“Nadya was so kind and took great care of our puppy, sending photos and videos throughout his stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we’re in town and need someone to take care of Appa for the day! Thank you, Nadya!”

“Lori and Frank were incredibly warm to me and my dog! They welcomed him with open arms and gave him so much love - I was able to happily be without him knowing he was in great hands with Lori and Frank. They loved his idiosyncrasies and did everything they could to make my dog comfy - he can’t wait to go back and I will definitely use Lori and Frank regularly!”

About: ****Please note new changes *** I recently adopted and rescued a sweet 1 yr old Havanese mix dog. He's very friendly and very chill with animals including cats. For dog sits, I would request that he come with me (although he might not and he might stay home with his mom). I have an extensive history with animals. Lastly, a new update, I will not accept dogs who are aggressive with other dogs moving forward. I have owned three dogs, two cats, and two ferrets in the past. I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a young boy. I currently adopted a new dog and he is a sweet angel and very well-behaved. You will get constant updates on how your dog is doing on a daily basis. I will take them on fun adventures to hiking trails, beaches, or parks. I am a firm believer that dogs are really man's best friends and will treat your furry friend as if he/she was my own, with lots of love. Look forward to meeting with you and your dog. Yes, I currently walk my dog at least 3 times a day, including a hike where we can meet other dogs. I do this full-time as we have officially entered a recession in the tech world. If I am in the home/boarding, I will ensure your dog is fed and adheres to their normal routines. Nothing changes when I care for them, except we might be hiking a lot depending on their age and if they can handle that; if not, we chill locally and take small local walks or let them outside for relief.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for 30 years. I have special training with service animals and retired (senior) service animals. I am a full-time dog care provider, so your pup will have my undivided attention! I will adhere to any feeding, walking, etc. schedule you prefer. My backyard is every dog’s happy place! Lots of grass, toys, water, and a fully secure, fenced yard with plenty of shaded areas to stay cool from the heat.

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.

“Tracy was wonderful and took great care of my dog! She also sent some really cute pics during hia time with her. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone!”

About: I have been an avid pet lover since I was just a kid! I have owned and cared for cats and dogs for the last 25+ years, among many other animals. As a teenager I would often pet sit for families in my neighborhood and helped out older neighbors with dog walks and other basic pet care. I really enjoy working with dogs (AND CATS!) on basic obedience training, house manners, crate training, leash manners, and much more. I am currently home full time which means that I will be able to focus on your pet's needs. My small dogs and I take regular walks in our neighborhood and have a well established schedule for meal times with lots of time to play with toys and cuddles. We very much enjoy heading to pet-friendly stores for a little bit of adventure, but we also enjoy the occasional day long outing to the beach or for a good, long hike. Our home is a smaller two-level three bedroom home with fenced front and backyards. I do have two small dogs, both under 15 pounds, and a few cats. Both dogs get along well with other dogs and most of the cats just stay upstairs or use their cat trees to avoid the dogs, though a couple of the cats do enjoy a game of rough house with the dogs. I have crates available for dogs that are crate trained, tons of toys for engaging play, some puzzle boards and snuffle mats for enrichment. If I am caring for your pet in your own home I will adhere to any rules or structure you have in place or that we discuss beforehand. If you'd like me to bring along any toys, treats, training materials, or other items for walks or pet-sitting I am happy to help with that. I drive an SUV with room for travel crates and/or doggy car seats, perfect for those weekend walks at all of the regional parks near by.

About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.

“Amber was great with our two Portuguese Water dogs! Played ball, snuggled and made sure they went for a nice walk. Highly recommend Amber l!”

“Thanks marissa, I was able to work all day and not worry about my pup being taken care of, especially on a holiday. She was quick to respond and I appreciated her positive attitude. I definitely would use her again.”

“Jesse is super friendly. He was great at checking in and did so several times with pictures. He followed our instructions perfectly and our dog looked very happy. I would trust him to watch my dog again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! :)”

About: We only take 1 dog to be cared for at a time with our small family & havapoo Ollie. I work from home during the week so there is lots of time for cuddles and walking. My teen is eager to help! I work from home full-time, so provide cuddles, attention and lots of walks. In the evenings our family of 3 + havapoo Ollie will care for your fur baby just like ours We can follow whatever protocols you would like for your pup. We have a fenced in deck and provide plenty of walking and exercise at the open field down the hill if your pup is up for it.

“Jason was calm, comfortable, and confident around our dog. He immediately became pals with Woody, and gave him plenty of play time, exercise, and safe socializing. Woody returned from his outing happy and relaxed. I would recommend Jason.”

“Chris, thank you so much. We have so much peace of mind knowing that you loved Bodhi as much as we do. It was wonderful to get feedback from you and see pictures of your hike. We look forward to working with you again.”

About: I have over 5 years of pet care experience. I have taken care of friend's dogs and have experience with dogs with separation anxiety. I love dogs, walks, and especially walking with one! I would love to get a dog of my own, but don't want the long-term commitment at the moment. Because I don't have a dog, I will have extra time to take care of yours =) I currently work from home most days of the week. I also have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your schedule as needed. I'm flexible! I have a fenced yard at my house. I always keep doors closed when I am home and will be sure to follow the instructions given.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, and always loved animals. I just lost my dog Jessie, and love to spend more time with other dogs. I’m home a lot and love to take care of other dogs. Weekends I’m home, and have time to take dogs to the park for play or a long hike. I’m home also after 4:30 pm most days. I’m a school teacher and have summers off. I’ll be home full time from June 14 through August 12. I live in Marin in a condo which has a balcony, close to great trails, and in a wonderful and quiet Neighborhood. Love to spend time in nature.

“Otis had a great time with Maddie today! She took him with limited notice and he was in a great mood when I picked him up. Her backyard is also enclosed and partially shaded, so great for dogs in this hot weather. Will definitely book again!”
