“I am a first time user of Rover and it was such a great experience! Ellen was so great with our 4.5 month old puppy. We did a meet up before our trip so we could meet. She has the perfect set up for dogs at her home. She was caring for a couple other dogs, including a puppy, so it was great socialization for ours. Ellen's temperament is sweet and caring - there is no doubt she is a dog lover! I am so happy to have found her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Derek & Stella were great hosts for my pup! They were so patient and kind with her while she adjusted. They provided great updates and pictures throughout her stay. 10/10, definitely recommend! Thank you so much!!!”
About: I love caring for pups especially out in nature. I hike Tam Daily. Exercise in nature is the best medicine for dogs and humans. We have a blast! I’m a semi retired empty nester who does project based work mostly from home so I’m at home or out with my dog daily. I have a safe home with a daily routine. I have a fenced yard and two labradoodles of my own who will keep your pup company and love to play and go on adventures.
“Our dog Max just loves Emany. We have used her several times and we feel that he is in such good care with her. Communication is super easy and she makes sure to send pictures and let you know how your dog is, when you’re away. Can only give my best recommendations.”
“Alina is the absolute best! So kind, patient, accommodating, communicative, and trustworthy!!! I’m so grateful to have found a safe home away from home in the bay area for Pippi! Will definitely be reaching out when I’m next in San Francisco. Thank you so much, Alina! Xo”
“Melissa is a great dog friend. The moment my dog Xico, who is very sensitive one, met with her he felt comfortable annd safe. And Archy, her dog is just as adorable as Melissa. Thanks”
“Sam is such a loving and caring dog sitter. We are returning clients and would recommend her to anyone. Communication is easy, we get pictures every day and a note on how everything is going and when we pick him up, we can just feel that he has been given so much love. Thank you, Sam!”
“This was my first rover, for my puppy! Bea was a great care taker. She sent tons of photos and videos and it was clear my pup Sasha was in excellent hands! Sasha also loved playing with her dog, Soju!”
“Heather kept me updated with pics during the stay . She took Nori on walks and played with Nori . Nori was happy there . I highly recommend Heather and would use her again.”
“Joyce was so easy to coordinate with, and she took great care of Blanche! Super responsive to messages, sent regular updates, and Blanche was her normal happy self when she came back home. Definitely recommend!”
“I was very happy with Jesse’s dog boarding. It was the first night my dog had stayed overnight anywhere, and Jesse helped put my mind at ease with constant photos and check ins. My dog enjoyed playing with the other dogs and seemed to be in a great mood when I picked him up in the morning. Thank you Jesse!”
“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”
“Our bulldog Roxy stayed with Isabel for 2 nights and spent the days with a fabulous crew of new dog friends - walking, playing and exploring. We won’t hesitate to go to Isabel again for dog sitting or walking!”
“Sue treats Leela like her own. Leela gets so excited to see her and go the her place that forgets I’m leaving. Sue keeps me posted all the time. I wouldn’t trust anyone more than Sue. I already lost count how many times Leela has stayed with Sue. She’s the best.”
“Renee and Christopher were fantastic sitters!! Lenny had access to a backyard and so much attention. I got regular updates and photos and felt so much peace of mind.”
“Narjis was very welcoming to Henri and took time with me and him to get him situated to her space and for the dogs to get acquainted. This was the first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. Narjis took good care and sent pics while I was out.”
“Frank and his gf were great!! Not only was he flexible with our schedule as our trip in the city changed, but he was very kind to us and the dogs as well. Cannot recommend him enough! :)”
“Edison is amazing! Just from our initial messages, I knew that our dog was in great hands; he took the time to assess our dog’s behaviors and training needs, while making sure that he was happy and at ease with positive reinforcement. He made a plan for handling our dog’s issues with other dogs and with excited pulling on the leash. Edison was kind enough to show me how to continue this training at home, to keep up the good work. We received so many photos and videos throughout the weekend—eating, relaxing at home, exploring the city, doing different activities, training, and even Edison cleaning him from head to tail at the end of the day. We would absolutely recommend Edison to anyone looking for attentive and thoughtful care for their dog!”
“Sara was fantastic! She communicated well with us during the whole time our dog, Ellie, stayed with her. The photos were so cute and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We'll definitely be having Sara take care of our dog again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marin City
Lana and her husband took amazing care of Henry! We met with them beforehand, and they made us feel completely comfortable leaving Henry in their care. They sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust them to watch Henry again and highly recommend them!
Scout had a wonderful stay! Matt and Amanda are incredibly sweet, caring, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated the updates throughout Scout’s stay. She was well cared for, comfortable, and happy when I picked her up. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book again!
Adriana was so kind, easygoing, and welcoming, and she made us feel comfortable from the very beginning! She took the time to meet Mila beforehand on a walk and let Mila approach her at her own pace, which we really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. She made everything so convenient by picking up and dropping off Mila, taking her on walks, and sending us videos to keep us updated. Her son also spent time playing with Mila, which was so sweet! I even accidentally had a Target order delivered to her house, and she kindly dropped it off along with our dog. We would highly recommend Adriana and will absolutely be using her again! Thank you so much for making the experience of leaving our fur baby so comfortable, stress-free, and convenient. We truly appreciate you! ❤️
Mariam was wonderful with our husky Luna! She is calm and confident and I could tell that Luna was totally at ease and content in her company. She brought her on beautiful hikes and made her home so comfortable for Luna. I would be totally confident recommending her as a dog sitter. We will definitely ask Mariam to mind/ walk Luna again and I know Luna will be delighted to see her!:)
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!
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!
Frankie had a wonderful time with Morgan and Svet and was very well taken care of! I could tell when I picked her up how comfortable she was in their house and with their family! Communication with Morgan was great and I loved all the pics and updates she sent over. Thanks for taking such good care of Frankie

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Marin City is $80 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $111 per night. 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.

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.
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.
93% of sitters in Marin City 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 Marin City home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Marin City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marin City. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
You and your Marin City 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
