“Madilynn is AMAZING!!! Her communication was perfect! She was so prompt, so friendly and so professional!!! Never once did I worry about my pooch! She kept me fully informed with her visits and gave a great report on how he was doing! I cannot thank Madilynn enough for everything that she did!”
About: I grew up with an abundance of animals; 4 cats in one home and 3 dogs and 1 cat in another. I helped care for a roommates dog in college and now have my own kitty! I do have a full time job, so any daytime visits Monday - Friday will be harder to accommodate. Not impossible, I just may need more notice to make sure I am able to give your pet the care it deserves! I am generally free after 3pm weekdays and all day on weekends. I will follow all of your instructions and best practices for caring for your pets in your home. I take into account each animals specific personality, likes and dislikes, and owners preferences to ensure the best experience.
“Our first experience with Rover couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to Dezarae! We really appreciated the updates and pictures every time she checked on our turtle & elderly cat while we were on vacation. They both seem to warm up to Dezarae quickly and we'd highly recommend using her to pet/house sit! We'll definitely be asking her to come back whenever we leave town from now on!”
“Emily is a true lifesaver!!!!!! She is always flexible and so kind to me and my furrbabies!!!! We will be working with her soon again for my human baby on the way <3”

“Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!”
About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time - three days a week - but am still able to dog-sit during those parts of the week as well. Fridays-Mondays I can be present most of the day and will only be gone 4 hours at a time. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested. Just a quick heads-up! For privacy reasons, I’m only able to accept bookings in homes without indoor cameras. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary!
About: IMPORTANT NOTE: I am a teacher, so I work from 7am to 4pm. I’ve been dog sitting for many years, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personality types. Whether it's a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, my main goals are simple: keep your pet happy, give them plenty of love, and make sure they get great exercise! As a school teacher, I have a very predictable routine that works wonderfully for pet care! My schedule makes it super easy to take on dog walks and drop-in visits before school (5:00 AM – 6:30 AM) and after school (4:00 PM or later). My availability opens up significantly during school breaks and throughout the summer! I always ask owners for detailed notes on food restrictions, meds, routines, and house rules so I can provide the exact care your pet is used to. I also build my schedule entirely around your pet’s needs—if they’ve been home alone during the day, I make sure to spend my evenings right there with them. (Bonus: I’m always happy to bring in the mail or care for your houseplants while you're away!) I look forward to giving your dog the best experience possible! Important Safety Note: I have a severe nut allergy! I am more than happy to give your pup any nut-free treats, snacks, or medicine pockets you provide. Please just let me know in advance if your dog uses peanut butter or nut-based treats so we can use a safe alternative while I’m caring for them. Since I am a school teacher, my schedule is pretty consistent for morning, afternoon and evening care. In the morning (5:00-6:30 am) I love to get the day started by moving my body, dropping in to get the dogs fed, and making sure they're set up for success before my day begins. In the afternoon and evenings (4:00 pm onwards) I like to destress the day by making sure pets are getting exercise and time outside. I dedicate my time to extra activities, such as pet care. I aim to ensure that your pets receive focused attention, exercise, and companionship while their parents are away. On weekends and school breaks, I am more flexible to do longer walks, drop-ins, and housesitting/dog sitting appointments. I am also more available to do midday appointments. I prefer to stay at the client's home for ease of care and pet emotions. While in the home, I abide by the client's rules/desires listed before leaving. I also make sure to stick to their normal schedule as closely as possible. While staying at the house, I will happily take care of trash/recycling, mail, and house plants. Unless permission was granted beforehand, I don't let anyone into your home and enjoy the alone time with dogs.
“Remy is an amazing pet sitter. We hired her to do 2x daily drop-ins on our poodle while we were away for a 6 day trip. She was amazing with our dog, took him for walks, administered his medicine and gave him lots of love. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks Remy!!!”
About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and have always enjoyed taking dogs on walks, playing with them and caring for them! I am available starting at 8am and throughout most of the day. I have a very flexible schedule so can walk dogs in the morning, afternoon, and evening I follow the client’s instructions very carefully because every dog is different and every dog has different needs and I’m very adaptable. I always intend to make sure your furry friends stay happy and comfortable under my care.
“Thank you for the fast response and accommodating me last minute! Wonderful pictures and definitely made me at ease knowing that they are ok :) 10/10 will book again!”
“After meeting Lisa I immediately felt 100% comfortable having her come to our house and take care of our two Scottish Fold cats. She did an amazing job checking in on them, feeding, providing fresh water, caring for, and cleaning up after them. She touched base with me while we were away sending updates on the cats. After returning home the house looked great and the cats were happy! Thanks Lisa for giving us that peace of mind while we were away!”

Pet care and pet history is something I have spent many years delving into. B) I grew up taking care of all types of animals but began officially pet sitting about 10 years ago. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, snakes, Lizards, hermit crabs, and fish. I have also raised three litters of kittens. Every animal has their unique needs and personalities and I love getting to know each and every pet on a personal level.

I have the ability to give my attention completely to your furry or not-so-furry friends when we work together. I am comfortable with providing your pet's medication or care for injuries based on their personal needs. Any furry friends who enjoy hiking or long walks are always welcome to join me.

About: I am a native to Colorado and love the outdoors. Growing up, I had a house of large dogs (mastiff's, huskies, newfoundlands, golden retrievers, shitzu's and chihuahuas). I am very familiar with most large and small breeds and their needs. We have a 1 year old neutered Yorkie and he loves new friends. Our family loves animals and we would love to sit with yours, love on them, take them on our adventures (walks), cuddle with them, play with them and make them feel very comfortable . We will take care of your babies the same way I take care of mine. Our day starts out with potty time at 5:00am and have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go on a quick (20 min) morning walk. There will be lots of time to play and nap throughout the day before dinner at 5:00p.m. After dinner, we go on another evening walk and then call it an evening. The animals are like our family members and are able to nap and get comfortable where they see fit. I have a fenced yard with 1 small dog. We go on daily walks, car rides and have lots of toys throughout the house. I have several years of experience working with animals and your animal will be in good hands.

I’m especially available on my days off and weekends. I always follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and special instructions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Larkspur is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 9,188 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Larkspur. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Larkspur. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
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.
