Dog Walker & Cat Sitter in Novato, CA | Planet Dog Walking & Cat sitting

Hi, I’m Patrick Crossan, owner and operator of Planet Dog Walking & Cat Sitting, providing professional dog walking and in-home cat sitting services in Novato, and Marinwood, California. I help pet owners feel confident knowing their pets are receiving thoughtful, reliable, and science-based care while they’re at work or away from home.

Specialized Care for Cats & Dogs

While I offer professional dog walking, I also place a strong emphasis on cat sitting visits and care. Cats are especially sensitive to change and unfamiliar visitors, and I take a calm, respectful approach that minimizes stress and supports their routine.

My services are built around:

• Positive reinforcement

• Safety-first handling

• Low-stress, in-home care

• Respect for each pet’s unique personality

Transparency You Can Trust

To give clients peace of mind, I use Time To Pet reporting, which includes:

• GPS-tracked visits

• Visit reports

• Photos and videos

Clear communication and transparency are essential to building trust — and trust is the foundation of great pet care.

Ongoing Education & Professional Community

Pet care standards evolve, and I’m committed to staying current. I regularly pursue continuing education and training, and am a member of local and national pet organizations including,The Pet Professional Guild, & Dog*Biz . also actively network with professional trainers and behaviorists to ensure I’m providing the best care possible.

My priorities are simple:

• Positive reinforcement

• Safety

• Consistency

• Client confidence
