Dog Walking Tamalpais-Homestead Valley

“Had Gage everyday this week, as our puppy was neutered and couldn't do his regular off-leash hikes. Gage was on time every day, and our puppy Murphy was very excited to see him each day! I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”

About: I've loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. Since middle school, I've helped take care of dogs by walking them, bathing them, feeding them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. Being around pets has always been something I enjoy, and I treat every animal like they're my own. Right now I live with two dogs, Taco and Balu, so taking care of dogs is part of my everyday routine. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I’m currently unemployed because the restaurant I worked at unexpectedly closed, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be fully present and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines. I know that pets are happiest when they can stick to what they're used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and fresh water throughout the day. I'll treat your home with respect and keep it clean while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

About: I started taking care of my neighbor's cat when I was just 7, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, walking dogs, and even misting geckos. I raised my kitten and am familiar with the ammount of stimulation and play young (and older!) cats need. I have experience administering medications, including inhalers for dogs, and working with older animals. I'm currently taking a break before starting graduate school in the fall - I'm available mornings and evenings for feedings and walks, and during-the-day care can be scheduled as needed. I am committed to providing play and attention to the animals I care for in their familiar environments! I ensure I play with cats and get them engaged and moving every day, and provide the walks that dogs need to explore and spend their energy.

About: Hi, I'm Isabel! I'm a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have my own pets at home, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've also cared for the pets of friends and family, so I'm comfortable handling a variety of personalities, breeds, and needs. And if your pup comes back a little muddy from our adventure, I'm also happy to give them a bath and send them home fresh and clean! I’m currently working part time, so I’ve got a pretty open schedule most days. Afternoons and evenings work best, although some days I’m completely free! I walk my dog every day and keep her on a regular routine. I’ll walk your dog in their neighborhood so that they’re comfortable and know the area well. I maintain boundaries with other dogs, keeping your pets safely paramount.

“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.”

“Anjali was wonderful with our senior Lab, Bella. She took her on lovely walks and sent us a bunch of really fun photographs. It was great to be able to relax and know that Bella was well taken care of. We feel lucky to have found Anjali in our new city!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including Bernese mountain dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m 26, live in Mill Valley, and work as the general manager of two restaurants in San Francisco. Although my schedule can vary, I’m generally available in the mornings, on weekends, and for overnight care. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing fetch at the park, or simply relaxing and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Since I’m not able to have a pet of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs and cats is especially meaningful to me! I currently work as a restaurant general manager, so my mornings are usually open before I head to work in the afternoon around 1-3. I typically finish around 9–10 p.m. and am available for early-morning visits, overnight stays, and weekends. My schedule can vary slightly, but I’m happy to communicate clearly and coordinate a routine that works best for you and your pet. I’m unable to host animals in my home, but I’m available for pet sitting in a client’s home. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable around animals of different sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide regular photos and updates.

About: I grew up with dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my adulthood including two mixed-breed rescues from Milo and a pure-bread yellow lab at 6 weeks. My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open and flexible aside from occasional travel. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs. My services include in-home visits (feedings, medications, playtime, companionship) and walks. I'm able to do a neighborhood walk or drive to a local trailhead for a hike.

About: Dogs are like us in a way. They appreciate good company. I love to hike on weekends. If your dog likes the beach, we can go there too. Some dogs lean into a slower pace and short walks. I’m here for all of it. The important thing is that your pet is happy. My experience ranges from 15 to 90 lb. breeds of all ages. I’m excited to meet you and yours. Dogs were always a part of my family as a child. My pet sitting experience ranges from 15 to 90 lb. breeds of all ages. I've helped owners with crate training and acclimating young pets to voice recall. I’ve also helped support owners with senior dogs find creative ways to brighten their pup’s day to day lifestyle. Please say hello and let me know how I can help. I'm fortunate to work from home. Your dog and I get more time to enjoy each other's company. It also makes it easier for us to spend more time outdoors and less time commuting. I love to hike on weekends and bring a dog with me. If your dog likes the beach, we can go there too. I'll even make fresh dog-friendly food for your pet with your approval. I’m excited to meet you and yours.

About: Hello, my name is Iman, and if you're thinking of how to say it, think of it like the second half of the word Pokemon! From taking care of my own dog, helping my elderly neighbors walk their dogs, and much more, I can handle many breeds from tiny pups to big dogs and I do it with a smile on my face because I love working with these animals. While I only have four official years of house sitting and dog walking professionally, all my life I have been surrounded by dogs and have handled them with care. I hope I get to be your dog's next friend! I have a completely free summer so catering to your pet and their needs will be my upmost priority, and I will absolutely have a blast spending time with them! Since I am fortunate enough to have a dog be a part of my family, I understand how much these tailed animals mean to us, so I always put their safety in mind. For example, If I were to walk them, I would always put myself between the street and them. I'm always checking my surroundings and considerate of other dogs potentially, and more. And things like this are the bare minimum. I hope you can trust me and it won't be a decision you will regret.

“Chiara is the perfect match for my girl Kanga. Both have lots of energy. Thanks so much for taking Kanga out for a much needed run this morning.”

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.

“Stephanie walked my dog recently and it was a great experience all around! I will definitely be using her as a dog walker in the future!”

About: I've been the default pet person in my circle for years. When someone goes out of town, I'm the call they make. Over the years I've had turtles, lizards, fish, a hedgehog, dogs, and cats. I had a rescue dog from the Korean meat trade, which shaped how I approach animals that need a little more patience or time to warm up. I'm good at that. I set my own schedule and can work from anywhere. When I'm sitting for your pet, the day is built around them. No clock to beat, no hard out. If your dog needs an extra walk or your cat just wants company, that's what we do. I come to your place so your pet stays in their own space with their own routine. I follow your lead on feeding schedules, medications, boundaries, and anything else that matters to your animal. You'll get updates and photos throughout so you're never left guessing. I treat your home and your pet with the same care I'd want someone to bring to mine.

About: Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’d love to help care for your furry friends. I have six years of experience with pet and house sitting. I used to volunteer at the humane society, so I am very familiar and comfortable with animals and their needs. I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities (deaf, blind, etc.). I’m local to Sausalito, and am happy to help you out if you’re located in Marin. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions! We both work remotely and have flexible schedules. My partner, Michael, is also on my account and he serves as my backup, in case I ever need it. :) Communication is key! Please let me know if there are any special circumstances related safety for your pet. Personally, I keep cameras around my home for ease of mind, so I understand if you do the same.
