“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.”
“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 ❤️”
“Nadya was great! Her place is a relaxing retreat for the dogs, lots of sunny spots to lounge in the yard. She sent great pics while we were gone. She was kind, friendly and responds quick to texts. Would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
“We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!”
About: Growing up, I have always been around animals. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own that I love unconditionally. I have house sat for families with a variety of pets. From taking care of cats, dogs, geckos, and chinchillas, I have found myself to be very responsible person and loving towards all animals, giving them all the attention they need. Being a very active person, I will always give your pet plenty of exercise.
“Kyle was just the perfect hostess for Skyler! Skyler seemed to have a lot of fun and to get all the attention just the way she likes it! we got updates and pics and were fully satisfied. Kyle would definitely be our first choice in mind for next times!”
“Nahir & Mitchell looked after our dog Lilly for three weeks while we were away. She had only met them once but from the beginning we could tell she felt comfortable with them. We received daily updates and photographs from them which was comforting, especially as she is an older dog and can be anxious. Lilly has adjusted well to being back home and we attribute this to the good care she had while we were gone. We highly recommend Nahir & Mitchell for pet care. We would happily leave her with them 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.”
“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!”
“Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life, from large dogs (Golden Retriever, Labrador) and walking/feeding them everyday. To multiple cats at once, and other common pets. I pet sat for neighbors and family with a variety of pets: dogs, and cats. Including a cat that required twice a day insulin shots. Currently in my free time I volunteer as a shelter dog walker for Marin Humane. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time for walks, fetch, or just to hang out with your pet. Will be out of the house for a couple hours on Saturdays. I do not have a yard, but there are many great spots nearby for walks or hikes. I can also be flexible to the dogs schedule (food/walks). And since I work from home I can provide them with attention or a potty break at a moments notice.
“Christian was great taking care of our little Fig. He was very prompt at responding to our last-minute request and was a good communicator overall. It sounds like he has a lot of experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We will definitely be using Christian again!”

About: I’ve always had cats and truly love everything about them from playful kittens to gentle seniors. I bring 15 years of veterinary technician experience along with lifelong cat ownership, giving me both professional expertise and a deep personal understanding of feline needs. I currently care for my own 14‑year‑old diabetic cat, who is healthy and thriving thanks to consistent insulin administration, close monitoring, and routine‑based care. I have extensive hands‑on experience with insulin injections, oral and topical medications, Sub‑Q fluid administration, special diets, and recovery care. I’m especially comfortable supporting senior cats, cats with chronic conditions, and anxious or shy cats, using calm, low‑stress handling and patience to help them feel safe and secure. I’m equally happy being playful and engaging with younger, high‑energy cats, tailoring care to each cat’s personality whether that’s interactive play, quiet companionship, or structured medical routines. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly and appropriately in emergencies. You’ll also receive daily updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your cat is in knowledgeable, loving hands.
“Liza was great. She was able to watch my cat even without much notice. Though I was not able to meet her in person first, after chatting with her I was confident she was the right choice. I loved the pics she sent of my pet. I would definitely rehire her and recommend her to anyone.”
“Abbey has such a special ability to connect with my cat Figgy, who is always so shy with new people. Figgy loves spending time with Abbey, and I’ll book with her until the end of time!”
“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.”

“Jaylynn was absolutely amazing! I was very happy with her services and more happy that my cat REALLY likes her. Jaylynn provided me with updates and was prompt with letting me know if something was up. I’m pleased with the service and will be booking Jaylynn again!”
“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ariana provided for our 17-year-old cat, Matteucci, over the two weeks we were away. Ariana was fantastic, demonstrating true reliability by meticulously following every one of our senior cat protocols and medical instructions. The most amazing thing, however, was her patience and gentle approach in getting our notoriously unsociable girl to come out of her shell and actually socialize! This is a massive step for our cat, and it speaks volumes about the wonderful environment she created. We returned to a happy, healthy, and relaxed feline. We wholeheartedly recommend her for her exceptional skill, especially with challenging or senior pets!”

“Poppy ran happily to Sophie when I dropped her off after only meeting her once during the meet and greet. That says a lot since Poppy is an anxious little girl. She looked very happy when I picked her up as well. Sophie sent updates and photos and was very sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“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.

Everything felt easy—from finding their place to coordinating drop-off and pick-up. I’m so grateful to have found them. Highly recommend!”

“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”

“Nahir & Mitchell looked after our dog Lilly for three weeks while we were away. She had only met them once but from the beginning we could tell she felt comfortable with them. We received daily updates and photographs from them which was comforting, especially as she is an older dog and can be anxious. Lilly has adjusted well to being back home and we attribute this to the good care she had while we were gone. We highly recommend Nahir & Mitchell for pet care. We would happily leave her with them 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.”
“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!”
“Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life, from large dogs (Golden Retriever, Labrador) and walking/feeding them everyday. To multiple cats at once, and other common pets. I pet sat for neighbors and family with a variety of pets: dogs, and cats. Including a cat that required twice a day insulin shots. Currently in my free time I volunteer as a shelter dog walker for Marin Humane. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time for walks, fetch, or just to hang out with your pet. Will be out of the house for a couple hours on Saturdays. I do not have a yard, but there are many great spots nearby for walks or hikes. I can also be flexible to the dogs schedule (food/walks). And since I work from home I can provide them with attention or a potty break at a moments notice.
“Mary was a great sitter! She provided regular updates & pictures and took our pup on multiple walks throughout his weekend stay. Our dog tends to be more anxious and he seemed at ease in her care :) would highly recommend and we hope to use her services again soon!”
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.
About: I have loved animals all my life. I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I have owned and taken care of animals for 40 years. I have a way about myself that puts animals on ease and makes them feel welcome. I can not wait to take the best care of your loved and cherished pet. Thank you for your consideration. I am currently on a sabbatical so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I am available weekends, evenings, and mornings. I am available for long-term arrangements. I have a small fenced yard and I love to go on long walks. I give pets lots off affection and attention if they want it. I also just let them relax if that is what they need. Either way I am a very attentive caretaker.
“Our pup had a great time with Kim and his wife! They went for a few local hikes and hung out by the pool. Communication was super easy. Happy to have Kim watch our pup again anytime.”
“Jesse is a friend of dogs. He has a perfect situation for my dog who loves hanging out with other dogs and is always happiest when he has lots to do. I couldn't be happier with Jesse.”
“Our dog had an amazing time with Diana! We got frequent updates on their fun adventures from the dog parks to running around her house and helping with homework (lol), and much more! Honestly our dog has been so well behaved after spending ~6 days with Diana. Highly recommend to everyone!”
“Nancy was an absolute dream. She treated my pup like her own; tired her out with a very fun weekend, and kept her safe in an unexpected heatwave. I was apprehensive about leaving my dog but Nancy put ny fears at ease and shared so many amazing pictures and videos!”
“Ellen did a great job watching our standard poodle! She was great with communication around pick up and drop off as well as regular updates. Our poodle seemed content and well cared for when we picked him up.”
“Christine was incredible with my little French Bulldog Abby. She kept her for one week and it was the first time boarding her for that long so I was a little apprehensive leaving her with someone. Abby came away not wanting to leave, happy as a clam. Christine was great at communicating, sending photos, videos and updates. I have not reservations recommending Christine as someone to trust with you precious pet. She cares and is meticulous about details for your individual situation. Will definitely use again. Thank you Christine!”
