“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”

Nicole & Mauricio I.

“I needed help with walking the dogs, and checking in them while my partner was away for vacation for nearly a month, and with my long commute. Added onto the fact of being away from home 12 hours every week day. She did an amazing job, was on time, communicative, thorough, and just an absolute joy to work with. Our dogs instantly loved her with the meet & greet, and she went above and beyond every day we had her scheduled. I highly recommend booking with her, you won't be disappointed!”

About: When I adopted my first dog he was a very scared dog. He is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.

“Kyle watched over my Labrador with a recent toe injury AND during a blistering 115 degree heat wave. While thousands of miles away I never worried with Kyle. He is incredibly dependable, easy going and flexible. You can’t go wrong with Kyle caring for your best friend.”

I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a trusting relationship. 🌸 Communication with Owners: I keep pet owners updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. 3.

By focusing on these core principles, I strive to provide the highest level of care, ensuring pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own home.

About: Passionate Animal Lover: My journey with dogs started at the young age of 5 when I had my first canine companion. Ever since then, my life has revolved around caring for and understanding these amazing creatures. Over the years, I have developed a deep bond with dogs and strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. Three Years of Dedicated Service: I have been proudly serving Sonoma County for the past three years, and will now be branching out to Marin County, providing dog walking and training services that prioritize the well-being and happiness of our four-legged friends. During this time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of dog breeds and personalities, gaining valuable experience in handling various situations. Extending Services: Recognizing the demand for my services, I recently decided to extend my offerings to neighboring cities. I am eager to share my expertise and passion for dogs with more pet owners, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the best care and attention possible. Handling Challenges: As a dog owner myself, I understand that our furry friends may exhibit certain behavioral challenges. Leash pulling, reactivity, and aggression are not uncommon issues, and I have dealt with them effectively in the past. Through patience, positive reinforcement, and tailored training methods, I can help address and improve these behaviors, fostering a healthier and happier relationship between you and your dog. I would be delighted to meet you and your beloved canine companion for a free evaluation! 🐶 Thank you for considering me as a potential partner in your dog's journey to a happier and healthier life. I am looking forward to the possibility of working with you and your furry friend! During the summer I typically schedule walks in the morning or evening. This is because it gets so hot during the day that the asphalt can get to crazy high temperatures and possibly blister your pup's paws. Caring for pets' needs in the home requires attention, responsibility, and love. Food & Water: Provide your pet with a balanced and appropriate diet according to their species, breed, and age. Follow a regular feeding schedule and ensure access to clean, fresh water at all times. Exercise: Dogs and many other pets require regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Take your dog for daily walks, play with them, or provide suitable toys and activities to keep them engaged. Healthcare: Schedule regular check-ups with a veterinarian to ensure your pet is in good health. Stay up-to-date on vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and any necessary medications. Pet-Proofing: Make your home safe for your pets by removing hazards such as toxic plants, small objects that can be swallowed, and electrical cords that can be chewed. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pets and provide them with social interaction. Pets, especially dogs, thrive on companionship and human interaction. Enrichment: Offer mental stimulation through interactive toys, puzzles, and activities that challenge your pet's mind. Love and Affection: Show your pets love, care, and affection. Spend time cuddling, playing, and communicating with them. Training: Train your pets using positive reinforcement methods to teach basic commands, appropriate behavior, and reinforce good manners.

“Wow Cora is amazing! She helped us out during a family emergency and was able to come over to take care of our girls at the last minute. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and even braved the rain to give them exercise. I highly recommend working with Cora.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on.

About: I've taken care of a multitude of different species for pretty much all of my life- I've been responsible for our family cat as well as our dog for about four years now. I also keep personal animals such as rats, fish, and birds and have done so for the past ten years. I've petsit for many, including people with elderly cats and energetic dogs. I'm currently working on and off shifts sporadically on the weekends, but should be available every weekday! On the weekends, my schedule is a little less flexible, but I should be able to work with other people's scheduling needs. I'm very attentive to animal body language and commination and so highly value treating animals with the highest respect, asking consent before petting or handling, and making sure they are comfortable with me!

“Margi is G R E A T!!! She is very professional & caring. The minute our dog, River saw her at our meet & greet she fell in love with Margi and they connected really well.

Thank you Margi for all your help and love for River!”

“Cynthia was amazing! She was very flexible on scheduling and easy to work with. Most importantly my pup loved going out with her everyday while we were in town. She also is a great trainer and taught us several things to improve his behavior. We will definitely keep in touch and try to work with her again.”
