Dog Walking in Green Acres, Palo Alto, CA

“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”

About: I lived on the farm for 16 years which we raised several types of dogs ranging from a miniature poodle name Benji to a black lab named Bear. We had several cats, some of them were called Barn cats and they would just stay in the barn and catch the mice or any other little creatures that would roam around! Once in awhile I would sneak in a kitty and make sure they were out of the house before my dad got up! I always felt bad for them sleeping outside. One of my first dogs as an adult was a Rottweiler named keela. She was so smart she wouldn't let the kids out of her side. When she got pregnant she had a hard time giving birth. I remember watching a movie 101 Dalmatians and one of the puppies wasn't breathing and he used a technique on the throat. That actually works. I had the vet on the line and he talked me through helping her give birth. That was one of these scariest most exciting moments owning a pet! I used to train our puppies on the farm the basics. They were so easy since treats or a puppy's best friend! My furry granddaughter moved out recently with her mom and her name is Bella. I get her on weekends sometimes like any other grandparent gets their grand child. I have doggy sat / house sat for one family for the past five to six years when needed. Ella is always excited to see me as I am always excited to see her! I believe that are pets are just like our children. They need our unconditional love, attention, patience, and understanding. Our pets can not talk to us so we need to make sure that we understand their language when they're not feeling well or when they're anxious or stressed out. I will treat your family member just like I treat my own. I now have a new addiction to the family. Her name is Luna. She is a 9month old tabby that I adopted Halloween night last year!! She was 8 weeks old and boy is she a character. Right now, I have an open schedule. So anytime would be great to hang out with some fur babies. Being with your babies would be a blessing to enjoy. Every morning we get up and have breakfast pour fresh water in her fountain. I allow her to go outside on the balcony for a bit while i am out there tending to my plants. we then go and empty her litter box in the morning so we can have clean litter for the day. I am trying to harness train her so if she wants some day we can go on a walk. we come back in, and we will play with some toys or the laser. then it is treat time. by then she takes a nap. this is how i take care of my pet. your pet would get the same treatment.

“Michael has been amazing with our young, active dog while I recovered from surgery. He is right on schedule with 7 day/week service in my case. I really appreciate his calm nature and pro dog handling skills. Highly recommend.”

About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)

About: I grew up in a family with two Siberian Huskies, and later I adopted a Standard Poodle on my own. Now, I have a 16year-old Old English Sheepdog. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve cared for each one with love and patience. Every dog deserves kindness, and I truly enjoy being around them. Services Offered: • Dog walking (morning & afternoon) • Feeding meals (including fresh food) • Administering medications • Basic cleaning (light messes, food area, etc.) I usually take dogs to nearby parks for walks, including Fayette Green Park. It’s a quiet and safe area where dogs can enjoy their time outdoors.

“Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.”

About: When it comes to dogs, I've got experience with every stage of life—from the energy of a bouncing puppy learning its first commands to the gentle, watchful care of senior dogs who need extra comfort and support. My secret? I tune in to each dog's unique personality and needs. I’m that person who will sit with a shy pup until they feel safe, or go on an extra-long walk for high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam. And if you've got a clever escape artist or a curious troublemaker, I’m not afraid to get creative! I’ve trained dogs to master basic commands, helped socialize pups for better behavior, and used enrichment activities to keep clever minds active and engaged. 🦴 My goal is to leave every dog not only happier but a bit wiser (or at least more tired!) than when we started. Simply put, I’m not just a dog sitter. I’m the friend who’ll show up with treats, patience, and a heart dedicated to making each visit as enriching as it is fun. Because to me, every pup is family. 🐾 Pet care is woven right into my everyday life, making it easy for me to provide attention and love throughout the week! With my flexible schedule, your furry friend will rarely be left alone and can enjoy a homey, cozy atmosphere all day long. I’m in school, but my afternoons are wide open for playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. 🐕 Once I'm home, I focus fully on their needs—whether it’s burning off some energy with a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some cuddle time on the couch. Weekends? Even better! I have all the time in the world to make sure your pup feels right at home. With my adaptable schedule and dog-friendly setup, you can count on a reliable, warm environment that fits naturally into my routine, keeping your pet safe, happy, and thoroughly entertained! 🐾 Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Living in the Stanford dorms, I’ve created a pet-friendly space where dogs can feel right at home, even in a new environment. My dorm is cozy and inviting, with enough space for your pet to relax, play, or curl up for a nap. 🐶💼 Stanford’s campus is filled with beautiful common areas and plenty of green spaces, perfect for a daily dose of exercise and fresh air. Whether it’s a peaceful walk through tree-lined paths or a playful romp on a nearby lawn, your dog will have a chance to explore and enjoy the outdoors in a safe, controlled way. 🏞️ I’m mindful of routines and safety practices, so your pup will always have the structure they need to feel secure. Whether it’s managing mealtimes, sticking to established commands, or simply offering reassuring attention, I make sure every dog feels right at home. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe but will also be showered with all the love and care they deserve. 🐾

About: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.

About: I have loved animals my whole life! A favorite old photo of mine is 2-year-old me hugging my neighbor's baby goat! When I was 8 years old I trained my first puppy how to sit, shake, and walk on a leash. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I cared for pets of friends and neighbors, and also volunteered walking pups at a local animal shelter. My other care experience includes cats, rodents, reptiles and fish! I am primarily available for walks or visits Friday - Sunday with fairly flexible timing! Other schedules may be able to work on a case by case basis. Drop-ins can include cat care (litterbox, feeding, playtime or a lap to sit on) or dog time (feeding, yard time, water checks, etc). Walks can be adjusted to your pet's pace- we can move quickly for maximum steps, or take a slow stroll to smell all the smells!

“Andrea has been great walking Rico, my 14 year old pug. Rico is now a special needs dog due to his advanced age. I gave Andrea a pretty long list describing how to handle Rico and she covered it all. I definitely trust Andrea with Rico and will set up regular walks with her on an ongoing basis.”

About: I grew up with tons of pets and have pet sit for friends and family in the past. I am restarting my pet sitting but have been volunteering with a local cat rescue for the last 4 years on a weekly basis. I can provide exercise, play time, food, and administer medications. I have my own cat and know how special and important pets are as members of the family. I work full time from home for a non profit and am luckily that my schedule is fairly flexible so I can easily pop over to facilitate a walk or check in on pets. It’s important to me to learn the typical routine and structures in place for pets and then try my best to maintain those for a pets comfort and ease of transition in having a petsitter. Safety inside and out is important, especially going on a walk.

“Robyn is awesome with both my dogs despite one being a bit stubborn and the other very mischievous :) She even cleaned up after my counter surfing dog got ahold of a brand new box of Kleenex!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and breeds since I was 11 with the upmost care and joy. I grew up with my dearly-missed havapoo, Maya, and around the pets of family members and friends including pitbulls, yorkies, aussies, poodles, hounds, and more. I am a life-long animal lover well-attuned to the needs of your furry friends, from playing fetch, to food allergies, to calming reactivity! I currently work part-time remotely which allows me plenty of time to play with, walk, feed, or keep an eye on your pets. During the weekday, I am best available in the afternoon and during the evening, while Mondays and Fridays I am also available in the morning. My weekend mornings are also readily available to take care of your furry friends, though I am also flexible during the afternoons and evenings. I greatly value good communication and trust with pet owners, and I am very attuned to any household pets and able to tailor my caretaking to each animal. I ensure any doors and gates that lead to the street are closed when not in use, mindful of any food scraps falling on the floor, attentive to bathroom signals and behavioral changes, and I adjust my walking style based on the neighborhood as well as any chase-instinct, reactivity, training-in-progress, or leash pulling your dog may have. I can promise consistent check-ins and a personalized experience built on safety, health, and care!

About: Our family has had a black lab/boxer for over 8 years, and I grew up with dogs in the household. I am active and we love to take our pup on walks, to the park, and play around the family. Would love to extend my care to your dog, as a home away from home or puppy playdate treat. I'm currently a stay at home mom and freelance artist, so available for flexible doggy day care and overnight boarding. Please reach out for initial meet and greet or to schedule. We have a fenced in yard, active middle aged dog who gets along great with all size pups, and a loving home with 3 girls who also love animals.
