Pet Sitting in Palo

“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment

“Avri was perfect for our little puppy!! She brought her 1 year old dog to socialize and even sent me pictures and video updates from their play time! We can’t wait to hire her in the future for our fur baby!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.

“Shelley was a great communicator and she sent a lot of pictures! Buster obviously enjoyed his time with her based on the photos. Thank you for taking care of him, Shelley!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

“Landon did great with our two dogs! He responded really quickly to my request and went above and beyond for our pups. We received photos and an update on who went potty, etc. Will be booking again 😊”

“First time using Rover and Char was great. Silver and Keekee were happy and healthy when we got home!”

“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”

Jacob M.

“Miranda is very friendly, caring and thoughtful! Her in-home service for our cat(s) allowed us to take a worry-free vacation. We will definitely seek her services in the future!”

About: I started house/baby/pet-sitting right our of high school. We have 4 cats of our own and have fostered several others. I provide attentive, loving care and always treat pets like family, because they are. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, clean and make sure your fur-baby feels safe and happy while you're away. I stick closely to their routine if requested, give lots of playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Whether it's walks, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to give your pet the care they deserve. I'm a responsible adult and will care about your pets AND your space as if it's my own. I want you to come home from your travels to things having been taken care of and clean, with attention to details: cleaned bowls, clean litter boxes and floors swept. I'm currently own my own business, so pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s needs. I'm available most days to provide consistent, loving care. I make sure each visit is focused, stress-free, and tailored to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and happy while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. For overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe and comforted throughout the night, sticking closely to their usual schedule. During drop-in visits, I give them focused attention, clean up after them, and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable before I leave. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—my parents have always had at least three, so caring for pets has been part of my life from the start. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own, and I also volunteer at the humane society. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including energetic puppies and seniors who need extra care. I volunteer and substitute at local elementary schools during the week, so my schedule can vary, but I’m very flexible and can make almost anything work! I’m available Monday through Friday for walks, drop-ins, and care. No matter what, I’ll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Your pet will get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I can easily crate if needed and will always follow your care instructions carefully. You’ll also receive regular photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

“How did I get so lucky to find a pet caregiver like Nadine. My 10-lb. Chinese Crested Terrier mix is diabetic and needed someone who had the comfortable skill of giving him his daily shots. Not only is Tiago pleased with my choice of his caregiver, but Dion, my Persian cat is thinking “purr-fect” for me too. Nadine enjoys her work - truly a pet lover and my pets know it. Tiago meets her at the door and Dion does to if he is up - needs his beauty sleep! Nadine is a ‘keeper’ and will be invited back time and time again in my home to care for my special pets.”

“The dogs love Makenna! Very reliable and fantastic, detailed communication about how our fur babies are doing. We (and the dogs) look forward to her future visits.”

About: I've had animals in my family since I was a kid so I am very familiar and comfortable around all sorts of animals. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Such as Shia tzus, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepards, and German Shepards.I have experience giving a cat insulin and providing medicine day and night to both dogs and cats. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs. I have stayed the night at friend's houses when pet sitting and I have no fears of any kind of animal. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I do play pickleball about 5 times a week and workout but those are activities that can be moved around to best fit your schedule. Pickleball is only about 3 hours of my day so it won't interfere with any pet duties I may have. In my home we use a company called Halo to keep my dog in my lawn so I am familiar with electric fences its technology. I always stay outside when letting my dog out for the bathroom and know how to work a leash when talking them on walks. I clean litter boxes and pick up poop. I have experience taking care of pets in their home but since I have animals of my own and no fence, I will not be available to take care of pets in my home.

“Mellette was so patient and great with our cats while we were out of town. She encouraged them to spend time with her without overwhelming their space. She let them get used to her at their own pace. We loved getting daily report cards and photos from Mellette. We will definitely use her again!”
