“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.”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!”
“Sylvia and her family are all we hoped they would be. Attentive, reliable, caring, thoughtful, well-organized and responsive. Not only did they take wonderful care of our dog while we were away, they sent pictures daily and maintained a schedule I knew would keep our dog well. I could let go completely, knowing our put was in great hands AND having wonderful time. We will be back.”
“Jaimi took amazing care of our dog, Maizie. She and her loved ones treated Maizie as a member of their family and the frequent photo updates were a delight. Knowing that Maizie was so well cared for made our travel worry-free. We highly recommend Jaimi and have already made arrangements to have Maizie stay with her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).
“Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.”
“Jesse was absolutely great with Suge! Whenever I reached out, he responded quickly and sent a picture/video too! It was so nice. Pick up and drop off went smoothly as well. Will definitely be booking with Jesse if need be in the future!”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“Our Bernedoodle Wilbur had a wonderful time staying the night with Marisa and her sweet family. Marisa was loving and kind with Wilbur, giving me updates on how he was doing and his eating. We will definitely ask Marisa again to care for Wilbur. We highly recommend!”
“We highly recommend Madeline and Alex. They were very responsible, provided a ton of ongoing updates, and were very easy to work with. Our dog had a great time with their kids and in general. We will go back to them again.”
“Nadya is an absolute gem!! Trustworthy, knowledgeable, a great communicator, and easy to work with! She kept us updated and sent photos each day. We were able to enjoy our vacation so much thanks to her incredible care :)”
“Ariane looked after our dog for four nights while we were away, and she was amazing! Our dog immediately took to her and I could tell he would be in the best hands. He looked so comfortable and happy when I picked him up, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very communicative and sent daily photos and videos of him. We look forward to using Ariane again soon!”
“Abby seemed to have a wonderful time! Carla was very communicative, worked with us on our timing, and shared lots of sweet photos. We will definitely be happy to work with her again!”
“Christian was great taking care of our little Fig. He was very prompt at responding to our last-minute request and was a good communicator overall. It sounds like he has a lot of experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We will definitely be using Christian again!”
“Yina took excellent care of my pup and I appreciated that she kept in touch while I was away. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a calm and caring place for your pet.”
“Daisy had a great time with Jessica! We got lots of photos, and we knew she was being looked after really well. With some other stays, Daisy had been muted and sad afterwards, so we always worried about how she'd been treated. However, with Jessica, Daisy was her normal self, so we're really happy. On the way back our flight was cancelled, and Jessica was very understanding and flexible, it really made our stressful experience better. Thank you so much!!”
“Kelly Ann was great with our dog Digby. She went above and beyond to give him great care and love. He's an older diabetic dog and she gave him 2 insulin shots a day and made sure he had plenty of water to drink. She took him on walks and gave him a lot of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Kelly Ann.”
“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.”

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our little guy, George. She made sure he was eating on time and walked him as needed. He came home with a few more pounds, which is excellent, since is a picky little eater, so that was magical and excellent! We highly recommend her services, and we will be back for more!
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.
Jennifer was an amazing sitter! She communicated with us throughout Murphy’s stay and went above and beyond. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was well looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking with Jennifer again in the future!
Nahir & Mitchell looked after our dog Lilly for three weeks while we were away. She had only met them once but from the beginning we could tell she felt comfortable with them. We received daily updates and photographs from them which was comforting, especially as she is an older dog and can be anxious. Lilly has adjusted well to being back home and we attribute this to the good care she had while we were gone. We highly recommend Nahir & Mitchell for pet care. We would happily leave her with them again.
Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!
Lori and Frank took such amazing care of Sophie last weekend! She absolutely loves them, and it’s clear they treated her like part of their family. They spoiled her with so much love, attention, and care, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was with them. Sophie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I’m so grateful to have found people I trust so much with my pup. Highly recommend Lori and Frank to anyone looking for caring, dependable dog sitters!
Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.
Chris + Aiste took care of my dog Ackee like their own! When we arrived at their house she felt immediately at home and i knew she would be well taken care of. They truly seemed to enjoy and see the best in her and she had so much fun. They sent me many updates of her going on hikes and napping in the sun. Ackee would love to stay with them again!
Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
Jaimi was exceptional! Having just rolled into town from out of state and posting my dogsitting need on Rover on short notice, Jaimi was quick to provide a friendly response as well as to answer my rapid fire questions, offering a meet and greet with she and her cute and well-behaved dog, Ollie. My dog (whom I rarely place into a stranger’s care) has a history of seizures and is need of routine pill administration and careful oversight. Jaimi was super attentive and followed my protocol to a “t”. My dog loved her, Ollie and the family, as did I. I will use her again in an instant and refer her to my friends and family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Anselmo on Rover is $84.36 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,534 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Anselmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of San Anselmo sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which San Anselmo landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Anselmo 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 San Anselmo.
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.
You and your San Anselmo 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.
