“Chris is the most wonderful and intuitive dog walker. He pays close attention to what our dog needs each day and is communicative about her behaviors each day.

I'm also very active myself so I can also take your pup on a fast-paced walk or run to get their energy out! Very flexible schedule with lots of availability during weekdays or weekends ! Open to repeat visits as needed. I work part-time / at home providing me an versatile schedule for whatever timing works for you and your pup.

“Samuel was incredibly easy to communicate with and was able to help with a very last minute request to watch our dog Steve! He took very good care of him, sent lots of photos and went over and above to make sure that he got the exercise and attention that he needed! Thank you Samuel!”
About: With years of experience caring for neighbors' and family friends' pets, I’ve become a trusted pet sitter for both weekend stays and extended vacations. Whether it's keeping pets company during a short weekend away or ensuring they're well-loved during long trips, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m a student taking remote classes, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care.

Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm available to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. I make sure that the space is pet-proofed, free of hazards, and stocked with everything your pet might need—from toys to treats.

Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and to me, dogs are so much more than pets- they’re family. My own dog, Murphy, is truly a beloved member of my family, and I understand how much dogs mean to us. For 30+ years, I’ve had the joy of caring for the dogs of friends and family. I’m loving, patient, dependable, and attentive, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I give Murphy. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have plenty of time to look after and play with your pet! I pride myself in being a wonderful companion to your pet. I will always assess every opportunity to ensure or do whatever it takes to make your pet feel safe. I have an incredible attention to detail
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️
About: I’ve spent more than 35 years caring for cats and dogs, including two German Shepherds, four Shelties, and my current cat—who adopted me after I found her asleep on my bed one day and she simply never left! I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Some cats want affection and playtime, while others feel safest hiding, and I always respect their boundaries while making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and a comfortable environment. I’m equally at ease with dogs: I’ve trained dogs to sit, stay, lie down, and heel; I’m patient with teething, rambunctious puppies; and I love taking older dogs on relaxed walks where they can sniff and enjoy the world. What sets me apart is my experience, attentiveness, and genuine affection for animals—I take the time to understand what makes each pet feel happy, secure, and cared for. I’m self-employed and have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can often accommodate changes or special scheduling needs. At this point in my life, spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I appreciate having the flexibility to give each pet attentive, unhurried care. Since I have a cat who rules my home I'm not able to care for dogs or other cats where I live. I'm happy to come to you.
About: I co-owned two dogs with my neighbor as a child. My jobs was to walk and feed them. The first was a Saint Bernard who "decided" he wanted more space and fresh air and moved to the country. Later came a Golden lab. Then, we had milking goats, chickens, emus and rabbits... I have 2 cats I love dearly. They love walking around the yard showing me their favorite finds; usually it's a whole of some kind. I walk a lot on my own a Marin and can talk your furry well-behaved pet around your neighborhood and beyond. I am very dependable, always on time (unless major accident happens) and love all furry friends like my own pets. Available most days and/or week-ends between 8 AM and 9 PM for in home visits or dog or cat walking. Some cats like to go on walks too! Safety and the good physical and emotional health of your pet(s) are my priority. I will follow your health guidelines carefully and provide clean water upon each visit.
“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”
About: Hi, I'm Nick, a Kentfield local who's home for the next few months and looking to spend them outside with dogs. My dog's name is Holly (short for Hollywood - we've named all of our dogs after Top Gun characters ((don't ask)) and I look forward to hiking and walking her every day! Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who needs to burn off steam or a mellow senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block, I'll tailor each walk to their pace and personality. I'll keep to your dog's routine, follow your instructions, and send you an update after every walk so you know how it went. For five years I worked at a camp as a counselor and lifeguard, which means I'm used to staying attentive, responsible, and calm while looking after others. When I'm not walking dogs, you can usually find me playing guitar or getting out on the trails around Marin! I'm currently looking for full time positions in New York City, but am back home until I find something. That also means I'm more than happy to hang around at all hours of the day! I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert on every walk. For overnights, I follow your dog's routine, keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular updates. My camp counselor and lifeguard background keeps me calm and responsible.
About: My mother raised me alongside a puppy in an area dense with wildlife. Along with our growing dog, we often had rodents, birds, or stray cats to take care of. In high school I took care of mice, and owned two sets of rats. The dog I was raised with passed at age 20, and I am experienced in taking care of senior pup needs. I'm currently working part time, and my ideal days to hang out with your pets are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be the case until college starts again in the fall. I have a fenced in home as well as lots of access to pet supplies. I love all parts of animal care, whether it be active play or just snuggling on the couch. Having a senior dog, I am also experienced in handling minor medical situations.

Jesse's the absolute best dog walker! My Australian Shepherd Wonder loves him. In the past wonder has been reactive towards guys, but he loves Jesse and looks forward to weekly walks and occasional overnight boarding on the weekends. Jesse's super flexible and a great communicator, highly recommend him for your pup. Jesse tends to have a bunch of doggies around, so if your dog is social like mine, they'll make lots of new friends and have a blast hiking around Marin
Ariela was great on her walk with Grady! I needed a very last minute walk and she responded quickly and was even able to come over and do a meet and greet before the walk the next day. I felt very comfortable having her walk Grady—he can be a lot and she was very capable. I’ll definitely have her visit for future walks!
David is AMAZING!! When my husband and I met David with our pups we knew immediately that he has a special ability to connect with animals (and humans). We have a rescue dog that is fearful of new people and is aggressive toward other dogs on walks. She took to David within seconds and he was able to calm and redirect her when a dog approached us. We were so relived because we were going out of the country for 2 weeks and our regular sitter wasn't doing home sits anymore. We scheduled a few walks with David and realized we no longer had to worry while we were away. We are continuing to schedule walks with him and our dogs are beyond excited when we tell them he is coming. Additionally, David is a calm, gentle, and kind and just a great person. We are so thankful we found him.
Jackson is great with my dogs. I have one rescue who is very nervous with new people and strangers, particularly men. She warmed up to Jackson quickly as he knew to give her space and not engaged with her until she was more comfortable with his presence. Jackson is really great to work with. He’s responsive and responsible. I look forward to working with Jackson more times..
