Hello! My name is Kim and I am from Marin County. I have two dogs of my own, and I also have extensive experience working with animals including dog daycares, house sitting, volunteering and much more! I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2016 and I am currently working to pursue my dream of helping animals. I would love nothing more than to help out by walking your special pups and giving them the love and attention they deserve! :)
I am from San Rafael, California and I am currently an undergraduate student at UC Davis studying biochemistry. I love working with animals and I spent two years volunteering with Orphan Dog Rescue. I helped with adoptions and fostered dogs. I walked, bathed, and handled all different kinds of dogs during my time there. I adopted a puppy from the rescue as well so now I own a 2 year old Shih Tzu as well.
"Thank you Aaron. Matilda was exhausted after your walk! She normally has a lot of expendable energy, even after a walk. She is peacefully flat out asleep now."
"Thank you so much! Kylie went above and beyond. I hope she can walk Bruce again soon :))"
"Jeslyn was great with my very shy dog. He was able to take a walk with her. "
"Hi Jeslyn, thanks for walking Izzy! There is actually a trailhead right by the basketball hoop, so you won't have to walk in the street :) and can walk in the woods instead. Yeah, she is often shy at first and then warms up (total side note, she isn't very into outfits and clothes or bandanas like other small dogs). Sometimes she needs to be convinced that a walk would be better than a belly rub :) thanks again!"
"Cindy has an amazing way with dogs. Celine and Philippe really look forward to walks with her. I feel totally relaxed when they are on their walks with her."
"Cindy has been wonderful with my dogs! Today I did a 1 hour walk but instead of walking the whole time she spent 25 minutes playing ball with my dog ( by my request). My dog had such good exercise she grabbed her ball and ran back to my apartment to go rest. She has consistently dealt with my schedule changing and my last minute walk requests! Thanks so much for being such great company to my pets while I'm away!"
"Mariana was prompt, courteous and professional. Jaxon loved her immediately. "
"Thanks for a fun walk, Juliette! Kai is indeed a sweetheart and maturing nicely with guidance from experienced Wag Walkers! Very helpful for a new pup parent such as myself!"
"Aaron is a personable guy and acts professional. He has an honest way about him by his mannerisms and I believe you can trust him with just about any of your dogs needs."
"Thank you for jogging with her and playing fetch! Should have warned you she loves the water, thanks for drying her off!"
San Rafael best known outdoor area is the China Camp State Park, which surrounds the Chinese American shrimp-fishing village and salt marsh in a historical preserve. The 1,500+ acre park is home to hiking, mountain biking, open spaces, and beautiful scenic views. Be careful, though, China Camp State Park hosts an array of wildlife including owls, coyotes, deer, raccoons, and many other dog-annoyed critters.
If you're opting for something a bit more low-key, McInnis Park is great for walking and hanging out with your canine companion. Not technically a dog park, McInnis hosts expansive wetlands, a small pond rover can swim in, and a few large lawn areas.
Dogs love hiking French Trail Loop, a scenic, shaded, loop through Redwood Groves that returns through the Steam Trail. There are a few options along the hike to make it shorter or longer depending on how your pooch is feeling and how isolated you want to be. You will be without cell service, so be sure to pick-up a map at the park at the Skyline Gate Staging area near Pine Hills Drive.
