David was really great with our dog and two cats. He was very attentive, responsive and provided frequent and detailed photo updates which was very appreciated. David brought a very calm energy to looking after our pets, which was very helpful considering our dog can be quite anxious. I would highly recommend booking David for your petsitting needs. For us, it was our first time using Rover, so we were a little cautious to make sure we got the right person. I felt super at ease with David, and comfortable that he was taking good care of our animals. I will definitely look to him in the future!

Kathryn took excellent care of our dogs and home. She was the most communicative sitter I’ve ever had through Rover. We received many photos, and updates on the dogs’ activity. She went to extra efforts to clean up accidents, as well. I would highly recommend Kathryn!

Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!

Krystle very lovingly cared for my puppies and was soooo patient with their potty training! She was an excellent houseguest--brought in our mail and packages, brought in our garbage cans, and washed her own linens and puppies laundry before our return. She sent daily pics and updates assuring us the puppies were getting exercised, cared for, and cuddled. The house and puppies were in excellent condition on our arrival. Thank you so much, Krystle; you made our vacation extra enjoyable!

About: I was raised in a home full of dogs and cats. We took in any and all strays. Even had a pet duck that lived to be 12 years old. I have bottle fed puppies that the mom dog was too spoiled to care for and my English Bulldog taught me so much about how to deal with a dog with medical challenges. I'm patient and kind. I'm currently working as an assistant TK teacher and I only work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. My apt is safe and I can take them on neighborhood walks or hikes. I'm fully capable of taking care of dogs or cats in my home or yours.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I have owned and taken care of animals for 40 years. I have a way about myself that puts animals on ease and makes them feel welcome. I can not wait to take the best care of your loved and cherished pet. Thank you for your consideration. I am currently on a sabbatical so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I am available weekends, evenings, and mornings. I am available for long-term arrangements. I have a small fenced yard and I love to go on long walks. I give pets lots off affection and attention if they want it. I also just let them relax if that is what they need. Either way I am a very attentive caretaker.

About: From pill pockets to playtime, I’m an experienced vet tech with 15 years of hands‑on experience in Marin County, offering loving pet sitting for healthy pets and those needing medications, special diets, or recovery care. I’m especially comfortable working with anxious or sensitive pets, using patience and calm handling to help them feel safe and secure. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including mobility support, chronic condition management, and gentle, attentive care. I’m flexible with schedules, routines, and last‑minute needs so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into their normal day while you’re away. In emergencies, I stay calm and act quickly, drawing on my veterinary experience to respond appropriately and keep pets safe. You’ll also receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care is an important part of my routine. I’m available for mornings, evenings, and scheduled visits or overnights with a few days’ notice. This allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent, attentive care, including timely feedings, medications, and quality time with each pet. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes for cats, dogs, and other small pets, allowing them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality, ensuring calm, consistent, and individualized care. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, enrichment through play or companionship, and close observation of behavior and wellbeing. With 15 years of veterinary technician experience, I’m confident providing in‑home medical care for a wide range of pets, including oral and injectable medications (such as insulin), Sub‑Q fluids, special diets, and senior or post‑procedure support. I’m especially experienced with anxious, shy, or medically complex pets and use gentle, low‑stress handling appropriate for both cats and dogs and other pets. I respect my clients’ homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide daily updates and photos. If a concern or emergency arises, I stay calm and respond appropriately using my veterinary experience. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving in‑home care giving both pets and their people peace of mind.

About: Hi Pet parents! My name is Sophie and I’ve been a dog owner for all 19 years I’ve been alive - using all of that time to gain experience walking, taking care of, cleaning up after, training, and ensuring the safety of my pups. I’m comfortable with any size level and activity level- I’ve seen it all! I also have experience house sitting and taking care of friend’s/family’s pets while they are away. I’m looking to take care of some animals while I’m home from college for the summer because it’s what I do best! Thank you for entrusting me with the health and needs of your baby 🩷 I’m a college student who is home for the summer! I’m not working any jobs outside of this, so I can give your pup all of the love and attention and exercise they deserve! I have a fenced yard so there is no risk of running into the road and a large house/yard for the dogs to play around in. I have a 10 year old Boston terrier who is extremely friendly and she loves making new friends! If your dog doesn’t work well with others, I have enough space to separate them completely and comfortably.

Cory was excellent! We did a meet and greet before the stay to go over feeding, medications and questions. She arrived exactly on time, which is unusual in this day/age. Was not phased that my dog(s) are pitties. Left for my trip a bit apprehensive about having a new dog/house sitter... but hopeful. I received pictures daily! I came home to a happy, perky pup and a clean place. Definitely will ask (or beg) Cory to come back:-) Looking forward to my next trip!

We could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Marilee, she not only took exceptional care of our kitten, but also went above and beyond to ensure he was stimulated and happy while we were away. She brought him things like string toys and newspapers to play with- which kept him really active and entertained. In addition to her A++ care, she also was great communicating with us. I loved getting little videos and pictures of him every day. I highly recommend Marilee- she really is a cat whisperer! Marilee also

Susan was amazing. We were very concerned about leaving our three dogs for the first time in years especially our 16 yr old with health issues. However, Susan did an incredible job handling the special needs of all three dogs from food issues to medications. On our first meet and greet we could see she was truly an animal lover and had the patience and disposition we were looking for as a dog/house sitter. We would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is looking for to care for their fur babies while out of town. We will definitely be using Susan again!
