Introduction

We have 3 friendly dogs, 1 fat cat, and 2 parrots. We offer a nice home in nature with private yard, hot tub, near China camp national park and the Bay, yet close to San Rafael and all the restaurants, movies and other cultural events. San Francisco is about 1/2 hour away depending on traffic.

We prefer sitters who are home part of the day, as not to leave our dogs alone too long. While they can get in and out by themselves in the backyard, they are used to us working at home so it would not be appropriate for someone gone every day all day long. We can provide a backup dog walker if needed....

We prefer someone who is able to drive and preferably has their own car in case of emergencies. Our vet is usually able to do home visits, but you never know (our animals are currently all healthy). I like to interview people on skype or in person (if local). Ideally if you would like to pet sit for a weekend before committing to a longer period , we are able to do that too. You will never be lonely with our menagerie. Unfortunately we cannot host another pet. We are close to San Rafael with many great restaurants, movie theatres, farmer's market, music venues etc.... Marin County is a beautiful place, and San Rafael is only 15 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. When you apply, would you please enclose your first and last name and your location and website if self employed. As of late a few sitters from this site have been adverse to move in a few days early to be trained. That is necessary the first time. It usually takes one day and one overnight to get into the groove before we leave early the next day, unless you are nearby and we can meet on other days before. We would love to have a repeat person who likes our area and we could work around your schedule. Thank you, Merci. + More info- Less info
