Our pup has anxiety leaving the house especially since CoVID. However when LegUp arrives she's rearing to go! Tail wagging and barking saying she's going with her pals! Thanks for all the love and joy you bring!

We have been using LegUp for the past 3 years since moving to Marin. Our Lola loves the owner and he's become a big part of our routine. He's always reliable and responsible and takes great care with his clients. He also does overnights while out of town which helps us feel really comfortable leaving. We recommend them to all our friends and would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a professional, caring dog walker and care taker.

Tobi has taken wonderful care of my boys. Both of his current proteges were naughty, naughty, naughty. Tobi's been patient with them and they love him.

I have been using LegUp since 2004 (after interviewing several other dog walking services) for daily dog walks and vacation pet sitting. I will never use another pet care company, as LegUp has it all. They are so caring, attentive, reliable and communicative. I never have to worry about my dog, I know she is always safe and well-loved with LegUp. The proof is in the dog: my pup can't wait to see her buddies in the back of the LegUp truck, she stands by the door wagging her tail when she knows its time to go, and she comes back happy, smiling and tired. If you are looking for the best pet care around, look no further. Give LegUp a call. You, and your pet, won't ever regret it!
