“Ashleigh took very good care of our dog and cat. We really appreciate her daily update, photos of our babies and thoughtful card. We will definitely ask her for help again. Thanks Ashleigh!”
About: I have around five years of practical experience in providing dependable care for pets belonging to friends and family members. My pet experience includes walking, bathing, arranging meal times and treat routines, as well as enjoying quality time with them while their owners are away, sometimes for weeks at a time. Therefore, I feel quite confident in my ability to care for any dog for extended periods. Plus, I genuinely love going for daily walks every morning, and dogs always manage to bring a smile to my face. Since I'm on break, I'll be free Monday through Saturday, 5 days a week. What hours work best for you will work best for me! I will always review the guidelines given by my client for house-sitting or dog-walking services, and I will make sure to follow any additional instructions to a T. When I first meet a cat or dog, I take the time to understand the animal's temperament, checking for any signs of anxiety or specific likes and dislikes. I care a lot in ensuring that the pets feel secure when around someone new. After that, I simply enjoy spending time with them, hoping that they will grow to appreciate my company too!
“Ashley was amazing!! This was our first time using rover so we were a little nervous to have someone stay at our home with our pup but Ashley made this a stress free, reassuring experience! She came over beforehand to meet our dog and ask questions. Once we were gone, she had great communication, sent pictures of our dog, and left a note letting us know how the boarding went at our house. We strongly recommend her! Thank you again, Ashley!”
“Grace took care of our 2 high maintenance dogs while we were visiting family over the holidays and they were in excellent hands. Communication and flexibility about timing and our pups’ needs was superb. We could not have been more relaxed knowing our furbabies were being lovingly cared for. Would definitely book with Grace again!”
“Katie stepped in super last minute after our other sitter cancelled and saved the day! She was communicative, smart, kind, and took excellent care of Bear. Katie followed directions, sent great photos, and I could tell she really cared for our little guy. We would love to have her house sit for us again. I would Very highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I recently had to say goodbye to my 18-year old dog. My nickname is Snow White since animals are always drawn to me. I am looking for opportunities to house/pet sit October-January in Healdsburg, Windsor, and Santa Rosa. I work full-time in Healdsburg, 9-5, and am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends, October-January. I am well-versed in administering medication to dogs and cats. I love dogs and cats and have a lot of experience in caring for animals of all ages. Happy to take dogs on walks and love to send photos of your fur babies while staying with them.
“As always, amazing experience. Linda adores Alisha and Alisha adores Linda. We goto vacation worry free and come back knowing she is well taken care of. She is leaves the house clean and we feel safe leaving the house with her.”
“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”

“Dorothy is the best! The moment Dorothy walked in the door, she demonstrated a calm and professionalism that was comforting to us. Having someone in our home that is unknown to us is very uncomfortable. We never felt uncomfortable with Dorothy. Dorothy treated our peta with respect and was attentive to their needs. Dorothy is also a very respectful visitor, cleaning after herself and treating our home like her own. Dorothy also sent great pictures of the fur babies during her stay. We will be repeat customers. Thank you Dorothy!”
About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friends’ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog is unique and that each dog has different needs. I am familiar with dog CPR. I am no stranger to administering medication to dogs. I am free after 4pm on Monday-Friday. On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks! I can stop by at your home to check in on your furry friend(s) and make sure that they have plenty of food and water in their bowls, as well as give them ample time to go to the bathroom prior to completing the check in. I can provide 30 min-1 hour walks, or stimulate/play with your dog(s) for 30 min-1 hour in the safety of your home yard or nearby dog park.
“Amy is a delight! She was super communicative from day one, before even starting the housesit. She made sure that she understood each of our elderly cats' needs, and anything that needed to be done around the house (like mail and trash) before we left. Once we were on our trip, Amy communicated regularly, sending pictures and updates, and even came up with a brilliant idea for getting our stubborn cats to take their medicine. We were able to vacation without worry, and came home to happy cats. We will hire Amy again!”
About: I have had a dog or two most of my life. Growing up we had Maltese & Golden Retrievers. I even had my Golden, Beau, in college at UCSB. My husband & I miss our two St Bernards, Donner(220 lbs) & Sierra (185 lbs). Our Eskipoo, Marley lived to be 20 1/2! We got our Laboradoodle Sirlancelot when he was a puppy 5 years ago so Marley had a companion during his last years. Lancelot will walk with us if you want him to join us! Dogs are always invited to our home when friends stop by or when we have dinner parties! People always say, " dogs just are drawn to you!" I often foster doggies. For some reason they come to our back door and want to stay with us. I would love to meet your doggies!! Life is better with dogs! We have a fenced in backyard and live close to dog parks and many walking and hiking trails. I can crate your pup if required. We discuss your needs and create a custom plan for your dog’s care. I enjoy helping train your pup & have had many years of experience with senior doggies. I multitask working on the Rover app and Task Rabbit app. My schedule is flexible and dogs are in my daily routine. I typically have at least one doggie with me! We have a a fenced in front yard & large beach in the backyard. I'm happy to crate your dog if requested.I l listen to you & care for your fur babies accordingly.
About: I love animals and can feel their character :) so will treat and care for them based on their personalities. What they need is warmth and love from us, and responsible, attentive supervision :) I grew up with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds, in my home, and also continued to own and care for pets as an adult. I have extensive experience caring for special-needs dogs and pets that are navigating illness. My own dogs had health issues which required a significant amount of special attention and care, which taught me a great deal about how to provide for them. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. I am always happy to take a break and take your dog for a walk or come and check on it. The fresh air and exercise is good for both of us! I care for pets with love because they have the right to be happy too :) and Iwill follow your house rules, play safe and have fun with them. I am a very responsible, conscientious person, and hold the well-being of your animals as my highest priority. I will follow your guidance and rules with diligence.
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a passion for animals, and animal care. I genuinely love working with them, dogs are my strong point, and I have years of experience as well as have some training under my belt. I also am experienced in handling reptiles and large livestock! 🥰 I also wanna state that I can and am always willing to help out, however I do have a job I work Monday through Friday during the early afternoon to evening, so usually anything after 4 or 5pm works for me best! I work part time at a dealership in Santa Rosa, so I do have a lot of free time! I don’t mind over nights, and I don’t mind early mornings if need be! I’m very flexible with my schedule! Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to accommodate your requests! I am very trustworthy, and since I love all animals I will always go above and beyond to treat your fur-babies like royalty! Animals are so important to me, sometimes I enjoy their presence more than people! I have experience in the veterinary technician field and all my friends and family say I am great with animals. Usually pets or animals come up to me when they don’t like others! I would treat your fur-babies as if they were my own, ALWAYS!
“Lilith was an amazing pet sitter! She watched our dog and home while we were gone. She sent us little text each day with updates and photos and was just such a kind person. We would definitely recommend her and would work with her again!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Woodleaf walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Woodleaf maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Woodleaf choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
