About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my family currently has two Labs, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel happy. I also have several years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, caring for dogs and other animals while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and well exercised. Whether it’s an energetic walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time with them, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treating them with patience and tenderness. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins throughout the week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during visits. For walks, I pay attention to leash safety, surroundings, and each pet’s energy level and needs. During check-ins, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals or medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also try to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, unaltered, and following any specific care instructions closely.
“Alacia is the best! Our cat Nova seems to have officially accepted her into the family. We couldn’t be luckier to have her stopping by to look after the little one. Thank you again for everything!”
“Kirsta always does a lovely job taking care of our girl. She makes sure she gets her medication and sends loads of updates with pictures. We so appreciate her attentiveness and her genuine love for animals. ❤️”
About: I have volunteered at Humane Societies with all kinds of pets because animals are my passion, and have had pets for almost 30 years. I currently have had a wonderful cat named Latte for 6 years and I couldn't live without her. I am available during the day to walk your dog or take it to play at a dog park, or check in on your cat and give it plenty of love, food, and attention. I make sure the pets I look after are cared for like my own, and their safety, comfort, and security are a top concern of mine.
“Laura diligently took care of our cats, adhering to their feeding schedule and also spending an abundant amount of time playing with them & giving them attention. Very communicative also. Thanks so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and even horses. Growing up in a home where animals were part of everyday life (my dad worked in horse racing!), caring for pets has always come naturally. Though I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve been a dedicated dog dad for over 20 years, always having two dogs by my side. I walk my own pups every day and make all of their food from scratch—yes, they’re very loved (and very spoiled!). I’ve also regularly pet sat for friends and family and am confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I used to have a Great Dane/St. Bernard mix, so handling large or giant breeds is second nature to me. Whether you’ve got a gentle giant or a feisty little pup, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and lots of behind-the-ear scritchins! Let me help your dog get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to customize walks to your dog’s needs and energy level. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule varies a bit from day to day, but it’s consistent from week to week. I work some mornings and some evenings, but those shifts rarely change, so when you and your pup love me, it will be easy enough to work out a schedule that works for everyone! I am always off on Fridays and Sundays. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I am always happy drop in to your place for play or potty breaks. Also, as my pups are cared for when I’m not around, I am also available to stay at your home for short trips!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a young kid and addition of owning my own dog, I’ve taken care of other dogs. I like dogs of any type and have experience walking bigger dogs I’m frequently open and have many responses to take care of my own pets. I can usually always be open when needed, especially given prior notice I have a fully fenced backyard in which the dogs can run around. I am better suited to take care of your dog at your home or surrounding area
“Megan was amazing with our beagle. She was communicative, respectful and sent tons of photos and updates! She responded to our beagle’s needs (shy, needs outdoor time) and our dog was so happy under her care. Highly recommend this sitter.”
“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful and the most diligent, caring sitter my kitties have ever been lucky enough to have. Caring for and loving animals is innate to Tiffany’s character and I am very grateful she dedicates her spare time to this mission.”
“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”
“Cecilia checked in on our cats for a week while we were gone and kept us updated on every visit, how the cats were doing, as well as pictures of them. Everything was great when we returned to happy cats!”
“I can’t recommend Anjali enough! She took amazing care of my cats while I was away, and I could tell right away that she truly love animals. She was reliable, communicative, and even got my more shy cat to fall in love with her. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Definitely my go to cat sitter from now on!”
“Krystle was amazing - so responsive, responsible, and thoughtful of our dogs needs!! I will definitely be reaching out to her again, we are so appreciative of your help Kystle ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with a variety of different dog breeds. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for over 6 years and I am a big dog lover. I currently am off for summer break and only taking a remote online class so I have plenty of time to care for any person I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I live in a walkable neighborhood that I can take your pet on great walks outside and frequently!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mill Valley
Can’t say enough good things about Tamika. She instantly took to our girls and while they’re loves, they also need someone who can lead them so they don’t get mischievous. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds and knew just how to treat them and followed our instructions and requests exactly. And she definitely gave them plenty of love too. Everything you’d hope fon a dog sitter!!! We feel SO lucky to have found her on Rover!
Tatiana was awesome! She came twice a day and took great care of our cat Sonny. She was always on time and it was nice that he could keep his same eating schedule while we traveled. He seemed relaxed and happy around her, which was what I was hoping for. She also took great care of watering my flowers! And did some nice extra things like taking out the trash and vacuuming before she left. Would definitely recommend her!
Veronica was an amazing cat sitter for my boys! Her communication was excellent from start to finish—she kept us updated regularly and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly paid attention to our cat’s specific needs and preferences, which meant so much to us. She even went the extra mile to pick up some packages and deal with unexpectedly running out of their food. On top of that, she was kind and gentle with our cats and gave great daily updates. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her services!
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
Claire did a great job taking care of my cat (Kermit) while I went away for 10 days over the holidays. She showed up every morning to give him his wet food, clean his litter box, play with him and give him a few pets. Kermit was in good shape and spirits when I returned. Definitely recommend and would book with her again!
Natalie has been amazing with our 4-month old pup! She’s been coming regularly to walk/play/feed him, and is super responsive, reliable, always updates me, and most importantly, our puppy loves Natalie! She’s also brought her dog with her (after asking me if it was ok, which I gladly said yes to!), and her dog has also been great with my puppy and helps tire him out:) would highly recommend.

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 Mill Valley 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.

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.
