About: I adore dogs! I have cared for many pets and homes throughout my life, from small dogs and puppies to Brittanys and Labs. I am very experienced in walking dogs, playing with them, and providing their basic food and water needs. I genuinely love dogs, and can't get enough of them. I have also cared for birds, fish, and other small pets such as hamsters and Guinea pigs. I am an expert caretaker of homes, both apartments and houses. I have served as a long-term housesitter for friends and families, and while I am not a homeowner, I have rented numerous houses and cared for them meticulously. I also absolutely love gardening and am quite experienced, so I am more than happy to provide gardening and landscaping maintenance. I am a professor, so I have a lot of flexibility in the summer months until mid to late August. During the summer months, I teach a bit and do some activities, but I am able to be home as much as needed to care for pets. I am careful and conscientious with pets. I make sure they have enough to eat, drink, and enough exercise. I am good at taking dogs on walks, and I follow owners' instructions to the letter.
About: I grew up on a farm in Australia and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a rescue dog of my own. I have shelter volunteer experience in which I’ve been trained to handle a variety of dog breeds and temperaments. It would be my pleasure to take care of your dog as I would my own! I love to run also so feel free to request some extra speed on the walks for high energy pups! I work remotely as a software engineer with a flexible schedule. I’m usually busy with meetings early morning but after that I’m all yours! Weekends can be less predictable but happy to work in times with some notice. I’m a shelter volunteer so have been trained in how to create safe environments and identify risk factors. I will always put the dogs well being first and take on board all requests and advice from the owners.
“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.”
About: I have always love animals and have been volunteering at WildCare for two years. I love dogs and cats and I have owned multiple cats throughout my life. I currently have two black kitties, Calypso and Sylvia, who follow me around whenever I’m home. I have cat-sit many cats mostly through friends and always love meeting new characters. I love dogs as well and have had experience dog walking and sitting for friends. I am a college student home for the summer, so I have lots of time to care for your pet! I am free most weekends and weekdays apart from Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. I can do mornings or afternoons As a dog-walker I can take your dog around the neighborhood or in my car depending on the comfort level of the client! As a cat-sitter I am comfortable spending multiple hours with your house playing, petting, and just being near your cats.
About: Hi, I’m a teacher on summer break who is in N. CA for all of June and July. I’m hoping to earn extra $ over the summer to offset travel expenses and get to spend time in nature while doing it. I love animals and think of this as a win/ win! The photos in my profile are of dogs I’ve cared for over the years (for friends, neighbors, family, and through Trusted Housesitters where I’ve stayed in people’s homes). I look forward to meeting you and your treasured pet. Free and flexible during the day and evening! During the summer months I don’t work. During the school year I’m free between 4pm - 10pm. I can not care for pets in my own home in June or July, as I’ll be traveling and staying with friends. I am available to walk your pets!
About: I have always grown up with pets in the house! I’ve also sat a variety of animals, breeds and temperaments. Always been a big animal lover! I currently have a very flexible and open schedule. I love being active and outdoors and always love to have a pet companion for that! I’d like to make the client as comfortable as possible, adhering to what they want for their pet and their environment. Obviously welcome animals into my home with lots of love and care.
“Chris was easy to communicate with, thoughtful in his questions. His even keeled temperament was a great fit for our 8 month old puppy. He shared photos and potty info which was also super helpful. Our pup came home happy (and ready for a nap!)”
“Leyla was a great, reliable walker for us when we were in need. There was one day where the walk wasn’t recorded with Rover, but we are able to confirm she came via our home cameras. We would definitely feel comfortable booking her for a walk again!”
“Jill was fantastic! She was on time and happy and clearly loves dogs! Trigger was happy too and tired when he got home. I loved the photo and seeing the map of where they walked. I would definitely use Jill and Rover again!”
“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!”
About: I'm a mother, former teacher, and HUGE animal lover! I’ve been a SPCA & Marin Human Society volunteer, foster parent to rescue dogs for 25+ yrs. I used to work at All Animals Emergency Hospital in SF so understand animal safety and have extensive experience with caring pets and administering medications if needed. I have older children who grew up around animals and who also happen to absolutely love dogs (and all animals). They will often help play and socialize with them if appropriate. I have experience caring for senior dogs, blind dogs and pets with special needs (i.e. medication and specific diet/nutritional requirements). I currently work from home and grateful to have a flexible schedule so I can prioritize caring for your furry friends and take them on walks as much as possible. I work from home and available for pet sitting, walking and boarding. I love to walk/hike be outside (morning, afternoon and evening) and available 7 days a week! I am conveniently located by Marin Country Mart by Larkspur Courts Apartments with amazing dog walking trails, a dog park and pond. Lots of opportunities for socializing with other friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I work from home so can take your pup outside anytime and make sure they get enough exercise and sunshine. I have teenage children who absolutely adore dogs and any furry animal we bring home as they grew up fostering kittens, puppies, rabbits and more! We have walking paths steps away with a dog park (if you like) and duck pond and other trails along Corte Madera creek and Marin County Mart in Larkspur. Lots of furry friends are welcome in this area!
About: Lifelong dog owner experienced caring for dogs at every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs with ongoing health needs. Comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and following detailed care instructions. I provide attentive, reliable care focused on keeping each dog safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as my primary focus right now. I’m currently dedicating my time to building consistent availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I plan my schedule around each booking to ensure reliable, attentive care. This allows me to be flexible, responsive, and fully present for each pet I’m caring for. I care for pets in a way that prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort in their familiar environment. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk guidelines, and house rules to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament, energy level, and needs so I can adjust my approach accordingly, whether that’s a calm drop-in visit, an active walk, or extended sitting care. During walks and potty breaks, I stay attentive to surroundings, use secure leashing at all times, and avoid risky interactions with unfamiliar animals. For drop-ins and sitting, I focus on companionship, play, feeding, and maintaining cleanliness, including litter boxes or accident cleanup as needed. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care that keeps pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“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: Warm dog mom to a 13-year-old dachshund! I provide a structured, fun, and cozy environment with potty breaks every two hours and plenty of walks I'm home full time as I transition to my next job in the Bay Area. I can help with overnight stays, walks and general dog care! In my home, I provide a structured, cozy, and safe environment for pets. I have a small patio with no escape route, ensuring a secure outdoor space. When walking dogs, I’m highly aware of my surroundings to keep them protected at all times. I do not crate my own dog, but I’m happy to do so if that’s your preference. Every pup in my care receives the same love and attention my dog gets, regular potty breaks, and plenty of blankets to make them feel at home!

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..
Marielle was exactly who we needed to help with our dogs; we're so grateful to have found her! She confidently handled our two dogs walking through the neighborhood, including one that has some leash aggression and one that is prone to eating whatever he can find. She was punctual, communicative, and reported all the details of the walks each day - including photos! We knew our dogs were in good hands; we'll definitely be contacting her again for future walks. She's the best!
Caroline was great to work with when coordinating a walk for my dog, gave very special attention to my dog (and got some great photos from their walk), and by the time Caroline brought my dog back from her walk, my typically shy dog was already ready to go out on a walk again with Caroline!
Sarah was excellent to work with -- communicative, friendly, and great with our girls. They are each 40lbs of energy and not the easiest to control sometimes -- but she worked with them to earn their trust and be their walk leader. Additionally, even though most of the walks were scheduled during a heat wave, zero complaints from Sarah, and she smartly knew to make the sure dogs didn't get overheated by limiting the distance and making sure they had water. Highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a conscientious person to take care of their pets!

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 your 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in San Quentin.

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
