“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!”
About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I really enjoy being around and caring for dogs. Most of my experience has been caring for small dogs and those in the later years of their life. My calm demeanor works well with dogs who may be nervous around new people. Until recently, I also volunteered at an adoption center where I helped to care for dogs looking for a new home. I currently don’t work a conventional job due to personal limitations so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. Taking care of your pet would bring lots of joy to my day. I am an attentive and affectionate pet care taker. I will respect your space and any parameters set around taking care of your furry family.
“Looked after my 17 y/o kitty!! Very detailed and easy communication between us! She did a great job and I'm very relieved to have finally met someone in town that has that cat person kind of common sense.”
About: I have had cats my whole life and I love their quirky nature. Recently got my own dog after loving other people’s dogs for years, she just turned three and is pretty well trained and fun to play with. Now I’m branching out to care for and play with your pets so you can get stuff done and have fun. I love them all, hamsters, birds, you name it. I will boop! Right now, I’m available for your pets on weekday evenings and most Saturdays. I’m here for you! Can do. Will enjoy the experience so much. Very excited to have new animal friends to play with. I do have a fenced yard and one large dog, two cats. Mostly I am ready to come to your place for pet care, or take them out on walks as you prefer. I am here for you.
“Thank you so much, Aimee for your care and engagement with Grey! We appreciate how you keep us updated on her behavior and the pictures that show us how she’s engaged with you in your visits…, again, thank you for all you do—we appreciate you!”
“Cathleen was a caring loving caregiver for my cat Shi Shi. I felt comfortable leaving her which was hard to do with fires starting everywhere. She came daily, brushed her, fed her, played with her and took beautiful photos. .”
“Thank you Julianna! We returned home from our trip, and our it was obvious our pets were well cared for. It is a comforting feeling to know that I have Julianna and Rover there for me when I need to be away from home.”
“Victoria was super attentive and a great communicator. We just needed a quick drop in for our cat this time, but we would definitely love to have Victoria take care of Johnny again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but I’ve had experience taking care of dogs on a dairy farm which got a little rowdy at times. I’m currently starting a job that will hopefully be full-time But might be a little shaky for a couple months so I’ll have a lot of free time to walk your dogs! I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly for your puppy dog to play with. And if they just need a walk I will make sure that that puppy will have the best sleep after.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past 6 years! Anywhere from as little as chihuahuas and multipoos to golden retrievers and husky's! I have a dog of my own who is a golden retriever that I see as my child. ** I can sit dogs that are not neutered or spayed. However, I will not take in both at the same time. Therefore, if I’m already sitting a dog that is not spayed, I won’t be able to take in a dog that is not neutered on those days and vice versa! I work part time but my work schedule is all over the place. I can usually be very flexible especially if I’m working night shifts Your pets will always be taken care of with me :) I have a spacious backyard that has a fence, of course! I also have a wonderful neighbor for walks and a dog park that is walking distance
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sonoma is $28
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sonoma
Victoria was truly wonderful to engage and work with. She made it super easy to make the reservation, sort out the details on the Rover app and truly was warm and engaging with our pup, and us! She also made the transition as we left our pet easy and seamless. She gave us regular updates and kept us posted on all details for her departure. Wonderful! Highly recommend!
Gabriel has been great with my lab! He makes sure she gets some outdoor time before she does her favorite thing which is eating 😂 It’s so nice to get his updates with pictures. I really appreciate his availability for my random schedule. My dog and I are both very thankful to have him, thanks Gabriel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sonoma on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,491 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sonoma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sonoma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sonoma. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
