Dog Walkers in San Geronimo, CA

“We ABSOLUTELY recommend Emily!! She was communicative, dependable, and gave our Luna such great care! She was consistent, kind, and helped our 1yr old dog, who can be a handful, gain confidence and build on her manners while walking on leash. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was getting great care while I was away! Thank you!”

About: Animals have always been an immovable part of my life. I grew up on a small goat farm in northern california surrounded by llamas, ducks, geese, 3 beautiful cats, 6 dogs, and of course, goats. Through life on a farm, I have developed an immense love of all creatures, furred, feathered, and scaled. I have also had lots of experience caring for sick and injured animals. I have volunteered with both wild animals rescues, and the humane society. I'm currently in school, so my schedule allows me time in both the mornings and evenings to spend time with your wonderful pets. My weekends are also free. House sitting is my specialty as I do not have too many pet responsibilities at home, giving me more time at yours! I’ve grown up around big dogs, old dogs and cats, and special needs animals, so i’m used to an array of care requirements. I love to walk dogs and cats, as well as visit the dog park as many times as they ask. Safety is number one while you’re out of town, so I will follow your guidelines/routine like the script for my big-break broadway audition. Please feel more than free to message me with questions prior to booking. Photo updates are also included in my services :)

“Kathryn is great, she walks Max the way I asked her to and Max is always super happy to see her. He’s high energy so it’s a challenge. Much appreciated!”

“Janaki did a great job for us . She arrived on time and was able to make friends with our dog that has a bad tendency to over react when greeting newcomers, but Janaki was able to handle this well. We liked her photos on the walk especially charmed with phot of her holding two bags of poop.”

“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 !”

“Great first walk for Maddie! She can be a little particular about who she walks with. She had no qualms whatsoever about Lydia and couldn’t wait to walk with her!”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Chris is so great! Friendly, responsible and very professional. He is so sweet with our dog and takes her on wonderful walks. She comes back super happy and super tired.”

About: I have two dogs and live with my husband in the Outer Richmond. Our pups are super friendly, good walkers, listeners, and have lots of energy. I work as a freelancer from home so have lots of free time and can rearrange my schedule as needed. I love long walks myself so would love for your dog to join along! I have two large dogs of my own and would treat your dog as I treat mine. Lots of love, pets, treats (if permitted) will come their way! I enjoy long walks and exploring neighborhood and would love to take your dog along with me.

About: Does your furbaby need extra love and special attention while you are away? I am happy to help care for your furbabies with lots of love, adventures, and yes even training. I can ease both you and your furbaby’s anxiety by staying with them in their home and checking in with you regularly with photos and videos. Boarding your furbaby elsewhere is very stressful for them, especially considering the limited amount of care and physical activity. I will give them all the love and attention that they need and take them on adventures around the neighborhood (with your permission); it really helps to refocus and calm them down. Let's make sure your furbabies are as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away. I also provide basic training and understand common behavioral issues such as reactivity and separation anxiety. I love working with puppies, helping to socialize them and teach recall is critical at a young age. Be sure to tell me all about your pet's quirks and needs so that I can help. I have over 10 years of professional pet-care experience, plus I have cared for many types of animals. I took some time off from petsitting when I took on the full-time responsibility of caring for an elder dog. Our family’s Siberian Husky, Skye, was truly the best companion and adventure buddy. She lived a happy, active life for 16 years! She is dearly missed and will furever be with me in spirit. Now I am getting back into professional pet-care and I look forward to making many new friends, caring for your furbabies as tho they were my own. I work mostly remotely from home so I have the ability to stay with your furbaby in their home and give them the attention they need. When I am housesitting, I am also taking care of your home. I'll bring in the mail and water the plants. I always clean-up after myself and your pets before I leave so that you can come back home to a clean and comfy space. Just let me know whatever lil things you need help with while you're away. Happy to help!

About: I have always watched dogs and pet sat for people in my neighborhood, as well as for friends whenever they went out of town. I truly love both big and small dogs, and I enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I am currently a college student and student-athlete who recently went through a very intense surgery. As part of my recovery, I am focusing on walking more because it has been great physical therapy for rebuilding my strength and mobility. Dog walking and pet sitting feels like the perfect fit for me right now because it allows me to stay active, continue healing, and do something I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets gives me a meaningful way to work while staying on track with my rehabilitation. I am dependable, caring, and would treat your pets like they are my own. I nanny during the week days from 3-6 and outside of that I am pretty free. I am in San Rafael most days bc I go to school out here. However my home is in Benicia and I am out there sometimes. . I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your animals and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I would treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the utmost care and respect. I will mainly do dog walking and dog sitting. But I also love cats and other animals.

“Amber is wonderful! Moosey loves her, she is very reliable, and I feel totally comfortable having her go to my house while I’m at work. Highly recommend.”
