“Highly recommend Angela! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and immediately made our anxious dog feel comfortable and safe. She took him on multiple walks and sent regular photo updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Angela is a fantastic sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”

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.
“Victoria was wonderful to work with. She took great care of my dogs and house while I was on vacation. She communicated often, sent pictures and fulfilled the needs of my dogs. She’s warm and lovely and I plan on using her again in the future.”
“Yasmin is the only person I trust to watch Jet! It’s so nice to go on vacation and be at peace knowing my baby is in the best hands. She really is one of the best and most trustworthy people. If you ever need someone to care for your baby, Yasmin is your girl!”

“Katie is a true “dog person”. She was unfazed by our boxers’ exuberant greetings and quickly developed a rapport with them. Her communication and attention to care is outstanding. Our dogs were very relaxed and happy when we returned.”

“Logan was amazing! We had a last minute trip over thanksgiving and he had availability. He came over for a meet and greet and our two dogs automatically adored him. While we were gone he kept us up to date on the doggos. But when I really knew we would be using him again was when we returned. First, our dogs cried at the door for 20 minutes after he left. They have never done that for another dog sitter. Second, often when we come back from a trip it takes the dogs a couple days to readjust to our normal routine. Not this time! It was obvious that Logan had followed their daily routine to the letter. He’s professional and caring and I will be using him again! You can trust him with your fur babies!”
“Susan did a great job with my rescue Earl who has some anxiety issues. She was able to come over a few times before staying and let him get to know her and he loved her! She was very considerate, caring and I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. Earl was spoiled with lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thanks Susan!”

About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in the past, when I lived in Australia, and in Napa, I am trusted by all of my friends and family to take care of their pets and home while they are away. I have been doing so much housesitting recently, I decided to offer my services to others again! I love animals and am always that person that can't walk past a cat or dog without saying hello and giving them a pat. I am a winemaker and notary on the side, so I have had regular background checks and am a respectful and responsible person. I live by the moto of "leave the place better than you found it" and am very cautious and mindful to leave your home in perfect condition, so you can return home with no problems and no cleaning to worry about! I work full-time and am generally at work by 7:30am and am home by 4pm. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends to get work done and tend to walk with friends to get exercise or go to the local farmers markets. Give me a list of instructions that you would like done and I will fulfill all of your expectations! I work during the day, so I will not be able to stop by during the day in most cases (between 7:30am-4:30pm), but I will free for walks before and/or after work and anything else that needs to be done.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.
“Gina is awesome! She watched our dogs and house while we were away on a new years trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing her from the Rover app. Updates, communication, and peace of mind were all on point. Coming home to two very happy dogs, and a nicely taken care of house was the best way to end our 5 days away. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I've fostered dogs in my home and cared for dogs and cats in other people's homes and am excited to do more of both! I got into housesitting several months ago and love getting to spend focused time and attention on animals while their people are away. While fostering dogs, I worked on light training - improving walking manners, comfort with strangers, and basic commands. I cared for my dogs for a few weeks to several months until they were adopted and loved getting updates from their new families about their progress. I make time for your animals as they need it! I work part time, which allows plenty of time for walks, playing fetch, cuddle sessions, and on-time meals. If temperament allows, I’ll take your pup with me to dog-friendly spots in town and along longer walking paths and trails. I'm new to California and settling in the area. I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods, meet cool people, and spend time with your furry friends. If I’m staying in your home, I’m in your best friends’ space. Whatever they’re used to, is what they’ll get, whether that’s permission (or not) to get on furniture, sleep with me in bed, and set our walking schedule.
About: I love cats of all shapes and sizes, and they seem to like me back! I was the go-to pet sitter for friends who traveled often. My schedule is flexible! I am willing to devote a lot of time to your cat(s) on weekdays. I am open to pet sitting on weekends as well! I like to keep a constant eye on all cats under my care. PET-CAMS WELCOME! Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! I maintain a respectful distance until rapport has been established. I take lots of pictures!
“Katie stepped in super last minute after our other sitter cancelled and saved the day! She was communicative, smart, kind, and took excellent care of Bear. Katie followed directions, sent great photos, and I could tell she really cared for our little guy. We would love to have her house sit for us again. I would Very highly recommend her!”


About: I have a long history caring for various animals, from farm to domestic. I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience.

“Andrea did a great job caring for our dog and house while we were away! She was responsive, sent many updates and pictures throughout the day, and I came home to a happy dog. We would happily book with her again. Thank you Andrea!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sonoma Vista
Angela is a terrific sitter- very chill and experienced with dogs, good communicator, punctual, took good care of the house and was overall considerate. She followed care instructions well. Our boxers took to her immediately and they were soon playing with her in the yard and hanging out on the sofa. Great experience!

They are the best! Our dog loves them and their care of him was outstanding. If I were a dog I’d want them to babysit me!!!! Sam and Tyler made Oliver very happy and healthy, our home is immaculate so the whole family is happy. Until next time, thank you Tyler and Sam!

Stephanie was amazing with our mini poodle Waffles! She took the time to come meet him and learn about him before staying over at our house with him. She followed his care and feeding instructions perfectly, and we came back to a happy dog! We would definitely use Stephanie again.

Cathleen was excellent working with our dog Marley. Marley wasn’t quite prepared to have someone take care of her while we were away and Cathleen was incredible at being patient and caring for her needs. She went above and beyond by texting, communicating and sending us photos. We will definitely use Cathleen again as we feel Marley has made her part of our family.

We feel so fortunate to have found Gillian (Gigi)! She had a difficult task with her stay at our house, and his name is Kitty (the elderly pug). He not only requires extra work in the daytime, but can be a huge challenge at night by not sleeping (howling) in the night. We cannot express our gratitude for her care and patience with this guy. He is over 17 years old, and suffering from cognitive decline and nerve issues (back end failures). We typically travel with him knowing the level of work he can be, but this trip was due to a death in the family and we had to fly (and he cannot fly with us). She stuck with him, kept trying things to help him be comfortable, and we greatly appreciate her. Not easy if sleep deprived! We have two others - dog and cat - who were hopefully easier and more entertaining for Gigi! (oh and a duck) We felt nothing but total confidence in having them in her care, and in our home. She was not just a wonderful caretaker for our fur babies, but a lovely houseguest, too. That made an extra huge difference since our trip was due to a death in the family - we could go and be focused on that. We were updated throughout the day and with photos and videos and loved having that communication. If she is ever willing to take us on again, we will definitely be seeking her services. Give her a try - you will love her and your fur baby will too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,061 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sonoma Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sonoma Vista walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sonoma Vista maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sonoma Vista choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
