“Rosa and Kevin were wonderful! They were super responsive, easy to communicate with and took such good care of our pups. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were traveling!”
“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”
“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“I am a first time user of Rover and it was such a great experience! Ellen was so great with our 4.5 month old puppy. We did a meet up before our trip so we could meet. She has the perfect set up for dogs at her home. She was caring for a couple other dogs, including a puppy, so it was great socialization for ours. Ellen's temperament is sweet and caring - there is no doubt she is a dog lover! I am so happy to have found her. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Our dog Max just loves Emany. We have used her several times and we feel that he is in such good care with her. Communication is super easy and she makes sure to send pictures and let you know how your dog is, when you’re away. Can only give my best recommendations.”
“Kinley was well cared for with Monica and Boady. Lots of hikes, sunshine and cuddles. Just like at home. Thanks to the pictures and updates I never worried and always knew my pup was happy.”
“Caroline did a phenomenal job taking care of Ranger! She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ranger’s allergies flared up right before his stay, and Caroline went above and beyond to make sure he got the care he needed to feel better. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Melissa is a great dog friend. The moment my dog Xico, who is very sensitive one, met with her he felt comfortable annd safe. And Archy, her dog is just as adorable as Melissa. Thanks”
“Sam is such a loving and caring dog sitter. We are returning clients and would recommend her to anyone. Communication is easy, we get pictures every day and a note on how everything is going and when we pick him up, we can just feel that he has been given so much love. Thank you, Sam!”
“Oakley enjoyed his stay with Ariane and her pup! She gave me feedback along the way and lots of pictures showing me how he was doing. She was able to give him a pill every morning and keep the food separate from her dog. I will definitely use her again!”
“Ivy took very good care of Mocha for 10 days. She sent me frequent updates and several pictures of Mocha. Mocha seemed very happy with Ivy and her family. 100% recommend her.”
“Gabrielle was great with my dog Bruna. Bruna is epileptic and I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone on Rover—very glad I found her! She made sure that Bruna was well-entertained and cared for, all while staying on top of her medicine schedule. Gabrielle provided end of day summaries which I really appreciated. Would book with her again!”
“This was my first rover, for my puppy! Bea was a great care taker. She sent tons of photos and videos and it was clear my pup Sasha was in excellent hands! Sasha also loved playing with her dog, Soju!”
“Joyce was so easy to coordinate with, and she took great care of Blanche! Super responsive to messages, sent regular updates, and Blanche was her normal happy self when she came back home. Definitely recommend!”
“Melissa did an excellent job boarding Thor while I was away at a wedding for several days. I was nervous about leaving him because it had been a while since he spent overnights anywhere. He can have a little separation anxiety. Within the first day into my trip I felt 100% at ease and reassured. Melissa was very accommodating and made Thor welcome in her home. She stayed in contact and sent pictures and even a video. Thor was well exercised, going on long walks, and to Mt Tam for trail walk with her husband was great. My big boy came home tired and happy. I would definitely recommend Melissa and rebook with her! Great experience.”
About: 🐾 Hi! We’re a caring couple who moved to the United States a few years ago, and animals have always been a big part of our lives. While we were living in Turkey, we spent years looking after cats and dogs, including our own pets and many stray animals in our neighborhood. We loved helping out by feeding them, fostering them, and getting them medical care when they needed it. We recently lost our beloved dog, and while that was very hard for us, it has made us even more committed to caring for animals with love and kindness. We’d love to share the animal love we’ve missed with your furry kids. We’d be happy to give your pets the same care and attention. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone, and we always treat every pet like family with patience, care, and lots of love. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, or just some company, we’ll do our best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. We’d love to meet you and your furry friend. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of our lifestyle. We structure our days to include regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care. Since we plan our schedules around the pets we care for, we’re able to be flexible and attentive to their individual needs—whether that means extra walks or simply spending quality time with them so they feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are our top priorities when caring for pets. In our home, we provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision and no hazards. We follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special needs. In your home, we respect your space and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. We also send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

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!
Annelies & Marcos are amazing! You'd be very lucky to have your pup stay with them. Annelies was easy to coordinate with, for connecting on details and drop off. They understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog behind on vacation, and were so communicative and shared lots of photos, so I felt well updated and could relax, knowing everything was going well. They ensured my pup had lots of outdoor time, walks and even a day at the beach, followed by a bath! If they are available, run, don't walk to book with them. You will be relieved and your dog will be well taken care of and loved like their own.
Our little Kodi is a rescue dog who can be anxious in new situations, needing lots of reassurance and a tender-hearted caregiver, which is exactly who Ashley is. She made a safe haven for our anxious pup and he was in heaven, being pampered with complete and utter attention at all times. She also was in constant touch with us, supplying multiple updates and photos every day during the boarding, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We cannot recommend Ashley enough, and we are thrilled to have found her for our little Kodi and are honored to recommend her pet sitting services!
Rosa and Kevin took great care of Lulu. Lulu ate some garbage. They took Lulu to an emergency veterinarian and had her stomach pumped. probably saving Lulu much discomfort or serious inflammation/internal injury. These people have earned our maximum respect, for caring for their boarder. We would recommend them to other Rover boarders.
Andrew took incredible care of Luna! Throughout my multi day trip he made sure I felt reassured, sending photos, videos of Luna (active GSP) on tons of hikes and walks. He even went out of his way on July 4th to make sure she wasn’t frightened by any fireworks, gave her medicine, and I really couldn’t have asked for more. She came back so tired and happy I’m very grateful.

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 Mill Valley 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 Mill Valley 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 Mill Valley.
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 Mill Valley. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Mill Valley 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.
