Pet Sitting Palo Alto

About: I have been dog sitting since I was in high school for friends and families dogs. I have two dogs of my own - a pit bull and yellow lab. I have been working on TrustedHouse Sitters for a while now and decided to try Rover out! I am an active, social person that loves to take dogs on walks, play with animals, and give them all the cuddles they want. I am currently a Nuclear Medicine student that mostly spends afternoons and evenings at home studying, so having a companion would be amazing! I thrive off of helping people out and being around both animals and humans! I am at clinicals for 8 hours a day, so I like to look for places nearby Stanford hospital. I wake up at around 5-6am, get ready and take the dogs for a walk, feed them and give them attention before being at the hospital from 8am-4pm. After clinicals, I make sure to walk the dogs first thing when I get back, and play with them whether that be fetch, pets, cuddles, etc. I love my long walks so if you are looking for a dog walker, I'm there! I always to make sure when I get home from clinicals, to walk the dogs and give them all of the attention they need! I keep homes tidy and respect people's space. I understand what it could be like to let someone in your home, and I will do my best to make you feel comfortable with both your home and pets. I am gone during the day for clinicals and spend most nights inside with the animals.

“Savannah is so caring and responsible. It's such a relief when she is taking care of our kitties. You can always count on her to keep your pets safe and happy!”

About: I have extensive experience taking care of reactive and high-maintenance dogs, including my own. I am comfortable dealing with aggressive dogs and will do everything in my power to make your dog feel safe and relaxed on walks or while I keep them company at home. I have spent years cultivating a trusting relationship with my own senior rescue dog who requires special bathing and walking care in his old age and who was extremely anxious and aggressive with other dogs in his younger years. I have been a reliable dog-walker for friends and neighbors who trust me to take care of both their low- and high-needs dogs. I am very patient, and I understand that establishing a positive and trusting relationship with any animal takes time and effort. I look forward to meeting your wonderful pet! I am a PhD student at Stanford with a moderately flexible schedule. Typically I work 9-5 weekdays. For dog walking, it is easiest for me to walk in the later afternoon, starting around 4pm. I am open to house sitting as long as you live near Stanford campus (I have a bike, but no car). For pet sitting, I usually plan a short walk/play time in the morning, a longer walk in the late afternoon, and a short walk/play time in the evening. I am more flexible on weekends. I believe that building a relationship with pets takes time, and I am willing to put in the effort to establish and bond with your pet. This will make the experience better for both of us! I am happy to play with pets in the home and enjoy giving belly rubs too.

“This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!”

“Sjofn was soooooo happy to get so many belly rubs she was thrilled and didn’t want them to leave. I highly recommend Guilherme and his wife. Sjofn would be thrilled to get more belly rubs and I would be happy to have them watch her again :)”

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.

“Ka Ying was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! She is friendly, communicative, punctual, and took great care in feeding and entertaining the kittens.”

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.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have years of professional pet care experience, including completing more than 400 dog walks, and I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also a yoga and Pilates instructor, so staying active is a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to take an energetic pup on a long, active walk, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for a senior dog or a pup who prefers to stop and sniff every few feet! Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is for them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I truly love animals and would be delighted to get to know yours! 🐾

About: We are an engaged couple looking for more opportunities to spend quality time with pets! We’ve been trusted dog and cat sitters for friends and family for years, and recently decided to give Rover a try. We’d love to provide your pet with extra love, attention, and care while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, and we’re sure we will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs thanks to my dad, who is a veterinarian and ran his own animal hospital in Europe. From a young age I loved helping out at the clinic, learning how to care for animals and building a natural connection with dogs of all kinds. I am now moving to Stanford to study a master’s in medicine, and I really miss having dogs around. Spending time with them has always been something that makes me happy, so I would love to take care of your dog and give them the same love and attention I would give my own 🐶 I am friendly, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs. También hablo español! My schedule can vary day to day, but I do my best to stay flexible. Feel free to check my calendar and send me a message to confirm availability. I will be based in Stanford starting mid-September! When I care for your pet in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after in their own environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of exercise, and time for play and companionship, not just quick visits. If your dog needs medication or any special care, I’m attentive and careful to follow directions closely. I also keep their space clean and make sure they’re relaxed and settled while you’re away. I love keeping you updated, I’ll send photos, videos, and even little collages of our walks so you can see where we’ve been and how many miles we covered. Looking forward to meeting your dog 🐶

“Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.”

Alicia N.

About: I grew up around dogs and even fostered a few throughout my college years. I have the strength to walk any dog and am very active if they need lots of walking. I understand their personalities and always lead with love🐶 I’m currently working part time and am always open to working around your schedule. Weekends during the day are always busier for me but I’m flexible and will put your pet first. Pets at my home have the apartment to run free, although I do not have outdoor space those who require it will get more than enough outdoor time. I spend most of my time outdoors and they are always welcome to join.

“Danielle took such good care of our kitty while we were away for a 1 week trip! She was so communicative and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about how our girl was doing. You can tell she loves animals and taking care of them like they’re her own 🥰”

About: Besides working my morning job I love to take care pets. I used to pet care couple years and have helped my aunt with her 3 dogs that needed daily walks! I always took care of them as if they were my own! I also have experience with elderly dogs who needed more attention and needed to be given medication daily. I enjoy going outside long or short walks and it’s always great to have a walking partner! I have a one full time job, so this would be 8 hour shifts. I mostly work early in the morning. But besides that I would love to be your pets new playmate! I can adjust and make the free time around my working hours. So please don’t hesitate to reach out! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own! Meaning they will be given unconditional love lots of playtime and attention! With my own pet she is the queen of the house and I am there to take care of her the best I can! You won’t have to worry while they are with me!

About: I've taken care of both large and small dogs one on one and in play group settings. As well as I currently own a cat. Curre the I work so I am available in the morning for walks and evenings. I can do care at your home when needed. Thanks. Caring for pets in your home I make sure all entry ways are closed so your dog and or cat does not escape. When I come and arrive I will communicate.

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

“Jane is very detailed oriented, responsible and follows the instructions well with my cats. I would definitely use her service again.”
