“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”


“Lux is great! She was on time, took notes, was organized and diligent, and took good care of my 2 dogs. I highly recommend her and would hire her again. She is also studying to become a vet which is an added plus.”


“Kathryn was absolutely amazing! She provided exceptional care, and all my furry friends adored her. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made a real difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver!”


“Samantha was the most caring, thoughtful sitter for my dog Bella. She sent pictures and kept me updated while I was out of town. And left my house exactly as I left it! I will absolutely use her again!”


“Adrienne was wonderful with our two dogs! Her calm energy was a great fit for our pups, who need a loving and quiet home. I could tell immediately upon our first meeting that she was a kind and compassionate person, which put us at ease. She sent us cute videos and updates, which were fun to get. Our house was immaculate when we returned home, too. Highly recommend Adrienne!”


“Leyla was great with Mila and sent a lot of pics. For sure we will ask help again from her.”


About: I grew up around animals. My senior bichon-poodle passed away in June 2024. Although I am not ready to commit to another pet I am committed to hanging out with your fur baby auntie style! I love staying active and I walk/run every morning and it would be more motivating with a furry friend who loves walks too. *I work as a medical assistant and have past experience with senior dogs so I am comfortable giving medications* I work full time but have time to walk/check on your fur baby Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's in the mornings. I am off Saturday through Monday ! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I’ll treat them with care and compassion. The park I live by is a great place for a good morning walk.

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian, describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. I’m allergic to cigarette smoke so that’s my only restriction. I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.

“Carmelo did a wonderful job staying in my house with Bentley and Benji while we were away for a six days. He sent photos daily, communicated often and my house looked perfect when I arrived home. The pups were happy and healthy. Thanks Carmelo, I will definitely call you again.”


“Chris had great communication throughout the stay and provided lots of updates and pictures! I returned to a very happy pet. Will definitely use him again.”


“Stella was an incredible cat sitter! She did exactly what I asked, sent great photos during every visit, and clearly loves and understands cats. When I forgot to mention Milo’s dry food, she went out of her way to make sure he had everything he needed, such a thoughtful and responsible gesture. She was super easy to communicate with and clearly took her role seriously. I felt totally at ease knowing my kitties were in her care. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi, I’m Connor! What sets me apart is that I’ve been surrounded by expert-level dog care my entire life. My mom was a vet tech for over 10 years, and for the past 20, she’s been a professional dog walker, boarder, and trainer. Growing up in that environment, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s walking, boarding, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs like they’re part of the family. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, which means I can follow your pet’s routine exactly — whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and fully dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and respect for your space. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and reduce stress. During walks and visits, I make sure all doors and gates are securely closed and never leave your pet unattended outside. I keep open communication with you throughout my visits, providing updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and well-being, along with respect for your home, are my top priorities.

“Pat came through for us in a pinch and was a fantastic housesitter! Pancake loved her and she stepped in to help with a couple non-dog related issues as well. Thanks so much Pat!”



“Mari stayed with our dog and cat and she was amazing. She was super thorough and very communicative. She sent us updates and photos a couple of times a day which makes leaving them a bit easier. We would definitely rebook and recommend Mari!”


“Krystal is amazing. I felt so good leaving my dog with her. She watched Steele at my house and took him on long runs and sent me lots of photos. He looked so happy in The photos. It’s such a relief to have him in such loving hands.”


“Jill was amazing!! She treated our pup better than we do with so many outings and exercise! We would love to have Jill sit for us again. Thanks Jill!”


About: I love dogs (and cats)! I have walked dogs for family members, neighbors and friends for the past 15+ years. I would love to walk your dogs, play with your energetic pup and make sure they are having an amazing day! I can also stop by to feed and water them, or dog sit, and send you an update you about your dog’s or cat’s status after each visit :-). I’m currently very flexible with my schedule and can come walk your dog most days of the week, given at least a day’s notice, within a radius of 7 miles from San Rafael. I can walk dogs outside of your house or take care of dogs within your house. This includes refilling food, water, treats and playing with your dog. Happy to walk to a nearby dog park if that is available and that is something you regularly do with your dog!

About: Fur babies are no different than human babies, and I think they deserve even more care and attention when they are with a sitter since they miss their owners and already experience some level of separation anxiety. Good news is with me your dog will be so busy playing with another puppy during the day, and exploring parks, beach, hikes, or walking around time after my normal work hours. If they get too dirty while playing grooming Is available in house , and training can be offered for dogs that are too disobedient per your request. Tail wagging guaranteed! I work remote Friday & Monday allowing me flexibility to take care of other dogs. I have a very friendly chow, and am looking for new play buddies for him on the weekends. I no longer accept Pets into my own home, but open to sitting at pet parents house. Letting the dog be on or off leash is based on owner discretion.

About: Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’d love to help care for your furry friends. I have six years of experience with pet and house sitting. I used to volunteer at the humane society so I am very familiar and comfortable with animals and their needs. I’m local to Sausalito, and am happy to help you out if you’re located in Marin. I’m partial to cats, as I have a kitty of my own, but I also grew up with dogs, and would love to meet your pup! Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions! I work a hybrid job, so I am in office a few days a week, but my schedule is flexible. I’m most free in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, but can work in some afternoons as well! Communication is key! Please let me know if there are any special circumstances related safety for your pet. Personally, I keep cameras around my home for ease of mind, so I understand if you do the same.
