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!

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!

Highly recommend Sylvie. My 6-month old Golden Retriever, Bauer, stayed with Sylvie for 5 nights. It was my first time leaving Bauer, so I was definitely nervous. I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!

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.

About: Hello! I have cared for animals of every kind since I was able to hold a leash, brush a cat, and collect chicken eggs. I'm a Mill Valley mom, educator, and current owner of two sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I have owned cats, dogs, chickens, rodents and birds. I keep bees as an active beekeeper. I am experienced with medically fragile animals and am comfortable giving all meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have fostered for years with Marin Humane and Milo as well as professionally pet sitting through Trusted House Sitters and Home Exchange in addition to Rover. My home is warm, safe, child and animal friendly. My yard is fenced and my children (ages 8 and 14) love share in the caring of animals. We all care deeply about animals and will give yours all the love they need. We would love to have your dogs join our pack for awhile! I am an educator and off for the summer. I have plenty of time to care for your pets along with my own. My kids and I stay local and have adventures and relaxing downtime all summer long. I have a large, fenced yard that includes hill side. My house is warm, cozy, pet and kid friendly. My dogs sleep on my bed and I'm fine if yours want to also. We love neighborhood walks and throwing balls in the backyard.

This was the second time that Kathryn has watched over Peanut. We never have to worry when she watches over our kitten. Peanut is always so comfortable and playful with Kathryn - it makes it easier to enjoy our time away when we know she is in such good hands. Not only does Kathryn take great care of Peanut, our house is somehow always more sparkling when we return which makes for a great homecoming.

With lots of gentle attention, space and care, I have gotten the most traumatized, scared cat to come out - eventually. I am comfortable administering meds if they can be crushed or if the cat is okay with meds. I do not do injections.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise

About: I’ve had cats of my own for over 10 years and have provided care for many others through pet sitting. I’m familiar with a wide range of cat temperaments — from shy, low-maintenance cats to attention-loving, high-energy ones. I understand how to handle feeding routines, litter box care, medication (if needed), and how to respect a cat’s space while still giving them love and attention. I'm always happy to send daily updates and photos.

We were very fortunate to find Sophie. This was the first time we’ve left Pip with someone else for the day. Spending the day with Sophie and her sweet dog Holly in her lovely home was like a dream play date for Pip. We had no worries whatsoever. If the little guy could talk, I think he would be asking to go back to Sophie and Holly’s house.

Amber has a great chill way with dogs and is a reliable and cheerful person to work with. Would definitely use again.

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!

About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for dogs and making them feel happy and safe. I know how special our pets are and how important it is to leave them with someone who will treat them with patience, kindness, and love. I have over two years of experience caring for my own dog, which has taught me how to understand their needs, routines, and personalities. My home is calm, loving, and a place where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I will make sure your dog receives lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel at home. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I also like to send photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel peaceful knowing they are being well cared for. Trabajo desde casa y vivo en un hogar tranquilo y lleno de cariño con un patio grande donde los peluditos pueden correr, jugar o simplemente relajarse al sol. Mi perro es muy dulce y amigable y le encanta tener otros perritos cerca. Trato a cada peludito como parte de la familia y me aseguro de que se sientan queridos, seguros y cómodos durante su estadía. I work from home, so I get to spend a lot of time with furry friends and give them plenty of attention, love, and playtime during the day. I enjoy having them around, going outside with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I try to follow their usual routine so they feel safe and at home.

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.

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!

We just moved to the area and are thrilled to meet Halee! We did a quick meet and greet and then sent our dog for the day. I was particularly appreciative that when our timing changed, Halee went above and beyond to be flexible with us. She took our dog on really long walks, and he came home so happy! She even gave me some helpful tips, when asked, of how to train and support our dog. We liked her so much. We are already doing an overnight with her later this week. She loves dogs and was willing to price her services competitively which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her!

About: Having 2 dogs of my own I am well versed in every aspect of making pets feel loved and cared for! I have cared for pets for nearly 8 years house sitting overnight, taking pups for lengthy walks and doing check ins/ feedings. I make it my mission to bond with your pet and make sure they are comfortable. I am available for pet sitting when I am home from college. My schedule is mostly flexible with majority of my availability being in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I make sure that pets have the chance to warm up to me and that I put their needs first. I am comfortable with judging when a dog wants to go for a longer walk or head home early. Similarly with cats, I am able to gauge if a cat needs extra play time or if they want to be alone to nap. I will always check in with you as the owner before I sit, to make sure I know exactly what your pet needs!

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!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I genuinely care for every dog as if they were my own family. I've had the joy of owning both a tiny Chihuahua and a gentle Great Dane, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition, I volunteer as a dog walker for Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I regularly walk dogs with unique personalities, training needs, and routines. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's individual needs. Integrity and compassion are at the heart of everything I do. Whether we're out for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, you can trust that they'll receive attentive, loving care and be treated with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would give my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate my clients' needs and, whenever possible, walk their dogs at their usual times to help maintain a consistent routine. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I'm happy to accommodate your household preferences and routines, whether that's setting or disarming an alarm system, following a shoes-off policy, or honoring any other instructions that help your home run smoothly. I'm also experienced with crating and feeding dogs, and I'm comfortable administering medications when needed. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel safe, supported, and well cared for.

About: I co-owned two dogs with my neighbor as a child. My jobs was to walk and feed them. The first was a Saint Bernard who "decided" he wanted more space and fresh air and moved to the country. Later came a Golden lab. Then, we had milking goats, chickens, emus and rabbits... I have 2 cats I love dearly. They love walking around the yard showing me their favorite finds; usually it's a whole of some kind. I walk a lot on my own a Marin and can talk your furry well-behaved pet around your neighborhood and beyond. I am very dependable, always on time (unless major accident happens) and love all furry friends like my own pets. Available most days and/or week-ends between 8 AM and 9 PM for in home visits or dog or cat walking. Some cats like to go on walks too! Safety and the good physical and emotional health of your pet(s) are my priority. I will follow your health guidelines carefully and provide clean water upon each visit.

I appreciated meeting Sylvie in-person prior to dropping Bauer off. Sylvie sent a lot of pictures throughout Bauer's stay, showing them hiking and playing outside with other dogs, which made me feel comfortable knowing that Bauer was in good hands. My husband and I also had our flight cancelled and could not fly back until the next day. Of course my first concern was Bauer, but Sylvie was quick to respond and flexible to keep him for another night which we greatly appreciated! Thanks Sylvie!

About: Hello! I have cared for animals of every kind since I was able to hold a leash, brush a cat, and collect chicken eggs. I'm a Mill Valley mom, educator, and current owner of two sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I have owned cats, dogs, chickens, rodents and birds. I keep bees as an active beekeeper. I am experienced with medically fragile animals and am comfortable giving all meds, including subcutaneous fluids. I have fostered for years with Marin Humane and Milo as well as professionally pet sitting through Trusted House Sitters and Home Exchange in addition to Rover. My home is warm, safe, child and animal friendly. My yard is fenced and my children (ages 8 and 14) love share in the caring of animals. We all care deeply about animals and will give yours all the love they need. We would love to have your dogs join our pack for awhile! I am an educator and off for the summer. I have plenty of time to care for your pets along with my own. My kids and I stay local and have adventures and relaxing downtime all summer long. I have a large, fenced yard that includes hill side. My house is warm, cozy, pet and kid friendly. My dogs sleep on my bed and I'm fine if yours want to also. We love neighborhood walks and throwing balls in the backyard.

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!

Mary is kind, compassionate, and extremely attentive to the dogs that she cares for. We were a bit nervous to leave our two rescue dogs for 10 days for the first time, but Mary handled them with grace and ease, and took extremely good care of them. The dogs had so much fun and we could tell they were thoroughly enjoying themselves from the daily photographs that she sent. She followed all of our care directions and medication instructions wonderfully and was highly communicative throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Mary enough! She really is the best of the best of dog sitters.

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!

Rosa and Kevin were wonderful! They were super responsive, easy to communicate with and took such good care of our pups. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were traveling!

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!

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: Warm dog mom to a 13-year-old dachshund! I provide a structured, fun, and cozy environment with potty breaks every two hours and plenty of walks I'm home full time as I transition to my next job in the Bay Area. I can help with overnight stays, walks and general dog care! In my home, I provide a structured, cozy, and safe environment for pets. I have a small patio with no escape route, ensuring a secure outdoor space. When walking dogs, I’m highly aware of my surroundings to keep them protected at all times. I do not crate my own dog, but I’m happy to do so if that’s your preference. Every pup in my care receives the same love and attention my dog gets, regular potty breaks, and plenty of blankets to make them feel at home!
