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!
“Connor has been incredible with our dog Smokey! His communication and ease with dogs is top tier, I fully trust him with Smokey. I’d highly recommend booking with him!”
About: Welcoming all furry friends! See below for a bit about what to expect: - I live and work remotely from my Mill Valley home. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so have plenty of extra time to dedicate to your pup! - I live in a home just a few short blocks from the park, with a variety of dog friendly places within walking distance. 5-10 minutes away from amazing hiking trails, so there is quite a bit to see and do. - i’m extremely active (typically run every morning, and often head out on long hikes or day trips over the weekend), so am more than happy to wear your pup out running or playing if it's something they enjoy. Also able to just provide tons of love and company for senior dogs or those that prefer a more lazy agenda! - Extensive experience in pet care: I raised my 3.5 year old golden retriever from puppyhood, grew up with dogs, I’ve been dog sitting via Rover for years, volunteering at rescue centers, etc. You're in good hands! - I have an SUV for beach trips, hikes, or providing any pick up/drop off necessary! Just let me know if you need help with coordinating a pick up or drop off with your dog before or after your trip. Please reach out at any time to my via text or phone! Always happy to provide frequent updates and additional pictures! I have my own pup who typically requires a decent bit of exercise, but willing to accommodate your dog’s personal schedule! Living on a park makes it easy to accommodate frequent bathroom trips. I treat all pets like part of the family! Regular interaction, cuddles, tricks, treats, and training when desired. I like to make sure we all head out on minimum one long walk per day.
About: Hello there! I offer small-group hiking adventures for dogs: "Andy for Dogs Marin". Dogs are picked up from home, hike and explore together as a pack, then are dropped back off afterward. It’s a social group activity designed to provide exercise, enrichment, play, and outdoor adventure beyond a regular neighborhood walk. Each adventure includes at least two hours on the trails, usually covering 4–6 miles. Pickup, transportation, and drop-off are on top of the hike, so your dog is typically out for about 3–4 hours total. During our adventures, I reinforce basics such as recall, sit, stay, down, check-ins, and good pack manners. It’s not just exercise—the goal is to give dogs both physical and mental enrichment.
“Krista put us at total ease with our puppy. With both of us working away from home, Krista was able to take Nala for walks and give her some TLC while we were out. She was available on short notice, very communicative, greeted us in advance of the first walk, and sent us regular updates during her walk with our dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our Nala. She has great energy! Thank you again!”
About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 8 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing fetch with him. I work in Tiburon Tuesday through Thursday but have a flexible lunch that I can use for drop in visits. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas
“Mari is AWESOME!!! Mari is the first dog walker I ever used. My dog is very needy and has his ways and routines. Mari adapted to his needs immediately. She is gentle. She loves to talk to my dog. (He understood everything she said.) She is conscious and in-tune with him. Mari put me at ease. (I’m a little overprotective of my pup.) I will use her again and again. I feel he’s safe with Mari and it gives me a feeling of relief. Thank you!”
“Samuel was incredibly easy to communicate with and was able to help with a very last minute request to watch our dog Steve! He took very good care of him, sent lots of photos and went over and above to make sure that he got the exercise and attention that he needed! Thank you Samuel!”

“Zack is my best friend's new best friend! My dog Badger has had issues with other dogs his size and bigger. In a few weeks, Zack has worked with him enough to allow me to walk Badger comfortably on my own. He is super happy when I get home from work and he is getting the exercise he needs! Zack gives extra attention and is a warm and kind person. He sends great pictures of my dog that make me smile when I'm at work. I highly recommend Zack for any care that your dog needs. I'll be rebooking immediately so I don't lose my spot! Thanks Zack! Love, Marci and Badger”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mill Valley
Connor has been an awesome dog walker! I know my dog is in great hands with him and, he is very thorough and leaves helpful notes at the end of every walk. He is personable and an excellent communicator. My dog has a bit of leash aggression and he has handled that very well and helped train my dog Goli (I’ve seen a ton of improvement while he’s been walking him). Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Marielle to help walk your dog. She was very kind to help fill in for a walk last min for our dog Prescott. She was very sweet, patient and knowledgeable when meeting P. I felt at ease meeting her & knowing our dog would be in good hands. Thank you for the walk Marielle! Mike and I appreciate it so much.
Gage cared for our two small dogs while we were on vacation and did an excellent job. From the start, he communicated clearly, arrived on time for every walk, and he was very reliable. We’ll gladly book with him again whenever we need someone to look after our pups!
Carter’s been great with my dog, Nellie. She’s a senior with changing needs, and he always adapts to her energy level and what she needs that day. He’s consistently on time, keeps me updated after every walk, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.
Jackson is great with my dogs. I have one rescue who is very nervous with new people and strangers, particularly men. She warmed up to Jackson quickly as he knew to give her space and not engaged with her until she was more comfortable with his presence. Jackson is really great to work with. He’s responsive and responsible. I look forward to working with Jackson more times..
We highly recommend Devon for any pet-sitting & dog walking needs! She leaves detailed notes and plenty of photos, great to have when we are away and want to make sure our dog is in good hands. We trust our dog is well taken care of any time we leave her with Devon, plus she is so easy-going and a pleasure to communicate with - so grateful we found her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Mill Valley is $34 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $52 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 10,317 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mill Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Mill Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Mill Valley after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mill Valley. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
