Pet Sitting Sausalito

About: I started pet sitting by taking care of my friends’ cats and dogs whenever they travel. As a travel lover and a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can truly trust. I always want my own cats to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while I’m away, so I try to give my friends’ pets that same level of care and attention. I work mostly from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I can easily make time for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company throughout the day. Since I’m usually working on a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each pet’s usual routine and needs. I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box or regular potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of attention and company. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’m happy to give them cuddles or simply give them space—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!

“Laura was fantastic! I was very worried to leave my elderly cat while out of the country but she eased all of my concerns. Punctual, respectful, and intuitive to animals personal needs. She was also very resourceful recommending her vet in case of emergency since I am new to the area and making sure I left emergency contacts. She also checked on some things around the house for me which was awesome. Came home to a happy cat and happy home. Will use her more in the future for sure!”

“Miriam is simply the best!! We are thrilled to have such a conscientious, trustworthy and caring person to look after our Tildes! With great communication, both before and during our arrangement, Miriam is diligent, punctual and an absolute natural with our old gal! She loves dogs and is above and beyond responsible as both a dog walker and house minder. We would highly recommend Miriam to everyone! She is an excellent addition to the Rover list in Marin!”

About: I started my career in veterinary services at 16 by volunteering for a small, non-profit rescue in Los Angeles. Now, I work at an animal hospital in the city and pet-sit for a roster of clients. I specialize in senior animal care, but adore pets of all ages! Our animal hospital is closed from 12-2pm, so I take advantage of this break by attending to any pet-sitting/walking related care. I have odd days off as well, so I am flexible for day-to-day care. I use a trauma-informed, consent-based approach to any animal I interact with. My career involves working with animals who are at their most stressed state, which allows me to understand how to cultivate the absolute most comfortable experience.

About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.

“Gage was the perfect match for our new puppy Ash. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very comfortable with Ash. We’re lucky to have found him and will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you ? Ash is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”

About: Hi, I’m Amelia- a USF graduate and lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, from German Shepherds to hamsters, and even had the joy of fostering rescue dogs in need of extra care. Whether it’s dogs, cats, fish or small animals, I’ll make sure every pet in your household feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I have lots of time to devote to your fur-babies in the late afternoons and evenings on workdays for walks and house sittings. I am free most weekends for walks, boarding or house sitting as well. I treat your pets with love, and always make sure they’re having fun. For boarding or home stays, I play with them using their favorite toys, and take them on their appropriate walks or favorite activities. I make sure to exercise dogs before leaving the house, especially if it’s over a few hours. Additionally, if your dog has high energy, I am a runner and love to go on runs with them!

“Lauren took great care of our golden retriever puppy, thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I volunteered at an animal shelter for four years, caring for dogs and cats with various needs. I also have experience working at an animal clinic where I gained skills in handling emergencies and providing specialized care for puppies, kittens, and senior pets. With this background, I'm excited to offer exceptional and attentive care for your beloved pets. I schedule pet sitting and dog walking around my law school classes, ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they need while I balance my studies. For pet sitting, I provide personalized care in your home, ensuring your pets are comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. For dog walking, I take advantage of the best parks around the city, offering energetic and engaging walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I love staying active with pets and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

About: My animal care experience started with my first dog foster at 18. In the past 18 years I have worked as a zookeeper before transitioning to Veterinary Medicine. I was a kennel tech, then Veterinary Assistant before earning my Registered Veterinary Technician License. My skills include dog walking, cat socializing, administering medications (oral, transdermal, injectable), nail trimming and positive reinforcement. I also have experience performing health exams, giving vaccinations, surgery prep and monitoring anesthesia. Over the years I have been a reliable dog walker, cat and house sitter for friends and family, as needed. At home I have a senior black chihuahua and senior black cat. I understand the need for wanting your pets to have the best care while you’re away. I am here to help take care of that for you. I’m currently working as an RVT working 10-hour shifts. Outside of my day job, I plan to be there to provide dog walking, cat sitting and house sitting as my free time allows. In your home, I will provide the type of care that you request. Whether that is dropping in and feeding your animal or taking your dog for a nice, long, stimulating walk, I aim to make it comfortable and enjoyable for your pet.
