“Leonard was awesome to work with on all levels! He took care of my dog both as an in home sitter for overnight stay and for day sitting. He was extremely easy to work with as he would flex his hours everyday according to my schedule. My dog absolutely loved him! He took her to the beach and hiking and was always with her at home. He even bought her a toy on his last day which he let her select (not surprising that the toy closely resembles a squirrel :). Leonard also has a very pleasant and approachable personality - I would highly recommend him to take care of your dog. I look forward to Leonard and my dog reuniting on another stay!”


“Marisa took great care of Cody while we were away for a long holiday. She was communicative and responsive. Cody can get bored and itch himself and she let us know she'd keep an eye out for it. We felt at ease that Cody was in good hands!”


“Carla is just wonderful! I trusted her the moment I opened the door to meet for the first time. She let me know what her plan was & sent pictures during & after of our sweet husky! Thank you so much Carla, you’re amazing!!”


About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

About: For $20 off your first Rover sit, click this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kathrk79757 Hi, I’m Kathryn, a transplant from the East Coast with a special love of animals. I say special because I was never allowed to have pets growing up so, for the past several years, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve cared for spry and senior dogs, aloof and engaged kitties, tailoring my efforts to each one’s specific needs. Whether you need someone to walk and play with your pooch or be a loving companion to your furry friend when you can’t be there, I’ll slip seamlessly into their routine, minimizing disruption with snuggles and attention. My “leave no trace” approach means that you’ll return to a house in pristine condition, with sheets and towels laundered, the bed remade, the vacuuming done, etc. so you can enjoy a carefree reunion with your pet. I believe that my professionalism and caring, detail-oriented methods set me apart. I’ve traveled the world to care for peoples’ cats and dogs while their owners are away, regularly returning to a community in France where my network has grown organically through word of mouth recommendations. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me hiking on one of the many majestic trails this region has to offer or engaging in creative pursuits like jewelry making and design. As a freelancer and entrepreneur, I have a fluid schedule which allows me to shift directions quickly and effectively. I prefer this method of operating as I seldom have a dull moment during the day. I’m proud to have the trust of many repeat clients who praise my reliability and the bond I have with their pets. I know how important peace of mind is so regularly update my clients with photos, videos and messages.

“This was my first booking with Colton and he was terrific. Accommodating on short notice, communicative, timely, and very kindly gave my dog his medicine in addition to his walk. So appreciate his help! Would absolutely book again.”

I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.


“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”


About: As a dog & cat mom, I know the importance of finding trustworthy care for your family members. I have extensive experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, cats, rabbits & birds.

I work full-time from home & have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry kids. I will only take on a limited number of clients to ensure the best care possible. I understand the importance of creating a safe environment, having adopted 2 timid dogs. Making sure to understand the pets individual needs & the owners requests for care is the first priority. I am extremely cautious of entering/leaving homes, double checking that doors are secure & locked. Sending updates & asking questions if I’m unsure of something.

About: Hello! I have been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old. I love going on walks with them and especially spending all my time with them.

My top priority is keeping your dog safe from any type of harm and when I am with your dog, I am present and focused.

About: While I was in high school my mom had a successful Rover business. I would help with bookings and taking care of the dogs. I consistently house sat & pet sit a cat in LA for about a year.

I will ensure the safety and happiness of the pet as well as leave the house in the condition it came in and all things are cleaned up.
