“Ciana and family are wonderful, welcoming, & loving furry friends. I was sent photos of my baby while I was away, this helped me know she was happy and was in good hands. All of my suggestions for care were used to better facilitate a good experience. My baby is blind, deaf and 15 years old, she needs to be watched closely and at all times while active, not an easy animal to board. Ciana food wonderfully, I have already booked another boarding appointment with her. I highly recommend Ciana.”
“My dog Zazu had a great time with Ashish! Great communication and lots of pictures of my dog having fun. Would definitely recommend Ashish and will continue to bring my pets in the future!”
“We are so lucky to find Cymantha to watch our Archie. The meet/greet went well. She really knows a lot about dogs. Cymantha was helpful, replied in a timely fashion and was great to work with. Archie's overnight was successful. Definitely will contact Cymantha again, when needed. She is wonderful.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Toby Dustin we really appreciate it! Great land, kind family, low key group of dogs. Perfect fit for our boy. Looking forward to a longer stay coming up! Thanks again.”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
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!
“Nadine and her husband provided excellent care for our little boy! We were put at ease and had great communication with Nadine with nice picture and video updates during his stay! Will definitely look to her for dog sitting services for future travel!”
“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!”
“I can not say enough about how amazing Brianna and Alex are. My puppy had to have emergency surgery right before I left her with them, and they handled her detailed care plan and fragile state with such love and professionalism. They even taught me the trick of hiding her pills in mashed potatoes! They truly deserve ten stars!!!”
“Your dogs are gonna LOVE staying with Jacob & Shayla! They’ll have new friends to play with and come home all tuckered out! My 5 year old lab absolutely loves Jacob, it makes my heart happy knowing they are loved too. The boarding space that Jacob & Shayla have created on their farm is delightful and well thought out. I highly recommend them if you’re in the Sonoma/Petaluma area and need a loving space for your dogs. Side note- if you’re on Sniff Spot, they have an AWESOME space for your dogs to get some exercise while you’re traveling!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well.

“This was our first experience with Rover and we hit a home run with Channing. Her updates and photos confirmed Channing took great care of our sweet cat, Scout. Thank you, Channing!”
“This was the first time hiring a service to care for our cat. Ron was outstanding. He was able to adjust his schedule to accommodate caring for our cat “Kuma” while we are out of the country. His easy going and caring personality is very evident. We enjoyed his daily reports and photos and felt very at ease that he was caring for Kuma. We highly recommend him and the Rover service to care for your pet while you are away. Ron will be our first choice in caring for Kuma in the future. Thank you , thank you , thank you.”
“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.”
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: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I have cared for cats of my own, as well as those belonging to friends and family, and I have learned that every cat has their own personality and way of showing affection. I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, understand their habits, and make them feel comfortable in their own space. Whether they are playful, shy, or more independent, I provide patient, loving, and attentive care. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
“Kelly was incredibly with my kitty. I was out of the country and she made us feel extremely comfortable the whole time. My kitty is usually super shy but he warmed up to her immediately! The pictures everyday made me so happy and she went above and beyond by setting up a new litter box, playing outside with him, and ensuring that a paw he had injured was well taken care of.”
“Cathleen went above and beyond when she watched our house and kitty for 9 days. We returned to a spotless home, filled with great energy. It was a great feeling to return to a clean house after a long flight. Our kitty and plants are thriving, thanks to Cathleen’s help.”
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Gianna was an amazing sitter for our cat Eli while we took a short trip out of town. Always arrived promptly at the times to feed and take care of Eli and from the looks of the pictures, he got Cody with her very quickly!! We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She quickly earned their trust, played with them, sent the cutest pictures and successfully administered pills to one of the cats - which is no easy feat. We are so glad we found her and will hire Katie, without any hesitation whatsoever, for our future trips.”
About: I've had cats throughout my life and understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and way of showing trust. I'm comfortable with everything from playful kittens to independent or shy cats who need a little extra patience. I believe in letting cats warm up at their own pace while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'll treat your cat with the same love and attention I'd give my own.
“Julianna took good care of our kitty and helped in other ways while we were away, bringing up garbage bin and bringing mail inside. She was friendly and flexible. Will definitely ask her back!”
“Cassie took very good care of my cat. She shared pictures while I was gone which assured me that my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Cassie again if I need the service again.”
About: I love cats and treat every one like my own. I’m patient with shy cats and make sure they’re comfortable, cared for, and kept on their normal routine. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know your cat is doing well while you’re away.
“Kalei provided our nearly eighteen year old cat Milo (and equally old goldfish) with twice daily visits for two weeks, feeding and providing much appreciated brushing and loving attention to Milo. She even managed an ant invasion calmly and professionally. We were able to focus on our travels knowing by way of Kalei's regular updates and photos, that all was in good hands at home.”

“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!”
“Thanks for the urgent request! I planned everything for Napa trip but didn’t plan for the weather! It was sooooo hot and I’m glad my tour called my ahead of the time saying it would be too hot for doggies. So I had to text all daycare sitters at 11:30 pm and see their availability. Thanks god that Shayla was responding at that time and now I have Murphy by my side, happy and sleepy! I’m so fortunate to have searched Shayla! Thanks!”
“Our Dog lucked out by getting to hang with Robin and her family for a few hours during the holiday week. Robins dog Zuko is adorable and welcomed Maggie to share her couch - the ultimate compliment . Robin responds to messages quickly and sent great photos during Maggie’s visit. I highly recommend Robin !”

“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.

“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!”
“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!”
About: I absolutely love animals and I’m always excited to meet new little personalities. I work well with all sizes and ages, and I’m patient, calm, and consistent. I’m great with basic training, potty routines, leash manners, and socializing. I’m very loving but also structured, so your baby will feel safe and cared for!🫶🏻 I work during the week (about 8am–3pm) and I’m currently off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Outside of that, I’m usually home and available, so I’m still able to give a lot of attention and one-on-one care! I split my time between San Francisco and Petaluma on our family farm. It’s a calm, simple environment and it’s usually just me and my two-year-old, who is very gentle and used to being around animals. We spend a lot of time outside, going on walks, exploring, and just hanging out with the animals.
“Emma is incredible. Our dogs have stayed with her twice now and looking forward to more visits. Incredibly reliable, responsive, caring and keeps us up to date with the cutest pictures.”
“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!”
“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 also love that they only take one family's dog(s) at a time to hang out with their own dog Boots. Looking forward to using them again.”

About: I've spent years caring for my own pets, including senior dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I'm comfortable with puppies, shy dogs, counter surfers, herding breeds, and dogs who simply need alittle extra patience. Your pets safety, happiness, and routine always comes first. Please note: For Constant Care: If your pet needs someone home with them and cannot be left alone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, there will be an added constant care rate of $75 per day. I schedule my day around making sure they're fed, exercised, and given plenty of love. My job allows me to be very flexible with my time. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
“Mariah was super flexible with the busy long weekend and our pups were very well taken care of. They took to her right away and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”

Just like they were my own. I work for myself and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around what works best for you. Great at time management and super reliable. I prefer sitting at my clients homes and have extensive experience with housesitting alone. I have managed luxury homes and can offer extra things like plant watering, mail pickup, coordinating with staff, etc.

About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Jeanette was wonderful and Quinn seemed so happy! We received daily updates and photos. Quinn was in good hands, and I'm glad we found a place Quinn can enjoy when we're gone. :)”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
“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”
