Dog Walkers in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, CA

“Olive absolutely loves her regular walks with Lisa. I appreciate how communicative Lisa is with us, and getting our photo updates of their excursions. Thanks for making Olive happy and her parents' schedules easier!”

“Reg was very happy when we got home and looked like he had a good time out on his walk. Thanks for giving him his frozen Kong treat and water!!”

“Megan was very professional and on time, gave updates on how my dog was doing, and was able to meet his needs! He is a reactive shepherd mix and Megan is experienced with rescue dogs, and the sensitive, reactive pups so she gets him and knows how to support him out in the world. Would definitely book again. Thank you!”

About: Experienced in dog caretaking and confident in their abilities working with dogs. Raised with dogs in their family home and continued spending time with dogs as they grew up. In 2024, lived with 25+ dogs at a dog shelter in Central America. Usually walked six dogs at a time as they walked all the dogs in the shelter daily. Have experience hiking with dogs as well. During their time living at the dog shelter, would constantly wash dogs, clean up after them, give them medications, feed them, and attend to any other needs that they had. Also have some knowledge over basic leash training. Friendly, energetic, and excited to meet your dogs! 🦮🐕‍🦺 🐩 🐕 🐾 💕 Hoping to go full-time into pet-care, so have a lot of availability. Would like this to be my main source of income as I continue to advance professional development. When volunteered with 25+ dogs at a dog shelter in Central America for a semester, the owners developed enough rapport with me to leave me in charge when they traveled. I was able to attend to each individual dogs’ needs, giving medication to certain dogs and giving specialized care to others. I have also been in charge of taking care of our family pets growing up.

“Julia took care of our pets (3 dogs a cat and 12 chickens) when we went out of town. We are animal people (obviously) and our pets are super important to us. She took such excellent care of everyone! Even without our asking, she took extra time to spend with our outdoor cat cuddling with her on the porch. We would not hesitate to use her again!! She is a delightful person who cares deeply for animals. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, have loved and cared for 3 dogs of my own and am always helping out friends and family with their pet care needs. My dog (80lb Golden Retriever/Bernese), who adores other dogs of all shapes and sizes, is a great walking companion or playmate, however, he is happy to sit one out if you would prefer your dog to have solo time. I'm here to help so feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I have been a stay at home mom to three young kids for the past few years but they are now all at school for a good part of the day, so my schedule has opened up a bit. I am flexible on the situation whether you would like me to drop in and play at your home, go for a walk/hike, or have your dog over to play at our house. The best hours for me for in home visits or walks are between 8:30am-2pm. Extended hours are available for care in our home if your pet is good around children. If your needs are beyond the hours described here, just reach out to check my availability as I am often able to help, just not as consistently. We have a tiered backyard that is fully fenced with grass, shade and a dog door for indoor/outdoor access. We also have AC for those hot days when it feels better to relax inside.

“Stephanie is fantastic! She could not have been sweeter, more patient, and attentive with my dog (I have an anxious dog). She's highly responsible, reliable and has a warm and friendly personality. A true animal lover! I could not recommend her more highly!”

“I had an excellent experience with Thais. She is extremely responsible, punctual, and asked all the right questions about my dog’s routine, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very loving and caring with him, showing her genuine affection for animals. I will definitely hire her again when I need to. Highly recommend!”

“J is an amazing pet caregiver. J watched our dogs and kept us updated with photos on their adventures. Our dogs were happy and cared for, when we returned from vacation they were content instead of having been missing us. Thank you J for all your care and work!”

“Diane really cares about getting these dogs a good time, Gracie loves going out with Diane”

“Chris is so great! Friendly, responsible and very professional. He is so sweet with our dog and takes her on wonderful walks. She comes back super happy and super tired.”

“It is a pleasure to write a recommendation for Abbey -she is an awesome pet person ! I have watched Abbey interact with and care for pets over the past 20 years. She has an open and loving heart for all the animals she interacts with and how many times have I seen her get on the ground to commune with new animal friends. Abbey is responsible and thoughtful about the animals under her care and dedicates herself to their well being. Her playfulness and warmth puts pets at ease and they clearly feel safe with her. Abbey is dependable and exercises good judgement in her care of pets. I have complete confidence in Abbey's ability to provide exemplary loving care to her pet charges. Abbey's enthusiasm and energy will make your pet a very happy being.”

“Kelsey is fabulous! She's kind, warm, reliable and responsible and best of all she's really good with dogs and my Evie LOVES her!! When she's Kelsey she can't contain her excitement and joy, like she's seeing her best friend I highly recommend Kelsey, we all love her!”

“Jenny is an incredibly reliable and timely sitter. My dog Lexi gets incredibly excited when I tell her "ready for a walk with Jenny?!" 10/10 recommend!”

“Jennifer has been our go-to pet sitter for the last 3 years. She watches our two cats, Winston and Willow and always goes above and beyond. She provides extra care for them by checking in on them multiple times a day, giving them extra treats (per our request), and making sure there’s playtime built into their day. Jennifer has even gone out of her way to spoil our cats with new toys and treats! Jennifer is on speed dial at this point. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sarah has helped me out with walking and watching my very anxious and traumatized rescue dog. She has a calm and loving demeanor that makes animals trust her and can handle dogs that have special needs. She is good at walking him even though he pulls and has been very responsive to me when watching my dog. I very much recommend her as a dog walker/sitter.”

“I am pleased to recommend Kelsy as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has a natural ability to connect with animals, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and loved. Kelsy is reliable, attentive, and compassionate, always going the extra mile to make pets feel comfortable and happy. Her dedication and empathy make her an ideal choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver.”

“Arrived on time, friendly, made sure to ask if I had any special instructions or preferences, and handled my dog's stranger anxiety very well. 10/10”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 8 years. Collectively I have taken care of my friends, family and my own dogs. Growing up with both cats and dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Currently, I share my home with two beautiful Vizslas, aged 8 months and 3 years. I believe that every animal is unique, and I am dedicated to providing individualized attention to each furry family member I care for. Whether your pet requires special dietary needs, medication administration, or specific exercise routines, I'll tailor my care to meet their unique requirements. Being an athletic individual myself, I understand the importance of staying active for pets just as much as for humans. Whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood (or a run if you prefer), a game of fetch, or some interactive indoor play, I'll ensure your pet gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I also love taking dogs on exciting adventures to places like Stinson Beach, the reservoir, or on hikes, (if that's something that appeals to you). Whether you're away on a trip or just at work for the day, I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry friend. That's why I offer regular updates, including photos and videos of our day's adventures, or just a quick pic to show you how much fun your furry family member is having in my care. Feel free to check out my availability and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions. Leave your worries behind and let me be your pet's second-best friend! My schedule is flexible, with morning walks being a priority. I can accommodate your dog's needs seamlessly into my daily routine. With proper notice or planning, I can accommodate most boarding requests seamlessly. I provide personalized pet care tailored to your pet's needs, including feeding, medication, exercise, and companionship, ensuring their comfort and happiness. I would treat them like one of my own :)
