About: I’ve always grown up with having a dog in the house, and was asked my family and friends to feed, walk, and play with their pets (mostly dogs and cats)! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have a bunch of free time on my hands to keep your pup company. Even if you need someone just to pop in for a few minutes or take a long walk I’m your gal. I’m always aware of my surroundings and make sure the pup can become comfortable with me when I meet them! I will also ask additional questions in case I need extra clarification
“Anjali is amazing. She is prompt, detailed, and very communicative. She let me know exactly what was going on with each kitty, and most importantly, they love her. One of my cats is slow to warm up to people, and he took to Anjali after just a couple of days. I'm so grateful!”
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.
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! So incredibly kind and professional. She was so accommodating of my schedule and did a fantastic job looking over my little guy. She’s a no brainer!!”
“Tatiana was awesome! She came twice a day and took great care of our cat Sonny. She was always on time and it was nice that he could keep his same eating schedule while we traveled. He seemed relaxed and happy around her, which was what I was hoping for. She also took great care of watering my flowers! And did some nice extra things like taking out the trash and vacuuming before she left. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Isabella and Michael were great at watching Fifi! They followed my instructions to a T and sent very cute picture updates! Would absolutely have them watch her again! Very communicative and friendly ☺️”
“Andy was great, I highly recommend him! My dog Teddy took an immediate liking to him and looked happy and content in the photos and videos he sent. Andy followed my instructions and left my home neat and tidy. Communication was excellent before and during the visit.”
“endlessly thankful for cecilia!!!! our kitty is quite the wallflower but she had him purring and showing off his cuddly personality in no time. she went above and beyond to help rocket feel comfortable and took care of him as if he were her own. couldn’t recommend more 💛”
About: Hello there! I am a loving pet caregiver and house nurturer living in Marin. I enjoy taking care of animals and people's homes as if they were my very own, with love, respect and better than you left it. I enjoy doing yoga, restorative yoga and adventuring in nature in my spare time. I just finished my 600 hour massage license and 6 month Reiki energy training! My hope is that these intuitive and intentional skills will help assist in a loving and nurturing approach to your pets care needs. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your special fur-family member and home. Warmly, Adrienne I currently work at Good Earth in the Wellness Department and have early mornings, lunch (1pm) and evenings (after 5:30pm) open for feeding, walks and checkins! I currently care for pets overnight in their homes and do not offer boarding service at this time. You can rest assure that I provide a respectful and loving approach to all homes I take care of. 🏡 💛
“Tiffany was awesome ? Definitely choose her for watching your fur buddies during your next vacay. We were able to completely relax while away knowing my little guy was taken care of. Excellent communication.”
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’ve had dogs my whole life and care for all sizes and personalities! I offer walking, sitting, playtime, and can safely give medications. Whether your dog needs active exercise, calm companionship, or special care, I’ll treat them like one of my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. I'm available for pet sitting and care Wednesday through Saturday mornings, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to do early visits, medication administration, and check-ins during those morning hours. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule — I’ll do my best to accommodate! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, playtime, and any special needs — including administering medications or subcutaneous fluids. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog or cat wants quiet companionship or active play, I’m there to give them gentle, reliable care while you’re away.
“Krystle was amazing - so responsive, responsible, and thoughtful of our dogs needs!! I will definitely be reaching out to her again, we are so appreciative of your help Kystle ❤️”
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 did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”
“Ethan and Mariia were amazing taking care of my dog with separation anxiety. They kept me updated with photos and activities of what them and my dog did that day. They were very responsive and asked a lot of questions for taking care of my dog. Will definitely book again!”
About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring a lifelong love for animals and hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with pets and have been a dedicated cat and dog owner for years. I currently own an eight year old Chihuahua and three cats of varying ages. I understand how much love, patience, and attention our pet family requires. I’ve cat-sat for friends and am comfortable with feeding routines, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love! I would love to take on jobs for dogs as well! I recently started volunteering at Marin Humane Society, where I learned about animal behavior, care, and enrichment from professionals. My long-term goal is to study Animal Science and pursue a career in animal care. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always happy to tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and quirks. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I take care of one dog and three cats every day, making sure they’re well fed, loved, and active. I feed them in the morning and evening, play with them using their favorite toys, and walk the dog daily. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize throughout my day. It brings me a lot of joy and keeps me in tune with what pets need to feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, or any special needs. I always treat the client’s home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I give pets lots of love, attention, and enrichment while also being mindful of their comfort levels especially if they’re shy or adjusting to someone new. My goal is to make their time without you as stress free and happy as possible.

Tatiana was awesome! She came twice a day and took great care of our cat Sonny. She was always on time and it was nice that he could keep his same eating schedule while we traveled.

And did some nice extra things like taking out the trash and vacuuming before she left. Would definitely recommend her!
I had such a great experience with Gracie! She took fantastic care of my kitten while I was on vacation, and her communication throughout made everything feel easy and stress free. The photo updates were adorable - clearly my kitten thought she was pretty great, too. I’d happily recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a warm, reliable sitter.
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
They are absolutely outstanding sitters! From very first message, their communication was warm and professional. During the stay, I received regular updates with adorable photos and detailed notes about how things were going. It was clear that Mariia and Ethan genuinely cared for Mia pup as if they were their own! Thank you for going above and beyond, you are the best!
Sarah did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was away! She followed all of the instructions I left perfectly and made sure to provide prompt, helpful updates that gave me peace of mind the entire time. On top of everything, she went above and beyond by bringing in packages that were delivered — such a kind and considerate gesture. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would definitely book with Sarah again!
Sian is a kind and wonderful soul. She took good care of our kitties and did a great job following special instructions for the house. We felt very confident and comfortable leaving her in charge while on retreat and the kitties will be having her back! So grateful and what a relief to have someone we can count on.
Katelyn took care of my cat, Nutella, better than I ever could! She didn’t just stop by to check on her, she made sure every little detail was perfect and showed such a deep, caring level of attention. Katelyn gave Nutella plenty of pets, played with her, brushed her, and even brought a laser toy to keep her entertained. She is truly amazing, and I can confidently say I’ve found my forever cat sitter. Nutella absolutely loves her, and I couldn’t recommend Katelyn enough.

As of July 2026, there are 5,073 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tamalpais Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
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 sitter.
