“Stanley loves Adriana! Stanley is a senior dog with health issues & Adriana handles it all with confidence & is an excellent caregiver! He loves her space & his tail wags say it all. Definitely a gem!”
“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”
“Elena was so sweet, caring, and very accommodating for a last minute booking. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and he had a great time on his little hike. So happy to have found a new sitter in the area 🙂”
“Krystle was kind, patient, positive, upbeat, AND was able to magically meet my super-energetic 14-month-old Australian Labradoodle's needs without "spoiling" her. I knew my furbaby would be well-cared for after seeing how Krystle treated her three dogs, with vastly different ages, personalities, and exercise requirements, but seeing my puppy accepted as part of "the pack" went beyond my highest expectations. My puppy came home exercised, clean, and clearly deeply content.”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Maral (pronounced Mer-All)—a professional dog trainer with a deep passion for helping dogs become calm, confident companions. My journey began over a decade ago when I helped raise and train a Doberman puppy who grew into a happy- go-lucky 120-lb giant. That experience sparked my dedication to not just caring for dogs, but helping them thrive. Today, I bring a thoughtful, psychology-based approach to every walk, visit, and day camp session. With a background in balanced dog training, and hands on experience with 100’s of dogs, I focus on fulfillment, clarity, and structure—giving dogs what they need to regulate their excitement, build confidence, and feel grounded in their environment. Unlike traditional pet care, my services are designed to enrich your dog’s mind and manners simultaneously. I implement threshold awareness, leash work, and real-world obedience into every visit. Reactive dog? I will keep them under threshold. Powerful Pup? I have one too! I know how to stand my ground. Shy with new people? I know just how to turn down the pressure. Extra Energetic? I’ll bring my flirt pole or tug toy, and we can work thier mind while also working thier body. For interested clients, I can also introduce crate training or work on off-leash remote collar training—always with clarity and care. Whether your dog is nervous and unsure or strong-willed and overstimulated, they’re in calm, capable hands. My goal is simple: to help fulfill your dog - while improving your lives on the trail, on the sofa, or on the sidewalk. Because I am self employed, I have all the flexibility in my scheduling to be able to accommodate whatever you and your pet might need. I am comfortable administering medication to both dogs and cats, as well as caring for any other pets present in the home in the case of house visits. I will always make sure waters have been topped up before leaving your home. I send daily videos of how things are going, where we went for walks, and training.
“(I really appreciate your flexibility, Dennis, on the timing. I will endeavor to NOT need to do that in the future however.) Dennis gained my confidence almost immediately. This was our second time there, and yes my dog came home happy. But most important, she was VERY happy to go there! Ran me up the steps. YAY!”
“Jake and Sam took such kind and loving care of Ruckus on very short notice. This dad and daughter team made pick-up and drop-off easy, and our pup was so happy (and sleepy) from all the fun at the end of the day. Thank you both!”
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.
“Ashley and Josh were amazing hosts for my pug Mookie. They were communicative, provided updates throughout a busy day, and I felt reassured knowing Mookie was in a comfortable and caring place. I appreciated their flexibility and understanding with my work schedule (and on a holiday too). Overall, I highly recommend, with my sincerest gratitude. 🙏”
About: I grew up with dogs and cat, I was taking care of my family and friends’s dogs and cats plants of times. I’ve been doing housesitting and dog walking in US over a year and always happy to meet incredible pets and their owners. I have experience with different dog breeds: Pekingese, Golden Retriever, Labradoodle, Maltese, French Bulls, Cavapoo, Peekapoo, Newfypoo, Corgipoo, Cockapoo, Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, Toy Poodle, Labrador, …, mixed breeds) I know how important it is to make sure that pets are comfortable and safe while their owners are away, and I'm always extra careful about keeping everything clean and tidy. I love spend time with dogs and sometimes I think that they are the best what we have in this world❤️ I study remotely with a flexible schedule, so when I pet sit at a client’s home, I get to spend most of my time with my furry companions😌 I play with dogs, I can teach new commands if you want, I walk them with full attention to them, I love to feed them and give all useful needed treats, usually I also brush them and try to give them what they use to have with their owners. We can go to dog park if they like it or vise versa to walk avoiding connection with other dogs if it needs. I can give them their medication in specific time) And of course I love them, I think that it’s very important for dogs as for people. My behavior is different with all dogs, because all of them have their own character and favorite/unloved things and their safety and comfort are on the first place for me.
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since the age of 10. My passion for animals started when I was gifted my own dog who I received for my 7th birthday 11 years ago! I have been the primary care provider for him. I am excited to share my love of animals and offer affordable services to my community! Since I am currently enrolled in online college coursework, my schedule is very flexible. In addition to home visits & walks, I am available to board your pet in my family home in Madera Del Presidio in Corte Madera. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and live two blocks from a dog-friendly park. Two friendly dogs & a cat, who thinks he’s a dog, reside in our home.
“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.”
“We were traveling and had last minute need for a sitter. What a lucky break finding Carla & Lenny! Not only was our boy well cared for, but he went on a gorgeous hike and made friends! He may have had a better holiday than us! Definitely will use again when we’re back in the area.”

Maral M.
“Maral is an incredibly responsible and trustworthy dog walker and dog sitter. My dog, Daisy, is a high needs dog with some behavioral issues. Maral is very attuned to her and her behavioral needs and is cognizant of the environments she takes Daisy into, always making sure that Daisy is safe and is not going to be triggered by outside stimuli. Daisy absolutely adores Maral (she even let her trim her nails a few weeks ago)! Without being asked, Maral also will work on basic obedience with her. I have used Maral on multiple occasions to be a dog sitter when I have been on vacation or work trips. Last year I went on a two-week trip outside of the country and I felt so relieved and confident knowing that my dog was being provided excellent and responsible care when it would have been difficult to get back home quickly if anything went wrong. Maral is well known and well-respected among myself and my neighbors. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

We boarded our dog for two nights with Angelica and she was so great! Very communicative and took the time to meet us ahead of time so our dog could get to know her and her sweet dog. She kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend and was flexible with pick-up and drop-off too. I highly recommend Angelica!
