“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 grew up with dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my adulthood including two mixed-breed rescues from Milo and a pure-bread yellow lab at 6 weeks. My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open and flexible aside from occasional travel. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs. My services include in-home visits (feedings, medications, playtime, companionship) and walks. I'm able to do a neighborhood walk or drive to a local trailhead for a hike.
About: Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’d love to help care for your furry friends. I have six years of experience with pet and house sitting. I used to volunteer at the humane society, so I am very familiar and comfortable with animals and their needs. I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities (deaf, blind, etc.). I’m local to Sausalito, and am happy to help you out if you’re located in Marin. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions! We both work remotely and have flexible schedules. My partner, Michael, is also on my account and he serves as my backup, in case I ever need it. :) Communication is key! Please let me know if there are any special circumstances related safety for your pet. Personally, I keep cameras around my home for ease of mind, so I understand if you do the same.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs simultaneously for years and feel comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I specialize in dog-walking and drop-in visits I’m currently available at all times of the day and spend most days in Marin County. I’m happy to drive up to 30 minutes. I have a fenced-in backyard at my home and many parks nearby that are great for walking dogs. I also have plenty of experience handling dogs off leash.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a young kid and addition of owning my own dog, I’ve taken care of other dogs. I like dogs of any type and have experience walking bigger dogs I’m frequently open and have many responses to take care of my own pets. I can usually always be open when needed, especially given prior notice I have a fully fenced backyard in which the dogs can run around. I am better suited to take care of your dog at your home or surrounding area
“Caroline has walked our dog Wilbur a few times and has been phenomenal! She sends lots of great photos and videos. We love seeing which route they take. She is very detail oriented and always goes the extra mile. We are so grateful for Caroline!”


About: I have always loved animals and enjoy taking care of pets like they are my own. I am responsible, patient, and comfortable feeding pets, walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family know they can rely on me to be trustworthy, attentive, and loving with their pets. I am currently a student, so I am usually available after school, on weekends, and during breaks. I can help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention when their owners are busy or away. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure each pet gets reliable care. I always make safety my top priority and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and a comfortable environment. I am responsible about keeping doors and gates secure, watching pets closely on walks, and making sure they feel calm, loved, and cared for while their owners are gone.
“Marielle was great with our dog, Buddy, and such a help to both meet with me and take Buddy out on short notice. Great communication, highly recommend, and hope to have her care for Buddy again!”

About: Hi! I'm Evelyn, I am living in Corte Madera before heading to graduate school. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with pets of all kinds. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m here to offer dependable services tailored to your pet’s needs. My energy runs high and I bring the same attention to detail I use in my research to caring for your pets and home. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and work with your schedule. Let’s make sure your pet feels loved and safe while you’re away! I am a recent MSU grad working at Bodhi Farms over the summer as well as researching at MSU. Most of my working hours are spent at Bodhi Farms which is a pet friendly property! When I am not there I continue my days outside, hiking, heading to the river, and enjoying Bozeman. As a college student, I have just one pet, a hamster named reggie who is a lovely palm sized companion. I often care for my neighbor's dog who loves to roam in our large backyard.
About: Hi, I’m Tania — a calm, loving home for your dog while you’re away. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have experience with all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy breeds to seniors who need gentle care. I work from home and create a warm, structured environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my priority, and I carefully follow feeding routines and any special instructions. I send daily updates and photos so you have peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your dog before booking to ensure a great fit. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including most weekends and holidays when needed. Safety and supervision are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment, follow each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi, I'm Isabel! I'm a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have my own pets at home, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've also cared for the pets of friends and family, so I'm comfortable handling a variety of personalities, breeds, and needs. And if your pup comes back a little muddy from our adventure, I'm also happy to give them a bath and send them home fresh and clean! I’m currently working part time, so I’ve got a pretty open schedule most days. Afternoons and evenings work best, although some days I’m completely free! I walk my dog every day and keep her on a regular routine. I’ll walk your dog in their neighborhood so that they’re comfortable and know the area well. I maintain boundaries with other dogs, keeping your pets safely paramount.
“We contacted Anjali one evening with a last-minute request right during dinner time. Bochy hadn't exercised all day and was acting out. She jumped at the chance to take Bochy to play and ended up taking him for a nice walk and fetch time. She was good about keeping him under control off leash, and he came back tired and happy. Thank you!!”


About: I've been the default pet person in my circle for years. When someone goes out of town, I'm the call they make. Over the years I've had turtles, lizards, fish, a hedgehog, dogs, and cats. I had a rescue dog from the Korean meat trade, which shaped how I approach animals that need a little more patience or time to warm up. I'm good at that. I set my own schedule and can work from anywhere. When I'm sitting for your pet, the day is built around them. No clock to beat, no hard out. If your dog needs an extra walk or your cat just wants company, that's what we do. I come to your place so your pet stays in their own space with their own routine. I follow your lead on feeding schedules, medications, boundaries, and anything else that matters to your animal. You'll get updates and photos throughout so you're never left guessing. I treat your home and your pet with the same care I'd want someone to bring to mine.
About: I’ve always loved animals, I’ve had two dogs! I’ve dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with young playful animals as well as older and quieter animals. I love playing and spending time with them! I work part-time, so have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks and I have flexibility so I can take them out to go to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I can stay overnights for as long as needed. I have a fenced yard and I’m happy to spend as much time as I can with your pets. I’m happy to play fetch with dogs and take them on long and short walks.
About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!
About: I love and grew up around dogs- my family had a husky, a mutt, and a yellow lab. Since college I’ve dogsat for a number of family friends, neighbors, Rover dogs, etc. I’ve house sat, cared for, and walked dogs of all ages and conditions, from puppies and house training, to dogs with anxiety, to dogs recovering from surgery, to old dogs who require lots of patience and love and often have additional medical conditions. I’ve also house sat for cats (typically when house sitting for a dog as well), so very comfortable with cat care too. Also not scared of big dogs- they are some of the best! My current job and travel schedule don’t allow for having a dog full time, so until then I’ve got you covered for weekend trips! I wfh Fridays and am fully available on the weekends listed as open on my calendar. I’ve been on the road for the past several years but my schedule is finally settling down, allowing for me to restart Rover. I currently live in an apartment that is dog friendly, but does require going up a set of stairs, so for older dogs with knee conditions or rapid outdoor needs it might not be the best.

“Aine is a delight! She was so warm and loving with our very senior girl Lizzie and established a comfortable rapport with her right away. She was professional and reliable, checking in with me and sending photos of their walks. She was also flexible and worked around her schedule when we asked her to add an extra visit. We are extremely happy to have found Aine and recommend her highly!”

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!

After a meet and greet I asked Mariia to walk Dakota for me when I had to work late and I knew Dakota was in good hands! She is reliable and very communicative! She sent me multiple photos and kept me updated. Dakota was shy at first as she usually is, but Mariia gained her trust quickly and Dakota had a great walk while I was at work :)

Ella was fantastic walking my 4 year old cattle dog. He is high energy and she brought him back happy with a wagging tail and panting. 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!

We contacted Anjali one evening with a last-minute request right during dinner time. Bochy hadn't exercised all day and was acting out. She jumped at the chance to take Bochy to play and ended up taking him for a nice walk and fetch time. She was good about keeping him under control off leash, and he came back tired and happy. Thank you!!

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 Tamalpais-Homestead Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 Tamalpais-Homestead Valley. 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.
