“Ellen is very skilled at what she does. I think she’s the Dog Whisperer of Marin. My small dog Gracie never gets along with other dogs, but was somehow able to under Ellen’s watch. I highly recommend Ellen!”

“Awesome sitter! Super easy to work with, great communication, and sent photo updates. Scouty was in great hands and came home happy and tired (in the best way). Would highly recommend!”

“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”

About: I feel pets are an extension of our family. I commit to five simple things daily to show my babies my love and appreciation: I feed them good food and give them fresh water, take them for a ride in the car, go for walks, tell them I love them, and load them up with tons of XXX and OOOs. I will do the same for yours! I am available all week for over night stays. I have a flexible work schedule to accommodate my of my bookings. The more advance I have the more finagle room I have. I like dogs because they are easy to load into the car and leash up and walk. Crating your pet is always a viable option. Regardless of the size of a cat or dog, I prefer keeping them close by and engaged.
“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.”

“Thank you Bianca! Bianca took wonderful care of Kuma and we appreciate her excellent communication and flexibility. We would absolutely ask Bianca to dog sit again. Thank you!!”

“They were awesome! Every day they sent us updates on how our dog was doing, including photos and little bits and pieces about their day. As someone who is nervous about leaving their dog, this was super reassuring. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely rebook with them again!!”

“Giancomo was amazing! He was so kind and easy to coordinate with. He was a lifesaver and coordinated with us to have our furry loved one at our wedding. He picked her up from our rehearsal and then dropped her off the next day at the wedding so she could be in family photos and cocktail hour. Then he picked her up again! He was perfect. I highly recommend hiring Giancomo.”

“Megan was so great with our French Bulldog, Avocado for a long weekend! She treated her like a queen, lots of walks and play and attention. She has a great dog friendly home and neighborhood in a very convenient location in Marin. We loved getting periodic updates and videos of how she was doing. Highly recommenced Megan and would love to have Avocado stay with her again.”

“Rosa and Kevin were wonderful! They were super responsive, easy to communicate with and took such good care of our pups. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were traveling!”

“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!”

“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”

“We left our two Frenchies with Carolyn for 5 days and had an amazing experience. One of our dogs is a senior who needs daily medication and can be very particular with people—she’s honestly more like a cat! Carolyn understood all the instructions, gave her the medication every day without issues, and handled her personality with so much patience and care. She gave her space when she needed it, and by the end of the stay our dog was calmly resting on Carolyn’s lap. Both pups were well taken care of, and Carolyn kept us updated throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly caring and communicative. We’d definitely trust her again with our dogs!”

About: I'm the friend who everyone asks to take care of their dog (including senior dogs). I respect our pet friends—with play & cuddles—and their families trust, as well. I am an executive with a remote WFH job so I am at home with the dog every weekday and on weekends that I'm in town, I would love to help. Give me directions and I will follow them. I have a clean, safe home. I have access to popular dog parks/walks. I pay close attention to dietary restrictions, etc.
About: I'm passionate about animals and I've always had a furry friend throughout my life (I had a mutt, a labrador, a shih tzu, and a Belgian Malinois) and I have some experience with cats. I also believe strongly in giving back to the community, so I’ve been volunteering at Marin Humane Society. I’d be more than happy to help you take care of your pet and provide a safe and fun time for them. I have experience with animals of all ages, sizes, energy and I follow routines exactly as instructed, I’m happy to run with high energy dogs. I offer drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, boarding and in-home pet care. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know your furry friends are in good hands! I’m currently only working with one-time jobs, so I have lots of time to spend doing something that I love - taking care of pets, so I’m fully available. In my home, pets are treated like family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, and rest. I follow your pet’s usual routine, keep their area clean, and send photo updates so you can see how happy they are. Whether it’s for a night or a few days, your furry friend will be in caring hands. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to keep your furry friends happy and safe. I feed and water them, take dogs for walks, play with them, administer medications if needed, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I also provide companionship, attention, and reassurance while you’re away. I send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are well cared for.

Jessica has been so patient with my anxious dog, Daisy (and with Daisy's anxious person, me). We worked up to an overnight and it went well. I can tell Jessica really cares about dogs and makes sure they have a comfortable stay. We will be booking with her again and I won't hesitate to refer her to friends.

Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!
I love that Etienne and Emilie treated Tobi like he was a member of their family. They took him on hikes and to the beach - all things he loves. When Tobi was dropped off, he ran right into their house and he seemed happy and healthy when we picked him up. I would love for them to sit for Tobi again if they would accept him!

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!
