About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for pets through friends, family, referrals, and repeat clients. Along the way, I’ve raised my own dogs, cared for puppies and seniors, administered medications including pills and eye drops, managed special diets, and looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities. I believe every pet is unique and deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel safe and happy. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether they’re goofy, shy, energetic, or happiest curled up next to someone they trust, I genuinely enjoy earning that trust and making them feel at home. My career as an executive assistant has taught me that trust is earned through reliability, thoughtful communication, and attention to detail. Those are the same qualities I bring to every pet and every home I care for by carefully following your instructions, keeping you updated with photos and videos, and treating your home and your pet with genuine care and respect. I’ve also been told my updates feel like little pet photoshoots, and I love capturing each pet’s unique personality along the way. My hope is that every update brings a smile to your face and gives you complete confidence that your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My schedule currently allows for morning and evening visits during the week, as well as weekend availability for overnight house sitting and boarding. Rather than booking as many clients as possible, I prefer to keep my schedule manageable so I can provide every pet with the thoughtful, individualized care they deserve. I’ll always be transparent about my availability, so you can book with confidence knowing your pet will receive my full attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain their routine as closely as possible, and treat both your home and your pet with genuine care and respect. I currently live in a quiet, pet-free apartment, which provides a calm environment for weekend boarding. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can expect clear, proactive communication, regular photo and video updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re in caring, attentive hands.

About: I’ve grown up with a variety of different dog breeds. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for over 6 years and I am a big dog lover. I currently am off for summer break and only taking a remote online class so I have plenty of time to care for any person I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I live in a walkable neighborhood that I can take your pet on great walks outside and frequently!

About: Friends and clients call me the animal whisperer - cats and dogs alike warm up to me quickly, and even nervous pets tend to feel safe and calm in my presence. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from kitties and pups (including large breeds such as Dobermans and Great Pyrenees) to cockatiels and even flying squirrels. I volunteer weekly at the Humane Society, where I work with kitties who need extra skill and patience. I've also worked with an animal rescue organization to foster animals and help find them loving homes. I’m skilled at administering pill/liquid medications for cats, and I’m comfortable with senior pets who may need extra attention. I also have hands-on experience managing multiple animals in a household, including in larger homes with fenced yards. Living in Tiburon, I’m nearby and flexible, available for drop-in visits, walks and overnight stays. My approach blends warmth and professionalism: Your pets will be loved and cared for, and you can feel secure knowing their routines and your home are in reliable hands. I'm a wfh freelance communications professional and have lots of time and energy to give your fur babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, including volunteering weekly at the Humane Society. Since I work remotely from Tiburon and set my own hours, I'm available to give your beloved pup or kitty plenty of attention and companionship during the day. Most pets feel safest and happiest staying where they’re comfortable, so I provide overnight care, walks, and drop-in visits at clients’ homes. This way, they can keep their routine, their space, and their sense of security while still getting attentive, tailored and loving care.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my family currently has two Labs, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel happy. I also have several years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, caring for dogs and other animals while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and well exercised. Whether it’s an energetic walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time with them, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treating them with patience and tenderness. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins throughout the week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during visits. For walks, I pay attention to leash safety, surroundings, and each pet’s energy level and needs. During check-ins, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals or medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also try to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, unaltered, and following any specific care instructions closely.

About: Having been raised around dogs and cats my entire childhood, as well as raising my own pets since adulthood, I am more than excited to take care of yours! I am wide open during summertime, but work school hours during the school year. I have open availability on the weekends and after school for both overnights and walks. During the day, I would be able to take your pup out in the am, at lunch and afterschool. My friends joke that my dog is my fourth child and they are definitely correct. I believe in routines first, of course, but also letting a dog guide you as the day goes on.

Belvedere, CA, 94920

About: As a lifelong Belvedere resident and fellow dog parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with both your pet and your home. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs, and I've spent years working alongside trainers using positive reinforcement techniques. I provide reliable, personalized care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away! • Flexible availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting • Reliable weekday availability, particularly during daytime hours • Weekend and overnight stays are frequently available with advance notice • Happy to accommodate both short-term and extended bookings whenever scheduling allows • I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on so I can provide attentive, personalized care to every pet • Feel free to reach out with specific dates or needs—I'm always happy to discuss availability! Even if the dates aren't showing as available on this calendar :) As a fellow dog parent and lifelong Belvedere resident with deep roots in the community, I understand how much trust is involved in inviting someone into your home and caring for a beloved pet. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I strive to follow each family's routines, preferences, and pet care instructions as closely as possible so that your dog can remain happy and secure in their familiar environment. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routines, house rules, favorite activities, or bedtime rituals, I believe every pet deserves individualized care. I also take pride in being a respectful guest. I'll treat your home, belongings, and privacy with care and consideration, and I always aim to leave things exactly as I found them—or better. I'm naturally organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I understand that peace of mind comes from knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout my stay so you can relax knowing everything is being well tended while you're away!

About: Hi there! I’m a UX designer and lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. As your sitter, I’m committed to being communicative, reliable, and detail-oriented, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I share my home with a sweet 4 year old Toy Poodle/Shih Tzu mix named Binky, and three cat children who are very comfortable around dogs. I grew up with two dogs of my own and even started my own dog walking business at 12—with loyal clients through college. From high-energy pups to shy rescues, I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments and know how to adjust to each pet’s individual needs. I have experience with: • Administering medications • Special needs care • Kennel/crate training • Separation of pets if needed • Mimicking your dog’s routine My spacious apartment has plenty of room for your pup to roam, and I live in a dog-friendly building near great parks like Allyne Park, Lafayette Park, and Great Meadow Park. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get ample playtime and outdoor walks—tailored to their needs and energy levels. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority. Whether they love to cuddle or need their space, I’ll follow their normal routine for sleeping, eating, and relaxing. I currently have open availability as I recently left my job of three years and am preparing to start school again this fall—so your pet will have my full attention and care. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy, and loving home while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all throughout the week for boarding and I wake up early so anytime works. I will stick to your pets typical routine as desired. I am good at keeping to a schedule. If your pet is not friendly with cats and/or other dogs, I will separate them and stay with your pup. I typically walk my dog 4-5 times a day but can adjust for your pets needs. I have a dog stroller that can be used for any elderly pups. I am a good communicator and will provide fabulous pictures of your pets during their stay.

We absolutely loved having Rachel look after our cats. She went above and beyond for our boys, even buying litter and new toys for them, and was incredibly attentive to their needs the whole time. We got thoughtful updates, and it was clear they were very comfortable with her. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. We’d 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. 🐾💛

Ella is an exceptional dogsitter & person, and that was evident within mere hours of meeting her! Ella came over to get to know my dogs before a couple weekday walks and it was clear that she is a true dog lover at heart. I have one dog who is a total lover and another who’s a bit moody, but she was able to connect with both of them right away. She was attentive, kind, and I could tell she really cared about doing a great job and providing the best possible care for my pets. When I left town a few days later, I reached out to her in a panic when I needed someone local to come help out with an issue unrelated to dogsitting. She had yet to even complete our first booking, but since I knew she lived nearby I texted her in a last ditch effort. She responded instantly and literally saved the day by stepping in to help out when she absolutely did not need to. She was gracious and kind, and I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her! Since then, she’s created a close bond with both my pets and become a household name we speak of fondly. She goes above and beyond in everything she does and I feel so lucky to have found her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tiburon on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 10,767 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tiburon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tiburon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tiburon. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 pet, 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.

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.
