“Derek and Stella took great care of my pup. Oliver can be nervous with new folks but forgot all about me when he was with them. Thank you for all the great pics and updates!”
“I was very happy with my experience with Jenna (& Ryan). From the very beginning, I felt that Jenna was on top of everything. She had great communication and made me feel like Sady was in great hands. I would definitely book again!”
About: I've always had pets and we are always volunteering to help our friends and recently a friend suggested I do Rover. We have a sweet yellow lab named Lucca ("the big easy") and he is great with ALL dogs. We fostered 7 senior dogs through Muttville in SF from chihuahua to English Mastiff and got them all adopted. We love puppies but hope they are potty trained. We live in Southern Marin with lots of places to walk. My son (12-yrs) is also an avid animal lover, and we never meet a dog we don't try to say hi to and often end up narrating for. Hope to see your furry baby soon!! I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your pup. Also, I would be open to dog-walking if you find you need extra help during the day. While I do not have a fenced yard there are several trails around Tiburon and neighborhoods to walk so happy to take your baby on walks with Lucca and I and if Sam is home from school, I am sure he will join us too!
“Raffie had a wonderful stay with Adriana and her family. This was her second time there and I can’t imagine anyone taking better care of her while we are away. Adriana was very accommodating and communication was excellent. We received daily pictures and updates and saw how much fun Raffie was having. Thanks again!!”
“Gabrielle was great with my dog Bruna. Bruna is epileptic and I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone on Rover—very glad I found her! She made sure that Bruna was well-entertained and cared for, all while staying on top of her medicine schedule. Gabrielle provided end of day summaries which I really appreciated. Would book with her again!”
“Alina was a great last minute option for Ziggy while I headed out of town! Very communicative and flexible around timing, and seems like Ziggy had a genuinely great time. Thank you Alina!”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Joyce was so easy to coordinate with, and she took great care of Blanche! Super responsive to messages, sent regular updates, and Blanche was her normal happy self when she came back home. Definitely recommend!”
“Julia is lovely and trustworthy, and has a lovely family who provided a happy home for our baby boy while I was traveling. She provided regular photos and updates, and was good about following care instructions. I would love to continue to have her take care of my Frenchie.”
“Sonia was amazing with Rufus. She was extremely communicative and shared lots of photos throughout the stay. Rufus came home so happy and seemed like he had the best time ever. We will definitely send him back the next time we’re out of town!”
“Sally was incredible! She was so friendly, communicative, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her. She sent hourly updates with adorable photos and is just a lovely person to chat with. We will definitely be coming back to her and Cosmo!”
“Jesse did a wonderful job of making our pup feel at home while we were away for the week. Nice walks with his dogs and cozy time at home. Thank you, Jesse!!”
“Ivy took such a great care of Toast! She sent us so many pictures and updates! She took him for longer walks and hikes and Toast had a great time! They will for sure be my go-to home for our dog in the future!”
“So grateful for another fabulous stay with Kazu! We thank our lucky stars to have found such an attentive, loving family to care for our pup when we are away. Our pup is already looking forward to the next time!”
“We are deeply grateful to Renee and Chris for taking such excellent care of our dog. They were attentive, reliable, and communicative, keeping us well-informed with regular pictures and videos.”
“If I could give Matt a 10 star.... I definitely would!!! He was so great with my lil pooch!! If you need a dog sitter.. and you want a hassle free, great sitter.. pick Matt!!!! We will be back. Roxie says woof!!”
“Alvin and his partner took good care of Sunlight. Sunlight had a week long stay that was more of an extended play-date with his new buddy Sterling. Also, plenty of attention and affection. We look forward to next time!”
“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.”
“Sue is a caring, attentive and detail oriented sitter and I highly recommend her! For our first booking with Sue, we boarded our 4 lb Yorkie for 7 days and she was wonderful with our dog. She sent daily photos and communicated in a very timely manner. She had no trouble giving our squirmy dog her daily medication and, when our flights were later than planned, Sue was flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be booking with Sue again!”
“Our bulldog Roxy stayed with Isabel for 2 nights and spent the days with a fabulous crew of new dog friends - walking, playing and exploring. We won’t hesitate to go to Isabel again for dog sitting or walking!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sausalito
Adriana was so kind, easygoing, and welcoming, and she made us feel comfortable from the very beginning! She took the time to meet Mila beforehand on a walk and let Mila approach her at her own pace, which we really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. She made everything so convenient by picking up and dropping off Mila, taking her on walks, and sending us videos to keep us updated. Her son also spent time playing with Mila, which was so sweet! I even accidentally had a Target order delivered to her house, and she kindly dropped it off along with our dog. We would highly recommend Adriana and will absolutely be using her again! Thank you so much for making the experience of leaving our fur baby so comfortable, stress-free, and convenient. We truly appreciate you! ❤️
Mariam was wonderful with our husky Luna! She is calm and confident and I could tell that Luna was totally at ease and content in her company. She brought her on beautiful hikes and made her home so comfortable for Luna. I would be totally confident recommending her as a dog sitter. We will definitely ask Mariam to mind/ walk Luna again and I know Luna will be delighted to see her!:)
Karen is amazing! After our meet and greet my dogs were so excited to be back at her place! She is so thoughtful and considerate of what is best for the dogs. My dogs were so happy to be there and came back calm and happy! I can tell they are getting a lot of love while staying with Karen!
Halee took such loving care of our Frenchie Avocado! She was very communicative the whole time, sending updates and photos which we loved. Location is very convenient, and her space is great for dogs; also close to several places to run around and socialize. Highly recommended!
I cannot say enough good things about Megan! She took such good care of my dog while also welcoming her into the daily routine with her own sweet pup. Throughout the stay she sent updates and adorable photos that showed just how attentive and loving she was and my dog made such great friends with her dog which was so sweet to see! It felt like my dog was on her own vacation, getting plenty of playtime, snuggles and outdoor adventures. When she got home, she was relaxed, content and clearly had the best time. Megan is warm, responsible, communicative and genuinely cared about my dog's happiness, I would definitely recommend!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sausalito
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sausalito is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $131 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 5,097 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sausalito. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Sausalito can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sausalito 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 Sausalito.
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 Sausalito 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.
