“Lei is great!!!! Her and her family are extremely friendly, warm, and accommodating. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with her. The location is lovely; a perfect place for dog walks. Can't wait to use her again!!!”
“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: 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.
“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 🙂”
“Krystle was kind, patient, positive, upbeat, AND was able to magically meet my super-energetic 14-month-old Australian Labradoodle's needs without "spoiling" her. I knew my furbaby would be well-cared for after seeing how Krystle treated her three dogs, with vastly different ages, personalities, and exercise requirements, but seeing my puppy accepted as part of "the pack" went beyond my highest expectations. My puppy came home exercised, clean, and clearly deeply content.”
“Taylor really enjoyed her first visit with Jake. She got so much attention and exercise and can’t wait to come back for more! Jake is a great communicator he and his daughter are so attentive!”
“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!”
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.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since the age of 10. My passion for animals started when I was gifted my own dog who I received for my 7th birthday 11 years ago! I have been the primary care provider for him. I am excited to share my love of animals and offer affordable services to my community! Since I am currently enrolled in online college coursework, my schedule is very flexible. In addition to home visits & walks, I am available to board your pet in my family home in Madera Del Presidio in Corte Madera. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and live two blocks from a dog-friendly park. Two friendly dogs & a cat, who thinks he’s a dog, reside in our home.
“(I really appreciate your flexibility, Dennis, on the timing. I will endeavor to NOT need to do that in the future however.) Dennis gained my confidence almost immediately. This was our second time there, and yes my dog came home happy. But most important, she was VERY happy to go there! Ran me up the steps. YAY!”

“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.

Maral M.
“Maral is the real deal dog-whisperer. We never like to leave our fur-baby behind and were very nervous about being out of town on an extended vacation. We have a mid-sized dog (50 lbs.) who is a bit anxious and can sometimes be skittish around other male dogs. We needed to know (practically and for peace of mind on the trip) that he was in the hands of someone who had the experience and know-how of handling dogs in a variety of settings. Maral has such a calm demeanor and instantly connected with our dog. She followed our feeding/walking schedule but also added extra doggie adventures during the week. We loved receiving the photo updates of our happy pup! We’ve had Maral dog-sit numerous times and our dog is always excited to see her again.”
