“Leonard was awesome to work with on all levels! He took care of my dog both as an in home sitter for overnight stay and for day sitting. He was extremely easy to work with as he would flex his hours everyday according to my schedule. My dog absolutely loved him! He took her to the beach and hiking and was always with her at home. He even bought her a toy on his last day which he let her select (not surprising that the toy closely resembles a squirrel :). Leonard also has a very pleasant and approachable personality - I would highly recommend him to take care of your dog. I look forward to Leonard and my dog reuniting on another stay!”
“Marisa took great care of Cody while we were away for a long holiday. She was communicative and responsive. Cody can get bored and itch himself and she let us know she'd keep an eye out for it. We felt at ease that Cody was in good hands!”
“Tyler G. did an excellent job walking my dog! He was very polite, prompt, dependable and kind. My dog enjoyed the walks Tyler took him on, and I could tell my shy dog really liked going with Tyler. Tyler spoke so nicely to my dog. followed the routine I asked him to, and he gave my dog pets and his dog treats. I highly recommend Tyler G. for caring for your pet’s needs. -Polly”
About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.
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.
“Carla was so helpful with my old dog Reggie! She responded so quickly and last minute as well. She communicated super well and was very great with Reggie. It was a huge relief knowing Reggie was in such good hands.”
About: I loves dogs. I have been lucky enough to own a few over the years, but circumstances have not let me as much as I would like (either because I traveled a lot, I rented and no dogs were allowed, or I have not been sure I could be there for them for 10-17 years as needed. Being a dog sitter and walker, I can give your dog the love I have and get outside and enjoy our wonderful locations with your dogs. I am recently retired and trying to determine my next move--which means right now, my schedule and availability are very open. I am hoping this will be a great addition to my days. I have 2 cats at this time--I feed them twice a day (dry food and wet) and clean their kitty litter on a regular basis. I also spend time with them (usually with them lying on top of me. My cats are ~12 years old. One cat needs medication every other day--and I give this to her. I also cut their nails whenever it is needed. I would take care of my client's animals how the client wants them cared for--I would feed them when they need it, walk them or play with them for at least a set amount of time, and I would respect their boundaries (I would not force myself on them--but I will not let them get out of control and chase other animals or people.). I love animals and always have--and they seem to know this.
“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”
“Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve take care of all kinds of pets since I was 5 years old. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for four years. I also have my own pets, who I adore. I am currently a graduate student and I also coach volleyball 2x per week. Becasue of my free (ish) schedule throughout the day, I love to take care of animals on my free time! I will carefully listen to the owners instructions, and give the animals the correct care they need. I can also help a little with training if it is necessary and of course dog walks.
About: (Pls. Note, I can’t take dogs that shed… sorry) I have always loved dogs. Over the years, I have fostered and walked rescue dogs, dog-sat many dogs. I'm proud to say my family (husband and 14 yr old) love dogs as well. When I care for dogs, I treat them like my own. They get lots of cuddles, a ton of attention and love. I work from home and need to leave the house sometimes for appointments, but overall I am around the house except for maybe 2-3 hours a day. I love walking each day so enjoy having a dog with me!

They are usually either on our couch, if allowed by the owner, or near us at all times.
About: While I was in high school my mom had a successful Rover business. I would help with bookings and taking care of the dogs. I consistently house sat & pet sit a cat in LA for about a year.

Making it easy for me to pay close attention and love to your house and pets. I follow all house rules and the needs of the pets. I will ensure the safety and happiness of the pet as well as leave the house in the condition it came in and all things are cleaned up.

Julie is one of our favorite, most dedicated volunteers. She is dependable, kind, obviously loves dogs and most importantly, they love her! One dog in particular literally flings himself into her arms! As soon as he hears her voice, we can hardly contain his excitement enough to get a leash and harness on him! Julie is an amazing volunteer, just imagine what an awesome employee she will be! Laura Cottingham”
