About: I am a ex-corporate zombie that has embraced my love of nature and animals. I have owned dogs my entire life and have volunteered at several rescues and training facilities. I am conscientious, loving and go above and beyond. I live in a great area with an abundance of amazing outdoor adventures or a lazy stroll down the walking paths. If your pooch is adventurous, let's go on a hike. A dog vacation wouldn't be complete without playing ball, hiking, trail running, I can accommodate any level of adventure. One-on-one service is my priority, as piece of mind should be yours. Cats: I love cats and offer cat house sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm to visit your kitty while you're away. I currently work from home and will accommodate what schedule your pet currently has. There will be times that I will need to leave, but it will be a short time out of the house. I always but collar/harness and leash on before exiting the house. Having a set of guidelines from the owner is helpful, every dog is different on what they enjoy on a walk.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I stick to their feeding schedule and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I also love running, so if a dog is up for it, I’ll happily take them on a jog with me. I build my days around the pets I care for. I usually set aside specific blocks for walks, feeding, and playtime so nothing gets missed. It actually helps me stay structured and active throughout the week. I provide all pet care at the client’s home, never at mine. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment.

About: Hi, my name is Mollie! Growing up with a household of rescue animals taught me the joys of pet care, and I understand the patience and love some furrever friends need to feel safe. I've been caring for pets of my own and others for 2+ decades. Rest assured, I have a wealth of love for animals of all shapes and sizes, regardless of their needs. I currently have a 10 yr old mini aussie named Olive, she's my sidekick and we do everything together! I rescued her as a puppy and had the opportunity to train her from infancy. She is a ball of fun and happy to tag along on visits if you feel your pet could use some socializing or a little help with training (our puppy clients love to learn by olive’s example, and senior clients find she’s a fantastic snuggle partner). I guarantee safety and security for pets of all sizes, and Olive and I are accommodating to any regimen/schedule your furry friend might be accustomed to. I just moved from LA to Napa and I’m in the process of pivoting careers so while I’m between full time jobs, I have extra time to spend with your furry friend! For extended stays, I request that my sidekick, Olive, tags along. Olive is an excellent companion and loves animals, people, and fuzzy toys (she hugs them like a friend) ! She can snuggle with your senior, run/play with your puppy, she even leads by example and can be helpful to some clients who are in training with their pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,646 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sonoma Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Sonoma Vista. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sonoma Vista after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
