“Karyna is everything you want and more! Such a sweet and friendly person. She is super engaging with my dog, great communication, thoughtful, punctual…i could go on and on. I will 100% be calling in her again!”
“Aimee is amazing! She helped us out one night a week for four months and we absolutely depended on her. She is reliable, responsive and can see what needs doing and get it done. I could not recommend her highly enough!”
About: Cat care as needed. I have many years experience. I have owned cats most of my life and volunteered at agencies. Recently, I have also cared for bunnies. The bunnies were wonderful and I enjoyed caring for them so will add this to my profile. Your consideration is welcomed. I am recently retired, so have the capacity and time to care for your fur babies. I am very detailed, reliable and organized which I feel makes me highly dependable. I would be available all hours/days. I would be able to come to your home at the times and days needed. I may have soon a room available in my house for a overnights if needed.
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“This was the first time hiring a service to care for our cat. Ron was outstanding. He was able to adjust his schedule to accommodate caring for our cat “Kuma” while we are out of the country. His easy going and caring personality is very evident. We enjoyed his daily reports and photos and felt very at ease that he was caring for Kuma. We highly recommend him and the Rover service to care for your pet while you are away. Ron will be our first choice in caring for Kuma in the future. Thank you , thank you , thank you.”
About: Understanding this is your first baby I will care for them with so much love and care. I have integrity, am responsible for your family member. I work part-time so I will have the flexibility to care for your pet and am available on the weekends. On my shorter days I can do potty check ins as well. I have a fenced in backyard and love going on walks or or just hang out inside. I can adapt to any special requests to stick with ones already set in routines.
About: In Chile I grew up in the countryside always surrounded by many animals. I started taking care of friends and family's pets since I was 10 years old. Currently in Chile I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and I miss them a lot, so I would love to take care of pets while I am in California. On weekdays I work in a winery, so I am available to care for your pet from Monday to Friday from 5 pm and full availability on weekends. I live in a house that has a large patio with space available to play and completely closed, pets can have access to the interior of the house.
“Robin is so great with my crew of kitties, tending to their needs and keeping an eye on the house. She even seems to understand their personalities and what each of them needs. I felt so reassured having Robin there to care for them.”
“Kalei provided our nearly eighteen year old cat Milo (and equally old goldfish) with twice daily visits for two weeks, feeding and providing much appreciated brushing and loving attention to Milo. She even managed an ant invasion calmly and professionally. We were able to focus on our travels knowing by way of Kalei's regular updates and photos, that all was in good hands at home.”
About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life, but I've recently moved out of my parents house as I'm pursuing my undergraduate degree at UC Davis. My dogs have moved to Italy, and I miss them a lot. Also, I am also looking to earn some money to put towards my education and my future. So, taking care of your pets is a win-win! I have years of experience raising puppies, spending time with feisty kittens, taking care of senior dogs, and playing with pets of all activity levels—from mellow to boundless energy. My approach to pets is to meet them where they are at by understanding their behavioral cues. Each pet has a different personality that comes with unique physical and emotional needs, and I will prioritize understanding and addressing those. I will make sure your pet feels respected and comfortable in my care. Also, your trust in me is of utmost importance. I know that it takes a lot to have someone you don't know well look after your pet. I will prioritize communication, sending photos and updates, so you have peace of mind! I appreciate your trust! I have finished school, and I am currently on summer break! I have a very open schedule, so I can care for your pet any day of the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors daily and staying active, so I am also available for dog walks. I know many dog-walking spots around Sonoma County because I grew up here with dogs I walked regularly, including fenced-in runs, short walks, or big open spaces, depending on your dog's needs. I have a fenced-in back and front patio, and I can crate your pet as well. I do not have any pets in my home at this time. I can take your pet outside to a beautiful open-space walk being just a step outside. If your pet enjoys a swim, I am a short drive from the Glen Ellen reservoir, and I would be happy to take him or her there! I am also prepared to take care of pets with high activity levels who need daily runs in open space.
“Patrica is great. She was professional, pleasant and respectful. Most importantly, she quickly established a good rapport with my dogs. We look forward to working with her in the future”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my dedication to their happiness and well-being. I bring 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies, cats, to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m skilled at reading animals’ body language, adapting to their unique needs, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for them. Whether it’s administering medication, working on basic training, or simply providing plenty of belly rubs and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Your furry companion will always be in loving, capable hands with me! In addition to years of experience with pets of all ages, I specialize in providing soothing pet massages that help reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup, a senior in need of extra care, or simply enjoys a calming touch, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. I'm currently unemployed and have the time to look for a full-time job and give your pets the loving care they need on-site or for drop-ins as needed. I can take care of your pet(s) at your home or drop in and take them for walks, feed them, and give them all the love they need.
About: Hello! My name is Kaylah, I am a 29 y/o nursing student and dog mom! I grew up around animals my whole life but I’ve been a dog owner for about 5.5 years. She’s a very old chihuahua named Miss Piggy. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need medications and some extra love and care ❤️ I’m a college student and work 3 days a week, Wednesday Thursday, and Sunday . My classes are online which gives me lots of flexibility. My shifts are 3-10pm. My home is on a large gated property. Lots of running space and a big yard. I treat every pet as if they were my own! My house is pet free and I have lots of time to hang out with them and make sure they’re entertained. On my property my grandparents live in a separate house and they have a dog, a 3 year old golden doodle. She is great with other dogs but it is very easy to keep her separate from other animals!
“Sophie was a cat sitter and house sitter for us, and I can't think of any area in which she did not prove to be excellent! She was pleasant and professional, her communications were good, she gave us daily updates on how our pet was doing, including cool pictures, and she left the house in better condition than she found it. We absolutely intend to use her again and would give her six stars if the rating system went that high!”
“Cathleen looked after our cat and home for a week and was wonderful! The house was spotless when we came back and the anxious cat was happy as could be. She went above and beyond to fix a burst irrigation pipe in our neighbor's yard (who were also out of town).”

She has extensive knowledge and experience with cat care including nurturing, nutrition, psychology, of kitties, young, adult and senior cats. She has experience with pilling and administering subQ fluids if needed. Shelly recently retired and is able to devote some time to provide pet sitting and care for others. She has a passion for care of animals and quickly bonds with animals. In addition, she is very responsible, will take care of your pets and home as if it were her own, and will ensure she understands the needs of the pets and owners and communicates effectively. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting activities.”

Kaylah G.
“Kaylah is my go-to dog sitter for my 5 year old, 70 lb lab mix, Toby! She has cared for him whenever I go out of town for basically his whole life. Kaylah is literally Toby’s favorite person besides me! I’ve always appreciated how she treats Toby like he’s her own dog, and not only meets his basic needs with ease- but goes above and beyond with giving him the same love and affection that I would give him. She’s also very well educated on dogs and their needs, so I trust her wholeheartedly when I leave Toby in her care. Overall, Kaylah is truly a dog lover in every sense!”
