About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I currently have 5 of my own dogs, my oldest we have had for 8 years. I used to work at a dog rescue and I currently work at a kennel, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I work full time at a dog kennel in Petaluma and days that are grayed out I am available after 5:30 pm for visits or walks. I have experience fitting collars and harnesses to all sized dogs for their safety. I also know how to safely and properly use e-collars, prong collars, muzzles, martingales, and gentle leaders. I have a reactive dog myself, so I know how to keep dogs safe in environments that may make them uncomfortable.
“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”

About: Hello, my name is Lisa, and I adore dogs! I have had many fur babies over the years and I currently have one dog, a female, Ebony, who I adopted from a dog rescue in Sacramento nine years ago. I also have a kitty, Venus, who is also female, is 13 years old and is also a rescue. I recently took some time off to care for my mother, hence the gap in my service here at Rover. When you entrust me with the care of your dog, you can rest easy knowing that I will care for them as my own❤️. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your dog(s)! Here’s a little history about me and my experience with dogs, cats, horses, goldfish and mice. I have been an animal lover since a very young age, when I had a pet mouse and a goldfish. I then convinced my mom to adopt a cat, which I named Bilbo. I loved him so much. When I was in junior high, we adopted a sweet dog we called Tonka. I then fell in love with horses, and my mom bought me a horse, who I loved very much. I participated in Future Farmers of America in high school and I am a former volunteer dog walker for the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter. I have a 13-year old female domestic short-haired cat named Venus, and an eight year old terrier named Ebony. Both are very sweet, and Ebony gets along with every dog she's ever met. We live in the M Section of Rohnert Park where we enjoy taking long walks together. I have a nice-sized, fenced back yard with plenty of room to play. I have previous experience as a dog walker at the Rohnert Park animal shelter. I can't imagine a life without animals in it, and I will take special care of yours. My schedule varies week to week, depending on my work schedule, and I am generally available in the evenings and weekends unless I am out of town. On the weekends, I enjoy walking and hiking with Ebony, gardening, and kayaking. My pets are family, and they sleep with me. They also lounge and nap on my couches. I have a lot of toys and a nice backyard which is fenced. Your dog(s) will feel right at home here!

“Amanda was great. I needed a last minute dog walker as I was leaving for a work trip and she was immediately responsive and was able to connect with my neighbor to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using her in the future, as needed, and would highly recommend.”

“Blake is so good with our two young, high strung dogs. On the days they go on walks with her, they are so much happier when we get home from work and behave much better after getting some energy out during the day. Blake is patient, kind, communicative and trustworthy. Thank you ❤️”

About: I have been walking dogs everyday for most of my adult life! I know how important it is for dogs to have daily exercise for physical and mental health. I am newly retired and ready to have fun walking your dog. My schedule is very open and I can even walk your dog on weekends. I have experience with all size dogs and personalities. Let me know what your dog enjoys most on walks and I can do the same.
About: Hello! My name is Lexie, and I have been pet sitting for over 10 years now. Growing up, I was always surrounded my dogs of all breeds, and love to love on them as if they were my own! Your pup will be in extra great hands with me, as I work from home (my husband as well) and can give them all the love and attention they deserve. I have a dog, Milo, who is a 5 year old Kerry Blue Terrier (but looks like a doodle). He is a rescue, and the sweetest boy, with lots of energy for friends. We have a lot of time to take walks, snuggle, and get in play breaks in our fenced yard. I am also flexible enough to go to your home to take care of your animals as needed. I hope to watch your pets and meet you soon! :) I currently own a small business and work very flexible hours from home! I am available every day of the week for drop ins and boarding! If you're curious about specific dates, please send me a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. The entire backyard is fenced in at our home, creating a safe environment for your pets to be in. The safety and well-being of all animals is very important to us, and there will always be someone home with them and looking after them here at our home!

We love Marianna! She is sweet, caring, and helpful. We had inspectors coming to the house and had to have her go through the back, she was very kind and understanding. Our dog loves going out with her and he’s always super happy after their walk. We highly recommend her!
