“Adriana was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Raffie! We received lots of daily updates and cute photos. Raffie loved all her walks and snuggles. We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and we will definitely be booking with Adriana again!”
“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!:)”
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.
“In the past anytime I would prepare to leave town, my dog Maggie would become anxious and unhappy, now after staying with Emany on three different occasions, Maggie gets excited when I start packing her things to go to the dog sitter. This last time, she pulled away from me and ran to Emany's open arms and started licking her all over. Such a relief to know she is in good hands and happy while I am away. Highly recommend Emany to watch your dogs too, rest assured they are being well cared for and having fun while you are away.”
“Kinley was well looked after by Kevin, Rosa and Banksy. I really appreciated the time they took for a through meet & greet to get to know her specific needs and the daily updates.”
“Sam is the BEST! Our pup, Moose, is very sensitive and takes a while to warm up to new people. Sam has watched him twice now (daycare the first time and overnight this time) and you can tell that she knows how to make an animal feel comfortable and safe as soon as you meet her. Sam kept us updated with photos and videos throughout both of Moose’s stays and we couldn’t be happier / more confident in her ability to take care of Moose. Thank you, Sam! 💛”
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
“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!”
About: I've always had pets and we are always volunteering to help our friends and recently a friend suggested I do Rover. We have a sweet yellow lab named Lucca ("the big easy") and he is great with ALL dogs. We fostered 7 senior dogs through Muttville in SF from chihuahua to English Mastiff and got them all adopted. We love puppies but hope they are potty trained. We live in Southern Marin with lots of places to walk. My son (12-yrs) is also an avid animal lover, and we never meet a dog we don't try to say hi to and often end up narrating for. Hope to see your furry baby soon!! I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your pup. Also, I would be open to dog-walking if you find you need extra help during the day. While I do not have a fenced yard there are several trails around Tiburon and neighborhoods to walk so happy to take your baby on walks with Lucca and I and if Sam is home from school, I am sure he will join us too!
“I'm very grateful to Molly and Steve for taking such good care of our dog Max while we ran away and got married. Max was in a cone and needed scheduled medication due to an unexpected surgery and I felt comfortable that he was in good and careful hands with them. Max was nervous at first but ended up bonding well with the whole fam. We would definitely trust our Max with Molly and Steve again.”
“Lei is a wonderful sitter! Very attentive to my dogs needs and great at sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I could tell my pup loved spending time at her place too!”
About: I am a vet tech who has experience working in ER, who LOVES to run and spend time outside. I currently do not have my own dog and would love to pet sit, run, walk yours (or your cat ha!) I can also provide medical treatment/care for your pets if they need it! I work as an ER vet tech and would love to dog sit, take your pup out for walks/runs whenever needed. I run everyday and have always thought it would be a great idea to get on rover. I want the pet to be as comfortable as possible! With vet tech experience I know how to read body language, as provide a safe environment for pets.
About: I’ve had small dogs since I was little, but I rescued my soul dog, Leica, from Muttville in 2017. Over the years, I administered lots of cheese pills and brushed the few teeth he had. We went on lots of adventures from the office to the beach and mountains. Unfortunately his last 6 months were fraught with a neurological disorder. I believe it’s a honor to care for senior dogs and keep them comfortable as a small return of the love they given. While it was a honor, it was not easy and it gave me a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs. I love all dogs but the little old ones are extra special to me ❤️ Any dog or cat I care for, I will do so with 100% attention, love, respect for them and your home, and routines. Because I really do care so deeply about their health and safety, I will not be caring for more than one pet at a time. And of course as a long time Rover customer, I know clear communication and photos are essential. Looking forward to meeting you, your pet, and happy to answer any questions you have! And feel free to call me Katie ☺️ Currently working remote so I can flex my day more or less to your dog’s walk and feed routine. Usually around 8:30, 12:30, and 5:30. We’ll relax or play in the evening depending on their temperament. I have no other pets and many options for areas of my apartment where they can be set up to feel at home. No backyard but very close to the park. Up three flights of stairs but happy to carry smaller dogs if that’s what they need. I also still have a dog stroller for less mobile friends! For their safety I won’t ever let them off leash.
“Renee and Chris are very trusted sister. Because my dolls medical condition, I had to be picky to find new sitter not to have multiple other dogs. They only accepted my dogs and no other dogs. Renee made sure to provide the medication and she is very familiar with. They sent us a lot of pictures and video and we were very happy to know how our dogs were doing every day. Renee and Chris are highly recommended and I will ask their availability when we need our dog sitter next time for sure.”
“Frank and Rosalie were amazing caretakers for Lychee! They were quick to respond to any questions, and had a great setup for her in their space. She enjoyed the long walks and outdoor adventures she had, and came back to me full of energy. I’d definitely look to have them take care of her in the future!”
“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!”
About: I’m attentive, patient, and happy to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and senior pets, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax while your furry friend is in my care. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can plan walks, playtime, and check-ins around their routine I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I send regular updates so you know how they’re doing.

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.
