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.

Rachel is a dog whisperer. She has a calming demeanor and provides loving, safe, training and caregiving for dogs. Our rescue dog (Oliver) adores Rachel! Rachel is so giving and so attuned to both dogs and their parents. Rachel provides advice in a non-judgmental and caring manner so that all of our dogs feel safe, and are happy and well adjusted. I so very highly recommend Rachel for training, dog walking, and caregiving.

Andrew always is consistent and on time when he walks my three dogs. I trust him to provide loving and a safe time while walking my two big dogs and small dog around town. They always come back happy and well exercised. He provides pictures of them while they are out on walks with funny little comments.

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes, dogs most of all. I am able to take care of your dog with concierge-like attention, to their needs, activity level and interests. I also won’t ever walk your dog with more than one dog, and always solo if necessary, as this is not my primary source of income. I work from home and have flexible hours, and I am centrally located around Fairfax and San Anselmo, where there are plenty of pretty walks and or hikes. I have one dog who basically gets along with any dog he comes across, unless your dog is a bit grumpy, then we will walk him separately for sure. I don’t walk more than two dogs at once and they need to be at the same energy level as well as temperament.

Yaqueline was so amazing with our little cat Peanut!! She was super responsive and communicative throughout, and made us feel at ease that Peanut was well taken care of. Peanut can also be quite the dancer in the litterbox, but her space was nice and clean when we returned which was very nice. Would definitely recommend Yaqueline!!

We are so lucky that Thomas is our most trusted caregiver for our dog child, Sandy, and home sitter for our spot in Sebastopol, CA. After considering our long list of good friends, colleagues, cohorts and family, we always only ever call Thomas and honestly if he's not a available, we postpone our trip until his schedule opens up. He's really the only one we trust to exercise Sandy and provide the loving attention we would if we were home. He's also very attentive to plants, all types, and our chickens ~ which we were so grateful he knew how to manage. Thank You Thomas for being so exceptionally attentive and caring!

Pat was an incredible help for my family! Pat helped with drop in visits to take care of my cat while my husband and I were in the hospital to give birth to our baby! Pat was flexible and understanding of the schedule changes, and most importantly she gave us a peace of mind — her updates and pictures of my cat Risa showed clearly that even though we had to leave her for almost a week, she was doing great and I didn’t need to stress! All of that in an extremely bad heatwave — Pat made sure to turn on fans and bring Risa to a room with AC on. Pat also made sure to text both my husband and me on Rover, so we both could get the updates. She checked in on us too, which we appreciated! In the few days that Pat helped us we felt like we had a trustworthy and caring friend and that something that is so rare to find! Thank you, Pat!
