“Ciana was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my baby. She also regularly sent me photos and updates so I knew that he was in great hands. I’ll definitely go back to her and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Mackenzie and her family were AMAZING. They took such good care of our pups. Both Lylla and Rocket have separation anxiety issues, and we knew they had been well-loved because they were so calm when we picked them up. We also loved the "Welcome Puppies" chalk drawing that Mackenzie's daughter drew for us. We would absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again!!”
“Susan was awesome, Flexible, responsive and kind! She sent pictures of our dogs having a blast on her three acre fenced property. Our dog especially loved lounging on the top step of the pool!”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”
“Laura was friendly, profressional, and made us feel at such ease leaving our baby Digit with her. We were out of thr country and requested emails and she was more than happy to oblige. Laura provided frequent updates and our pup looked happy and healthy in every picture sent. Laura dogs were passive and easy for our dog to get along with. Overall I would definitely recommend Laura”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“Lindsey and her husband took great care of our retriever for 10 nights! We received regular photos and videos and lots of communication. Lucky was well fed, walked, and loved like part of their family. He came home happy and relaxed.”
“Alex & Bri were so friendly, accommodating, and communicative. They did so well with my anxious pup, gave her all the snuggles and were attentive. They sent loads of photo updates and followed all the directions. My pup lived their dog Lulu and we will definitely be booking with them again soon. So grateful for them all.”
“Wonderful people who took great care of my senior / special needs buddy. Couldn’t be happier. Sarah and her husband are a super loving couple, very communicative and are very responsible. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.”
“Ashish took excellent care of my 6-year-old dog. He sent many photos and communicated with me about my dog’s initial separation anxiety, finding ways to engage with her and make her feel at home in a new setting. I appreciate the care, exercise, and attention he provided her that put my mind at ease. Great to have discovered a trustworthy local sitter!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old, starting with the pets of my friends, family, and my own dogs. Over the years, I have learned how to understand their personalities, needs, and routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, companionship, or providing extra care for younger or older pets, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care is not just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy and dedicate my time to. I currently care for pets full-time, which allows me to give them the attention, love, and consistency they need throughout the day. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping their routines, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their families are away. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I feel grateful to be able to do what I love every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and respected in their environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide a calm and loving space where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
“Mariaelena was great with our two dogs. They are both elderly and one unexpectedly became a bit grouchy about his kennel and was sure to keep up reassured that everyone was doing fine despite the unexpected. Would totally trust her with our doggies anytime.”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”

“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.”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve volunteered at the Napa Animal Shelter and fostered kittens, giving me experience with cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for bottle babies, runts of the litter, playful kittens, teenagers, adults, and senior cats, and I understand that every cat has different needs and comfort levels. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and litter box care to administering basic care, playtime, and helping shy cats feel safe. Whether your cat is energetic, independent, or just wants a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they receive patient, loving care while you’re away.
“I am so appreciative for Mariah. She kept me updated on my cat Ozzy throughout my time away. I never worried that he wasn't getting the attention and care that he needed. I got a kick out of the daily updates from her. She was responsive and respectful and I trusted that my cat was safe with her and enjoying her presence. I would absolutely use Mariah again to watch my pet.”
About: Ive always loved cats!! I've lived with over a dozen in my lifetime and Im always rescuing and saying hi to every kittenfish I meet. My Russian Blue and I are best friends and I pride myself on attention to detail. I am the sitter who will LISTEN to your pets needs and show up in a way that feels right for them. Never moving to fast and always respecting boundaries. I love making animals feel safe.
About: For the past four years, I have lovingly cared for both adult cats and kittens, providing daily feeding, grooming, and playing. My passion for animal welfare led me to complete a four-month internship at an animal shelter, where I cleaned kennels, prepared meals, monitored the animals' well-being, and spent quality time playing with and comforting cats and dogs. I am dedicated to treating every animal with patience, kindness, and compassion, ensuring they feel cared for, safe, and loved.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping anxious pets comfortable while you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me. 🐾
“We have been working with Melany from the start of our Rover experience, and she has been spectacular! My husband and I have variable schedules week to week, but Melany is always understanding and steps in when she can. Our 6 month Shepherd mix has loved her visits over these past couple of weeks :)”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of cats and have grown to love them dearly. I used to be allergic as a kid but luckily grew out of that. I am available to hang with your furry friends or drop by to make sure they have everything they need.
About: I’ve been a cat owner my entire life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets while you’re away. Although I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I am anything but new in caring for cats. As a registered nurse, I’m detail oriented, calm under pressure, and comfortable following specific care instructions and routines. I am experienced in administering medications, having taken care of multiple cats that were seniors, and that required medications. I’m happy to accommodate particular needs and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with both fellow cat owners and their fur-babies by providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care.
About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Weekly, I ensure pets get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and any special care they may require, like administering medication or grooming. Pet care is a rewarding part of my schedule, and I make sure to provide a structured and loving environment for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. Pets receive regular meals, daily walks, and engaging activities to keep them happy and healthy. I also provide lots of attention and affection, treating them like family members. Whether it's grooming, training, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure during their stay.
About: When I wasn’t with my horse or loving on my own pets, I was the go-to pet sitter for family and the neighborhood dog walker for anyone who needed an extra hand. I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—including my sweet puppy Blossom, who was in a wheelchair and had hydrocephalus (water on the brain). She needed round-the-clock care, and I was there for every moment, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets deserve—especially those with special needs. I’m caring, loving, and endlessly patient, and I promise to treat your fur baby like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a good old-fashioned game of fetch, I look forward to being the reason your pet can “smile” during the day… even if I have to make silly faces or use my best squeaky-toy voice to do it! Lol. I already spend part of my week walking dogs for a friend, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Since I work from home, I’ve got plenty of flexibility for walks, hikes, playtime, and all the tail wags and happy zoomies your pet needs! Let me know what YOU prefer for your fur baby. (: I’m more than happy—and honestly, I prefer—to come to you! It gives me a nice break during my workday and lets me spend quality time with your pet in their own space. I’m great at reading animal behavior and body language, and I have experience caring for pets with special needs (I had my own), as well as handling aggressive behavior, food aggression, nervousness (I’ve fostered pups with these challenges), training, crate training, and more. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll adapt to make them comfortable and happy!
About: I grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.

“Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!”
“Sarah and her husband Matt we’re awesome doggy daycare for Libra! They sent pictures and gave me updates throughout the day. They’re very welcoming and I felt my dog was safe and happy while she was there. I would use her again and highly recommend you do too!”
“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!”

“Katherine is such a sweet and loving person. She was very nice and caring to Mylo. Mylo warmed up to her easily. Would request her to take care Mylo if ever we come back to Napa. Thank you very much for today.”
“Lindsey is absolutely wonderful! She watched our little boy while we were at a wedding and she took great care of him! She sent frequent videos and pictures and updates and I wondered if he’d even want to leave haha. She made a potentially stressful day completely worry-free!”
“🔎 TL:DR: We ❤️ Ashlyn!!! Highly recommend and would book again next time we are in Napa. THE BEST SITTER!!! 📚The Details: Ashlyn made it very easy for us while we were in Napa for a wedding weekend. Very professional, communicative, and caring. Boots is also a gem of a playmate. 🐾 This was our first time getting a dog sitter, like… EVER! And also brand new users to the Rover app. I had sooo many questions, and also a bunch of specific instructions about my puppy’s care. Ashlyn made us feel so comfortable and gave us a lot reassurance about what to expect. All in all, so great!!! Would book again, no question. 🎤👊 Thank you again Ashlyn & Boots!!!”
“Luna has the best time at Daniels - she always comes home happy & tired from a full day of play, & is so excited whenever we bring her back. Daniel also does a great job at sending us pictures and videos of her throughout the day so we never have to worry. Very happy to have found someone local we can trust our pup with!”
“Ciana and her husband were great caring for Fred, our 10 years old Westie! I was a bit nervous leaving Fred for the first time, as he has EPI and requires extra care with the preparation of his meals (he takes pancreatic enzymes). Ciana went above and beyond to keep me at ease and did a fantastic job with Fred. Thank you Ciana! We’ll definitely reach out again next time we’re in Napa!”
“Hannah was amazing. Very knowledgeable and professional. Hannah took great care of Terra and even took the time to get to know her first and then introduce her to the rest of her squad. Amazing property, I highly recommend Hannah for your pup’s needs, your dog(s) will be greatly taken care of! (:”
“Ashley is a compassionate, calm pet sitter. I scheduled a meet and greet with my dog Piper ahead of day care date. We were greeted warmly and Piper enthusiastically explored her peaceful, pet safe yard. Piper was eager to return for her day of fun, and loved her 3 walks and frisbee play. Thank you, Ashley!”
“David took amazing care of Otis! I'm not the easiest owner as I'm always worried about my pup. I've almost always failed to successfully find someone on Rover. David was communicative, helpful, and just clearly understands and knows how to care for dogs. His dog Rosie is really sweet, too. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave my dog with David and was totally comfortable the entire time I was away. I will definitely use David anytime I'm in the Napa area for overnight care or just someone to watch Otis for the day.”

We absolutely recommend Jacob & Shayla and will be back at n the future!”
“My dog had a great time with Julia! I could tell because he came back to me very tired and very happy, which I appreciated because he fell asleep right when I got home and I could relax, lol.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and rabbits through 4-H, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I also volunteered at the Napa Animal Shelter, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassion. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I’ve also fostered kittens, which gave me experience caring for young animals and paying close attention to their individual needs. I currently have two dogs and four cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away !!!

About: I have had my own pet for 10+ years and added a husky to the family 3 years ago (I think they are one of the final bosses of learning to care for doggies) I befriend doggies I care for once we become acquainted :) I work from home most days, active with exercise so walking is already a big and important part of my daily routine and am pretty flexible :) I follow directions thoroughly as if your fur baby was my own as I would want somebody to do the same for me. Their family being away is already hard enough so important to keep everything else routine!
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.

“Laurynn was awesome! She responded very quickly and was able to do the walk, even though it was super short notice of me to put the request out! She was genuine and enthusiastic when she met my pups. Based on the pictures, they look like they had a fantastic walk with her! I will definitely reach out to her again for dog walking needs. 🐶💕”
About: I am not your typical sitter; working with animals is just a way of life. There isn't a single animal I wouldn't love to work with! Whether it's your common household pet, your barnyard companions, or even the more unusual exotic creatures, I possess the expertise to care for them all! Rest assured, your pet will be in excellent hands when you choose to book with me. If your pet has any special requirements, I am more than willing to accommodate them. I also have experience in administering medication to all types of animals. Caring is simply my nature; I spend my days working full-time with animals while pursuing a degree in biology. Additionally, I am a mom. I constantly stay busy and engaged with both my children and pets. Your pets will receive the same treatment and respect as my own. They will be showered with all the love possible! While you are away, your pets will enjoy my full attention and care.

“Mackenzie and her family were AMAZING. They took such good care of our pups. Both Lylla and Rocket have separation anxiety issues, and we knew they had been well-loved because they were so calm when we picked them up. We also loved the "Welcome Puppies" chalk drawing that Mackenzie's daughter drew for us. We would absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again!!”
“Susan was awesome, Flexible, responsive and kind! She sent pictures of our dogs having a blast on her three acre fenced property. Our dog especially loved lounging on the top step of the pool!”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Laura was friendly, profressional, and made us feel at such ease leaving our baby Digit with her. We were out of thr country and requested emails and she was more than happy to oblige. Laura provided frequent updates and our pup looked happy and healthy in every picture sent. Laura dogs were passive and easy for our dog to get along with. Overall I would definitely recommend Laura”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“Angela was so kind and caring with my pup, Bruno. He is a sensitive guy and she did a great job of putting him at ease. It was a special vacation for him as well since he got to lounge on the sofa and sleep in her bed - I was thrilled that she spoiled him with special treatment. He even got to make a new pupoy friend while staying with her.”
“Lindsey and her husband took great care of our retriever for 10 nights! We received regular photos and videos and lots of communication. Lucky was well fed, walked, and loved like part of their family. He came home happy and relaxed.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old, starting with the pets of my friends, family, and my own dogs. Over the years, I have learned how to understand their personalities, needs, and routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, companionship, or providing extra care for younger or older pets, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care is not just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy and dedicate my time to. I currently care for pets full-time, which allows me to give them the attention, love, and consistency they need throughout the day. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping their routines, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their families are away. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I feel grateful to be able to do what I love every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and respected in their environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide a calm and loving space where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
“Mariaelena was great with our two dogs. They are both elderly and one unexpectedly became a bit grouchy about his kennel and was sure to keep up reassured that everyone was doing fine despite the unexpected. Would totally trust her with our doggies anytime.”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
“We recently moved to Marin and over the holidays had to board our 9 year old lab, Molly, with a stranger for the first time. Carl immediately put both Molly and her nervous owners at ease :) He sent photos daily and ensured she felt at home in her temporary digs. We especially appreciate that Carl grew up with labs and lives near trails where ours could get plenty of play time. Looking forward to sending Molly off to Camp Carl when we take our next trip!”
“Shayla and Jake watched Juno for a few days during our wedding week. They were communicative, always on time for pick up/drop off, and we could instantly tell Juno was comfortable with them! Thank you so much for watching Juno for us!!!”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Robin was outstanding. Her attentiveness to our dogs needs was above and beyond. We would absolutely love to use her again and I do highly recommend her. Her being also a licensed vet tech gave us the reassurance that she was comfortable dealing with any situation”
“Daniel was super great! Kept in touch throughout the boarding experience with updates and photos. I very much appreciated the regular check-in as it provided reassurance my pup was doing well! Would strongly recommend.”
