“Second experience with Ellen was as good as the first. Our Betsy goes to her eagerly and comes home happy and tired. In between, fun! As demonstrated by pictures and video. Thanks Ellen!”
“If I could give Matt a 10 star.... I definitely would!!! He was so great with my lil pooch!! If you need a dog sitter.. and you want a hassle free, great sitter.. pick Matt!!!! We will be back. Roxie says woof!!”
“Megan was fantastic! She took such great care of our poodle, Messi, and kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Messi also loved spending time with Megan’s daughter and quickly became friends with her sweet pups. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. Thank you, Megan! We’ll definitely be booking with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.”
“Raffie had a wonderful stay with Adriana and her family. This was her second time there and I can’t imagine anyone taking better care of her while we are away. Adriana was very accommodating and communication was excellent. We received daily pictures and updates and saw how much fun Raffie was having. Thanks again!!”
“Alex did a great job with(13 years old) Benny, it was his first time and Alex was great with communications and pictures which really gave me a lot of peace. She had a great place for Benny to stay and venture about sniffing as he so loves to do. Benny enjoyed the company of Chowder, who is so adorable. Chowder is Alex's own cavalier. Alex was everything I'd hoped she'd be, welcoming, enjoys dogs and all their quirks and open to any needs Benny might have.Thanks you Alex!! Breda.”
“Kinley was well cared for with Monica and Boady. Lots of hikes, sunshine and cuddles. Just like at home. Thanks to the pictures and updates I never worried and always knew my pup was happy.”
“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. 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!”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Derek and Stella were communicative and super easy to coordinate with. They took great care of my pup and I’d happily book with them again in the future!”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Winnie had a wonderful time with Melissa! It was only Winnie's second time staying overnight away from home, and Melissa's care, proactive communication, and photos put me at ease while traveling. Winnie came home happy and well-cared for, and I am so appreciative!”
“It was great to know our dog Roxy was well taken care of while we were out of town. She was happy to see us when we picked her up but was calm and not at all stressed, so I knew her time away was positive.”
“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“5/5 is not enough! Thank you Jenna for taking the best care of our dog Lucky. You made him feel at home immediately and provided updates with photos frequently. I’d recommend Jenna to anyone.”
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
“Moddy had the best time with Lei. I had wonderful photo updates and it was clear that Lei cared about Moddy’s welfare, diet and fun! Winston, Lei’s dog is gorgeous and her son and family contributed to Moddy’s excellent stay. This was one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had. I cannot recommend Lei highly enough.”

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: I have had pets my entire life since I was a child and I absolutely adore them! I consider myself a highly sensitive person and that helps me stay attuned both to humans and pets! I have a flexible work from home job and because of that pet sitting fits smoothly with my daily and weekly routine. I can adjust as needed! I feed them on time, play with them during play hours and make sure that they feel safe and take care of. I would make sure to read the pet body language and make sure to give them enough space when they’re shy or not ready to interact!
About: In a past life, I swear I was a cat. My family's cat has brought love into our house and extended it beyond watching neighbors' and friends' cats. I am their favorite meal and treat giver, cuddle buddy and companion.
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. 🏡 💛
“Renée is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our cat Enzo multiple times. Renée is very dependable and posts the best photos :) We know Enzo is in good hands with her and would highly recommend her!”
About: Cats deserve the chance to come to you before you approach them. Cats need their space. I know how to administer medication to cats and am very familiar with their needs having cared for them for numerous years! I love playing with them and discovering what they love. I've cared for my cats as well as my friends' cats with great love and conscientious attention!
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! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. 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!
“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 ☺️”
About: I grew up with 4 poodle mixes (maltipoo, cockapoo & other mixes) and was very involved in training them and cared for them as old as 15. I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages including puppies, senior dogs, and special dietary needs. My dogs are with my parents who moved overseas, so I miss having furry companions around. (If you’re wondering about the gap in reviews, I was traveling for several months but I’ve returned to Marin eager to resume dog sitting!) I work from home and have a job with great balance and flexibility that allows me to take walks and dedicate attention and TLC to your sweet doggo. My girlfriend Amanda lives with me, also works from home and loves dogs so there is plenty of love to go around! I live in a one bedroom condo with plenty of space and a fenced balcony. Your dog will stay with me primarily inside and we will play, go out for walks, and visit the local dog park if desired.

“It was great to see my dog eagerly jump out of car and run to greet Adriana! Their fenced yard was perfect, and they are very caring day care providers. I highly recommend Adriana and Derek.”
“Ellen was amazing! I needed a last minute sitter for my dog Skipper while in town for work and Ellen was super accommodating. Skipper is an anxious boy and I was a little nervous to see how he would react. Turns out there was nothing to worry about! Skipper took to Ellen very quickly and once I was out of sight, he was perfectly happy to hang out with his new friend! I also received photo and text updates during his stay which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter!”

Winston comes home totally happy and is clearly getting lots of love while they hang! Matt is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Emily was so accommodating! I had a last minute cancellation in my daily walker and I reached out to her the evening before to see if she could watch my baby and she worked with my schedule! I will absolutely be contacting her every time I need day care or boarding in the future. Thanks so much Emily!”

About: I specialize in small dogs (up to 30#) and provide a cozy, calm home environment, where they get plenty of individual attention, playtime and affection.. I also have experience caring for Senior dogs, and understand the extra patience and gentle care that they sometimes need. I’m comfortable administering medication and following special routines to make sure older pups stay comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog like it’s my own, so you can feel confident that your little one is in loving attentive hands. Your dog will be our only guest unless you have two dogs in your family and that’s the only way we’ll have multiple dogs. Your pet will never be left alone! I’m a retired nurse so my schedule is open and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine allowing me to give dogs in my care plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime and cuddle time. I can easily accommodate medication schedules, and each dog’s routine. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for dogs. I provide a secure, pet-friendly home where small dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos while they’re away. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving space where dogs feel cared for and right home. I know how expensive pet care can be so, as a courtesy, I keep my Rover prices as low as I can. Hope it helps.

I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).
“What a wonderful experience for our dogs Laffy and Layla. They were welcomed so warmly by Miriam and felt right at home. Miriam is so friendly, competent, knows what she is doing - even with a quite shy and a very anxious dog. Her dog is so super sweet and got our big boy to quickly fall for her. All was relaxed.”

“Jake and Sam took such kind and loving care of Ruckus on very short notice. This dad and daughter team made pick-up and drop-off easy, and our pup was so happy (and sleepy) from all the fun at the end of the day. Thank you both!”

“We have only left Koba with family or one other sitter so when she told me she would be out of town I was worried about finding another sitter but we got lucky with Mike! We liked that he seemed to understand bully breeds and instantly felt at ease after the meet and greet. Mike kept us updated throughout the day with lots of videos and photos of all their little adventures around scenic SF areas. Koba definitely looked like he was having a blast. He was a little anxious/restless the first night but Mike was super understanding. He was so spoiled with love and attention and I’m so grateful we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup. Thank you so much Mike for taking such good care of Koba! Until next time!”
“1000000/10 I’ve never felt more confident and comfortable leaving my guy with someone! He had a few accidents and they were completely professional in the way they handled it. Could not recommend more”
About: Loving dog parent to a 3-year-old Rough Collie, experienced in daily walks, feeding, grooming, routines, and patient care, providing calm, reliable, home-style attention every weekend. “I work full-time during weekdays, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I prioritize pet care commitments and only accept bookings I can fully support.” “Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’m a dog parent myself and understand daily routines, supervision, and consistency. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and ensure calm, attentive care. In my home, dogs are welcomed into a clean, dog-friendly space alongside my well-socialized Rough Collie. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow routines exactly, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.”
“Go is the best sitter ever! He took such amazing care of our frenchie, sent lots of great pictures, and paid such specialized attention to our little guy’s needs. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Katie was wonderful with Fillmore! Communication was great, and she took him on lots of walks and sent pics and updates. He got an upset stomach and she took great care of him. We felt very comfortable having Fillmore with Katie while we were out of town.”
“Sonia was great with keeping us updated everyday and she was so flexible with drop off and pickup. You can tell she loves her jobs and the dogs so much and that means so much to us! We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“I am so happy we found Rosalie and Frank. They took incredibly good care of my dog 🐾🐕 Pickle. She requires daily medication and some extra love, but I could tell from all the pictures that 🐾🐕 Pickle was super happy and comfortable while I was away. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“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!”
“I had a wonderful experience boasting my little French Bulldog with Alina and her family. She sent photos of them exploring the neighborhood on walks which I know my dog loves to do. Alina is great at communicating regularly and is so kind. I could tell that my dog was happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Winnie had the best time when staying with Sylvie and her family! We got multiple pictures throughout her stay of all the fun hikes she went on and doggie friends she met. Sylvie was great with giving her meds and we didn’t have a thing to worry about. I know Winnie can’t wait to come back for a stay”
