Doggy Day Care in Stinson Beach

“Paul and Mimi took really good care of Baxter. Paul really loves dogs and was gentle and caring. It also seemed like he had a good time from all the photos, and seemed entertained the whole time.”

“Larissa was great - easy to coordinate with, professional, and most importantly our dog was excited to see her every morning drop off and had big smiles at the end of the day.”

“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”

“It was great to see my dog eagerly jump out of car and run to greet Adriana! Their fenced yard was perfect, and they are very caring day care providers. I highly recommend Adriana and Derek.”

“Lori and Frank were incredibly warm to me and my dog! They welcomed him with open arms and gave him so much love - I was able to happily be without him knowing he was in great hands with Lori and Frank. They loved his idiosyncrasies and did everything they could to make my dog comfy - he can’t wait to go back and I will definitely use Lori and Frank regularly!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, and always loved animals. I just lost my dog Jessie, and love to spend more time with other dogs. I’m home a lot and love to take care of other dogs. Weekends I’m home, and have time to take dogs to the park for play or a long hike. I’m home also after 4:30 pm most days. I’m a school teacher and have summers off. I’ll be home full time from June 14 through August 12. I live in Marin in a condo which has a balcony, close to great trails, and in a wonderful and quiet Neighborhood. Love to spend time in nature.

“Elena was so sweet, caring, and very accommodating for a last minute booking. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and he had a great time on his little hike. So happy to have found a new sitter in the area 🙂”

About: I’ve always loved hanging out with a fur baby close by. I can’t commit full time to one myself… so i’m excited to be auntie to yours! I work remotely so pretty easily. Love any excuse to get out for walks around the neighborhood. And if they prefer more chill vibes, they can pick their fav spot any hang there. No pets of my own at home, so happy to cater to whatever yours may need. Plenty of options and space for whatever they may need.

“Chris, thank you so much. We have so much peace of mind knowing that you loved Bodhi as much as we do. It was wonderful to get feedback from you and see pictures of your hike. We look forward to working with you again.”

About: Hi, I’m Maral (pronounced Mer-All)—a professional dog trainer with a deep passion for helping dogs become calm, confident companions. My journey began over a decade ago when I helped raise and train a Doberman puppy who grew into a happy- go-lucky 120-lb giant. That experience sparked my dedication to not just caring for dogs, but helping them thrive. Today, I bring a thoughtful, psychology-based approach to every walk, visit, and day camp session. With a background in balanced dog training, and hands on experience with 100’s of dogs, I focus on fulfillment, clarity, and structure—giving dogs what they need to regulate their excitement, build confidence, and feel grounded in their environment. Unlike traditional pet care, my services are designed to enrich your dog’s mind and manners simultaneously. I implement threshold awareness, leash work, and real-world obedience into every visit. Reactive dog? I will keep them under threshold. Powerful Pup? I have one too! I know how to stand my ground. Shy with new people? I know just how to turn down the pressure. Extra Energetic? I’ll bring my flirt pole or tug toy, and we can work thier mind while also working thier body. For interested clients, I can also introduce crate training or work on off-leash remote collar training—always with clarity and care. Whether your dog is nervous and unsure or strong-willed and overstimulated, they’re in calm, capable hands. My goal is simple: to help fulfill your dog - while improving your lives on the trail, on the sofa, or on the sidewalk. Because I am self employed, I have all the flexibility in my scheduling to be able to accommodate whatever you and your pet might need. I am comfortable administering medication to both dogs and cats, as well as caring for any other pets present in the home in the case of house visits. I will always make sure waters have been topped up before leaving your home. I send daily videos of how things are going, where we went for walks, and training.

“Very nice and easy to work with.”

“Cheryl has been so flexible with Watson and I. He loves his visits and is well walked and ready to chill once he’s at home.”

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.

“Dennis was extremely flexible with a list minute day sitting appointment. Our dog is timid and fairly shy so Dennis was very conscientious about introducing her to the pack slowly. When I picked her up, it was clear she had become fond of Dennis. And when we got home, she passed right out. Thanks so much for taking care of Piki!”

“Arianna took great day care of my pup. She was so responsive in her messaging. She thoughtfully responded to my dog’s particular needs. I would feel safe and happy with my dog in her care anytime!”

“Chris, was very patient and kind regarding our 3.5 year old pup and took him on a few walks during his doggie day care time from 9:30-4:30pm. His dog, Cash, and Nugget both enjoyed their puppy time together. Christ was great at being able to handle all the puppy shananagans they had together. Chris really helped me out while my husband and I were at my father’s memorial service. We are so appreciative and recommend his services. He is new to the area but don’t let that stop you from utilizing his services.”

About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!
