“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!”
“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.”
“Tammy is wonderful and I couldn’t have a found a better staycation for Gideon for the weekend. She was super responsive during the vetting process to ensure Gideon would be a good fit for her home. And during the stay she put my mind at ease and sent photos to show me how he was doing. Will absolutely use Tammy again the next time we go out of town!”
“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.”
“My cat was wonderfully well cared for during an extended holiday stay! I received pictures and updates each day and it was very obvious how at home she felt. When my cat took to a certain area in the house, Heather made it a nice comfy spot for her to relax and live her best life in a home away from home. I had a last a minute schedule change, and everything couldn't have been handled more conveniently. Wonderful experience, great communication, and a very happy cat!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and the list goes on! I'm comfortable around all animals, and I absolutely adore them all! I go to school full time, but I do not have classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I can be available between classes on Wednesday and Thursday. There's lots of room for flexibility in my schedule. I will follow all instructions the owner provides. I can crate animals, take them on walks, feed, and water them, and keep them entertained throughout the day.
“Patrick and Tony were absolutely fantastic! They spoiled our dog so much I didn't think he would want to come home with us! Couldn't have asked for better sitters! If we ever need a sitter again we will definitely go with Patrick and tony!”
“Lauren and her husband are the best!! My dog loves staying with them and is always so happy when we pick her up. My husband and I travel a lot for work so it’s really nice to know she is taken care of while we are away ❤️”
“Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all. I often watched others dogs in the neighborhood growing up while people were out of town take care of friends and families dogs when they are traveling or at work I work from home and have a golden retriever who I already take care of. He loves to play with other dogs so loves whenever we get to god sit. I have a fenced yard and take the dogs for an afternoon and night walk on my lunch and after work. I have a dog of my own so my house is kept tidy with nothing that would be unsafe for dogs.
“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!”
“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.”
“Nadya was great! Her place is a relaxing retreat for the dogs, lots of sunny spots to lounge in the yard. She sent great pics while we were gone. She was kind, friendly and responds quick to texts. Would definitely recommend her.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”

“Audrey was amazing. She took great care of our cat, checked-in and took numerous photos, walked us through the Rover experience, and was all-around professional and kind. Would highly recommend.”
“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”
“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.”
“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”
“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!”
“Sam was great. He checked in on our new kitten and helped with those mid day zoomies. The kitten was very comfortable with him. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care.”
“I have two very different cats. One is very social and outgoing, while the other is very shy and timid. Olivia was great with both of them. She gave my outgoing furbaby lots of love and attention and she climbed on the floor and brought food to my other shy furbaby while he lived under the bed. Her updates and pics helped me relax and know everything was going smoothly. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again!”
“Andrea was great with my cats. It's pretty amazing when all of my cats like the pet-sitter and that means the world to me. I felt like my babies were in good hands. I could tell Andrea really enjoyed being around my cats and was going to like spending time with them. She also took care of my house, making sure that she left everything the way it was. I highly recommend Andrea for pet-sitting and house sitting. She's sweet, considerate and will take good care of your fur babies!!”
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.
“Lucy’s delightful! An awesome communicator, she was loving and persistent with our shy kitty. She seemed genuinely delighted when he finally emerged on one of her visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gus in Lucy’s care again, if she’ll have us. Thank you Lucy!”
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!
“Cora Leigh is the best in pet sitting. With our home in the middle of an extensive remodel, she worked around the chaos and our kitty was well cared for. Completely trustworthy and manages any situation. Our kitty is well cared for with time and attention to many pets!”
About: Hi! A little bit about me… I have grown up with animals for as long as I can remember. From farm summer camps to taking care of neighbor’s pets to adopting dogs and cats from the local shelter, I have always loved having animals in my life. With around eight years of professional pet care experience, I offer pet walking, overnight stays and day care visits for dogs, cats and other pets. My main goals are to ensure your pet is comfortable, happy and safe, and that the owner feels the same. I understand being away from your pet is hard, so I want to provide as much comfort as possible. I have had experience with young, senior and challenging pets. I also volunteered at NorthBay Animal Services and Petaluma Pet Pals. Both were great experiences and allowed me to get to know many different pups and kittens. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! I just graduated from college at the University of Oregon and am home for a few months. I am looking for some sweet pets to hang out with and care for! My main goals are to ensure your pet is comfortable, happy and safe, and that the owner feels the same. I understand being away from your pet is hard, so I want to provide as much comfort as possible. I am responsible, reliable and gentle.
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.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a German Shepherd, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and three cats taught me how important patience, consistency, and care are for pets. I started pet sitting as a teenager for family friends, and through word of mouth I quickly became a trusted sitter for pets and homes of all kinds. One of my biggest pet-sitting jobs included caring for three dogs, 18 outdoor cats, and even feeding local crows and cranes! Having lived all over the country, I've continued to find joy in caring for animals wherever I go. I treat every pet like family and strive to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a young professional working a typical Monday–Friday schedule for a nonprofit organization. I'm available before and after work for walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'm happy to use my lunch break to stop by for mid-day potty breaks, walks, or check-ins. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, as close to their normal routine while you're away. 🐾 I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. In my clients' homes, I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household rules to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company, I make sure each animal receives the attention and care they need. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and well cared for.
“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We entrusted our 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Daisy, to Susannah’s care, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Daisy has special needs, but Susannah’s calm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put her at ease. Daisy was well cared for and seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Being able to leave her in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our day out without any worries. We highly recommend Susannah for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

I provide a clean loving home environment. I make sure their day is both enriching and structured so they feel calm, confident, and emotionally balanced.

“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!”
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.

“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’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and it would truly be a privilege to work with animals every day! Over the years, I’ve volunteered at various animal shelters and have loved every minute of it. I thrive when I’m surrounded by all types of animals — each with their own unique personality and needs. With how expensive life has become, I want to offer my services at a very low and affordable rate. I completely understand that sometimes finances can be tight, and a pet still needs care. In those cases, I’m always willing to offer my time and services free of charge. A pet’s wellbeing should never depend on money — we’re all part of the same community, and I believe in helping one another. Animals need love, attention, and exercise — and they deserve it every day.

Preferably west side of Petaluma. I am also available to feed and play with your cat on a wknd if you are out of town. I currently have two cats, and they pretty much own the place. I make sure they have toys, high places to climb on, and comfy beds to nap in. I would love to own a dog, but at the moment it’s not in the cards for me as I don’t have a large enough home yet. Give yourself the Peace of mind that your pet is well taken care of while you are away❣️

About: I have always had animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, horses) and took a break from having pets for schooling. I grew up in 4-H and FFA but stopped with animals after high school. Now I have a lab puppy who keeps me active. But would love to be around more pets. I’m a runner and love being outside. We got our puppy at 8 weeks and have done all of his training at home. He is a well mannered, behaved puppy. I enjoy playing and interacting with animals. Our pets are our family! I don’t have much experience with pet sitting but for friends and family. My actual career is a nurse so first aid is my thing! At this time I can only dog walk and do check ins.

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 make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and clean water at all times. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety during walks and visits.
“Ria saved us so much during I had bad Covid sickness. She handles our rambunctious boy amazing, now she is his favorite girl! Thank you so much Ria for your loving care for our boy❤️”
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’ve raised 3 puppies into adulthood. I have experience potty training puppies. I’m also good at taking pups to their vet appointment. I am very active so I have a lot of energy to keep up with hyperactivity. I am a part-time chiropractor assistant in SF. I only work about 5 hours and my work schedule is very flexible. I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am very patient and observant. I will keep your pet engaged in indoor and outdoor activities! Unfortunately, I can’t keep pets in my apartment. If you provide me with house rules for your pet I will follow them to the best of my ability. I can be in consistent communication with pet owners.

“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!”
“Tammy is wonderful and I couldn’t have a found a better staycation for Gideon for the weekend. She was super responsive during the vetting process to ensure Gideon would be a good fit for her home. And during the stay she put my mind at ease and sent photos to show me how he was doing. Will absolutely use Tammy again the next time we go out of town!”
“Lauren and her husband are the best!! My dog loves staying with them and is always so happy when we pick her up. My husband and I travel a lot for work so it’s really nice to know she is taken care of while we are away ❤️”
“Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all. I often watched others dogs in the neighborhood growing up while people were out of town take care of friends and families dogs when they are traveling or at work I work from home and have a golden retriever who I already take care of. He loves to play with other dogs so loves whenever we get to god sit. I have a fenced yard and take the dogs for an afternoon and night walk on my lunch and after work. I have a dog of my own so my house is kept tidy with nothing that would be unsafe for dogs.
“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!”
“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.”
“Nadya was great! Her place is a relaxing retreat for the dogs, lots of sunny spots to lounge in the yard. She sent great pics while we were gone. She was kind, friendly and responds quick to texts. Would definitely recommend her.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”
“Dustin has always been super reliable and our dog has always and literally always returned even happier! Our dog doesn’t like being away from us, but Dustin makes him feel right at home. I highly recommend him! Great for all dogs!”
“Hannah was able to take our pup at short notice for a 2 week period and he absolutely loved every second of being in her care. Hannah is super communicative, sends pictures and adapts to any mishaps (we had to have new food delivered which was delayed). It’s such a great environment for pups that love playing. We will definitely be booking Hannah again. THANK YOU.”
“Shayla, Jacob, and their twins were the perfect caregivers for our dogs, Gabbi and Poppins, while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear our pups were in loving, capable hands. Shayla and Jacob kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week. Our dogs came back happy, healthy, and completely at ease, which speaks volumes about the care they received. We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after our furry friends. Shayla and Jacob truly treated them as part of their own family. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitting experience!”
“Devrie took my dogs into her home and cared for them as if they were her own. She made my hectic day so much easier and took all the stress off my shoulders. When they came home , they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend her!”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Jill. She is very warm and loving and took great care of my beloved fur baby. I loved receiving photos during his stay and they have a super safe setup. I could tell Beau was super happy being there which means a lot when you’re away. Would definitely book again!”
“Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!”
“Winnie had the best time when staying with Sylvie and her family! We got multiple pictures throughout her stay of all the fun hikes she went on and doggie friends she met. Sylvie was great with giving her meds and we didn’t have a thing to worry about. I know Winnie can’t wait to come back for a stay”
