“During our hectic move, Alex was an absolute LIFESAVER with our dogs. They handled the chaos like a pro, keeping the dogs calm and entertained amidst all the commotion. Alex's attention to detail and genuine care made a stressful time so much easier and our furry family members. I couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind Alex provided during our move!”
8. Abigale R.
“Abby is a great dog sitter! She enjoys taking my dog for walks and gives her lots of love. She is always attentive to the needs of my cattle dog. We have also had Abby watch our dog for overnight sitting while we have been gone on long vacations. If my family isn't able to watch Gypsy, Abby is the first person I reach out to for dog walks and sitting. I always feel at peace when I know my dog , Gypsy, is in Abby's care. : )”

I will never hesitate to leave my fur babies under Natalia’s care, and I encourage you to do the same!”

14. Daniella M.
About: I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets! But I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I offer flexible hours and can adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or holidays, I’m dedicated to providing consistent and loving care. My focus is on ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for throughout the day:)! In both my home and my clients’ homes, safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owners and closely monitor the pets to ensure their well-being. I maintain a clean, organized space, and I’m always attentive to the pets’ needs, from regular feeding and exercise to plenty of love and attention:)

I have 2 dogs, one Australian Shepard named Blue and one Black Lab named Angel. I can take care of any dog large or small.

“Our dog Pippa loses her mind when Gina comes to the door! After one of their neighborhood walks or hikes, Pippa is exhausted and sleeps all night. Also Gina is completely trustworthy and reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate letting her walk your precious pups!”
19. Karla & Garrett O.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for almost 6 years. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, take care their pets. Most of the times I stayed (and husband) at the owners place so their pets feel more comfortable. Hello - my partner and I are both work in early childhood education. From now until the middle of August, I am working part time and will be busy scheduled for 9am - 2:30pm. My partner works from 8 am - 5pm. We don’t have pets or children so our weekends are open and flexible. Usually I care for pets at the owners place, me and my partner have been dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and housesitting at our friends or families. As I said before me and my partner (raised in Marin) have no children so is very easy for us to move from here to there.

I am able to go on long walks and free time to play with your furry friends! I work from home full-time so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to provide drop-in visits, long walks or whatever you may need for your furry pet. I follow what ever schedule the owner provides me with. Typically, I'm giving a list of the pets walk schedule, their feeding schedule, and any other requests.
