“Adriana was amazing with my French bulldog, Kevin. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves dogs. She sent adorable updates and photos, and Kevin looked way too happy to be missing me. Frenchies come with big personalities, and Adriana handled Kevin like a pro. I really appreciated that she only takes on a couple dogs at a time, so each pup gets plenty of individual attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and very well loved dog. I would absolutely book Adriana again and highly recommend her. Kevin definitely got the doting on that he is used to at our home. Trust me, he would tell me if he didn’t. Thank you so much for taking good care of my little Kevi!”
“We just moved to the area and are thrilled to meet Halee! We did a quick meet and greet and then sent our dog for the day. I was particularly appreciative that when our timing changed, Halee went above and beyond to be flexible with us. She took our dog on really long walks, and he came home so happy! She even gave me some helpful tips, when asked, of how to train and support our dog. We liked her so much. We are already doing an overnight with her later this week. She loves dogs and was willing to price her services competitively which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her!”
“Matt has been so wonderful with our miniature dachshund Winston! He’s having some separation anxiety and finding Matt has been a god send! Winston comes home totally happy and is clearly getting lots of love while they hang! Matt is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Scott took wonderful care of Fred! Even though Fred was a little nervous and didn’t sleep much, Scott kept him busy with lots of walks and play time. He also shared many photos which is always a treat! We are glad we found Scott and will definitely book him again!”
About: I have decades of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages breeds. I'm a stay at home parent with older kids that would dote over your pet as much as they obsess over our resident Great Pyrenees. Your pet is part of our family as long as they're with us. I'm a stay at home parent so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for house sitting, boarding and last minute care for your pet. I have a fenced yard where your pet has access to our home and outside. I am home most of the time to tend to their needs and can help with medication administration as well.
“What a wonderful experience for our dogs Laffy and Layla. They were welcomed so warmly by Miriam and felt right at home. Miriam is so friendly, competent, knows what she is doing - even with a quite shy and a very anxious dog. Her dog is so super sweet and got our big boy to quickly fall for her. All was relaxed.”
“They did a fantastic job taking care of my 1 year old Cavapoo. They sent photos and videos of all their adventures and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby in their hands. Thanks again!”
“Elena was so sweet, caring, and very accommodating for a last minute booking. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and he had a great time on his little hike. So happy to have found a new sitter in the area 🙂”
“Yina is the best! We feel really comfortable leaving our pup, Midori, with her. Midori runs right in each time and seems to love spending the day with Yina.”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years including dogs of all ages and sizes. I also live near lots of parks which has allowed me to explore and have tons of fun with our furry friends! I am more flexible on weekends and can get to various parts of the city/Marin but can work with weekdays too. Definitely message me and we can discuss! I make sure to let the dog take its time in introducing its home to me and will be very careful and respectful in their home.
“Amelia’s stay was fabulous! She had such a good time on her morning outing -playing, running with the other dogs. I always felt she was in good care, safe and having fun! At the end of her stay she got a beautiful cookie which she enjoyed!”
“Emily was so accommodating! I had a last minute cancellation in my daily walker and I reached out to her the evening before to see if she could watch my baby and she worked with my schedule! I will absolutely be contacting her every time I need day care or boarding in the future. Thanks so much Emily!”
About: I grew up with my parents Bichons and loved caring for them. I am currently a dog father to a 6 year old golden retriever Penny who is full of energy and love to give. Penny & I love making new dog friends too. My girlfriend Mel and I are in between jobs at the moment and have lots of time during the day to hang out with your dog!! We love going on adventures around San Francisco with our dog Penny. Most mornings and mid weekdays are the best for us. I have a crate if needed for your dog but otherwise they will be very well looked after in our home, mainly playing at the park or going on adventures if they’re up for it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marin City
Megan was fantastic. Great communicator and clearly fantastic with pets because our VELCRO dog was chill on drop off and pick up as well. My schedule can be unpredictable when we need doggie day care so I really appreciate a pet sitter with a little flexibility and a lot of confidence and warmth.
I can’t say enough great things about Halee! Leaving Paco with someone new is never easy, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She stayed in touch throughout the day, sent me updates and pictures, and made me feel like Paco was being cared for by a family member rather than just a sitter. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and happy. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I’m so grateful we found Halee and will absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their pup.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Marin City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,094 sitters in Marin City, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
