Dog Walking Los Altos

“Alexander has walked my dog for two walks so far, and he has been AWESOME. Super reliable, easy to work with, communicative, and very clearly cares for dogs. Highly recommend him, and I’m looking forward to working with him regularly! It’s my first experience using Rover, and I’m really grateful we found Alexander!”

“Lanae is very sweet and right on time with the appointments - Swiss precision! She asked great questions right from the start making sure that she knows Suzy as much as possible! Suzy is a bit anxious, but Lanae knew how to handle and calm her down! I felt at peace when she was walking Suzy, making sure she gets her sniffs and routine! I highly recommend her!”

“Maxim did a great job with Paris and Cupcake. They were a bit frightened on the meet and greet and barked, but Maxim was patient and gained their trust. He took them for a walk every visit and fed them homemade dog food. He played with them, giving them extra play time. I would definitely use Maxim again.”

About: I’ve cared for and owned dogs, cats, reptiles, and rats since I was a kid. I love dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments. Currently I just have a quail. I love caring for animals of all kind! I am patient and am open to caring for pets with special needs, especially with detailed instructions. Non-traditional pets don’t scare me, although spiders are not my favorite. They’re cute, I just don’t want to touch them. Haha. Am happy to take doggos on fun outdoor walks and give them lots of exercise! Cats will get lots of exercise, playing, and love, catered to their preferences. I currently work part-time tutoring kiddos virtually, and caring for my elderly Father-in-law in Monterey some weekends. I prefer drop-in care and giving walks, but am open to house-sitting depending on the details. I am happy to come to your home to meet and talk about the care if your pet(s). I live in a small apartment, so I won't be boarding any animals. Not only do I follow instructions well (I’m an elementary teacher, so I’m good at that), I also love to give animals snuggles and care and am happy to send hourly pictures.

“Ho So did a fantastic job looking after our dog Ddoddo for a week. We are particularly appreciative of his flexibility, working around our unpredictable work schedules. He was always very communicative and consistently posted updates and pictures of his time with Ddoddo. We highly recommend Ho So to anybody and would definitely ask him for help again in the future.”

“CJ is fantastic! He is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be having him stay with Chase during our next trip abroad. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for. Chase really took a shine to CJ, probably because of his calm and kind manner with him and the Treats!”

“Katie was well-prepared with treats, toys, and water. I was also concerned about separation anxiety, but given the large yard and ample attention and toys, it wasn't an issue : )”

“Lisa was so great! Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her and she was very prompt and communicative with me. Absolutely recommend and will rebook with her!”

About: My first pet friend is a mixed breed puppy my grandma found on street. He used to be my best childhood friend. When I went to college, I started my volunteer work at animal care shelter. I worked four years caring all kinds of dogs and cats there. Not only I acquired professional pet caring knowledge, I also stay calm and being patient to our fluffy friends. I found my first kitty (2 months old) on street at 2020, now she’s happily and healthily living with my parents. I moved to CA for graduate school, now I adopted my second kitty! I always help take care of neighbors & friends’ pet (since high school!), you can find some cute pics here!!! I always get along well with fluffy friends! For energetic kiddos, I’d love to play with them! I wont rush or scare them if they’re shy! You can always trust me to be your pets’ friend! Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekends: let me know your preference! My schedule is quite flexible! Tuesday, Thursday: Generally I’d be free after 5pm But feel free to reach out for your preferred time! I totally understand your first concern would be: will my pet be safe with you? Of course they will! I’m super cautious when it comes to your kiddos’ safety! If they’re a bit nervous, I’d never rush them! Take their time to take me as a new friend! Let me know your pets’ personality and we will get along super good! By the way, for their safety, I’d only take leash trained dog for outdoor walk! I’m sure you’d understand!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, including large breeds like German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping pet areas clean. I am available in the mornings and evenings, sometimes could do afternoon playtime. I follow each pet’s individual routine and preferences and adjust timing as needed. I provide calm, reliable care in a safe, familiar environment for your pet, carefully following routines and instructions while keeping owners informed with regular updates.

About: I've had dogs since I was 5, so caring for them comes naturally. These days, I sit for friends' and family's pets, and I've helped care for senior dogs who needed oral medication, as well as anxious dogs who do best with patience and a calm routine. I work in supply chain, so I'm big on details and schedules. I'll stick to your pet's routine and send photo updates, so you can relax while you're away. I am currently working full time 9am-5pm. My weekends are open unless I have plans coming up. Open to do overnight stays or drop ins. I can assist with walks, feedings, providing pill medicines, and any other needs the pet may have. I can manage all sizes and ages of pets.

“Holly is excellent with our active senior dog, and great with communication.”

About: I have had pets my entire life from birds and reptiles to small rodents and, of course, dogs and cats! I’ve worked in veterinary care for over 5 years and look forward to being your pet’s best friend. I am new to the area and currently job searching so my schedule is quite flexible! I am happy to do morning, afternoon, and evening drop ins and walks. I approach each pet with patience and take care to make sure the animal feels safe and loved. I am trained in fear-free practices and make sure to use them in all pet-related situations.

About: I have a combination of flexibility, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I also have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I understand the unique needs of each stage of life—whether it’s helping a puppy with training and socialization, or providing extra comfort and patience for a senior pet. I also work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stick to your pet’s routine, provide extra walks or playtime, and respond quickly to any needs or updates. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.” have a very flexible schedule and work remotely, which allows me to easily accommodate your pets’ needs and routines. I can adjust visits, walks, or care to fit your preferences and ensure your pets feel happy and well cared for. 🙂 I provide care at the client’s home or during walks, depending on the service requested. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, administering medications if needed, providing fresh water, and giving plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure your home stays safe and tidy during visits. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level, with plenty of exercise and opportunities for mental stimulation.

About: I’ve always grown up in a family with lots of pets, so I really miss having that connection with animals. That’s why I’d love to have the opportunity to spend time with dogs here in California. Back in Italy, I regularly took care of medium-sized dogs, mostly taking them for walks, playing with them, and organizing playdates. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would love to give them the same care and attention I’ve always given to my own pets. 🐶❤️ I’m currently work during the afternoon, so I’m free in the mornings, usually until 2:30 pm. Also after dinner around 6:30pm and nights. During the weekends I’m always free . I care for your pets by following their daily routines. At my home, I provide a safe, cage-free, and welcoming environment; at your home, I offer visits or sitting focused on feeding, walks, hygiene, and play. You will receive daily photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!

About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. My daughters share that love, and our whole house lights up when there's a dog in it. We travel too much to have one of our own, which is why we'd rather build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. I'm semi-retired with a fully flexible schedule, and I only take one or two bookings a month, so your dog gets my attention for the vast majority of each day. And I never book more than one dog at a time. I'm super active myself, so I love taking dogs on hikes, and on trail runs if they're up for it. Whatever your dog's energy level, they'll come home tired from exercising and happy from a day of new smells. I charge more than most sitters here, and the reason is simple: your dog gets a whole family's attention, real daily workouts, playmates, and steady, caring company from an experienced handler. Every dollar goes to my daughters — half as pay for the help they provide, half into their college funds. I'm happy (and actually prefer) to do a meet and greet at my house prior to confirming a booking. If we sound like the right fit for your pup, then please reach out! **For the Dog Walking service listed at $120/walk** — that's not for the standard 30-minute Rover walk, but rather up to 120 minutes/10 miles of hiking/trail running. I'd pick up and put your pup in the back of my SUV, drive to a preserve nearby (Foothill Park in Palo Alto, for example), and then drop your pup off. Given I'm semi-retired and work from home on a flexible schedule, pet care can always fit naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. On the weekends, after school, on holidays, and during summer break, my daughters will shower your pup with love and attention. Safety comes first. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from small, medium and large breeds since I was 8. I enjoyed volunteering hours to our local vet clinic, walking and caring for recovering animals. Many family, friends and neighbors rely on me to watch their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mama who enjoys playing and caring for my own fur baby. My schedule is flexible from day to day. Update: October 2026, our senior dog had to be put down so we no longer have her. Our pets in our home are treated as family. I try to always make sure even though they can’t tell me through words what they need, pets can communicate in their own way and I try to stay in tune with that. When I care for pets at other people’s homes, I like to stick to what the pet parent prefers.

About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in puppy care, house-training, and positive reinforcement. As a proud parent of two young pups—including an energetic Australian Shepherd—I deeply understand puppy behaviors, teething, crate training, and social boundaries. My background working in early childhood education has also equipped me with extreme patience, high alertness for safety, and a natural ability to structure a fun yet secure routine for pets. Whether your dog needs gentle guidance, playful enrichment, or senior comfort, they will receive undivided attention and love. As a graduate student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for multi-day boarding, daycare, and overnight stays. Because I study primarily from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will enjoy constant companionship, timely potty breaks, and plenty of structured mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. Safety is my absolute highest priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment fully adapted for active puppies. When welcoming guest pets, I ensure slow, supervised introductions and keep a watchful eye on play dynamics. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and training instructions. Daily photo and video updates are guaranteed so you can have complete peace of mind while away.
