Dog Boarding in Southgate, Palo Alto

“Samuel is a caring, conscientious, loving person who has a true feeling for dogs. He is an excellent communicator by text and phone and sends photos and videos of my little guy happily walking, playing, and sleeping. My 20-pounder connected with Samuel’s own sweet little guy. Bagheera looks forward to more visits with Samuel!”

“Tracy and her husband were gentle and caring with Princess, ensuring that she felt welcome, safe, and comfortable in their home. They provided regular updates on meals and potty breaks, including pictures and the occasional silly video. Thank you for opening up your home, I will use you in the future”

“Amazing experience with Jodie and her mom watching Archie! We felt the entire time like he was in the best hands. We had many updates daily, photos and videos and he was very well socialized and excercized. They treated him like their own! We appreciate them so much!”

“Step was great with Ichigo! I was so happy to hear that Ichigo had a great time with his dog Hugo and his family as well. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!”

“Hector and Shannon made me feel really good about this platform. I am extremely grateful they were so kind, understanding and responsive. I highly recommend this incredible couple.”

“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”

“Jessica had great communication with me, sending updates with great pictures. She asked good questions before boarding and was very accommodating. She also made sure to give my active dog lots of exercise. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

“MinJun and Mi Ran took great care of Lava during his stay. He can be a fussy eater sometimes, and they were very patient with him, trying different options and making sure that he didn’t go hungry. They took him out on walks and kept me updated with photos and videos! They even took him out for a drive and arranged a play date too! He came back home very happy!”

“Our dog seemed to really enjoy her stay at Sid’s home. The front and back yards were very dog friendly. Sid’s dog, Plato, was a cute and enjoyable companion for their yard adventures. Sid followed our instructions and sent us daily updates which we found very reassuring. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“Marivel was really great! She sent us regular photos and video of our dog, and sent messages about him via Rover. She was very accommodating with our schedule for drop-off and pickup. We'd use her services again.”

“India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”

About: I cared for dogs for about 5 years now. I owned a Maltese and Collie when I was young and currently a Labrador retriever. I have a wide range of experiences with caring for large, medium, and small dogs. I’ve gotten the opportunity to learn to bathe animals for sometime and taught my doggy’s basic skills such as sit, stay, and paw. I’m a stay at home mother with an online business and working from home with 3 teenagers. In the morning I walk the dogs from 7-8am than in the afternoon I give them fun activities to do at home and in the evening I would bring them to the dog park to socialize around 5-6 I have a lovely space for our and your dogs can rest in and in the morning I would attend to their needs such as daily exercise at the park or other

“Jessica was super flexible about drop off and pick up hours for our cat Max. I was looking for help watching our cat during job interviews over Zoom (Max is known to make surprise appearances). Jessica helped us out with short notice, working around several things she already had on the calendar to help us out! Thank you!!!”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with Maggie, sent daily updates with adorable photos, and was extremely responsive and attentive. Can't recommend or thank Michelle enough for her caretaking.”

“Tammy was a great host for our dog, took him for daily walks and hikes, gave him lots of toys to play with and care of him during his 2 weeks stay! Tammy sent also me daily pictures, which my kids really appreciated. We will book again!”

“Keira had a fantastic stay with Margaret and her pack! I was nervous to leave our 4mo German Shepherd pup with someone so soon after getting her, and for 10 days to boot. Margaret made me feel confident that she had it covered and Keira integrated nicely into their pack. I appreciate that Margaret had a consistent schedule, providing structure for Keira, and I received a steady stream of fun updates--photos, videos, anecdotes--that made me smile and put me at ease. I love that Keira became close with one of her dogs, Ranger, and I felt very good about her getting consistent socialization at her young age. Keira came back having learned the 'down' command, jumping up less frequently, and being more disciplined than when we left her. Such a relief to have a dependable dog guru available to care for her. Super grateful to Margaret and excited to be able to book her again for stays in the future.”

“She did an excellent job to take care of my dog. She updated how my dog doing daily. Definitely, I will use her services again and refer to other.”

About: We both grew up with dogs, and now we have a dog of our own. She is a year and a half old so we have recent experience with puppies and doing training. We typically go for a long walk in the morning, play fetch at the park in the afternoon, and go on another walk or two before bed time. We will be sure to send you lots of photo updates throughout the day. We live right next to Rengstorff park, which has a fenced-in dog park as well as open grassy areas, so your dog can get plenty of outdoor time. We will be happy to carefully follow any specific instructions you may have.
