About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, sniffing every tree, or just wants company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep routines consistent, administer basic medications if needed, and send plenty of photo updates so you know your pet is having a great time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m excited to build my profile by providing dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved. I’m getting married next year and would love to make a bit of additional income doing something I’m genuinely passionate about :) I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Mondays are my in-office day, but otherwise I’m available most weekdays and weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, preferred walking routes, or special routines. I believe in clear communication and will send photo updates after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Hello ! Although I am new to Rover, I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and have always had a natural connection with them. When they're in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. In recent years I have often taken care of my sister's dog Juniper. We have a special bond and she's taught me so much about being a dog aunt :) I helped train her as a puppy and watching her grow up has been a source of so much joy in my life. Many people have observed my warm way with animals especially cats and dogs. I am very attentive, affectionate and protective with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently finishing up my degree this Fall semester and have class once a week. I am flexible most of the week including weekends. I am available to dog or cat sit. If your dog or cat has special needs I am able to provide basic support and care. I am also available for dog walking services as well.

Gage is so great! My dog is truly hit or miss with humans and the moment Gage walked in the door, he was immediately excited and happy to have found a new friend. Gage is always on time, incredibly thoughtful and polite and a true dog whisperer. He’s taken such great care of my boy while going through postpartum recovery and I couldn’t have made it the past four months without him. I would never chose to go with anyone else but sadly, we are moving and I hope my dog will remember that I can be fun too! I highly recommend Gage to anyone, you won’t regret his immense kindness and respect for animals, five stars all around!

About: I provide a calm environment in-home and exciting fun-filled adventures outside. Marin is my backyard and I love taking pups on hikes and to the beach. I have a 6-year old dog full time and she is great with all dogs. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs, from those that love to play to older dogs that need more one on one time. I'm comfortable with on and off-leash walks and am very attentive to dogs with unique triggers that need to be managed. I will provide a loving, caring environment with your dog where they can feel right at home and be their best self. I'm currently working part-time so I'm available throughout the day and evenings. I'm available weekdays and weekends. I live near a massive trail system, dog parks and the beach, so can customize your dog's stay based on what they love most. I have a 6-year old friendly dog, Chilli, in home to keep your pup company. I take Chilli on 2 big adventure walks each day and adjust that schedule for other dogs as needed, including additional potty breaks and play time. Dogs can be crated or not, depending on how they're most comfortable. Chilli roams freely in the house throughout the day and I often keep our patio door open for her to lounge in the sun.

About: I have decades of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages breeds.

I'm a stay at home parent so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for house sitting, boarding and last minute care for your pet. I have a fenced yard where your pet has access to our home and outside. I am home most of the time to tend to their needs and can help with medication administration as well.

About: I grew up caring daily for my two shepherd/husky mixed dogs, who have unfortunately now passed away from old age. I raised them from puppies, so I have some experience with puppies and basic training. I also have experience dog-sitting for pit bull mixes as I’ve taken care of my aunt’s pittie mix on multiple occasions, including multiple overnights. I’m also comfortable caring for smaller dogs, and have experience with terrier mixes and pugs. I’m available all day every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs so I can be flexible to meet your needs! On Fridays and weekends, I’m available only in the evening. I’m happy to learn how to meet your pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for your puppy or a little patience with your scaredy cat.

About: I am a quick study and am passionate about working with all sorts of animals, dogs and cats are my favorite.  I work from home and can get my work done from anywhere. I had my first cat Patches ( my calico Queen) at 10 years of age . I know that each individual animal has its own temperament preferences, and schedule. I assume nothing, but will try everything. I have the most experience with dogs and cats . . Over 18 experiences on TrustedHouseSitters. Fresh water for will always be given twice a day. It’s me and my 15 year old sweet daughter . We are usually in bed by 9 pm . As a profesional furniture mover and airbnb host & guest I have been in many homes in several cities.I have owned homes myself, and I’m well-versed in finding immediate solution and soliciting outside help if anything goes wrong inside or outside the home . Even though my outside contact will be minimal, I will ensure your home  is properly sanitized upon your return. I work from home, and I am an Early Bird. Morning walks and sometimes jogs are already embedded into my morning routine along with changing water bowls and feeding my own cats at home. My pets at home are spoiled with cuddly mornings and clean litter boxes. Up until last summer I would also be up early and walking my Belgian Malinois for a good hour. Whether it’s feeding time, play time or walking time, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give to my Airbnb guests as a Superhost.

About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

About: I have done about 50+ petsits including 3 farm sits (MY FAVOURITE!) I love hiking, long walks and snuggling at home with the fur babies. I was outside of the US and have met clients outside of the app while traveling, that is why my reviews here are not recent. I can offer recent references from the past few months from my pet sitting clients. ❤️ I am still available to book here. I call the animals I take care of "my babies." I can run outside with the dogs 3 hours per day. I am a homebody and work online, so for me it's heaven to be inside the home with beautiful pets. That is actually my idea of a dreamy day. I would be a great sitter for an animal who wants lots of company or who isn't used to being alone. I can be out less than 2 hours per day if requested. I also respect the space and preferences of animals. I think about making them happy first, not them making me happy. I love long walks and making sure Dogs who need to run off leash, do so. I also love playing games like tug of war and fetch. I'm able to spend several hours per day to play with and excercise the Dogs. I research about each breed before I accept the sit and I now have experience with different breeds. I send photos and videos every day. You may have to tell me when you think it's too much. I filled up a lot of my memory on my phone and solid state drive with the pets I've taken care of, but I can't delete the photos. It's like deleting photos of your kids. Not possible. Excited to hear from you. I sure have enjoyed the love of pets and I hope to be able to continue enjoying caring for pets. Amazingly. I work better when there are pets around. I already prefer to be home. I'm the type of person that reminds myself to go out of the house and be among people. The one thing I am good at is taking walks every day, so that habit also works well when I'm taking care of Dogs who like walks. I could walk a Dog more than their used to even, if the owners thinks it will make them happy. I am used to preparing special foods for Dogs and Cats, being sure animals don't escape. I would say I go into Mommy mode once I'm with the animals. When there are more than two pets in the house, if I snuggle with one, I will then go to snuggle and give attention to the other one. If the other animal loves playing fetch, I may snuggle the animal, then play fetch after. I don't play loud music around the animals. Although I also don't like loud music when I'm alone .

He sometimes takes a bit to get to know someone but he immediately warmed up to Ella. You can tell she has the right demeanor and a calming presence working with animals. Would highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sausalito

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sausalito on Rover is $26.75 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 10,842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sausalito. 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 your Sausalito. 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 Sausalito.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Sausalito. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
