Dog Walking Black Point-Green Point

“In our first meeting and walk Susannah was communicative, reliable, friendly, and clearly a true dog lover! My (reactive) pittie took to her immediately and they had a great walk together. I appreciated how carefully she listened to my instructions and asked about my dog's potential triggers. I look forward to using her services in the future.”

“Emily is very sweet and she takes good care of my boy Lewi. Punctual, professional and very well priced compared to the competition. I’m happy I found her!”

“Edward has a really wonderful and calm energy, and was very sweet with our two dogs! We have larger dogs, and he was able to handle the both of them on walks. He provided picture updates and a little review of their day which helped put us at ease since we have rarely used rover before. He asked questions about our routine, and was able to answer all of ours! Would recommend!”

“Bing and Yifan are wonderful! They take such good care of my boy Gryffin. They are extremely trustworthy, thoughtful, and go out of their way to make sure Gryffin has a positive and fun experience during his walks. Bing and Yifan communicate with me how Gryffin did and ask questions about how to make their time with him enjoyable. Great dog walkers! I highly recommend Bing and Yifan.”

About: Hi there, I’m Chris! I’ve had some kind of pet in my life ever since I was little, from cats to dogs to aquatic acquaintances! I currently have two cats that bring me so much happiness. I’ve been my friend’s and family’s go to pet sitter for many years due to my obvious love of pets and animals. I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and of all ages, as well as mixed species pet families. I establish bonds with the animals I care for which can sometimes make it hard to say goodbye. I adore puppies due to their excitable nature and high energy! Cats have a special place in my heart because of the memories I share with the cats I’ve had but if you were to ask me if I was a cat or dog person; I’d say, “Why can’t you be both?” LGBTQIA+ friendly I graduated from college with a degree in anthropology and am now back in my hometown working a part-time contract job. My work schedule is very flexible so with enough time’s notice I can work any request into it. I am typically free to feed and walk pets in the morning and evening, as typical schedules go. Please let me know if there are any special requests or needs for your animal! I understand the importance of an animals happiness and mental state. I am very much used to taking care of pets in other’s houses and will follow the rules of the house perfectly. I have house sat in Kosher households before so I am familiar with the importance of following set rules. I am okay with pets that sleep on the bed with the owner or having to crate up a pet for the night. I am a private person and often keep to myself; I don’t cause a ruckus! I keep things nice and tidy just like the saying goes, “a place for everything and an everything in its place.”

About: I have grown up around dogs, and my family has had two dogs in my life, one we got as a puppy! I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I work at a summer camp most days of the week but weekends are flexible and my hours change weekly! Most days I either work in the mornings or later in the day! I love dogs. My dog I have is named Finley and I treat him as an actual child, he gets walks once or twice a day!

About: I’ve had pets since i could remember, it’s important to me that our animals live long happy and healthy lives! I’ve always been a family dog watcher and walker and would love to be part of yours! I’m currently available for any type of care! i’m taking a break from work and school so it’ll be around the clock care for personal care! I have a fenced yard with security cameras to make sure there’s no chance of any unnoticed care, even while outside! And of course I will always give extra love to your fur babies!

About: I started taking care of pets when I was 11. I love animals and have always lived with pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I love all animals and am looking forward to caring for your pet! I am a college student home for the summer and I am continuing summer study so having the flexibility to care for people’s pets whenever is something I have. I am willing to check on your pets as many times a day as you would like. I am a very pet loving person and excited to share my love with your pets.

“I am so happy to have met Kainoa. He came at the perfect time and took such good care of my dog, Tucker.”

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs and cats in-home for about 5 years part-time, but I was raised in a home that routinely took in stray and surrendered animals. I am a lifelong vegetarian and 10-year vegan with a deep love for all creatures. In addition to caring for animal companions, I like to leave homes better than I found them. Whenever possible, I do some light housekeeping so that when folks return from their trips, they come back to happy animals and a cozy home where they can just put their bags down and crawl into a bed! PLEASE NOTE: Any requests (by folks I’ve never worked with before) to book additional time off of the Rover app will be declined. This is a safety issue for both parties — I do not enter strangers’ homes without safeguards and advise against folks needing pet sitting services to allow strangers into their home without safeguards. Rover is a means to provide that safety measure prior to establishing a trusting relationship. My posted rates are firm. I ask that folks not haggle or try to negotiate an initial pet-sit off of the app for a cheaper rate.

About: I have been a animal lover for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog, Daisy, when I was 7 Years old and quickly found a passion for caring for animals. My family and friends have relied on me over the years to walk, feed, and love their pets. I even spent a few summers volunteering at the Humane Society in Marin County. During the pandemic I got my second dog. With the extra time on my hands, I focused on training Autumn. This training included socializing with other dogs and humans, introducing different environments and sounds, leash training and learning basic commands like siting and healing. My First dog is now 14 years old and requires a bit more senior care, this includes giving proper medications and more often bathroom breaks. I have a wide range experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I just moved back to Novato after graduating from UC Berkeley this past spring. My availability is flexible and would love the opportunity to care and play with your pups! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily create safe space for your dog and provide a crate if need be. I have surrounding trails near my home if your dog is high energy and needs more physical activities provided. My goal is to create a safe, positive and loving environment for your pup.

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I understand that every animal is unique. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat who loves a gentle routine, or an energetic dog in need of extra exercise, I provide personalized attention to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart? ✅ **Reliable & Attentive:** I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being and emotional needs. ✅ **Experienced in Special Care:** I’m familiar with administering medications, handling senior pets, and understanding different temperaments. ✅ **Flexible & Communicative:** I keep pet parents updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and reassurance that their furry family member is in great hands. ✅ **Passionate About Enrichment:** Whether it’s stimulating playtime, structured walks, or maintaining a comforting routine, I focus on keeping pets happy and engaged. I take pride in building trust—not just with pets, but with their humans too. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond, I’d love to connect! I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine. I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.

About: I am a caring pet owner who is very attuned to animals' needs and wants. After working at a dog boarding center I gained skills with dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm currently free to work seven days per week and flexible around which hours so I think I will be the best fit for your pets around the clock. I am available for dog walking, boarding, drop in visits, and doggie daycare. I have a friendly, playful 10 year old dog named Quincy who I walk and feed in the evening, and give a weekly bath to. We also have two cats who are mostly outside cats but they both come in during the night. We have a lagoon in the backyard and plenty of sidewalks to walk near by.

“Amazing! I could tell Taylor took very good care of my puppy and he was tired and happy when he got home. Best experience I’ve ever had.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.
