2. Oksana S.
“I spend the vast majority of my time with my dog Maple and this was my first time using Rover. Oksana was wonderful! Very loving and attentive, and an excellent communicator. Maple was happy and relaxed when I picked her up, and clearly had a nice time with Oksana. I highly recommend her as a compassionate and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much!!”
3. Robin B.
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
4. Gabriel & Laura M.
“Gabriel & Laura took such great care of our dogs, Kylo & Cocoa! They were very attentive and sent us updates throughout the dogs’ stay, so we got to enjoy our weekend knowing that our dogs were cared for by this amazing family. Highly recommend and will definitely have them look after the dogs again when we’re in the area!”
5. Michael & Regina R.
“I've known Mike now for nearly 40 years, both personally and professionally. I have always known him to be a kind, friendly, caring, and professional gentleman. Mike and his family had Furpers at the same time we had our two dogs and a couple of cats, and playdates were a routine. Mike was obvious an animal person, and their dogs were clearly part of their family. I can't speak highly enough about Mike, his love of animals, and highly recommend him to be your next Pet Caregiver!”
6. Heather & Calob James D.
“Heather took great care of Mia, sent many pictures, was extremely responsive, and was easy to work with. Mia had a great time finding all of the best snuggle spots and hanging with Heather’s dogs as well. I’d highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
7. Mollie C.
“Thank you Mollie for taking care of Millie. She looked very happy sleeping on your lap.❤️ I feel when we are on our vacation she will be close too you.”
8. Alex L.
“Our dogs loved it at Alex and Bri's home. The pups are usually anxious when we leave but they made themselves right at home. They loved the new grass put in their large backyard, found their favorite spot on their couch and got plenty of snuggles. We were updated constantly with plenty of pictures which assured us that they were being very well taken care of. We booked our next stay with them before we even picked them up. I highly recommend Alex and Bri!”
9. Lindsay & Cory L.
“Lisa was quick to respond and took care of my dog Gia like it was one of her own! She’s very flexible and reliable, and I felt very reassured having her watch my dog while I was out of town. I highly recommend her services.”
10. Brandi R.
“Brandi and her family have been wonderful especially for our dog, Joji. She makes sure to feed him to a T when it comes to his food. She’s absolutely caring and understands dogs needs as she has a few of her own. Whenever Brandi gets a chance she will send updated photos of our dog. We find it extremely heartwarming and comfortable to know our dog is in good hands of Brandi. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Both dogs looked super happy and chill in every picture, and they were totally at ease when we got home. Highly recommend Kevin if you want someone who treats your pets like their own!”
15. Lindsay R.
About: I am a Napa native and have lived in Saint Helena for over seven years. I’ve been doing pet care on rover for the past 2 years. I have experience administering oral medications, caring for sick pets, and overall just loving on your animals. I pride myself on being reliable, timely and very detail oriented. I’m currently working a flexible schedule and would have more then enough time to walk and care for your pets. My schedule is always up to date with my availability. I care for pets like they are my own. I have two cats that sleep with me and I consider them a part of the family. I’d care for someone else’s pets like I do my own.
16. Roxanne A.
About: I've been caring for animals all my life, and truly enjoy it. In my early years, I lived on a farm with horses, pigs, bunnies, etc. In my 20 I was a dog groomer, and had a little side business house sitting and dog waking. I had a friend pay me a nice compliment when she met my new pup. She said Dakota your going to have a good life with Roxanne. Nice to know people recognize my affection for animals. I am familiar with older dogs and needs they may have. I can take you dog to the vet if needed. I can give meds. Hiking and swimming are my favorite things to do with dogs. I'm never alone with a dog by my side
17. Hillary W.
“I highly recommend Hillary for anyone in need of a trusted pet sitter! She took excellent care of my dog while I was away, providing daily updates and pictures that put my mind at ease. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She went above and beyond in ensuring my home was safe and tidy. Her attention to detail and loving nature made the experience truly stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—she’s a gem! If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, look no further. I would definitely hire her again!”
18. Sereen S.
“Sereen took excellent care of our dog, Fergus. On his first visit he stayed for 8 nights and had lots of fun with her and her dog, Noah. Sereen sent daily photos and videos and Fergus was relaxed when I picked him up. I know he enjoyed his vacation with her. She walked him and played with him and welcomed him like a family member. To top it off, she was so kind and understanding when our flight was delayed and we arrived several hours later than planned. We reached out with a message and she responded right away assuring us that it would be ok. I’m looking forward to our next trip and will definitely book with Sereen again!”
19. Koryn C.
“Koryn did such an amazinggg job watching Romina. This is my first time leaving my dog with someone ever she made the process very smooth and was very reassuring. She updated us with pictures and videos regularly showing Romina having a great time. Overall highly recommend her and her services 🤗. Got Romina back healthy and happy with the bonus of a goodbye treat.”
20. Casey B.
“Michael and his wife Kacy (sp?) took good care of our pup and allowed us to board her together with our kitty, her brother, to alleviate the stress of leaving them for the first time in their young lives. Michael was very responsive to calls and texts, and made it easy. We were able to have them boarded in Calistoga while we vacationed there for the weekend. I will definitely call them again!”
