Dog Walking Lagunitas-Forest Knolls

“Ari was nice and easy to deal with. Upon first meeting Frida, he picked right up on her energy and kept her calm. He worked great with our dog, and was clearly an experienced dog walker and animal lover. Thanks Ari!”

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 :)

“Sara was available at the very last minute during the holidays when my mother was unable to walk our dog. She was extremely reliable and showed up every day for 10 days, with excellent communication. Our dog was happy!”

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

“Zack is my best friend's new best friend! My dog Badger has had issues with other dogs his size and bigger. In a few weeks, Zack has worked with him enough to allow me to walk Badger comfortably on my own. He is super happy when I get home from work and he is getting the exercise he needs! Zack gives extra attention and is a warm and kind person. He sends great pictures of my dog that make me smile when I'm at work. I highly recommend Zack for any care that your dog needs. I'll be rebooking immediately so I don't lose my spot! Thanks Zack! Love, Marci and Badger”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have a 19-year-old Sulcata tortoise and a dwarf hamster, and I previously had two cats of my own. I’ve also done dog walking and pet sitting for two large Golden doodles, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I am responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will help with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also keep your home and any areas I use clean, so everything is in order when you get home. I’ll send photo updates throughout my visits so you know how your pet is doing! I work as an on-call nurse, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work pet sitting and dog walking into my week and am happy to coordinate with you to find a time that works! When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll walk and play with dogs, and keep cats fed with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and will give them lots of company. I’ll keep your home clean and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

“Provided such great communication and sent so many photos during their hangout. Highly recommend her to anyone to leave their furbaby with in the Sausalito area!”

About: I am a very responsible dog owner who would love to take care of your pet! My dog (Milo) is a 8 year old Goldendoodle and loves playing with other dogs. I take my dog on daily walks and enjoy playing fetch with him. I work in Tiburon Tuesday through Thursday but have a flexible lunch that I can use for drop in visits. I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas

“Ryan was super patient with my dog as it can take a while for her to warm up to other people. Great communication and definitely a dog person. I highly recommend booking with him!”

About: I grew up in a family where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from an early age. As I got older, I continued having my own pets, which gave me real, hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for daily routines like feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe at home. I’m also used to reading animal behavior, understanding their needs, and adjusting my approach depending on their personality — whether they’re energetic, shy, or more independent. I genuinely love animals and take this responsibility seriously. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, care, and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure to give pets enough attention, playtime, and care during the day, and I’m consistent with feeding and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I can also crate your pet if needed and ensure they get plenty of attention and care.

About: I am an avid dog lover and truly a lover of all animals. I have been a proud owner of many different dogs in my lifetime and I am dedicated to caring for dogs that are in need. Since my early youth I have always been the "go to" person to tend to family pets and those of neighbors and friends, along side my own. I have been fortunate to have learned from those experiences and I pride myself on sharing all that knowledge with every pet in need or not. One of my dogs "Woody" a 75 pound mixed breed that I could not imagine being without, actually attended University with me and everyone on campus adored him. Dogs need to feel safe and cared for and in return they offer the same comforts to people. I know what it means to truly care for animals and I believe they are as drawn to me as I am to them. I have worked for the Humane Society as well as several Veterinarians' offices throughout my many years of pet care. In my youth, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always imagined myself as a Vet. Although I never achieved that goal, the years I spent learning from others has not gone to waste. I am quick on my feet to respond to any issue(s) that needs my immediate attention and I personally believe that when caring and giving love and attention to pets I am not only providing a service but in return I am rewarded beyond any financial gain. I am extremely trust worthy and know that our furry friends are family too and deserve to be cared for, loved, have a safe place to call their home away from home whenever in need and above all will be treated by someone who appreciates their uniqueness. No expectation is to much for me to accommodate as needed. I will gladly go above and beyond to ensure that the pet(s) that I care for and their owners are MORE than satisfied. Guaranteed! I am currently not working away from my home and so my schedule can easily become your schedule as needed. Full boarding available for scheduling 7 days a week including holidays. FOR FIRST TIME ROVER USERS, USE PROMO CODE: WORLDP38657 FOR AN ADDITIONAL SAVINGS. I have a spacious home for boarding which is away from the street level with an extensive backyard as well as open space with several nearby parks for walks and playtime. I live in a popular dog walking area that is also very safe. My home offers easy access for any bathing and or grooming needs, no matter how big or small your pet may be. I can also crate your pet(s) upon request. Visits, pickups and drop offs are also available, safe and secure. I am currently working part time from home which makes me available around the clock. I enjoy walking and driving which opens the door to new parks and walking experiences throughout the Marin County area and beyond. I enjoy the 3 big 'W's. Wind, Wheels, and Water. I find that most animals also enjoy at least 1 if not all 3 so finding something to do or somewhere to go is an easy reach. If your pet(s) prefer to spend their time at home, with little to no real change in routine, that is fine too. I have a fenced yard which is secure and safe for small dogs as well as large dogs. Behind my home is open space which provides the option of enjoying a walk or playtime without having to be around other people or dogs. I am currently working from my home so your schedule can easily become my schedule so that I may accomodate you and your pet(s) needs 24/7. I have a spacious home and open space as an extension to my backyard which allows your pet to not have to deal with other pets or people whenever needed.

“Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog while he was out of town! He took him for walks and also spent time playing with him in our yard so that he wouldn’t be lonely while we were away and sent us the cutest pictures so we knew that our little fluffball was doing ok! He also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and taking out our trash cans on collection day. Highly recommend Michael - he’s responsible, kind, and very easy to work with!”
