“This was our first time using Rover. Torrie did an excellent job. We really appreciated her reports and photos. It looks like she and our cat had fun playing with each other. Torrie was flexible with visits. We would definitely ask Torrie to take care of our cat again.”
“Andréa was awesome. She housesat and watched my two young-ish kitties for a week. The house was in great shape upon return (thank you for doing the laundry of your guest sheets etc.—totally above and beyond). Kitties were in good spirits and, in fact, I think Pebbles didn't expect to see me upon return...lol. Thank you, Andréa, for taking care of them. Loved all the photos and great communications. I didn't miss them as much as it felt like I was with them the whole time, You're the best! Until next time.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She came over to let my dog Shep out and feed him while I was away. Shep is a timid and shy German Shepherd who’s usually very leery of strangers—but somehow, Elizabeth has this incredible gift for working with animals. She made him feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter.”
“This was the first time I used Rover to sit for my cats. Cora was great. All is well and my cats are happy. I got great photos from Cora while I was gone. I highly recommend her.”
About: I worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and have been caring for pets still after that. Have had a senior dog of my own to care for. I am very flexible with time throughout the week. Have dogs to care for of my own so while wife is at work during the day will need to care for them a little bit. I will care for the clients pet in their home exactly how they would want their dog treated in their home, and will follow their instructions exactly.
“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a kid and have a strong understanding of dog behavior and body language, so your pup will always be in safe, loving hands. I’ve had my current dog, Mochi, for 2 years, and together we’d love to host your pup for a fun-filled sleepover party! 🎉 During their stay, I’ll send plenty of photos and videos so you can see how much fun they’re having and feel at ease while you’re away. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I can only host small to medium-sized dogs, as Mochi can be a bit nervous around larger breeds—thanks for understanding! Both me and my husband work from home. I give my dog 2 main walks and 2 other potty breaks in a day. We can keep an eye on your furry baby at all times and our dog can provide company too. :) I have a dog at home so he can keep your dog company. If you have a breed that need frequent grooming, I can brush him/her as frequently as needed. I feed my dog twice a day but I can follow any specific instructions you may have.
“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years — from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience. I’ve helped train young pups with basic commands and routines, and I’ve provided gentle care for older dogs with mobility or health needs. I have hands-on experience with many breeds, including French Bulldogs and Dogo Argentinos, all with unique personalities. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time in Petaluma from 7 AM to 3:30 PM, so my super early mornings and evenings are free Monday through Friday for walks or drop-ins. I can also use my lunch break for a quick potty visit if needed, and I’m available after work for evening care. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routine, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality and needs—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, I provide thoughtful, personalized attention for every animal I meet. I’m confident with everything from energetic puppy walks to gentle senior care, and I understand the little details that make a big difference—like medication schedules, feeding routines, and play preferences. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, a calm companion, or just someone who truly cares, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work part-time, so I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins before 11:30 AM most days. I’m also completely free on Mondays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or special care. I truly enjoy spending quality time with pets, and I make sure to plan my schedule so your pet always gets the attention and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines exactly to reduce stress and ensure familiarity. I keep a close, watchful eye during every visit or walk, making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s locking doors after visits, wiping paws after walks, or giving medication on time, I handle each detail with responsibility and heart—because I know your pet is family.
“Emelina is wonderful with my cat FuBatChu! She is always on time with her medications and makes sure she gets lots of attention. She also takes great care of my house while I'm away and sends me lots of photos and updates. I love seeing how happy and content FuBatChu is when I get home. I can not recommend Emelina enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a local Petaluma resident who would love to help out my neighbors and friends by spending time with their furry companions. I love to get outside and explore the area and I have flexibility during the week to come visit your dog or take them out, for a walk or just some extra playtime during the day while you’re away or at work. I work remote and am able to do drop ins or walks Monday-Friday. I love incorporating walks into my day and would love to bring a furry friend along and provide care and company while their owners are away. I care for others pets in the same way I care for my own dog, Freddie, with attention to their individual personalities and needs and with the care I would expect if someone was watching my dog in my home.
“Jess, you were the best!! It was such a relief knowing you were taking care of our Ricky. Thank you again for your diligence, great communication, and genuine care for our cat :)”
“Lucy’s delightful! An awesome communicator, she was loving and persistent with our shy kitty. She seemed genuinely delighted when he finally emerged on one of her visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gus in Lucy’s care again, if she’ll have us. Thank you Lucy!”
“Jessica was great about sending lots of pictures, even when my antisocial boy 🐈⬛ wasn’t always welcoming. My fur baby and home were well taken care of during my work trip and I’m grateful Jessica was so responsive and willing to take a last minute booking.”
“Such a reliable and great sitter for my 2 cats! They had a lot of anxiety that I was unprepared for but she offered lots of help with that specifically as well. Would definitely recommend, 10/10.”

“I've known andrew for over 15 years. When I go out of town he is always my go to pet sitter for my Doberman. He is great with my dog and caters to his medical needs as well as how much attention and love my dobey requires. He's reliable and punctual on top of just being an animal lover. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”

Xi & Yohanas F.
“Blair and Yohan dog sat for our 3 year old corgi, Eevee for about 2 weeks. Blair did a wonderful job taking care of her and always checked in by sending pictures of their day. She would ask clarifying questions to make sure Eevee was getting the best care possible. Blair would also make sure to introduce their dog Mochi slowly in the beginning to make sure they got along. They quickly became the best of friends and had a blast playing together everyday. It was such a relief knowing that our fur baby was in good hands and the pictures and videos we got made us feel less anxious about leaving her for so long! We definitely recommend Blair and will look forward to having her watch Eevee again in the future.”
