“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!”

“We’re so grateful we found Rachel to drop in on our sweet little Syrah. She was awesome and let him out for potty breaks while we attended a wedding during the day! Loved all the photos and can’t wait to book with Rachel again. Thank you!”

“Sigrid was great! She came first for a meet and great to meet Ozzy and make sure he would be comfortable with her. Then when she came for the drop in visit, after feeding Ozzy she spent extra time with him —playing fetch and walking with him until he was worn out. She kept us updated with photos and videos during the visit and it was clear that Ozzy was having a great time with her. We are grateful that Sigrid took extra time to get to know Ozzy and make sure he was at ease with her — that’s not always easy for Ozzy, as he was mistreated in his former life. Sigrid is clearly a true dog lover, and I highly recommend her. Your pup will be in good, capable and loving hands with Sigrid!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, so I am very used to their behavior and I absolutely love being around them! I’ve dealt with senior dogs as well as puppies, so nothing will surprise me😂 I am currently a student, and I have many open hours that I am free to take care of your pet! I am free most nights to house sit as well. I have two dogs of my own and a cat so I am very used to having pets around!! If need be, I have experience putting pets into crates and administering medicine.

“We love love love how Lucy cares for our cat! Truly we could not have asked for a better cat sitter. She is so warm and thoughtful. The quality of care she gives is always fantastic. My cat loves her and I’m sure all other pets under her care do, too.”

“Samuel was assisted by his sister, who handled a couple of the scheduled days. Both of them were great! They had a wonderful attitude and were eager to help when I needed to make occasional small requests or adjustments to my instructions. Very responsive and prompt. I will definitely hire him (or both of them) again!”

About: I’m a registered veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience looking for a side job. I have a background in emergency, general practice, behavior, and dermatology. I’m working relief shifts now so I have various availability to fit most pet parents needs. Whether that be drop in pet sitting/ enrichment or dog walking. I have 2 small dogs and 3 cats at home. So I can’t pet sit in my home but I’m happy to provide drop in services.
“This is my first time using this service and I’m thrilled Andréa was available. She’s a lovely person who obviously cares for animals. She did a great job and I’ve already booked her again!”

“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.”

“Our wirehaired doxies immediately warmed to Jessica which made us feel really comfortable leaving them for the first time in years and years. It’s clear she loves dogs and understands separation anxiety issues. They got extra love and attention, and when we got home they slept for hours! Thank you, Jessica!”

“Finding Audrey has been such a treat for us. She is smart and personable and she is extremely responsible and dependable. She took such wonderful care of our cat and our home. We are so pleased and relieved to find such a nice person to take care of our pet and keep an eye on things while we are away. We no longer need to feel guilty about burdening the neighbors. We think the cat misses her, she got so much extra special personal attention while we were gone!”
About: I'm retired, and thus very flexible. I'm quite reliable and dependable. My girlfriend and I live in a historic house near downtown Petaluma. I go for a nice long walk/run most days, and would love to have your dog keep me company! I've had cats or dogs throughout most of my life, and love both. I'm mostly retired, so I'm very flexible about scheduling. Ideally my assignments are in the morning or evening, leaving the middle of the day free for kayaking, bicycling, playing music, or just relaxing. Obviously, it's a lot of trust to put in a stranger from the internet to come into your house while you're gone. Whether it's talking on the phone, meeting in person, being Facebook friends, I'll do my best to help you know I'm not a scammer or a robber.
About: What sets me apart is the calm, cat-focused home environment I provide, combined with over 6 years of hands-on cat care experience. I specialize in creating a low-stress, clean, and structured space where cats can feel safe and comfortable, whether they are playful, shy, or senior cats needing extra patience. I pay close attention to each cat’s individual needs and routines, from feeding and enrichment to litter box hygiene and daily observation of behavior. I’m also experienced in giving gentle care and medication support when needed, always prioritizing the cat’s comfort and emotional well-being. Most importantly, I treat every cat like family—offering consistent affection, one-on-one attention, and a peaceful home environment designed to help them relax and feel secure while their owners are away. I work part-time and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine, including feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, and regular check-ins. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give pets the attention, companionship, and supervision they need. My home is designed to be a safe and secure environment for pets. It has multiple layers of doors, a fully fenced yard, and security cameras at the front for added safety. All doors are kept closed at all times to prevent any chance of escape. I also have a calm, controlled indoor space with no dogs, no children, and a clean, structured setup for cats. I prioritize trust, safety, and routine—ensuring every pet feels secure, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Each cat is carefully monitored, and I maintain a quiet, stress-free environment where they can relax and feel at home.
About: I am a life-long animal lover with experience caring for and training dogs, horses, and chickens, along with many exotic species! I have personally owned and cared for all kinds of animals for over 30 years, and have experience in animal training, first aid, and grooming. I am available full-time during school vacations, summer/winter break, most holidays, and weekends and evenings during the school year. I have another dog that goes for twice-daily walks and would be happy to walk with a buddy if your dog would like that! I have a safe, fenced yard with lots of dog-safe plants, trees, and bushes to sniff. Our chickens live in a fully-enclosed coop so your dog can say hello to them safely! My dog is very friendly and comfortable with other friendly dogs. We have a doggy door for constant access to the yard that can also be closed for safety if necessary.

About: There's never been a time when I haven't been surrounded by animals, and I have grown to enjoy and take seriously the care of pets. I also worked part-time at a kennel, and have lots of experience with many different breeds of dogs. As a pet sitter, I make sure to put the animals comfort and care first and offer updates daily to pet owners. I am also a very active person and I'm constantly hiking or going for runs. I have cared for everything from birds, dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles. I've also helped to train dogs (and puppies) as well as groom them. I don't think I've ever met an animal that I didn't love, and would love to get to know yours! I work from home on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and can be available some weekends with advanced notice. After getting to know a dog, would consider house boarding. No overnights at someone’s house at this time. Since I work from home, I would be able to schedule my day around the walks for the dogs. I can do a walk to the park on my lunch breaks, or start or end the day with them. I always treat my clients home with respect and aim to leave if the same or better than I found it. At this time, only established pets in my schedule would be open for at home care. For those pets, we’re used to organizing our schedule around special needs dogs, including making sure a camera is on for any moments we might leave the house.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Petaluma
The only reason we feel good leaving our elderly cats to go on vacation is because we know Cora will take such amazing care of them! She's incredibly communicative, kind, caring, always goes above and beyond and is just an awesome person. I couldn't possibly think more highly of her, or be more forceful in my recommendation that if you're on the fence, just give her a shot - you'll be incredibly happy you did!
I have used Ariel a few times now and really appreciate her. She is trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. My kitty is a scaredy cat and when he found a new hiding spot and Ariel couldn't find him once, she called to let me know and offered to stay longer than her booked time, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Ariel!

Finding Audrey has been such a treat for us. She is smart and personable and she is extremely responsible and dependable. She took such wonderful care of our cat and our home. We are so pleased and relieved to find such a nice person to take care of our pet and keep an eye on things while we are away. We no longer need to feel guilty about burdening the neighbors.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
