“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.”
“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. .”
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.
“When Nicoletta is taking care of my animals I don’t worry. She is capable, dependable and really loves animals. She sends pics and gives updates and puts my mind at ease!”
“We are so lucky to have found Olivia to take care of our cat! Olivia would send us detailed updates each day and she took great photos too! She even helped cleaned our home at the end. Would definitely ask for Olivia again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Ariel went above and beyond for me and my cat, Mister. Ariel was a great communicator, tried to coax my shy guy out but didn't force him, and kept his food and water fresh. On top of that, she did the cat dishes (rather than leave them for my return, which would have been fine) and took my trash out. I really appreciate Ariel and will book her in the future!”
“Mariah was great! She stopped in to feed and check on my two cats over a long weekend. She was communicative and helpful with bringing in some packages that were left while I was gone. One of my boys was a little shy but the other came out and made friends pretty quickly. This was the first time using a sitter from Rover and I'm super impressed with how easy she made it.”
“Cora Leigh got my very shy cat to come out from under the bed and be petted! I think she very well BE the cat whisperer! I’m almost afraid to write this because she’ll become so in-demand that JJ and I will not be able to book her again. She’s fabulous!”
“Maicie has been incredible with our two pups. Both are medically complex, and she’s taken the time to allow them to get to know her on their own terms. She’s kind, responsive, punctual, and has been so helpful to us as we worried so much about leaving them all day while we are at work. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind hearted and patient dog sitter. Thank you, Maicie!”
“Kaitlyn was great with our two kitties! She was a great communicator and brought up any questions or concerns quickly as needed for our cats greatest wellbeing. She sent adorable photos of our happy cats while we were traveling, as we missed them dearly!”
“Gina was a gem! My cats enjoyed her presence and she made sure to engage and play with them. Followed all specifications and very communicative. Thank you Gina so much for taking care of my fur babies with the same love you’d show your own.”
“Channing is a wonderful communicator and took such great care of Max and Gloria! I felt very comfortable being away from home for such a long time knowing she was taking care of them. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Samiah did a wonderful job taking care of Snow. She was very attentive, reliable, and kept us updated during our time away. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a clean home, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re very thankful for all her help and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💕”

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 7,502 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
