About: Hi! I have always loved animals. I have had dogs my entire life since we adopted my first dog, a black lab, from the humane society when I was 5. I have also volunteered at the humane society for many years on a regular basis. I am home full time right now and my priority is giving the animals I look after the best possible care and of course lots of love! I just want them to be happy and comfortable with me. Reach out with any questions you may have. This is my main job at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. Therefore, my number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while at home or out on an adventure. I have no pets myself right now so I have a lot of time and energy to care for your dogs and cats. I have cared for many of my own pets, and they lived happy, long lives. With me, you have a trustworthy, competent, and caring animal lover.
“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”
“Charles took great care of our pets while we were gone and needed someone to check on them. He sent detailed updates and pictures and they were very happy with with him 😄, would recommend!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise
“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”
“Amber is an excellent cat sitter. She is responsible, on time, and got along great with my cat Jimi. I was very careful in selecting someone to take care of my cat and am happy to have chosen Amber. I'm planning to hire her again the next time I go out of town.”
“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 taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm always taking care of the dogs I only work with dogs, sometimes I help a special children's company. Picking them up from school and taking them home. I stay at most 3 hours away from home I can give all the care and affection to your dog. Walking with him on the street two or three times a day. I have the backyard for playtime
“Devon was awesome! She took great care of our senior cat and helped make sure the house was taken care of during our trip. She was super responsive and went above and beyond. Highly recommend her for your furry friends.”
About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.
“If you have any doubts about leaving your furry friend in the care of a home sitter, Marisa will put your anxieties to rest. She took great care of my good buddy Gus the Cat, hanging out with him, giving him treats, and sending daily images of the little guy. I simply could not be more pleased, or grateful.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.
“We loved having Kelsey take care of our pup, Easton! We were in a bind and having Kelsey swing by to take Easton out and ensure she was taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. Will definitely be requesting her help again in the future :)”
“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.”
About: Alison Certified: Understanding Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business I have cared for many types of animals over the years. I go out of my way to help stray and adopted animals. I have helped friends and family over the years, with bottle feedings, walks, bathing, grooming, and medications. I have a very nice dog park across the street. I can take your dog there if you would like. I also am with Axen Realty outside of pet sitting for any real estate needs. ¡Hablo español también! Soy bilingüe y si podemos comunicarnos en español. Hablar en español de las mascotas está bien conmigo. Im available to care for your pet any day of the week. I have a open schedule for the following weeks. I can work with your schedule and if you need an overnight stay I can help with cleaning duties. I will send you pictures during the visit to ensure you that your pet is completely safe. Safety and happiness are of the upmost importance to me. Let me know what extra security measures that your special fur baby will need while you are away.

San Anselmo cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using River and I have to say I was beyond pleased! Anne was amazing. She sent photos and updates for me which made being away from my kitties so much more relaxing. When I arrived home it felt like I hadn’t been away. My house was in order and my cats were very calm. I will definitely use her again!
Amazing! Lydia has taken care of my cat several times and she is the person I go to when I need incredible, thoughtful cat care-- she goes above and beyond and really puts me at ease. Lydia is genuinely invested in caring for my kitty cat and that is priceless.
Chuck was fantastic and went way above and beyond for me when he watched my cat. He was very responsive and kind and patient when I was worried. I can’t recommend him highly enough. There should be more than five stars available for someone as good as he was.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Olivia is well-loved on here for a reason! She is warm, caring and responsible. You will have nothing to worry about even if you are the most anxious type of pet parent, as I am after trying so many sitters over the years and some of them have not been great. These days I have a very shy and skittish type of kitty, he wouldn't come out at all (even after several days) for the last sitter I tried. With Liv, it's a totally different story. He not only ate well (which was an issue the last time I tried to leave him), but also he came out for his dinner while she was there, and allowed pets!! She made an effort to show that she was reading the detailed instructions I left, communicated exactly how everything went with notes and photos, and just generally has a gentle, sweet energy that would put anyone at ease. She clearly takes pride in doing things well, and it shows that she loves animals. I feel lucky to have found her to care for my little guy!
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!
Sue did an excellent job caring for my two cats while I was away for 2 days. She came twice a day to feed them and take of litter box duty. She sent great photos from each visit that illustrated the trust the cats developed in her during this short while. This was especially noteworthy because one of my two cats is very shy and cautious around new people. She played with them each visit either an interactive wand/feather toy, much to the delight of the shy cat in particular. Sue has excellent communication skills. I had a very good conversation with her prior to the sit that led me to believe she’d be a good fit for caring for my cats. I’d love to have her return in the future when I need short-term cat care again.
