About: 💫 Enriching Experiences for your Fur Babies! ⛰️ Day Walking Trail Adventures 🤸‍♂️ Stimulating Play and Training 💕Loving Care and Companionship My partner, Carly, and I love dogs and dogs love us! We have an Australian-Shepherd who such a bundle of joy, energy, and excitement, always eager to make new experiences, new pet friends, and new human-bonds! I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always had at least 2-3 dogs at-home, at all times. These dogs have either stayed for just the day, overnight, or have boarded with me, the longest-boarding being 2-3 months with a German-Shepherd rescue, and we always have a blast. We always seek to find a routine so as to calm any boredom or stress throughout each day! We play, take walks, hang out in the grass yard / property, and go on 1-3 miles hikes in the local area! I love to spoil every dog I have the pleasure to be around, take scenic walks, and of course taking lots and lots of pictures. Daytime Adventures: Available most weeks days (7am-4pm, pickup or drop off) to take your pup on a hike, play yard games, and practice new skills. Sitting and Boarding: Kainoa and Carly are available for night and weekend sitting or longer-term boarding with 1 week advance notice. We live on a large property with a fenced-in yard, lush green-pasture for playtime, and complete with a shaded (puppy-proof) deck! I have no problem with crate-training, my goal is to give your pet what they need to be settled, calm, happy, curious, and playful… and then to give them lots of love and cuddles and kisses!

“Christina and her husband were so great to work with! We really appreciated their amazing communication from the moment we requested to book. We also loved how they sent cute photos and videos of our dog so we knew he was having an amazing time! They took excellent care of him and made sure he got plenty of potty breaks. Our dog also got along really well with their dog, which helped him to be less stressed during his stay. We really appreciate Christina's help, and would be happy to book with her again!”

“Archie had so much fun staying with Stephanie (and Tank) that he would start wagging his tail when we pull up to the house and bolts inside as soon as the door opens!! She is caring, reliable, and sends great updates/pics through out the day :) 10/10 recommend”

“Staying with Noey is like the best day at dog camp, ever. She’s the friendliest dog lover who truly enjoys hosting play dates with her own two beautiful little furry guys. 5 stars for Noey. Best Rover In The Bay Area!”

“Nadya was so kind and took great care of our puppy, sending photos and videos throughout his stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we’re in town and need someone to take care of Appa for the day! Thank you, Nadya!”

“So glad we met Edward! He took great care of our labradoodle, who can get very bad separation anxiety when we're away. I liked how Edward was thoughtful about bringing his dog outside to introduce her to our dog, and took them for a walk together right away so they could get to know each other. Edward's dog was very sweet and well behaved, and got along great with our dog. We are so thankful for Edward's help!”

About: Hi! I'm Rafi, your local dog nanny. I'm a full-time commuter student at SFSU and a lifelong dog lover looking to help families all over the bay for their pups! I grew up around labs and now have three rescue dogs of my own—a German Shepherd/Lab mix, a Pitbull/Catahoula, and a little Chihuahua mix. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I've been dog walking and pet sitting for family friends since 2018, but things really picked up during COVID when I was recommended to more and more people. Since then, I've practically been a full-time dog nanny! Most recently, I worked with an amazing local dog walking company based in Marin, but with school starting again, I have decided to branch off and find my own clients. I am willing to drive all over the bay area; my school schedule is flexible and I can easily work around it to be able to care for your pets. Whether your dog needs walks, check-ins, long outings, or overnight stays, I'm here for it all. I don’t just “watch” dogs; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I can also provide references upon request! Hoping to meet you and your pup(s) soon! I would be with your pups around the clock! Most of my classes are online or flexible with my schedule, so I can provide as many walks needed and will be around all day for potty breaks. For past owners, I have been grateful that they trust me to take their pups on beach days so I always try to get at least 1 trip in during my time with them. I treat every dog as if they’re my own; all dogs will be pampered with love, won’t leave my sight, and will make sure they are safe 24/7. If you have any routines or specific needs for your dogs, i will make sure they are followed.

“I dropped my dogs off with Nancy for an afternoon of running errands and she lavished attention and affection on them and took them for 2 walks. We all were happy!”

“Hir and Mitchell were absolutely wonderful with Sheba! From the moment I arrived, they greeted me outside, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving her in their care. It was clear right away that they are true animal lovers. They took Sheba on a walk right away and kept in great communication with me throughout the time she was with them, which I really appreciated. Everything felt easy—from finding their place to coordinating drop-off and pick-up. I’m so grateful to have found them. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, and always loved animals. I just lost my dog Jessie, and love to spend more time with other dogs. I’m home a lot and love to take care of other dogs. Weekends I’m home, and have time to take dogs to the park for play or a long hike. I’m home also after 4:30 pm most days. I’m a school teacher and have summers off. I’ll be home full time from June 14 through August 12. I live in Marin in a condo which has a balcony, close to great trails, and in a wonderful and quiet Neighborhood. Love to spend time in nature.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.
