“Adriana took great care of Kona, was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and kept us updated regularly with photos and videos throughout the weekend! Kona came back in great shape! Would definitely book Adriana again”
“Sara was just wonderful with our little Chihuahua mix Toaster. She provided lots of pictures and updates, took him on many walks, and appreciated his affectionate Velcro-dog tendencies. I look forward to booking her again in the near future!”
“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!”
“Cooper always comes back happy from his stays with Melissa! We love all her generous updates. Cooper seems to enjoy a little vacation of his own when he’s with her.”
“Stevenson was amazing with my dog Lewis! He was really easy to communicate with, sent me great photo updates throughout my trip, and Lewis came back sleepy and happy. Thank you Stevenson! Will definitely book again.”
“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“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.”
“Mila is the perfect sitter! She's sweet and calm and clearly loves dogs. She kept Kenzie busy with walks and exploring her outdoor area and was very accommodating in extending my pickup time. I'm not sure that Kenzie wanted to leave with me. In a close-up photo that Mila sent afterwards, he had never looked happier!”
“Frank and Rosalie were awesome! They took great care of our dog Chico during the holiday weekend. They kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Chico had a great time and came home happy and tired 😊 We would definitely book with them again!”
“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Sally was absolutely amazing. Incredibly professional and instantly made me feel at ease with her extensive canine knowledge. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
“5/5 is not enough! Thank you Jenna for taking the best care of our dog Lucky. You made him feel at home immediately and provided updates with photos frequently. I’d recommend Jenna to anyone.”
About: I have hands-on experience with both ends of the spectrum: puppies and senior dogs. My own dog was a senior, so I'm well-practiced in the day-to-day realities of caring for an older dog ...administering medication on schedule, watching for mobility issues, adjusting walks and activity level to their pace, and generally staying attentive to the small changes that matter with aging dogs. If your pet needs pills, eye drops, or other regular meds, I'm completely comfortable handling that. I've also cared for puppies, so I know the energy and patience that stage requires. That said, I'm only able to take on dogs who are already fully potty trained. Right now I'm between jobs, which means I'm able to spend virtually the entire day with any dog in my care - no long stretches alone, no rushed visits, just consistent attention and companionship. I treat every dog like they're my own: steady routines, lots of engagement, and regular updates/photos so you can relax while you're away. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love dogs at every life stage. I'm currently between jobs, so pet care fits easily into my day rather than being squeezed around a 9-to-5. I'm available for walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day, and I structure my schedule around the dog's needs - not the other way around. I live in an apartment with a large private patio featuring a grass pad, giving dogs easy, anytime potty access without needing to go far. I'm also just a short walk from Lafayette Park, so I love taking dogs on walks through Polk Gulch and over to the park for extra exercise and mental stimulation, if they enjoy it.
“This was Oscar’s second stay with Victoria, and once again she took such great care of him. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I’m really grateful for how attentive and thoughtful she is, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Oscar with her again.”
“Karen is great! She kept my dog Olive over the weekend recently. When Olive and I went for the meet and greet, Olive made no growling noises(which she usually does either new people), and was prancing around smiling while we were there. She sent lots of pictures and took great care of Ms Olive. Her dog Tulip was also a generous host. Don’t hesitate to book a stay or walk with Karen 🌸🐾”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marin City
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!
Sarah was great with my pup, who is usually pretty high maintenance and has a lot of anxiety when I leave. Sarah sent a lot of photos and updates and I was glad to see her doing well and socializing with some other small dogs too! My dog up was also super calm when I picked her up.
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
I had a great experience with Emma watching my dog! My dog can be pretty wary of new people, but Emma was patient and took the time to earn her trust. It meant so much to know she was in such caring hands. Emma was also very responsive through the booking process and during my dog’s stay. She kept me updated with check-ins while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust Emma to watch my dog again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<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 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 , 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.
