I started my career as an international human rights lawyer in New York City, my hometown. After my family made a move to the Bay Area several years ago, I fell in love with the warmth, openness, and appreciation for nature found within the community here. I set out to find a new career that would allow me to provide a service directly within my community, allowing me to work with my neighbors and friends. Pet care was a natural fit, as I find deep enjoyment in working with animals. I approach each individual pet with respect and affection, and truly aim to provide the highest quality care to pet owners throughout the Bay Area


Over the years, as my pet care business has expanded, I have brought on several wonderful pet care professionals to join my team. To read more about their backgrounds and experience, take a look at our Meet the Team page.


I have years of experience working with a range of animals. Growing up, I raised cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, reptiles, and trained seeing eye dogs. I also have experience working with farm animals such as chickens, ducks, and sheep. I have cared for pets through the full range of life experiences, from bottle-feeding newborn kittens, to administering medicine to elderly pets nearing end of life.


Whether you are working a busy schedule and need a regular sitter to give your pet daily feedings and walks, you're going on vacation and need someone to check in on your pet and show them some love and attention, or you'd prefer to have someone house sit with your pet while you are away, I can provide responsible, loving care to your pet.

If you are a pet owner, then you already know that time spent with your pet is precious. Every minute you get to spend with your pet is fun and beneficial to you and your furry friend. However, if you are like most pet owners, you find yourself away for most of the day at work and it can be easy to become busy, not having as much time for your pet as you would like. Part of quality pet care is providing your dog with time outside, walking and enjoying the sunshine. If you do not have time to walk your pet on a regular basis, then they are missing out on much-needed exercise time.

So, what is the solution? What you can do to provide quality dog care for your pet? An essential option that you can integrate into your schedule is dog walking services. With a private dog walking company, you have a professional that will arrive to your home at a scheduled time and provide your dog with time outdoors. Your pet will be able to walk and get the exercise needed while you still have time to get work done or take care of other home needs.

Rebecca Marlin Pet Care offers professional dog walking services. When you hire a professional to provide dog care for your pet, you have an individual who is experienced with dog breeds and knows how to care for your animal. Exercise will be provided, and you can feel safe knowing that your pet is receiving quality care by an individual who enjoys animals. Trusting the person caring for your pet is important. Be it with dog or cat care, you want to ensure that your pet will be watched over, just as you would.

When you find yourself too busy to give your pet adequate outdoor time, consider hiring a professional dog walking company. With the help of an expert, your pet will receive the love and attention they deserve, going outside and having fun in the sunshine with a safe and trusted individual who will care for your pet as if it were their own.

We offer our dog walking and pet sitting services in the San Francisco Bay Area including Oakland, Berkeley, Kensington, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, and Hercules.

Jenny is an amazing cat sitter! We got two kittens in the fall of 2020 so they have grown up to be pandemic hermits. She was very patient in coaxing them to come out and soon enough they were sitting in her lap. Their older sister adores Jenny as well. She was very thorough in her initial interview and is great with communication in scheduling and while we are out of town. She always sends lots of cute photos and gives really good updates. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Jenny is so caring and great with animals. She regularly walked our dog bread, and easily accommodated bread’s reactivity with other dogs. I felt like she cared for bread like she was her own dog. Jenny also stayed with bread on numerous occasions. She always left our home cleaner than she found it, and would update us regularly with pictures. Jenny has such a way with animals. I would not hesitate to recommend her. It can be hard to find a person who understands how important your pet is and wants to care for them like you do. Jenny is that person. I wish we could take her with us when we move across country!

Jenny is kind, reliable, and wonderful with our husky. She truly cares about him. We get photos and updates from walks... And she spoils him rotten - got him lots of toys at Christmas time. If you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further.

While I was out of town, Sky came over to my house and did two check-ins daily for my dog. She took the best care of him and kept me updated on how he was doing. I could tell how happy and well taken care of he was with her by all the adorable pictures she sent me of him. I would highly recommend Sky, Perry Dog Mother, for all your pet check-ins and dog walking needs.

Sky is so amazing with our boys. She walks them and works with the puppy on leash training etc. Our oldest is a dead pit/Dane mix so her love knows no bounds. The cutest pictures also come our way. Use her all the time!

Sky has been walking my dog for about a month and a half now. My pup absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she arrives. I swear on the days she doesn’t come she is checking the outside gate for her. Sky also sends the cutest photos from their walks which is a nice touch. I highly recommend!

My name is Sky I offer dog walking and pet sitting services in the east bay. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Reliable & Insured. Please contact me for availability and pricing.
