Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.

Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!

Tammy was great, she has a nice pet friendly home, with a dog appropriate backyard. Fenced, grass, shade, room to walk around and sniff. We interviewed three the day we met Tammy. I was sure from the first ten minutes she would be our choice. Her own dog was sweet and calm and adorable. She had a nice personality, answered all our questions and we just felt comfortable in her home. We will be using her again. You can't go wrong with leaving you dog with Tammy. Thanks for taking care of our child. I mean dog, Tessa.

Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!

She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!

Highly recommend Sylvie. My 6-month old Golden Retriever, Bauer, stayed with Sylvie for 5 nights. It was my first time leaving Bauer, so I was definitely nervous. I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

I was a bit anxious if my dog Shanti would be doing fine at a sitter's place as it was my first time away from her in almost 2 years. But it seems she really enjoyed staying with Kyle and her pup Frankie! Kyle took great care of her and sent lots of happy pics and videos every day (on Halloween day, she even put a cute costume on Shanti ?). She was also responsive before and during the stay. I highly recommend her.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ariana provided for our 17-year-old cat, Matteucci, over the two weeks we were away. Ariana was fantastic, demonstrating true reliability by meticulously following every one of our senior cat protocols and medical instructions. The most amazing thing, however, was her patience and gentle approach in getting our notoriously unsociable girl to come out of her shell and actually socialize! This is a massive step for our cat, and it speaks volumes about the wonderful environment she created. We returned to a happy, healthy, and relaxed feline. We wholeheartedly recommend her for her exceptional skill, especially with challenging or senior pets!

About: Lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, medication routines, and keeping your cat comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with shy cats, senior cats, multi-cat households, and cats who need extra patience to warm up. I pay close attention to behavior and appetite so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also know how important updates are when you’re away, so I’m happy to send photos and messages for peace of mind. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll care for them as if they were my own.

We were very fortunate to find Sophie. This was the first time we’ve left Pip with someone else for the day. Spending the day with Sophie and her sweet dog Holly in her lovely home was like a dream play date for Pip. We had no worries whatsoever. If the little guy could talk, I think he would be asking to go back to Sophie and Holly’s house.

It was clear right away that they are true animal lovers.

I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard.

Susana was wonderful with our pup! She is very quick to respond to any messages and sent pictures and videos of my boy. She has a great outdoor area for dogs to play in, and space in the house to explore. My pup came home happy and smiling after 2 days of day care with Susana. I highly recommend her for day care.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.

About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for dogs and making them feel happy and safe. I know how special our pets are and how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with patience, kindness, and love. I have over two years of experience caring for my own dog, which has taught me how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. My home is calm, loving, and a place where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I will make sure your dog receives lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel at home. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I also like to send photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel peaceful knowing they are being well cared for. Trabajo desde casa y vivo en un hogar tranquilo y lleno de cariño con un patio grande donde los peluditos pueden correr, jugar o simplemente relajarse al sol. Mi perro es muy dulce y amigable y le encanta tener otros perritos cerca. Trato a cada peludito como parte de la familia y me aseguro de que se sientan queridos, seguros y cómodos durante su estadía. I work from home, so I get to spend a lot of time with furry friends and give them plenty of attention, love, and playtime during the day. I enjoy having them around, going outside with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I try to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at home.

I believe every dog shows a special connection to us and they are very caring so we should as well show our care for them providing our help when they need it. I have interacted with all types of dogs and even though you can have a favorite breed,every dog is important and beautiful in their way. I am definitely a dog person and would like to get to know more dogs of any type of breed and create a good bond with them regardless of their age.

I was sure from the first ten minutes she would be our choice. Her own dog was sweet and calm and adorable. She had a nice personality, answered all our questions and we just felt comfortable in her home. We will be using her again. You can't go wrong with leaving you dog with Tammy.

Highly recommend Sylvie. My 6-month old Golden Retriever, Bauer, stayed with Sylvie for 5 nights. It was my first time leaving Bauer, so I was definitely nervous. I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

Tessa loved Mary and Mark. Their kindness and care were perfect for our old English cream retriever. Tessa loved their home, neighborhood walks, and constant love. She can't wait to return! Thank you so much Mary and Mark!

Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.

Our Bernedoodle Wilbur had a wonderful time staying the night with Marisa and her sweet family. Marisa was loving and kind with Wilbur, giving me updates on how he was doing and his eating. We will definitely ask Marisa again to care for Wilbur. We highly recommend!

About: I was raised in a home full of dogs and cats. We took in any and all strays. Even had a pet duck that lived to be 12 years old. I have bottle fed puppies that the mom dog was too spoiled to care for and my English Bulldog taught me so much about how to deal with a dog with medical challenges. I'm patient and kind. I'm currently working as an assistant TK teacher and I only work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. My apt is safe and I can take them on neighborhood walks or hikes. I'm fully capable of taking care of dogs or cats in my home or yours.

Fantastic sitter! My anxious dog absolutely loved Orrya! Orrya was an excellent communicator, was willing to meet us before for an introductory meeting, and sent plenty of picture updates of Louis (our dog).

Kim and Estee were amazing! They took care of our boy Lincoln like he was their own and gave him all the love, patience and off leash time. We’re very lucky to have found them and will definitely work with them again!

About: Hello! I have cared for animals of every kind since I was able to hold a leash, brush a cat, and collect chicken eggs. I'm a Mill Valley mom, educator, and current owner of two sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I have owned cats, dogs, chickens, rodents and birds. I keep bees as an active beekeeper. I am experienced with medically fragile animals and am comfortable giving all meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have fostered for years with Marin Humane and Milo as well as professionally pet sitting through Trusted House Sitters and Home Exchange in addition to Rover. My home is warm, safe, child and animal friendly. My yard is fenced and my children (ages 8 and 14) love share in the caring of animals. We all care deeply about animals and will give yours all the love they need. We would love to have your dogs join our pack for awhile! I am an educator and off for the summer. I have plenty of time to care for your pets along with my own. My kids and I stay local and have adventures and relaxing downtime all summer long. I have a large, fenced yard that includes hill side. My house is warm, cozy, pet and kid friendly. My dogs sleep on my bed and I'm fine if yours want to also. We love neighborhood walks and throwing balls in the backyard.

Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!

So happy we found Christine to take care of our Teddy! Professional, responsive and great with dogs who are a little tightly wound. What more could we want!?

Rosa and Kevin were great with Lily and we would highly recommend them. They were also very accommodating when we were delayed a bit for the pick-up. We would definitely book another stay with them!
