Pet Sitting in Tamalpais Valley

“Maral dropped in on our puppy for an hour while we had to be out of the house for the day. Beforehand, she asked if we wanted help with training, which was fine by us, and she proceeded to send us multiple videos of the she was using while giving him a walk. He was having a great time while learning - Maral is absolutely recommended.”

“Heather is so communities and gentles with the 3 cats 2 who stay hidden but were relaxed when I returned.”

“I don’t really need to explain why Rachel deserves 5 stars, she just does. She was communicative every step of the way and SO patient with my problem puppy (who really just a little anxious). She sent pics and updates every day, came once without pay, and deserves 7/5 stars, let’s be real. She was never ever late, never ever skipped, and made it so easy being thousands of miles away from my babes!”

“Andy was great, I highly recommend him! My dog Teddy took an immediate liking to him and looked happy and content in the photos and videos he sent. Andy followed my instructions and left my home neat and tidy. Communication was excellent before and during the visit.”

“Prompt and thorough! Thanks again for your help!”

“Tiffany did a perfect job at caring for our two kitties! She made our first time being away from them a positive experience by providing trustworthy care and frequent updates. We will absolutely rebook!”

About: I live in Mill Valley and have two dogs of my own— both are pity type mixes that were rescued. I know what it means to take good care of beloved pets. I have many years of experience, both dog sitting and housesitting. I love taking dogs for walks and hikes and spend quite a bit of time with my own dogs up on Mount Tam. I’m currently not working so I have lots of available time for dog walks, sitting and house sitting. I do not do group dog walking so your dog will get the best one on one attention. I’m happy to support special needs as well. I prefer to take care of dogs in their own home as I find this is most comfortable for them. I like to deeply understand the owners preferences and needs so that I can make sure the dogs are happy.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring a lifelong love for animals and hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with pets and have been a dedicated cat and dog owner for years. I currently own an eight year old Chihuahua and three cats of varying ages. I understand how much love, patience, and attention our pet family requires. I’ve cat-sat for friends and am comfortable with feeding routines, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love! I would love to take on jobs for dogs as well! I recently started volunteering at Marin Humane Society, where I learned about animal behavior, care, and enrichment from professionals. My long-term goal is to study Animal Science and pursue a career in animal care. I’m reliable, compassionate, and always happy to tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and quirks. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I take care of one dog and three cats every day, making sure they’re well fed, loved, and active. I feed them in the morning and evening, play with them using their favorite toys, and walk the dog daily. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize throughout my day. It brings me a lot of joy and keeps me in tune with what pets need to feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, or any special needs. I always treat the client’s home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I give pets lots of love, attention, and enrichment while also being mindful of their comfort levels especially if they’re shy or adjusting to someone new. My goal is to make their time without you as stress free and happy as possible.

“Thanks so much for taking Bill out on a couple of fun walks today!!”

About: I grew up around animals. My senior bichon-poodle passed away in June 2024. Although I am not ready to commit to another pet I am committed to hanging out with your fur baby auntie style! I love staying active and I walk/run every morning and it would be more motivating with a furry friend who loves walks too. *I work as a medical assistant and have past experience with senior dogs so I am comfortable giving medications* I work full time but have time to walk/check on your fur baby Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's in the mornings. I am off Saturday through Monday ! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I’ll treat them with care and compassion. The park I live by is a great place for a good morning walk.

About: Having been raised around dogs and cats my entire childhood, as well as raising my own pets since adulthood, I am more than excited to take care of yours! I am wide open during summertime, but work school hours during the school year. I have open availability on the weekends and after school for both overnights and walks. During the day, I would be able to take your pup out in the am, at lunch and afterschool. My friends joke that my dog is my fourth child and they are definitely correct. I believe in routines first, of course, but also letting a dog guide you as the day goes on.

About: I have a 9 year old goldendoodle at home with my parents. Before getting him when I was 13 years old, I had been begging my parents for 5 years. I would walk other peoples dogs, write essays, research on how to train and take care of dogs. Eventually my parents gave in but they made me do all the work (which I was so happy to do). I walked him, taught him how to swim, went on many hiking adventures, and even ended up training him to be a therapy dog. Now he is older, I love to snuggle him, take him on slow morning walks, and just sit by his side outside. I just moved to San Francisco and am missing my dog dearly so I would love to help you take care of your dog or pet. I currently am working full time so I am available any day after 5:30pm. I am also available all day on the weekends. I cannot house pets in my current apartment but I am willing to travel. I will take care of your pets by your directions. In my home we feed my dog twice a day, he's not allowed to go into certain parts of the home, has to sit and ask to go outside. For walks, I trained my dog to walk on leash with no pulling or off leash. I am comfortable with whatever and will follow your direction and rules for your dog. Consistency is key for pet behavior

About: I've dog walked for all sorts of people! Taking care of my two dogs at home, a 12-year-old golden doodle, and a 4-year-old mutt, is one of the things I'm best at! They'd be happy to provide a letter of recommendation too! I just graduated from college, and I will be home for the summer. I am very available and I would love to take care of your dogs :) I can follow whatever instructions are provided and respect any privacy concerns. I like wearing sandals which can make it easy to take off shoes coming into the house but I've got some heavy-duty boots too for more strenuous dog walking adventures.

“Alicia (and her daughters) took a good care about our kitty; provided her with so much needed attention and company, while we were away! And she also brought our deliveries inside and stacked them neatly! Very grateful and looking forward to turn to Alicia again in future.”

About: Hello there! I am a loving pet caregiver and house nurturer living in Marin. I enjoy taking care of animals and people's homes as if they were my very own, with love, respect and better than you left it. I enjoy doing yoga, restorative yoga and adventuring in nature in my spare time. I just finished my 600 hour massage license and 6 month Reiki energy training! My hope is that these intuitive and intentional skills will help assist in a loving and nurturing approach to your pets care needs. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your special fur-family member and home. Warmly, Adrienne I currently work at Good Earth in the Wellness Department and have early mornings, lunch (1pm) and evenings (after 5:30pm) open for feeding, walks and checkins! I currently care for pets overnight in their homes and do not offer boarding service at this time. You can rest assure that I provide a respectful and loving approach to all homes I take care of. 🏡 💛

About: Hello, my name is Aria. I absolutely adore animals especially dogs. I used to have a dog walking business; hikes, play time, feeding, house sitting, you name it i’ve done it! All around my neighborhoods I have taken care of dogs. One of my favourite things to do is go on a hike with a pup! I have flexible hours and would love to help out and take care of some pups! As stated above I am extremely flexible. No commitments as it is summer! I love being in nature and have had a lot of free time. Overall pretty open! Because I am such a dog lover I love spending time with them either on walks or inside the home. If a dog needs to be watched more carefully I have no problem with that! My backyard is free range with a fence where they can roam at all hours and overall i’m very gentle and loving with them.

“BEST SITTER! I had an emergency and Sian was able to walk my boy at short notice. She was prompt and sent me pics that Beni was taken care of. Will definitely be using Sian again!”

“Crystal was amazing! I have an older Calico who wasn’t happy with me leaving. My cat left a few messes, and Crystal went above and beyond to clean them up when she didn’t need to. I appreciated her daily check-ins, kindness, and thoroughness. Thank you, Crystal. I look forward to rebooking your services. :)”
