“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”
“Andrea takes such good care of our dogs and our place- just got back from three nights away, received regular updates and photos and came home to relaxed dogs and the place looking great. Thank you Andrea, so much!”
“Gina was wonderful with our new puppy for a weekend home stay. She was courteous, professional, and provided multiple updates. Very thoughtful and treated our house with respect. We can’t wait to book Gina again!”
“Blake was incredible. She is friendly and made fast friends with my fur babies. They absolutely loved her! Even the cat! She was so responsive and really put my mind at ease. We’re in the middle of a move and had to go out of town at the same time. I have complete trust I. Her and was so impressed with how she took everything in stride and asked all the right questions. I will definitely continue to use her. Outstanding service.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Sofia stayed in our house and watched our two pups and cat over the weekend. She was quick to reply and left the house just as we had left it. Already have her booked for our next vacation!”
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“This was my first time using a dog sitter through Rover, and I was very happy with Joshua. He was very responsive, sending pictures and keeping me updated on how the dogs were doing. I highly recommend and will definitely use him again.”
About: Hi, I’m Bernadette! Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done my entire life—it's something I love. I’m a former pet shop owner and have been a professional pet sitter for over 30 years. I’ve cared for just about every kind of pet (from horses to mice), but dogs have always been my faves. I offer: 🐾 Little Dog daycare in my home 🐾 Little Dog Overnight Boarding in my home 🐾 Drop-in visits to your home within Graton for dogs, cats, and other pets 🐾 Occasionally I'm available to house sit when I don't have any boarders booked My home is conveniently located near the Graton town center, serving West Sonoma County, CA. A Cozy, Calm Environment for Small Dogs: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs), with occasional exceptions. Senior dogs very are welcome! Your friendly, quiet little companion will enjoy spending time with my two sweet senior dogs in a peaceful home setting. Because I live in close proximity to neighbors, I’m not able to accept frequent barkers. Comfort & Safety First: Dogs have access to a secure, fenced yard for fresh air and exercise. I let dogs out at least every couple of hours during the day. I supervise outdoor time carefully. Overnight rates cover a full 24-hour period. Since I work from home, I’m almost always around—which means your dog receives consistent supervision, attention, and care. I’m happy to accommodate most special needs with advance discussion. (Sadly, due to my new living situation, I can no longer take puppies unless they are very calm, reliably house trained, and able to wear a diaper or relax in a crate when in the house.) IMPORTANT: To help visiting pups settle in, I require dogs to wear a diaper initially, until I’m confident they’re reliably house-trained (new environments can trigger marking behaviors, especially in males). If your dog eats raw food, please provide it pre-portioned into individual meals (I'm vegan and prefer not to handle raw meat). Bringing their own bed is highly recommended to help them feel secure and comfortable. The only other things they need are a leash and food. Most dogs relax and settle in within a few hours—and they receive plenty of love. If you’re looking for a calm, attentive, experienced home environment for your small dog, I’d love to meet you both! 🐶 NOTE: Mr. Q, my blue and gold macaw, prefers dogs who don't try to eat him! I work from home, so I'm almost always around to interact with your pets. Most dogs love coming here and can't wait to get in the front door! Little dogs enjoy hanging out in my quiet home and fenced yard with my two mellow old pups. Even most dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax and have fun. It's like a doggie play date!
“Annalisa is a warm, responsible, reliable sitter who provided excellent care for our home and dog. We felt totally comfortable leaving Daisy in her care, and Daisy became so fond of her that she hated to see her go. We would certainly hire Annalisa again, and we highly recommend her to others in West Sonoma.”
“We absolutely adore Micki! She loves our pups as much as we do and understands them even more! Our newest rescue is super anxious and needs a bit more TLC and she delivers! My husband’s truck had some mechanical problems today and was running late and she was flexible enough to not leave them alone. THANK YOU!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“Toni did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our pup while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and sent detailed, thoughtful updates that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly felt the whole time that our pup was safe, loved, and in very capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless apartment, everything looked amazing. We’re so grateful for her care and attention and would gladly work with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you Sebastian for your care of Dora and Scout! They were in great spirits when we returned. Thank you also for leaving the home tidy with poop and dog hair cleaned up. We appreciate you taking such good care of our pups and the house. We will definitely use you again!”

My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was acting like "Welcome back, where's Roisin?" Roisin sent lots of pictures, kept in good communication, took my dog on hikes and walks that we can no longer do. My dog was thrilled and so were we. Roisin stayed over a couple of nights and you'd never know anyone had been here...except for the happy dog. We will definitely asked her back again.
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Robyn was a fantastic dog and housesitter! She was extremely communicative and responsible, and took great care of our two dogs while we were away for Thanksgiving. I felt very comfortable leaving the pups with her and she left the house super clean. I would love to book her again in the future! Highly recommend.
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.
While planning an overseas trip, our biggest concern was about our crew, 3 cats and 2 dogs. In fact, we had a bad experience a few years ago when our dogs boarded at someone's home so you might say our concern was justified. But those worries melted away when we first met Betsy. She quickly bonded with our pups and even two of our cats who always hide around strangers became Betsy's buddies within a few days. Betsy took great care of the crew, keeping us updated and sending multiple pictures. And even when there was a small hiccup along the way, we appreciated the fact that she was honest about it. She also took good care of our home and I can't recommend her enough.
Lindsay was an absolute blessing. She arrived on time and took great care of my animals. Her attention to our home and animals made our vacation away very relaxed. She also sent constant updates and photos during our time away which we very much appreciated. Highly recommend her!
