“Connor was amazing! Needed someone to walk our dog after a recent surgery, and he was everything you want in a dog walker: polite, punctual, and positive interactions with your pet. Our dog would get excited every morning when Connor would arrive and clearly appreciated his morning exercise with Connor. Would 100% recommend.”
“Marielle was great with our dog, Buddy, and such a help to both meet with me and take Buddy out on short notice. Great communication, highly recommend, and hope to have her care for Buddy again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life, from a three-legged Rottie named Goose, to Golden Retrievers, to Buster, a beloved mutt who loved long walks in the woods. I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and many happy clients, whether I was visiting them or they were visiting me. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, including walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, potty breaks, and everything in between. Many happy humans — according to their pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins never feel like an interruption — they are usually one of the best parts of my day. I’m active and outdoors often, so I’m happy to build my schedule around regular walks, longer outings when appropriate, and plenty of attention at home. I’m also comfortable with more detailed care needs, including medications, specific feeding routines, bathing, and keeping pets on the schedule they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or both, I like to keep things calm, consistent, and reliable so pets feel safe and their humans feel comfortable while they’re away. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and attentive. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, keep their spaces clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how things are going. My goal is to give each pet calm, reliable care and plenty of attention while their humans are away.
“Mari is AWESOME!!! Mari is the first dog walker I ever used. My dog is very needy and has his ways and routines. Mari adapted to his needs immediately. She is gentle. She loves to talk to my dog. (He understood everything she said.) She is conscious and in-tune with him. Mari put me at ease. (I’m a little overprotective of my pup.) I will use her again and again. I feel he’s safe with Mari and it gives me a feeling of relief. Thank you!”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort, treating every pet like a member of my own family. We are a warm, animal-loving family! My 8-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son adore pets, and we love spending quality time walking, playing, and giving them lots of affection. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and gentle companionship in a safe, loving environment! I have a very flexible daily schedule, which allows me to focus fully on pet care. Whether it is morning walks, mid-day playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and needs. Safety is my top priority. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and hazard-free environment for every pet. I strictly follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, and care. I also provide regular photos and daily updates for your peace of mind.
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!
“Krystle has been great with my dog, who hates walks without me. My dog is happy to see her come to the door and enjoy the walks. Krystle is always on time and responsive to the needs of me and my dog. I’m so happy I found her on Rover.”
“Cat is a top notch dog walker! She is very caring and attentive. She listened to our concerns and she is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors. I feel that she is a great communicator, and felt at ease having her take care of our dog. It is clear that Cat is a huge dog lover, and I am certain we will continue to book with her!”
“This last week, Isabel it has been a lifesaver for us and our two four legged children. Isabel was very compassionate and thoughtful with all the caring of our boys. We can't thank her enough for her amazing work!”
“Very quick response and accommodating to a last minute request. Walk + nail trim went very smooth. Glad I didn’t have to make an extra trip to the groomer. You can tell Nima greatly cares about animals and treats them like his own.”
About: I have years experience watching friends and families dogs as well as my own 8 year old pit bull. I love all animals and would love to spend time with your doggy :) I am available weekday nights after 6:00 pm and full day weekends Saturday and Sunday. On weekends I am available to spend unlimited time with your pet. Your pet will be well taken care of. I will make sure your pet has the right amount of exercise, attention, and that their needs are met.
About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!
About: My animal care experience started with my first dog foster at 18. In the past 18 years I have worked as a zookeeper before transitioning to Veterinary Medicine. I was a kennel tech, then Veterinary Assistant before earning my Registered Veterinary Technician License. My skills include dog walking, cat socializing, administering medications (oral, transdermal, injectable), nail trimming and positive reinforcement. I also have experience performing health exams, giving vaccinations, surgery prep and monitoring anesthesia. Over the years I have been a reliable dog walker, cat and house sitter for friends and family, as needed. At home I have a senior black chihuahua and senior black cat. I understand the need for wanting your pets to have the best care while you’re away. I am here to help take care of that for you. I’m currently working as an RVT working 10-hour shifts. Outside of my day job, I plan to be there to provide dog walking, cat sitting and house sitting as my free time allows. In your home, I will provide the type of care that you request. Whether that is dropping in and feeding your animal or taking your dog for a nice, long, stimulating walk, I aim to make it comfortable and enjoyable for your pet.
About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.
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 ❤️
“Bryan is great adapting to the needs of our two dogs. Bryan did a thorough meet and greet and our girls came home happy and ready to relax after each walk. Bryan is patient, calm, and so easy for humans and dogs to be around.”
About: I'm a mother, former teacher, and HUGE animal lover! I’ve been a SPCA & Marin Human Society volunteer, foster parent to rescue dogs for 25+ yrs. I used to work at All Animals Emergency Hospital in SF so understand animal safety and have extensive experience with caring pets and administering medications if needed. I have older children who grew up around animals and who also happen to absolutely love dogs (and all animals). They will often help play and socialize with them if appropriate. I have experience caring for senior dogs, blind dogs and pets with special needs (i.e. medication and specific diet/nutritional requirements). I currently work from home and grateful to have a flexible schedule so I can prioritize caring for your furry friends and take them on walks as much as possible. I work from home and available for pet sitting, walking and boarding. I love to walk/hike be outside (morning, afternoon and evening) and available 7 days a week! I am conveniently located by Marin Country Mart by Larkspur Courts Apartments with amazing dog walking trails, a dog park and pond. Lots of opportunities for socializing with other friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I work from home so can take your pup outside anytime and make sure they get enough exercise and sunshine. I have teenage children who absolutely adore dogs and any furry animal we bring home as they grew up fostering kittens, puppies, rabbits and more! We have walking paths steps away with a dog park (if you like) and duck pond and other trails along Corte Madera creek and Marin County Mart in Larkspur. Lots of furry friends are welcome in this area!

Highly recommend Marielle to help walk your dog. She was very kind to help fill in for a walk last min for our dog Prescott. She was very sweet, patient and knowledgeable when meeting P. I felt at ease meeting her & knowing our dog would be in good hands. Thank you for the walk Marielle! Mike and I appreciate it so much.
Gage cared for our two small dogs while we were on vacation and did an excellent job. From the start, he communicated clearly, arrived on time for every walk, and he was very reliable. We’ll gladly book with him again whenever we need someone to look after our pups!
Carter’s been great with my dog, Nellie. She’s a senior with changing needs, and he always adapts to her energy level and what she needs that day. He’s consistently on time, keeps me updated after every walk, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.
After a meet and greet I asked Mariia to walk Dakota for me when I had to work late and I knew Dakota was in good hands! She is reliable and very communicative! She sent me multiple photos and kept me updated. Dakota was shy at first as she usually is, but Mariia gained her trust quickly and Dakota had a great walk while I was at work :)

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 walker.
