Just your dog and ours!
Pet care experience
*we are unable to accommodate dogs larger than 35 lbs.* We understand that your dog is part of your family, and we promise to make them part of ours! At our Marin Doggie Getaway, we guarantee only one dog at a time! This means you can vacation easy knowing that your dog won't be in a crowded, stressful atmosphere while you're gone! Your dog will get constant one-on-one attention and daily adventures into the hills and beaches of Marin. As a long time animal lover, and a previous veterinary technician, I have dedicated most of my life to the care and well being of animals! At our doggie hotel (a quiet home in San Rafael with a fenced in yard) we promise a daily hike and/or beach outing, and always a place to sleep in our king size bed! We recently adopted our exuberant and happy dog Olive, who absolutely loves being a host! We strive for both a fun AND a stress free environment for your dog. Because of this, and for everyone's sanity, we only accept 1 dog at a time. Exceptions to this are two dogs from the same household (both must be under ~30 lbs) Our History: At our Marin Getaway, safety is our #1 priority. I completed my undergrad in pre-veterinary Animal Science, and then gained valuable experience as a vet tech for four years. I recently decided to move forward with a career in human medicine, but my love for animals will always remain dear to my heart! Wes and I make a great team and promise to provide your dog with lots of love while you're gone. Both of us grew up with dogs, and have spent countless hours volunteering at animal shelters and fostering puppies. Our dog Olive: Olive is a young and happy dog. She loves to play and have fun, and is good at reading other dogs. Our Yard and House: There is a fenced and terraced backyard; we like to hang outside and relax in the sun. Our home is one level so there are no stairs! Medications: I was a vet tech for four years so I am able to administer any oral medication and/or any injectable medications.
Reviews
Julie and Wes were great as was their dog Oliver. Our dog was treated to lots of hikes in the hills and play time and we got frequent photo updates throughout the stay. We hope to use them again!!
As usual Milou had the time of his life with Olive and Julie was so kind and accommodating! I never worry for a second when I drop him off at Julie's:)
Julie is fabulous! Smart, caring, conscientious, flexible, highly responsive. I could not have been more pleased with how attentive she was to Annie's needs nor with the charming photos she thoughtfully sent at intervals so I could see for myself how much Annie was enjoying her stay. Julie's supporting cast --- her husband and their sweet dog Olive --- are equally endearing. The three of them together provided such a warm and welcoming environment for Annie. She was one contented little dog at the end of her stay and obviously in no hurry to leave. My only regret is that I live out of state so won't be able to use Julie's weekend services more often. Highly recommended: 8 stars out of 5. Thank you, Julie, Wes, and Olive!
I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a sitter. My dog Cali had the best stay with her, I could tell she had a great time and bonus for me Cali came back tired from all the fun activities Julie had in store for her. Can't say enough nice things and look forward to having her puppy sit again in the near future. Nice to know my pup is in great hands.

For the active dog: We offer daily hikes around Marin and/or trips to the beach. We promise a tired, and very happy pooch when you return! If your dog is less active, we can accommodate that as well. :) Your dog can sleep wherever they are most comfortable; my bed, his/her dog bed, couch. We're not picky.
