House Sitting Rio Vista Junction

“Ellen was great!! We came back home to a very happy Peaky and a spotless apartment (dishes and linen all cleaned too!). Peaky can sometimes be a shy cat but he became friends with Ellen very quickly. We also appreciated the regular communication/updates and pics. Would love to have her sit Peaky again!”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have three cats of my own, including one that's about to be 6 years old. I also previously had two dogs and have years of experience caring for family members' dogs while they're away on week-long vacations. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I've worked with cats of all ages and personalities. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications if needed, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m also available for house-sitting excluding Tues/Thursday evenings starting August 24th due to my class schedule! In addition, I can commute to Napa as I regularly go into town! I always follow each pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you're away. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks or clean litter boxes, and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pets, and follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, or house rules. I'm happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Harry is absolutely amazing with my dogs and I cannot book him enough. My pets are happy and calm and I am super calm being able to leave him with my fur family and my home. He is overly communicative and flexible.”

“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”

“This is now my 3rd booking with Kristen. She’s extremely professional, good with my crazy dog, and always has open communication and constant pictures. I never worry when Zuri is in her care. Thank you so much!”

“Amy did an amazing job watching our babies while we were away! We felt great knowing our cats and dog were in such great hands! We definitely recommend! Thanks again for everything Amy!”

“Kiet was a HUGE lifesaver, and came in to save the day last minute. Our older pup has been having some anxiety following the 4th of July festivities, and I couldn’t leave him alone while I went to work. That’s where Kiet comes in—he was able to hang out with my anxious senior pup while I was at work and I couldn’t be happier. Kiet was great with communication, and made sure all care notes for both pups were followed. Thank you Kiet for making sure Romeo (and Onyx) had some company these past few evenings.”

About: My own pup crossed the rainbow bridge not long ago, so I’m looking to pass on the love to any and all pups! She lived to 13 years old so senior dogs have a special place in my heart, but I also raised her from a puppy so I’m comfortable with all ages. I’m a stay-at-home wife with no children and no pets currently. My husband is in the Air Force so I’m looking to find ways to spend my time during the days. My schedule is fairly open! I have a fenced backyard with a good amount of space and live in a nice quiet neighborhood. I am willing to make as many accommodations as needed, and am really open to whatever is needed. I prefer to only host one household at a time, but will occasionally be open to overlapping bookings if only by a day or two, and all parties are comfortable with it. Please don’t be afraid to let me know your preferences as well.

“Nicky was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very responsive. Came to meet my girls before sitting for them. They were very happy and comfortable, which is a must for me. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew they were in good hands. There were even a few situations that came up, not due to her, but she handled it perfect even though she could not get a hold of me ( I was on a cruise ). Not only did she take good care of my dogs but also took good care of my house. She cleaned and did laundry/dishes. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Nicky !”

“Chloe took amazing care of our pups and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout her stay. The pups loved her and we will certainly be using her services again.”

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

“Cristal took excellent care of our sweet, anxious doggie. She sent lots of pictures and let us know how Clara was doing. When we returned, the house was clean and orderly. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. We have already booked Cristal again!”

“Could not have had a better experience. Lots of communication. Great picture and video updates. The dogs were very happy and the house was perfect when we returned. Third experience booking through Rover, Best so far! Already rebooked.”

“Sabrina was such a love! She and our dog bonded from the start at our meet and greet. She said as fantastic at responding to my messages while we were away for 5 days. She went over the top with offering to come and go between our two houses so our dog would feel secure. The house was left immaculate and our dog was so happy when we got home and almost seemed to say “I missed you, but I had fun!”. Sabrina’s children loved our guy which was an added bonus. I will be hiring Sabrina again for sure!”

About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.

“Karci did a great job! I loved her attention to detail in asking and carrying out what our dog's routine and needs were. This helped maintain her days with consistently. Highly recommend her service.”

Nancy D.

“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”

About: ​As a local PhD student, I bring an exceptional level of detail, structure, and reliability to pet care. I am a fellow dog owner with extensive experience that ranges from house sitting cats and dogs to managing high energy environments with up to four dogs at once. Because I understand firsthand the daily routines and unique personalities of animals, I treat your pets with the exact same patience and care I give my own. My organized schedule ensures your home is fully respected and your furry family members receive dedicated companionship while you are away. ​As a PhD student, my weekends are completely free for pet care. I love balancing fun, active time with animals alongside quiet study hours during their downtime. I’ve managed everything from single cats to a pack of four dogs. I’ll give your pets the structured, reliable companionship they need while keeping your home perfectly respected. ​When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect. I strictly abide by all house rules, seamlessly maintain your pet’s established routines, and am always happy to keep things tidy by doing quick chores like vacuuming up pet hair or cleaning up litter before you get back.

“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”
