“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”

Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. What I Offer: Daily walks & fresh air 🐕 Playtime, snuggles & companionship ❤️ Feeding & fresh water 🍲 Medication (basic, if needed) 💊 Drop-in visits 🐾 Overnight care & house sitting 🏡 Photo/text updates for your peace of mind 📸 You can count on me for dependable care, attention to detail, and lots of love. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾💛 Caring for pets is the best part of my day! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I love building my routine around wagging tails and happy paws. 🐕🐾 I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable.

I make sure water bowls are always full, litter boxes and yards are clean, and pets get plenty of love and attention. When house sitting, I also respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands.

“Thanks for playing with the twins while we were away. The kids were very comfortable with both of them.”

About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.

About: I have been dog sitting for years but started Rover in 2022. I started out caring for my two pugs and cat, and have been sitting for family, friends, and folks on Rover. I am currently working as a flexible overnight nursing assistant, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The rest of the days I am here to help, so they can get all the love and attention they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

“Chantel gave our big dog lots of exercise, which is a lot more than a lot of dog walkers will do. We love that she's willing to really run him!”

About: Animals have always been a significant part of my life, offering a journey of continuous learning and growth. My experience spans nearly a decade in the veterinary field, where I gained invaluable expertise in caring for sick and injured pets, as well as horses, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and pigs. This diverse background has enriched my understanding and approach to animal care. The greatest source of joy and personal development has been my American Staffordshire mix, Kai. His unique needs led me to explore behavioral modification programs, culminating in my apprenticeship with a lead trainer. I was honored to lead off-leash pack walks for groups of 6-8 dogs, many with ongoing behavioral challenges. For 10 years, I owned and operated a dog boarding, day care, walking, and training company. This experience allowed me to provide comprehensive care and training services to a wide variety of dogs, further honing my skills and passion for animal care. Additionally, I have enjoyed pet sitting and boarding for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Kai and I are active adventurers, frequently exploring the mountains, coast, and open road. I specialize in caring for sick pets and administering medications and treatments, and I am excited to now offer my skills in animal communication. Rover is my full time job and I dedicate myself fully to pets in my care. I care for them like they are my own. Being an animal communicator helps with this aspect in that I can ask them what they need or what’s bothering them. I have a huge variety of experiences to pull from and will ensure that your pet is cared for as if you were still home. I appreciate keeping close communication with owners/guardians especially when a pet is new to me.

“Kaiel took my sweet but reactive pup out for a walk and fed her dinner while I was out of town. Kaiel was super responsive to all my messages, came over for a meet and great ahead of time, was really great with my pup, and sent lot of photos and a nice message after the walk. I highly recommend!”

About: I have always been highly intuned with animals and greatly enjoy providing top level of care to all animals. I treat them with a high level of respect and cater to their individual needs to assure they are happy during their time away from their family. I have an elaborate professional work history working with small and large animals. Working in both veterinary hospitals and as an Animal Control officer has given me an ellaborate set of skills to assure the wellbeing of your animal friends. I offer a flexible pet care schedule, and I am happy to discuss your pet's personal needs to assure they will be met. You animal's wellbeing and happiness is most important to me. I have a fenced yard and my sweet playful rescue dog loves interacting with other dogs. After a solid introduction by walking the dogs to establish a comfortable interaction they are free to play in the yard or have quiet time in the house.

“Great communication and Shona is happy and tired.”

About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.

About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm a very active person so walking a lot is no issue for me. I enjoy hiking with dogs. I’ve worked in many dog shelters taking care of dogs of all different ages. I have also been a dog walker/sitter with rover and wag for about 6 years now. With me your puppers are in good hands :) I am working on a farm from 8-4 M-Th so weekends are more ideal. I like to take pups out first thing in the morning for a little stroll and on weekends I usually spend more time relaxing at home. I’m always checking in on them and giving them love whether that looks like playing with them or giving them a cuddle. I also check the water bowl multiple times a day to make sure they are hydrated. I try to have regular feeding times as well.

About: I provide reliable and loving care for your pets, whether through house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks. Your furry friends will be well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention, all tailored to your standards and beyond. I’m a dog person at heart, but I also love caring for cats. Many friends and clients trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I also offer house-sitting services, including plant care, mail collection, and general home upkeep. If boarding is needed, my cozy home in Forestville features a fenced yard, ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. I live close to a park that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play. Send me a message—I’d love to meet you and your beloved pets and ensure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Updated 1-22-2025 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Most of my freelance work is done from home, so I’ll often be around to keep your pets company. When I’m out running errands or completing local handyman tasks, I ensure your pets’ needs are fully taken care of before I leave and as soon as I return. My availability includes mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, giving me plenty of time to tailor my care to your pets’ routines. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friends! I prioritize safety and trust by closely following each pet parent's care instructions and maintaining a calm, secure environment. In clients' homes, I treat the space respectfully and ensure doors, windows, and surroundings are safe for your cat, dog, or other pets. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I make sure to follow instructions and feed them on time according to your schedule. I also often take dogs on walks and potty brakes and play fetch with them if they like that as well.

“Natalie was a godsend! She stepped in over the busy holiday season to walk our beloved pet while we were away and when we found that our overnight sitter needed some extra support. So grateful for that! We found Natalie to be conscientious and in tune with what our dog needed and what we needed to know about our dog when we were away. Perfect amount of photos and updates! In addition, Natalie is fun and upbeat and clearly cares about the well being of animals. Even though it was one of the weeks of the year, Natalie took out our girl-dog faithfully. She was an excellent communicator with the other sitter, which really helped and made us feel like our dog was getting the best care she could have.”

“Kyle watched over my Labrador with a recent toe injury AND during a blistering 115 degree heat wave. While thousands of miles away I never worried with Kyle. He is incredibly dependable, easy going and flexible. You can’t go wrong with Kyle caring for your best friend.”

About: I can travel from Sebastopol to Santa rosa to Windsor. Ive been cat and dog sitting for years ever since I was in high school. I have used wag and care to walk dog and house sit them as well. I am wanting to be a veterinarian and this can also give me some experience to work at a shelter. I'm always playful and love going on hikes or walk , so your furbaby will be in shape and having a funtime with me :) I have a hamster named goobers and a cat named gumi. I walk my cat every morning at 8 am and always make sure they both get the proper care. Goobers have some health problems so I'll give him medicine in his food without him realizing. I will go to the gym for a bit then after usually once a week ill clean goobers cage and give gumi a bath every 2 weeks because his fur is very thick, needs extra attention. I am good at giving baths without a mess with almost every pet I've been with. Always gonna be on time with there meds. Make sure they have plenty of water and food. And always letting them walk me lol.
