Dog Walking Corte Madera

“Getting set up with Lauren to walk my little dog Logan was extremely easy. Lauren was on time, friendly and Logan took to her right away. I could tell Logan had a wonderful time on the walk because when she got home, she was doing Zoomies all around the house.”

About: A little about me: I'm a lifelong critter lover - dogs, cats, rats - you name it, I love it. For 4+ years, I ran with dogs at an animal shelter in Chicago (PAWS, for those who are familiar), allowing me to work with dogs with all types of breeds and temperaments from nervous, anxious dogs, to high-energy assertive dogs. I'm a careful observer around any new animal (particularly dogs), making sure I understand their personality, comfort level, and needs. Most of my time is spent walking, hiking, or running with best friend and roommate of 2+ years, Fennec. I adopted him from a border collie rescue to be my running companion and since then, has humbled me (daily) with his endless enthusiasm and energy. He's the bestest boy. What to expect dog-sitting or walking: My approach will be to make your dog comfortable, happy, and fulfilled. In our initial meeting, I'll ask a ton of questions to understand your dogs likes, dislikes, schedule, and personality. Then, I'll make sure to fill in where I'm needed (couch cuddles, play time, sniffy walks, etc.) - giving your loved one (your dog), a great experience while giving you peace of mind. Afterwards, you can expect pictures and a quick summary, so you know exactly how the visit / walk went. If a walk isn't enough for your dog, consider this: I own a border collie, so I know how hard (i.e., impossible) it is tire out a high-energy dog. If your dog is like mine and needs WAY more than a walk (or three), let me take them on a run at their distance, at their pace. I'll just ask that you have the proper equipment for your pup and I've got the rest. If you’d like me to run with your pup, select dog walking services and note you’d like a run. Pet care fits right into my day to day right now. I'm currently taking a break from work, so I've got a lot of flexibility with my schedule and can work around whatever days and times suit you and your dog best. I tailor my approach to each dog and each owner. Before anything starts, I like to get a sense of your dog's routine, habits, and preferences, along with any specific instructions you have, and I'll work around all of that. Whether it's a walk, a run, or sitting in your home, my goal is to keep things as close to your dog's normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and cared for the whole time.

“Parke was great. Quick to respond, friendly and great with Bodie.”

“Had Gage everyday this week, as our puppy was neutered and couldn't do his regular off-leash hikes. Gage was on time every day, and our puppy Murphy was very excited to see him each day! I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”

“Rachel is very conscientious and you can see she really cares about the wellbeing of my dogs. She is comfortable handling my slightly reactive but otherwise docile pack. I would get her again.”

“Kathryn is great, she walks Max the way I asked her to and Max is always super happy to see her. He’s high energy so it’s a challenge. Much appreciated!”

“Marielle was great with our dog, Buddy, and such a help to both meet with me and take Buddy out on short notice. Great communication, highly recommend, and hope to have her care for Buddy again!”

About: I have decades of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages breeds. I'm a stay at home parent with older kids that would dote over your pet as much as they obsess over our resident Great Pyrenees. Your pet is part of our family as long as they're with us. I'm a stay at home parent so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for house sitting, boarding and last minute care for your pet. I have a fenced yard where your pet has access to our home and outside. I am home most of the time to tend to their needs and can help with medication administration as well.

“Krista did a great job! Poppy found a very big stick on one of their first walks and they played with it all week. I will definitely have her walk Poppy again.”

“Mari is AWESOME!!! Mari is the first dog walker I ever used. My dog is very needy and has his ways and routines. Mari adapted to his needs immediately. She is gentle. She loves to talk to my dog. (He understood everything she said.) She is conscious and in-tune with him. Mari put me at ease. (I’m a little overprotective of my pup.) I will use her again and again. I feel he’s safe with Mari and it gives me a feeling of relief. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m a teacher M-F and I’m hoping to earn extra $ to offset travel expenses from this past summer and to save for future travel. I love animals and think of this as a win/ win! The photos in my profile are of dogs I’ve cared for over the years (for friends, neighbors, family, and through Trusted Housesitters where I’ve stayed in people’s homes). I look forward to meeting you and your treasured pet. Free and flexible during the day and evening! During the summer months I don’t work. During the school year I’m free between 4pm - 10pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home once I’ve gotten to know them as a dog walker. I live near Hampton Park and it is a very dog friendly neighborhood.

“Krystle has been great with my dog, who hates walks without me. My dog is happy to see her come to the door and enjoy the walks. Krystle is always on time and responsive to the needs of me and my dog. I’m so happy I found her on Rover.”

About: I am a Biology student at UCSC, and I want to become a veterinarian in the future. I am participating in the Pupcycle Club, which is a foundation that recycles old clothes to make dog toys for dogs in animal shelters in Santa Cruz. I also participate in the UCSC Vet Club, which is student-run, where we learn more about the care of animals and the steps it takes to become vets. I'm bilingual, able to speak in Spanish and English. I am a student at UCSC; however, I'm in Marin over the summer for a long period of time, from early June through late September, where I'm mainly focusing on volunteer opportunities, learning opportunities, and being able to care for other animals. With a free and flexible schedule, I am able to care for pets for short or long periods of time, working at your schedule. I will make sure your home stays clean and safe while caring for and providing time to your pets. I will respect your home and the environment your pets live in. I will provide my whole attention and focus on taking care of your pets and giving them the attention they deserve.

“Chris was easy to communicate with, thoughtful in his questions. His even keeled temperament was a great fit for our 8 month old puppy. He shared photos and potty info which was also super helpful. Our pup came home happy (and ready for a nap!)”

About: My wife and I own our home and have large yard in sunny Corte Madera, about 15 miles north of San Francisco. I previously owned a veterinary hospital and pet boarding facility, so working with dogs is a life long passion of mine. Senior pets are welcome!!! I've had San Francisco (city) customers before, but mainly Marin County residents. Pups will have loving care around the clock. I’m retired and my wife works out of the house. Safe and secure environment with 24 hour monitoring. Secure fenced in yard with doggie door. Pups understand very quickly that we are there to take care of them and they feel safe and secure with us.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️

About: Hi, I’m Jackie! Animals have always been a big part of my life- from mini lop-eared rabbits to horses, and I now have a 8 year old Beagle, Finley and my 1 year old Beagle, Kenzie whom go just about everywhere with me. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets, administering medication, and working with deaf and blind dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I will provide patient, attentive care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I will also encourage good listening and good behavior with rewards while they are with me. For house sitting, I’m neat, and quiet, treating your home as if it were my own. Whether you need a trustworthy, reliable sitter or a dog walker, I’ll care for your house and pets as if they were my own. I am currently available full time. I am happy to come to your house and stay there if needed but would need to bring my beagle, Finley, with me. I treat my clients’ pets and homes with the same care and respect as I would my own. For pets, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also following any specific routines, dietary needs and medication schedules they may have. With extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those with special needs, I’m comfortable administering medication and providing extra patience and care for aging or anxious animals. For home care, I am neat, responsible, and quiet, treating each home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean and organized, water plants, bring in mail, and ensure everything remains secure. Whether clients are gone for a few hours or an extended period of time, they can feel confident that their pets and home are in reliable and trustworthy hands.

About: Going out of town and worried about finding a sitter that can handle the zoomies? Have a vizsla, pointer, or other roudy pup? I got you. I am energetic and actually want your chaos gremlin. Walks, runs, sits, and adventure for high-energy pups who need more than just a stroll. I’m Lauren :) I have 4 years of Rover experience under my belt and have a Vizsla at home with my family, who I helped raise. I’m a big trail runner and would love to go on a run with your dog! I can’t care for cats though because of cat allergies :’( I am a remote student, but my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. I can wrap my studying around walks, runs, or play time. Just let me know what your dog's typical schedule is! I love dogs so giving them kind care will not be a challenge. And I would be more than happy to respectfully housesit while looking out for them.
