Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Crescent Park

“RACHEL IS AMAZING!! SERIOUSLY!! I asked her to drop in visit to look after my cat Aria, and wow she went above and beyond! Lots of photos, detailed write up of what she and my cat got up to, and was very respectful of the space! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a animal loving caretaker.”

About: I live with my wife, baby girl, cat, and dog in Palo Alto. At home, I am the CPO (chief poop officer). I've experience with administering flea medicine for cats and dogs. I make sure the pets have food and water. I've trained my current and past dogs (sit, stay, go home, come, leave it, look at me, and other commands). I am responsible and clean up after the animals whether it's poop or vomit. Furry animals make me happy. I'm extroverted, so I am also social and easy to communicate with. I can care for your pet as long as I'm available. I've a flexible work schedule, and am on holiday for two weeks starting the week of Christmas. I have a cat and dog that likes to run out of the door, so I am careful when going in and out of the house. I'd do the same for you. I make sure they've food and water. If the dog goes on a hike where there are tall grass, then I'd check for ticks after the walk and use a tweezer to remove the tick if needed. If the cat or dog has its tail between its legs, then I'd approach slowly and walk around them to not make them too uncomfortable. If the cat's tail is up and approaches, then I give him/her a scratch on the head or chin. If dog's tail is wagging, then I'd definitely pet him/her. If the pet has dietary restrictions, then I will follow the owner's dietary guideline.

About: I’ve had countless pets growing up, as my mom regularly rescues street dogs. We care for them until they get placed in shelters. I’ve been taught to handle all types of dogs from super energetic to calm dogs. I'm currently a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. I'm always available on weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm, except Thursdays where I’m available anytime after 1pm. I’m very observant of dog’s behavior and try to match their energy, while keeping their environment as stress free as possible. My number one priority is always your dogs safety and ensuring they are comfortable

About: I am a compassionate and reliable dog walker with years of experience caring for and advocating for dogs through rescue work and pet ownership. At present I am volunteering with Doggie Protective Services in Palo Alto. Having shared my life with dogs for more than 30 years, I understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and eye drops, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. After recently relocating to Menlo Park from San Diego, I am excited to get to know the local community—both the humans and the dogs! While I am unable to offer boarding at this time, I would love the opportunity to provide your pup with an enjoyable walk, a fun play session, or a caring visit filled with attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I’m new to the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area and would love the opportunity to meet and care for your dog! As the owner of a part-time in-home charcuterie business, I enjoy a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some companionship while you're away, or a little extra exercise and attention, I’m happy to help. And don't worry—I can always fit your dog in between slicing cheese! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe every dog is unique, and I’m happy to tailor each visit to whatever makes your pet most comfortable and excited. Whether that means a leisurely neighborhood walk on leash, a trip to the dog park, a game of fetch in your backyard, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Every visit is filled with plenty of affection, belly rubs, cuddles, and love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I can provide loving leadership for your dog that is consistent and reliable. I love dogs but I’m not allowed to have pets where I live so I’m excited for the opportunity to help with your dog(s). I work full time from Monday-Friday in the office (9am-5:30pm) but if you’re in the Menlo Park area I can drop in during my lunch. I can go for morning and evening walks, along with trips to the dog park if you want to socialize your dog. My weekends are totally free so I have ample time to spend them to train, socialize and keep your dog company. Dogs need structure and a safe space to feel confident. With my own dog, she had a kennel and a dedicated space where she can decompress but also find ways to get energy out. I’d keep that same energy for all my clients! I’d foster a place of structure and training along with balancing play when it is time.

About: I’m a passionate dog lover with over 10 years of personal experience raising and caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes. Although I currently live in a rental that doesn't allow pets, I deeply miss the companionship of a furry friend. This is why I’ve decided to become a dog walker—to share my love and energy with your pets! My current schedule allows me plenty of time for pet care! I am also fully available on weekend mornings to provide your pups with the exercise and attention they need to start their day right. Since I work part-time, I can be very flexible and reliable for your furry friends. Safety is my top priority. When walking your dog, I am always alert to the surroundings and keep a firm grip on the leash to avoid any unexpected situations. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, triggers, or favorite routes. I believe in clear communication and will provide you with frequent photo updates and detailed reports, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in responsible hands.

About: I've been a large dog owner for most of my life, but I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Ready to meet the unique needs of every pup, and I come with some basic pet training experience. While I'm here for the summer (May-July), I have complete flexibility throughout the week and weekend. I have no qualms taking them out early in the morning or later at night (around 7AM-10PM depending on the location). Although I'm based in Palo Alto, I am more than willing to cycle or drive to locations throughout the peninsula! I'm most experienced offering the basic services of walks (usually several a day, can range anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the needs of the dog), feeding, and playing in the yard or at the dog park. I'm also comfortable with basic training, washing, and watching them overnight. While I wouldn't be able to bring any dogs to my own home, I am more than happy to house sit and stay with them overnight.

“Ka Ying was able to take care of Kuma and Jiji on incredible short notice. We didn't get to meet in person but she was able to understand what care that our two black cats needed. She is definitely someone worth booking and we trust her with our pets.”

“Ally is a deeply caring, conscious person. My puppy and I are so grateful to have found her on Rover! I have a rambunctious 11-week-old puppy who requires constant supervision. Ally made sure he was safe and cared for! I received pictures on Louie sleeping in her lap and enjoying the garden, which delighted me. No hesitation on giving Ally five stars!!”

About: My experienced started 7 years ago, as I started walking friends and my family friends dogs. I have also walked faster and slower dogs as well as even a blind dog before and have continued ever since. I’m a full time college student with classes from Mondays to Thursdays. I can do afternoons on Tue/Thu, Wednesdays, and weekends whenever works. I can definitely make accommodations. I have a fenced backyard and I always keep an eye out on pets to make sure they are safe, happy, secure, all at the same time.

“Maria took great care of our two cats while away! She sent regular photo updates, and we returned to happy pets. Her genuine affection for animals made our time away worry-free. Highly recommended!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

“Danielle is the best!!! My very shy kitties love her and she is so helpful and responsive. She has gone above and beyond to help us and take care of our pets when things have gone off the rails while we’ve been out of town. And she is the best pet photographer, I literally use the pics she sends as my lock screen. Thank you Danielle!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I've cared for the dogs and cats of close friends and family, and I take that responsibility seriously every time. At home, I share my space with my own dog and three cats, so your pet will be in the care of experienced hands. I'm the kind of sitter who sends updates, sticks to routines, and makes sure every pet feels safe and comfortable — because I know how much your fur baby means to you. My working hours are flexible so I can fit your schedule and the needs of your pets with ease. I am open to pet sitting from 8am to 11pm on weekdays and weekends I am committed to send updates, sticks to routines, and makes sure every pet feels safe and comfortable — because I know how much your fur baby means to you.

“Sjofn was soooooo happy to get so many belly rubs she was thrilled and didn’t want them to leave. I highly recommend Guilherme and his wife. Sjofn would be thrilled to get more belly rubs and I would be happy to have them watch her again :)”

I am currently working from home, but I would love to care for your pups if there are times when you need that additional support. I have taken care of my friends’ dogs.
