About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.
“Had a last minute trip and was fortunate to find Morgan and Svet. They took my dog on some amazing adventures to the beach and hiking. Super accommodating and had a great yard to play in. He also got to make new buddy! Highly recommend!!”
“Emily was wonderful! We arranged a meeting in advance to give my dog a chance to see the space and place. Then Emily was flexible with timing as we firmed up plans. She took great care of Aubrey and her dog Gigi was a super pal for Aubrey.”
“We left our frenchie puppy with Lori & Frank and couldn’t have been happier. After meeting Lori & Frank we knew he was in great hands. They are both so warm and caring and you can tell they love animals. They took amazing care of him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“Tom took great care of our pup, Bunker! He was very responsive and sent us updates and photos, which we loved! We could tell Bunker had a great stay when she started pulling in the direction of his neighborhood on our first walk back from our trip :-)”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Kevin was wonderful taking care of our dog Ranger for a long weekend. Easy to communicate with, sent updates while we were away and was not phased at all taking care of our 110 pound dog! Thank you so much!!”
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.
“Coco spent over a week with Dennis and had a wonderful time. Dennis sent frequent updates as well as an adorable video which really reassured me that she was happy and well. I couldn't be happier with this experience. Thanks Dennis!”
“Elena and Holly were excellent sitters for my chihuahua mix Toaster. They were very communicative, responsible and Toaster was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I will definitely use them again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 14 and am kind, gentle and respectful. I love being with animals and engaging with them. I walk dogs often because I love to walk myself! I feel dogs should be outside often and move around and not be left alone. I work from home part time in a relaxed, comfortable environment. I also take walks about every two hours around my tranquil neighborhood for exercise. I love to hold small dogs and pet bigger ones as I feel pets need attention. I have a comfortable, clean condo with plenty of green space and walking g paths outside. There is also a fenced balcony. I don’t own any pets.
“Martha was so wonderful with Maica. She understood my rescue dog’s unique mannerisms and tended to them lovingly. She was communicative, kind, and easy to work with. So appreciative of her care!”
“Carla took such great care of our pup Pippa! She made sure there was plenty of activity each day and we received many updates. Pippa had so much fun and we felt at ease our pup was in good hands. We will definitely use Carla again in the future!”
“Mary was a great sitter! She provided regular updates & pictures and took our pup on multiple walks throughout his weekend stay. Our dog tends to be more anxious and he seemed at ease in her care :) would highly recommend and we hope to use her services again soon!”
“Another awesome boarding with Amber! Oakley ran up to her door and had full body wags when I dropped her off. She came back happy & Amber took her for a nice morning walk before I picked her up”
“Heather is great and our go-to dog sitter for our two pups. They both have their own unique needs and traits and she is handles them with ease. She provides consistent updates with photos and videos which we love. We highly recommend her!”
“Kosara is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. She lives in a bright apartment directly behind the Mill Valley Pet Clinic which her mother ran for many years. I felt immediately at ease when we first met and knew Stewart would be in capable hands. I was updated daily with photos where he was clearly making himself at home. I’m so glad to have found a local boarder who I can trust. Thank you, Kosara!”

Leonard is the best! Lily had the best time ever! We will for sure book them again. They took such good care of Lily took her for walks got her social time. It was the best and I would argue they are the best on rover. Pictures, communication, everything! Thank you!
Sue and her family saved us in a last minute jam when our usual sitter cancelled the day before our trip!.. they gave me regular updates, lots of adorable photos, the made Charlie feel like one of the family! I would certainly book with Sue again - they were wonderful! I knew Charlie was safe and well looked after so I could enjoy our time away! Thanks!
Alexandria and Ben are everything you’d hope for when it comes to entrusting someone with your beloved pet. They’re responsible, communicative, and above all, truly caring. They don’t just watch Iggy. They pay attention to her routines, quirks, moods, and needs. Iggy can be a handful, but they handle her with patience, humor, and real affection.
Lydia is so great! I can tell Murph is very happy and relaxed at her place. She takes him on walks and her outdoor space is perfect for lounging in the sun - two of Murph’s all time favorite activities. She’s super communicative with updates and photos. I continue to use her even though she’s a bit out of the way for me because she’s been so wonderful and Murph seems so happy at her place.
Our dog was well cared for during a very challenging week in Marin. The stormy weather caused a 2 day 2 night power outage. They have a great space for dogs. They are experienced and dependable. We were able to travel knowing our sometimes complicated dog would be managed well. We recommend!
Polly is such a sweet and gentle sitter. Our puppy is always so excited to see her and feels comfortable, happy, and loved when he’s with Polly. She follows our instructions, gives happy and timely updates, and is overall an amazing pet sitter. Highly recommend having Polly watch your pets!
Audrey and Pedro and their pup, Dakota, were amazing hosts to Alfie. Alfie loved it so much he didn’t want to leave with me when I got home, ha! Audrey was very communicative, providing great Alfie updates and pictures, and you could tell he had the best time with them. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some pup care!
