About: I have trained a pit Bull (off leash and crate trained) & Frenchie (puppy pads & leash trained), fostered cats, and cleaned fish aquariums. When in doubt, take your puppy on a walk! I work remotely and am flexible to help out with caring for animals by taking them on a walk/hike or having them over for the night. I have a fenced in front and back yard but would train the dog to poop/pee while going for a walk. I hike Mandeville canyon weekly and would be happy to take your dog with me for exercise.
“Connor was amazing! Needed someone to walk our dog after a recent surgery, and he was everything you want in a dog walker: polite, punctual, and positive interactions with your pet. Our dog would get excited every morning when Connor would arrive and clearly appreciated his morning exercise with Connor. Would 100% recommend.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life, from a three-legged Rottie named Goose, to Golden Retrievers, to Buster, a beloved mutt who loved long walks in the woods. I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and many happy clients, whether I was visiting them or they were visiting me. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, including walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, potty breaks, and everything in between. Many happy humans — according to their pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins never feel like an interruption — they are usually one of the best parts of my day. I’m active and outdoors often, so I’m happy to build my schedule around regular walks, longer outings when appropriate, and plenty of attention at home. I’m also comfortable with more detailed care needs, including medications, specific feeding routines, bathing, and keeping pets on the schedule they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or both, I like to keep things calm, consistent, and reliable so pets feel safe and their humans feel comfortable while they’re away. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and attentive. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, keep their spaces clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how things are going. My goal is to give each pet calm, reliable care and plenty of attention while their humans are away.
“Rachel is very conscientious and you can see she really cares about the wellbeing of my dogs. She is comfortable handling my slightly reactive but otherwise docile pack. I would get her again.”
“Mariia and Ethan were so wonderful with our two dogs. Ethan ran our young border collie, which she really needed to get enough exercise. Mariia was very sweet with our little dog. They were both flexible, caring and able to follow a moving target of instructions as our travel plans changed a bit. Really professional and fantastic people. I highly recommend.”
About: Hello there! I offer small-group hiking adventures for dogs: "Andy for Dogs Marin". Dogs are picked up from home, hike and explore together as a pack, then are dropped back off afterward. It’s a social group activity designed to provide exercise, enrichment, play, and outdoor adventure beyond a regular neighborhood walk. Each adventure includes at least two hours on the trails, usually covering 4–6 miles. Pickup, transportation, and drop-off are on top of the hike, so your dog is typically out for about 3–4 hours total. During our adventures, I reinforce basics such as recall, sit, stay, down, check-ins, and good pack manners. It’s not just exercise—the goal is to give dogs both physical and mental enrichment.
About: I have always grown up with pets in the house! I’ve also sat a variety of animals, breeds and temperaments. Always been a big animal lover! I currently have a very flexible and open schedule. I love being active and outdoors and always love to have a pet companion for that! I’d like to make the client as comfortable as possible, adhering to what they want for their pet and their environment. Obviously welcome animals into my home with lots of love and care.
About: I provide a calm environment in-home and exciting fun-filled adventures outside. Marin is my backyard and I love taking pups on hikes and to the beach. I have a 6-year old dog full time and she is great with all dogs. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs, from those that love to play to older dogs that need more one on one time. I'm comfortable with on and off-leash walks and am very attentive to dogs with unique triggers that need to be managed. I will provide a loving, caring environment with your dog where they can feel right at home and be their best self. I'm currently working part-time so I'm available throughout the day and evenings. I'm available weekdays and weekends. I live near a massive trail system, dog parks and the beach, so can customize your dog's stay based on what they love most. I have a 6-year old friendly dog, Chilli, in home to keep your pup company. I take Chilli on 2 big adventure walks each day and adjust that schedule for other dogs as needed, including additional potty breaks and play time. Dogs can be crated or not, depending on how they're most comfortable. Chilli roams freely in the house throughout the day and I often keep our patio door open for her to lounge in the sun.
About: I'm a lifelong pet guardian who has worked in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and volunteered at an animal sanctuary. I'm confident with all ages and have substantial experience with behavioral challenges. Caring for / being with / exercising / playing with animals is an integral part of my life. I have lived with dogs and sometimes cats for all of my adult life. Prior to pet-sitting, I meet the animal(s) and guardian to discuss their companion's routines regarding: feeding, activities, timing, cleaning supplies and medical needs. I typically pet-sit in the animals home. I keep the housing/yard/litter boxes clean. Routine consistency: Strictly adhere to their dog-walking routes, feeding times, and medication schedules.Security: Double-check gates, doors, and fences upon entry and exit to prevent accidental escapes.Environment management: Secure hazardous items (e.g., cleaning supplies, human food) and adjust thermostats for weather extremes
About: With years of experience caring for neighbors' and family friends' pets, I’ve become a trusted pet sitter for both weekend stays and extended vacations. Whether it's keeping pets company during a short weekend away or ensuring they're well-loved during long trips, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m a student taking remote classes, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I can easily fit pet sitting into my daily or weekly routine, ensuring your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm available to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. I make sure that the space is pet-proofed, free of hazards, and stocked with everything your pet might need—from toys to treats. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel secure. In clients' homes, I follow any specific instructions provided to ensure consistency in their routine and comfort. I also keep an open line of communication, sending updates to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.
About: I have years experience watching friends and families dogs as well as my own 8 year old pit bull. I love all animals and would love to spend time with your doggy :) I am available weekday nights after 6:00 pm and full day weekends Saturday and Sunday.

About: Fulfillment for me has long been found in helping others - Practicing caretaking (elderly/disabled) while enrolled in California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo + volunteering for a doggy day-care —-> provides me the experience to care for your pet/s with the love and diligence they deserve + communication skills to give you the peace of mind that your pets are safe and loved ———> Allowing you to enjoy your time away from home 🏡 Pet care has long been apart of my lifestyle… I was raised with a family dog since I was two years of age and have since owned chickens & a turtle. In addition I’ve volunteered for a grooming/day-care in San Francisco and house-sat with a friends puppies Safety for the pet is foremost - more specifically it’s a priority for me to ensure that the house/yard-area is secure. Early on, some animals have a tendency to be startled or skittish. I’ve had a pet-sitter at my house causing my own dog to be lost. This isn’t a situation I’d wish on anyone. Dog-walking: I like to first ask what your boundaries / concerns are regarding your pet. Would you prefer I keep your animal secluded from people, refrained from dog-interaction? Are there any particular places your furry friend prefers over others? I’m more than happy to utilize the local parks to get the dog into open-space, or just take a stroll around the block!
“Kelly Ann has helped me out, super last-minute, twice, and both times she's been fantastic. (The first time she walked my dog, she brought homemade dog biscuits. :) She's communicative, prompt, seems to love spending time with my pup, is kind -- all around, a total pleasure to work with. I'll definitely hire her again!”
“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”
About: Growing up, I was the main caretaker for my Shih Tzu for most of my childhood and teenage years until she passed at 13 a few years ago. I have cat sat for friends and now regularly care for my boyfriend’s two large English Labradors whom I love with my whole heart. I am currently a full time college student and a part time worker, however I have free weekends and tend to have free weekdays after 2 pm. I am a very attentive caretaker who loves to sit and spend quality time with your pet! I love going for walks, playing with toys, or sitting with them to keep them company. I plan to take care of your pet in exactly the same way that I would want mine taken care of.
“Veronica is THE BEST! She is a great communicator, is on-time, has great energy, and most importantly, my dog loves her. Can't say enough good things. Highly recommend for dog walking and pet care.”
“Bryan is great adapting to the needs of our two dogs. Bryan did a thorough meet and greet and our girls came home happy and ready to relax after each walk. Bryan is patient, calm, and so easy for humans and dogs to be around.”

Highly recommend Marielle to help walk your dog. She was very kind to help fill in for a walk last min for our dog Prescott. She was very sweet, patient and knowledgeable when meeting P. I felt at ease meeting her & knowing our dog would be in good hands. Thank you for the walk Marielle! Mike and I appreciate it so much.
Gage cared for our two small dogs while we were on vacation and did an excellent job. From the start, he communicated clearly, arrived on time for every walk, and he was very reliable. We’ll gladly book with him again whenever we need someone to look after our pups!
Carter’s been great with my dog, Nellie. She’s a senior with changing needs, and he always adapts to her energy level and what she needs that day. He’s consistently on time, keeps me updated after every walk, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.
After a meet and greet I asked Mariia to walk Dakota for me when I had to work late and I knew Dakota was in good hands! She is reliable and very communicative! She sent me multiple photos and kept me updated. Dakota was shy at first as she usually is, but Mariia gained her trust quickly and Dakota had a great walk while I was at work :)

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Manzanita. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
