About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. My family has had dogs of all sizes throughout my entire life, which has allowed me to learn how to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. My family and friends have trusted me with the care of their pets in the past as well. I also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, hedgehogs, rabbits, and even pigs. I'm available for boarding from 10 AM to 10 PM everyday except for Friday's (and the occasional Sunday). My availability will change in September when my university classes start up again. Making sure that dogs get to explore and sniff to their hearts content is very important to me, as its been found to make them feel more happy and safe. I also have a water bottle for dogs so they can stay hydrated on active and warm days. Ultimately, it's important to me that I respect your pets need for both attention and personal space.
About: I have always had a passion for animals especially dogs . In addition I have had experience with a lot of different breed's, ages and also size of dogs. I currently have two of my own one is a Dachshund / Shihtzu and the other is a Havanese / cavalier. I'm currently a stay at home mom to three wonder children so I have plenty of time and attention to take care of your fur babies. I currently live on an acreage so there are plenty of walks, play time and snuggles and can easily crate your dog if requested . While your dog is in my care, I will follow a consistent daily schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. Their day will include regular feeding times, walks, exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of rest and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines for dogs, so I will do my best to follow any specific instructions or schedules you provide. My goal is to make sure your dog stays happy, active, and relaxed throughout their time with me. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities while they are in my care. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your dog will always be supervised, exercised responsibly, and treated like family.

About: I am flexible with all my services, including house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I have several years’ experience with dog walking and house sitting (including drop-in style), and I am an athlete so I have the physical strength necessary to handle large dogs. I am currently a professional volleyball player so while I’m not overseas I really enjoy leaving space in my schedule to dog sit! I have completed an internship position at a wildlife rehabilitation facility (WildNorth) and have a degree in conservation biology, so I am very passionate about animals! Growing up with multiple pets, I learned early on how to appreciate and handle them. I have also raised and trained a puppy myself, and I’m an amateur training enthusiast. I would love to meet your pet and I hope you consider me for your pet care needs! I’m currently coaching volleyball part time so I’m typically free most of the time. The longest I typically would have to leave your dog alone is for 2.5 hours when I have a couple coaching sessions. I always communicate clearly what the expectations are for care, such as how your dog is on leash, if I need to watch for any escape artists, or any other concerns or quirks your dog may have!
About: As a 25 year-old animal lover, my pet care experience spans several years and encompasses a variety of responsibilities and interactions with different types of animals. I have grown up with pets in my household, providing me with invaluable hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, and exercising them. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which leaves me with plenty of availability for dog walks and pet care. My schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of walk times and drop-in visits throughout the week, and I am often able to be flexible to meet your pet's needs. As a provider of pet care services, ensuring safety, trust, and a positive environment is paramount in both my home and my clients' homes. 1. Safety: I prioritize the safety of pets by conducting thorough assessments of the environment to identify and eliminate potential hazards. This includes securing dangerous items, ensuring secure fencing or containment areas, and removing toxic substances from reach. I also maintain a keen eye on the pet's behavior and surroundings to prevent accidents or injuries. 2. Trust: Building trust with pets is essential for their well-being. I take the time to establish a bond with each animal through patient and compassionate interactions. This involves respecting their boundaries, providing consistency in care routines, and using positive reinforcement techniques to reinforce good behavior. By earning the trust of pets, I can ensure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. 3. Environment: Creating a positive environment is key to promoting the physical and emotional health of pets. I strive to maintain a clean, organized, and stimulating environment that meets the needs of each individual animal. This includes providing appropriate bedding, toys, and enrichment activities, as well as maintaining a regular feeding and exercise schedule. Additionally, I consider factors such as temperature control, ventilation, and noise levels to ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. Overall, my approach to pet care focuses on fostering a safe, trusting, and enriching environment where pets can thrive and receive the attention and care they deserve.

Rhonda has been watching my dog for over a year. She always takes such great care of him and is so flexible and accommodating. So lucky to have found Rhonda and her family that make my dog always feel at home whether it’s a play day or an extended stay I always know he’s in the best hands. Thank you Rhonda.
Kayla was an absolute gem during my two-week vacation. She coordinated seamlessly with my house sitter to ensure smooth pick-up times, and she was incredibly respectful of the safety guidelines I set—especially my request to avoid on-leash introductions between unfamiliar dogs. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me total peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog adored her! He was visibly excited every time she arrived, and their walks together were clearly the highlight of his day. Kayla will definitely be my go-to walker for any future needs, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. The Rover app was a fantastic companion tool throughout the trip. Even while I was out of the country, I received timely updates on each walk, complete with route details and adorable photos. It made me feel connected and reassured, knowing my pup was happy and well cared for. The combination of Kayla’s thoughtful service and the app’s transparency made for a truly stress-free experience.

There are 1,170 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Larkspur. About 87% of Larkspur sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Larkspur. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Larkspur.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Larkspur with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Larkspur 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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
