“Alacia was responsive, professional, prompt, and kind! She took excellent care of my cat Cleo and sent updates. She was super easy to work with and I would recommend her without reservation!”
“Michael did a fantastic job - he had no trouble with our complicated smart home instructions and had no issues giving our cat his medication. Will request him every time we go out of town.”

About: I started my career in veterinary services at 16 by volunteering for a small, non-profit rescue in Los Angeles. Now, I work at an animal hospital in the city and pet-sit for a roster of clients. I specialize in senior animal care, but adore pets of all ages! Our animal hospital is closed from 12-2pm, so I take advantage of this break by attending to any pet-sitting/walking related care. I have odd days off as well, so I am flexible for day-to-day care. I use a trauma-informed, consent-based approach to any animal I interact with. My career involves working with animals who are at their most stressed state, which allows me to understand how to cultivate the absolute most comfortable experience.
“Jessica is just wonderful! I now understand why she has so many five start reviews. She is kind, patient, responsive and it’s clear that our little fur baby Chloe loves her. Jessica is always timely and responsible and sends lots of pics during drop in visits or walks. Leaving your pet with someone else is always a little stressful, but we rest easy knowing that someone as wonderful as Jessica is taking such great care of Chloe!”
About: I have more experience with small dogs and cats. I used to play with small dogs a lot and I love their energy. I also love cats since I have two of my own. Looking forward to meet your pets. I can visit once a day on weekdays after 5pm. This visit can be playing for 30 mins, changing food or water. I can visit more often on weekend ( fri-sun) depend on your need. I prefer each visit will be as longest as 30 mins and I don't stay over night. I will make sure your pets have enough of necessities as I visit, like food or water. I make sure I can keep them a company and play with them to make them happy.
“As always, Diana was the best sitter I could have asked for! I believe this is the 5th or 6th time I’ve re-booked with her now, and she always goes above and beyond. I am so thankful to have found a trustworthy and reliable sitter who I can always count on whether it’s for a drop in visit, or for a longer stay. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: $40 off First booking, for NEW clients!! https://www.rover.com/sit/taraw21421 I have pretty much done it all! I've been around animals of all kinds since birth. I grew up around a herd of Aussies and a cluster of cats whom my mom couldn't refuse! :) I am Mom to 2 Himalayan cats who are my heart ❤️ I started pet-sitting when I was about 12. I have volunteer experience working at a museum for exotics, and I used to work at a boarding kennel for cats and dogs. I supervised large groups of various breeds (dogs/cats) during playtime! Prior to working for Rover, I was a dog-walker/pet-sitter for 7 years for Metro-Pet; (located in Dallas, TX). I regularly pet-sat for client's in their homes, when they were on vacation. Sometimes just drop-in visits, or walks, or both!! Many years ago, I was a Foster Mom for a Golden Retriever who stole my heart! I was a Corgi Mom for almost 9-years. I trained that sweet boy as a puppy. He was a senior before he passed, so I do have puppy as well as senior dog experience. I have experience with special needs dogs, as well as I am experienced with administering meds or injections if needed. I love going on walks with the doggies! I love cats just as much. I am currently fully available for drop-in-visits, or walks for cats and dogs! After the 21st of September 2026, I begin a FT job, and would only be available Friday-Sun. I will treat your animals as I would my own. With lots of patience and affection and snuggles ☺️ I am highly respectful of my clients homes. I am an extremely trustworthy and responsible person. I clean up after myself and leave the home looking as it did when I got there.

About: I've had a rescue dog named Boo, she was a senior cockerspaniel that lived for 16 years. She had low energy, was very calm, and easy to take care of. I understand for a senior dog you need to take your time with them. I've also dealt with a senior German Shepherd who has Degenerative Myelopathy. I had to express his anal glands/ bladder and change his diapers I'm currently working part-time, so i'll have time to take care of your dogs!

“Devon provided the best care for our cat! She provided great detailed updates, and always kept us in the loop with her clear communication. She sent multiple photos daily, and we could tell Tater really warmed up to her during her visits. We are so thankful we found her and would absolutely book her again!”

“We were new to the area and had a last minute need for our pup to be watched. Because of our situation, Carmen shuffled her schedule, came to do a meet and greet, patiently waited while we tried to figure out how to let her into our apartment and get the keys back (which she handled beautifully, and took care of our pup while we were gone. We got pictures, updates, and timely responses and messages. You can have confidence choosing Carmen to take care of your pet.”

Had to make an unexpected trip and chose Yuki to care for my two cats based on her outstanding reviews. She exceeded my expectations and engaged with my cats, which is not easy for strangers to do! I appreciate the care Yuki provided and will certainly check her availability first the next time I’m away.
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
We absolutely loved having Rachel look after our cats. She went above and beyond for our boys, even buying litter and new toys for them, and was incredibly attentive to their needs the whole time. We got thoughtful updates, and it was clear they were very comfortable with her. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. We’d 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. 🐾💛
Sian is a kind and wonderful soul. She took good care of our kitties and did a great job following special instructions for the house. We felt very confident and comfortable leaving her in charge while on retreat and the kitties will be having her back! So grateful and what a relief to have someone we can count on.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Marin City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
