Avery was an amazing caregiver for Pebbles! She was very responsive, and was able to take Pebbles at the last minute when my other dog sitter flaked on me. Pebbles came home happy and well taken care of

Avery was amazing with Kona! She sent daily photo updates and was great with communicating. We felt so much more comfortable being away from him knowing he was being well taken care of.

Ivan was absolutely great!! He took a last-minute appointment and sent video's everyday. Malaika was happy the entire time I could see it through the phone. He is the only person that actually tried to build a bond with her, hence the only person that we will use for her.

Ivan was amazing with Pickles. He always gave me updates, and took him out for lots of walks, and even took him to the beach in San Francisco. My mind was at ease and I wasn t worried at all, as I know he was getting the love and care he deserves. I would definitely re book with Ivan. Thank you so much!!

Sausalito Wag Dog Festival

The Sausalito Wag Dog Festival is a yearly event that is sure to keep you and your furbaby entertained for hours! From the amazing vendors with their wag-tastic wares to the delicious food and drinks, you and your forever pal will find plenty to see, eat, drink, and enjoy.

Don't forget to take part in some of the great mini-events they have available, like the many workshops and contests on-site! The event is a great way to not only spend some time with your favorite pooch, but also to help out other homeless furbabies in need, as much of the proceeds will go to supporting the local rescues of the area.

Barbary Ghost Yacht Tours

If you enjoy the water and your best furry friend does, too, then why not take a mini-yacht tour with them? Barbary Ghost Yacht Tours is a pooch-friendly company that loves to give tours of the very waterways that have inspired literary artists for years!

Grab a tour and head out to see the northern bay, or take a ride across for the next baseball game you attend! They even have kayak tours, though we'd suggest taking those without your pawsitively awesome furbaby, as they may not be very comfortable in a kayak with you. No matter which you choose, you and your fur-ever buddy are sure to have a great time!

Lands End Trail

Get out and grab some brisk morning air with your furry friend while you take in some of the most idyllic scenery around on the Lands End Trail! This trail is noted for being beginner-friendly, with a few fairly strenuous points throughout the trail to give you a bit of a workout.

There are plenty of points of interest along the trail, which is entirely dog-friendly (leashed only) and offers views of the USS SF Memorial and El Camino del Mar. Remember to bring along a camera or your phone, as you'll want to get some amazing shots of the views! You and your furbaby will love this trail and all it has to offer.

Annual Valentine Run/Walk Race for Justice
