“Brandie was easy to work with and kept us well informed with lots of pictures and videos. Our 1.5 yr old weim can be a handful, but was relaxed and happy during her stay with Brandie. Our dog was welcomed in as one of the family, such a different experience than the big boarding facilities we have tried previously. When we came to pick her up, our dog greeted us and then ran back to say goodbye to Brandie. We would definitely send our dog to Brandie again.”
“I would absolutely recommend Liz to take care of your pup. Hugo had a great time and it’s a great space. The pictures she sent were all of our doggie smiling and sleeping and totally comfortable. We will be using Liz for daycare as well as future pet sitting.”
“Sunny returned a very happy boy after getting to run around a beautiful property with lots of new friends. David was kind, responsive and flexible! Would love to have Sunny visit again when we're in the area :)”
“Bernadette was very flexible when I needed to change my drop off time. She has a lovely shady yard and beautifully calm home. My DAISEY really enjoyed her stay there. I highly recommend Bernadette. Her two little doggies were great playmates.”
“Melissa was so thoughtful and kind to both Daisy and I. It was our first time leaving Daisy since we adopted her. Melissa took the time to let us visit her home for a meet-and -greet and sniffs of her property a few days before Daisy’s stay. Melissa was so thoughtful and attentive to Daisy’s needs. I have no doubt that Daisy is in good hands with Melissa .”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“Sarah and her family did a trustworthy job taking care of my 7 month old puppy Mochi for 2 nights while we were at Scout Camp in Cazadero. She sent a ton of pictures from their outings & was super sweet. Thanks Sarah!”
“Gabriel & Laura we’ were amazing care giver for my two dogs. They went above and beyond in caring for my dogs, and they also sent adorable pictures that assured me my dogs were doing great!”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
About: Hello animal lovers - I have benefitted from Rover for dog sitting and realize it's something I'd love to do myself. My husband (a social worker) and I are both dog lovers and have a dog (a Frenchie) as well. I work from home (I run a marketing agency I started 12 year ago) and alas much of typical day I'm on zoom, and treasure the breaks for walking and loving on the dogs. While new to Rover, if been helping out friends and neighbors with dog care and logistics and sharing the love for years I'm reliable, work from home, and would love to know how you could use some help. Currently offering to sit or board one dog at a time or arrange prescheduled walks. I'll treat them like family. Comfortable with dogs of many sizes and personalities, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Our dog Fiona, a frenchie, plays well with others and has some unique needs including no rough play + daily medicine needs so we're familiar with special rules and medical needs. We do a morning walk, a mid day walk, an "after work" walk and a before bed walk. I work from home so am genrrally around all day. While flexible, I imagine at least initially the primary offering will be to host and care for your dog at our place but am open to house sitting if there's a great fit, I work from home. I can host your dog weekdays and weekends but know on weekends we may have friends (and sometimes friends with dogs) stop by. We have a fenced in deck otherwise for excercise we take leashed walks. I currently am only offering care in my own home and plan to only host one additional dog overnight at a time. Ask me any questions you'd like.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since March 2021, and he’s very much part of my family. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and getting to know their different personalities. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing, hanging out, and just having a dog around while I go about my day. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little details and will make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and patience I’d want someone to give Simba. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet your pup and hopefully become someone they’re excited to see! I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am around the house throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, take them for walks, and keep them company rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I already have a regular routine with my own dog, Simba, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll be caring for pets in my home, where I have a fenced yard that gives dogs a safe place to get outside, play, and explore. I’m home full-time, so pets will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since 2021 and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m very attentive to their behavior and individual needs, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, food, and making sure they’re comfortable in a new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend rather than being somewhere unfamiliar. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.

I always keep your pet safe and treat them as if they were my own
About: I have co existed with dogs my entire life, and began dog walking and dog sitting regularly nearly 10 years ago. I also have spent numerous years working for a local dog boarding facility. I currently work remotely which gives me free time to hang with your dog at the 10 acre ranch I live on. I prefer to dog sit in my own space but can be flexible if the timing is right. I am most interested in doggy daycare dog and house sitting as a side hobby. *while housesitting dogs & owners must be comfortable that I bring my own dog with me. he is a well socialized friendly 8 yr old cattle dog. I work remotely Sunday though Wednesday 3pm to 11pm. This schedule alows me to be flexible with dog sitting and doggy daycare during the week. I am available outside those hours for dog walking. I provide safe, loving care on my fenced ranch for boarding or in clients’ homes, offering exercise, attention, and a stress-free environment for every pet
“We had a great experience working with Kristin while she cared for our dogs, Gracie and Miley. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and made sure the girls were well taken care of during our time away. From making sure they got proper exercise each day to giving their medications on schedule and meeting all their nutritional needs, she truly went above and beyond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in a safe, caring environment. Kristin was also very sweet and easy to communicate with — we could tell she genuinely cared about our pups. We highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“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.”
“Emily and family took amazing care of our dog Chloe when we were out of town. From our meet and greet, Emily asked a lot of very good questions like what habits we allowed and did not allow, what kinds of updates we needed, whether we allowed her to wear her harness when not on a leash, etc. Emily seemed to have a strong background in training young dogs. Their dog Chaka seemed to play with Chloe all day and tired her out. Chloe went home very tired and very happy. While we were stressed about packing and forgot our mini white noise machine, Emily offered to lend us hers. We received frequent photo updates, and Chloe was always very happy in the photos. We would definitely recommend Emily and family took take care of your dogs.”

“Aunt Tania is our kitty’s favorite—we always know our baby is in great hands. She goes above and beyond as both a cat and house sitter, sending daily photos, watering plants, and leaving our home spotless. She even adds the sweetest welcome-home notes. We highly recommend her!”
About: I specialize in care for senior kitties and/or ones need special attention through medications, subcutaneous fluids, etc. My last kitty lived to be 22 yrs old, I believe because of my care from specialized homeopathic remedies to chiropractic adjustments. My pets are family.
About: I've taken care of cats ever since I started volunteering at a shelter at 10 years old. Because of my 18 years of animal shelter work, I've befriended all kinds of cats with a range of personalities and needs. Though I love every cat I've ever met, my heart lies with the shy kitties. The joy I get from showing a nervous cat that I'm a friend is unmatched. Cats have enrichment needs too! I am commited to making sure your feline friend gets exactly what they need when you're away. Whether that's cuddling up together or a high-octane play session, I'm ready to provide! I'm serious about punctual, reliable care and keeping your bestie on the schedule they know and love. I was taught clicker-training by an actual cat trainer (yes, they exist!) and love to mentally enrich cats using soft clicks and lots of treats. I also have lots of experience with medicating our more particular cat friends as well as how to handle our more fractious feline friends! So if you've got a cat who has no problem expressing their boundaries or is a little sassy, I'm here to make sure they're safe and respected!
“Jenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!”
About: I love all animals, but recently I’ve owned like three cats, raised them from babies, and treated them like my babies! I had to end up finding them new homes, but they are soooo happy with their new homes! I love cats just as much as I love any other animal/pet! :)
“As all the reviews say, Kat was impeccable. Very professional, very attentive, communicative, and clearly very sweet with our cats. She immediately started connecting with them and you could tell she cared about them and creating a sweet connection.”

“Jeanne’s wonderful! She’s so lovely, calm, friendly, and warm. Jeanne’s home and garden are a paradise oasis of fun for humans and animals alike. Our dog loved her dogs, and they romped and played together. Jeanne also treated our pup to a walk through her beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. We look forward to bringing our dog to visit Jeanne anytime.”
“I didn’t expect to need someone to watch our dogs for the day but they ended up having a little vacation of their own! Thank you sooo much! They were both happy when we picked up and we would plan a trip this way just so they could have a fun day with David again. While we had our own little vacation both our dogs did as well.”
“I 100% recommend Crystal and Rosie! I contacted her last minute asking her to watch my pitbull Lucy. Crystal scheduled a meet and greet the very next morning. Lucy instantly fell in love with both Crystal and Rosie. Crystal sent me updates a few times a day to make me feel comfortable. Lucy cant wait to go back!”
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“We were visiting the city and needed a sitter. They were so kind and accepted our request the day before. It was our first time leaving Lacey with someone we didn’t know, but they made sure we were comfortable and sent photos during her stay. So grateful we found them!”
About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer overnight care in your home, along with evening and weekend drop-in visits.

About: I’ve always had dogs and I have yet to met me a dog that didn’t like me. My friends started to notice when I’d come over to their houses, that I’d pay more attention to their dogs, than I would to my friends. If their dog didn’t get a walk that day, I’d offered to take them by myself. I’d always give them extra affection. I would even teach them new tricks. Recently, I’ve had to put my two old dogs down. So I’m now available to spend night away from home. Knowing how much I missed having a dog to love and care for, my friends started asking me to watch their dogs. They trusted wouldn’t just take him out to go to the bathroom, but I would actually care for them and give their dogs the same affection I’d give my own. I work Friday and Saturday 9am-4pm other than that my schedule is wide open. Days I work I let dogs out before and come straight home after work to relieve and take for a walk. I’m available for sleep over or just to get your dog out of the house for a nice long walk. Dogs are just like having kids. They need just as much care and attention. Your home is your comfort zone. I respect people property and when you return home, it will be as if you never left.
“Sheila accepted a last minute request for doggy day care and hosted my dog over. She is understanding of dogs behavior and needs. I knew my dog was in good hands and will return.”
“Larissa was super nice and made Baylee feel so comfortable! Her two golden retrievers were the sweetest and got along great with my pup. I felt totally at ease leaving Baylee there and will definitely be going back whenever I need help again! 🐶💛”
“Great and easy experience dropping our high maintenance baby off with Christina for a few hours so we could go to a party in town. She was very chill and easy to correspond with. He slept the whole way home so obviously had a good visit with her. Thank you, Christina!”
“Andrea was so great with Chloe. She was super attentive and met all our needs for 2 whole days. Chloe seemed like she really enjoyed their time together. If we are ever in the area again we would book her for sure.”
“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!”
About: I Love dogs, I dog walk and dog sit my neighbors dog regularly, I use to volunteer in the animal shelter, I use to have my own 2 dogs until they peacefully passed. Im working part time on call so I can really choose my schedule whenever however I want so I will always have plenty of time to watch your pets! I have two quiet vaccinated and spayed cats, If your animal isn’t comfortable with that they can stay in the other room door closed they spend most of there time in a separate room anyway.

“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
About: I began my seriously joyous devotion to animals at the age of 11, as an SF ZOO volunteer in the barnyard, where I learned to care for a variety of animals, from miniature horses to coyotes to parrots, and more. I have continued to attract rescuing wayward beasts of all kinds, providing them with excellent love and care. I am a natural nurturer, the animals feel at home with me wherever we are. I have worked as a cat, dog and multi-pet sitter for many years, up until now, only through personal referrals. I am a kundalini yoga teacher, craniosacral and polarity therapist. My son is grown and I have a very flexible schedule. I love to get out with the dogs for long walks and if they don’t mind the car, we might get to the beach. I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.
“Evan is a kind and conscientious dog lover. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with him on a regular basis. He is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!!”
About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.
“Kyle really helped us out this week! He was always on time and our dog really liked going on walks with him. When our dog got home he was just as happy as can be. Thank you Kyle”
About: My family has always had pets my whole life, including a dog for 14 years and 3 cats. I was always dealt the task of taking care of them so I am very familiar with pet sitting. I was very good/reliable so this job seemed like a natural choice for me. I am currently working at a gym, but only 17 hours a week so this will be more of my main priority. Other than the part time job I am free! I have a fenced yard with a lot of room to play, as well as a safe and comfortable neighborhood street for walks. I also have 2 very friendly cats that stay either outside or in my Mother’s room.
About: Your furry friends happiness is my top priority! When I'm caring for your pet I make sure your pet is safe, happy and loved.

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”
About: Hi! I'm Sarah. I love all animals and like to give them the care and love they deserve! I’ve had pets all my life. I'm kind, positive, gentle, and calm. My patience and calm demeanor allow animals to feel very comfortable around me. I have experience giving cats subcutaneous fluids 3x/wk for 7 months, oral meds (liquid and pill form for 1.5 years), facials, baths, and showers. and I'm sensitive & observant to animals' needs. I do my best to understand animal behavior and what they're communicating. When I adopted my cats, Sparkles & Zorro, they truly adopted me as their mom. They were a few months old & I was 10. I was their person, and the only one Sparkles completely trusted. They passed in 2019 & 2024. My dad and I found and revived a young robin from a flood after a tornado. When I come across wildlife or strays in need, I will go to the ends of the earth to help. In college I had a zoology emphasis & interned at an exotic wildlife rehabilitation center. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter washing dogs, cleaning kennels, & socializing with cats & dogs. I also volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary. We began rescuing cats since the LA wildfires and I fostered one. With a positive attitude and a readiness to learn, I'd complete the tasks assigned, giving attention to the animals as I go along. After finishing my work on the sanctuary, I'd thoroughly socialize with the animals, spending time in different barns/rooms each week so that all, from pigs to cats, receive equal attention. My skills allow me to notice a creature in need of help and be an advocate until the animal is safe and/or in the right hands. In addition to being an animal-lover, I am a people-person who enjoys the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. Sincerely, Sarah I'm currently looking for work and I'm an actress so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets and treat them like my own. I will treat your pet as though they were my own. I will make sure they are properly cared for, this includes playing with them, quality time, feeding, and bathroom time.
“Kara came to meet Cairo before walking him. He seemed to like her right away. She took him for a two mile walk even though it was snowing sideways so I am very grateful for that! Will definitely rebook :)”
“Zach has been great. We wanted a walker for 6 weeks while my granddaughter recovered from medical issues. Our rambunctious 70 lb. Golden Retriever juvenile (to big to be called a puppy) loves walking with Zach. He gets sooo excited when Zach arrives! So excited that Zach sometimes has to help get the leash on. All of us will miss having Zach walk Angus.”

About: My dream is to have a house full of cats and dogs even if they don't all belong to me! I bring a peaceful energy which seems to calm most anxious cats, dogs and other animals that I've met. I'm very affectionate with my animals and I'm good at reading their body language most of the time. I'm happy to have your animals sleep in bed with me even or give them medicine. I am also respectful and responsive with requests you may have. I also err on the side of over-communicating rather than under communicating so as to avoid any misunderstanding or disappointment. All that to say, I will probably ask a lot of questions to make sure everything will be completed as you desire.😅 Written instructions work best for me. I'm currently working full-time but my in person hours may reduce soon. I live in Santa Rosa so I try to stay local in my work. House sitting and pet sitting are my preferred services, but I can also do drop-ins and walks. Also, I typically like to keep my phone off on Saturdays and Sunday Mornings as my time to re-center and refresh away from distractions. However, if you have a pressing/urgent matter where it cannot wait till Sunday afternoon, I can keep my phone on for you. I like to cuddle with my creatures if I sense that they like it too. I try to learn their language and their personalities. Every single one is so unique! I treat them like my own babies.

“Brandie was easy to work with and kept us well informed with lots of pictures and videos. Our 1.5 yr old weim can be a handful, but was relaxed and happy during her stay with Brandie. Our dog was welcomed in as one of the family, such a different experience than the big boarding facilities we have tried previously. When we came to pick her up, our dog greeted us and then ran back to say goodbye to Brandie. We would definitely send our dog to Brandie again.”
“Jennifer was incredible with our young (and wild) golden. He got all the exercise, discipline, and care he needed, all in scenic nature surroundings. She even helped with a pesky ear infection. Best of all, her well-trained pack was there to assist in socializing the wild child. Thank you, Jennifer!”

I love nature, the outdoors and finding out how best to care for your animal so that they don’t miss you too much. I absolutely appreciate forming long term client relationships so that you and your animals can relax and have fun. I am self-employed and can accommodate your needs. When I am hired for a pet-sit, this is my focus and priority. I can schedule all my other work around it. I have a lovely minimalist home for your pet, a small garden and plenty of leashed walking in the woods space for regular exercise. If a dog is ok with car rides, I’m happy to take them to the beach.
“Ari is the best sitter we have ever worked with. She gave our two shy skittish rescues, Ares and Carter, nearly three weeks of truly loving & fun care. We never once had to ask for photos or updates. We were able to fully enjoy our lengthy vacation without worrying about the dogs at all, which was huge given how we had to cut our last two trips short due to our dogs’ being unsafe with past sitters. I was so reassured by how she cared for them that I booked her for our next trip before this one had even ended. Ari's thoroughness stood out from our very first meet and greet. She asked detailed questions about our dogs that went well beyond the basics, and it was clear she genuinely wanted to understand them and their needs. She gave our pups space and didn’t force any interactions. Ari's patience & care with shy dogs sets her apart. Both of our dogs are Jindo rescues who are reserved with new people and need time to get comfortable in new spaces. Ari respected their timing and let them come to her instead of pushing for attention or constant handling. That approach made a huge difference. Within a week, our very shy dog was curling up to sleep on her bed with her. Both dogs were greeting her with happy barks, kisses, and full-body tail wags. They have never done that with anyone besides my partner and me…not even with friends and family they have repeatedly seen. Her home is a dream for dog parents. Ari secures different areas of her home so that dogs are not only safe but also have a quiet space to retreat to, which matters a great deal for nervous and fearful rescues. Her yard felt very secure, and our pups had such a great time playing in her outdoor space. Since their breed are notorious escape artists, these thoughtful setups gave me reassurance that the pups were secure. The moment that made me happiest came at pickup. Both dogs were happy to see us and still kept taking short breaks from us to go back to Ari on their own, wagging their tails and giving her kisses. Seeing them acknowledge her in the middle of reuniting with us showed how deeply they had bonded with her. Ari completely exceeded our expectations, and it is hard to overstate how much that meant after two horrible experiences that broke our trust. Both happened back to back right before finding her, and we had to end both bookings and trips early because our dogs were not safe. I had vetted those sitters carefully for weeks, and one of them weekly for four months, and it still wasn't enough. Those experiences left us anxious about traveling again and shrank our hopes to one thing: that our dogs would simply be safe.Ari's care went far beyond keeping them safe. Carter & Ares were happy, playful, affectionate & adore Ari. On top of all this, Ari a wonderful person. She is kind, flexible, humorous, and easy to talk to, and that warmth shows in how she cares for the dogs. Since coming home, both our dogs clearly miss her, which is a first. It means so much to know that when we go on vacation, they get a vacation of their own with the fun and care they deserve. We have finally found the person we can trust with our dogs.”

“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!”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Nancy is an incredibly kind woman who loves animals and I was so grateful for her watching my whole crew. She was accommodating and her house and yard are perfect for animals to run and explore. I would highly recommend Nancy as a pet sitter and feel very grateful for having the chance to use her this past weekend.”
About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.
“Amanda was terrific when we boarded our cat with her for a few days while we moved into our new house. She texted us every day with updates and also took some photos for us. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, when I started my own small pet sitting business. Since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with a variety of animals. I’ve stayed overnight at clients’ homes multiple times to make sure their pets felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or giving lots of love, I take pride in providing attentive and reliable care. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is walking dogs. Walking is a huge part of my daily routine! As a teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I'm free before 8 AM, which makes me available for early morning walks or check-ins—perfect for starting a pet’s day on the right foot. My workday ends by 3 PM, so I’m available for afternoon visits, feedings, walks, or overnight stays during the week. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate 100% of my time to pet sitting or extended stays. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I start by carefully reviewing any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any specific habits or preferences their pet has. I make sure to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and provide regular updates to the owners, including photos and messages, so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I take my role seriously and treat every pet like my own.
About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.
“We had a good experience leaving Akira with Ethan for 5 days. It was our first time boarding Akira and so I was a little nervous. But Ethan made the process easier. He was very prompt to respond to messages and kept sending pictures through the day which was nice. He was also very flexible and understanding with change in drop and pickup times.”
“Diego is a great pet sitter. He is very much in tune with dogs and they recognize it right away. Diego is calm, caring and is a true dog lover. It was a pleasure to deal with Diego on so many levels. He is very punctual, attentive to details and responds promptly to texts/calls. I was getting regular updates from Diego while my dog stayed with him and I could tell that my pup was in very good hands! Don't hesitate to hire Diego to watch your pet, he is the best! Olya.”
