We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.

Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.

Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!

Thank you so much, Sylvie!! I can tell that Bobbi had an amazing time staying with you and your family and the other boarding dogs. I’m so grateful she had the opportunity to properly socialize with other older dogs as she is still a puppy. The endless pictures you sent were such a relief to see. I was always so happy to get them while on my trip—she clearly loved sniffing around your garden. And thank you for sticking to my notes and instructions, as she is still a puppy and I wanted to keep certain things going like crate training while I was away. I’d love to rebook with you in the future. Thanks again for your attention to detail and care for Bobbi :)

My puppy had to have emergency surgery right before I left her with them, and they handled her detailed care plan and fragile state with such love and professionalism. They even taught me the trick of hiding her pills in mashed potatoes! They truly deserve ten stars!!!

About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).

Jessica took wonderful care of my two terriers over a week when I was traveling with my family -- when I picked them up I could tell that they'd have been happy to have stayed over for another week. While away we had no worries, as Jessica kept us up-to-date with pictures showing how the dogs were doing. Jessica's house has a beautiful yard and was super comfy place for the dogs. I hope she'll be able to dog-sit for us next time we're traveling.

I’ve worked with many large dog breeds, which include malamutes, German shepherds, pitbulls and even Akita’s. I’m currently work during the day so I am free most evenings Sunday through Thursday. I have more availability on Fridays and Saturdays during the day. I make sure the pets are in safe areas for them so that they don’t get into anything that isn’t safe. I make sure to give them space but follow them just in case. I want them feel comfortable in their space.

Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care!

About: Lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, medication routines, and keeping your cat comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with shy cats, senior cats, multi-cat households, and cats who need extra patience to warm up. I pay close attention to behavior and appetite so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also know how important updates are when you’re away, so I’m happy to send photos and messages for peace of mind. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll care for them as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the past five years, I’ve pet sat for a variety of families and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away!! In addition to pet sitting, me and my family foster with Milo, where I’ve helped care for dogs as they transition into their forever homes. That experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to help dogs feel safe in new environments. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide reliable, loving care, along with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away!! I’m currently very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’m also available on weekends and happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I’ll always care for your pet as if they were my own! I’ll follow all of your instructions carefully, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

Hir and Mitchell were absolutely wonderful with Sheba! From the moment I arrived, they greeted me outside, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving her in their care. It was clear right away that they are true animal lovers. They took Sheba on a walk right away and kept in great communication with me throughout the time she was with them, which I really appreciated. Everything felt easy—from finding their place to coordinating drop-off and pick-up. I’m so grateful to have found them. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

Lori and Frank were incredibly warm to me and my dog! They welcomed him with open arms and gave him so much love - I was able to happily be without him knowing he was in great hands with Lori and Frank. They loved his idiosyncrasies and did everything they could to make my dog comfy - he can’t wait to go back and I will definitely use Lori and Frank regularly!

About: Sri Sharie is a long time animal lover, enthusiastic about the beauty that our animals share with us. I do some training, and I am an animal communicator 🙂🧚 I also delight in sharing timeless wisdom, natural remedies, and endless enthusiasm for all the animals... All creatures great and small. Holistic Health Professional for over 35 years, a Magical Genius in the Gene Keys system - my conscientious care and versatile tool kit are on offer throughout the Bay Area I am semi-retired from my professional practice as teacher of healing arts, and individual and couples therapist. I have a lot of experience with service animals. I love to connect the dots in terms of the stresses that we are experiencing in our own bodies and then how our animals respond, and sometimes they carry our burdens. I love to support clearing and balancing for everybody's health! Since my journey in the last decade, which I call my radical sabbatical, I am ever grateful to be connecting differently with people rather than simply as a therapist. We are all in this together, and love abounds! I grew up with dogs, and more dogs. We had German shepherds and a Mastiff when I was very young, later my mother raised Border Collies, and my sister raised Jack Russells. I do love to help train dogs when they need it, it is ever so important, and help the owners get in the best groove with their relationship to their precious companions... My mother also had a Maine Coon cat and a small dog that were best friends and I have to say this is my favorite thing ever... In the '70s I hitchhiked across the country with a kitten tucked in my parka...

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I can’t imagine life without them. I recently welcomed two playful puppies into my family, so I’m very familiar with the energy (and patience!) it takes to care for dogs of all ages. I love going on walks, making sure pups are well-fed, playing with them, and of course giving lots of cuddles. Pet parents can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and caring. I always treat dogs like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping up with their daily routine, giving them extra playtime, or just being a comforting companion, I’ll make sure your pup is well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’m originally from Southern California, but I’m currently in the Bay Area for school, and I would love the chance to spend more time with dogs while I’m here. As a full-time nursing student, I’m available later in the evenings on Fridays and fully free on weekends. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I’d love to spend my free time walking, playing, and cuddling with pups who need some extra love and attention! Since I live in a small college dorm, I’m only able to provide pet care in clients’ homes. When caring for pets, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — so they feel at ease. I give plenty of attention, cuddles, and play, and I always keep an eye on their well-being. I’m respectful of the client’s space and make sure everything is left neat and tidy. My goal is for every pup (and their owner!) to feel happy, stress-free, and well cared for while we’re together.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.

Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!

Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️

Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!

Thank you so much, Sylvie!! I can tell that Bobbi had an amazing time staying with you and your family and the other boarding dogs. I’m so grateful she had the opportunity to properly socialize with other older dogs as she is still a puppy. The endless pictures you sent were such a relief to see. I was always so happy to get them while on my trip—she clearly loved sniffing around your garden. And thank you for sticking to my notes and instructions, as she is still a puppy and I wanted to keep certain things going like crate training while I was away. I’d love to rebook with you in the future. Thanks again for your attention to detail and care for Bobbi :)

Mary and her husband Mark were such sweethearts and I felt so good having Enzo in their home. Mary was able to accommodate me on super short notice and was flexible with my drop off and pickup schedule. I got lots of pictures from their various walks and I would 100% use Mary again! Highly recommend!

Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.

Ariane looked after our dog for four nights while we were away, and she was amazing! Our dog immediately took to her and I could tell he would be in the best hands. He looked so comfortable and happy when I picked him up, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very communicative and sent daily photos and videos of him. We look forward to using Ariane again soon!

Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Adriana and Derek. They took exceptional care of our dog and treated them like their own. Communication was excellent, we received regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We came home to a relaxed, content pup, which says everything. We would trust Adriana and Derek again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

About: I was raised in a home full of dogs and cats. We took in any and all strays. Even had a pet duck that lived to be 12 years old. I have bottle fed puppies that the mom dog was too spoiled to care for and my English Bulldog taught me so much about how to deal with a dog with medical challenges. I'm patient and kind. I'm currently working as an assistant TK teacher and I only work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. My apt is safe and I can take them on neighborhood walks or hikes. I'm fully capable of taking care of dogs or cats in my home or yours.

Christine was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and communicative during the week our active McNab boarded over. Our dog is a total pandemic puppy, and Christine dealt with her separation anxiety with grace (especially considering this was our first long term trip away). We got daily updates and photos as well as a very thorough end of stay assessment that made it clear that Christine was attentive to our dog’s peculiarities and needs. It seemed like our dog’s stay was more than just a week of boarding - the socialization and training kept our dog engaged. Highly recommend.

Megan was fantastic! She took such great care of our poodle, Messi, and kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Messi also loved spending time with Megan’s daughter and quickly became friends with her sweet pups. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. Thank you, Megan! We’ll definitely be booking with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.
