Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Crescent Park, Palo Alto

“Eugene was amazing—she is the first person I've met outside of behaviorist circles who truly understands dog reactivity. Our dog Lou is scared of all strangers, loud noises, and sudden movements, and he takes a long time to warm up. Most people accidentally scare him by addressing him directly or (as Eugene would put it) "looming," but from Day 1, her instincts were exactly right. At the meet and greet, she exited the room backwards, which I had never seen but which Lou preferred. Eugene consistently balanced encouraging Lou to come closer with advocating for his boundaries. I would trust Eugene not just to follow, but to help make, a care plan for Lou.”

“Nicole was perfect! And she took great photos of my pets while I was traveling. It was so comforting to receive her updates. Thank you so much for looking after everyone!”

“Lavanya was readily available to communicate with me about our in-home check in. She also helped me with another booking issue and went above and beyond!”

“Amazing, felt super comfortable with being away from the kitties and they seemed very comfortable with Molly! Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my pup. She is kind, great with dogs, and reliable. I will definitely book her again for future needs and you should too!”

“Erika N. is a great choice for taking care of pets. She loves animals a lot and knows how to make them feel safe and happy. Erika is very careful and always makes sure the pets are well taken care of. She's really good at connecting with animals, making her a perfect pet sitter.”

“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”

“As always Stephanie was amazing with both my cats. Stephanie would consistently send me pictures of them and they always had the biggest smiles with their belies up 😺”

“Yee Ping is great! She made our dogs happy and comfortable right away. They loved spending time with her and playing fetch in the yard. She even tailored her visit schedule to make sure they got to go out at good times.”

“Super thoughtful, came to meet the cat and get instructions beforehand. Played with my cat, left detailed notes. Clearly loves animals. Would use again.”

“Juna is the sweetest human being, and she was the sweetest caregiver to our precious dog Kala. Juna kindly walked her and we were so thankful and relieved that Kala enjoyed her time with Juna. Dogs truly have a sixth sense about people, and Kala knew that Juna was a great person as Kala kept wagging her tail. Thank you so much Juna for your kindness to our pup! :)”

“Tammy is great! Always on time - sends great pictures. Very polite and kind. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica has been amazing with my babies! She is my go-to person when I am traveling and need someone trustworthy to check in on my little ones. Traveling and leaving pets behind is always hard, but people like Jessica make it a little less difficult! Your babies are in good hands with her!”

“Adélie was wonderful! She was responsive and attentive to my cat and showed that she cared about him. She provided me with lots of updates and photos and was flexible and easy to work with. I will definitely ask for her to help care for my cat again!”

“I can’t say enough about Riona’s level of caring and responsibility towards my dog. She goes out of her way to play and snuggle before walking him such that he is so excited to see her. My dog is a big boy and Riona was able to manage him with his walking collar. I would absolutely recommend Riona for dog walking and dog sitting services.”

“Lovely and professional! Would book again.”

About: I've had the pleasure of having pets for the last 20 years of my life. While new to Rover here in CO, I was a Rover sitter in Denver for 3 years and watched hundreds of dogs and while in Seattle, was a dog walker. Now in Palo Alto, we have our 2 year old professionally trained service dog Juniper and 15 year old declawed cat Izzie. The townhouse is uniquely laid out to give pets access to the secure patio area as well as regular potty breaks in the front yard. I work from home full-time and walk Juniper 4 to 5 times a day averaging 4 miles a day and would do the same for your furbaby! Checkout my previous profile reviews from CO (since it’s under my former partners account I’m unable to merge): Check out Matt's pet care profile on Rover: https://r.rover.com/pLSdMF I am full-time work from home, make my own schedule for healthcare systems in Seattle, Washington. I can have frequent walks and breaks to meet your pets needs. I am very particular about who and how my pets are cared for and translate that to your pets. They are family and I treat all pets as if they were my own. I send regular updates, can accommodate dietary needs, can ensure plenty of play time, and have experience with administering oral and injectible medications.

“Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond and is always on time. She is so patient and kind with my two schnauzers (~17lbs and ~47lbs). I have a very hard time trusting anyone with my dogs but Rebecca made me feel so much at ease and I trust her completely. I am so thankful for Rebecca and have nothing but amazing things to say about her!”

About: 25 years with small and medium dogs experience. I know how to train dogs, and can train them with sit, go fetch, spin skills easily. I work from home. Can walk dogs even every 2 hours. Have helped dog sit for more than 4 years. Available for whole week. Also accept daycare, night care or dog walking. I have a fenced yard in Palo Alto. I usually play with dogs a lot during the day and walk dog 3-4 times a day.

“Rachel is an exceptional dog walker who provides top-notch care for my furry friend (and I guess it’s fair to admit at the outset that my dog is OBSESSED with her). She has a genuine love for dogs and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Rachel is very responsive to texts and will tailor the walk according to the dog’s needs—sometimes if I know I’m going to have a long day, she’ll spend extra time with him. Her reliability is unmatched, and I never have to worry about my dog's safety. She provides regular updates and photos, keeping me informed and giving me peace of mind. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring companion for their dog.”
