About: I am highly experienced not only in pet sitting but in basic dog training as well. With 20 years experience in handling all dog breeds I am able to provide care for your pets specifics needs & demands. I am an attentive pet lover & will make sure your pet not only feels comfortable but safe during the time with me. I am able to administer medications as well. Your home will be treated just as well as your pet. I grew up with dogs since I can remember and have been helping my family with their dog business since I was 9 years old. I currently care for my own 3 well trained dogs, a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a malti-poo. Each of these dogs have their own characteristics that help me understand every pet has their own unique personality and demands. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available for all your pets needs any day, or night, including weekends. I would prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home & will treat your home as my own. I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.

“We left our frenchie puppy with Lori & Frank and couldn’t have been happier. After meeting Lori & Frank we knew he was in great hands. They are both so warm and caring and you can tell they love animals. They took amazing care of him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”


“Tom took great care of our pup, Bunker! He was very responsive and sent us updates and photos, which we loved! We could tell Bunker had a great stay when she started pulling in the direction of his neighborhood on our first walk back from our trip :-)”


“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”


“Larissa is great! Our dog had a small injury and couldnt go to the place we normally board her, Larissa was available on short notice to board her for a couple nights. She’s very confident with dogs, was communicative and sent picture updates, and our dog came back home nice and happy!”


“Had a last minute trip and was fortunate to find Morgan and Svet. They took my dog on some amazing adventures to the beach and hiking. Super accommodating and had a great yard to play in. He also got to make new buddy! Highly recommend!!”


“Mary and her husband Mark were such sweethearts and I felt so good having Enzo in their home. Mary was able to accommodate me on super short notice and was flexible with my drop off and pickup schedule. I got lots of pictures from their various walks and I would 100% use Mary again! Highly recommend!”


“Julie and Adam are perfect sitters! They were thoughtful, reliable, and great with my dog. He seemed very happy and comfortable with them. I’d definitely book with them again!”


“Andrea came through for me on a last-minute booking and was an absolute lifesaver. From the start, she was positive, easy to communicate with, and just a pleasure to deal with. My dog Cooper was so excited to be with her—he ran right to her and instantly felt at home. She took him hiking, which Cooper absolutely loved, and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, and her dog even shared her bed with Cooper. Andrea clearly cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”


“Jenna took fantastic care of my little epileptic dog while I was gone for a week. It can be nerve wracking to leave him because his medication schedule is complicated, but she was kind and communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing he was having a fabulous time with her. Thank you Jenna!”


About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

“Christopher took great care of my dog, Floyd, while I was away. I especially loved receiving the updates and photos of the fun adventures they were on!”


“Kosara is new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. She lives in a bright apartment directly behind the Mill Valley Pet Clinic which her mother ran for many years. I felt immediately at ease when we first met and knew Stewart would be in capable hands. I was updated daily with photos where he was clearly making himself at home. I’m so glad to have found a local boarder who I can trust. Thank you, Kosara!”

Nadya S.
“I am writing to you wholeheartedly recommending my friend Nadya as a excellent dog walker. I have known a couple of years and worked with at Veterinary Clinic, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand how reliable, caring, and responsible she is with animals. She is attentive to each dog’s needs—whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, keeping them safe around other dogs and people, or just giving them some extra love and attention. What sets Nadya apart is her genuine love for animals and strong sense of responsibility.”

These sitters are truly so wonderful. They take such good care of Nala and keep us updated with photos. We are beyond grateful to have found them!

Puppy came home super happy and more socialized with all the family and dogs Jake exposed him to- Thank you!

Karen, Markus, and their daughter Molly are the best. They are so sweet with Rocky and he loves staying with them. Thank you, thank you!!

Sue and her family saved us in a last minute jam when our usual sitter cancelled the day before our trip!.. they gave me regular updates, lots of adorable photos, the made Charlie feel like one of the family! I would certainly book with Sue again - they were wonderful! I knew Charlie was safe and well looked after so I could enjoy our time away! Thanks!

Super responsive- took our dog out on adventures, and made sure to give us pictures and updates as needed.

Alexandria and Ben are everything you’d hope for when it comes to entrusting someone with your beloved pet. They’re responsible, communicative, and above all, truly caring. They don’t just watch Iggy. They pay attention to her routines, quirks, moods, and needs. Iggy can be a handful, but they handle her with patience, humor, and real affection.

Bodhi had a great time at Jessica's! Communication and drop off went easy. I appreciated the updates and pics over the weekend. I'll definitely have him stay with her again. It was a great experience for him and peace of mind for me to know he was in a good home while I was gone.
