Doggy Day Care in Five Brooks

About: Consistency is key to dealing with animals. I never take a passive/beta stance. Leash training is a part of the service I provide. When walking, adventuring out is essential to broadening a dogs territory and decreasing the occurrence of aggression. The bond developed between pet and sitter is essential for success and understanding. I have been working with pets for a little over 14years. I do not have issues with socializing aggressive and/or rescue pets. I am very available to consult pet owners on a proper diet and exercise. Weight management is important for longevity of life. My primary concern is the well-being of your pets. I am currently walking 11am-4pm, M-F. I have room for small socialized dogs in my midday group. Open for sitting/overnights, and looking. Have excellent sitting reviews. I will feed and walk your dogs, as that is essential. I have experience in medication admin and basic first aid. I am available to take dogs via my vehicle, and explore the outdoors.

“Our dog is a special needs dog that is timid and frightful. Susannah provided dedicated, personalized care and oversight. We are lucky to have found this sitter.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

About: Hi! I have always loved animals. I have had dogs my entire life since we adopted my first dog, a black lab, from the humane society when I was 5. I have also volunteered at the humane society for many years on a regular basis. I am home full time right now and my priority is giving the animals I look after the best possible care and of course lots of love! I just want them to be happy and comfortable with me. Reach out with any questions you may have. This is my main job at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. Therefore, my number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while at home or out on an adventure. I have no pets myself right now so I have a lot of time and energy to care for your dogs and cats. I have cared for many of my own pets, and they lived happy, long lives. With me, you have a trustworthy, competent, and caring animal lover.

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.

“Amber was great! She took the trouble to come over for a "meet and greet" with Leo and Bailey the day before her job, which not only established a relationship in advance but gave us a chance to discuss the drill with them in unrushed fashion, ahead of time. Amber has a great chill way with dogs and is a reliable and cheerful person to work with. Would definitely use again.”

Rebecca Powell G.

“So happy we booked with Robyn! She was so kind and helpful. Really appreciated her great communication too. She took excellent care of our anxious dog, sent photos and updated us throughout the day. Would be very glad to book with her again!”

Ellery W.

“Our pup had a great time with Bianca. He enjoyed her large yard and walks during the day. Bianca was great and super communicative. Happy to have him stay anytime. Thanks!”

About: I was raised in a home full of dogs and cats. We took in any and all strays. Even had a pet duck that lived to be 12 years old. I have bottle fed puppies that the mom dog was too spoiled to care for and my English Bulldog taught me so much about how to deal with a dog with medical challenges. I'm patient and kind. I'm currently working as an assistant TK teacher and I only work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. My apt is safe and I can take them on neighborhood walks or hikes. I'm fully capable of taking care of dogs or cats in my home or yours.

About: Hi Pet parents! My name is Sophie and I’ve been a dog owner for all 19 years I’ve been alive - using all of that time to gain experience walking, taking care of, cleaning up after, training, and ensuring the safety of my pups. I’m comfortable with any size level and activity level- I’ve seen it all! I also have experience house sitting and taking care of friend’s/family’s pets while they are away. I’m looking to take care of some animals while I’m home from college for the summer because it’s what I do best! Thank you for entrusting me with the health and needs of your baby 🩷 I’m a college student who is home for the summer! I’m not working any jobs outside of this, so I can give your pup all of the love and attention and exercise they deserve! I have a fenced yard so there is no risk of running into the road and a large house/yard for the dogs to play around in. I have a 10 year old Boston terrier who is extremely friendly and she loves making new friends! If your dog doesn’t work well with others, I have enough space to separate them completely and comfortably.

About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for dogs and making them feel happy and safe. I know how special our pets are and how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with patience, kindness, and love. I have over two years of experience caring for my own dog, which has taught me how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. My home is calm, loving, and a place where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I will make sure your dog receives lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel at home. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I also like to send photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel peaceful knowing they are being well cared for. Trabajo desde casa y vivo en un hogar tranquilo y lleno de cariño con un patio grande donde los peluditos pueden correr, jugar o simplemente relajarse al sol. Mi perro es muy dulce y amigable y le encanta tener otros perritos cerca. Trato a cada peludito como parte de la familia y me aseguro de que se sientan queridos, seguros y cómodos durante su estadía. I work from home, so I get to spend a lot of time with furry friends and give them plenty of attention, love, and playtime during the day. I enjoy having them around, going outside with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I try to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at home.

“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”

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! 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!

“Kathryn was great! My senior pup needed a calm and quiet environment to relax in while I was gone for the day and Kathryn did a wonderful job taking care of Gordon.”

About: Hi! I’m Kiowa Bower, a retired university professor who loves animals! I specialize in long term boarding, long walks and hikes, and beach days with water dogs! I have 30+ years of experience caring for animals professionally, and a lifetime of animal care experience. Growing up in a non traditional setting, I had lots of early experience caring for the animals that lived within our community. I was fortunate to be able to care for dogs, cats, alpacas, rabbits, rats, bunnies, birds, reptiles, and even camels! While your pet is with me, you can rest assured that they’re happy, safe, and taken care of. I provide walks every morning as soon as we wake up, and every 2 hours throughout the day. I have no problem caring for furry friends with special requirements, such as medications, injections, slow walks, or even home cooked meals. I am especially good with cats, having had one as my best friend for almost 23 years. I am described by my friends as a quiet, soft, gentle giant, and pets seem to gravitate toward me because of it. I look forward to walking, visiting, boarding, or house siting your fuzzy, feathered, scarily, or slimy friends! I work from home. I am able to give walks and food on your pets schedule. I change water frequently, have lots of treats and toys, and provide a bed (though pets are allowed on the furniture in my house). My apartment complex has an enclosed dog park and is next to a big field, a beautiful bike path, and lots of walking space. I am an especially good match for anxious and elderly pets, due to my calm personality, animal intuition, and gentle care. I have an emergency vet that I love and trust. My home is hazard and danger free, as is my apartment complex. I am extremely aware of the signed of distress in cats, dogs, and small mammals, and I know how to respond promptly and correctly. Your pet is always safe with me!

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.

“Franklin had so much fun and came back home happy and tired from all the activities he did with Heidi and Lars family. They send a lot of pictures and a detail information about what they did with him and what Franklin did. We are happy with them!”
