About: For $20 off your first Rover sit, click this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kathrk79757 Hi, I’m Kathryn, a transplant from the East Coast with a special love of animals. I say special because I was never allowed to have pets growing up so, for the past several years, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve cared for spry and senior dogs, aloof and engaged kitties, tailoring my efforts to each one’s specific needs. Whether you need someone to walk and play with your pooch or be a loving companion to your furry friend when you can’t be there, I’ll slip seamlessly into their routine, minimizing disruption with snuggles and attention. My “leave no trace” approach means that you’ll return to a house in pristine condition, with sheets and towels laundered, the bed remade, the vacuuming done, etc. so you can enjoy a carefree reunion with your pet. I believe that my professionalism and caring, detail-oriented methods set me apart. I’ve traveled the world to care for peoples’ cats and dogs while their owners are away, regularly returning to a community in France where my network has grown organically through word of mouth recommendations. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me hiking on one of the many majestic trails this region has to offer or engaging in creative pursuits like jewelry making and design. As a freelancer and entrepreneur, I have a fluid schedule which allows me to shift directions quickly and effectively. I prefer this method of operating as I seldom have a dull moment during the day. I’m proud to have the trust of many repeat clients who praise my reliability and the bond I have with their pets. I know how important peace of mind is so regularly update my clients with photos, videos and messages.

“I needed someone to come walk my pup last minute on the 4th of July and Edward responded immediately. He was responsive and accommodating (changed the start time of the walk by an hour). He showed up on time and did the hour walk and sent some cute pictures:) will definitely be contacting Edward again!”

About: I’ve grown up loving animals and currently care for my own cat. I have pet sit and dog walked for my family and friends. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I’m eager to learn and provide safe, loving care for your animals. I have plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available most evenings and weekends, and I’d love to spend that time giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I take safety seriously and will always follow your pet’s specific care instructions. I’m gentle and attentive, and I know how important it is to make your pet feel safe and loved in any environment. I’m also very tidy and respectful of your home.

“Olive absolutely loves her regular walks with Lisa. I appreciate how communicative Lisa is with us, and getting our photo updates of their excursions. Thanks for making Olive happy and her parents' schedules easier!”

About: I have the biggest heart anyone who knows me whenever I go to anyone’s house you can always catch me spending time with their animal, currently a dog walker and boarding dogs as well I’m currently working Monday - Friday and do daily pack walks and can bring a dog on leash for the hikes and I go to Jiu Jitsu Saturday morning from 11:30-1 and church Sunday morning at 9am but I make sure to get the dogs out before I come and go I like to make sure the dog gets at least 2 hours of outside walking per day and sometimes skate the dogs around to do extra tiring and or throw the ball I like to get them out for a morning walk about 30 min an hour walk in the middle of the day and 30 min and bring them with me when I’m out and about

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs and cats in-home for about 5 years part-time, but I was raised in a home that routinely took in stray and surrendered animals. I am a lifelong vegetarian and 10-year vegan with a deep love for all creatures. In addition to caring for animal companions, I like to leave homes better than I found them. Whenever possible, I do some light housekeeping so that when folks return from their trips, they come back to happy animals and a cozy home where they can just put their bags down and crawl into a bed! PLEASE NOTE: Any requests (by folks I’ve never worked with before) to book additional time off of the Rover app will be declined. This is a safety issue for both parties — I do not enter strangers’ homes without safeguards and advise against folks needing pet sitting services to allow strangers into their home without safeguards. Rover is a means to provide that safety measure prior to establishing a trusting relationship. My posted rates are firm. I ask that folks not haggle or try to negotiate an initial pet-sit off of the app for a cheaper rate.

“Rachel was very prompt about responding and keeping me updated. My dog is usually wary around strangers but really enjoyed his walks and was really comfortable with Rachel!”

“Great first walk for Maddie! She can be a little particular about who she walks with. She had no qualms whatsoever about Lydia and couldn’t wait to walk with her!”

Bridget O.

“Chris is so great! Friendly, responsible and very professional. He is so sweet with our dog and takes her on wonderful walks. She comes back super happy and super tired.”

About: What sets me apart: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of skill, patience, and genuine love for animals. As a co-founder of an animal rescue, I’ve cared for pets in every situation imaginable — from scared pups fresh off the streets to lively, energetic dogs, shy souls needing time to trust, and sweet seniors requiring extra TLC. Special skills & experience: 🐾 Puppies & Kittens: From playful pups to bottle-feeding kittens, I’ve nurtured countless young animals, guiding them through important early milestones. 🐕 Senior Care: My current specialty is caring for senior dogs, including support for mobility or sensory challenges, gentler activities, and administering medication for age-related needs. ❤️ Medical Needs: I have extensive experience helping pets through surgeries and recovery, ensuring meds are given properly and comfort, plus recovery, is always top priority. 🌟 Behavior & Temperament: Years in rescue taught me how to patiently build trust with nervous or unsure pets, introducing them safely to new environments and other animals. Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are truly my passion. Whether you have a bouncing puppy, a mellow older friend, or a special-needs companion, I’ll tailor my visits and walks to their unique needs — always with kindness and care. I'm currently working or going to school part-time (depending on the season), so I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). My schedule allows for flexibility and I can help you come up with a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I’ll tailor my visits and walks to your pet's unique needs — always with kindness and care. I will also get to know your instructions clearly.

About: I'm back on Rover and excited to hang out with your fur babies! I'm currently a full time PhD student so all I do is study, study, study. Which means that I would LOVE the opportunity to break up those study hours with taking care of your dog! Play, walk, clean up after, you name it! I’m an enthusiastic hard worker, punctual, and very flexible. I grew up with dogs and have spent time volunteering with shelters back in Wisconsin as well as in Shelton, WA. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available early morning as well as late evening. When my friends go out of town I’m usually the one they call first to dog sit. Rates are flexible. I put in a number because I had to but I’m open to whatever you think is fair. Thank you for this opportunity! As mentioned above, I'm a full time student and my program is online which means I can study from anywhere which means that I can hang out with your pet or drop in to take care of your pet. My schedule is very flexible! Right now I am available to come by to feed, walk, clean up after, do meds...whatever your doggo needs. At this time I can't do overnight stays, but that may change. That being said, I'm an early riser so it's no problem to come by early in the morning or later in the evening to be with your pet. If your doggo needs snuggles, I'm your person! If your doggo needs to play, let's go! If your doggo just needs to nap all day...I totally get that. (Me too)

About: Growing up, I’ve always had an assortment of family pets, from fish, crabs, birds, and dogs. I’ve dog-sitted around town for my neighbors, family, and friends! Taking care of animals truly makes me happy! I’m currently a student at College of Marin and intern in Sausalito. I try my best to be flexible with your pups schedule and their needs. Please let me know what works best for you and your pups in advance! I would really appreciate knowing as much info about your doggo before taking care of them. Any medical, dietary, or physical concerns. If possible, I’d prefer to schedule an in-person meet up beforehand to connect with your pets. I love taking dogs out for fun hikes, runs, beach days, and dog parks adventures all around Marin. I try my best to make your pups as happy as they can be!

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

About: As a lifelong lover of animals, I can not think of a better way to fill my free time than to care for and hang out with your awesome animals! I’ve been caring for dogs, other pets, children (nannying , teaching, tutoring, etc) and homes for over 15 years. I have local and international references that are available for you to contact regarding my experience and quality of care for your furry friends. I am even happy to do some light housekeeping in your home. My daytime job as a nanny is flexible, so I’m available for daytime feedings, visits, potty breaks, playtime, and/ or walks. My partner Ben will be handling most communication and care for your pet while I’m at work (preschool teacher, 9-5 kind of schedule). He has open availability. Your pet might not have to be alone at all under our care! I would love to care for your dogs in my home! Due to my partners allergies I can’t have cats in my house, unfortunately. We have a spacious 4 bedroom home with 2 adults, no kids, no pets. We also have a spacious backyard that is fully fenced.

About: I have been house and pet sitting for over 10 years from young puppies to senior cats. I mainly do it for extra income and for family, friends and referrals. I love learning about your pet's personality and quirks! I am currently in-between jobs so I have extreme flexibility. I often take dogs for walks while their owners are at work. I love going for hikes and to the beach. However, I always tailor my services to the owner and pet’s preference. I often both pet and housesit when owners will be out of town. My flexibility, kindness, cleanliness and communicative nature has built trust with my clients over the years. I respect house rules and make your pet the priority. I know your home is your safe space, and that’s why before I leave your home I make sure everything is exactly how you left it so that you can come home and immediately relax. I’ve been told by clients things like “our home is cleaner than how we left it” and “it doesn’t even seem like you lived here for a day, let alone 2 weeks!”

“Zoe was soo awesome to work with and super flexible. She took such good care of Bentley and took time to learn about him before the walk. She took him to two places ti walk and sniff and checked in with me during the walk. She was on time and very responsive. Bentley came back from his walk so happy and so pooped (which is what he needed). I will definitely use Zoe again for a walk. She is a total delight.”
