About: What sets me apart: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of skill, patience, and genuine love for animals. As a co-founder of an animal rescue, I’ve cared for pets in every situation imaginable — from scared pups fresh off the streets to lively, energetic dogs, shy souls needing time to trust, and sweet seniors requiring extra TLC. Special skills & experience: 🐾 Puppies & Kittens: From playful pups to bottle-feeding kittens, I’ve nurtured countless young animals, guiding them through important early milestones. 🐕 Senior Care: My current specialty is caring for senior dogs, including support for mobility or sensory challenges, gentler activities, and administering medication for age-related needs. ❤️ Medical Needs: I have extensive experience helping pets through surgeries and recovery, ensuring meds are given properly and comfort, plus recovery, is always top priority. 🌟 Behavior & Temperament: Years in rescue taught me how to patiently build trust with nervous or unsure pets, introducing them safely to new environments and other animals. Your pet’s happiness, health, and comfort are truly my passion. Whether you have a bouncing puppy, a mellow older friend, or a special-needs companion, I’ll tailor my visits and walks to their unique needs — always with kindness and care. I'm currently working or going to school part-time (depending on the season), so I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s).

About: My family has always had dogs and growing up they were my main responsibility. I also have professionally dog-sat and walked for the past 4 years. I am currently a full time student but I have a very flexible schedule and am available in the mornings before 11am and most evenings to dog walk. I can play with your pup wherever you feel most comfortable whether that be in your home or at a nearby park we can make anything work!

About: I have been house and pet sitting for over 10 years from young puppies to senior cats. I mainly do it for extra income and for family, friends and referrals. I love learning about your pet's personality and quirks! I am currently in-between jobs so I have extreme flexibility. I often take dogs for walks while their owners are at work. I love going for hikes and to the beach. However, I always tailor my services to the owner and pet’s preference. I often both pet and housesit when owners will be out of town. My flexibility, kindness, cleanliness and communicative nature has built trust with my clients over the years. I respect house rules and make your pet the priority. I know your home is your safe space, and that’s why before I leave your home I make sure everything is exactly how you left it so that you can come home and immediately relax. I’ve been told by clients things like “our home is cleaner than how we left it” and “it doesn’t even seem like you lived here for a day, let alone 2 weeks!”

About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats for roughly 7 years! Many neighbors, friends, and family members have called upon me in moments where they need a dog/house sitter. I am responsible, honest, caring, and most importantly, a huge animal lover!! I just graduated from CAL POLY SLO and am waiting for my job with Clark construction to start in December. So I currently have lots and lots of free time to be allocating to your pets! The most important thing is to make sure that the animal is safe and comfortable in their environment. Typically, I would keep the dog in his/her home because of this. Some dogs get anxiety and I feel bringing them to a new place can really stir things up. I typically will spend the first day really getting to know the animal. I do this by taking it for walks, playing fetch, tug of war… etc.

About: I am and have always been an extremely passionate animal lover! I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats in my home who are my pride and joy and my best friends! I am able to provide senior care as well as care for young puppies! Im currently a student at College of Marin so i have a pretty open availability and am able to spend most of my time caring for your animals! Please let me know what I can do to give your pet the best time and I will make sure to make it happen! ex. eating/sleeping schedule, house rules, ect.

About: I wanted to be a vet... I had many dogs and cats over the years, in different countries - I love animals, their unconditional love and communicative silence (or not, right Warren!) I very much would like a pet again but where I live pets are not allowed, so I get my treat by enjoying your pet! I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I like taking a walk in the morning after feeding, usually a longer adventure of 1-2 hrs, maybe to the beach! Then another, shorter walk in the late afternoon before feeding, if there is a 2nd meal. And of course going for a quick round before bed. I'm always attentive to the body-language/need of an indoor pet, watching the signs they may want to go out. I request vet and safety information from the owner, including dietary restrictions, and will stick to the animal's routine of feed time and walk. Less stress is better!

About: I have taken care of my dog and dog sat for friends and their dogs since I was 12 years old. I love dogs and see definitely agree that they are mama best friend. I am currently working part time so I will have a good amount of time to play with your pups!

“Gabby has pet sat for me and my family countless times. Each time I have come back to a happy and healthy pup.
