“This is the 3rd time Olive has stayed with Lauren and Ben. They are always really flexible when I need to change my plans, send regular updates with pictures, and , most importantly, Olive seems to love staying there. I will definitely book again with them.”
“Ciana and family are wonderful, welcoming, & loving furry friends. I was sent photos of my baby while I was away, this helped me know she was happy and was in good hands. All of my suggestions for care were used to better facilitate a good experience. My baby is blind, deaf and 15 years old, she needs to be watched closely and at all times while active, not an easy animal to board. Ciana food wonderfully, I have already booked another boarding appointment with her. I highly recommend Ciana.”
“Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“I felt completely comfortable knowing that Petey was with Lauren and Kari, and their daughter. They took him on walks, and gave him lots of love. He was excited to see me, but I could tell he didn’t feel abandoned leaving him with new people overnight. In fact, I think he will probably get extremely excited anytime we are somewhere that resembles Napa, hoping to see his new friends again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Tiffany was great! She was very professional, and her experience was evident throughout the entire process, from the first message to final pickup. She also sent us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated.”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Alex and Bri were great! Our dog Casper looked super happy and content in their cozy home. Sent tons of pics and provided timely updates. Would consider using them again as a boarding option.”
“This was the second time my dog Ollie was boarded at Jamies house. It was for two weeks. I received pictures of Ollie and updates on his well being. Jamie has been prompt in responding to my communications. Ollie was obviously happy, well cared for and took his time leaving their house when I picked him up . I will be using Jamie’s service in the future.”
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
“Susan is EXCELLENT!! Highly recommend! She took care of my puppy (12 weeks) and my cat (1 yr) for a week. I received frequent updates and pics on how they were doing. Very easy communication and very flexible. When i returned both my fur babies were so happy!! I could tell they had been lovingly taken care of. Susan is retired and spends all day with the pets. They received so much love and attention. Will definitely use her services again :)”

“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”
“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
About: I really do love every kind of cat! I've had cat companions my entire life, and I feel like sometimes they are so soft and so squishy I just can't even stand it. I wouldn't say my cats are trained exactly, but they do let me give them a bath. And most of the time when I call them they do come so I'm calling that a win. I can give the pills and such when that's required, and I'm happy to work with all cats young and old.
“Robin’s care for our pet was wonderful; she kept us apprised of any changes in her behavior and the updates with pictures kept us connected with our Grey-girl…, thank you Robin—appreciate your professionalism!”
About: I am a full-time, professional pet sitter with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Because this is my dedicated career—not a side job—I’m able to provide attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I understand that pets are family, and I prioritize their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being while you’re away. From energetic dogs who need structure and play to independent or shy cats who need patience and calm consistency, I bring experience, intuition, and heartfelt care to every visit, so you can travel with complete peace of mind. I have had many pets in the past but currently have a Chinese Crested dog (hairless) and a long hair chihuahua. Both are rescues. I am currently available full time to care for your pets in your home. I have done full time and part time pet sitting for several years. At this time, I only do pet care and house sitting in pet owner's home. I am not set up to do pet sitting at my 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!”
“I cannot praise my experience with Gabe enough. He was great with my cats. He played with them, and laughed with them. Since this was the first time leaving them he was considerate to keep me in touch with photos and texts which I so liked and wanted. He left everything neat and clean. Gabe is a great person too. I highly recommend Gabriel and will definitely use his services again.”
“Gina is such a reliable and responsible person who provides excellent care to my cats! She is very communicative and always helps me feel at ease when I travel. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I absolutely love animals! I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid, so I have experience working with multiple cats and dogs at a time. Additionally, I have experience volunteering in a shelter, providing puppy/kitten care and pet socialization. I work from home, so I am available most hours/days to pop in for a visit or to give a walk. I love keeping active and taking dogs on walks. I have a pup at home who enjoys going out a couple times a day and exploring the outdoors. I strive to keep my own pets safe and happy in a loving environment- I will do the same for yours! I have experience giving medication if necessary.
About: I raised my last puppy into a loving, well-behaved dog. Volunteered at shelters in San Luis Obispo, CA when I lived there. I'm high energy, a morning person, and love to hike, run, beach, and move with a furry partner. Very cognizant of limitations on warm days. I also enjoy less active and senior dogs! I have a calm house, no children. One other dog, a one year old lab named Apollo. Your dog WILL enjoy their time with me, and I'll send you super cute pics to prove it! Currently, I'm working remotely while I help my dad with home improvement projects. I do not flake. If we make an agreement, rest assured I will be there. If you need a particular set of days further out, let me know and I can arrange that. We have a large yard and easy access to hikes and parks. I have hardwood floors, so no worries/carpet stains if there is an "accident." I prefer to spend most time outside the house, either getting exercise or at a coffeeshop in the shade. I work remotely, and help my dad with home improvement projects. The house backs up to a trail system, and I take our dog out every morning and afternoon for walks. There is a fenced, grassy space in the yard, as well as a dog park down the street that we frequent. We have a large grassy yard with long leashes if they're hanging outside th fenced area. Inside space is all dog friendly, and we allow ours on the couch. Just let me know if you have limits you'd like enforced for consistency.

“Hillary came to my rescue after someone else cancelled the day before. Came over to meet Lola and go over her eating schedule. When she came over to feed Lola, I got a nice video of Lola greeting her. I would highly recommend Hillary for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Hillary!!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Robin was very nice, from start to end. Found her walking her dog as I was arriving to drop off our dog. She was very caring and sent a few updates and pictures throughout the day. I was very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin for the day, we recommend!”
“Saved my butt when traveling through the region and needed a dog sitter for the day. My Jef was happy and comfortable, and I could tell he had affection for Heather when we left.”
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and possess a special way of relating to dogs. For the last decade, I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog sitting and boarding, while also taking care of my own three dogs. With the large back yard, sunning deck, and kiddie pool, I ensure a fun and relaxing experience for your pups stay. I am skilled in grooming (basic grooming), dog massage, feeding, medication administration, communication (basic-training, recall, etc.), walks, dog park outings, etc. and most importantly, lots of lovin'! I am a musician, property manager, (former massage therapist) who works from home and keeps a daily schedule of caring (feedings, exercise/play/socializing/outings, naps, etc.) for my own and my clients dogs, while keeping up with my creative practices and administrative duties. Dog care is well-integrated into my daily life. After morning feedings, we usually load up into the car and head to the dog park for 1-1.5 hours. Once we return home, the pups generally take a nap for at least 1.5-2.5 hours (allowing me to get some work done and/or to run errands). Once awake, we typically do some playing in the yard and/or training (sometimes involving Charlies Chips Treat - no/low calorie treats). After about an hour or so of play, I shift to preparing dinner for myself and also the dogs, if there are special wet food protocol requests from the owners. After feedings, we spend another hour or so outside before quieting down for the night. I usually play some soft music to settle my own energies down and the dogs seems to really appreciate that too as they tend to fall asleep to it and sleep comfortably throughout the night. I also do a late night potty break at around 10pm, just to avoid accidents throughout the night. Safety is priority to me. My home is set up specifically for their safety and my own. Cleanliness is also an important part of safety and I tend to do that throughout the day (sweep/vacuum, spot-mop, wash bedding, etc.). I have a large fenced in back yard, kiddie pool, lots of toys, and sunning deck for the dogs. The second bedroom has a day bed that the dogs sleep on, as well as multiple dog beds and the couch, if they prefer. I have water bowls in multiple locations throughout the house and backyard. I utilize room dividers at feedings, if necessary, or if I sense a dogs need for space away from the pack.
“Jeremy and Jordan have a great house to host dogs and an amazing yard. Their pets are happy characters and they have a great vibe going. We already booked our next stay. Thank you!”
About: With decades of experience in pet sitting, I’ve developed a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats. Whether it’s a playful pup in need of extra exercise or a shy cat who needs gentle attention, I approach each pet with patience and understanding, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away; as their parent you can trust they’re in good hands. In addition to regular visits and overnight stays, I offer safe and entertaining playdates with my one-year-old mini Goldendoodle puppy. I have experience caring for post - surgical pets; and am well versed in giving medications if needed. Your pets will not only receive personalized care, but they’ll also have the chance to socialize and play during my visits; at your preference. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable care that keeps them happy and healthy; entertained and comforted while their people are away. I HAVE LOTS OF HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY!!! I am working part time in my main career; but my passion is working and caring for animals and being a source of comfort for their owners knowing that their fur baby has companionship and supervision during needed times. I will not be traveling during the holidays this year, so I have lots of availability to help Pet parents take care of their animals this holiday season! At my home, we have 1.5 acres of property, with a fenced in front yard and separate fenced in side yard. I have a 1 year old mini golden doodle & a 3 year old Shit-Poo 😍. So, lots of socializing is available. I also have crates and different spaces available to give your furr baby rest and recharging time and separate eating spaces. When I am in my client’s home; I will do my very best to accommodate their needs, their normal routines etc. I offer multiple times/day visits, dog walking, pet socializing, and housesitting/overnight pet sitting. I’m very flexible and have great communication skills; I will always do my very best to make sure my Furr Clients and their parents are extremely satisfied and confident in me and my services.
“Allyse hosted my dog for doggy day care since she panics when left alone. Itza had good company while I was at work, Allyse took great care of her, providing lunch, potty breaks, and sun bathing time in their fully gated yard. Itza will be back, I highly recommend Allyse!”
“Gabriel was so willing to help Cooper acclimate (he’s a nervous little pup)…to the point of using my puppy sling. So caring. And it was such a relief to get photos through the day on our first day.”
About: Spa Le Chien is specially tailored to your dog's needs while you are away from OR visiting California's Wine Country. I strive to make the experience unforgettable for your precious family member. I have been pampering pooches in my well-appointed modular house, located in a bucolic 55+ senior park in the charming village of Sonoma, for almost fifteen years. As a rule I only care for a single K9 at a time, so I can give it my full, undivided attention. There may occasionally be overlap between clients but rarely more than a single day or night. Safety is my first priority. Cleanliness, exercise, feeding and entertainment are our focus. I tend to work with small, older dogs and have helped elderly and infirm ones, too. But I am open to all types. I consult thoroughly with owners about their requirements before embarking on any regimen. I have never had a dissatisfied client...dogs love it here!
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.
“Lauren and Kari did a great job watching my dog, Waffles! They were very communicative, and he had a fun, active day playing with them and their dog. I would definitely recommend them to watch your pet!”
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.
“Murphy has her second visit with Shayla and Jacob today and we are so grateful for their good care. I feel like she’s in great hands there. My big baby even got to meet a cat for the first time today! Thank you so much, she’s exhausted but seems very content.”

“Karyna was great!! Piper instantly fell in love with her. She was punctual, friendly and you could tell she loves animals. She sent photos and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely ask Karyna to walk Piper again. Thanks Karyna!!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of pet you can think of. I started using Wag a few years ago and fell in love. Each has a specific personality and all are very loving. I have watched my dad’s boxer, my mom’s shitzu, wag customers’ dogs from lab to terrier, a few friends’ cats and most recently began caretaking my own kitten. I have worked with dogs and cats that need to take medication and crate training as well. I am excited to meet your furry friends! I make my own schedule and currently have Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays pretty open. I also can fit in a drop in or quick walk when I am not in meetings! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats while their owner was away. The most important thing to remember is a. Always refer to the owners manual they have given you! And b. Just give them love and keep their routine the same and you’re golden :)
About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
About: Hello! My name is Leo, and I have been in and out of dog-related jobs since I was fifteen years old. I am only twenty years old and a college student; however, my passion for animals (specifically dogs) is what drives me the most, and I would be as committed as necessary to your pet in all cases. I would provide your pet with premium care to the fullest extent! I worked at AlphaDog Lodging (a dog boarding/daycare) for just under two years, followed by a 9-month unpaid intership at Camino Alto Veterinary Clinic. I have also recently been dog-sitting quite a bit, my longest stay being two weeks. My experience in animal care is to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a Veterinarian, and Rover gives me the opportunity to keep working hard for you and your pet! June 23rd - July 26th: Free every day, anytime. July 28th-August 28th: Downtown Santa Cruz, available all day Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. Unfortunately, gone from 9am-4pm on Tues and Thurs (can stop by at noon though). Can do any night, if you are comfortable with your dog being alone for four hours at a time. August 28th-September 23rd: Downtown Santa Cruz, free any day, any time! Santa Cruz: I live in a studio attached to a house with a large front and back yard. Our backyard is fenced in and quite exciting for dogs to explore. We get lots of birds and squirrels, and sometimes a neighbor's cat comes by to visit. I would have your pet stay in my room on a cot, bed, or crate (I only have a cot and a small dog bed here). Kenwood: I live on a large property with my parents, where I could bring your pet home, and they could run forever. Everything is fenced in here; however would prefer bringing a smaller dog home. I am very open to staying in your home as well, for a greater price.
“Robin took such great care of Leo the few times I left him with her! She took him on walks and made sure he was well looked after with her family and their other furry friends and always sent pictures to keep me updated. Thank you Robin! Would definitely recommend your services and book again if needed in the area 🙏”
About: We have a friendly dog, Riggins, who loves to play outside in our large fenced in yard. When she gets tired we have a dog door into our living room with a bed and water and toys! Riggins loves having friends come over and play with her! We can also separate the dogs if they need their alone time. Our yard has shade and sunny areas and has a very large area to run around! The fence is around 6'-0" high. So much room for fun! I work from home so I watch after them all day! Our dog Riggins likes to listen to music and is very social able once she says hello! Would love to meet you and your dog to see if they get along with Riggins our dog! I work from home so I am always around for the dogs. They have free range of the yard and a dog door if they need to come inside. We have gates if they need some alone time as well. We have a fenced in yard with a four year old dog and we have a son who is just about 3 years old and we love having friends over! We have numerous beds and water bowls for everyone to use
“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”
About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.
“It was awesome going away and knowing Peter was in the comfort of his own home with a very caring person. Courtney sent us updates and pictures/videos the entire time. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our girl Islay. She was accommodating with helping Islay put on her little pads for being in heat. She also took pictures and sent us a nice message about how she was doing on the walk. Definitely will have her come again to walk our sweet girl.”

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.
“Amanda was great. I needed a last minute dog walker as I was leaving for a work trip and she was immediately responsive and was able to connect with my neighbor to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using her in the future, as needed, and would highly recommend.”
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.
About: I have decades of experience providing care for my own dogs (my wife and I have three sighthounds currently), and their health and happiness are always my top priority. I am available most days of the week at this time, including weekends. Currently, dog walking is my only gig, so I'm here to help as best I can! I'll provide your pet with exercise appropriate for their age and physical condition. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of dog beds inside the house. Everyone is supervised and chaperoned when they are in our yard.
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 am a positive, flexible, and empathetic person. I love working with animals and over the years have taken care of all types of dogs, cats and even chickens. Since I was 10, I house sat in my home neighborhood with friends and family relying on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. When I was attending university I house sat as a part time job. I made connections via word of mouth with multiple families in my community who trusted me to care for their pets throughout the 4 years I was in school. Most recently I house sat full-time through Rover as I studied for my certification exams. I absolutely love getting to know peoples pets and have a lot of experience doing so. I am confident when it comes to handling strong, energetic and finicky doggo's and I am always up to the challenge of gaining a cats trust. I am currently working as a travel occupational therapist so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can be with the pets more often then not during the week and on weekdays! I love being out in nature and am very comfortable adopting a new home to provide the needed exercise and company for your amazing pets.
About: With decades of experience in pet sitting, I’ve developed a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats. Whether it’s a playful pup in need of extra exercise or a shy cat who needs gentle attention, I approach each pet with patience and understanding, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away; as their parent you can trust they’re in good hands. In addition to regular visits and overnight stays, I offer safe and entertaining playdates with my one-year-old mini Goldendoodle puppy. I have experience caring for post - surgical pets; and am well versed in giving medications if needed. Your pets will not only receive personalized care, but they’ll also have the chance to socialize and play during my visits; at your preference. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable care that keeps them happy and healthy; entertained and comforted while their people are away. I HAVE LOTS OF HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY!!! I am working part time in my main career; but my passion is working and caring for animals and being a source of comfort for their owners knowing that their fur baby has companionship and supervision during needed times. I will not be traveling during the holidays this year, so I have lots of availability to help Pet parents take care of their animals this holiday season! At my home, we have 1.5 acres of property, with a fenced in front yard and separate fenced in side yard. I have a 1 year old mini golden doodle & a 3 year old Shit-Poo 😍. So, lots of socializing is available. I also have crates and different spaces available to give your furr baby rest and recharging time and separate eating spaces. When I am in my client’s home; I will do my very best to accommodate their needs, their normal routines etc. I offer multiple times/day visits, dog walking, pet socializing, and housesitting/overnight pet sitting. I’m very flexible and have great communication skills; I will always do my very best to make sure my Furr Clients and their parents are extremely satisfied and confident in me and my services.

“This is the 3rd time Olive has stayed with Lauren and Ben. They are always really flexible when I need to change my plans, send regular updates with pictures, and , most importantly, Olive seems to love staying there. I will definitely book again with them.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“I felt completely comfortable knowing that Petey was with Lauren and Kari, and their daughter. They took him on walks, and gave him lots of love. He was excited to see me, but I could tell he didn’t feel abandoned leaving him with new people overnight. In fact, I think he will probably get extremely excited anytime we are somewhere that resembles Napa, hoping to see his new friends again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sandy! From the moment she picked Lucy up, I felt completely confident that she was in great hands. Her communication was prompt and friendly, and the regular updates and photos really put my mind at ease. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to find someone as trustworthy and attentive as Sandy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future—thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Tiffany was great! She was very professional, and her experience was evident throughout the entire process, from the first message to final pickup. She also sent us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated.”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
“Susan is EXCELLENT!! Highly recommend! She took care of my puppy (12 weeks) and my cat (1 yr) for a week. I received frequent updates and pics on how they were doing. Very easy communication and very flexible. When i returned both my fur babies were so happy!! I could tell they had been lovingly taken care of. Susan is retired and spends all day with the pets. They received so much love and attention. Will definitely use her services again :)”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“My 18 month old puppy lives alone with me and is not used to being without me. But she enjoys being in Brandi's comfortable home with other doggo friends. This visit, Maya was little anxious when I dropped her off. Brandi called me to ask if it was OK for her to get her a "Puppachino". Brandi sent me photos of how happy Maya was after her treat and then she settled in famously. This was our 4th visit to Brandi's home and the added bonus is ....her family. Her entire family showers Maya and all guests with love and attention. Priceless and much appreciated! I wouldn't leave Maya anywhere else.”
“Tucker always love to go to the farm and hang out with his retriever buddies. Jake and Shayla are great, attentive and professional. He gets so much love there, I feel good about leaving him when I’m away.”
“Sheila was incredibly kind and flexible. Her home was a place filled with a lot of warmth and love! She was always super prompt when replying to me and sent me many photos of my dog while she was staying there. I will 100% book with Sheila again. Thank you!!!”
“Angela was amazing with our dog, Gryffin! This was our first experience with Rover, and she made it all so easy. She shared pictures of Gryf while we were gone, and we could tell he loved staying with her!”
