Barbara
Fairfax, California
Your pet will miss me.
I would gladly let Barbara take care of my pets again. Barbara stayed with my Frank and Fievel for a weekend. She spent time with them and remembered to take photos during her stay. Communication was excellent and the apartment was in the same state or even better when I returned.

Irina
Fairfax, California
Passionate travelers and pet lovers
Irina and Rus are the most amazing and fantastic housesitters. They are warm and wonderful people, who were careful and thoughtful in taking care of my dog and plants. My garden was in better shape when I came back than when I left! They took beautiful pictures of my dog to send me when I was traveling and I know she was so well looked after. I would highly recommend them to everyone as sitters and I am so thankful to them for watching after my house and dog! Thank you both!
Elizabeth
Fairfax, California
San Francisco area & international sitting.
Betsy was wonderful and we'd love to have her back to sit any time. She was responsive from the beginning, sent us a message when she arrived at our house, sent pics and cute updates on our kitties throughout the stay, and left our house looking great when we returned. Having her sit brought peace and ease while we were away.
Audrey

Audrey was a great sitter for my dog Gunner while I was away! She sent me updates, got in all fine & followed all instructions I provided her, and I came back to a clean apartment. I'd definitely recommend and would ask Audrey to watch my dog again!
Pamela
Fairfax, California
FOR ME, LIFE IS ABOUT FINDING THE BLESSINGS IN THE MOMENT!
We booked Pamela to care for our dog Gatsby here in Hawaii while we were in California moving our freshman son into the dorms at college. I had a lot on my mind and my heart during this time of big changes for our family, and Pamela alleviated a lot of those feelings by being so awesome as both a pet and home sitter. She communicated clearly and frequently leading up to, and during, the sit. We received lots of photos and messages about Gatsby that filled us with such joy while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and took him on lots of advenures. She took fantastic care of our car, which she used during her sit, as well as our home and yard. Everything was spotless upon our return. I recommend Pamela without hesitation - we are happy to have her as part or our Ohana (family). Mahalo, Pamela - I'm so happy our paths have crossed !
Cole
Fairfax, California
Local writer seeks quiet staycation with pets
Cole is quite simply: The Best! This is the 3rd time she has housesat for us. Our two cats always have a great time when she's here, and our house was cleaner upon our return than when we departed. Cole is a great communicator, texting us periodic check-in photos and updates. We will ask Cole to housesit again for us in the future without hesitation and we highly recommend her!
Jonathan

Digital nomad exploring new horizons and making new furry friends.
It was a pleasure to work with Jonathan, as always. He took wonderful care of our cat, making sure the cat ate well and was pampered. The communication and transition with Jonathan were smooth, and he made us feel at ease about our cat and home while we were away.
Glenn
Fairfax, California
Mature and Dependable Fellow Available for Home and Pet Sit
Glenn was communicative and kind; made sure we felt comfortable with his sit and sent photos throughout his stay. Pups were well cared for and so was our home.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Andrew
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Paige
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
kevin
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jim
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Cynthia
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

My dog almost died after boarding at the Marin facility last week. I am afraid the SF and Marin locations are owned and operated by the same people. As a responsible pet owner and for the safely of all of our beloved dogs in SF Bay Area, this needs to be said. She contracted bacterial pneumonia at the facility per the radiologist’s report. When I picked her up I could feel all the bones down her back and her eye was so crusted shut I thought she had lost an eyeball. She hadn’t been eating for days and no one bothered to call me and alert me to this. I could have picked her up four days earlier but instead spent $8k on a weekend stay at the vet. This facility is completely negligent.
I was staying in the area for a week at a neaby RV park and I was able to take my dog, Luna, here on a couple of different days so that I could go into San Francisco to do some activities that weren't as dog friendly. They were very thorough in making sure Luna had her vaccinations and had a good temperament, which helped me feel comfortable leaving her there with other dogs who had gone through the same process. I was really happy that they got us set up so quickly given that we were only in town a short while. And on both of the days I took Luna in, she was all smiles when I picked her up and then out like a light once we got home to the RV, so I know she had a good time. Great little place!
Our dog, Waylon, LOVES The Grateful Dog in Greenbrae. He gets very excited as we drive toward it each day. We, his parents, love it too. All the people who work there seem to really love dogs and it is reasonably priced. They even send me pictures!
Very accommodating. We came in from out of town and needed our dogs in daycare for the day. We were able to get all of our paperwork processed/verified the night before with a quick meet and greet in the morning. Our leashes did come home smelling/saturated with urine which was odd but nothing a good wash vouldnt help with. The pups were exhauselted from a full day of playing and went to sleep right after we got back and finished our night routine.
Our pup absolutely loves this place. They handle the dogs brilliantly Since it’s mainly an indoor facility, the pups do come home bearing a bit of pee odor, but it’s nothing a quick wipe down with doggy wipes can’t fix. (We keep them in our car) The staff is super kind and always greets our pup by name
We had an amazing experience here! Every Labor Day weekend our family treks from Sacramento to Bodega Bay. We always beat the heat and have a great time surrounded by family and fun! the only bummer is, the house we rent doesn't allow our four legged friends. In the past, we have always hired a house sitter (an 80 year old gentleman) who hangs with our boxer and makes sure he gets his food. But he doesn't get his two walks a day, nor does he get to just be his high- energy self. This year, we decided to look in to boarding him and we are so glad we did!! He went in excited and came out zonked!! He slept the whole drive home and has been just relaxing the last 18 hours! Which is great since we came home to 113 degree heat! Nothing is better for a naturally hyper pup than socializing with other pups! He had a great vacation alongside of us! Thank you to the Grateful Dog!!! What a stellar team!!!
I have two dogs that we take to The Grateful Dog for overnight boarding. I feel confident that my dogs are well-cared for there. The staff are friendly, professional, and seem really invested in the dogs. I appreciate that the facility is clean, open, and well lit. And the price is reasonable -- especially with the multi-day packages and multi-dog discount.
My dog Bella loves the Grateful Dog! They have been awesome with accommodating my last minute reservations when I have to travel for work, or out of State. I highly recommend them for boarding in Marin!
I've been a long-time, six-ish year, Grateful Dog client. As a puppy, my little min-pin, Izzy "Squirrel Dust," started going to the SF location. She pretty much grew up there, and I am so thankful to everyone (humans and dogs alike) that became part of her "pack." A couple of years ago, I changed jobs, and because I could work from home, Izzy stayed home with me. While at a dog park last fall, Izzy was attacked by a much larger, aggressive dog and her stomach was ripped apart. It was a very, long road to recovery for Izzy, the trauma she underwent was not only physical, but her temperament changed drastically. It got to a point where I couldn't bring her around certain people or most dogs. I was at my wit's end and then saw that Ernie, the owner of The Grateful Dog, was opening up a 2nd location in Marin. I gave him a call, and he developed a plan with me to re-socialize Izzy to get her back to how she was pre-accident. It was incredibly remarkable. After a couple of weeks with Ernie and his team at the new location, Izzy became her old friendly and flirty self again. I can't thank The Grateful Dog enough. From the very beginning, they have gone beyond my expectations and have brought Izzy and me closer, in many ways, I feel like they brought my dog back to life. Their new location is clean, spacious, and well run. I wish I could give them a 10 Star rating.
I think the dogs enjoyed it. They didn't say much, but they were fully exhausted... Lots of running and sniffing and whatnot, I'm sure. Special shout out to the Tennessee Jed lyrics on the door... Very cool, especially if that was really Bob. The employee didn't know (which was odd).

I’m so grateful to have a local pet food store. I prefer to spend my money locally, when I can. They’re a staple for our community. I finally utilized the dog grooming service, too. My homeless looking street dog came out looking like a cute pampered purebred. Thanks so much, Patty and Bill!!
Wonderful store, wonderful people, just exactly where you want to go when you love your animals and want them to have the best attention. Patty is also a great groomer, with lots of love and patience for all her furry clients. Can't recommend this store enough.
Took our dog in for grooming. They were gentle, but thorough, and did a fantastic job. You can tell they really care about the animals and customers they serve. Just good people and great service. All that needs to be said.
Great small business that has fantastic selection of quality pet food at a great price. Owner Pat lives in town and always has an eye out for community which includes finding good homes for needy pets! She will order what you need. I love having her store in our community.
These people are always so helpful. I have my dog food hand delivered from them every two weeks and they charge my account. It’s never been so simple to get my dog food. BETTER THAN AMAZON for pet supplies, pet food, pet treats, and of course we love our small businesses in Fairfax. This one is surely treasured by me, the fam, and our chihuahua.
We could make the richest person in the world richer think Amazon etc -and buy from online sources or...support a wonderful small local business that helps our cats and dogs find a great home! Nothing but positive experiences here in the past 7 years for me! They know a LOT about health and nutrition.
Wonderful establishment. Patty and Bill are amazing and love ALL animals. Always willing to help find the perfect food and/or situations for your fuzzy friends. Support your local business owners!
Groomed my dog. Reasonable price, good result. Very pleasant and courteous young lady behind the counter.
Four Paws is a GREAT store with everything you'd want for your friends with a tail. Wonderful people, too, who will help you with a smile.
Bill at For Paws is SO nice! What a cute little shop! He was just as sweet on the phone and had exactly what we needed.
