“Tiffany was great. Excellent in communicating and did a great job with Abby who felt quite at home with her. She also left the house spotless when she left. I'm very pleased.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs of all sizes, and chickens. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, bathing, administering oral medications, cleaning litter boxes and animal areas, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both high-energy pets who love to play and older animals who may need a gentler approach and extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. Whether your pet needs long walks, cuddle time, medication, enrichment activities, or just someone dependable to check in on them, I’m happy to help! I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, attentive, and trustworthy, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and open evening availability for walks, check-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of routines and pet needs. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, bathing, administering oral medications, enrichment activities, crate routines, and providing lots of companionship and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, care, and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while also making sure pets receive playtime, companionship, exercise, and lots of affection. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. For dogs, I provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, and plenty of engagement and supervision. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box cleaning, enrichment/playtime, brushing if requested, medication administration, and calm companionship that matches each cat’s comfort level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“Savannah was a very communicative and thoughtful pet sitter. We had a last minute injured pet and she took very good care of him in particular. She was attentive and observant of all his needs. We would hire her again!”

“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”

“Kat was such an amazing dog sitter to our senior dog Maui. She also took incredible care of our home leaving it clean and in perfect condition. She was super responsive to all communication and gave us updates during our time away. Our dog, who is typically very shy and skittish, loved Kat and felt very comfortable with her. Our dog went on walks and left the house which she typically never does with anyone but us. We plan on using Kat again soon and would highly recommend her!”

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.

“Michelle was so wonderful and attentive with our pup and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely use her again.”

“I was a very nervous first time puppy mom and Blake was great at giving updates and keep my mind at ease! Would highly recommend as she communicates, takes care of the pup, and my apartment. Thanks again!”

Tabitha E.

“This is the first time my fiance and I used Rover for sitting, and Zahra made the experience very calm and less anxiety inducing! She took great care of Jango, Mochi, and the house while we were gone :) would highly recommend for sitting and dog walking!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for my whole life! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have taken care of every kind of animal including dogs, cats, frogs, horses, birds, rabbits and more! I am flexible and can navigate my schedule to meet your needs! I can pop by for a quick lunch time potty visit or help get energy out on hour + excursions! I am a pet owner and lover on top of caring for animals! Safety and calm is my number one priority! Pets are a part of the family and are treated as such!

“Sam was great with our two little pups, who are not used to sitters and can be feisty. They were so happy to hang with him while we were out of town, and I believe he made two friends for life! Thanks Sam!”

About: I provide a safe, loving, and pet-friendly home for your dog while you’re away. With no children in the house and a fully fenced backyard, your pup can enjoy plenty of space to play and relax. Daily walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love and attention are always included. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. For added security air tag is place on dogs when taken outside for walks. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, walks, play, and cuddle sessions, making sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate the specific needs of each pet, whether that’s multiple walks, special feeding times, or extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no children, a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and plenty of cozy spaces for rest. I supervise playtime, offer daily walks, and tailor care to your dog or cat’s routine so they feel right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and keep their environment clean and stress-free. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether in my home or yours, I give pets lots of love, attention, and patience, creating a safe and trusted space where they can feel happy and secure.

“Toni did such a great job dog sitting Bruce. He took to her really quickly and we could tell that he was happy and loved while we were away. We will definitely be booking Toni going forward.”

Randy D.

“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”

“Alex went above and beyond on his first overnight with our cat TK. After an initial meeting, he asked questions to be sure he understood our cat and our house. On his visit he sent oodles of photos, our 9-yr-old TK looking completely relaxed and having fun. We returned to a happy, calm and collected cat and our house perfectly taken care of. We've already booked Alex for 2 more chunks of time later this month. Responsive, understanding, conscientious. Oh--and he's so upbeat. So glad to have him in our TK family now.”

Kitty M.

“Lindsay was a perfect dog and house sitter while my wife and I were on vacation. It was so great knowing our precious older dogs were being well taken care of as Lindsay updated us on a daily basis. Will absolutely be hiring her again if she’s available.”

Sam B.

“Cora is fantastic. Have booked her twice and the second time threw in a new kitten we had just adopted as an added challenge, and on top of that our older cat got a bit ill sneaking too much kitten food. Cora was so good with both of them the week we were gone and is very communicative and caring. Very thankful we found her.”

Austin S.

“Thank goodness for Kyrin and her kind, loving, responsible, respectful care she took of our dog Eddie. She is a lovely human being and we’d welcome her back any time!”

“I recently had Madison house sit and pet sit for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took wonderful care of my cat, playing with him multiple times a day and regularly sending pictures so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, just as I had left him. Madison was also incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Any time I had a question, she replied quickly and put my mind at ease. She also left the house in great shape, which I really appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be a worrisome experience, but I never felt anxious once with Madison. I was completely at ease knowing my cat and home were in such capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and I will absolutely be hiring her again without hesitation.”
