About: I have been watching my sisters and neighbors fur babies for years. They rely on me when they travel for work or go on vacation. I have watched multiple cats and dogs as well as administered a hydration IV for a senior cat. I am loving and kind and will treat your fur babies like my own. I have a tuxedo kitty named Tucker and an Australian Shepherd named Harley, I will always make time for playtime and extra snuggles and pets. I’m currently not working so my schedule is very flexible and open. I can come at a time that is best for you. If you need a consistent schedule, I am able to do that. Our dog Harley is crated trained and plays indoors and outdoors in our fenced backyard.. She is walked on a leash daily and I check for ticks and foxtails after each walk. I completely puppy proofed the house when we adopted her. Tucker is an indoor cat and I keep up on his brushing to reduce his fur balls. I put his feather wand up high when I’m not at home so it’s safer for him. I play with him every day with the feather wand to get exercise and interaction. I know which flowers are not good for pets so we do not bring those into our home.

“Emily is very sweet and she takes good care of my boy Lewi. Punctual, professional and very well priced compared to the competition. I’m happy I found her!”

About: I’ve take care of all kinds of pets since I was 5 years old. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for four years. I also have my own pets, who I adore. I am currently a graduate student and I also coach volleyball 2x per week. Becasue of my free (ish) schedule throughout the day, I love to take care of animals on my free time! I will carefully listen to the owners instructions, and give the animals the correct care they need. I can also help a little with training if it is necessary and of course dog walks.

About: Growing up, I’ve always had an assortment of family pets, from fish, crabs, birds, and dogs. I’ve dog-sitted around town for my neighbors, family, and friends! Taking care of animals truly makes me happy! I’m currently a student at College of Marin and intern in Sausalito. I try my best to be flexible with your pups schedule and their needs. Please let me know what works best for you and your pups in advance! I would really appreciate knowing as much info about your doggo before taking care of them. Any medical, dietary, or physical concerns. If possible, I’d prefer to schedule an in-person meet up beforehand to connect with your pets. I love taking dogs out for fun hikes, runs, beach days, and dog parks adventures all around Marin. I try my best to make your pups as happy as they can be!

“Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!”

About: (Pls. Note, I can’t take dogs that shed… sorry) I have always loved dogs. Over the years, I have fostered and walked rescue dogs, dog-sat many dogs. I'm proud to say my family (husband and 14 yr old) love dogs as well. When I care for dogs, I treat them like my own. They get lots of cuddles, a ton of attention and love. I work from home and need to leave the house sometimes for appointments, but overall I am around the house except for maybe 2-3 hours a day. I love walking each day so enjoy having a dog with me! We have no other pets at this time, just a 10-year-old boy. We have a fenced yard and pay a lot of attention to the dogs that are here! They are usually either on our couch, if allowed by the owner, or near us at all times.

About: I was a dog owner for many years and now that mine are no longer here I enjoy being able to take care of others little furry loved ones. I am able to offer lots of time with your pet as I work from home. Hiking and walks, comfortable with elder pet care. I live near lots of hiking trails in a quiet neighborhood. I work from home so I can offer a lot of time with your pet. I love to hike and walk and can offer multiple daily walks, short or long. I would be gone usually no longer than 4-6 hours max. I have a large fenced back yard. Pets are welcome to hang in any room in our house and I can offer them a quiet room if they prefer that. I do have a seven year old son who is very calm and gentle. Your dogs will need to be kid friendly. I do have hard wood floors but have rugs in each room if your pet has mobility issues. We want your dog to be happy and comfortable here and will work with you to make that happen.

“Nadya was very prompt, courteous and great communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m passionate about caring for animals and creating a loving, safe environment for every pet. Based in beautiful Novato (Marin County), my husband and I share our home—and a spacious, dog-friendly backyard—with our sweet German Shepherd, Princess Leia. I’ve had the joy of living with and caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Frenchies (like my late pup, Sputnik 💔) to energetic shepherds. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pet will receive personalized attention and plenty of affection. I only book a limited number of pets at a time so each one gets the care they deserve. Leia is gentle and well-socialized, making her a great companion for friendly visitors. 🐱 I’m also a lifelong cat lover and grew up with several. I’d be happy to drop in to feed your cat, clean up as needed, and of course, offer cuddles and company. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and loving sitter or walker, I’d love to help! With a flexible schedule and a deep passion for animals, caring for pets is more than a job—it’s a joy. I love spending my days walking dogs, playing in the backyard, and pampering cats, all while creating a peaceful and loving environment for each furry guest. Whether it’s energetic playtime, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or quiet cuddles on the couch, your dog or cat will be treated like family. Personalized attention, gentle care, and plenty of affection come standard here. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comforted, and truly loved while you’re away—and that’s exactly what I promise to deliver. I provide personalized pet care in my home and also offer attentive in-home visits, ensuring a safe, loving environment wherever your pet feels most comfortable. Whether at your place or mine, your pet is treated like family. From regular walks and playtime to feeding, medication administration, and cuddle breaks, I tailor each day to meet your dog’s or cat’s unique needs, routines, and personality. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, adapting as needed to keep them happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pup will never be left unsupervised—instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, gentle care, and a calm, cozy space to relax. I make sure every dog gets a healthy balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest, so they stay happy, comfortable, and well-loved throughout their stay. Whether it’s for the day or overnight, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in a secure, nurturing home where snuggles are always part of the routine. 🐾

“Emory was wonderful! Finbar was happy to see her the days she came to walk him and she took him on good, long walks. We will be reaching out to use her again!”

About: What sets me apart: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of skill, patience, and genuine love for animals. As a co-founder of an animal rescue, I’ve cared for pets in every situation imaginable — from scared pups fresh off the streets to lively, energetic dogs, shy souls needing time to trust, and sweet seniors requiring extra TLC. Special skills & experience: 🐾 Puppies & Kittens: From playful pups to bottle-feeding kittens, I’ve nurtured countless young animals, guiding them through important early milestones. 🐕 Senior Care: My current specialty is caring for senior dogs, including support for mobility or sensory challenges, gentler activities, and administering medication for age-related needs. ❤️ Medical Needs: I have extensive experience helping pets through surgeries and recovery, ensuring meds are given properly and comfort, plus recovery, is always top priority. 🌟 Behavior & Temperament: Years in rescue taught me how to patiently build trust with nervous or unsure pets, introducing them safely to new environments and other animals. Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are truly my passion. Whether you have a bouncing puppy, a mellow older friend, or a special-needs companion, I’ll tailor my visits and walks to their unique needs — always with kindness and care. I'm currently working or going to school part-time (depending on the season), so I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). My schedule allows for flexibility and I can help you come up with a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I’ll tailor my visits and walks to your pet's unique needs — always with kindness and care. I will also get to know your instructions clearly.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.
