“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Rosa and Kevin took great care of our pup, and sent regular photos and updates during his stay which we really appreciated as new dog parents! They also have an enclosed outdoor space for the pups to play, which was great.”
“Matt was patient and gentle with my senior dog, which was greatly appreciated. He kept in touch, was responsive and carried out my sleepy dog when I came to pick him up. I would definitely book Matt again!”
About: Warm dog mom to a 13-year-old dachshund! I provide a structured, fun, and cozy environment with potty breaks every two hours and plenty of walks I'm home full time as I transition to my next job in the Bay Area. I can help with overnight stays, walks and general dog care! In my home, I provide a structured, cozy, and safe environment for pets. I have a small patio with no escape route, ensuring a secure outdoor space. When walking dogs, I’m highly aware of my surroundings to keep them protected at all times. I do not crate my own dog, but I’m happy to do so if that’s your preference. Every pup in my care receives the same love and attention my dog gets, regular potty breaks, and plenty of blankets to make them feel at home!
About: Although I have never owned a dog myself, I have several years of experience caring for family dogs. My sister has had a dog since 2016, and my mom got a dog in 2023. I regularly help care for them when my family is out of town, including feeding them on schedule, providing fresh food and water, taking them on walks, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. While I do not have extensive pet-sitting experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with patience, love, and responsibility. I would be grateful for the opportunity to care for your furry friend and appreciate the trust you place in me. I am a full-time student during the weekdays and a mom to a 6 six year old girl who also loves dogs. I am available in the evenings to take your dog on a walk. I am also available anytime on the weekend to board your pup or to take them for walks. I make sure dogs are safe and comfortable while in my home and I let them lead their walks. I keep them on a secure leash at all times, pay attention to their surroundings, allow them time to sniff and explore, and make sure they release enough energy without getting them overtired.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced caretaker with years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs through every stage of life - kittens as young as 2 weeks old, senior cats with special needs, energetic pups who love adventure, and mellow dogs who prefer relaxed walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort zones, and I tailor my care to match their needs. I genuinely enjoy daily walks and neighborhood exploring, whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventurous hike. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I only take on one client at a time, allowing me to provide truly one-on-one care and give each pet my undivided attention, companionship, and affection.Whether your kitty is playful, your pup is energetic, or they’re somewhere in between, I’m here to give them the care they deserve. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s dropping in for a visit, taking your dog out for a walk, or spending extended time with your cat, or caring for your dog in my house, I can easily fit their care into my daily routine. If your kitty prefers company, I’m happy to work from your home so they’re not alone, perfect for cats who like a little extra attention (or supervision!). Caring for neighbors’ pets fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m always glad to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent updates while you’re away. I only take on one client at a time, so I can give your pet my full attention and provide the personalized care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your cat at home or taking your dog out for a walk, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any instructions you provide closely: feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, favorite toys, or preferred spots. I know how important consistency is for pets. 🥰 For drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get the attention they need during that time- play, cuddles, quiet companionship, a clean litter box, or fresh food and water. For dogs, that can also mean a refreshing walk to stretch their legs and explore. If I’m staying in your home, I keep their environment calm and familiar while also respecting your space.
“Sachiko and family were so good with our dog Lois, and would highly recommend them! We could tell she was getting lots of special attention from the photos & videos shared while we were away. Sachiko made things really easy in terms of communication and coordinating too. We are lucky to have found them, and will be bringing Lois back in a few weeks for her next stay!”
“Siena is a wonderful host, with a warm and comfortable home. On a quiet street with a large yard. Without pets of her own, and only taking one family at a time, our two dogs were showered with attention and affection.”
“Another wonderful stay for my dog :) He's so taken care of and relaxed every time he's with Matthew and Bryant. They go on great walks and I get lovely pictures.”
About: I have always grown up with pets in the house! I’ve also sat a variety of animals, breeds and temperaments. Always been a big animal lover! I currently have a very flexible and open schedule. I love being active and outdoors and always love to have a pet companion for that! I’d like to make the client as comfortable as possible, adhering to what they want for their pet and their environment. Obviously welcome animals into my home with lots of love and care.
“1000000/10 I’ve never felt more confident and comfortable leaving my guy with someone! He had a few accidents and they were completely professional in the way they handled it. Could not recommend more”
“This was our 7 month old puppy's first week away and she had the best time. Nadya was attentive and helped Winnie adjust to the other pups in the house. Nadya even walked Winnie and made sure she was enjoying her time. Nadya sent photos daily.”
“Orrya did a beautiful job of caring for our two pups! With regular updates and photos, we felt connected to them while far away. We are so grateful to have had her take care of them!”
About: I’ve had small dogs since I was little, but I rescued my soul dog, Leica, from Muttville in 2017. Over the years, I administered lots of cheese pills and brushed the few teeth he had. We went on lots of adventures from the office to the beach and mountains. Unfortunately his last 6 months were fraught with a neurological disorder. I believe it’s a honor to care for senior dogs and keep them comfortable as a small return of the love they given. While it was a honor, it was not easy and it gave me a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs. I love all dogs but the little old ones are extra special to me ❤️ Any dog or cat I care for, I will do so with 100% attention, love, respect for them and your home, and routines. Because I really do care so deeply about their health and safety, I will not be caring for more than one pet at a time. And of course as a long time Rover customer, I know clear communication and photos are essential. Looking forward to meeting you, your pet, and happy to answer any questions you have! And feel free to call me Katie ☺️ Currently working remote so I can flex my day more or less to your dog’s walk and feed routine. Usually around 8:30, 12:30, and 5:30. We’ll relax or play in the evening depending on their temperament. I have no other pets and many options for areas of my apartment where they can be set up to feel at home. No backyard but very close to the park. Up three flights of stairs but happy to carry smaller dogs if that’s what they need. I also still have a dog stroller for less mobile friends! For their safety I won’t ever let them off leash.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Larkspur is $75
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Larkspur
Karen is amazing! After our meet and greet my dogs were so excited to be back at her place! She is so thoughtful and considerate of what is best for the dogs. My dogs were so happy to be there and came back calm and happy! I can tell they are getting a lot of love while staying with Karen!
We had such a great experience with Alisa! She was very communicative and took wonderful care of Maverick. Her whole family welcomed him in and gave him lots of love and attention. We felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Annelies & Marcos are amazing! You'd be very lucky to have your pup stay with them. Annelies was easy to coordinate with, for connecting on details and drop off. They understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog behind on vacation, and were so communicative and shared lots of photos, so I felt well updated and could relax, knowing everything was going well. They ensured my pup had lots of outdoor time, walks and even a day at the beach, followed by a bath! If they are available, run, don't walk to book with them. You will be relieved and your dog will be well taken care of and loved like their own.
Deborah took such good care of our senior pup. He has a lot of specific needs and she took them on without any issues. It's challenging to find a sitter willing to do that. He did great in her care and we will be absolutely booking with her again the next time we go out of town.
Our little Kodi is a rescue dog who can be anxious in new situations, needing lots of reassurance and a tender-hearted caregiver, which is exactly who Ashley is. She made a safe haven for our anxious pup and he was in heaven, being pampered with complete and utter attention at all times. She also was in constant touch with us, supplying multiple updates and photos every day during the boarding, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We cannot recommend Ashley enough, and we are thrilled to have found her for our little Kodi and are honored to recommend her pet sitting services!
Rosa and Kevin took great care of Lulu. Lulu ate some garbage. They took Lulu to an emergency veterinarian and had her stomach pumped. probably saving Lulu much discomfort or serious inflammation/internal injury. These people have earned our maximum respect, for caring for their boarder. We would recommend them to other Rover boarders.
Halee took such loving care of our Frenchie Avocado! She was very communicative the whole time, sending updates and photos which we loved. Location is very convenient, and her space is great for dogs; also close to several places to run around and socialize. Highly recommended!
Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our little guy, George. She made sure he was eating on time and walked him as needed. He came home with a few more pounds, which is excellent, since is a picky little eater, so that was magical and excellent! We highly recommend her services, and we will be back for more!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Larkspur is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $133 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Larkspur can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Larkspur home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Larkspur.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Larkspur sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
