“Michael and Tyler were divided a truly wonderful and happy stay for our little girl. They welcomed her and made her feel right at home, and she clearly had such a blast with them. It’s so reassuring to be able to leave her with people who are going to love her and care for her as you would yourself. We will have no hesitation in leaving our girl with them again in the future.”
“Tracy was great! She got Yoshi to eat on the first day, which is very rare, so I know he was comfortable. She sent lots of pics and communication seamlessly. Great sitter, highly recommend and will use again!! ❤️”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kenny! He was incredibly caring with Coco and made sure he stayed active with plenty of walks. It was such a relief knowing Coco was in such good hands. Great overall, I highly recommend him!”
“Meerim was an incredible dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, and communicated how things were going so I didn't worry at all. So grateful that we found her! Will 100% book again xx”
“Jessica has done an excellent job taking care of Sunny. She sent us pictures often and even took Sunny for a bath! Sunny has had a great time with Jessica!”
“Mora is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She treated our dogs like family. Took them to parks and on hikes. They came back home very happy and well taken care of. Mora also sent many pictures and also gave our dogs lots of affection. Bonus is she has a fenced in backyard. We will definitely be calling Mora again!”
About: With two years of experience caring for my own Shiba Inu and a history of dog-sitting for friends, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent pet care. I have hands-on experience with tasks like giving medicine, bathing, and brushing (for those dogs who are not against it) I'm available to care for your fur baby during the day on weekdays. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate daytime needs. I also take last minute booking. I have a private, fenced patio in my apartment that's a great space for your pet to enjoy some fresh air safely. During our walks, I'll send you updates with a detailed summary, so you'll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and what we did.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and other animals since I was a child. I was brought up loving animals and everyone in the family has pets. I brought home my first dog from my aunt’s house when I was 9, and he became my best friend and lived to 12 years old. I’m a proud auntie to my sister’s Shiba Inu and have helped raise her since she was a puppy. I hope to meet your best friend soon. I’m home all days of the week so your pet will never be without care and attention except when I step out for a brief errand. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood with walkable streets. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and walks throughout the day.
“Sure! Here's a simple review you could leave: We boarded our dog TJ with Karen and Willie and had a great experience. He was well taken care of and seemed really happy when we picked him up. He especially enjoyed playing with Cookie... they became fast friends! Definitely recommend.”
“Wow! We felt so secure having Daniel dog-sit for us. He sent us regular updates with photos and took her on really nice long walks. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”
“Millie loved her stay with Yunxi again! Our puppy gets tons of walks, playtime and snuggle time. Yunxi sent plenty of photos and video so we could see how Millie was doing. We will be having Millie over again!”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
About: Our family has loved dogs for years, and we're excited to share our home with yours! Our kids have spent the past year as trusted dog walkers for several neighbors on our street, building a reputation for being dependable, attentive, and great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Our home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Palo Alto with a large fully fenced backyard and a spacious front yard, perfect for safe off-leash play, fetch, and lounging in the sun. With two active, dog-loving kids in the house, your pet will never be short on attention, belly rubs, or walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Whether your dog needs gentle company, lots of playtime, or a few long strolls a day, we'll treat them like one of our own. We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures. We follow your dog's feeding schedule and routine closely, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Audrina was absolutely amazing and part of me wants to gatekeep her so she'd be available to take care of Yoshi whenever needed! Throughout the boarding, Audrina remained highly professional and experienced with all types of dogs. This was my first time using Rover so I was extremely nervous. I expressed my concerns with Yoshi being a senior, reactive dog, but Audrina and Donny eased all of my worries. We set up a meet and greet where they both took the time to ask questions about Yoshi's daily routine, habits, health, and personality. She also sent over a Google form to ensure nothing was forgotten about Yoshi's needs! Audrina went above and beyond - sending daily updates as well as cute pictures/videos the entirety of the stay. I could immediately tell that Audrina and Donny were giving Yoshi so much love and Yoshi looked extremely comfortable with them. He was playful, happy, and anxious-free! What stood out to me the most was that Audrina took the time to train Yoshi and even give him stimulating activities on the rainy days! I truly don't think I could have found a better person to take care of Yoshi!”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael boarding our dog for a week. We received regular updates, and it was clear our dog was in great hands. If you're looking for a communicative, flexible, and caring sitter, we highly recommend Michael!”
“Iryna was great! She was very responsive, she was flexible with the meet and greet, pickup, and dropoff timing, and parking was easy. Tahini is shy but warmed up to her quite quickly and loved exploring her apartment, where he had plenty of space to run around. We didn’t have much experience introducing him to other dogs, and she helped him make friends in controlled settings, including at the dog park for small dogs across the street. We loved the daily photos, and the daily videos always showed him happy and wagging his tail. He came home happy and healthy.”

We are extremely happy that we found Irina. Our dog Max quickly grew very attached to her and clearly feels safe and comfortable in her care. She has stayed with hi on several occasions, including living in our home for a few 2-weeks periods while we were away on vacation. Throughout this time, Max was calm, happy, and very well looked after. Irina took excellent care of him and treated him with genuine warmth and attention. She also kept us regularly updated with photos and videos, which gave us peach of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Irina as a trustworthy, caring and highly responsible dog sitter. She is very polite, easy to communicate with, and truly devoted to the animals she looks after.
Ahmyah took care of my 8- year Golden Retriever (Basin) while I was attending meetings at Stanford for a few days. Its clear she really loves dogs. She sent me cute videos of Basin on campus having a great time! I would love for Basin to stay with Ahmyah again when we are back at Stanford.
Svetlana was a great caretaker for ZuZu. They have a nice grass yard that’s enclosed. She walks ZuZu regularly and played with her. Her daily updates are personal and detailed. I always look forward to read her updates. She is obvious experienced at taking care of dogs and she has a warm heart. I will not hesitate to send zuzu back next time around. She is simply great!
Cynthia was fantastic! She took such great care of my dogs and kept me updated throughout their stay with photos, which I really appreciated. My flight ended up being delayed, and I was running late, but she was incredibly accommodating and understanding, which made a stressful situation much easier. It was clear she showed my pets a lot of love and attention while they were with her. I’d absolutely trust her again and will definitely be booking with her for my future dog care needs.
We had a great experience! Jennifer cared for our dog for 10 days and was consistently responsive and easy to communicate with. She clearly took great care of our dog, and we could tell our dog was happy and comfortable. We would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her.🙏👌
I highly recommend Daniela as a dog sitter. She watched my dog, Poppy, it was the first time I left my puppy and I was very nervous. We had a great a experience! It was so clear from the start that she truly loves animals; she didn't just stick to a schedule but really took the time to get to know Poppy’s personality and quirks. I felt so much better being away because Daniela kept me updated with constant messages and the cutest photos of Poppy playing and happy. Daniela was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. When I finally picked Poppy up, she was happy and well-cared for, which is the best peace of mind a pet owner can have. I’d trust Daniela with Poppy again in a heartbeat!
