“If I could give Matt a 10 star.... I definitely would!!! He was so great with my lil pooch!! If you need a dog sitter.. and you want a hassle free, great sitter.. pick Matt!!!! We will be back. Roxie says woof!!”
“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.”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of our beagle for a week, despite us asking her last minute. She dealt with an issue where our dog had a potty training relapse and solved the problem by getting diapers. She gave our sweet girl lots of playtime outdoors at the dog park and beach. Sara is clearly an experienced dog sitter who takes great care of her customers. Thank you Sara!”
“Halee took such loving care of our Frenchie Avocado! She was very communicative the whole time, sending updates and photos which we loved. Location is very convenient, and her space is great for dogs; also close to several places to run around and socialize. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Alex was fantastic! Super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Hubert while I was on vacation. She sent photo updates every day and was a breeze to coordinate with. I would use her again and would highly recommend her if you’re looking for dog boarding.”
“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.”
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
“Rosa and Kevin (and their sweet dog Banksy) took great care of our 11 month mini Aussie for two whole weeks! It was his first time away from us and he is a bundle of energy, so we were relieved to have him in caring hands. He got lots of exercise at the dog park and playing with Banksy, and Rosa sent us pictures of him enjoying his “vacation” in Mill Valley. Rosa and Kevin were also very responsive to any questions we had. We will be back!!”
“Stella and Derek did an amazing job taking care of our sweet dog. She had a wonderful time with them. In addition to being wonderful caretakers, they were very responsive, easy to communicate with and sent detailed updates and pictures each day. I highly recommend them. Thank you Stella and Derek!”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the past 10+ years, including my own animals and multiple repeat clients. I’m experienced with cats who love attention as well as those who prefer space and independence.

“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!”
“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!”
“Laura diligently took care of our cats, adhering to their feeding schedule and also spending an abundant amount of time playing with them & giving them attention. Very communicative also. Thanks so much!”
“Anjali house sat for a week and took special care of all my kitties. One had recently been diagnosed with pancreatitis, so she had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she was eating okay and not stealing the kittens food. She sent lots of sweet pictures and kept me up to date each day. She also took great care of the house. Highly recommend.”
“Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her”

My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals.

I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages including puppies, senior dogs, and special dietary needs. My dogs are with my parents who moved overseas, so I miss having furry companions around.

I work from home and have a job with great balance and flexibility that allows me to take walks and dedicate attention and TLC to your sweet doggo.

Your dog will stay with me primarily inside and we will play, go out for walks, and visit the local dog park if desired.

“Halee was very welcoming and kind towards Teddy. He had a couple of long walks during his visit with her, which he loves to do. He was well-cared for and we appreciated her support”
“Adriana was amazing with my French bulldog, Kevin. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves dogs. She sent adorable updates and photos, and Kevin looked way too happy to be missing me. Frenchies come with big personalities, and Adriana handled Kevin like a pro. I really appreciated that she only takes on a couple dogs at a time, so each pup gets plenty of individual attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and very well loved dog. I would absolutely book Adriana again and highly recommend her. Kevin definitely got the doting on that he is used to at our home. Trust me, he would tell me if he didn’t. Thank you so much for taking good care of my little Kevi!”
“Matt has been so wonderful with our miniature dachshund Winston! He’s having some separation anxiety and finding Matt has been a god send! Winston comes home totally happy and is clearly getting lots of love while they hang! Matt is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Scott took wonderful care of Fred! Even though Fred was a little nervous and didn’t sleep much, Scott kept him busy with lots of walks and play time. He also shared many photos which is always a treat! We are glad we found Scott and will definitely book him again!”

“Caroline is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable about dogs! She’s also very responsive and warm. My pup looked so happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I look forward to having him back with her in the future.”
“Emily was so accommodating! I had a last minute cancellation in my daily walker and I reached out to her the evening before to see if she could watch my baby and she worked with my schedule! I will absolutely be contacting her every time I need day care or boarding in the future. Thanks so much Emily!”
“My dog had a fantastic time. Great first impression too, my dog came running up and instantly knew she liked Kathryn. We also got updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely recommend!”
“(I really appreciate your flexibility, Dennis, on the timing. I will endeavor to NOT need to do that in the future however.) Dennis gained my confidence almost immediately. This was our second time there, and yes my dog came home happy. But most important, she was VERY happy to go there! Ran me up the steps. YAY!”
“Ellen was amazing! I needed a last minute sitter for my dog Skipper while in town for work and Ellen was super accommodating. Skipper is an anxious boy and I was a little nervous to see how he would react. Turns out there was nothing to worry about! Skipper took to Ellen very quickly and once I was out of sight, he was perfectly happy to hang out with his new friend! I also received photo and text updates during his stay which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with a variety of different dog breeds. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for over 6 years and I am a big dog lover.

I live in a walkable neighborhood that I can take your pet on great walks outside and frequently!
“Ethan was excellent with our German Shepherd Rocky. He took a last minute request and our dog Rocky loved him! We received pics of the hike Ethan took Rocky on. Ethan was very punctual and communicated well. I also appreciate the one on one her gave our dog. Our pup was a happy boy! Thanks so much I am so very grateful 😊🐶”
“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!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dogs Laffy and Layla. They were welcomed so warmly by Miriam and felt right at home. Miriam is so friendly, competent, knows what she is doing - even with a quite shy and a very anxious dog. Her dog is so super sweet and got our big boy to quickly fall for her. All was relaxed.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful day with Etienne and Emilie. She had multiple walks and we got updates throughout her stay. She was in a great mood when we picked her up. We would not hesitate to leave Layla with this wonderful family again”

About: Hello, my name is Iman, and if you're thinking of how to say it, think of it like the second half of the word Pokemon! From taking care of my own dog, helping my elderly neighbors walk their dogs, and much more, I can handle many breeds from tiny pups to big dogs and I do it with a smile on my face because I love working with these animals. While I only have four official years of house sitting and dog walking professionally, all my life I have been surrounded by dogs and have handled them with care. I hope I get to be your dog's next friend! I have a completely free summer so catering to your pet and their needs will be my upmost priority, and I will absolutely have a blast spending time with them! Since I am fortunate enough to have a dog be a part of my family, I understand how much these tailed animals mean to us, so I always put their safety in mind. For example, If I were to walk them, I would always put myself between the street and them. I'm always checking my surroundings and considerate of other dogs potentially, and more. And things like this are the bare minimum. I hope you can trust me and it won't be a decision you will regret.
“Had Gage everyday this week, as our puppy was neutered and couldn't do his regular off-leash hikes. Gage was on time every day, and our puppy Murphy was very excited to see him each day! I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”
“Carter was great with my dog Nellie! She’s a senior dog with varying levels of energy depending on the day. I really appreciated that Carter took the time to do a meet and greet with us beforehand, he asked questions and listened and I felt really good about the walk we booked. When he came for the walk, he followed all my instructions and adapted to Nellie‘s needs for that day, making sure to have a little play time with her as well. He followed up with a thorough update. And I’ve already booked him for another walk!”
About: Hi, I’m a teacher on summer break who is in N. CA for all of June and July. I’m hoping to earn extra $ over the summer to offset travel expenses and get to spend time in nature while doing it. I love animals and think of this as a win/ win! The photos in my profile are of dogs I’ve cared for over the years (for friends, neighbors, family, and through Trusted Housesitters where I’ve stayed in people’s homes). I look forward to meeting you and your treasured pet. Free and flexible during the day and evening! During the summer months I don’t work. During the school year I’m free between 4pm - 10pm. I can not care for pets in my own home in June or July, as I’ll be traveling and staying with friends. I am available to walk your pets!

About: I'm the friend who everyone asks to take care of their dog (including senior dogs). I love our furry friends—and appreciate every families trust. I raised a Bichon puppy and later cared for her as a 12 year old senior dog. I have fostered and helped to train 4 rescue dogs through the Milo Foundation and frequently pop by to volunteer walk Milo dogs. I am an executive who works from home so I am at the dog's side non-stop and have the flexibility to take several walks a day. I'm also a 5 minute drive to Blackie's Pasture for longer walks. I have a super clean home. The dogs are allowed everywhere. I have a very clean, safe home. I also have access to popular dog parks/walks. I pay close attention to dietary restrictions, etc. And when it comes to passing another dog on leash I always ask if the dog is friendly. I'm a mom to an 11 year old—I care for dogs like they are kiddos.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including Bernese mountain dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m 26, live in Mill Valley, and work as the general manager of two restaurants in San Francisco. Although my schedule can vary, I’m generally available in the mornings, on weekends, and for overnight care. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing fetch at the park, or simply relaxing and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Since I’m not able to have a pet of my own right now, caring for other people’s dogs and cats is especially meaningful to me! I currently work as a restaurant general manager, so my mornings are usually open before I head to work in the afternoon around 1-3. I typically finish around 9–10 p.m. and am available for early-morning visits, overnight stays, and weekends. My schedule can vary slightly, but I’m happy to communicate clearly and coordinate a routine that works best for you and your pet. I’m unable to host animals in my home, but I’m available for pet sitting in a client’s home. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable around animals of different sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide regular photos and updates.
About: I've loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. Since middle school, I've helped take care of dogs by walking them, bathing them, feeding them, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. Being around pets has always been something I enjoy, and I treat every animal like they're my own. Right now I live with two dogs, Taco and Balu, so taking care of dogs is part of my everyday routine. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I’m currently unemployed because the restaurant I worked at unexpectedly closed, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be fully present and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines. I know that pets are happiest when they can stick to what they're used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and fresh water throughout the day. I'll treat your home with respect and keep it clean while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

Rosa and Kevin were also very responsive to any questions we had. We will be back!!”

Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be fully present and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines. I know that pets are happiest when they can stick to what they're used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and fresh water throughout the day. I'll treat your home with respect and keep it clean while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Sam always takes the best care of our Benny! He’s a puppy and definitely requires a bit more attention— Sam is super attentive and always makes a point to update us throughout the stay. Very reassuring for a first time pup parent :)”
“Jake was a fantastic sitter for my dog. We were able to arrange a meeting with him and our dog before leaving on vacation which made the drop off much easier. Jake was really engaged with our dog, and sent us photos and provided updates while we were away. All in all we felt our dog was in great hands and had a wonderful stay away from home. I would absolutely recommend Jake to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
About: Shelby grew up with Labrador retrievers ever since she was 5 years old. She has experience with medication administration, ear cleaning, walking, and more. We have a 2.5 year old dachshund who we crate, potty, and leash trained. We are both dog lovers with some of our friends saying Shelby is “the most dog obsessed person I’ve ever met.” We will strive to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible while respecting any rules and boundaries you have in your own home. We absolutely love every kind of dog and would give your fur baby 5 star care ⭐️ We both work from home, so our schedules are very flexible. We take our dog out 3 times a day for potty breaks and several walks a day. We can really take your dog out whenever is needed, as one of us is always available. Our home is very, very dog proof. Our dog loves to eat everything so we’re very mindful of keeping things tidy. Especially with larger dogs, we put away our dogs smaller toys, so that there’s no possibility of them being ingested (there’s the labrador experience haha!) we will be around and loving your pet 24/7 while they’re in our care ❤️
“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 ❤️”
“Ellen did a fantastic job watching our pup for the weekend. She sent updates and pictures throughout and was extremely responsive. Would absolutely recommend and trust Ellen!”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
