Pet Sitting in Portola Valley

“Kristine was so wonderful when we had family in town. She was very flexible on timing and showed up exactly when she said she would. Kristine was so kind and helpful to our pups who had to get fed at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book her again!”

“Cordigen was very caring. She noted everything I said and went above and beyond to take care of Nayo. Nayo was so happy every day when she came! We had a great peace of mind the few days we were away.”

“I'm so glad we found Fabiola, she was a wonderful caretaker to our rabbits. She came over before our trip to make sure she understood what was necessary and was communicative throughout. She was very thorough, leaving their space very clean. She was also kind and we will definitely book her again!”

About: Hi all pet parents! I may be new to offering pet care professionally, but I bring over many years of hands-on experience volunteering with dog rescues. I truly love dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m known for being patient, gentle, and encouraging, especially with shy or high energy pups. At home, I am a proud pet parent to a senior Golden Retriever and two cats, so I understand the importance of reliable, loving care. Whether it is a walk, playtime, or keeping your cat company, I will treat your pets like my own with attention, kindness, and lots of love. I work part-time, so my schedule is quite flexible. I am available Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and happy to help on short notice. I can easily fit feeding, litter cleaning, walking and playtime into your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I prioritize safety, comfort, and a stress-free experience for every pet. At your home, I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, litter cleaning, and playtime, making sure your dog or cat feels happy and secure. I keep your home tidy and respect your space. I am patient, gentle, and attentive, providing plenty of love and attention so your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away. Please note: I do not offer boarding services, but I am happy to provide visits at your home.

“From the beginning of the booking to the last visit, Rachel was great! Each rover card provided great detail of the visits, keeping our minds at ease. And she was super accommodating when we wanted to add a last minute visit to the stays. Highly recommend her services and will definitely use her services for future bookings!”

“Our cat Sesame loved Thien-Nha! We were also able to enjoy our time away knowing she was in her capable and caring hands. Very reliable and excellent communication - will definitely book her again!”

About: I will walk to crap out of your dog. Take that figuratively or literally as you please. Regardless, after our walks they'll come home totally tuckered out. I love dogs and have years of experience caring for dogs and house sitting. I grew up with large Chesapeake bay retrievers and am comfortable walking large dogs. I have a 1.5 year old basset hound. Aesthetically speaking, I am a sucker for a long, low canine. But I love all breeds and can't wait to meet your dog for a walk or a run outside! Can provide references. I'm currently looking for work, so have wide availability to care for your dog/cat. I am used to walking my own dog 2-3 times per day, plus training sessions and K9 nose work practice. If you are working on obedience with your dog, I'm happy to continue to provide training sessions as well while sitting them. At my home, I have a fenced yard with a 1.5 year old basset hound to keep your pups company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and much prefer to arrange a meet and greet before sitting whenever possible to make sure your pup feels safe and confident in my care.

About: I’m a current Stanford student missing my best friend back home! So I have lots of extra love to give. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs (my sweet girl is 12 years old!). I personally understand how important it is to find a sitter/walker you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and care, I’ll treat them like my own. I also have experience with senior dogs and working with reactive dogs on leash. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m currently training for a half marathon and would love a running buddy! I'm available all-day from Saturday to Monday for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting. I can also do walks/check-ins after 3pm on Tuesday, Thursday mornings/afternoons, and after 5pm on Fridays. I understand how important walk and play-time is for dogs, so I'll provide the most enriching time possible! I will only care for your pet in your home. Let me know about your dog's schedule and routine and I will accommodate to best fit their needs!

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them truly makes me happy. I currently have six cats, two dogs, fish, and foster kittens. I genuinely love animals and do this because I care—not just for the pay. I’m very patient, organized, and loving, and I treat every pet like my own. I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾💗 I’m in school and have sports during the weekdays, but I love spending my weekends doing something fun and meaningful. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule and lets me help others while doing what I love most—caring for animals and meeting new pets. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always excited to give pets extra love and attention on weekends! 🐾💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m very attentive, responsible, and follow all care instructions closely. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and plenty of care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾💛

“5 stars, very professional and did a great job.”

“Michele was great at taking care of my older cat. She communicated very well, made sure he was fed properly, and took care of everything else that was needed. I would definitely try to book Michele again!”

Nicole H.

“Genevieve was so great with our two cats! She was so kind and really went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. She was also easy to reach, and sent lots of pictures of the cats, which we really appreciated. We would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, with more professional sitting services beginning in 2015. I have been able to alleviate the stress of traveling and leaving behind cherished fur babies, which is such a great feeling. Why stress them out if you can have reliable and loving care in home. I work a job that is semi flexible, allowing for me to travel to your home when needed. I work remotely once or twice a week and I’m happy to stay in your home to care for your babies. I’m the type of person that will want to know how you care for your pet. I want to care for your pet as similarly to you as possible, without interrupting usual routines. I’m very flexible about schedules.

“Best pet sitter ever! She’s become like part of our extended family, I feel so much better when I have to travel knowing she’ll be here to be with our kitties!”

About: I have grown up with and been around different dogs my whole life. My cat experience is more recent, within the last 10 years. I volunteered with the Oregon Humane Society from 2018-2023, both in shelter and fostering at home (dogs & cats). I started individual pet care services with local fur babies in 2022 (started in Portland & now I’m back in the Bay). I love puppies, but have a soft spot for senior dogs and cats. Available for regular dog walking, adventure, transportation, boarding, drop in visits & possible in home sitting or boarding. My resident fur babies in my home include a ~17yo female cat (Floofy), ~3yo female poodle/chi/mix (Patches/Lil P) & ~5yo male chi weenie - all spayed/neutered and friendly with people and other animals. Two other humans in the home help care for all pets. Additional references upon request. THANK YOU for considering me to care for your fur baby/fur babies! I am employed full time as a pet caregiver right now. My schedule is flexible. I am available for house/pet sitting, walks and drop in visits. Available for doggie day care and boarding on occasion, please just ask! Always happy to do a meet and greet before any service, but I require one before your fur baby stays (overnight) in my home. Please message me if you have any questions or want to book with me. I try to update my calendar ASAP, but never hesitate to reach out as I am very responsive either way. I’m super hopeful we can make something work for you and yours! Your pet can be contained (kennel you provide), or have full free access to my home and fenced backyard. I love providing you with lots of photos and videos of and other details about your fur babies during our time together! I am always open to any questions, meet & greets, and providing needed transportation.

“Teagan is a gem of a sitter and I really appreciated all the detailed notes and care she provided for my senior cat while I was traveling. She’s responsive and sends so many great photos!”

“Hannah took fantastic care of our Roo! For a cat notoriously slow to warm up to strangers, he fell in love with Hannah immediately. We received thorough updates and adorable photos every day, and we will definitely be booking with Hannah again.”

Hannah W.

“We’ve booked Kelsey multiple times and we’re so happy to find our go to sitter! She is communicative, kind, and Beowulf loves her! Absolutely will book her in the future!”
