Dog Walking in Novato

“In our first meeting and walk Susannah was communicative, reliable, friendly, and clearly a true dog lover! My (reactive) pittie took to her immediately and they had a great walk together. I appreciated how carefully she listened to my instructions and asked about my dog's potential triggers. I look forward to using her services in the future.”

“Bing and Yifan are wonderful! They take such good care of my boy Gryffin. They are extremely trustworthy, thoughtful, and go out of their way to make sure Gryffin has a positive and fun experience during his walks. Bing and Yifan communicate with me how Gryffin did and ask questions about how to make their time with him enjoyable. Great dog walkers! I highly recommend Bing and Yifan.”

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a kid and my passion for their health and happiness is a great uplifting thing for me. I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, fish, reptiles and more throughout my life. Caring for animals is a passion, and I strive doing things I love. Which is why I want to do this, and also to help people. I’m great with time management, problem solving, and technology. I’m very responsible and careful when it involves taking care of someone’s animals and home. “Treat others how you wish to be treated.” Is what I strive by everyday. I’m a very flexible person and my availability changes every day. I appreciate you taking your time to read this. I look forward to meeting new people/pets and making great memories with this experience!

About: I've been a pet owner all my life, recently losing two senior pets. I often dogsit, catsit, and housesit for family and friends. I am responsible, responsive, and work well under pressure/ in emergency situations. I currently work in mental health but have also worked in retail, food prep, farming, and wildlife animal care. I'm a runner and love to include pets in my adventures :). I am starting a graduate program for psychology in September in Berkeley and have lots of availability until then! I typically am away on weekends so primarily I'd like to help out during the week :). I am very patient and will walk at whatever pace necessary to give your pet the best experience. I am also a runner and will run alongside your dog if that's preferred! I'm clean, and responsible and will always clean up after them!

About: I truly love animals! I am able to house sit, walk dogs, take care of your other animals, I have experience with all of that! I can give medicine, follow any guidelines. I use to take care of a black lab with diabetes and am able to test blood. I have also taken care of other animals such as cats who needed medicine as well. I currently work full time 9-6pm. I am able to tend to your pet before and after on my working days. My days off are Thursdays and Fridays. Taking care of my own pets is top priority as well as your pets. I walk my own dogs twice a day and I make sure they get plenty of exercise. I would love to incorporate your pets to my schedule.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and truly understands the joy—and responsibility—that comes with caring for them. Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to dog and cat sit for a variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic pups to mellow seniors and everything in between. I genuinely miss the dogs I grew up with, which is why this work is so meaningful to me. Spending quality time with pets, getting to know their quirks, and giving them the love and attention they deserve is something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s long walks, snuggle sessions, or just being a calming presence, I’m all in. I’m experienced with: • Administering medications • Handling overnight stays • Easing anxiety in nervous dogs • Providing regular and engaging walks Every pet is unique, and I always tailor my care to their individual needs. I’d love the chance to meet your furry family and give them the same care and love I would my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop 3–4 days a week, but I always have a break in the middle of the day, which gives me a perfect window to stop by, check in, give some love, and go for a quick walk if needed. Outside of that, I’m an actor, which means my schedule is very flexible — I can self-tape or work on auditions from anywhere, so I’m able to prioritize your pet’s care and needs without any problem. Whether it’s daily visits, overnights, or just some company during the day, I can easily make it work around my commitments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I take time to get to know their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide — whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys and walking routes. I keep things calm and consistent, especially for pets who may have anxiety or need a little extra reassurance. I always make sure they get plenty of playtime, cuddles (if they’re into that!), and regular walks or potty breaks. I’m also mindful of your home — keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. For overnight stays, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible, offering companionship throughout the evening and night so they don’t feel alone. I also like to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. I also have about a year of hands-on experience caring for other people’s dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and energy levels. At home, I have a Maltese that I absolutely adore, and I enjoy taking her on walks and spending quality time together. Being around dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to care for them and keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating dog walks and spending time with pets feels like a positive and consistent part of my routine I always look forward to! And because of my flexible schedule, I'm very happy to take last minute bookings! I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how I found them. My goal is for both the pet and the owner to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in reliable and caring hands. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space and never leave them unattended longer than requested.
