“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 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.

“Very nice and easy to work with.”

About: I have experience with puppies and training the dogs. The dogs are getting everything they need when I pet sit them (treats, fun walks, good care) I work remotely from home. I have a backyard and a little park across the street for dog walking. I can take care of a dog few days week. I care about safety for a dog and safe environment. I can take the dog to a dog park close by, otherwise in the park close by.

“So far I can confidently say Adriana and Derek made me feel the most comfortable yet, leaving Rocco at their house under their care. Not only is their set up perfect for dogs, they genuinely care for your pet and treat them as well or better than your own. Rocco came home happy and tired. I look forward to hiring them again soon feeling secure in the time and effort they offer my dog. Very grateful I found them.”

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.

“The perfect play spot and care in the North Bay! Isabel took great care of my English Springer Spaniel. She and her husband helped him feel right at home and make new friends too. If you’re looking for a Walker or care in the Bay Area who you can trust and rest assured your dog’s in great hands: I’d throughly recommend Isabel.”

“Emily was so accommodating! I had a last minute cancellation in my daily walker and I reached out to her the evening before to see if she could watch my baby and she worked with my schedule! I will absolutely be contacting her every time I need day care or boarding in the future. Thanks so much Emily!”

“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!”

About: Welcome to my page! I live in Mill Valley in Strawberry with my 3 year old golden mix and husband. I keep my apartment clean and dog friendly. I have had dogs and pets my whole life and understand all areas of pet ownership and responsibility. I started Rover 5 years ago where I have taken care of dogs of all different ages and breeds. Let me know how I can help take care of your furry friend. No matter what age your dog is and energy level I can accommodate for both. My building accommodates small and medium sized dogs, so feel free to let me host yours. I am also happy to come by and help walk or feed them while you are away. I am originally from California but have lived on the east coast for 9 years now after I fell in love with the city in college. I can’t wait to help keep your furry friend happy and healthy! I currently work from home and am available to board or walk your pets. This includes morning, evening and afternoon. Please make sure your pet is neutered. Loving and responsible pet care is taken into account each day with your pets. I am home and happy to provide accommodation needed throughout your stay.

“What a wonderful experience for our dogs Laffy and Layla. They were welcomed so warmly by Miriam and felt right at home. Miriam is so friendly, competent, knows what she is doing - even with a quite shy and a very anxious dog. Her dog is so super sweet and got our big boy to quickly fall for her. All was relaxed.”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats most of my life (grew up with 7 of them!) I currently own one five year old cat named Cleo who is very friendly with people and pets. In addition to being a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society, I also love to dog sit as much as I can. I work from home full time so I have a very flexible schedule for walking and daily drop ins. Your animal will never be left alone! I also live across the street from the Marin Headlands which offers tons of great dog friendly trails. I am an experienced sitter and promise to treat your pet like I would treat my own! I work from home full time and have a very flexible work schedule, which means lots of time for walks outside in the Marin Headlands! I have an 8x10 outdoor deck with a great view, and also live next to miles of dog friendly hiking trails in the headlands which I frequent daily.

“Erica was really sweet and helpful. She took great care of my golden and kept me updated throughout the night. Very responsive and accommodating.”

About: New on here but have my own Border Collie who LOVES other dogs and after having a few negative experiences with sitters who were not really dog lovers or whisperers, I have decided to offer services because I'm a dog lover, am a professional who works from home, and am already committed to several walks and play at parks a day for my own dog. I have a small fenced in front yard but my, and my dogs lifestyle requires lots of outdoor time so you can rest assured your dog will get the best care, lots of walks if required and a cozy, loving, dog-centered home where there will always feed safe and be well cared for and loved. As mentioned above, I have a male border collie who LOVES other dogs more then he loves people, , he already gets 2x a day walks and park play are already scheduled into our day if that is what your dog requires (0r more) I will always be able to accommodate active doggies. I have a fenced yard, and a 3 bedroom home with an extra crate if your dog is crate trained and prefers to sleep in a crate. I also have a dog bed. And of course my dog Koa, to keep your doggie company.
