About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.
“My dog has never been happier or more comfortable and safe while boarding! She got along perfectly with their dog and family and came back relaxed (and worn out!) Regular photos and updates gave me peace of mind while traveling for the first time since I’ve had her.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and Jake made this a very easy experience for me due to nerves of leaving my pup for the first time ever. Jake overall is a great sitter he sent me pictures thur out the evening and in the morning and in such a short notice he was quick with communication and overall an amazing sitter will be back soon ! Thank you”
“We left our frenchie puppy with Lori & Frank and couldn’t have been happier. After meeting Lori & Frank we knew he was in great hands. They are both so warm and caring and you can tell they love animals. They took amazing care of him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Kevin was wonderful taking care of our dog Ranger for a long weekend. Easy to communicate with, sent updates while we were away and was not phased at all taking care of our 110 pound dog! Thank you so much!!”

“Kosara is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. She lives in a bright apartment directly behind the Mill Valley Pet Clinic which her mother ran for many years. I felt immediately at ease when we first met and knew Stewart would be in capable hands. I was updated daily with photos where he was clearly making himself at home. I’m so glad to have found a local boarder who I can trust. Thank you, Kosara!”
“I have been leaving my 4 month old puppy with Dennis and Scout for daycare while I'm at work. She just loves it there, and is so happy to go, and so tired when she comes home. Dennis is a kind, skilled dog handler, and Scout is the "Camp Counselor" of dogs. Just a great place for my Izzy:)”
“Elena and Holly were excellent sitters for my chihuahua mix Toaster. They were very communicative, responsible and Toaster was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I will definitely use them again!”
“Heather took fantastic care of my dog when I was on vacation for a week. Great communication, always got back to me right away. I had made a mistake and didn't pack enough food for my dog, and Heather was able to track down a bag of the prescription dog food (not available in regular pet stores), so he didn't have to switch foods. With Heather, your pet will be in great hands!”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“Tom took great care of our pup, Bunker! He was very responsive and sent us updates and photos, which we loved! We could tell Bunker had a great stay when she started pulling in the direction of his neighborhood on our first walk back from our trip :-)”
“Derek and Stella were communicative and super easy to coordinate with. They took great care of my pup and I’d happily book with them again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.
“Ariella did a fantastic job of bringing my super anxious dog out of her shell on that first visit. Ever since, my Sadie is excited and happy when I drop her off. Would like to add an additional gold star for the lovely long walks she was taken on. Nice clean fenced in yard.”
“Martha was so wonderful with Maica. She understood my rescue dog’s unique mannerisms and tended to them lovingly. She was communicative, kind, and easy to work with. So appreciative of her care!”
“Charley had the BEST time at Camp Christopher! Receiving daily photos of a smiling, happy pup out for daily hikes/walks and playing with her new pal Lincoln, made my own vacation that much more enjoyable knowing Charley was in such great hands! Thanks again Christopher!”

“Giacomo cared for my dog when I had an unexpected trip come up, he was able to help out on a short notice which was amazing. He took my dog on long walks and even sent me some photo updates of her .

Scott O.
“My Lucy loves Scott and gets so excited when she sees him! He loves her too, and has treated her like family from day one. Scott is not just someone who is going to “check-in” on your fur kid. You can see that he genuinely cares. He will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy, safe and well cared for…whether out for a walk or just hanging out. I would not hesitate in recommending Scott to anyone who is looking for a caring, responsible and reliable pet caregiver and friend. Lucy is so lucky to have Scott as her “back-up” bestie!”
