“After a last-minute cancellation, I turned to Rover and found Krystal. She was incredibly accommodating on short notice, taking great care of my three noisy Chihuahuas while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and reassured me that they were doing well. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to Rover & Krystal in the future.”
About: Raised multiple dogs growing up, worked part time for a local dog sitting company as well personal clients for overnight dog sitting. All satisfied dogs and parents! My schedule is extremely flexible- so we are happy to host your pup even on short notice or in emergencies. As a dog parent, I understand that life happens! We have two incredible dogs that are friendly and love being around other dogs- we are happy to accommodate any and all of your dog needs- leash walking, yard, and crates as well! We both work in healthcare with alternating schedules. We will always have plenty of time and energy to give to your pet! Someone will always be available for their needs! In our house, pets are family. We also set basic boundaries for our dogs and the dogs we board. In our home, we expect our dogs to behave while inside- we will provide plenty of opportunities to get their zoomies out!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent the last year working as a veterinary technician, and worked alongside ranch dogs for two years before that. I am comfortable with dogs (plus cats and ranch animals!) of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My veterinary background also makes me comfortable with medications and specialty care. I really enjoy being able to get to know each pet’s unique personality! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I can accommodate different days and times whenever possible! I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions. My veterinary background has given me experience with pet first aid, medications, and special needs, as well as recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am always excited to meet and spend time with new pets!
“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Australia and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a rescue dog of my own. I have shelter volunteer experience in which I’ve been trained to handle a variety of dog breeds and temperaments. It would be my pleasure to take care of your dog as I would my own! I love to run also so feel free to request some extra speed on the walks for high energy pups! I work remotely as a software engineer with a flexible schedule. I’m usually busy with meetings early morning but after that I’m all yours! Weekends can be less predictable but happy to work in times with some notice. I’m a shelter volunteer so have been trained in how to create safe environments and identify risk factors. I will always put the dogs well being first and take on board all requests and advice from the owners.
About: I have owed dogs my entire life and as an adult have always had a dog that our household revolves around. My current dog is a high energy Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix so I do as many walks and hikes and training sessions as I can to wear him out each day. After a few walks he is more than happy to chill too if your dog is more laid back. I have a single family home in a quiet neighborhood in Corte Madera with a fenced yard. I take walks at least 3-4 times per day around the neighborhood and park a few blocks away and frequent longer hikes or dog park visits as appropriate. And playing in the back yard and lounging in the sun is also a favorite activity. My husband and two kids also live here and adore dogs but I will be the one providing care. I am not working right now but normally work remotely so have plenty of time to dote over the dogs we care for. We have a flexible schedule and can work around the pup’s needs. I have a secure fenced yard and plenty of space for them to play out there. We take many walks through the day around the neighborhood or on hikes around Marin.
About: My wife and I own our home and have large yard in sunny Corte Madera, about 15 miles north of San Francisco. I previously owned a veterinary hospital and pet boarding facility, so working with dogs is a life long passion of mine. Senior pets are welcome!!! I've had San Francisco (city) customers before, but mainly Marin County residents. Pups will have loving care around the clock. I’m retired and my wife works out of the house. Safe and secure environment with 24 hour monitoring. Secure fenced in yard with doggie door. Pups understand very quickly that we are there to take care of them and they feel safe and secure with us.
About: As a Marin County Native, I’m no stranger to the outdoors. Growing up I loved taking my dogs on long hikes, exploring the vast landscape of the Northbay. Professionally, I’ve been pet & house sitting for almost a decade. Primarily catering to a very private & discreet clientele, I am adept at managing long term or short term sittings under strict guidelines & conditions. When caring for dogs, I take them on two, 20 - 30 minute walks, one in the morning & one at night, as well an hour long dog park visit. Each dog is different & requires a specific routine, many of my clients have special requests, that are happily accommodated upon request. When sitting a clients residence, I provide quality care to all pets. Additionally, my policy is to leave the space better than I found it.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️
“Gage was the perfect match for our new puppy Ash. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very comfortable with Ash. We’re lucky to have found him and will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you ? Ash is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Alaina had great communication with us, and was obviously invested in our pup’s well being ! She used the hour to its fullest potential which we really appreciate- Some drop ins can be a waste of time/money but Alaina was well worth it and made our puppy happy. Excited for our pup to have a new friend :)”
About: Dogs are like us in a way. They appreciate good company. I love to hike on weekends. If your dog likes the beach, we can go there too. Some dogs lean into a slower pace and short walks. I’m here for all of it. The important thing is that your pet is happy. My experience ranges from 15 to 90 lb. breeds of all ages. I’m excited to meet you and yours. Dogs were always a part of my family as a child. My pet sitting experience ranges from 15 to 90 lb. breeds of all ages. I've helped owners with crate training and acclimating young pets to voice recall. I’ve also helped support owners with senior dogs find creative ways to brighten their pup’s day to day lifestyle. Please say hello and let me know how I can help. I'm fortunate to work from home. Your dog and I get more time to enjoy each other's company. It also makes it easier for us to spend more time outdoors and less time commuting. I love to hike on weekends and bring a dog with me. If your dog likes the beach, we can go there too. I'll even make fresh dog-friendly food for your pet with your approval. I’m excited to meet you and yours.
About: Throughout high school, I would help dog-sit for family friends. I was very reliable and able to help feed, walk, and play with their animals. I also cared for coworkers' animals when they were gone for vacation, and I was entrusted with keeping their living space clean. Growing up, I had four large dogs: 2 labs and 2 boxer mixes. I work as a vet assistant, so I have hands-on experience when it comes to administering medication. I currently work part-time as a vet assistant, so I have a lot of free time on the days I don't go in, giving me plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I'm available most days throughout the week; just reach out! I like to go in and make it seem like I was never there. Simply do what is asked of me and leave without causing any disturbance. When it comes to the fur babies, I like to care for them as if they are my own and treat them like my own pets. I'm more than happy to help tidy up any place as well.
About: I’ve always loved all animals, but dogs have truly become my heart and my passion. I’m lucky to share my life with two beautiful pups of my own, and with over ten years of experience caring for dogs of every personality and breed, I’ve fallen in love with treating each one as family. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely cherish! Thank you for considering me. I am currently open any day of the week which is quite unique for me! And want to spend every moment helping animals and their owners. Lots of cuddles (as much as they allow me lol) and outdoor activities - typically atleast two walks per day and more if weather permitting! However weather never has stopped me from walking in nature with them if that’s what they enjoy! I take care of the home like I do my own and treat your fury children just like I do my babies! Spoiled :)
“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”

About: Welcoming all furry friends! See below for a bit about what to expect: - I live and work remotely from my Mill Valley home. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so have plenty of extra time to dedicate to your pup! - I live in a home just a few short blocks from the park, with a variety of dog friendly places within walking distance. 5-10 minutes away from amazing hiking trails, so there is quite a bit to see and do. - i’m extremely active (typically run every morning, and often head out on long hikes or day trips over the weekend), so am more than happy to wear your pup out running or playing if it's something they enjoy. Also able to just provide tons of love and company for senior dogs or those that prefer a more lazy agenda! - Extensive experience in pet care: I raised my 3.5 year old golden retriever from puppyhood, grew up with dogs, I’ve been dog sitting via Rover for years, volunteering at rescue centers, etc. You're in good hands! - I have an SUV for beach trips, hikes, or providing any pick up/drop off necessary! Just let me know if you need help with coordinating a pick up or drop off with your dog before or after your trip. Please reach out at any time to my via text or phone! Always happy to provide frequent updates and additional pictures! I have my own pup who typically requires a decent bit of exercise, but willing to accommodate your dog’s personal schedule! Living on a park makes it easy to accommodate frequent bathroom trips. I treat all pets like part of the family! Regular interaction, cuddles, tricks, treats, and training when desired. I like to make sure we all head out on minimum one long walk per day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Corte Madera
Grace was absolutely awesome in caring for my ill cat, Stella. She fed Stella in small bits, made sure she drank (and used the litter box.) Of equal, or more, Grace made sure that Stella was comfortable. She sat with her, snuggled her, took her out back with supervised visits. Stella was in very good shape each time I came home, which has not always been the case in the recent past. In the meantime, Grace developed a lovely relationship with my 11-year-old dog who is full of beans and wants all the attention all of the time.I needed someone to stay with Stella while I was away from the home for larger chunks of time. I couldn't leave Stella for more than a few hours, so Grace filled in and visited with her during those periods. Grace checked in with me regularly, was extremely attentive to Stella's needs, followed all instructions. I was very comfortable having her in my home, and caring for my medically fragile cat. I will hire her again. She is amazing!
Megan is great with my shy kitties. They've warmed up to her after only 2 bookings. She even found and cleaned up the places where one of the cats threw up. I didn't think to mention where the cleaning supplies were. She also suggested something to give cats help with hairballs. She clearly knows and cares about cats. For the reports, she always takes lots of photos and lets you know how your cats are doing. I feel confident my cats are well taken care of when Megan is cat sitting.
I've been so lucky to find someone who understands my sometimes fearful/reactive senior rescue dog. Marielle is so kind and did all the right things to make introductions with my dog a positive experience for her. There are very few other people I would trust to take my 65 pound shepherd/bully mix out on a walk and not have to worry. Having another person I know Winnie trusts makes life so much less stressful when I have busy weeks at work, and Winnie is so happy to have a new friend to hang out with.
We’re very happy with the care Anjali provided for our kitties while we were away. She was responsible, reliable, and very loving with them. She sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. At one point, I reached out to her because I needed her to check something specific with their litter box and automatic feeder, and she responded right away and took care of it. Communication was great throughout, and we felt very comfortable knowing our kitties were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Erin stepped in on a few hours notice and di a wonderful job of keeping my neurotic poodle company and entertained. She was prompt, responsive, resourceful, and such a pleasant young woman to work with! I'd ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat!. Dr. Wendy Everett

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Corte Madera is $37 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $61 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,290 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Corte Madera. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Corte Madera. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
