Cat Sitting in Nicasio

“Kat was everything you would want in a petsitter. She was responsible, communicative, capable, loved my elderly cat, and took great care of her. Mamacat was very content and peaceful when I arrived home, and the house was clean and well taken care of. Kat was used to giving oral medications, but had never done insulin injections before. She was happy to learn how, came ahead of time to be trained, and then performed Mamacat's whole daily routine smoothly without problems. She reached out when she had questions, sent updates, and overall was very responsive to my lengthy instructions. I felt Mamacat was in very capable and responsible hands, and I look forward to having Kat sit for my precious kitty again anytime. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs in a wide range of situations, including senior dogs, special-needs pups, and dogs recovering from injuries. I’m comfortable with the extra structure and patience they often need. I’m also careful and consistent with medications, and I follow detailed feeding instructions exactly, including timing, special diets, and any restrictions. What I’m especially good at is communication. I pay close attention to a dog’s eyes, ears, posture, and energy, because they tell you so much before they ever make a sound. I notice when a dog is unsure, overstimulated, tired, or asking for space, and I adjust right away, slowing down, giving them time, offering reassurance, or keeping things calm and predictable. I also use a gentle “dog voice” (yes, the sweet baby-talk voice) and clear, steady cues, because many dogs respond quickly to warmth, tone, and consistency. Even anxious or shy dogs usually soften when they realize they’re being understood. I’ve also cared for large dogs, and my Labrador retriever loves having big buddies to play with. No matter the size, age, or temperament, I’m respectful of each dog’s individual needs and I make sure they feel safe, seen, and truly cared for with plenty of affection, attention, and patience. I currently work from home, and I have a (mostly) flexible schedule. I like to get out with my dog two times a day for 2+ mile walks on local trails and parks. I respect people's spaces, and I am good at following detailed instructions for homes and their pets. I have references and happy clients to tell you about it!

About: Hi there! My name is Leah, and I’m a 22 year old college student who absolutely loves animals! I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to pet sitting.

About: Ever since I was little, my life has revolved around animals, with a passion for dogs. Starting young I have enjoyed dog sitting and volunteering at the animal shelter. Throughout my many years of animal care I have taken care of dogs big and small, ranging from 110lb+ lapdogs to fearsome guard dogs stuck in a 4lb body. I have particularly enjoyed my time caring for a number of senior dogs with a wide range of disabilities. I also have experience caring for households of 2 dogs. Your dog will be in the perfect hands with me, with my skillful blend of experience, confidence, enthusiasm, empathy and most of all adoration for your furry friend. Can’t wait to cuddle with your pet, play fetch or tug of war, or take a stroll around the block. Your pet your way. Our pets are unique as us and each has its own needs. I’m here to met them where they’re at and maintain the same routines and stability for them while you’re away. I have experience in administrating medication, executing daily routines, and maintaining consistency with your training and house rules. For added peace of mind I’ll keep you updated with lovely photos of your dog! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Send me a message and we can see if we’re a fit! I am available on weekends and some weekdays. Please see my calendar for further details! Unsure of my availability? Don’t hesitate to send me a message! Your dog’s safety is my first priority. With every booking we discuss care and safety in detail. Before hand, we cover medical conditions, habits such as running away, reactivity, or jumping on counters or over fences, neighbors or other pets or hazards to be aware of in the neighborhood, and any other safety concerns that may arise. By preparing with emergency contacts, relevant information, and a clear plan, we ensure that we can both move forward with peace of mind.

About: I understand what it’s like to leave your pet alone with a stranger and I will make sure it is as if you never left! I have owned many different types of pets myself including dogs, cats, rabbits, and Guinea pigs. Animals seem to naturally gravitate towards me and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I am experienced with puppies as well as elderly dogs. I love showing families pics and videos of their pets while they’re gone to keep them updated! I am available weekday afternoons and some weekends. Monday, Wed, Friday after 3pm and T Th at 5pm. On weekends, I just need a 3 day heads up! I like to make sure the pet feels loved and safe first and foremost and I make sure to keep great communication with the client! I am very adamant on making sure all the necessary tasks are completed as well.

“Bethany was an amazing catsitter! She sent lots of pictures of our cat and kept him very engaged with play & walks. She was super proactive in advance of the sitting, coming over to meet our cat and making sure she had all the info needed to take care of him. She also did a terrific job taking care of our house (seriously we came home to it cleaner than we left it!). I felt very safe with her taking care of my cat & house - 10/10 would book again!”

About: Hello; I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years experience caring for and living with all dogs big and small. I'm flexible, reliable, and love walking, exploring, and staying with pets. I currently work part-time for a San-Rafael based non-profit (6 hours/day), and have all other hours open to devoting to your pet. I'm able to stay with and care for animals (both short and extended stays), and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week as well. I've stayed with many animals and cared for many homes for over a decade. I've stayed at homes for a night, and homes for a month, and have experience with various walking, medication, and care routines.

“Noelle was a great communicator and sent great pictures of Tater. We would definitely have her sit again for us!”

“Thank you, Janaki for taking the best care of our girls. Really appreciate the updates and photos. Our shy girls were super quick to warm up to you.”

“Last time we went away, we used a non-professional catsitter who , due to a family emergency, was only able to visit once in 4 days. This time, we loved getting photos of our cat weaving her way between Em's legs, nuzzling her face, etc. during twice-a-day visits. We were so glad to know that our kitty was fed and watered and that she had used her litterbox and it was not filthy (the rest of the house was quite dirty and messy, and we are very sorry about that and grateful that our catsitter fulfilled her obligation despite that). Thank you so much, Emily!”

“Ariane did a great drop in with my two dogs for the first time and left them happy and relaxed while I was away. She was a prompt communicator too which I appreciated!”

About: To ensure your pet receives individualized attention, we host only one dog at a time. We’re a good fit for dogs who are over 1 year old, 15 lbs or more, spayed/neutered, fully potty trained, and happy sleeping solo (no human beds or bedrooms). These basics help keep the vacation smooth for everyone. Pick up/drop off: 6:00am - 7:00pm. We live with a wonderful Lab named Lincoln (no current job). We are able to do walks (and runs!) through the Watershed, Deer Park, Headlands and love to take photos. For longer stays, we do field trips (including a secret dog pool in Petaluma 🤫). We try to switch each day up to provide variety. Backyard with plenty of room and recently installed dog run. Fenced from road. Also a hammock should our guest prefer a more leisurely day. ;)

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”

About: I got my first dog at the age of 10 & had many pets since then. I have experience with both small and big dogs, as well as cats as I have one right now. I am currently in school so my schedule is pretty flexible! Just looking for a way to make extra money so I am open to different days + times as needed 😊 I am very careful with the detailed care your pet may need, I will take care of your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had pets since i could remember, it’s important to me that our animals live happy and healthy lives! I’ve always been a family dog watcher and walker and would love to be part of yours! I’m currently available for any type of care! i’m taking a break from work and school so it’ll be around the clock care for personal care! I have a fenced yard with security cameras to make sure there’s no chance of any unnoticed care, even while outside! And of course I will always give extra love to your fur babies!

About: I have about 15 years of pet-sitting experience, with plenty of references in the San Francisco Bay Area, and British Columbia. The vast majority of my pet-sits have been through word-of-mouth, as previous clients automatically refer me to their friends, but I am also appreciating the service that Rover provides! I’m responsible, trustworthy, and care deeply about animals. I keep homes filled with warm energy, and bring comfort and fun to animal companions. I have sat for dogs, cats, chickens and a lizard! I have also dealt with special needs animals, including medication administration. I look forward to hearing from you! Why I love dog sitting Lifetime animal lover. Had dogs and cats in my extended family, and have experience taking care of many different types of animals. Makes me feel good to help animals live the best life they live. :-) I have a flexible schedule that I can arrange myself, and I enjoy giving pets as much time as I possibly can. I am very pet-centered. I care by paying attention. It's like having a child in the house; they are dependent on me as their caregiver, and they deserve to have their needs attended to. I don’t have much of a weekly routine, so it fits in quite nicely! I decide what my days look like for the most part. I care for pets in other people’s homes by paying attention to them! They are dependent on me for their care and survival and they deserve happy lives. I actually don’t have a routine, so it fits in quite well! I am able to plan my days around pet care instead of the other way around. I am not one who can just ignore an animal and pretend it’s not there because its wants and needs are inconvenient. They are beings that depend on us for love and survival, so I am very attentive to their needs.

“We really appreciate Elena watching our cat for us while we were camping. We felt completely at ease knowing she was there. She was quick to update us when she got there and how it went when we returned. Have already rebooked her for next month!”

Marissa S.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛”
