“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!!”
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.
“Emily was wonderful! We arranged a meeting in advance to give my dog a chance to see the space and place. Then Emily was flexible with timing as we firmed up plans. She took great care of Aubrey and her dog Gigi was a super pal for Aubrey.”
“Julie and Adam are truly dog lovers who helped our Mollie tremendously with her anxiety issues. Mollie is a rescue pup who takes time to warm up to new people and surroundings, but Julie and Adam did a great job making her comfortable and engaging Mollie in activities. Mollie is a half Husky so she does need lots of exercise and activity. We will be having Molly stay again with Julie and Adam as when we picked her up we could tell that Molly felt very much at 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.”
“Mary was a great sitter! She provided regular updates & pictures and took our pup on multiple walks throughout his weekend stay. Our dog tends to be more anxious and he seemed at ease in her care :) would highly recommend and we hope to use her services again soon!”
“Kevin was wonderful taking care of our dog Ranger for a long weekend. Easy to communicate with, sent updates while we were away and was not phased at all taking care of our 110 pound dog! Thank you so much!!”
“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!”
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.

“We were so lucky to have found Emma and Jackson!! They took such great care of Tucker while we were out of town for a friends wedding. It was our first time leaving Tucker at someone’s house and they were so accommodating of the times we were able to pick him up/drop him off. Potato and Tuck were fast friends and it seemed like he was sad to leave when we picked him up. I can’t rave about them enough, thank you guys!!!!”
“Radha took great care of our pup! She took her on lots of walks and made sure she had ample playtime in Radha’s large backyard with lots of grass for frolicking. She gave her plenty of love and cuddles, and our dog really seemed to enjoy her time there. Radha sent photos and videos regularly, which we really enjoyed while we were away. Highly recommend.”

Taylor had an amazing 2 and a half weeks with Jake. And she was so happy staying him and his daughter. He sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the vacation and she had a great time visiting dog parks, playing with other dogs and lots of activity! Can’t say enough good things about the care he provides. So glad we found him, can’t wait to book another visit!
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!
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.
