About Us
Pet Care Professionals
LegUp Dog Walking & Pet Care is delighted to be celebrating our 16th year of providing award-winning pet care to Marin County residents. We provide services for all pets, including elderly or disabled pets and pets requiring medications.
Why LegUp?
Personalized Care
Our philosophy is that your pet is treated as if it were our own, not a commodity. Our goal is to exceed your expectations—and no matter what service we provide—we believe in personalized care and positive reinforcement.
Licensed/Insured
A+ Rating
We are a licensed business and are insured (pet and personal property) through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC. Additionally, we are a 13-year member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.
PET CARE PROFESSIONAL?
- Caring for pets is our profession—we are not pet care hobbyists like many who advertise on popular websites and apps.
- We are trained to know the first signs of pet illness or distress.
- While it may seem convenient to ask a friend or neighbor to help, using a consistent Pet Care Professional creates a bond between your pet and their caretaker.
- This long-term bond puts your pet at ease while their human is out of town or at work.
- We are insured—which is highly recommended when entrusting someone to care for your beloved pet and/or home.
I have a cat with special needs and had gone through 3 pet sitters inside of a year. A friend recommended LegUp and pet sitter problem solved! My cat is my baby and it’s reassuring to know she’s safe and secure when I’m away–keep up the great work.

Woof woof! Woof woof woof! (translated: that's our dog saying how much she loves her daily excursion with her walker and dog pals) Thanks for all you do.

I work from home so I know firsthand that my dog appreciates the time she spends with her friends–she literally sits by the window waiting for the truck to pull up! And I truly appreciate the walker/client communication and warm professionalism.

I’ve been a client since my two dogs were puppies—they are now 7 years old! They come back from their outing happy, tired—and clean. It’s comforting to know they’re in good hands.

Tail-Wagging Walks
Dogs that like exercising and socializing with other dogs will love our Group Dog Outings. Taking place rain or shine, we take a group of dogs (2-6) on leashed 45-minute walk along one of Marin’s many trails or bayside boardwalks. Rate includes pick-up, walk and drop-off.
Dogs that prefer to be walked alone will enjoy our 30-minute Private Dog Walk. Taking place in your neighborhood, the on-leash walk offers your dog an excellent way to exercise
Canine Companion Vacation Care
A great alternative to kennels if you prefer leaving your dog in familiar surroundings while you’re away. Whether it is in-home overnight care or two daily 30-minute visits, we will follow your routine as closely as possible. We will walk your dog in the morning and evening and will maintain food, water and medications to your specifications. We provide complimentary services such as bringing in your mail and newspaper, watering plants, alternating lights and blinds, and other reasonable requests. There is no charge for additional pets in the home.
Cat & Small Pet Vacation Care
Because dogs are not the only pets that require attention while their owners are away, we offer specialized vacation care for cats, birds, reptiles or other small pets. We will follow your routine as closely as possible and will maintain food, clean litter boxes/cages/bowls, and administer any medications your pet may require. We provide complimentary services such as bringing in your mail and newspaper, watering plants, alternating lights and blinds, and other reasonable requests. Rate is for one 30-minute visit per day.
