Dog Boarding in Kentfield, CA

“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”

Hunter H.

“Yina took excellent care of my pup and I appreciated that she kept in touch while I was away. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a calm and caring place for your pet.”

Felicia M.

“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”

Melanie P.

“Another great stay ! Veronica is awesome, she was able to accommodate a last minute booking after my other sitter canceled. Theo was a happy boy ☺️”

Laura D.

“My dog has never been happier or more comfortable and safe while boarding! She got along perfectly with their dog and family and came back relaxed (and worn out!) Regular photos and updates gave me peace of mind while traveling for the first time since I’ve had her.”

“11/10 recommend Sara. She goes above and beyond- tons of photos, fun beach adventures, and I could tell my dog was super happy while we were away. She’s flexible and a great communicator. So glad we found Sara!!”

Katja N.

“Ellen did a great job watching our standard poodle! She was great with communication around pick up and drop off as well as regular updates. Our poodle seemed content and well cared for when we picked him up.”

“Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”

Megan S.

“We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!”

“Elizabeth was so warm and thoughtful, I knew right away that my pup would be happy and well cared for.”

Bridget O.

“This was our second time booking with Madeleine and Alex, and once again they were absolutely wonderful with Bingo! Their whole family, including their two kids, made him feel right at home. We received regular updates and could tell Bingo was having a great time. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. They’re now our go-to sitters, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible care!”

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog's collar tracks the number of steps, and in this week she walked more steps than ever before. We've had previous sitters where our dog was depressed when we picked her up, but never with Jessica. Our dog was happy and healthy, and clearly had a great vacation with a lot of exercise and love. Thank you Jessica!”

About: Hi, I'm Diana! Your dog is family — and when they're with me, I treat them that way too. I'm a Mill Valley local and dog mom to a crew of my own (yes, all sizes — we don't discriminate). Our home is warm, active, and kid-friendly, with a yard to roam and some of Marin's best trails right at our doorstep. I'm also a certified yoga instructor, which is a fancy way of saying I bring a lot of patience and calm energy to everything I do — including caring for your pup. Whether your dog needs a leisurely neighborhood walk, a quick drop-in check, or a cozy place to sleep while you're away, I'm here and genuinely flexible. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog behind, so my goal is simple: keep you updated, keep them happy, and send you home to a tail-wagging reunion. Mill Valley is my backyard. Your dog is in good hands. 🐾 🐾 Dogs — What to Expect First meeting: I always recommend a quick meet-and-greet before any booking so your dog can sniff out the space, meet my crew, and let us know how they feel. No pressure, just vibes. Feeding & routine: Your dog's schedule is my schedule. I follow your feeding times, portions, and any dietary needs to the letter — consistency matters, especially in a new environment. Exercise & play: Daily walks are a given, and I know Marin's trails well. Depending on your dog's energy level, we'll do neighborhood strolls or hit the trails. Yard time is always on the table too. Bedtime: Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they're comfortable — couch, dog bed, or a cozy corner. I follow your lead on what they're used to. Updates: You'll get at least one photo update per day, usually more. I know you're going to wonder how they're doing — I just take the guessing out of it. 🐱 Cats — What to Expect First meeting: For boarding, I encourage a short drop-off visit first so your cat can get a feel for the space before committing. For shy cats especially, this makes a big difference. Feeding & routine: I follow your cat's exact feeding schedule, portions, and any medication routine without cutting corners. Cats notice everything — I try to keep things as familiar as possible. Settling in: Some cats warm up in an hour, some take a day or two. I give them full permission to hide, observe, and come around on their own terms. No forcing it. Play & enrichment: When they're ready, I engage — wand toys, lap time, whatever your cat is into. I take my cues from them. Updates: Daily photo updates, always. Even if it's just your cat staring at a wall — honestly those are my favorite ones to send. 🐾 Dogs — Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a lived-in, dog-friendly space — not a sterile setup, but a real family home where dogs are genuinely welcome. We have a secure yard, two dogs of our own who love meeting new friends, and kids who know how to respect animals and give them space when needed. For boarding, I keep a close eye on how dogs interact, especially during introductions, and I never leave them unsupervised until I'm confident everyone's comfortable. My two are social and easygoing, which makes the settling-in process a lot smoother for most visitors. I follow your emergency vet information and will always contact you before making any medical decisions. For walks, I stay on leash in unfamiliar areas and only let dogs off leash in designated spaces if you've explicitly okayed it. I know the neighborhood well and stick to safe, dog-friendly routes. Your dog won't just be watched — they'll be included. 🐱 Cats — Safety, Trust & Environment I have cats of my own, so I know how to create a calm, low-stress environment for a visiting kitty. We also have two dogs in the home — but cats who board with us have a completely separate, dog-free space where they can eat, sleep, and decompress without ever crossing paths with them. No shared zones, no surprise encounters. For boarding, I give new cats time to settle into their space before any gradual introductions are considered — and only if you're open to it. No forced interactions, ever. I keep windows and doors secure, know the hiding spots to check, and never leave food or anything potentially harmful within reach. Medications are given carefully and on schedule, documented so nothing gets missed. For drop-in visits, I treat your home exactly as you'd want it treated — tidy, secure, and undisturbed. I do a quick walkthrough each visit to make sure everything looks right before I leave. Your cat's comfort and safety isn't an afterthought. It's the whole point.

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.

“Charley had the BEST time at Camp Christopher! Receiving daily photos of a smiling, happy pup out for daily hikes/walks and playing with her new pal Lincoln, made my own vacation that much more enjoyable knowing Charley was in such great hands! Thanks again Christopher!”

“Tyrion was the happiest with Nahir and Mitchell. They were in touch constantly during Tyrion’s stay, and provided regular updates. Will definitely book with them again :)”

“Jaimi took amazing care of our dog, Maizie. She and her loved ones treated Maizie as a member of their family and the frequent photo updates were a delight. Knowing that Maizie was so well cared for made our travel worry-free. We highly recommend Jaimi and have already made arrangements to have Maizie stay with her again.”

“We got pictures of Saba on adventure hikes and playing with other dogs every other day - which we love to get when away. Saba is very social, so we were really happy that Jesse had daycare dogs or walking groups each day so she could play with dogs and get her energy out. She boarded at his house for 4 nights and came back exhausted, an owners dream. He has a backyard with play space which we actually went to see when we dropped her off. She did come back with a bit of a limp which we are assuming is from a lot of play time and didn’t eat her food like normal, which again could’ve been from missing us. We’re not looking into it, but make sure your dog is ready to play! Otherwise, his communication was great and was very quick to respond and adjust schedule if needed on our behalf. Will probably look into doing walks with him in future S well.”
