Why Fetch! Pet Care?

I have been a pet parent for almost 25 years and can’t believe I ever lived without furbabies. Some of my greatest joys and most important lessons have come from the animals I’ve called family. I joined Fetch Pet Care because I realize I want more of the love and laughter you can only get from these precious creatures. I feel my experience with my dogs and cats has given me the kind of patience and understanding that every animal deserves. It is my honor to care for another family’s pet.

Richard has lived in Central Marin for nearly four decades. He has cared for multiple dogs and cats most of his life. His current meditation partner is a twelve-year old Maine Coon mix named Zeus.

As a child I remember one of my first pets being a bunny. I quickly learned to love and care for pets. I grew up with pets in the household. As I got older friends and family have always reached out to me to be the ones to love and care for their for babies🙂. It brings me joy being able to care for a special member of families

Hi, my name’s Brett Kobayashi. I’m 25 years old, and I’m currently a student at College of Marin. Born and raised in Marin, I’ve lived almost everywhere in the county, from Sausalito to San Rafael. I grew up with 2 dogs, an Australian shepherd named Nala, and a black-lab border collie mix named Basil. I’ve also had 2 cats, an old gray tabby named Suki, and a three-legged black cat named Marshmallow. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and since the animals I grew up with are unfortunately no longer with us, I hope that I’ll get the chance to pass that love and care on to your animals!

“Hi, I have been pet sitting since 2018 for fetch Pet Care and have experience with dog walking, cat sitting, live in services in client’s homes, doggie daycare and boarding. I even boarded a client’s dog for almost a year. I recently moved and I am currently living on campus at UCSC but work on Holidays and Weekends in the bay area. Animals are my passion above everything and they are the source to my happiness. I love going above and beyond when taking care of them and making them as happy as I possibly can like they were my children. I used to have an American Eskimo, her name was Snowy. Thanks for reading!”

I have always loved animals and was raised with dogs. I appreciate each one for their unique qualities as every dog or cat I have ever been with is one of a kind. I began pet sitting in 2016 and worked with private clients for several years. I began to work with Fetch Pet Care in 2021. I am a caring, and responsible sitter, I take my job seriously, and I am a responsible and loving pet sitter. I will treat your pets like they are my own and will keep your home clean and tidy.

Raised in Marin, Becky has been a lover of animals and pets all her life. There is film of her creating and petting a “snow poodle” when she was about 5 years old. Her family always had pets and fostered dogs for various non-profits and the Humane Society.

Black cats in particular are a favorite.

This SF native has lived in So. Co. most of my adult life. My first job was answering phones for Pets Unlimited Animal Hospital in SF – age 15. We always had pets in our home – dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, snakes. I was the camp director for one summer at the Marin SPCA. I also tended to the critters in the Animals & Aquaria department at the Carnegie Science Center. I’ve cared for llamas, goats, and horses while living on the property with them. I love pet-sitting because I get to see the best part of people and their love for their animals.

I have loved pets since I was a little girl. I begged my parents for cats and a dog so I grew up with them throughout my childhood. When I got older, I adopted an American Eskimo. I loved walking with her and playing at dog beach. Spending time with pets makes me so happy! I live in San Rafael and I am experienced with dogs and cats!

WHY I LOVE PETS! Rudy makes me laugh which is my favorite thing to do. Clyde teaches me patience which is my favorite human quality. Bentley and Molly appreciate the finer things in life. The kitties Macy and Stu improve my detective skills as I search for them in their big house. Hoss and Buddy are endlessly comforting. Monkey is pure sweetness. Clash is my hero. Luna’s face could launch a thousand ships.

I am recently retired and happy to have an opportunity to visit kitties and/or dogs, walk dogs and sometimes sit overnight for folks. Being a homeowner who travels sometimes, I have had pet sitters stay at my home and I know what I’d like to see in my house and pet sitters, so I am conscientious in how I am in someone else’s home, with someone else’s beloved fur babies. I am a kitty and dog lover of many years and currently have one cat whose name is Bodhi. He’s been with us for over 10 years( a rescue from Marin Humane),his elder step sister, a beautiful Himalayan named Prema, transitioned out of her body last thanksgiving. She was 20.. I have been a dog walker at Marin Humane for 10 years, stopping at the beginning of the pandemic 2 years ago. At Marin Humane it was widely known by the other Dog Pet Pals that I worked really well with the “shy and shut down” dogs so I was frequently asked be with them..But truth be told, I love all dogs!…and cats! Nirmal

We love going to parks and trails! I feel privileged to be able to care for others’ pets and give them all the love and attention they need, whether it’s going on a beautiful hike or cuddling on the couch.

I have loved and worked with animals for many years, dogs, cats, and birds. Currently I live in Tiburon and don’t have a pet, which is all the more reason I love sitting for all of the lovely pets I meet through Fetch.
