“Dustin is an amazing dog caretaker. I can't think of anyone I'd rather leave our active pup with. We've left our little guy with Dustin multiple times, including extended stays. It really is like his second home. When we turn on to Dustin's street, our dog starts barking with anticipation, and as soon as he arrives he can't wait to jump all over Dustin with a happy greeting. Not only is Dustin personally great with dogs, but his property is perfectly set up to allow them to run, play, and stay active. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Robert sent updates everyday and I knew Riley and Luma were spoiled at his house. Riley is a senior and needs eye drops twice a day, Robert was understanding and provided what she needed.”
“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!”
“Alexis was great. I had to make a last minute booking and she was very prompt to arrange a meeting with my dog and I. I left Nikki at Alexis overnight and she took great care of her. She even accommodated her sleeping needs. Alexis has a beautiful property with lots of space for the doggies to run around and feel free. I will definitely bring Nikki to Alexis again!”
About: I have cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. I spent several years volunteering at a veterinary clinic and later at a humane society, where I gained hands-on experience in animal care, handling, and support. I telework so I am at home most of the day. When I do leave, dogs hang out in the dog run where they have access to comfy beds, toys and access to an upstairs patio where they can keep an eye on all the goings-on. I have a fully fenced yard that provides a safe, secure space for dogs to run, play, or relax comfortably. I provide supervised playtime in the yard several times a day and at least one 20-30 minute walk around the neighborhood.
“Heather and Calob were great!!! They cared for my dog for three days, and I received photos and updates throughout the day informing me of my dog’s mood, behavior, and feeding/play time! They were also very flexible on time, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend booking both Heather and Calob for your dog’s daycare and boarding needs.”
“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Tamara is a lovely woman and is the perfect dog sitter for our retriever! She's a true dog person and took great care of our boy. When we picked him up we could tell he had a good time with her and her other doggies (aka Jasper's New Pals). Thank you Tamara!”
“Pixie came home happy and healthy! Lauren and Ben took wonderful care of her for six days. They sent us regular photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When our flight got canceled, they were incredibly accommodating. They helped us extend the booking and happily let Pixie stay with them for an extra day, which we truly appreciated. We're so grateful for their kindness and excellent care. We'll definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Shayla & Jacob were great communicators. They responded a timely manor. My puppies (5 months and just over a year) were well taken care of. We set up a meet and greet they took the time to listen to me and understand what my puppies needed they did not rush me at all I would definitely leave my puppies with them again. Not only are they lovely people but have a beautiful family”
“Hsiaolei provided Lulu the absolute best attention and care. They were extremely attentive to her needs, taking her on loads of hikes because she is an energetic dog. The photos she sent us during our time away showed Lulu visibly smiling, whether on her pad by the fire or out on a walk. I highly recommend Hsiaolei!”
“Ashish was amazing. This was our pup’s first boarding, and I was very nervous. He reassured me that everything was going to be ok. He also sent us photos through out the visit! He was super accommodating on pick up time as well. Would ABSOLUTELY bring my dog back here if I needed boarding again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and know firsthand how much they become part of the family. Our beloved dogs, Bonbon and Bambii, were like siblings to me, and I loved spending time with them on walks, hikes, and playtime adventures. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, I miss that special connection and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your furry companions. I also have experience looking after my sister's dog, Toast, and always enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being around animals. I love starting my mornings with a walk, hike, or run, and I'm available between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM for dogs who need exercise, fresh air, and attention before the day begins. In the evenings, I enjoy going on walks after work, usually from 7:00 PM onward. This gives me dedicated time to focus on your pet, whether that means a relaxing walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Having grown up with dogs and caring for my sister's dog, Toast, I understand that pets thrive on consistency, affection, and quality time. Caring for pets doesn't feel like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my weekly routine.🐶🤍 When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.
About: I have been lucky to owned dogs my entire life, big and small. My wife and I had our last dog for 13 years until she passed away in 2025, so there is a lot of love that we are now re-directing to other dogs. I have taken care of friends, family, and acquaintances' dogs throughout my life and never had issues. Prioritizing your dog's safety is paramount inside and outside of our home. I work remote so overnights, doggie-day care, and daily walks are easy to manage. Our condo only has an enclosed patio, but directly behind the patio is a big communal yard that offers a lot of space to run around and play fetch. I have trained our previous dog from a pup and know how to reinforce good behaviors with treats, repetition, and boundaries. Your dog will be well taken care of and will have all the love they can get. I will not have multiple dogs from multiple people at the same time, to avoid any conflict. However, I am willing to take care of multiple dogs from one owner. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, so doggie daycare during the week is very manageable. Overnights throughout the week are easier than the weekend, but with advanced notice, a weekend overnight could work. I have a two story condo with an enclosed patio. There is also a large yard directly behind the patio for an easy bathroom spot and fetch area.

“My cat Blue and I were lucky enough to have Siggy be our first Rover experience! She was so kind, came for a meet and greet and sent photos to update me. We so appreciate having her as a new friend!”
“Cora is fantastic. Have booked her twice and the second time threw in a new kitten we had just adopted as an added challenge, and on top of that our older cat got a bit ill sneaking too much kitten food. Cora was so good with both of them the week we were gone and is very communicative and caring. Very thankful we found her.”

I am currently in school locally at the SRJC, I am in school at both the Petaluma and Santa Rosa campus. I am a full time student and I also do volunteer work with Forgotten Felines and Forget Me Not Farm. I also work as a kennel assistant taking care of animals at a veterinary clinic, 7-4 Friday-Sunday. Working with animals is my dream, I want to be a neuro-vet, this is how I can work closely with animals in my current stage. My school hours are between 9AM-4PM M + W, and 9-11 Tues + Thurs, I will be in school during these times and return immediately to assist with your pet(s) afterward! I usually have an hour - hour and a half gap in between classes, if I need to stop by for a few minutes during that period I’m sure we will work it out. I love making sure that animals are comfortable, I will ensure house rules are in place, and I am excellent in dog training. I love to spend time with the animals even when not required.
About: I have had cats my entire life, and since I was old enough to understand what they were I fell in love haha! My cats mean the world to me, and every cat I meet becomes a new friend. I am a very attentive person, and understanding each cats needs in very important to me. I am always watching and listening to make sure they are 1- happy and 2- safe.
“Savannah was fabulous! She loved and cared for home and kitties with such care, respect and attention. We loved getting updated stories and pictures, and came home to relaxed cats! What a difference. We are so glad we found her and she comes with our highest recommendations. She's a good human too.”
“Alex was great with pre-sitter communication and coordination. I really appreciate the updates and photos during my time away and Yoshi (who is usually really shy) really liked him! Very much recommend Alex! Thank you!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up our home was often ruled by as many as 5 cats at a time, and as an adult I've been lucky enough to share my life with 3 cats of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make cats so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help pets feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type.
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities, from playful and social to shy and sensitive. I’m confident in providing daily care routines, including feeding, grooming, playtime, and closely monitoring behavior and well-being. I’m very attentive to cleanliness and take litter box maintenance seriously, ensuring a consistently fresh and hygienic environment. I also have experience administering basic medications when needed and always prioritize each cat’s comfort and stress-free experience. What sets me apart is the level of care and affection I give—every cat in my home is treated like family, with plenty of one-on-one attention, gentle handling, and a calm environment designed to help them feel safe and relaxed.
“Bethany did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Vanya! Vanya is a very shy girl but she warmed up to Bethany immediately. Bethany was super communicative and so, so friendly! highly recommend her!”
About: I worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and have been caring for pets still after that. Have had a senior dog of my own to care for. I am very flexible with time throughout the week. Have dogs to care for of my own so while wife is at work during the day will need to care for them a little bit. I will care for the clients pet in their home exactly how they would want their dog treated in their home, and will follow their instructions exactly.
“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Bridget is the best! My boys warmed up to her immediately. She sent photos of them each day and made sure they had everything they needed. Her response time was prompt and she’s reachable! I trust my boys in her hands anytime and will absolutely be booking her again :)”
About: So only other cat people are reading this, right? I do a lot of dog walking, and they are all nice, so please don't tell them: I'm a cat person! My girlfriend and I live in a historic house near downtown Petaluma, I go for a nice long walk most days, so it would be super easy to check in on your kitties!

“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!”
“The best! We were so relaxed being able to leave Toto with Lucy and her family. The meet and greet was easy and drop off and pick up was quick too. Thanks so much and I hope next time we are in town we can look for your help again!”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”

“Kylie was great to communicate with and she took really good care of my dog Mochi! She cares for her dog really well. It was relieved to know my dog has someone like this watching him when I’m away!”
“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”
“I was in Petaluma for the day and Zahra did a amazing job of making him feel safe and sound while I was away. Highly recommend for senior or anxious dogs like mine. Prior to the visit, good communication. Thank you.”
“Ria is awesome! In addition to being loved right away by our slightly anxious pup and being a dog whisperer with him, she was helpful with recommendations for navigating the construction road chaos of the area. Highly recommend!”
“Judy did a wonderful job with our Sunshine. She had the extra pressure of dealing with two dogs who were unfamiliar with each other. Because of Judy we were able to enjoy day at the Safari while on vacation.”

“Susannah and Richard were so kind and great to work with! They took excellent care of our nervous dog during a holiday, allowing us to spend valuable time with family, which we really appreciated. They asked helpful questions to make sure they could provide the best care for our dog, and they made sure to take him out for walks and give him lots of good attention. We are so glad we met them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“I am so grateful for the wonderful day that my dog, Lexie, enjoyed while staying at Shayla and Jacob’s home. It was a hot day and they let her swim - one of her all time favorite activities. When I picked her up she was so happy, content and tried to lead me back to their home. She looked at me like, “glad you made it - now let’s go back and play at their home some more!” Thanks so much again, and we’re looking forward to future visits!”
“Adriana is lovely to work with and conscientious about watching the dogs and making sure they are safe as they play.She has a nice play area for the dogs. My dog loved her young Golden Retriever and they had a great time”

“Lucy has been so great walking my dog for the last several months. She shows up when she says consistently, and has been there numerous times on short notice. Couldn't ask for a better dog walker and definitely worth the extra couple bucks.”
About: I have had many dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I treat all animals with love and respect and enjoy their energy. I have experience with young puppies to senior dogs and cats. My dog Addie is 14 and is winding down these days. This gives me time for exercising your dog or cat or playing and giving them quality time in your home. I am a young at heart, very active 66 year old equestrian with lots of time and energy to give to your beloved fur babies. I have good endurance and can walk hills and go on hikes. However, I am not able to walk larger dogs that pull strongly on the leash and react to squirrels, cats, or other dogs due to the concern of falling. I am retired so I am available any day of the week. I am available to walk your dog (small to medium) or senior big dogs. I am available to come to your house to play and/or spend time with your dog or cat while you are away. My dog is 14 and a bit cranky so I cannot have animals in my home while she is still with me. However, I can come to your house and provide company and exercise to your dog or cat. I will stay with your pet during your absence up to 5 hours a day. I will feed, change the litter box, entertain them with walks and/or playtime. Or just sit with them and keep them company. Eventually I will be available to care for dogs or cats in my home or overnight at yours, once my girl passes on. At this time, my time is limited to 4 to 5 hours per day due to not wanting to leave my dog alone for longer than 5 hours.

About: I enjoy walking dogs and spending time with cats. They are usually attuned to people and I am attentive to their needs with calm energy. I have an open schedule. I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am energetic when needed enjoying physical exercise. I am mellow having calm energy indoors. I have worked in other people's homes before and am considerate of their space and respectful of their belongings. I take charge when needed to get pet to respond.
About: I bond quickly with animals and I make sure to properly introduce myself so they don’t feel intimidated in their own home. To them I want to be a friend rather than someone who is just there I live across from a park where walking/playing with your dogs is fun and easy! I like to go outside for at least 30 minutes a day to get some fresh air and exercise. I am up early, making it easy to get dogs their first bathroom break in the morning. I have a short commute, so that means less time they have to be alone! I will stick to any schedules that they may have that way they feel a little bit more comfortable without their parents around. If anyone is feeling extra shy, I’ll slowly introduce myself until they are comfortable.

I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, while giving your pets plenty of love, attention, and companionship\. 🐾❤️

“Dustin is an amazing dog caretaker. I can't think of anyone I'd rather leave our active pup with. We've left our little guy with Dustin multiple times, including extended stays. It really is like his second home. When we turn on to Dustin's street, our dog starts barking with anticipation, and as soon as he arrives he can't wait to jump all over Dustin with a happy greeting. Not only is Dustin personally great with dogs, but his property is perfectly set up to allow them to run, play, and stay active. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Robert sent updates everyday and I knew Riley and Luma were spoiled at his house. Riley is a senior and needs eye drops twice a day, Robert was understanding and provided what she needed.”
“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!”
“Alexis was great. I had to make a last minute booking and she was very prompt to arrange a meeting with my dog and I. I left Nikki at Alexis overnight and she took great care of her. She even accommodated her sleeping needs. Alexis has a beautiful property with lots of space for the doggies to run around and feel free. I will definitely bring Nikki to Alexis again!”
About: I have cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. I spent several years volunteering at a veterinary clinic and later at a humane society, where I gained hands-on experience in animal care, handling, and support. I telework so I am at home most of the day. When I do leave, dogs hang out in the dog run where they have access to comfy beds, toys and access to an upstairs patio where they can keep an eye on all the goings-on. I have a fully fenced yard that provides a safe, secure space for dogs to run, play, or relax comfortably. I provide supervised playtime in the yard several times a day and at least one 20-30 minute walk around the neighborhood.
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Tamara is a lovely woman and is the perfect dog sitter for our retriever! She's a true dog person and took great care of our boy. When we picked him up we could tell he had a good time with her and her other doggies (aka Jasper's New Pals). Thank you Tamara!”
“Pixie came home happy and healthy! Lauren and Ben took wonderful care of her for six days. They sent us regular photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When our flight got canceled, they were incredibly accommodating. They helped us extend the booking and happily let Pixie stay with them for an extra day, which we truly appreciated. We're so grateful for their kindness and excellent care. We'll definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Shayla & Jacob were great communicators. They responded a timely manor. My puppies (5 months and just over a year) were well taken care of. We set up a meet and greet they took the time to listen to me and understand what my puppies needed they did not rush me at all I would definitely leave my puppies with them again. Not only are they lovely people but have a beautiful family”
“Hsiaolei provided Lulu the absolute best attention and care. They were extremely attentive to her needs, taking her on loads of hikes because she is an energetic dog. The photos she sent us during our time away showed Lulu visibly smiling, whether on her pad by the fire or out on a walk. I highly recommend Hsiaolei!”
About: I have been lucky to owned dogs my entire life, big and small. My wife and I had our last dog for 13 years until she passed away in 2025, so there is a lot of love that we are now re-directing to other dogs. I have taken care of friends, family, and acquaintances' dogs throughout my life and never had issues. Prioritizing your dog's safety is paramount inside and outside of our home. I work remote so overnights, doggie-day care, and daily walks are easy to manage. Our condo only has an enclosed patio, but directly behind the patio is a big communal yard that offers a lot of space to run around and play fetch. I have trained our previous dog from a pup and know how to reinforce good behaviors with treats, repetition, and boundaries. Your dog will be well taken care of and will have all the love they can get. I will not have multiple dogs from multiple people at the same time, to avoid any conflict. However, I am willing to take care of multiple dogs from one owner. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, so doggie daycare during the week is very manageable. Overnights throughout the week are easier than the weekend, but with advanced notice, a weekend overnight could work. I have a two story condo with an enclosed patio. There is also a large yard directly behind the patio for an easy bathroom spot and fetch area.
“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!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and pets and have grown to understand and love them fully and I hope to spread that love towards other animals! I can come take care of pets almost every day! I am a working Christian girl so Sundays I have church for an hour, and I just recently started a new job so far my hours are 10am-7pm Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays! I’m available afternoons on Thursdays and I’m available weekends! I believe that pets require an immense amount of attention and affection and I will always create a trusting bond with the pet owners and answer any questions the owners may have!
“Great experience. She took great care of my dog. Walked him twice a day. So much better than a kennel. Easy hand off and pick up in Fairfax and she sends daily pictures of your dog . Will definitely use her again.”
About: Updated Jun ‘26 Walk availability: 9am - 6pm daily Meet & Greets: I provide a complementary 10min meet & greet. If you want a longer appointment please schedule a 30-minute “drop-in” visit and specify you want an “extended meet & greet”. I have a flexible schedule; I am a stay-at-home mom and I bring my toddlers with me in a stroller for walks. Please note that though there is fencing around the property, it is not dog-proof, so dogs who will wander or run away when outside with me off-leash will remain leashed outdoors. You can relax knowing a competent, experienced and strong person is caring for your loved one(s). I used to be a dog training assistant and have worked with hundreds of dogs! ***If it’s your first Rover booking, let me know and I’ll give you a $20 discount code.*** Last-minute bookings are welcome : ) Please let me know if I need to bring my own harness/leash.
