Pet care experience
⭐️ Best in Marin ⭐️
Leaving your pet with a stranger can be scary. Finding the right sitter isn’t just about your furry friend’s comfort, it’s about yours too. I’m an insured and experienced pet sitter and dog walker committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted in my care. Whether it’s providing photo updates for pet parents, a neighborhood jog to get those zoomies out, or just being a calming presence for shy dogs and cats, I strive to make sure you and your pet are both happy with my service.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
During our first few days together, I often give pets extra attention and exercise— especially if I notice signs of separation anxiety. Dogs and cats are excellent communicators! I do my very best to pay attention to their cues so that I can help them feel more at ease while their humans are away.
Ratings and reviews
Jodi is *amazing* - absolutely wonderful person, highly professional, and our senior cat was SO content when we returned. He was cared for so well- If you have the opportunity to work with Jodi, do it in a heartbeat.
We appreciated Jodi’s desire to learn about Cy prior to her stay with him. She kept us informed with notes and pics each day. We found our home as we left it and came home to a happy, happy dog. We would have Jodi back again and recommend her to others.
Jodi was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog, Bocce, was comfortable and well cared for. Before our trip, she even came over to meet him so he’d know her. Jodi took the time to understand who he is and what he needs, which meant a lot since he’s a young, high-energy Rottweiler mix. She has a deep understanding of dogs, their behavior, and training. While we were away, she checked in regularly with updates and pictures that showed how happy and relaxed he was. Her genuine care and attentiveness gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry, knowing Bocce was being cared for as if he were her own. We highly recommend Jodi!

Jodi was absolutely amazing with our dog, Maggie! From the moment we met her, we could tell she was both professional and genuinely caring. She kept us updated with thoughtful communication and photos, which gave us total peace of mind knowing Maggie was in the best hands. Maggie clearly felt comfortable and loved, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. On top of that, Jodi left our home spotless — neat and clean as if she’d never been there. We so appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the way she went above and beyond. We would trust her with Maggie anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.
Jodi is very conscientious- spent time to carefully go over our dogs routine - she is knowledgeable about pet care and dog behavior. Our pups liked her right away and we felt comfortable leaving them in her care.
This was the first time we'd ever hired a pet/house-sitter for an extended vacation and I don't know if we'll ever go back to double-boarding our cat and dog. We scored the jackpot with Jodi! From the very first meet and greet with Jodi, I felt all the warm and fuzzy vibes you want when you're thinking of leaving pets behind in anyone's care. She sent us a detailed questionnaire so she could be in tune with all the pet routines. And she arrived as promised the day we flew out and left shortly before we got home and the house was cleaner than when we'd left it! We could tell the pets had been really loved and cared for. They were totally at ease and not stressed (the opposite of how they are after boarding at outside facilities). Jodi also sent the perfect amount of updates. Some of them were so funny (she had our pets' numbers from the get go) that I read them to my young kiddos who also got a kick out of them. Our cat is very feisty and she gave him the space he needed to adjust, which was super kind and thoughtful. She also dealt with a surprise visit from our landlords like a champ! We cannot say enough good things about Jodi and we would absolutely want her to be our vacation pet whisperer again!!! Thank you Jodi! And our pets say meow and woof, too!!!

Schedule
I’m a freelance writer who works remotely. My flexible schedule allows me plenty of time for pet sitting and dog walking. I’m also an avid hiker who is always up for taking your pet on a leashed romp through the neighborhood or on nearby trails.
