Doggy Day Care in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls

“Susannah and Richard were so kind and great to work with! They took excellent care of our nervous dog during a holiday, allowing us to spend valuable time with family, which we really appreciated. They asked helpful questions to make sure they could provide the best care for our dog, and they made sure to take him out for walks and give him lots of good attention. We are so glad we met them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”

“Our 4 month old puppy had a great time doing a day sit with Ellen! She is usually shy but took to Ellen immediately, and Ellen was helpful and communicative throughout the whole process.”

“My nervous dogs were so happy staying with Alex and Bri for the day! I got lots of pictures of them enjoying snuggles and playtime so I knew they were having a great time. We will definitely be back!”

About: We love animals but not having our own at this time means we have space in our hearts and home to care for yours! Our kids, ages 8 & 10 have lots of energy and love to share with your furry family member! We will guide them and make sure everyone is safe and happy. Must be friendly around respectful kids. Please don’t send dogs that will chew on or scratch furniture. A little slobber and shedding are expected. We love all kinds of dogs. Can’t wait to meet your pup! We work from home and will only book services on weekends if we plan to be around. We enjoy walking, playing, and petting/snuggling doggy friends. We have a fenced in yard and live on a cul de sac close (walkable) to parks. We don’t have any pets of our own so your pet will get our full attention.

“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!”

“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: I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for 30 years. I have special training with service animals and retired (senior) service animals. I am a full-time dog care provider, so your pup will have my undivided attention! I will adhere to any feeding, walking, etc. schedule you prefer. My backyard is every dog’s happy place! Lots of grass, toys, water, and a fully secure, fenced yard with plenty of shaded areas to stay cool from the heat.

“Chris, was very patient and kind regarding our 3.5 year old pup and took him on a few walks during his doggie day care time from 9:30-4:30pm. His dog, Cash, and Nugget both enjoyed their puppy time together. Christ was great at being able to handle all the puppy shananagans they had together. Chris really helped me out while my husband and I were at my father’s memorial service. We are so appreciative and recommend his services. He is new to the area but don’t let that stop you from utilizing his services.”

About: ****Please note new changes *** I recently adopted and rescued a sweet 1 yr old Havanese mix dog. He's very friendly and very chill with animals including cats. For dog sits, I would request that he come with me (although he might not and he might stay home with his mom). I have an extensive history with animals. Lastly, a new update, I will not accept dogs who are aggressive with other dogs moving forward. I have owned three dogs, two cats, and two ferrets in the past. I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a young boy. I currently adopted a new dog and he is a sweet angel and very well-behaved. You will get constant updates on how your dog is doing on a daily basis. I will take them on fun adventures to hiking trails, beaches, or parks. I am a firm believer that dogs are really man's best friends and will treat your furry friend as if he/she was my own, with lots of love. Look forward to meeting with you and your dog. Yes, I currently walk my dog at least 3 times a day, including a hike where we can meet other dogs. I do this full-time as we have officially entered a recession in the tech world. If I am in the home/boarding, I will ensure your dog is fed and adheres to their normal routines. Nothing changes when I care for them, except we might be hiking a lot depending on their age and if they can handle that; if not, we chill locally and take small local walks or let them outside for relief.

“Reliable and very willing to offer suggestions to otherwise impossible situations. I feel very lucky to have found such a positive and capable sitter. When my beloved dog is in Jesse's care I have nothing to worry about.”

About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

“So glad we met Edward! He took great care of our labradoodle, who can get very bad separation anxiety when we're away. I liked how Edward was thoughtful about bringing his dog outside to introduce her to our dog, and took them for a walk together right away so they could get to know each other. Edward's dog was very sweet and well behaved, and got along great with our dog. We are so thankful for Edward's help!”

“Thanks marissa, I was able to work all day and not worry about my pup being taken care of, especially on a holiday. She was quick to respond and I appreciated her positive attitude. I definitely would use her again.”

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.

“Reliable and caring...a good combination”

“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.”

About: We only take 1 dog to be cared for at a time with our small family & havapoo Ollie. I work from home during the week so there is lots of time for cuddles and walking. My teen is eager to help! I work from home full-time, so provide cuddles, attention and lots of walks. In the evenings our family of 3 + havapoo Ollie will care for your fur baby just like ours We can follow whatever protocols you would like for your pup. We have a fenced in deck and provide plenty of walking and exercise at the open field down the hill if your pup is up for it.
