Cat Sitting in Muir Beach

“Caroline did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

About: I grew up with dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my adulthood including two mixed-breed rescues from Milo and a pure-bread yellow lab at 6 weeks. My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open and flexible aside from occasional travel. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs. My services include in-home visits (feedings, medications, playtime, companionship) and walks. I'm able to do a neighborhood walk or drive to a local trailhead for a hike.

“Andy was great, I highly recommend him! My dog Teddy took an immediate liking to him and looked happy and content in the photos and videos he sent. Andy followed my instructions and left my home neat and tidy. Communication was excellent before and during the visit.”

“I can’t recommend Anjali enough! She took amazing care of my cats while I was away, and I could tell right away that she truly love animals. She was reliable, communicative, and even got my more shy cat to fall in love with her. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Definitely my go to cat sitter from now on!”

About: I’ve always grown up with having a dog in the house, and was asked my family and friends to feed, walk, and play with their pets (mostly dogs and cats)! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have a bunch of free time on my hands to keep your pup company. Even if you need someone just to pop in for a few minutes or take a long walk I’m your gal. I’m always aware of my surroundings and make sure the pup can become comfortable with me when I meet them! I will also ask additional questions in case I need extra clarification

“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! So incredibly kind and professional. She was so accommodating of my schedule and did a fantastic job looking over my little guy. She’s a no brainer!!”

“Gracie was great with my girls for scheduled drop in visits while I was out of town! When one of my dogs had an IBS flare up Gracie was very communicative and showed great concern and care for her. Gracie’s updates definitely put me at ease knowing my girl wasn’t feeling too well.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I always walked my dog around San Francisco and around Larkspur when I moved. My neighbors constantly use me to walk their dogs or pet sit as well. I am currently working a 9-5 during the week. I would be available to walk dogs earlier in the morning or after 6. I am available full time on weekends. I have a fenced yard and one dog who is very kind with other dogs. I love taking care of pets and will love to walk/play with them.

About: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.

“Ellen was great! Very communicative, punctual, and professional. I appreciated her updates and photos of Obi from their walks!”

About: Hello there! I am a loving pet caregiver and house nurturer living in Marin. I enjoy taking care of animals and people's homes as if they were my very own, with love, respect and better than you left it. I enjoy doing yoga, restorative yoga and adventuring in nature in my spare time. I just finished my 600 hour massage license and 6 month Reiki energy training! My hope is that these intuitive and intentional skills will help assist in a loving and nurturing approach to your pets care needs. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your special fur-family member and home. Warmly, Adrienne I currently work at Good Earth in the Wellness Department and have early mornings, lunch (1pm) and evenings (after 5:30pm) open for feeding, walks and checkins! I currently care for pets overnight in their homes and do not offer boarding service at this time. You can rest assure that I provide a respectful and loving approach to all homes I take care of. 🏡 💛

“Ethan and Mariia were amazing taking care of my dog with separation anxiety. They kept me updated with photos and activities of what them and my dog did that day. They were very responsive and asked a lot of questions for taking care of my dog. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and care for all sizes and personalities! I offer walking, sitting, playtime, and can safely give medications. Whether your dog needs active exercise, calm companionship, or special care, I’ll treat them like one of my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. I'm available for pet sitting and care Wednesday through Saturday mornings, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to do early visits, medication administration, and check-ins during those morning hours. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule — I’ll do my best to accommodate! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, playtime, and any special needs — including administering medications or subcutaneous fluids. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog or cat wants quiet companionship or active play, I’m there to give them gentle, reliable care while you’re away.

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian, describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. NOTE: I only have experience providing meds to dogs, not cats. I’m allergic to cigarette smoke so that’s my only restriction. I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.

“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”

“We came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat! Thanks for covering on short notice!”

About: I grew up with 4 poodle mixes (maltipoo, cockapoo & other mixes) and was very involved in training them and cared for them as old as 15. I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages including puppies, senior dogs, and special dietary needs. My dogs are with my parents who moved overseas, so I miss having furry companions around. (If you’re wondering about the gap in reviews, I was traveling for several months but I’ve returned to Marin eager to resume dog sitting!) I work from home and have a job with great balance and flexibility that allows me to take walks and dedicate attention and TLC to your sweet doggo. My girlfriend Amanda lives with me, also works from home and loves dogs so there is plenty of love to go around! I live in a one bedroom condo with plenty of space and a fenced balcony. Your dog will stay with me primarily inside and we will play, go out for walks, and visit the local dog park if desired.
