“Andrea is an awesome pet sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! She did drop ins to check on our two young cats while we were gone and gave them lots of care. She always posted great pictures and notes from her visits and it made it so nice to see our cats while we were away. Thanks Andrea!!!”

“Amanda is amazing as usual. This is our 7th or 8th time booking with her. She is always quick to respond to our requests, flexible and pays wonderful attention to our two cats. She plays with them, understands their personality differences, and she provides a detailed report each time of their behaviors and whether they are eating/drinking. She always sends multiple photos, too. Thank you Amanda! You’re a true gem.”


“Micki took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us frequent updates and pictures. We will reach out again next time we are out of town!”
About: I’ve loved animals since as long I can remember. Currently have 2 cats and an 11 month old shepherd/heeler puppy mix. The neighbors trust me with their pets when they’re out of town and I’d love to take care of yours as well! I was recently laid off from my job and have found myself with a lot of time to fill. I’d love to take care of your pets! I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but would come to yours and ensure your pet is comfortable and taken care of. I always make sure to check in on them, even the shy ones and make them feel special
“Awesome service provided. I’d definitely rebook with Tamara, as she was always fast to respond, very professional, she did everything I asked and was just awesome to deal with! She took good care of my fur babies for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend:)”


About: What sets me apart is my high energy, adaptability, and genuine attentiveness to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic kitten, a shy senior cat, or a playful pup, I adjust my care style to match their personality and routine. I’m not just here to feed and walk I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take pride in creating a calm and fun environment, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new best friend. As a student with an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have the time and availability to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. My goal is to create a low-stress, positive environment while you're away.
“Melissa is wonderful! 2 of our 3 dogs have different reactivity issues, and have had some of their “stranger danger” get worse between the pandemic and moving to Sonoma County. It’s a big relief to see our dogs resocializing and looking forward to interacting with new people”

“William has provided wonderful care for my dog Finn. He arrives right on time for drop-ins, shares photos and updates, and shows Finn lots of love. Would definitely recommend!”


“Gwenna was quick to respond, and sent pictures of our sweet boy every day. She was flexible and the whole process was very seamless. I can tell she spent a good amount of time with him, which I appreciated, even on the busy holiday week!”

“Clair is the best! Trusting someone with our baby has been tough, and she makes us all feel comfortable every step of the way. She also pays attention to important details and is flexible and reliable.”

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 dogs and all animals. I have a lot of experience taking care of my own and others. I have taken care of a farm for 5 years that has 6 dogs, 5 horses, 4 cats, and chickens so I am very attentive and aware of an animals needs at all time. I work from home so your pet can hangout with me all day and I can take breaks for walks and runs. I am available for overnights, extended vacations, dog walks, or special hikes. I am in good shape so long walks, hikes, and exercise aren't an issue. I treat my dog like a member of the family as I will treat yours the same way. They will receive lots of love and attention in my care. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will be happy to provide the best care. I have a lot of repeat clients not on rover so happy to provide plenty more references. My schedule is flexible and I work from home Monday through Friday. I can take breaks during the day to take your pet out for walks. They also can go in and out of the backyard as they please. I have a fenced yard and dogs can stay at my house or I can come to your house too. My house is secure so your pet will be safe.
About: I have cared for dogs since I was ten years old and I got my first puppy. After my college graduation I wanted another dog so bad but because of my travel for work I was always the one to just visit and baby sit my parents dogs for about the past 7 years. However, I'm changing careers now to be home more and have my very own puppy and luckily the chance to look after some other cute dogs as well! I live on a 7 acre property and have experience taking care of goats and chickens as well! I'm currently going back to school, mostly online so I have lots of time to drive to and play with your dog. On some days I do have to be at the SRJC in person but never for more than 4 hours at a time. I am an outdoorsy person and I love to go on long walks. I also have a SUV so if a walk in a park further away is desired I can easily transport them. I have a high energy puppy of my own that loves to play with other dogs big and small so he is always available to keep your dog company if they enjoy playing with others.

About: I worked the wag app in Chicago for a 2 years, and loved it! Excited to be in an area where i can start dog walking again. I also grew up in a household with dogs as pets so im very comfortable around all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am a stay at home mom, i also nanny my nephew during the week. We have plenty of time to love your fur-babies! I have a fenced in space for the fur baby. I can accommodate your fur babies needs whether they prefer to roam the house or need a crate. I do not own a dog or will i double book so you can be sure of your fur babies safety.
“Brooke took such good care of Judy! We are new puppy parents who had to leave the pup when we both had all day work meetings. Brooke did a fantastic job during the drop in visit and sent the cutest photos of Judy. I would love to work with Brooke again for any Judy-sitting needs!”

About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.
About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.
