House Sitting Northwood

“We love Andrea! She has stayed with our little love, Cleo, twice now and it’s been a dream for both experiences. Andrea is thoughtful and communicative, leaving us messages and sending updates about Cleo’s adventures. I always know that Cleo is in great hands when Andrea is here. We will definitely continue to work with her!”

“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

“Evan watched our pup on short notice, and we were super happy with how everything went. We were away for the weekend and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Our dog needs extra attention on walks due to reactivity and also has specific feeding instructions, and Evan was incredibly accommodating with all of it. He even came over for an in-person visit beforehand, and it was clear how conscientious he is and how important it was to him to make sure he was a good fit for our dog. That built a lot of trust for us. He also sent photos and updates over the weekend was very rad. We’d definitely use him again, and plan to next time a trip comes up. 5/5 recommend.”

“Emily is so great with our pitbull. She truly loves the dogs she's watching as her own, and takes good care of the house she is watching as well. This is the second time Emily has dog and house sat for us, and I'd highly recommend her for both!”

“Al communicated well, and was a great dog-cuddler and pal while my old guy was alone for the day. Sent photos and arrived to the sit on time. Thank you Al!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I recently had to say goodbye to my 18-year old dog. My nickname is Snow White since animals are always drawn to me. I am looking for opportunities to house/pet sit October-January in Healdsburg, Windsor, and Santa Rosa. I work full-time in Healdsburg, 9-5, and am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends, October-January. I am well-versed in administering medication to dogs and cats. I love dogs and cats and have a lot of experience in caring for animals of all ages. Happy to take dogs on walks and love to send photos of your fur babies while staying with them.

About: I began pet (and house) sitting for others at the age of 15 and have continued on and off for the last 25 years. Many close friends have pets I watch regularly, from seniors to puppies/kittens, big to small, rescues and designer alike. I've had pets of my own for most of my life. We got our first puppy when I was nine years old - a yellow lab / Collie mix who I wanted to name Skunk due to the white stripe down his forehead. But the family prevailed with the name Buddy (and I later agreed it fit him perfectly). Buddy lived 16 long years and taught me everything a young person needs to learn... responsibility, compassion, unconditional love, and eventually letting go. We still remember his toothy grin whenever he was caught being naughty. In my mid-20’s we rescued a tiny kitten from the streets while living overseas. After that first can of tuna on a rainy night, Nuni became family and gave us joy and companionship for 10 years across two continents and several big cities, ultimately settling down with me in Sonoma county for her last chapter. Her head-butt nuzzles were the best. Four years ago a human came into my life along with her canine companion, Atlas. I began caring for Atlas on weekends when his (human) mom was away and we bonded quickly. Towards the end of his life, I was his nearly full-time caregiver, administering multiple medications, cleaning up accidents, tailoring walks and playtime to his worsening arthritis, and doing all the things in between to give him a good quality of life. I'll treat your pets with as much love and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time doing handywork and gardening while also restoring our older home, so I have flexible time in between to spend on pet care. I'm a detail-oriented person and am happy to follow specific plans for your pets' needs. Generally, I enjoy spending time with animals and look to engage in activities that fits each individual. Safety is always top priority and I try to be prepared as best as possible.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Erik take care of my energetic duo, Beau and Jet, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional service he provided. From the moment I met Erik, I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Erik went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. He not only ensured that Beau and Jet were well-fed and content, but he also took the time to engage with them, providing playtime that kept their spirits high. One of the highlights of Erik’s service was the beautiful photos he captured of Beau and Jet. Erik’s communication skills were outstanding. He regularly sent me updates on Beau and Jet, reassuring me of their happiness and safety. This level of communication not only put my mind at ease but also demonstrated his professionalism and is top choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind while they are away Thank you, Erik, for your outstanding care of Beau and Jet. You truly are a gem in the world of pet sitting!”

“Monica was terrific and my dogs immediately took to her. She is a very sweet person and obviously has a way with animals. My two dogs enjoyed their playtime with Monica in my orchard and even neighbor dogs came over to play when they witnessed all the fun!”

“Sheila was our absolute hero and stepped into care for our lovely little senior dog after a last minute cancellation from another sitter. She was wonderful. She sent daily updates about our pup and took great care of her and our home. I appreciated her open communication and ease and would 100% book with her again.”

“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”

“Jenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!”

“Jemma was great. She was responsive. Both the pups seemed happy and well care for upon return. Would use again.”

“Casey was absolutely outstanding. My rescue kitty is not the easiest but Casey fed her and tended to her every need when I was away for the holiday. She was responsive and caring. I would highly recommend her!”

“Chris ( Chappy) is amazing. We have two giant (120 and 150 lbs), complicated dogs—one of whom can be aggressive. Plus seizures. This is not an easy situation and we have rejected most sitters. Chappy had the right experience and feel to handle them both. He is also extremely conscientious. He is an experienced dog handler and we are relieved to have found him.”
