Dog Walking Strawberry

About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent the last year working as a veterinary technician, and worked alongside ranch dogs for two years before that. I am comfortable with dogs (plus cats and ranch animals!) of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My veterinary background also makes me comfortable with medications and specialty care. I really enjoy being able to get to know each pet’s unique personality! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I can accommodate different days and times whenever possible! I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions. My veterinary background has given me experience with pet first aid, medications, and special needs, as well as recognizing changes in behavior or health. I am always excited to meet and spend time with new pets!

“Gage is so great! My dog is truly hit or miss with humans and the moment Gage walked in the door, he was immediately excited and happy to have found a new friend. Gage is always on time, incredibly thoughtful and polite and a true dog whisperer. He’s taken such great care of my boy while going through postpartum recovery and I couldn’t have made it the past four months without him. I would never chose to go with anyone else but sadly, we are moving and I hope my dog will remember that I can be fun too! I highly recommend Gage to anyone, you won’t regret his immense kindness and respect for animals, five stars all around!”

About: I have owed dogs my entire life and as an adult have always had a dog that our household revolves around. My current dog is a high energy Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix so I do as many walks and hikes and training sessions as I can to wear him out each day. After a few walks he is more than happy to chill too if your dog is more laid back. I have a single family home in a quiet neighborhood in Corte Madera with a fenced yard. I take walks at least 3-4 times per day around the neighborhood and park a few blocks away and frequent longer hikes or dog park visits as appropriate. And playing in the back yard and lounging in the sun is also a favorite activity. My husband and two kids also live here and adore dogs but I will be the one providing care. I am not working right now but normally work remotely so have plenty of time to dote over the dogs we care for. We have a flexible schedule and can work around the pup’s needs. I have a secure fenced yard and plenty of space for them to play out there. We take many walks through the day around the neighborhood or on hikes around Marin.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life, from a three-legged Rottie named Goose, to Golden Retrievers, to Buster, a beloved mutt who loved long walks in the woods. I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and many happy clients, whether I was visiting them or they were visiting me. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, including walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, potty breaks, and everything in between. Many happy humans — according to their pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins never feel like an interruption — they are usually one of the best parts of my day. I’m active and outdoors often, so I’m happy to build my schedule around regular walks, longer outings when appropriate, and plenty of attention at home. I’m also comfortable with more detailed care needs, including medications, specific feeding routines, bathing, and keeping pets on the schedule they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or both, I like to keep things calm, consistent, and reliable so pets feel safe and their humans feel comfortable while they’re away. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and attentive. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, keep their spaces clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how things are going. My goal is to give each pet calm, reliable care and plenty of attention while their humans are away.

About: Hello there! I offer small-group hiking adventures for dogs: "Andy for Dogs Marin". Dogs are picked up from home, hike and explore together as a pack, then are dropped back off afterward. It’s a social group activity designed to provide exercise, enrichment, play, and outdoor adventure beyond a regular neighborhood walk. Each adventure includes at least two hours on the trails, usually covering 4–6 miles. Pickup, transportation, and drop-off are on top of the hike, so your dog is typically out for about 3–4 hours total. During our adventures, I reinforce basics such as recall, sit, stay, down, check-ins, and good pack manners. It’s not just exercise—the goal is to give dogs both physical and mental enrichment.

About: I'm the friend who everyone asks to take care of their dog (including senior dogs). I love our furry friends—and appreciate every families trust. I raised a Bichon puppy and later cared for her as a 12 year old senior dog. I have fostered and helped to train 4 rescue dogs through the Milo Foundation and frequently pop by to volunteer walk Milo dogs. I am an executive who works from home so I am at the dog's side non-stop and have the flexibility to take several walks a day. I'm also a 5 minute drive to Blackie's Pasture for longer walks. I have a super clean home. The dogs are allowed everywhere. I have a very clean, safe home. I also have access to popular dog parks/walks. I pay close attention to dietary restrictions, etc. And when it comes to passing another dog on leash I always ask if the dog is friendly. I'm a mom to an 11 year old—I care for dogs like they are kiddos.

“Alaina has been great with my dog, Cooper. Provides thorough updates, takes him on great walks, is respectful, and punctual. Could not have hoped for a better person to spend this time with my pup.”

About: Welcoming all furry friends! See below for a bit about what to expect: - I live and work remotely from my Mill Valley home. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so have plenty of extra time to dedicate to your pup! - I live in a home just a few short blocks from the park, with a variety of dog friendly places within walking distance. 5-10 minutes away from amazing hiking trails, so there is quite a bit to see and do. - i’m extremely active (typically run every morning, and often head out on long hikes or day trips over the weekend), so am more than happy to wear your pup out running or playing if it's something they enjoy. Also able to just provide tons of love and company for senior dogs or those that prefer a more lazy agenda! - Extensive experience in pet care: I raised my 3.5 year old golden retriever from puppyhood, grew up with dogs, I’ve been dog sitting via Rover for years, volunteering at rescue centers, etc. You're in good hands! - I have an SUV for beach trips, hikes, or providing any pick up/drop off necessary! Just let me know if you need help with coordinating a pick up or drop off with your dog before or after your trip. Please reach out at any time to my via text or phone! Always happy to provide frequent updates and additional pictures! I have my own pup who typically requires a decent bit of exercise, but willing to accommodate your dog’s personal schedule! Living on a park makes it easy to accommodate frequent bathroom trips. I treat all pets like part of the family! Regular interaction, cuddles, tricks, treats, and training when desired. I like to make sure we all head out on minimum one long walk per day.

“Krystle has been great with my dog, who hates walks without me. My dog is happy to see her come to the door and enjoy the walks. Krystle is always on time and responsive to the needs of me and my dog. I’m so happy I found her on Rover.”

“Very quick response and accommodating to a last minute request. Walk + nail trim went very smooth. Glad I didn’t have to make an extra trip to the groomer. You can tell Nima greatly cares about animals and treats them like his own.”

About: As a Marin County Native, I’m no stranger to the outdoors. Growing up I loved taking my dogs on long hikes, exploring the vast landscape of the Northbay. Professionally, I’ve been pet & house sitting for almost a decade. Primarily catering to a very private & discreet clientele, I am adept at managing long term or short term sittings under strict guidelines & conditions. When caring for dogs, I take them on two, 20 - 30 minute walks, one in the morning & one at night, as well an hour long dog park visit. Each dog is different & requires a specific routine, many of my clients have special requests, that are happily accommodated upon request. When sitting a clients residence, I provide quality care to all pets. Additionally, my policy is to leave the space better than I found it.

About: My family has had 2 dogs and cats my entire life. They cared for them with proper exercise and nutrition daily. Pet care is second nature for me. Just moved to the area and looking for a way to make money while on the job hunt! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I will take care of your pets by making sure they are fed, hydrated, and get proper exercise. Let me know if there is anything special that you need and I can accommodate.

“Caroline has walked our dog Wilbur a few times and has been phenomenal! She sends lots of great photos and videos. We love seeing which route they take. She is very detail oriented and always goes the extra mile. We are so grateful for Caroline!”

“Ellen was right on time and so confident and attentive our puppy. We so appreciate knowing he gets a nice long walk in the middle of a work day.”

“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️
