Pet Sitting Forest Knolls

About: I currently have 5 amazing big dogs that I’ve been taking care of since I was in middle school. I am patient, responsible, friendly, and caring. I am available for pet walking and drop ins Monday through Thursday at any time just before 4pm! I am also available every other weekend! I have 5 dogs myself who I care for everyday. I run or walk them multiple times a week and play with them at the house!

About: I have cared for many pets in my life (a dog, cat, tortoise, 4 birds, 2 fish, and 9 hamsters to be exact) so my love for animals is a huge part of who I am! I currently live with my Ragdoll cat, Myko, and he is my bestie. I have taught him tricks, we go for walks on his leash or in his stroller, and we start and end every day with playtime. Giving animals beautiful experiences in their life and filling their days with love is so important to me, and I would love to meet and care for your furry loved ones as well! I love to go for walks and spend time with animals, so wherever I can fit in some time with your pet I am willing! I am very attentive to your pet's specific needs such as a specific diet, certain toys they may love, a certain park they want to run around in, or certain tricks they need to practice for that yummy treat! Your pet's safety and happiness is always top priority!

“Ariela was brilliant, she looked after our 6 year old bulldog for 10 days. Our dog gets stressed out when boarded which leads to the dreaded bulldog skin issues every-time we go away. This was our first time booking drop in visits with Rover and it was great. Joey was looking better than ever when we returned all down to Ariela’s care. She followed his skin and eye routine and administered his medication daily. I always enjoyed getting update of him playing at the local dog park and getting lots of attention at home. I will be booking Ariela again”

“Last time we went away, we used a non-professional catsitter who , due to a family emergency, was only able to visit once in 4 days. This time, we loved getting photos of our cat weaving her way between Em's legs, nuzzling her face, etc. during twice-a-day visits. We were so glad to know that our kitty was fed and watered and that she had used her litterbox and it was not filthy (the rest of the house was quite dirty and messy, and we are very sorry about that and grateful that our catsitter fulfilled her obligation despite that). Thank you so much, Emily!”

About: I’ve worked with young dogs and understand the extra patience, structure, and energy they need. Got a high-energy pup who needs to run? I’m in. Got a mellow dog who just wants company on the couch? That works too. I adapt to what your individual dog needs rather than sticking to one mode because every dog is different. ChemE students don’t cut corners, I apply that same precision to pet care. Feeding times, medications, walk routes, behavioral notes. I pay attention to the details that matter and I communicate proactively if anything seems off. Unlike sitters juggling work or classes, I’m home for the summer with real time to give your dog. With a flexible summer schedule, I build my day around your dog walks, feeding, playtime, and checkins come first, every time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I am available anytime and willing to go above and beyond. I follow your pet’s exact routine feeding schedules, walks, medications, and habit whether I’m in your home or mine, consistency and comfort always come first.

About: Animals love me because I genuinely love them! I'm an animal whisperer of sorts. I have recent references from clients outside of this platform. They can't post reviews here. There have been dogs and cats in my life since I was a young child. People report positive changes in their animals when I care for them. I am playful and laugh a lot! I am reliable and responsible. I work very part time as a Professional Organizer and Personal Assistant so I have a good deal of time to spend at your home or in nature with your pets. I treat my home as a sanctuary and enjoy cleanliness and order. You can rest assured that your home is being cared for as you would. I work remotely so am around a lot. Feeding multiple times a day is not an issue. Cuddling is also possible when kitty would like. I like to receive detailed instructions and I follow the routine that is set up. If there's a dog park near, I like to take dogs in the morning.

About: Having 2 dogs of my own I am well versed in every aspect of making pets feel loved and cared for! I have cared for pets for nearly 8 years house sitting overnight, taking pups for lengthy walks and doing check ins/ feedings. I make it my mission to bond with your pet and make sure they are comfortable. I am available for pet sitting when I am home from college. My schedule is mostly flexible with majority of my availability being in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I make sure that pets have the chance to warm up to me and that I put their needs first. I am comfortable with judging when a dog wants to go for a longer walk or head home early. Similarly with cats, I am able to gauge if a cat needs extra play time or if they want to be alone to nap. I will always check in with you as the owner before I sit, to make sure I know exactly what your pet needs!

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our two cats received! From the very first visit, it was clear that Abby has a genuine love for animals. Abby kept us updated with photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. We have worked with Abby a few times this year and will absolutely be booking again! 🐾💛”

About: Animals have always been an immovable part of my life. I grew up on a small goat farm in northern california surrounded by llamas, ducks, geese, 3 beautiful cats, 6 dogs, and of course, goats. Through life on a farm, I have developed an immense love of all creatures, furred, feathered, and scaled. I have also had lots of experience caring for sick and injured animals. I have volunteered with both wild animals rescues, and the humane society. I'm currently in school, so my schedule allows me time in both the mornings and evenings to spend time with your wonderful pets. My weekends are also free. House sitting is my specialty as I do not have too many pet responsibilities at home, giving me more time at yours! I’ve grown up around big dogs, old dogs and cats, and special needs animals, so i’m used to an array of care requirements. I love to walk dogs and cats, as well as visit the dog park as many times as they ask. Safety is number one while you’re out of town, so I will follow your guidelines/routine like the script for my big-break broadway audition. Please feel more than free to message me with questions prior to booking. Photo updates are also included in my services :)

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Melina was great! Very flexible with my last minute drop in request. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Went above and beyond in a rain storm to make sure their paws were dry and the floors were not muddy. Checked in regularly and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were taken care of.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs simultaneously for years and feel comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I specialize in dog-walking and drop-in visits I’m currently available at all times of the day and spend most days in Marin County. I’m happy to drive up to 30 minutes. I have a fenced-in backyard at my home and many parks nearby that are great for walking dogs. I also have plenty of experience handling dogs off leash.

About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).

“Ariane did a great drop in with my two dogs for the first time and left them happy and relaxed while I was away. She was a prompt communicator too which I appreciated!”

About: I have owned 2 dogs in the past. Growing up, I was a dog lover, but I have recently discovered I may love cats even more! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. We are glad to say that all our pets get along and live peacefully with one another. I enjoy meeting new fur babies, big or small, chill or playful. I have had experience with a senior dog that has to take daily meds and I am comfortable with post-op care for dogs that have undergone a procedure. I love getting to learn pets’ personalities and participating in activities they enjoy :) I work full-time Mon–Fri until 4 PM and am available to care for pets after 5 PM on weekdays. Weekends are fully open, so I’m available then as well. I’m available for overnights when needed, as long as my daytime work schedule still allows me to provide the care your pet requires. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I like to make sure I meet your pet at their comfort level and engage with them gently. If your pet is playful and excited, I will match that energy as well with no issue. I will check gates and doors leading outside before any off-leash play. I have a fenced area where I live that I let my own babies run free in on days that are not too hot.

About: I worked for a dog kennel for 6 months in 2020 where I fed and exercised up to 15 dogs at a time. I also worked at a horse ranch at the same time, so plenty of experience with all types of animals. I am currently an undergraduate at UC Berkeley studying Molecular Environmental Biology & Film to eventually become a veterinarian. I also have had a cat since I was 10 years old. My schedule is honestly pretty flexible, as long as I’m given a days notice. I am currently on break from my veterinary assistant job for the summer. I am sure to be respectable of other’s belongings, as well as ensure to keep constant watch over the pets. I will make sure to be attentive to any special instructions and most importantly, play with your pets.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.
