About: Hello there! I am a loving pet caregiver and house nurturer living in Marin. I enjoy taking care of animals and people's homes as if they were my very own, with love, respect and better than you left it. I enjoy doing yoga, restorative yoga and adventuring in nature in my spare time. I just finished my 600 hour massage license and 6 month Reiki energy training! My hope is that these intuitive and intentional skills will help assist in a loving and nurturing approach to your pets care needs. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your special fur-family member and home. Warmly, Adrienne I currently work at Good Earth in the Wellness Department and have early mornings, lunch (1pm) and evenings (after 5:30pm) open for feeding, walks and checkins! I currently care for pets overnight in their homes and do not offer boarding service at this time. You can rest assure that I provide a respectful and loving approach to all homes I take care of. 🏡 💛
About: I have been a pet parent to a yellow lab named Sasha. During her lifetime, we went on many hikes, many swim adventures and had lots of snuggle time. I miss her dearly, so to help with that I was a volunteer at Guide Dogs for the Blind. I love both dogs and cats and have been asked by friends and family alike to care for their precious pets. I can provide one on one dog walks as well as potty breaks and cat visits. I've been doing this for 10 years plus. My daily schedule is flexible and I have the capability to fit my schedule around whatever your needs are. I am also happy to make any last-minute changes that a client may have. I make sure that I know each pets veterinary care phone number in case of an emergency. As well, I always make sure the areas that I plan to walk with dogs have a clear path and therefore hopefully free of ticks. When cat sitting or doing drop ins for cat owners I make sure that I have all veterinary and emergency contact info. as well.
About: I am my friends and family's go to pup sitter. From young and old, short and tall and thin and thicc I am the trusted advisor to take care of the fur babies. I love to take long walks, play with toys and provide cuddles. Naturally, i'm favored even more when they receive treats. I currently work from home on central time schedule so end in the early afternoon. I am flexible on weekdays and weekends. I have my own transportation. In my home there are two dogs with a fence. Stemming from my parents house we have a cat where he has multiple catteries. Though my home will not be available.
About: I’m a WFH dog mom in Berkeley with decades of experience caring for small and senior pups. I specialize in 0–40 lb dogs, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra patience or medication support. I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8, starting with neighborhood pups and eventually my own dog, Silky, who was with me for 17 years. Since then I’ve had two more dogs and regularly care for friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, giving oral medications, and reinforcing training you’re already working on. My goal is for your dog to feel like part of the family while you’re away. PS If your dog enjoys (or needs lots of) exercise, I’m happy to provide long walks or gentle runs. I'm currently working from home so have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I am available during the day on weekdays and can coordinate nights and weekends. I live in a single‑family home in San Jose with a fully fenced, pup‑proofed yard. Your dog can relax on the couch, nap in the sun, or hang out with my friendly 14‑year‑old poodle‑terrier mix. Because I work from home, dogs are rarely left alone and can go out for potty breaks every 0–2 hours. I keep a close eye on introductions and always do slow, supervised meet‑and‑greets so everyone feels safe.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent the last year working as a veterinary technician, and worked alongside ranch dogs for two years before that. I am comfortable with dogs (plus cats and ranch animals!) of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My veterinary background also makes me comfortable with medications and specialty care. I really enjoy being able to get to know each pet’s unique personality! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I can accommodate different days and times whenever possible! I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions. My veterinary background has given me experience with pet first aid, medications, and special needs, as well as recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am always excited to meet and spend time with new pets!
“Alacia was super communicative and sent tons of super cute pics of our cat ?. She helped with a few extra requests we made to make sure everything was good at our apartment while we were away.”
“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”
About: I've been a dog walker for 6 years, and feel comfortable walking large dogs that have sensitive triggers. For cats, we have a safe home that is very cat friendly! I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to give as much attention and love as your dog or cat requires! I have a fenced yard (with no house dogs) to keep your kitty and/or pup safe. I can carry out whatever specific needs you may have given the right equipment (if necessary). I'm also happy to travel to clients' homes and will follow any instructions you provide.
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort, treating every pet like a member of my own family. We are a warm, animal-loving family! My 8-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son adore pets, and we love spending quality time walking, playing, and giving them lots of affection. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and gentle companionship in a safe, loving environment! I have a very flexible daily schedule, which allows me to focus fully on pet care. Whether it is morning walks, mid-day playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and needs. Safety is my top priority. I ensure a clean, comfortable, and hazard-free environment for every pet. I strictly follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, and care. I also provide regular photos and daily updates for your peace of mind.
“Gage was the perfect match for our new puppy Ash. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very comfortable with Ash. We’re lucky to have found him and will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you ? Ash is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Caroline did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”
“I don’t really need to explain why Rachel deserves 5 stars, she just does. She was communicative every step of the way and SO patient with my problem puppy (who really just a little anxious). She sent pics and updates every day, came once without pay, and deserves 7/5 stars, let’s be real. She was never ever late, never ever skipped, and made it so easy being thousands of miles away from my babes!”
About: Growing up owning dogs since I was born, I’ve always been passionate about making sure they have the best care. After losing my dog of 14 years, I find myself missing those long walks and hours of playing! That being said, I also understand from first hand experience how to best take care of senior dogs. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and am confident that, given the opportunity, I can become your dog’s (second) favorite person. I am currently working for myself with flexible hours which keeps me very open for watching your pups! I work from home and can be counted on for last minute walks, long walks, shorts walks, and more. Whether you have an older pup who needs meds and love or a puppy who wants to hike all day, I’m ready to make sure your dog is safe, happy, and living their best life. I live in a dog friendly apartment that is off the street. Across from my home is a beautiful park with a fenced in dog park if you are open to that, otherwise I stick to safe dog friendly routes and am happy to continue on your regular walk path or take your dog on an adventure.
“Laura is amazing … she is someone I trust completely with my cat and my home and our peace of mind and security. I plan to request her services for many years to come ~ excellent and completely reliable professional with instant warmth with Mr Tagore 🐾💓🐾”
About: Raised multiple dogs growing up, worked part time for a local dog sitting company as well personal clients for overnight dog sitting. All satisfied dogs and parents! My schedule is extremely flexible- so we are happy to host your pup even on short notice or in emergencies. As a dog parent, I understand that life happens! We have two incredible dogs that are friendly and love being around other dogs- we are happy to accommodate any and all of your dog needs- leash walking, yard, and crates as well! We both work in healthcare with alternating schedules. We will always have plenty of time and energy to give to your pet! Someone will always be available for their needs! In our house, pets are family. We also set basic boundaries for our dogs and the dogs we board. In our home, we expect our dogs to behave while inside- we will provide plenty of opportunities to get their zoomies out!
“Olivia is amazing. Warm energy and very good with our kitty. She took extra time to bond with her and followed all of our directions perfectly. Her updates were super sweet and caring and her photos are borderline professional. Olivia keeps you connected to your pet while you are away. We will use her again and highly recommend her service.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mill Valley
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!
Erin stepped in on a few hours notice and di a wonderful job of keeping my neurotic poodle company and entertained. She was prompt, responsive, resourceful, and such a pleasant young woman to work with! I'd ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat!. Dr. Wendy Everett
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!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mill Valley. 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.
