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!

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 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.

About: I have been involved in the loving care of animals since I was a child. My passion for animals developed 25 years ago. I have been casually helping friends with pets for well beyond twenty years and no harm has ever come to them, nor, have they been lost. I volunteer with shelters and animal causes in my spare time. I own my home with a fenced in yard. I rarely watch more than one or two animals at a time. I do not smoke or drink, am bondable and am fully insured. I offer your pet(s) a genuine, loving experience with recreational and fun activities.. If I have more then one dog I do separate them while eating in case they like to resource guard .. .. If your animal has separation anxiety please let me know because my goal is to have them have a wonderful time with me… If they are a obsessive barker please share this with me because i live in a town house and dont want to disturb my neighbors.... I would like to be aware of this so I can accommodate their needs … Your dog also must be POTTY TRAINED as well... …Other then that I will send them home a happy and tired dog . I have a flexible schedule that is adaptable to your needs as well as that of your pet. I work for myself and set my own hours so I’m very flexible. I have a fenced in yard that is secure. I NEVER leave animals unattended. I have many toys to play with and bond very quickly with animals. The owner and myself can create a activity plan that surrounds the pet’s individual needs and wants. I have countless years of providing medication and care to animals and can recognize problems before they become bigger issues.

About: Hi, I’m Amelia- a USF graduate and lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, from German Shepherds to hamsters, and even had the joy of fostering rescue dogs in need of extra care. Whether it’s dogs, cats, fish or small animals, I’ll make sure every pet in your household feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I have lots of time to devote to your fur-babies in the late afternoons and evenings on workdays for walks and house sittings. I am free most weekends for walks, boarding or house sitting as well. I treat your pets with love, and always make sure they’re having fun. For boarding or home stays, I play with them using their favorite toys, and take them on their appropriate walks or favorite activities. I make sure to exercise dogs before leaving the house, especially if it’s over a few hours. Additionally, if your dog has high energy, I am a runner and love to go on runs with them!

About: I've cared for dogs for years and would love to ensure your pup gets all the love and exercise they need to be happy and healthy! I'm also very active myself so I can also take your pup on a fast-paced walk or run to get their energy out! Very flexible schedule with lots of availability during weekdays or weekends ! Open to repeat visits as needed. I work part-time / at home providing me an versatile schedule for whatever timing works for you and your pup. During drop-in visits and dog-walks, I emphasize gentleness, attentiveness, and building trust with your animal to ensure their needs are tended to with playfulness and adaptability to your pet's unique temperament.

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

About: I’ve always loved all animals, but dogs have truly become my heart and my passion. I’m lucky to share my life with two beautiful pups of my own, and with over ten years of experience caring for dogs of every personality and breed, I’ve fallen in love with treating each one as family. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely cherish! Thank you for considering me. I am currently open any day of the week which is quite unique for me! And want to spend every moment helping animals and their owners. Lots of cuddles (as much as they allow me lol) and outdoor activities - typically atleast two walks per day and more if weather permitting! However weather never has stopped me from walking in nature with them if that’s what they enjoy! I take care of the home like I do my own and treat your fury children just like I do my babies! Spoiled :)

About: Growing up, I was the main caretaker for my Shih Tzu for most of my childhood and teenage years until she passed at 13 a few years ago. I have cat sat for friends and now regularly care for my boyfriend’s two large English Labradors whom I love with my whole heart. I am currently a full time college student and a part time worker, however I have free weekends and tend to have free weekdays after 2 pm. I am a very attentive caretaker who loves to sit and spend quality time with your pet! I love going for walks, playing with toys, or sitting with them to keep them company. I plan to take care of your pet in exactly the same way that I would want mine taken care of.

About: I grew up with a dog at home and still miss his sweet smile (you can see him in my profile!). I’ve always loved taking care of dogs, bringing them on walks, visiting parks, and making them happy by caring for them as if they were my own. I now have a newborn baby and love going on daily walks, usually with her in my carrier and always keeping her safely separate from your dog. It’s been such a joy combining fresh air, movement, and puppy happiness into our routine! My husband and I own our own business, which gives us a lot of flexibility to care for your pup and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I never take care of more than one dog at a time because I want to give each one my full focus and care. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns ! I’m always happy to chat! We love getting outside, exploring nearby parks, and going on walks—it’s one of our favorite parts of the day. Very flexible! My schedule is very open because I own a business and operate it with my husband and our team in site. Always free for a walk! Very flexible ! I value safety and would never let your dog roam free without my supervision, leash, or anything that’s specifically needed to make sure they are safe.

Megan is great with my shy kitties. They've warmed up to her after only 2 bookings. She even found and cleaned up the places where one of the cats threw up. I didn't think to mention where the cleaning supplies were. She also suggested something to give cats help with hairballs. She clearly knows and cares about cats. For the reports, she always takes lots of photos and lets you know how your cats are doing. I feel confident my cats are well taken care of when Megan is cat sitting.

We’re very happy with the care Anjali provided for our kitties while we were away. She was responsible, reliable, and very loving with them. She sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. At one point, I reached out to her because I needed her to check something specific with their litter box and automatic feeder, and she responded right away and took care of it. Communication was great throughout, and we felt very comfortable knowing our kitties were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Marin City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marin City is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $39 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 10,563 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marin City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marin City. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
