“Another great Willa Walk week! Exceptional care especially with providing extra care and love while Miss Willa heals from her hiking injury last week which resulted in an emergency room visit with suture procedure. Andrea truly is a Willa whisperer and just so talented, caring, and a natural intuit. Huzzah!”

I prefer to take care of your fur family in your home, where they are most comfortable. Since I recently retired and I can fully focus on providing optimal care for your loved ones. I treat your pet as I treat mine. They are a part of the family. I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter and dog walker committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted in my care. Whether it’s providing photo updates for pet parents, a neighborhood walk to get those zoomies out, or just being a calming presence for shy dogs and cats, I strive to make sure you and your pet are both happy with my service. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your fur family as my own. I am active and love the outdoors, making walking and hiking my daily routine.

About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my home.

“From the moment we met Peter, we immediately felt at ease. He has a calm, confident energy and quickly tuned in to our boys’ personalities and temperament. Peter asked thoughtful questions and paid attention to the details to make sure he could provide the best care possible. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for.

About: I am an avid dog lover and truly a lover of all animals. I have been a proud owner of many different dogs in my lifetime and I am dedicated to caring for dogs that are in need. Since my early youth I have always been the "go to" person to tend to family pets and those of neighbors and friends, along side my own. I have been fortunate to have learned from those experiences and I pride myself on sharing all that knowledge with every pet in need or not. One of my dogs "Woody" a 75 pound mixed breed that I could not imagine being without, actually attended University with me and everyone on campus adored him. Dogs need to feel safe and cared for and in return they offer the same comforts to people. I know what it means to truly care for animals and I believe they are as drawn to me as I am to them. I have worked for the Humane Society as well as several Veterinarians' offices throughout my many years of pet care. In my youth, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always imagined myself as a Vet. Although I never achieved that goal, the years I spent learning from others has not gone to waste. I am quick on my feet to respond to any issue(s) that needs my immediate attention and I personally believe that when caring and giving love and attention to pets I am not only providing a service but in return I am rewarded beyond any financial gain. I am extremely trust worthy and know that our furry friends are family too and deserve to be cared for, loved, have a safe place to call their home away from home whenever in need and above all will be treated by someone who appreciates their uniqueness. No expectation is to much for me to accommodate as needed. I will gladly go above and beyond to ensure that the pet(s) that I care for and their owners are MORE than satisfied. Guaranteed! I am currently not working away from my home and so my schedule can easily become your schedule as needed. Full boarding available for scheduling 7 days a week including holidays. FOR FIRST TIME ROVER USERS, USE PROMO CODE: WORLDP38657 FOR AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS. I have a spacious home for boarding which is away from the street level with an extensive backyard as well as open space with several nearby parks for walks and playtime. I live in a popular dog walking area that is also very safe. My home offers easy access for any bathing and or grooming needs, no matter how big or small your pet may be. I can also crate your pet(s) upon request. Visits, pickups and drop offs are also available, safe and secure. I am currently working part time from home which makes me available around the clock. I enjoy walking and driving which opens the door to new parks and walking experiences throughout the Marin County area and beyond. I enjoy the 3 big 'W's. Wind, Wheels, and Water. I find that most animals also enjoy at least 1 if not all 3 so finding something to do or somewhere to go is an easy reach. If your pet(s) prefer to spend their time at home, with little to no real change in routine, that is fine too. I have a fenced yard which is secure and safe for small dogs as well as large dogs. Behind my home is open space which provides the option of enjoying a walk or playtime without having to be around other people or dogs. I am currently working from my home so your schedule can easily become my schedule so that I may accomodate you and your pet(s) needs 24/7. I have a spacious home and open space as an extension to my backyard which allows your pet to not have to deal with other pets or people whenever needed.
