House Sitting Palo Alto

“We absolutely loved Genevieve, but more importantly, our little pups loved her. Genevieve is a fantastic communicator, clearly loves dogs, and was so respectful of our space, a calming presence for our girls who were wondering who this new person was in their habitat. We would have her come back anytime we weren't able to travel with the pups. My only hesitation in leaving a glowing review is that she won't be available for us because you will all want to book her.”

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing! we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and her personality really shines through, she’s warm, funny, and genuinely kind. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the dogs. Roku and Toki were so well loved and cared for, and she went above and beyond not just with them but with our home too. She even rolled out the trash for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Roku can be a bit difficult on walks and tends to pull, but Kimberly handled him so patiently and confidently. That really meant a lot to us knowing he was in capable hands. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring.”

“Ian was absolutely amazing. They took wonderful care of our two sweet cats, and sent us regular updates. When we returned, our house was immaculate. We will absolutely be booking with Ian again in the future!”

“We reached out to Cordigen with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible from our very first messages and meeting. She immediately recognized that our pup needed support with calm greetings and was so thoughtful in how she approached her, speaking softly and offering gentle, kind reminders to Scout not to jump. Throughout the day, Cordigen was wonderfully communicative, sending photos and updates so we always knew how Scout was doing. She even played calming music on the TV and was happily playing with Scout in the backyard when I arrived home. At pickup, she gave a detailed rundown of the day, from bathroom breaks to how she helped Scout stay calm when she heard noises outside. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Cordigen as a sitter and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, especially for dogs who may be a bit anxious or need extra help staying calm. Thank you, Cordigen!”

“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”

About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I have been a pet parent for over 25 years to rabbits, guinea pigs and 4 dogs with 2 of them of senior age. All 4 dogs were raised since they were puppies and they are currently based in my hometown with my parents when I moved here. My intuition and experience allow me to provide your pet with the best care and most comfortable environment away from home, so rest assured that they are in good hands. Let’s chat! I’m mostly available during weekdays from 7am to 12 midnight and certain weekends. Date and timings can be further discussed if you require my services. I have a balcony at home and have space available for your pet to roam around freely if needed. Happy to chat more to see what else you’ll require

“Marion took terrific care of my shy Charlie....who warmed up to her quickly. She was communicative, self sufficient and left the house tidy. Bonus, sweet kitty updates!”

“MJ, with only a one day notice provided excellent house sitting services for my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Sherman is also a large and strong GSP and MJ handled him with such delicate and professional care. MJ went above and beyond to provide training, and improved Shermans leash aggression. I just can't say enough about how grateful I am that Rover has such quality people like MJ. I feel like I found my Rover. Can't wait to book again.”

“Victoria was fantastic with Piggy and Toast. She was kind, reliable, a great communicator, and sent us lovely photo updates while we were away. The dogs clearly adored her, and we came home to an incredibly tidy house. We’re so happy we found her and would absolutely book her again!”

“Trinia is a very professional dog carer. She is kind, competent and very reliable. I feel completely comfortable leaving Maxi with her and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

About: I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for both dogs and cats over the years, giving me hands on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. With dogs, I have experience raising one since he was a puppy, so I’m familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention they need as they grow. I have experience with daily walks, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping dogs safe during walks by being mindful of things like hot pavement with this summer weather. Additionally, I taught my dog fun tricks including “sit” and “paw,” which Im willing to teach if wanted. I have even more experience with cats, having cared for my own cat for over three years as well as multiple kittens and stray cats. Through this experience, I’ve learned to recognize their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide the care and affection they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets. My goal is for both you and your furry family member to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free while you’re apart. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which means I’m available for bookings throughout the whole week! Feel free to reach out anytime as I’d love to help care for your furry family members whenever you need a reliable sitter or walker. Please feel free to let me know before I care for your pet if you have any special requests, routines, or precautions you’d like me to follow. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible while you’re away. For example, if they don’t like being petted in certain areas, have specific feeding or medication schedules, need extra patience around new people or other animals, have favorite toys or walking routes, or have any other unique preferences, I’d be more than happy to accommodate them. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to providing the personalized care they deserve.

“As always, CJ is the best. Not only for how he takes care of our furry friend Simon, but also for keeping the house spotless and paying attention to all the details. We were away from home for 8 days and couldn't be more grateful. We love you CJ.🤗”

“John was kind, attentive, and caring to our shy little dog, Milo, and our crazy goofus, Ozzie. He sent us lots of photos and videos during our week away, and the house was left in immaculate condition. We couldn't be more pleased.”

Roger M.

“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”

Ann E.

“Zoe is the most patient person! She did not push herself on our rescue dogs, she let them slowly warm up to her. Our one dog, whose favorite place is under a bed or behind a couch, ended up sitting next to Zoe and letting her pet him. Amazing! Zoe has made a real difference in our dogs lives and we feel much better about taking trips now.”

Joan S.

“Stephanie was amazing with my two anxious dogs! She was so patient and sweet and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos which really gave me peace of mind. It's obvious how much she cares about the well being of animals and has a gift working with them. She also left my house spotless. I highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting!”

Cat L.

“Renee was a great sitter! She watched three of our dogs (two of which are very high energy puppies!) and did an awesome job. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Mike F.

“Shalese was excellent as always! We know Dre loves we she comes to care for him and she does a fantastic job! Her updates are perfect and she always leaves our apartment clean and well taken care of as well.”

Catherine M.

“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

About: I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~ Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :) I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.
