Why Fetch! Pet Care?

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!

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. They got the hard luck cases who inevitably became “foster fails”–joining the household permanently instead of departing. She loves dogs but currently has two cats, one special needs. Black cats in particular are a favorite.

I have worked for Fetch since 2012 and I feel I have a gift for bonding with the animals I care for. Prior to Fetch I worked 23 years in the wine industry. I’m prompt, follow directions, courteous, and respectful of people’s animals and homes. I strive to be my best in all things I do.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, my name is Stefanie, I am a single Mom to three girls, Vaeh, Gia and my fur baby Luckie. I am a long time Petaluma resident, originally from San Francisco. I attended PHS and the SRJC. I work for an insurance agency, but in my free time, I love hanging with my kiddos and friends, snuggling with my Pup, singing with my daughter, going to concerts, comedy shows, & baseball games, traveling/road trips and anytime spent near water, is my favorite time! And my favorite food is sushi! Since I can remember, my family has always had dogs and cats, typically 2 or more at a time and even reptiles and a Guinea pig! What I would really love, is to one day have a large property with a boat load of dogs and maybe even start a rescue with my best friend (a girl can dream can’t she? 🙂

I love animals. And I am very well liked by animals. I have lived with many animals since I was a child. Previously, I had rabbits, chickens, and parakeets, and now I have two cats living at home. You can also touch reptiles. I also volunteer once a week with the Marin Humane Society. I am very happy to spend time with animals.

Hi! I am Maddy, an LA native who has found a home in San Rafael, CA. I have a faithful companion, Charlie the dog, and a trio of adorable couch-potato cats named Miles, Ani, and Bubbas. I love my pets and they fill my home with love and joy.

Hi, I am, as everyone checking out this site, an animal lover, big or small, lazy or crazy they’re all awesome. I’ve hiked many trails, fire roads and State Parks through out Marin, Sonoma & Mendocino County with my dogs…. Truly the best way to spend a day

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!

Hello I’m Jossie. I’m an animal lover and was a professional dog walker/cat sitter for 5 1/2 in SF. I recently moved to Petaluma and it ws a bitter-sweet move because I had to say goodbye to all my furry friends. But sweet because I hope I may become your dog walker or cat sitter and make new furry friends in this lovely town.-

I’m a life-long animal lover who has had experience caring for many types of pets over my lifetime including cats, dogs, small mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs. I have a degree in biology, and animals are one of my passions! I recently moved from my career in special education to spend more time with my family, including my young, active dog. 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. My first dog was an Alaskan Malamute, a beautiful animal. I am also a part time massage therapist.

My Father was a Veterinarian and I grew up in a rural farm like setting with lots of animals – Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Goats, Horses, Birds and one feisty Rooster. I’ve had pets all of my life.

I have had cat pals my whole life! From kittens to elder cats, I’ve taken care of them all. These are my buddies: Medium-haired tabby Claudie, who is 19 and needs fluids and medication to keep her kidneys happy, and Harry, an 8-year-old tuxedo cat who is naughtier than naughty! And, my husband Larry says I can’t walk down the street without saying hello to all dogs that are out and about. I’ve even lived with an Alexandrine parakeet! When not pet-sitting – I’m a newcomer to Fetch – I am a singing/voice and Alexander Technique teacher in San Rafael and a Marin music director. Looking forward to meeting your beloved companions!
