“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my baby, Bella. They sent me updates with pictures of her to help me feel better, as it was the first time I left her. She's a newly adopted dog. Lauren reassured me that Bella would be ok. She was! I highly recommend Lauren to watch your four legged baby.n”
“David was very easy to work with and responded quickly to our questions/ concerns. Our dogs had access to a few enclosed acres on the property which was great for the dogs...a beautiful setting as well. Our 3 dogs got along well with David's dogs and another visiting dog. Most important, I felt our dogs were in good hands with David.”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
“We are so grateful that Bernadette takes such good care of our little Skippy. Gives us such piece of mind to be gone, knowing that he has a friendly and caring place to stay.”
About: As full-time work from home professionals, we offer consistent, all-day presence and attentive companionship for pets at every stage of life. Our single-story home is thoughtfully arranged for safety and low-impact mobility with pet ramps set up throughout, making it an ideal, stress-free environment for dogs with back, joint, or mobility sensitivities. Drawing on years of experience with senior and hospice care, we are completely comfortable and proficient with oral medications, eye/ear drops, supplements, and time-sensitive daily health routines. Whether your dog thrives on active play or simply wants a quiet spot in the sun next to a desk, we maintain a calm, flexible routine tailored entirely to your pet's needs. I work from home, so I typically have wide availability for furry friends to come visit. I can't think of anything better than having a dog with us as we work from home. Patience and good vibes abound in our home, as we've spent the past several years caring for two older dogs. Ramps on stairs and couches/beds for dogs with back, joint or mobility issues..
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. My first was Jackson, a 150-pound Alaskan Malamute who knocked me over daily, so big, strong, high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. Today I have three of my own, all friendly, loving, and good with other dogs, including Baxter, a 9-year-old who takes daily medication. Senior dog care and keeping to a medication schedule are part of my routine. I’m also a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and certified EMT. I’ve worked alongside military working dogs in Afghanistan, and I’ve administered IVs and handled emergencies under pressure. If your dog gets hurt or sick, I stay calm, act fast, and get them to a vet right away. Outside Rover, I regularly care for a lab puppy and a senior Shih Tzu on seizure medication, so I’m comfortable with puppy energy and with seniors who need extra attention and exact medication timing. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and an honest report on how your dog did. I treat every dog like family. I’m home all day, so your dog is never alone for long. Days include a morning walk, midday play and potty breaks, an afternoon walk, and plenty of downtime with me on the couch. Being here all day means I catch small changes fast, like a skipped meal or restlessness. I give my own senior dog his medication on schedule daily, so exact timing is routine. It’s a great fit for active dogs, puppies, and seniors who do best with company. I do a calm meet-and-greet first, so every dog is comfortable before a stay. At my place (boarding and day care): Your dog gets the run of a cozy, happy house with my three friendly pups, and we start with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels at home. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same food, same schedule, same medications. The backyard has a good-sized grass patch and a tall wooden fence, perfect for running, sniffing, and soaking up the sun. I love setting up sniff drills and treat puzzles for a happy, tired pup, and two parks within three blocks make walks easy and fun. At your place (drop-ins and walks): I follow your dog’s routine for meals, water, potty breaks, a walk, and plenty of play. Either way: You’ll get photos and a quick rundown of how your dog’s day went. I’m situationally aware and if anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away and get your dog to a vet if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety come first.
“Gabriel & Laura we’ were amazing care giver for my two dogs. They went above and beyond in caring for my dogs, and they also sent adorable pictures that assured me my dogs were doing great!”
“Emily and family took amazing care of our dog Chloe when we were out of town. From our meet and greet, Emily asked a lot of very good questions like what habits we allowed and did not allow, what kinds of updates we needed, whether we allowed her to wear her harness when not on a leash, etc. Emily seemed to have a strong background in training young dogs. Their dog Chaka seemed to play with Chloe all day and tired her out. Chloe went home very tired and very happy. While we were stressed about packing and forgot our mini white noise machine, Emily offered to lend us hers. We received frequent photo updates, and Chloe was always very happy in the photos. We would definitely recommend Emily and family took take care of your dogs.”
About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.
“Crystal was great! She took wonderful care of my golden retriever, Shawn. She sent cute pictures and updates daily! After playing with her dog Rosie and a couple other dogs she was watching, Shawn came back a happy sleepy boy! Thank you for taking such good care of my furry buddy!”
“Leslie is a wonderful person who took great care of our two dachsunds. She is also an amazing chef - We will definitely work with her again soon and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We had a death in the family while we were on vacation in the Central Coast. We needed to find a dog sitter for our dog when we travelled north to the Bay Area for the memorial service. With extremely short notice--and without ever meeting us or our dog-- Robert and Sheila agreed to watch our Zoey while we attended the funeral. Robert was so kind and compassionate. They have a lovely home, a safe and warm environment for any dog. Above all else, they are caring, generous caregivers and deserve the highest praise. They extended themselves to accommodate our unexpected need for a sitter and we really appreciated their kindness.”

I always keep your pet safe and treat them as if they were my own
“Heather is amazing! Daisy had a great time and came back with no anxiety from being away from us or from her home. We will use Heather from now on. When we first met with Heather she was very concerned about making sure that Daisy fit in well with all the other dogs. She has a specific routine of where you drop off and pick up (different door) to keep the feels of the dog consistent - this is where i go to visit Heather, this is where i go when mommy and daddy pick me up. Also, she sent us cute video's and pictures of Daisy while we were away - that made us feel very relaxed as well. Thank you Heather and Rover.”
“Regina was amazing with Quinn. She sent us pictures almost every day, let us know how she was doing, and the friends she made with other dogs. Upon meeting her and Kyle, you can tell right away how wonderful they are and how much they love the dogs they take care of. I could not have been happier to have found her and will definitely be using her again whenever I need someone to take care of Quinn. I felt I could trust them with Quinn, and I was right. Thank you, Regina and Kyle. I highly recommend them if you need someone to love your dog when you are away.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“Roxy had a grand time— we know this because of all the videos Debby shared each day and because Roxy at first refused to leave when we picked her up. Outstanding dog person in every way!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since March 2021, and he’s very much part of my family. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and getting to know their different personalities. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing, hanging out, and just having a dog around while I go about my day. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little details and will make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and patience I’d want someone to give Simba. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet your pup and hopefully become someone they’re excited to see! I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am around the house throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, take them for walks, and keep them company rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I already have a regular routine with my own dog, Simba, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll be caring for pets in my home, where I have a fenced yard that gives dogs a safe place to get outside, play, and explore. I’m home full-time, so pets will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since 2021 and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m very attentive to their behavior and individual needs, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, food, and making sure they’re comfortable in a new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend rather than being somewhere unfamiliar. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.
“Michael and Casey juggled their calendar so we could go to Hawaii and took great care of Lacey as well. Lacey was happy playing in the back yard with the other dogs, as well as taking daily walks. Additionally, I got lots of photos and news regularly. Michael and Casey will be caring for Lacey for our next trip as well—already booked!”

We couldn’t be happier with Kate! From the very beginning, she was incredibly caring, attentive, and trustworthy. It was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. Our Ellie was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kate’s communication was wonderful, and her thoughtful updates and photos made being away so much easier. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and that says everything! We highly recommend Kate and feel so grateful that she took such wonderful care of our Ellie. We look forward to having her watch her again in the future. Thank you, Kate, for treating our furry family member with so much love and care!
Melissa is wonderful and did a great job with our puppy Magnus when he stayed with her for the long weekend when we had to travel. She was thoughtful and communicative, has a great deal of experience and knowledge about dogs to share, and Magnus took to her immediately and learned from her. We really appreciated being able to leave him with such a wonderful and trustworthy person!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Sebastopol can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sebastopol home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sebastopol.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sebastopol. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sebastopol sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
