Customer Reviews
Marie is amazing! In 3 lessons we went from experiencing regular frustration when walking our 7 year old collie mix to pleasant walks and solid recall. A huge difference thanks to Marie's clear and specific instructions. - Santa Rosa, CA - November 2025
- Daniel BMarie is a treasure! She met with a group of us every week and helped us become better dog parents. We were all at different stages with our dogs - who ranged from puppy to senior - but Marie took the challenge in her stride and was patient, skilled, flexible and very kind. We all feel that we have learned so much that we plan to continue with monthly sessions. Now for the fun part - Marie is helping us to teach our dogs tricks. Thank you, Marie, you have made such a difference. - Oakland, California - September 2025
- Ann CThere's so many wonderful things to say about her. Just start off with she's very punctual, she solved every problem I had pet related, she was direct but also kind. She really knows her stuff when it has to do with dog training. She has a lovely personality and it's very clear that she loves what she does. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone I know who needs a dog trainer and I will be reaching out to her for a few more sessions in the future. - San Francisco, CA
- Ally PMarie was great at honing in on and articulating exactly what my dog needed! I am much more confident that my training goals are achievable after our first session.
- Nikolas M
Our initial training consult was very informative. Marie is professional and helpful. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. The training space is extensive, well equipped and maintained. We are looking forward to the board and train to kick off the next phase of training with our 10month old pup, Milo.

An in-home pet sitter visits the pet parent's residence to care for animals while their family is at work, traveling, or otherwise unavailable. Care is arranged around each pet's routine, household, and individual needs. Services offered by Marie Miller may include:
Feeding and Fresh Water: Providing meals, fresh water, and feeding according to your instructions.

🌙 Drop-In Visits, Extended Visits, and Overnight Pet Sitting
In-home pet sitting can be arranged in different ways depending on your pet's needs and the sitter's availability.
