About: I've grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I love animals and look forward to helping you care your your precious pets. In the past I have worked as a pet and house sitter for a couple families. I always enjoy any time spent with animals. I have flexible schedule making me available to care for your fur babies! I live in Guerneville, but frequently go to Sebastopol throughout the week. So mainly looking to work for ones in these areas. But open to adventuring in to further surrounding areas if its a good fit for us both! Currently I am not able to board pets in my home because I am renting. But I would be happy to stop by and spend time with your pets whenever is needed!
“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.”

“Another great Willa Walk week! Exceptional care especially with providing extra care and love while Miss Willa heals from her hiking injury last week which resulted in an emergency room visit with suture procedure. Andrea truly is a Willa whisperer and just so talented, caring, and a natural intuit. Huzzah!”


“Sophia has done a great job walking my dog so far! She asked lots of questions at our initial meeting, which showed how committed she was to taking good care of him. She has accommodated our requested schedule even when it's a tight fit for her.”

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.
“Amanda has a wonderful calming energy with dogs. My shy dog warmed up to her immediately and trusted her. She is punctual, thoughtful and definitely “gets” dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

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: 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.
About: Being a lover of all things animals, I've spent many years caring for dogs, cats, tropical fish, chickens, ferrets, and more. I've owned a dog for most of my life and can't imagine a life without animals in it. I've dealt with mild-mannered to difficult pets and handle all with a patient, loving demeanor. One of my references will note that I took care of their temperamental cat with ease. They called me a cat whisperer, because the cat does not like many people but loved me. I've also cared for pets that need special attention such as injections and older animals with mobility issues. I am easy-going, responsible, and did I mention, I LOVE animals! Pets are family to me, and I treat them as such. I’m active and love long walks, play time and any other activity that helps your sweet fur-baby thrive! And with all things cute comes cleanup of course, and I like to keep a clean space for all. I’ll follow the pet parent’s lead to what works best for them and their loved ones. I’m new to Cazadero, CA and am excited to start to build a rapport with pet families. I worked for great people with awesome pets in Seattle, and I’m hoping to find the same in the Russian River and Bay Area. My schedule is open…don’t hesitate to reach out with questions! I have years of house/pet sitting experience and the references to go with it! It makes me happy to watch over your beloved pets. I’m able to give references upon asking. I love and respect my pup so much, and I will treat your pet just the same. The world would be worse off if we didn’t have fuzzy buddies!
“Evan is a kind and conscientious dog lover. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with him on a regular basis. He is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!!”

“Alison is so wonderful! We are very thankful to have found her through Rover. She is so prompt and a joy to communicate with. My dog enjoys his time with her and loves his walks around our neighborhood.”

About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my home.

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 have had dogs and cats for over 40 years, Pets make our lives better and I look forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is flexible and I am open to all pet care opportunities. I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your animals during my visit. I have had pets and am very conscience about pet safety. When outdoors, they will be supervised and played with. When indoors they will follow your house rules!

“Kyle has been my go-to dog walker for the last two years. He walks my husky Korra 2-3 times per week depending on my schedule, and has also taken care of her when I've gone away on vacation. Kyle is kind, responsible, flexible and so easy to work with and communicate with. My work schedule shifts week to week, and I sometimes need to ask for a walk last minute, and Kyle is always able to help. We love him!”

As of July 2026, there are 878 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Monte Rio. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Monte Rio. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Monte Rio.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monte Rio. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
