About: Hi! I have been dog-sitting and walking for 5 years now and before that I have never been without a pup nearby! My house has always had at least 2 dogs (right now there are three!). I have experience with brand new puppies all the way through senior dogs. I am comfortable with puppies still working on potty training and older pups who need regular medication doses. I have a pretty spacious car to take your doggie on excursions if you would like!! I love to hike and enjoy the outdoors and would love to bring your pup with me (heat permitting). I will provide your pup with tons of exercise and attention! I have a ton of free time and availability for your pup, I won’t be working for the rest of the summer, so your dog will be my priority!! I wake up pretty early (pre 7am usually) so all potty breaks and early meals will be attended to. I am also happy to adjust my schedule per ur pups needs. I have nothing but love and patience to give your pups!! I am a major dog lover and want to make sure your pup feels that love. They are always allowed on the bed and couch for snuggle and of course can have their own space should they need it! I am an attentive caregiver and love walking and exercising dogs so they will never have a dull moment with me. I also love bringing them around on errands so long as it is not too hot and you are comfortable with it!! I am also responsive on my phone and happy to send pictures and videos so you can always reach me and your pup!!
“Garrett agreed to walk my dog in a short notice. He took good care of him and though Jager looked exhausted after the walk, he seems super happy as well! Will surely book again!”
“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”
About: I grew up with two Australian Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs—their comfort and unconditional love are unmatched. I’m a dependable and caring person, and my family and friends have always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, knowing they’re in great hands. I work from home around two-three days a week and would love to walk dogs before work, during lunch, and after my work. I am also available on the weekends as I typically stay local to the area! I believe that just having time to interact with animals is so special and something I really miss as my family dog doesn’t live near me anymore. I understand how special your dog is to you, and I’ll always respect any guidelines you have to ensure their safety and happiness. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident when your dog is in my care. I’m very experienced with leash walking and love reinforcing good behavior with treats and belly rubs!
About: I am a 24 year old tax professional in the Menlo Park area. I am a trustworthy athletic dog sitter/walker with a love for animals. I am available weekday afternoons and weekends. I used to play college softball so I am physically fit/active and love to go on long walks or runs multiple times a day. I grew up with two of my own dogs, a chocolate lab (105 lbs) and a Yorkie Maltese mix (15 lbs) , that are two very different sizes. They required me to feed them three times a day, let them out to use the restroom every two hours, walk them at least once a day, and play fetch with a ball or frisbee to get them tired enough for bed. These skills are some of the things I would be doing with the dogs I sit/walk. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. Each day, I make time for feeding, walking, and playing with my pet to support their health and happiness. I also handle weekly tasks like cleaning and monitoring their well-being. I'm available on weekends, which gives me extra time to focus on their care and spend quality time together. I like to follow the rules of the home that I house sit for. Keeping the same schedule and rules usually helps the transition for the pet and minimize any form of separation anxiety for the dogs.
“Lauren is clearly a dog lover and dedicated to taking care of my dogs. She is very attentive and eager to learn as much as she can to best look after my dogs - keeping them safe and happy.”
“Tillana was great and she gave my dog a lot of TLC, which he needed. She also got me out of jam and was available on a moment's notice. She sent me detailed updates of their walk and is very generous. Riley took to her in record time and was sorry to see her go when she dropped him off. Highly recommended!”
“Cesia is always very caring and attentive to my Kolachi. She treats her as her own and makes her feel loved. Cesia is also very supportive of my neuroses with my dog or new kitten and is always accommodating to any of my needs. I rebook time and time again. Thank you.”
“Yeri has been a wonderful dog walker! Super communicative and very easy to work with. Our dog Tala who is a new rescue always comes back looking so happy after walking with Yeri. I feel safe leaving my dog with her and know she will look after her like her own pet.”
About: I've grown up around animals as long as I can remember, and since moving out for college I am missing having animals around. I am comfortable with all dog breeds from small to large, young and senior, and am also able to take care of cats, rodents, and reptiles. Most of my life I had a mastiff so I am comfortable with larger breeds and now have a bulldog and jack russell terrier back home. I can provide reliable loving care, when you can't be there I am a student athlete at a local college. Be that as it may, I can always make time for cuddles, playtime, and potty breaks within my schedule. I currently live in the dorms where your pet will have space to relax as well as a beautiful campus for long walks and large grassy areas for them to play.

I hired Valentina for weekly walks with my dog and my mother's dog. She has been so very helpful and is very responsive! I love that she sends pictures of the dogs during the walks, and my mom is especially happy since she is unable to walk her dog regularly.
I am a repeat customer. Danielle listened and saw what needed to be done, sent pictures, and I had a calm, happy dog upon my return.
Chaarushena has been wonderful with our 8 year old dog who gets very anxious with new people. She’s patient, reliable, and clearly understands dogs well. Our dog took some time to warm up to her, but by the end of the visit was happy to go on her walk. Chaarushena has a calm, confident approach that we really appreciated. We’re would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help walking their pup!
Anastasii was great! Both walks she went above and beyond to keep us updated. We felt our dogs were in good hands!
