“Kathryn is wonderful. We have appreciated her good humor and patience during the long (but very worthwhile) process of our dog Hildy getting to know a new person. We look forward to working with her going forward.”
“I don’t really need to explain why Rachel deserves 5 stars, she just does. She was communicative every step of the way and SO patient with my problem puppy (who really just a little anxious). She sent pics and updates every day, came once without pay, and deserves 7/5 stars, let’s be real. She was never ever late, never ever skipped, and made it so easy being thousands of miles away from my babes!”
“Enlin was great! She was communicative, dependable, and friendly. She was very sweet with my dog and it seemed like they had a very fun time together. I would definitely use Enlin’s services again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been in the pet care field for nearly a decade and a pet parent for more than 12 years. My senior dog has taught me a lot about her care as she has aged. So I understand that it isn't just about the walk but about patience & companionship, too. I've also cared for feline friends at their homes while their families have been away. I have plenty of time for your dog or cat Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday for neighborhood walks, local outings, daycare or litter box and play. Where I live there is an enclosed deck with plenty of toys where we can play and take a daycare break together while you're running errands. There's also AC indoors when it's too hot outside. If a medicated pill or tablet is needed, we can give that with a pill pocket or other snack but I will not administer injected medications or fluids.
“Leyla is very patient with Hana, she spends lots of time during the meet and greet to warm up with her. She took good care for my cat during the visit, would definitely ask her to look after my cat again if needed.”
About: I love dogs (and cats)! I have walked dogs for family members, neighbors and friends for the past 15+ years. I would love to walk your dogs, play with your energetic pup and make sure they are having an amazing day! I can also stop by to feed and water them, or dog sit, and send you an update you about your dog’s or cat’s status after each visit :-). I’m currently very flexible with my schedule and can come walk your dog most days of the week, given at least a day’s notice, within a radius of 7 miles from San Rafael. I can walk dogs outside of your house or take care of dogs within your house. This includes refilling food, water, treats and playing with your dog. Happy to walk to a nearby dog park if that is available and that is something you regularly do with your dog!
About: Dogs and cats always have an affinity for me and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I promise to give the best care always. I can care for pets overnight or during the day. I am willing to be flexible and open to your needs and cater to your circumstances. Just ask me! I only use the best products for my kitten for food and litter. He eats all natural best rated foods and has an automatic litter that I change every two to three weeks. I love to cuddle and show him attention.
“Kristen was super sweet to my cats, very attentive, and the kitties love her too! Thank you so much!!”
About: Hi my name is Gina Dudley! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. Having these animals has informed me a lot about exercise needed and different styles of care. I have dog sat for many people in the past, including 3 summers of in home dog care, but this is my first time using the app! In summary, I am an animal lover looking to spend more time caring for them!! This will be my 3rd summer living at a home taking care of Bruno, a large mixed breed dog. I coach tennis sporadically throughout the day, several times a week. However, this is only in 1-2 hour time blocks, leaving me ample time to care for any furry friends. I typically start the day by feeding and giving the animals any medications then taking them on a walk. I make it a point to walk them at least 2-3 times every day and keep the house in a well-maintained environment free from anything that could impact the dog negatively. I am a huge animal lover and look forward to working with you guys :)
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was very young, I have been interested in the care and well-being of pets when their parents need help, I like to play with them, take them for a walk and pamper them a lot. I currently work part-time, when I have to stay at the owner's house I feed them and take them out very early before I go out to work and I'm back and I'm back for a walk we play food and then I go to study and I'm back and I'm going to take it out for a walk again. Always following the rules and rules of the house and taking great caution, they close doors and always leave everything in place for better experience

“Devon was very responsive before, during, and after visiting with my dog, Jackson. It was very reassuring to have her help while I was away.”
“Trisha was lovely to work with. Her professionalism and care for our cat exceeded all expectations! She went the extra mile and really connected with our little guy when we were out of town. She sent updates and photos every check in. We were so happy to have found Trisha and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful, kind and caring pet-sitter.”
“Kelly was so sweet with our cat; sent amazing, detailed updates; and was super flexible with updates to my instructions. We knew Sheila was in great hands!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I am a pet-assisted therapy researcher and truly believe in the mind and body benefits of caring for animals. The human - animal bond is very real and knowing my dog is being cared for by a responsible and caring individual while I am away is so important. Hence, I provide the same excellent care I expect of someone caring for Soley. I am a semi-retired university professor and I walk my dog every day on average 5 miles. I provide clean and caring pet services for family and friends. I have excellent references. I am a neat conscious and very clean person. I believe in providing my pets the same standard of cleanliness as I do myself and other guests. I am mindful of dogs interacting with other dogs and people when walking them. They are always on a leash.
“If you have any doubts about leaving your furry friend in the care of a home sitter, Marisa will put your anxieties to rest. She took great care of my good buddy Gus the Cat, hanging out with him, giving him treats, and sending daily images of the little guy. I simply could not be more pleased, or grateful.”
“Zoe was great. Took extra care to make sure our indoor outdoor cat was safe and not outside all night. Was a great experience”
“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”
“Leonard dropped in to check in our cat while we were away for the weekend. He was very communicative, provide photos and made sure to spend time playing with our girl :) he also helped out while we were away by bringing in packages and taking care of garbage day. We plan to use Leonard again for help with our pets!”

Lise M.
“I HIGHLY recommend Lise as not only a sitter for your animal child, but as someone who will truly give your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve! She has watched my dog Zora an abundant amount of times & each time I have had no worries at all because I knew she was in good hands. Zora would come back so happy & in great shape. Zora can be leash reactive towards other dogs when being walked, barking obnoxiously, pulling, and will tend to knip anything in your way including your own leg until she feels she is at a safe distance (but funny enough is fine with other dogs off leash or once she gets to smell them, but most people are rightfully too scared to let her do that 😅). Lise has paid extra attention to this and made sure Zora could be walked without incident. She also regularly would check in about anyways she could best Zora & even take pictures/send updates. I consider Lise to be highly compassionate, considerate, knowledgeable, and capable in her dog handling/care skills. She is always excited and intrigued to learn more in order to provide the best care. I would not pass her up as an option to support your pet family 🫶”
Carmelo B.
“Carmelo has been taking care of my lovely Piccolo for about a year and I could not be happier. I swear, my dog may love Carmelo more than myself. He treats my best friend with the love and care that he deserves. Carmelo shows up on time every time and takes care of whatever need Piccolo has. Melo is a great dog caregiver!”

Gina D.
“I can’t say enough good things about Gina! She has housesat for me and taken care of my two dogs multiple times over the past couple of years, and every time I come home, my pups are happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Gina is incredibly responsible, attentive, and has that natural “dog person” energy. What sets Gina apart is her genuine love for animals—she doesn’t just “watch” your pets, she bonds with them. She keeps me updated with cute photos and little notes about their day, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. My dogs absolutely adore her—and honestly, I think they’re a little disappointed when I come home! Gina is also super respectful of my home and always leaves it cleaner than she found it. She’s trustworthy, kind, and l dependable. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Gina is the one. I can’t recommend her enough!”
