Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Downtown North

“Rachel was amazing with our cat, Jasper! She was communicative, thoughtful and clearly genuinely cares. Her updates were detailed and reassuring and she went above and beyond—bringing in mail, spending extra time, and even leaving a sweet handwritten note and photo. Jasper clearly adored her and we felt so at ease while away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

About: Hi there! 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 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.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Justine! We were nervous to leave our kitty at home for the first time but she immediately put our minds at ease. She proactively reached out for info ahead of time, was prompt for visits, sent us photos, and even offered to help with other things around the house while we were away. She was kind and patient with our shy kitty and followed the instructions we left. We'll definitely book Justine again when we need a Rover. Thank you, Justine!”

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 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.

“Very nice and respectful. Handled our kitty with love and kept us updated with all the info we needed to have peace of mind while we were out!”

About: I have a 14 year old beagle corgi mix. Happy to do walks and drop in visits for your pups. Feel free to reach out! 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. I am very detailed oriented in following directions for those with special needs. I am also open to walks during the drop-in visits.

“Alexandra was a great sitter for my 4mo puppy. She is a kind, detail-oriented, and carrying sitter. Our communication was timely and respectful. I’ll rebook her service for sure! And would recommend her to others.”

“Julie was great. Very conscientious and proactive. Our cats hide from strangers but Julie sought them out and tried to get them to be less fearful. We would definitely book with her again.”

About: My name is Ariana. I am a former educator and current applicant to graduate school in medicine. I am a highly organized and dependable care taker. In prior, house-sitting experiences for pets I send daily updates, provide a checklist of other chores I attended to, etc. My rates reflect the "above-and-beyond" love and care I will show to your pet and home. I have supported young puppies, cats, palliative care for senior dogs, and active pets that need time outdoors. I work best with a checklist so I can ensure I provide the best experience for you and your pet possible. My partner is a Stanford affiliate accompanies me often on my dog walking experiences. Our current apartment disallows pets, and after recently losing my childhood shih-tzu Coco, we are always looking for opportunities to hang out & get love w pets in our neighborhood. I am currently unemployed and am engaged in volunteer work, so I have plenty time and the financial need to support your pets. I can be on-demands to my clients. I currently live in a no-pets allowed complex so I can provide away-services (at your home, drop in, walking, etc) but not at-sitter home services.

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s furry friends since a very young age- including dogs of all types. From newborn puppies, to energetic young dogs, and elderly sick pups, I have a wide range of experience in the different care that’s needed. I also have experience as a vet assistant at pets in need, where I learned the importance of hygiene, attention to detail, and the bond between us and our furry friends. Lastly, I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was young! I have two dogs of my own, one of which has special needs, so I truly understand the importance in finding someone trustworthy and capable. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I’m recently unemployed due to my chronic illness, and am a full time college student. So im open to work everyday! Some days in the mornings, and some days on afternoons. I’m looking forward making money in something that I love and that is flexible. I have a fenced yard outside for playtime, as well as a gate inside my house to keep my dogs secure and safe. I have lots of toys and space in my house!

“I’m so happy we found Trina! She kept me updated the entire day with our pup Honey, everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend and rebook with her. Thank you Trina ?”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs my entire life. As a kid I used to sneak my dog Jack into my room at night after my parents went to bed cause at that time dogs weren’t allowed in the house. I loved the warmth and cuddles and still do. I have been pet sitting for friends and family and truly enjoy having them. Interacting with all the different personalities. At my former employer that I worked at for more than 18 years, my boss always had a dog, So I had a dog M-F. I would help with their training as well especially since office dogs have to be well behaved and trained. I currently have a small 4 year old dog named Charlie. Charlie gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with senior and special needs dogs. I have experience in training dogs as well as helping anxious dogs settle in and build confidence. My schedule is flexible. I am available 7 days a week for walking, daycare, boarding, at home check-ins, vet and grooming visits. Emergency last minute care available as well as life happens and someone has to watch “Rover :-) I am home all day. *Because demand is high on weekends, weekend stays that are less than 3 days in duration (Fri-Sun) will include a weekend surcharge of $40.00 (plus rover fees). Weekend daycare rates will also include a weekend surcharge. I provide a fun vacation experience for your fur baby. Whether your dog prefers to lounge on the couch, sun-bathe, chase balls, play outside with other dogs or have stimulating play, I will engage with your dog continuously and provide personalized care to meet their needs. I am dedicated to providing the proper care for my guests. From helping first-timers settle in and preparing special meals for finicky eaters to playing extra time ensuring everyone is comfortable in their beds at night. I will sleep about 15ft from them with my door open so I can hear any movement or noise and I monitor them from my living room camera as well. As a dog owner myself, I treat each guest as if they were my own. We will not go to dog parks for your pets safety but we may go on safe outings and morning walks. My home has a 7' fenced in front and back yard with grass and plants where they can play and run around. My living room is where my guests will sleep/rest/nap and play with toys or cuddle on the couch and where the magic kisses and belly rubs happen. I aways make it a point to take a little one-on-one time with each guest to give them hugs kisses and love without competing with others. I feed them one at a time in the enclosed kitchen to ensure safety.

“Cameron has been helping with the care of our senior dog whenever we're out of town for about a year now. It's great to have someone who is responsive and consistent. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Stafani, and caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am — whether that’s people or animals. My love for dogs began in childhood when I got my first dog, whom I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for over the past 15 years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. This experience taught me how to work safely and confidently with each dog I encounter while leading with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. My passion for nurturing others, which I discovered by caring for animals, ultimately led me to pursue nursing, where I’m currently developing strong skills in observation, responsibility, and compassionate care. During my free-time, I’m excited to do something I genuinely love: caring for dogs and helping them feel safe, happy, healthy, and loved! I’m currently on summer break, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily accommodate you and your pets’ needs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and providing attentive, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible by following all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and comfortable.
