“Lillie was great! She was super easy to communicate with and let us come by for a meet and greet first. Baloo appreciated the AC in her house and seemed happy and tired when I picked him up. We would use Lillie again!”

About: Although I have never owned a dog myself, I have several years of experience caring for family dogs. My sister has had a dog since 2016, and my mom got a dog in 2023. I regularly help care for them when my family is out of town, including feeding them on schedule, providing fresh food and water, taking them on walks, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. While I do not have extensive pet-sitting experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with patience, love, and responsibility. I would be grateful for the opportunity to care for your furry friend and appreciate the trust you place in me. I am a full-time student during the weekdays and a mom to a 6 six year old girl who also loves dogs. I am available in the evenings to take your dog on a walk. I am also available anytime on the weekend to board your pup or to take them for walks. I make sure dogs are safe and comfortable while in my home and I let them lead their walks. I keep them on a secure leash at all times, pay attention to their surroundings, allow them time to sniff and explore, and make sure they release enough energy without getting them overtired.
“Jaimi took amazing care of our dog, Maizie. She and her loved ones treated Maizie as a member of their family and the frequent photo updates were a delight. Knowing that Maizie was so well cared for made our travel worry-free. We highly recommend Jaimi and have already made arrangements to have Maizie stay with her again.”
“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.”
“Tatiana and Renat took amazing care of our dog! We were on a long trip and did not have to worry a bit as we regularly received wonderful messages with pictures from Tatiana updating us about how things were going. We are so grateful for the great care that they provided. ❤️”
“Dustin was great! He sent us a ton of pictures/videos of our dog during her stay and made us feel comfortable she was in safe hands. Lots of space to run around- our dog came back tired and seeming like she had a blast. Referred Dustin to our friends and family in town! 10 / 5 stars.”
“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!”
“Tamara is so great! It is very clear how much she loves animals and how caring she is. She went above an beyond . She’s great with communicating. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you Bianca! Bianca took wonderful care of Kuma and we appreciate her excellent communication and flexibility. We would absolutely ask Bianca to dog sit again. Thank you!!”

“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!”
“Our dog had a great time at Jessica's. She sent photos and gave me updates often ~ he even got a doggy playdate in with a neighbor's little dog too. Jessica was super easy to communicate with and even texted when she was concerned about our dog's lack of eating ~ she helped him though it and I think he really enjoyed himself. We will definitely send our dog back to Jessica's.”
“Mary has taken care of our older Goldendoodle Chessie a few times now. I highly recommend her! She is caring, thoughtful, energetic, communicative and genuinely loves dogs. Your pup is in the best hands with Mary.”
“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”
“Yvette took great care of my dog over the holidays! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Ginkgo was a very happy boy, and I would definitely have him stay with Yvette again!”

“Jessica was so great with our cat Peanut while we were away for 2 weeks! Its always hard leaving Peanut for long periods of time, but we felt like she was in such good hands with Jessica.

Peanut was so calm and clearly happy when we got home too which is the ultimate indicator that she was well taken care of 😊 thank you Jessica!!!”

About: Cats have a special place in my heart, I’m patient, observant, and attentive to subtle cues—because I know a flicking tail or slow blink says a lot. I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and low-stress care, and I always follow your cat’s routine closely. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and confident in their own space while giving you peace of mind that they’re in gentle, capable hands.

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! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.
“My crew absolutely loved Sharon and her positive energy. The photos she sent were pronominal, the communication was great. We will be hiring her again. Alsó appreciated her attention to detail when learning all the different routines and behavior patterns with my little ones. Thank you.”
About: Over the past 7 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to walk and sit for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors who prefer a leisurely stroll. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take great pride in the trust that pet owners place in me. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pet and treat them as my own. I also have a dog-walking business license. My husband & I are both self-employed, so our schedules are flexible, we have plenty of time to take care of your pet and always have someone at home. I don’t have a yard, but I do have a balcony and deck. I have a child who loves playing fetch and running with the dogs. Additionally, I walk my clients’ dogs 3 times a week, so I can take your pet on a long walk with others. If needed, I can also run your dog or play fetch in the park or on the beach. I can also crate your dog if necessary.
About: I've looked out of my mentor's dog while at my day program at Autistry Studios on Fridays occasionally. Other that no previous pet care experience. Hi, I'm Benjamin but people just called me Ben. I'm go to Sonoma State University and I'm not usually available throughout most of the weekdays but I'm available on Fridays and the weekends. I have two cats in my home. I always watch for them because sometimes my parents let them outside and I always looked for them.
“Lydia is amazing. Not only did she know how to gain my kitty’s trust and keep her happy and occupied, she also administered daily medication. Lydia is also a great communicator, flexible with her time and clearly devoted to my pet. I couldn’t have left her in better care and will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I also love taking care of cats if you need your kitty to be fed, checked on, and loved while you are away. My sister was allergic to cats growing up and we never had one so I’m getting all the time I can in now- and I found I really enjoy cats and their different personalities!
About: I currently have a chocolate point Siamese female nine year old cat with beautiful blue eyes. I don’t allow her around any dogs and she is always kept away in a separate room until the dog has left. I feel like cats are so special because they bring you so much unconditional love and affection and are so pretty and adorable. What’s their not to like? They really are angels on earth.

“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.

About: My name is Valeria. I have taken care of pets since I was a child and my love for them has only grown as I have gotten older. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. Growing up I had 3 dogs who I helped with the pet sitting, long or short walks, giving them their medications at the appropriate times, as well as taking good care of them. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. One of the most important parts of being a dog walker is having empathy for them. I am always excited to meet new dogs and help them get exercise and fresh air. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! If you have any questions do not be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away. I am currently working part time so I am available all day on the weekends and during the week as well in the morning and evenings! I live at home with a big fenced backyard which provides plenty of room for my dog to run around and play! She is very social and loves the company of other dogs.
“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!”
“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

I have 2 separate places in my house that your dog would feel comfortable, either in a carpeted room or hardwood floors. My dog loves going back and forth between these two areas

About: I’ve cared for dogs in a wide range of situations, including senior dogs, special-needs pups, and dogs recovering from injuries. Most dogs love nature, and it's exciting to see them perk up on walks at the sound of chirping birds, rustling brush, or a skittering lizard. There are great dog-friendly nature paths in Novato and San Rafael that give the pups both sniffing and social opportunities, so they come home tired and content. What I’m especially good at is communication. I pay close attention to a dog’s eyes, ears, posture, and energy, because they tell you so much before they ever make a sound. I use a gentle “dog voice” (yes, the sweet baby-talk voice) and clear, steady cues, because many dogs respond quickly to warmth, tone, and consistency. Even anxious or shy dogs usually soften when they realize they’re being understood. I’ve also cared for large dogs, and my Labrador retriever loves having big buddies to play with. No matter the size, age, or temperament, I’m respectful of each dog’s individual needs, and I make sure they feel safe, seen, and truly cared for with plenty of affection, attention, patience, and exercise. I currently work from home, and I have a (mostly) flexible schedule. I like to get out with my dog two times a day for 2+ mile walks on local trails and parks. I respect people's spaces, and I am good at following detailed instructions for homes and their pets. I have references and happy clients to tell you about it!

“Camila is a dream dog sitter, walker, and overall person. She puts extreme care in making sure she knows your dog’s schedule, likes/dislikes, favorite activities, and food preferences. With our dog she was incredibly loving and attentive. She sent picture and video updates daily and you could see how happy/loved he was and how much fun he was having. Camila comes with my highest recommendation! If you need to leave your beloved dog with someone –– rest assured with Camila. Your pup will feel loved, taken care of, and have all their needs met. She really goes above and beyond. In fact, I’m not so sure how much our dog even wants to come back to us after being with her! I’m so happy we found her.”
“This was our first experience with Kevin and Rosa and we were nervous about our newly adopted puppy who had separation anxiety. It turns out that she had a wonderful time with Kevin and Rosa, who showered her with individual attention and she bonded with their big friendly other dog. Kevin and Rosa were responsible, kept in close touch, and we hope to work with them again.”
