Dog Boarding in Menlo Park

“India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”

“Cesar had taken care of ZuZu for a few occasions now. Zuzu loved to go to his home. I am always happy to receive his daily updates, knowing that Zuzu is in good care with him. He is the best sitter I have had.”

“I know my dog was well taken care of and happy with Manli. She was super communicative and shared daily photo updates, which I appreciated. She made sure to ask about anything she should know about my dog before I left for my trip. I would definitely recommend her and would board my dog with her again.”

“Our favorite Rover dog-sitters moved, but they recommended a new family that took excellent care of our two small pups while we were away. MinJun & Mi Ran P. had a lovely home with a fenced in patio that was very safe and comfortable for our dogs. They were able to feed two finicky eaters, take them for walks, and share many photos and videos of our dogs while we were away, so we knew what they were doing. The bonus was another dog was also boarding and our younger pup had so much fun playing that she is still tired today! Will 100% choose MinJun & Mi Ran for boarding again next time we need it.”

“Sammy loves Mara, and we know he's on his own vacation when he boars with her! Mara is reliable, and a great dog sitter. She is our first choice for Sammy.”

“Margaret is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. Let me give some context: our utterly cute dog was adopted in 2020 (pandemic dog) with already deep fear and trauma. We think something happened when she was a puppy that caused deep fear such as abuse or some sort of trauma. Basically, she was afraid of everything and utterly shy. We worked with multiple trainers for almost two years and finally got her to a good place. We learned with time and patience she gets comfortable with strangers and once you’re in her pack. You are there for life. She loves playing with dogs but dog parks would get complicated because other dogs sometimes would teach bad habits or become aggressive (trainers also mentioned things can escalate and certain owners have no control). We also learned she is scared of certain breeds and afraid of cats. But she has an incredible memory and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. However, most people dog kennels, individuals have zero experience and patience. Given her memory, there are certain vets or dog daycares she will cry and try running away from if we are walking by. The true test of dog unhappiness. Fast forward to 2023, we’ve built trust and loyalty with our baby but the problem is she is still afraid of strangers and the unknown. She is al highly protective of her territory and will start barking (think a stranger walking up to me or a stranger entering our home). We’ve learned methods to make her feel safe and comfortable and ways strangers should approach. Basically it’s hard to find a dog sitter for her than the average dog. Most places are money machines and do not give her the time making her regress. Margaret is beyond words incredible. She knows how to work with all types of dogs including very shy dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges. She has ample experience and genuine care for animals. Also our dog is highly fearful of the breeds: huskies and German shepherds. Margaret has both and was able to get our dog comfortable going out on runs and walks with them. When we came to pick her up she was sad to go and saying bye to both Margaret, her partner John (another amazing human) and all their dogs. She loved all of them from Luma the chihuahua mix that made ours more social to the Willis and Jackson that made her confident to even Jackson who made her feel safe and like a queen. They even were flirting hahaha Never have we left our dog and received so many pictures and saw her so happy. She did not even want to leave when we picked her up and learned new commands in just one week like paw. Our dog even cried while we drove away and loved her new pack. Margaret said she fit right in. If Margaret and John open a doggie daycare, our pup would be there every day because we have never seen her so social and happy while remaining in a safe and controlled space. She was loved, fed like crazy (the way to her heart) but did not gain weight because of all the exercise, games and activities provided by this wonderful couple. Margaret is also an incredible trainer and has so much patience and love. I felt so easy on our holidays with my baby there, did not even think twice. We are beyond proud and since that week with Margaret she is a different dog. Sweeter, calmer and just more confident and trusting. Please open a daycare that this area so desperately needs. One thing- I recognize the price is expensive this was our biggest challenge but they are truly worth it!!”

“Chris was so incredibly kind to both me and my dog Sadie. She had the best week with him. He took her on long walks, cuddled with her and made sure she got all her love and exercise. He sent me beautiful photos twice a day and let me know how she slept and how she ate and made sure to respond right away when I messaged. He really was the best host. Both Sadie and I felt lucky!”

“Nina and Leo always take a great care of my dogs! Both Maru & Chance are very attached to them. Especially Chance who wants attention all the time was so happy with spending time together throughout his stay. It rained a lot, but Nina and Leo took them for a long walk on a sunny day in the weekend. They are trustworthy and observe my dogs very well.”

“Lavanya is very good with dogs, and took great care of our dog. She shared multiple updates with photos and videos throughout the stay. She far exceeded our expectations, moving her schedule around to make sure that our dog got enough playtime with her dog. Would certainly go back.”

About: We have two 15 year old senior dogs that live with us full time with all their senior shenanigans and trained a puppy a year ago for the in-laws. We also have experience fostering from nearby shelters when we have free time. We are currently working from home so your pet will have plenty of time around a trusted human! At least one of us is at home almost all the time. We have a large fenced front and back yard to allow you fur baby plenty of running room and sun baking time along with our own 2 elderly pups.

“Many thanks Yunjae for taking care of my Rocky. It was a pleasant stay and he enjoyed each day. She was taking care of him as it was her dog. Long walks in a nice places, runs together, much petting. Yunjae send me photos every day and told how my dog spent his day.”

“Tracy and her husband took really good care of Bocu! He was injured the week before and needed some extra care and they were really good with him :) Tracy was sending us pictures of Bocu and communicating with us at all times. It was great to see how Bocu was having a great time with them! This time it was a short weekend stay, but we will definitely repeat with them if we need to!”

“Mariam is great, I had her come over to my house to take my dog out for a stroller walk and also keep my dog at her house for several days while I was away. My dog seemed to get along well with her dog Savior. Mariam really loves dogs and will take good care of them.”

“We have been using Aoran for our fur babies whenever he is available and he has been outstanding in his care for our dogs. We trust that our dogs will be safe, fed, taken out, and have good company at their home. Our dogs are shelties and they are dogs who are not fond of strangers but they always enjoy their stay with Aoran and his wife. We get pictures as well so it’s nice to get updates! Thank you so much for having them again! We truly appreciate all the help every time! Highly recommend.”

“Fantastic! Was very available and flexible for meet and greet ahead of the boarding and for dropoff/pickup, responsive and easy to communicate with, and sent adorable pictures of my dog happily hanging with her dog and cats during the stay! My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up (which was embarrassing - I swear she’s happy at home too! - but I’m so glad she was happy and loved hanging with her new friends). She took a long nap when she got home after so much fun :) will definitely be a repeat client”
