House Sitting in Tamalpais Valley

“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!”

“Andy was great with our dog Maia. This is the third time Andy has watched Maia and she was super happy when we got home. We’ll definitely have Andy house sit again!”

“Emily is hands-down the BEST sitter!! She went above and beyond in every aspect, like playing enrichment games & dog TV for Bowie! Bowie can be challenging and requires someone with lots of dog knowledge, which Emily has in spades. Emily asked thorough questions in our meet and greet and kept in touch during her stay with frequent updates and photos. I felt so comfortable leaving Bowie in her care and he had an absolute blast too!”

“Adrienne was wonderful with our two dogs! Her calm energy was a great fit for our pups, who need a loving and quiet home. I could tell immediately upon our first meeting that she was a kind and compassionate person, which put us at ease. She sent us cute videos and updates, which were fun to get. Our house was immaculate when we returned home, too. Highly recommend Adrienne!”

“Jody is an exceptional dog sitter who provided outstanding care for our 7-year-old Border Collie during a 10-day house sitting stay. She was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates that kept us reassured and connected while away. Jody’s passion for animals was evident in her attentive care, keeping our dog happy, active, and at ease throughout her stay. She left our home spotless and well maintained, exceeding all expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter—Thank you Jody!”

“Samantha was the most caring, thoughtful sitter for my dog Bella. She sent pictures and kept me updated while I was out of town. And left my house exactly as I left it! I will absolutely use her again!”

“Mari was a wonderful dog sitter for our two dogs. She obviously loves animals and our dogs loved her. When we returned after a week our dogs were content and happy. I don’t think they missed us! I could see they had been well cared for and she left our house very clean. She sent photos and texts daily. She is kind and loving and we will be booking her whenever we go away!”

About: Hi, I’m Connor! What sets me apart is that I’ve been surrounded by expert-level dog care my entire life. My mom was a vet tech for over 10 years, and for the past 20, she’s been a professional dog walker, boarder, and trainer.

Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting.

I’m reliable, responsive, and fully dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for your space. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and reduce stress. During walks and visits, I make sure all doors and gates are securely closed and never leave your pet unattended outside. I keep open communication with you throughout my visits, providing updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

About: I grew up around animals. My senior bichon-poodle passed away in June 2024. Although I am not ready to commit to another pet I am committed to hanging out with your fur baby auntie style! I love staying active and I walk/run every morning and it would be more motivating with a furry friend who loves walks too. *I work as a medical assistant and have past experience with senior dogs so I am comfortable giving medications* I work full time but have time to walk/check on your fur baby Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's in the mornings. I am off Saturday through Monday ! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I’ll treat them with care and compassion. The park I live by is a great place for a good morning walk.

“I couldn’t have chosen a better person to take care of our pets needs, especially our senior dog! So much kindness and compassion was shown to our pets! Definitely would recommend! Thanks so much!!!”

“After a long series of bad experiences with Rover sitters, working with Heather was so refreshing. She's a total pro! Responsive, attentive, and you can tell she really cares about the animals. We have 3 rescue dogs that can be a bit of handful, but she managed it with grace. She also left our house very clean, which made our first day back much easier. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have a 9 year old goldendoodle at home with my parents. Before getting him when I was 13 years old, I had been begging my parents for 5 years. I would walk other peoples dogs, write essays, research on how to train and take care of dogs. Eventually my parents gave in but they made me do all the work (which I was so happy to do). I walked him, taught him how to swim, went on many hiking adventures, and even ended up training him to be a therapy dog. Now he is older, I love to snuggle him, take him on slow morning walks, and just sit by his side outside. I just moved to San Francisco and am missing my dog dearly so I would love to help you take care of your dog or pet. I currently am working full time so I am available any day after 5:30pm. I am also available all day on the weekends. I cannot house pets in my current apartment but I am willing to travel. I will take care of your pets by your directions. In my home we feed my dog twice a day, he's not allowed to go into certain parts of the home, has to sit and ask to go outside. For walks, I trained my dog to walk on leash with no pulling or off leash. I am comfortable with whatever and will follow your direction and rules for your dog. Consistency is key for pet behavior

“Hannah was great, she updated me throughout the day and catered to all the requests I had for lilys care. :)”

About: I've dog walked for all sorts of people! Taking care of my two dogs at home, a 12-year-old golden doodle, and a 4-year-old mutt, is one of the things I'm best at! They'd be happy to provide a letter of recommendation too! I just graduated from college, and I will be home for the summer. I am very available and I would love to take care of your dogs :) I can follow whatever instructions are provided and respect any privacy concerns. I like wearing sandals which can make it easy to take off shoes coming into the house but I've got some heavy-duty boots too for more strenuous dog walking adventures.

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! I work a hybrid job, so I am in office a few days a week, but my schedule is flexible. I’m most free in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, but can work in some afternoons as well! My husband, Michael, is also on my account as 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 live in Mill Valley and have two dogs of my own— both are pity type mixes that were rescued. I know what it means to take good care of beloved pets. I have many years of experience, both dog sitting and housesitting. I love taking dogs for walks and hikes and spend quite a bit of time with my own dogs up on Mount Tam. I’m currently not working so I have lots of available time for dog walks, sitting and house sitting. I do not do group dog walking so your dog will get the best one on one attention. I’m happy to support special needs as well. I prefer to take care of dogs in their own home as I find this is most comfortable for them. I like to deeply understand the owners preferences and needs so that I can make sure the dogs are happy.

“Alicia is absolutely wonderful!! She stayed with our Norwich Terrier, Bixby, for an overnight and we couldn’t have been happier to have her. She is prompt, polite, and amazing with Bixby. He adores her! She took him on 2 extra walks and was so sweet with him. Will be booking again!”

About: Fur babies are no different than human babies, and I think they deserve even more care and attention when they are with a sitter since they miss their owners and already experience some level of separation anxiety. Good news is with me your dog will be so busy playing with another puppy during the day, and exploring parks, beach, hikes, or walking around time after my normal work hours. If they get too dirty while playing grooming Is available in house , and training can be offered for dogs that are too disobedient per your request. Tail wagging guaranteed! I work remote Friday & Monday allowing me flexibility to take care of other dogs. I have a very friendly chow, and am looking for new play buddies for him on the weekends. I no longer accept Pets into my own home, but open to sitting at pet parents house. Letting the dog be on or off leash is based on owner discretion.
