House Sitting in Marin City

“Maggie was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with from start to finish, sent photos every day, and was very attentive to our dog. We felt completely comfortable knowing our home and pet were in such good hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Andy was great with our special needs kitty while we were away! He gave Buster lots of attention, managed his multiple feedings a day of wet and dry prescription food, and administered his daily oral medication without fuss. We were reassured by the many sweet photos Andy sent of Buster and himself along with updates. We couldn't be more pleased with Buster's care, Andy's attention to detail, and the neatness of our house on our return. We will definitely use Andy's help again in the future!”

“Yan was lovely and took great care of our three dogs and our home! All of our dogs require daily medications and have some special needs, and she handled them like a pro. She took them on lots of walks and sent us daily updates. Our home was just perfectly clean and just as we left it. We look forward to working with Yan again and can’t recommend her enough!”

Mallory B.

“Mariia and Ethan were great! Excellent communicators, happy and well exercised pup and a clean house upon return. You couldn’t ask for anything more. They are responsive and responsible. We will be using them again!”

“Tatiana was absolutely amazing! She kept Percy active and happy while we were away, and was totally understanding and accommodating when our schedule turned upside down. Highly recommend! Warning - your pet might like her better when you get back! 😜”

“Grant exceeded all of our expectations! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside of friends or family, and he instantly put us at ease. He was communicative, asked thoughtful questions, and truly cared about making sure our pups were comfortable. Our dogs had a great time with him, and he was wonderfully flexible with timing and their different needs. We’re so grateful, and already looking forward to booking with Grant again!”

About: Grew up with many dogs, have been walking and pet sitting dogs and cats for many years. I am a trail runner so if your dogs can run and enjoy high energy I can take them out on a trail run or walk if they are slowing down or older. Pet house sitting, I am very clean and tidy respecting others homes and privacy. I am currently a performance coach so my schedule is flexible. I run daily so I can incorporate that into pet care if your dog needs additional exercise. If house sitting I will take your dog out for multiple daily walks. Feed and care for them with love and playfulness. I will respect your home and privacy. I will update you with photos or calls to ensure you are happy your loved one is being taken care of.

“Krystle treated my 15 yr+ baby with love and care. She was kind enough to meet us ahead of the scheduled time to see if we agreed it would be a good fit long term. She left my place tidy and took great care of my sweet girl. Next time we will try a longer stay to see how she does. It was great having someone who understands the needs of senior pups.”

“Jody is an exceptional dog sitter who provided outstanding care for our 7-year-old Border Collie during a 10-day house sitting stay. She was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates that kept us reassured and connected while away. Jody’s passion for animals was evident in her attentive care, keeping our dog happy, active, and at ease throughout her stay. She left our home spotless and well maintained, exceeding all expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter—Thank you Jody!”

“So grateful! This was my first time using Rover and I am thrilled with the match. Kathryn was awesome and took great care of our kitten. Our kitten was happy and very relaxed and this made for an easy transition. Kathryn kept us up to date with sweet pics which made it even easier to enjoy the trip and not worry at all about a thing. Kathryn also took wonderful care of our house. She even noticed some of our plants needed water and offered to take care of that. Very much looking forward to working with Kathryn again and Peanut has made a fast new friend.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved being around animals. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different needs and personalities. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I enjoy spending time with them, playing, going on walks, and giving them lots of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always keep communication clear and can provide updates for peace of mind. I work part-time Monday to Friday from 7:30–8:30 AM and 2:00–7:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available to care for pets, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays. I’m reliable, organized, and make sure pets get the attention and care they need around my schedule. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and make sure your pet stays in a calm and safe environment. I’m attentive and responsible, and I can provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kathryn was amazing with our 2 year old golden! She took her on multiple hikes and walks and gave her lots of snuggles. Sent photos and updates everyday! She took wonderful care of our home and it was so tidy and clean when we got back! She will definitely be our go to for Kona going forward!”

“We have booked Kristin multiple times to puppy sit our 12 week old puppy and she has been fantastic! She is very dog savvy, communicative and kind. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including high energy dogs like Weimaraners and Whippets as well as strong breeds like Pit Bulls. I raised my own Weimaraner from a few months old to his current age of 8, so I understand everything from puppy training and structure to caring for older dogs. When dogs stay with me, I keep them active, engaged, and on a consistent routine. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, hikes, or runs depending on their energy level, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I treat every dog like family and focus on making them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. I’m currently a college student with a relatively light class schedule, which allows me to be home and available most days of the week. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m reliable about keeping routines, making sure dogs get exercise, and being present so they’re not left alone for long periods. My schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate different needs and provide attentive, dependable care I have one dog who is great with other dogs and a spacious home with a big deck and living room. I make sure to take my dog on at least two walks a day to the park, offering plenty of outdoor exercise. While I can crate dogs if needed, I prefer spending quality time with pets to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care.

“Marion did a great job house sitting for a few days. She was very responsible and asked great questions during our meet and great. Would definitely trust her to take care of our house and cat again in the future.”

“We feel like we lucked out asking Jodi to watch our dogs! She is a true professional along with being a sweet and kind person who clearly loves the opportunity to spend time with dogs and not just be there and feed them and let them outside when needed. We felt very comfortable leaving our 3 beloved dogs and home in her care, which is not something you normally feel when first meeting someone, but she is who she is and is a genuinely good person. Great super fast communication, early despite road closures due to flooding and even sent photos of the happy pups. We look forward to seeing her again! Highly recommend! Thanks for everything, Jodi!!”

“David took such good care of our pup. He was a great communicator, responsive and send cute pics from walks with our dog. Will definitely recommend and hire again.”

About: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.

“Gage was great. Stayed with my 15 month old dog while I was working on an ambulance for 14 hours. Took him on 2 walks, played with him, fed him, and even watched my girlfriend's dog for a bit. He was patient with the two different dog personalities.”
