“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!”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“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.”
“Kelly Ann was great with our dog Digby. She went above and beyond to give him great care and love. He's an older diabetic dog and she gave him 2 insulin shots a day and made sure he had plenty of water to drink. She took him on walks and gave him a lot of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Kelly Ann.”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Kinley was well cared for with Monica and Boady. Lots of hikes, sunshine and cuddles. Just like at home. Thanks to the pictures and updates I never worried and always knew my pup was happy.”
“Kevin and Arushi were great! We recently had our wedding in the area and wanted to have our dog nearby because he was our ring bearer. It was a very big day! Kevin and Arushi were very flexible, responsive, and coordinated with us and our dog handler. It was seamless and everything turned out perfect. Waldo came home a happy camper. Thank you both so much!”
“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.”
“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!”

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).
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!
“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“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!”
“Melissa is a great dog friend. The moment my dog Xico, who is very sensitive one, met with her he felt comfortable annd safe. And Archy, her dog is just as adorable as Melissa. Thanks”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Alex. She's professional and easy to communicate with, and most importantly she took very good care of our dog for over two weeks. We got regular updates with photos, and it was especially nice to see how well our dog got along with hers.”
“Ashish was an amazing Dog Sitter. I was leaving my eight month old puppy for 15 days and was very nervous. As soon as I dropped my dog off with Ashish I felt completely comfortable. He went above and beyond The duty and sending videos and pictures I could see from those pictures and videos that Ari was very well taken care of. I will definitely be using him for all my future trips. Ashish gave me peace of mind when I needed it most.”
“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and even horses. Growing up in a home where animals were part of everyday life (my dad worked in horse racing!), caring for pets has always come naturally. Though I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve been a dedicated dog dad for over 20 years, always having two dogs by my side. I walk my own pups every day and make all of their food from scratch—yes, they’re very loved (and very spoiled!). I’ve also regularly pet sat for friends and family and am confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I used to have a Great Dane/St. Bernard mix, so handling large or giant breeds is second nature to me. Whether you’ve got a gentle giant or a feisty little pup, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and lots of behind-the-ear scritchins! Let me help your dog get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to customize walks to your dog’s needs and energy level. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule varies a bit from day to day, but it’s consistent from week to week. I work some mornings and some evenings, but those shifts rarely change, so when you and your pup love me, it will be easy enough to work out a schedule that works for everyone! I am always off on Fridays and Sundays. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I am always happy drop in to your place for play or potty breaks. Also, as my pups are cared for when I’m not around, I am also available to stay at your home for short trips!
“Cecilia checked in on our cats for a week while we were gone and kept us updated on every visit, how the cats were doing, as well as pictures of them. Everything was great when we returned to happy cats!”
“Devon was very caring and earned mt trust right away. She was amazing at communicating and spending time with our cat. She took the time to get to know him and to clean up as well. She sent lots of great photos and kept us informed of what was going on while we were away. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I’ve worked with many different animals, including cats, dogs, birds, hamsters. I love working and caring for them. Patience is needed to make your furry friends feel comfortable. 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.
“Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!”
About: I've been around all types of furry friends since childhood and had a cat earlier in my adulthood. I will take care of them in your home so they have the comforts of their normal environment. Cats need stimulation same as dogs so would discuss all of the important details in advance. Will care for felines >1 year old.
“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”
“Leyla is very patient with Hana, she spends lots of time during the meet and greet to warm up with her. She took good care for my cat during the visit, would definitely ask her to look after my cat again if needed.”
“The boys enjoy Jill’s visits and with each time they warm up to her. This trip was longer than the last and I enjoyed getting all the updates, to know they are in good care. Thank you Jill.”
“Devon was so great with my cat Peanut and helped me out when my other sitter had to cancel last minute! She was very prompt with her responses, came on time to feed Peanut, and sent the cutest updates and photos! Felt super comfortable leaving Peanut in her care and would definitely recommend her services! Thank you!!”

“Veronica was an amazing cat sitter for my boys! Her communication was excellent from start to finish—she kept us updated regularly and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly paid attention to our cat’s specific needs and preferences, which meant so much to us. She even went the extra mile to pick up some packages and deal with unexpectedly running out of their food. On top of that, she was kind and gentle with our cats and gave great daily updates. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her services!”

“Ashley and Josh did a great job watching our dachshund Wally. We loved that they have dachshunds too and know their quirks and how to keep them safe. Wally had a great time and can’t wait to go back!”
“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: Hey, pup friend! I am so excited to meet and love on your pup. I am a UX/UI designer with a nonprofit and I work from home, so whether your dog needs a buddy for the weekend or a work day, I’ve got you covered. I have one sweet pup, Potato, a mini Australian labradoodle who never met a friend he didn't love - human or doggo or otherwise. If you're looking for a personalized boarding experience where your pet gets excellent care and comes back as happy-tired as after a full day at the dog park, I’m your gal. I love taking dogs on hikes near Mount Tam and to the beach when we're on our turf and I firmly believe in the importance of treats and scratchies. I live in an apartment by a dog-friendly beach so we’ll definitely be playing at the playa. I follow your rules so your pet has the same high caliber of care here as at their home. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times from 8 am to 8 pm. I take my pup on a daily walk and play with him pretty much constantly whenever he’s not snoozing. Please keep in mind, I only board pups over a year old and cannot board dogs who are not fully potty trained or who need to be taken out more frequently than every 3 hours to potty. I like to follow the rules you've established for your pets - if they aren't allowed on furniture, I’ll make sure that stays. If they are, they're welcome to snuggle on the couch with us. I work from home and take my dog to the beach daily as well as on frequent walks and hikes. We are pretty flexible around here! In my home, we follow your rules. Potato is used to snuggling on rye couch during movie night and on the bed overnight. We welcome snuggle buddies! I am home most of the day working so pets get LOTS of attention and love.
“Kevin was amazing! Not only did he save me in a pinch…but he took great care of Dezi and even sent me pictures and videos! Dezi can’t wait to go back and play with Milo again!”
“Jake and Sam took such kind and loving care of Ruckus on very short notice. This dad and daughter team made pick-up and drop-off easy, and our pup was so happy (and sleepy) from all the fun at the end of the day. Thank you both!”

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or a reliable sitter, I'll be able to do it! I am currently available full time and would be happy to hang out with pets whenever!

Animals have always been a big part of my life- from mini lop-eared rabbits to horses, and I now have a 8 year old Beagle, Finley and my 1 year old Beagle, Kenzie whom go just about everywhere with me. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets, administering medication, and working with deaf and blind dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I will provide patient, attentive care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I will also encourage good listening and good behavior with rewards while they are with me. For house sitting, I’m neat, and quiet, treating your home as if it were my own. Whether you need a trustworthy, reliable sitter or a dog walker, I’ll care for your house and pets as if they were my own. I am currently available full time. I am happy to come to your house and stay there if needed but would need to bring my beagle, Finley, with me. I treat my clients’ pets and homes with the same care and respect as I would my own. For pets, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also following any specific routines, dietary needs and medication schedules they may have. With extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those with special needs, I’m comfortable administering medication and providing extra patience and care for aging or anxious animals. For home care, I am neat, responsible, and quiet, treating each home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean and organized, water plants, bring in mail, and ensure everything remains secure. Whether clients are gone for a few hours or an extended period of time, they can feel confident that their pets and home are in reliable and trustworthy hands.

“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!”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Kinley was well cared for with Monica and Boady. Lots of hikes, sunshine and cuddles. Just like at home. Thanks to the pictures and updates I never worried and always knew my pup was happy.”
“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.”

“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sylvia and her family are all we hoped they would be. Attentive, reliable, caring, thoughtful, well-organized and responsive. Not only did they take wonderful care of our dog while we were away, they sent pictures daily and maintained a schedule I knew would keep our dog well. I could let go completely, knowing our put was in great hands AND having wonderful time. We will be back.”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“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!”
“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.”
“Ellen took amazing care of my German Shepherd mix Rio while I was away for a weekend. Communication was clear and easy between us, and I instantly knew that my dog was in good hands after our initial meeting. Rio got plenty of playtime and walks in and Ellen was great about sending lots of updates. I will definitely work with her in the future and recommend her to all other pet owners on this platform.”
“Sachiko and her kids were great with my big guy! He came back tired and happy. Sachiko was easy to communicate with and sent a number of updates. Would definitely book with her again”
“Elena and Holly were excellent sitters for my chihuahua mix Toaster. They were very communicative, responsible and Toaster was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I will definitely use them again!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
