About: I have owed dogs my entire life and as an adult have always had a dog that our household revolves around. My current dog is a high energy Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix so I do as many walks and hikes and training sessions as I can to wear him out each day. After a few walks he is more than happy to chill too if your dog is more laid back. I have a single family home in a quiet neighborhood in Corte Madera with a fenced yard. I take walks at least 3-4 times per day around the neighborhood and park a few blocks away and frequent longer hikes or dog park visits as appropriate. And playing in the back yard and lounging in the sun is also a favorite activity. My husband and two kids also live here and adore dogs but I will be the one providing care. I am not working right now but normally work remotely so have plenty of time to dote over the dogs we care for. We have a flexible schedule and can work around the pup’s needs. I have a secure fenced yard and plenty of space for them to play out there. We take many walks through the day around the neighborhood or on hikes around Marin.
“Krystle has been great with my dog, who hates walks without me. My dog is happy to see her come to the door and enjoy the walks. Krystle is always on time and responsive to the needs of me and my dog. I’m so happy I found her on Rover.”
“Samuel was incredibly easy to communicate with and was able to help with a very last minute request to watch our dog Steve! He took very good care of him, sent lots of photos and went over and above to make sure that he got the exercise and attention that he needed! Thank you Samuel!”
“Very quick response and accommodating to a last minute request. Walk + nail trim went very smooth. Glad I didn’t have to make an extra trip to the groomer. You can tell Nima greatly cares about animals and treats them like his own.”
About: Hi, I’m Jackie! Animals have always been a big part of my life- from mini lop-eared rabbits to horses, and I now have a 8 year old Beagle, Finley and my 1 year old Beagle, Kenzie whom go just about everywhere with me. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets, administering medication, and working with deaf and blind dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I will provide patient, attentive care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I will also encourage good listening and good behavior with rewards while they are with me. For house sitting, I’m neat, and quiet, treating your home as if it were my own. Whether you need a trustworthy, reliable sitter or a dog walker, I’ll care for your house and pets as if they were my own. I am currently available full time. I am happy to come to your house and stay there if needed but would need to bring my beagle, Finley, with me. I treat my clients’ pets and homes with the same care and respect as I would my own. For pets, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also following any specific routines, dietary needs and medication schedules they may have. With extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those with special needs, I’m comfortable administering medication and providing extra patience and care for aging or anxious animals. For home care, I am neat, responsible, and quiet, treating each home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean and organized, water plants, bring in mail, and ensure everything remains secure. Whether clients are gone for a few hours or an extended period of time, they can feel confident that their pets and home are in reliable and trustworthy hands.
About: I have had cats since I was 2, they are amazing. I give my cat medication everyday. I may not have a dog but I wish I did. I love being with dogs and going on their “sniff walks”. I am currently in college right now as a second year. I have a fair amount of free time. I am free all weekend, when not at home. At my home I have a fully fenced backyard. At your house, I will follow the directions you give me to a tea, to give everyone peace of mind. 🙂
About: As a Marin County Native, I’m no stranger to the outdoors. Growing up I loved taking my dogs on long hikes, exploring the vast landscape of the Northbay. Professionally, I’ve been pet & house sitting for almost a decade. Primarily catering to a very private & discreet clientele, I am adept at managing long term or short term sittings under strict guidelines & conditions. When caring for dogs, I take them on two, 20 - 30 minute walks, one in the morning & one at night, as well an hour long dog park visit. Each dog is different & requires a specific routine, many of my clients have special requests, that are happily accommodated upon request. When sitting a clients residence, I provide quality care to all pets. Additionally, my policy is to leave the space better than I found it.
“We have had lots of dog walkers over the years as my wife is a doctor, and her on call schedule is chaotic. We found Zack after our previous dog walker moved away. Our 2 year old Husky Lizzie is very high energy and requires a lot of attention and a competent handler. Zack is that and so much more! He is extremely in control and understands her behavior and how to get the best out of her. He is affectionate to Lizzie, and she always is so happy when we get home. Zack is one of the absolute best we have had. He is considerate of time and schedule”

I have a fenced yard and a car as well for transportation. The not only safety of your pet but stability and sense of love is very important to me.

I currently have a flexible work schedule, so have plenty of extra time to dedicate to your pup! - I live in a home just a few short blocks from the park, with a variety of dog friendly places within walking distance. 5-10 minutes away from amazing hiking trails, so there is quite a bit to see and do. - i’m extremely active (typically run every morning, and often head out on long hikes or day trips over the weekend), so am more than happy to wear your pup out running or playing if it's something they enjoy.

I like to make sure we all head out on minimum one long walk per day.
About: Pets have been an important part of our family for over 50 years. We have raised a Basenji, a couple of labs, cute mutts, many cats, even squirrels. During the last year, I have been pet and house sitting for others, who have requested me back many times when they are away. I give their pets the same care and love I give my pets. Currently, we have three adorable and loving cats roaming our home. I have also cared for My mother, mother and father in law and my husband in my home full time during their declining years. I'm retired and working as a pet sitter, when requested. Being retired gives me the freedom to house or pet sit at any time if I am not already working for someone else. I usually have overnight pet sitting. I request a schedule they already have for their pet/pets that I can follow. Feeding times, bathroom, and exercises their pets are comfortable with. I also request vet and emergency phone numbers. Phone numbers of neighbors they trust is always nice.

About: Throughout high school, I would help dog-sit for family friends. I was very reliable and able to help feed, walk, and play with their animals. I also cared for coworkers' animals when they were gone for vacation, and I was entrusted with keeping their living space clean. Growing up, I had four large dogs: 2 labs and 2 boxer mixes. I work as a vet assistant, so I have hands-on experience when it comes to administering medication. I currently work part-time as a vet assistant, so I have a lot of free time on the days I don't go in, giving me plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I'm available most days throughout the week; just reach out! I like to go in and make it seem like I was never there. Simply do what is asked of me and leave without causing any disturbance. When it comes to the fur babies, I like to care for them as if they are my own and treat them like my own pets. I'm more than happy to help tidy up any place as well.
“Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in San Quentin is $28
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Quentin
Marielle is a perfect match for our rescue dog Sky! Marielle actually already knew our dog when she was at Milo Foundation, so they have a special connection! She truly understands dog behavior and is very experienced with walking and caring for dogs. We needed to find a dogwalker that could handle Sky's high energy level, instinctual prey drive, and potential reactive behavior with other dogs. We found just that with Marielle and so much more!
I cannot recommend Alexia highly enough! She did an absolutely amazing job walking my dog, Oreo. She really took the time to understand Oreo’s individual needs, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in caring, capable hands. Alexia was punctual, reliable, and always responded promptly to my messages. Her love for animals shines through, and Oreo is already excited for his next walk with her! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog thoughtful, attentive care, Alexia is a fantastic choice. We’re so happy we found her!
I just moved to the area and needed help with daily walks for a while for my dog Shayna. Veronica has stepped in and helped us out majorly! Not to mention, Shayna has some quirks and special needs which Veronica has been very understanding of, and she is great at providing updates and communication.
Connor has been an awesome dog walker! I know my dog is in great hands with him and, he is very thorough and leaves helpful notes at the end of every walk. He is personable and an excellent communicator. My dog has a bit of leash aggression and he has handled that very well and helped train my dog Goli (I’ve seen a ton of improvement while he’s been walking him). Highly recommend!
Carter’s been great with my dog, Nellie. She’s a senior with changing needs, and he always adapts to her energy level and what she needs that day. He’s consistently on time, keeps me updated after every walk, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.
Jackson is great with my dogs. I have one rescue who is very nervous with new people and strangers, particularly men. She warmed up to Jackson quickly as he knew to give her space and not engaged with her until she was more comfortable with his presence. Jackson is really great to work with. He’s responsive and responsible. I look forward to working with Jackson more times..
We highly recommend Devon for any pet-sitting & dog walking needs! She leaves detailed notes and plenty of photos, great to have when we are away and want to make sure our dog is in good hands. We trust our dog is well taken care of any time we leave her with Devon, plus she is so easy-going and a pleasure to communicate with - so grateful we found her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in San Quentin is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $54 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,621 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Quentin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in San Quentin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in San Quentin after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Quentin. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
