About: I’m a physician at Stanford who brings patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to caring for your pet. I've owned both cats and dogs my whole life and I'm comfortable taking care of them - and understand the importance of attention and supportive care. My approach is to learn their routine, respect their personality, and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys an active walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor our time to their needs. You can expect clear communication, photo updates, and careful attention to your instructions. I've watched both cats and dogs at my home for the past 5 years. I’m a physician currently doing dedicated research, which allows me to work from home between lab visits and meetings. If I list myself as available then I will be home nearly all the time, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention. I’ll confirm my schedule with you before booking to make sure it fits your pet’s needs. There are no other pets in my home. Having had both cats and dogs since childhood, I miss their company and would love to care for yours! I’ll give your pet time to settle in, follow their usual feeding and care routines, and provide playtime or quiet companionship depending on their personality. You can expect regular photos and updates while you’re away.
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
“Izzy jumps into Isabel's lap when she comes to pick him up.. she gives him the most delicious treats and the warmest hugs. To tell the truth, I'm a little jealous of their relationship, haha!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up rescuing and caring for cats and dogs, and my family has always shared our home with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and neighbours, and I’ve also trained our family dog in basic commands. My calm and gentle nature helps me connect easily with cats—earning their trust and providing comfort—while my active side makes me a great match for energetic dogs. I love hiking, long walks, and outdoor play, giving dogs both exercise and mental stimulation. No matter the pet, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and understood, always respecting their unique personalities and needs. I work remotely with a team based in Europe, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day to provide pets with exercise, attention, and care. I provide pet care both in my home and in the pet parent’s home, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions closely. Whenever possible, I also like to meet pets beforehand to get to know their personality, habits, and needs.
About: I'm open to most types of pet sitting and have a hybrid work approach so more often than not am able to stay for the majority of the day with your furry child! I love walking in general, playing with dogs, cats, and appreciate that every pet has their own personality. Pet setting has always been a source of joy in my life and creating long standing relationships with families and their pets. It is such an amazing feeling to be treated with a wagging tail or a tail straight up depending on the pet :) and know that sending photos of their fur friend is bringing peace of mind to a family. I understand how much a pet means and am willing to go the extra mile to fit your families needs. I'm a graduate student getting a masters in clinical psychology in the evenings, which means I am available most days of the week and weekend during the day. I know I'm in good company here in saying that I treat my own cat like she's a part of my family. With any animal I'm taking care of I do my best to adhere to the schedule that the pet is used to in an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy when their family is away from them. I usually like to get to know what each pet likes and make sure we are trying to do some of their favorite activities to make their time positive. I make a concerted effort to keep the home neat and tidy each day so that the pet is also feeling clean and comfortable, but also so that the owners know that I respect not only their pet but their home. Depending on the preference of the owner I find it fun to send a small daily update which includes a photo and how the pet is doing overall.
About: My name is Tiffany! I am a dog mommy to my Yorkshire Terrier, Bella. I am 23 years old with a very bubbly personality.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Menlo Park
James and Obi hit it off right from the start. James is punctual, kind, friendly, and great at handling a big dog who pulls when he sees squirrels or other dogs. I feel like my doggo is in great hands with him. Highly recommend James, and we will definitely be booking regular walks with him!
Anna was so helpful and didn’t hesitate to support dog walking and feeding both our dog and cat when we decided to go on a last minute day trip. We recently moved to Menlo Park and are so grateful to have found Anna! Looking forward to having Anna’s support with our animals more in the future.
Michele was great! This was our first time using Michele, and our first time using Rover. Our dog was happy when we got home, and Michele was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We are very happy we connected with her and plan to use her again to care for our beloved dog!
This was our first time using Regina, and even though we weren’t able to meet beforehand, we felt surprisingly comfortable leaving our guy in her care! She was very responsive, sent updates and pictures (always helps put us ant ease!), and communicated well throughout. Rainier can sometimes be a puller and certainly over overexcitable at times— Regina seemed confident handling him, which we really appreciated. would definitely love to have her help again in future!
I would highly recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful dog walker! He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He always posts cute photos of Oreo and takes him on nice, long walks. I come home to a happy, relaxed dog every day, and I have Cameron to thank for that!
