Pet Sitting Menlo Park

“I can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for my entire life. I’ve regularly taken care of family pets, house/dog sat, and walked dogs. I also have a dog of my own who loves long walks, the park and snuggles. My schedule is variable week to week but I have more consistent weekend availability. I have availability for dog walks during the week as well. I want the fur babies to feel as comfortable as possible. I also want to stay on a consistent schedule that your pet is accustomed to.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.

About: Treat the puppies very gently and make friends with them. Please rest assured to entrust your family pets to me. I like animals very much. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care in the mornings and evenings. My daily routine is stable and organized, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for pets. I am currently continuing my studies, but I have plenty of availability to spend time with pets, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable experience for every pet I care for. I understand that your home is your pet’s safe place, and I will treat it with respect and care. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether they enjoy playtime, walks, or simply quiet companionship. I will keep food and water areas clean, maintain a tidy space, and provide photo updates so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide dependable, respectful care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

“Sara is incredibly reliable, responsible and excellent with Larry. He had a lot of fun and we are looking forward to continued visits.”

“Julia took such great care of our two kitties! She has a great personality, so warm and positive, and even her notes and pics she puts on the app each day capture this. We’re so lucky to have found her!”

“Rachel takes amazing care of our kitty Lilly, who has some high needs and is not the easiest cat to care for. She leaves us detailed notes each day and so many adorable pictures! I know Lilly is in good hands when we need to travel.”

“Alexa was responsible and detailed oriented. I booked a drop in visit and came back home to a happy and fulfilled dog! She was also great at understanding my reactive puppy and keeping him safe. I would recommend her and also book her again.”

About: I love animals and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I cared for my own cat for 18 years, so I’m very comfortable with senior cats and understand the patience, attention, and gentle care they need. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbors’ cats and cared for a small senior dog while they were away. I know how important it is to follow routines, give medications if needed, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm companion, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and personalized care while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time each day to providing attentive care for pets. I enjoy starting my mornings with walks and check-ins, and I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet’s routine is respected and that they receive the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special preferences. I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable and loved, whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing cuddle, or simply a calm companion nearby. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away.

“Danielle is the best sitter we had! We went on our trip abroad for a month and she took care of both of our kitties really well! She took care of the kitties medications and other needs perfectly! I would definitely recommend her as the sitter for your fur babies!”

“We knew our girl was in great hands with Sarah! And our dog immediately took to liking her! Would highly recommend her to anyone and would book again!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family always had dogs and I was trusted at a young age to feed, walk, and otherwise care for them (which included administering medication to dogs who were not always the most cooperative). I have also been riding horses competitively for over 20 years and was a member of the University of Georgia Division I Equestrian Team. Although I was surrounded by horses during my time in college, I desperately missed my family dogs and as a result started house and pet sitting for people in the Athens area. My junior year my roommate got a dog and I frequently chipped in to help with his care when she was out of town or had a particularly hectic schedule. After college I attended law school in Washington, DC where I continued to house and pet sit for my friends, other residents in my apartment building, and others in the community. I graduated from law school in May 2025 and have since moved back to the Bay Area (I grew up in Menlo Park) as I am in between professional opportunities. I have found that I have some extra time on my hands and so I thought I would get back to house and pet sitting, this time specifically through Rover. In the past I have always gotten clients through word of mouth, which is why my extensive experience is not necessarily reflected on my Rover profile. At this time I am house and pet sitting on a part time basis, but I have a lot of flexibility as most of my other daily commitments can be easily fulfilled from any location; this means that if you have a pet that prefers constant company I can easily work from your home so your pet can get everything they need. I feel comfortable administering medications and am used to feeding animals with more complicated diets/food regimes. I have experience caring for animals of all ages. I am responsible, trustworthy, communicative, detail oriented, and most importantly love animals, which means that you can be worry free while your pet is in my hands. I am also very neat and conscientious, so if I am staying at your home I will take very good care of your space and your plants (if necessary). At the moment I am house and pet sitting part time, but my schedule is quite flexible so I have quite a lot of availability. I can drop in for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, cat litter cleanings, etc basically every day of the week any time before 7:00 pm. My one schedule restriction is a weekly appointment on Wednesdays from 3:00 - 4:00. I update my availability often and will make sure that any other schedule restrictions that come up are reflected on there for your convenience. When it comes to house and pet sitting that involves me staying at your home, I am available for that any day of the week. I can complete most of my other professional commitments (Monday - Friday) remotely from your home, so your pet would not have to be alone all day while I went to work. I am unfortunately not able to bring your pet to my home at this time, so all care would occur at (or around in the case of walking) your home. I will follow whatever instructions you provide regarding the care of your pet. I feel comfortable administering medication, managing complicated diets, and dealing with picky eaters (my dog is a very picky eater and I have learned a lot of tactics that work well for him and other dogs I have cared for). If your pet uses any sort of automatic feeder, litter box, etc I am a fast learner and feel confident that I would be able to work with most devices of this sort. I likely would generally walk your pet around your neighborhood, but if time permits and that is something you would like/feel comfortable with I am happy to take your pet to a local dog park, park, hike, etc. My dog loves playing with frisbees and balls, so if that is something your pet enjoys I would be more than happy to do that as well.

About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! In the past I have worked at a pet care and boarding facility for over four years and I have four pets of my own. Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size. Older dogs that might need medication are also no problem. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. My biggest goal is building trust with and your fur baby and providing the best care possible. I currently work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am available when needed! I can also be very flexible on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. When taking care of your baby my biggest goal is to gain their trust and do all the fun things you would normally do. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and shower them with love. I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible, especially after 5pm I can accept more bookings. On the weekends I am completely open and accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would really enjoy playing your pets, taking them on walks, and anything that you recommend doing that you know they would really enjoy. Making sure they are comfortable and happy is my biggest priority.

Skills/Qualifications: - Patient, attentive, and responsible ❤️ - Comfortable with walks, feeding, and playtime 🦮 - Maintaining daily routines 🏡 - Senior care 🐾 - Medication administration 💊 - Keeping you updated with photos/videos 📸 I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology through New York University.

I’ll also follow any specific instructions from the pet parent to make sure their pet feels comfortable while they’re away.

“My dogs can be a handful but from their very first introduction, they loved Octavia and she was so good with them! She's a lovely person and a great caretaker and I'm happy to have found someone I trust.”

About: Animals have always been my jam. One of my favorite quotes is, "Dogs are angels sent down by god to teach us how to unconditionally love". When I'm surrounded by animals I feel at peace and because of that they feel content and loved. I've always had connections with animals on a very deep level. I feel they have so much to teach us and that earning an animals trust is one of life's most highest honors. With all my friends and family I've always been "chosen" by their cats and have been their dogs favorite person outside the family. I have a gift with animals that has allowed me the privilege to take care of and connect with many throughout the years. I do most of my work at home online and I'm a homebody so my pet care is part of my normal daily routine. I want them to feel that they're never alone. I feed, walk, play games cuddle and treat them as my own.If they need medicine, I can help with that as well. The hardest part of doing a service like this is when I leave them I miss them dearly until next time I see them.

“Vivian is very responsive and took good care of out cats when we are away. She also took a lot of good pictures for our cats in the notes. I will strongly recommend Vivian to all nearby pet owners :)”
