Pet Sitting in Stanford

“Trina is always responsive, always gives very fulsome updates, and is extremely reliable. My pup Arwen really loves spending time with her. She is great.”

Alex C.

About: I am a compassionate and reliable dog walker with years of experience caring for and advocating for dogs through rescue work and pet ownership. At present I am volunteering with Doggie Protective Services in Palo Alto. Having shared my life with dogs for more than 30 years, I understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and eye drops, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. After recently relocating to Menlo Park from San Diego, I am excited to get to know the local community—both the humans and the dogs! While I am unable to offer boarding at this time, I would love the opportunity to provide your pup with an enjoyable walk, a fun play session, or a caring visit filled with attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I’m new to the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area and would love the opportunity to meet and care for your dog! As the owner of a part-time in-home charcuterie business, I enjoy a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some companionship while you're away, or a little extra exercise and attention, I’m happy to help. And don't worry—I can always fit your dog in between slicing cheese! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe every dog is unique, and I’m happy to tailor each visit to whatever makes your pet most comfortable and excited. Whether that means a leisurely neighborhood walk on leash, a trip to the dog park, a game of fetch in your backyard, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Every visit is filled with plenty of affection, belly rubs, cuddles, and love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I regularly walk my family’s dogs as well as my neighbors dogs. I have experience with puppies and taking care of my blind dog. I am home from college for the summer starting my own business and working part-time. I have a very open schedule and I am looking forward to being around animals this summer I would regularly walk and play with a dog, basically whatever the pet owners would like me to do. As far as it comes to cats if they are friendly and like to play with toys, that is something I would do otherwise I would just hang out to be around them.

“Ka Ying is pleasant, responsive, and patient. She gave me peace of mind during her visit with my cat, and handled instruction updates with grace. Highly recommend her for your dog or cat! Thanks again Ka Ying.”

“Rachel takes amazing care of our kitty Lilly, who has some high needs and is not the easiest cat to care for. She leaves us detailed notes each day and so many adorable pictures! I know Lilly is in good hands when we need to travel.”

About: I can provide loving leadership for your dog that is consistent and reliable. I love dogs but I’m not allowed to have pets where I live so I’m excited for the opportunity to help with your dog(s). I work full time from Monday-Friday in the office (9am-5:30pm) but if you’re in the Menlo Park area I can drop in during my lunch. I can go for morning and evening walks, along with trips to the dog park if you want to socialize your dog. My weekends are totally free so I have ample time to spend them to train, socialize and keep your dog company. Dogs need structure and a safe space to feel confident. With my own dog, she had a kennel and a dedicated space where she can decompress but also find ways to get energy out. I’d keep that same energy for all my clients! I’d foster a place of structure and training along with balancing play when it is time.

About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.

“Outstanding support and help with our 9-1/2 year old lab while we were out of town. Very attentive, gracious and caring in looking after our dog. Will absolutely use again if she is willing to watch Moose again.”

About: I have a 14 year old beagle corgi mix. Happy to do walks and drop in visits for your pups. Feel free to reach out! I am currently working from home, but I would love to care for your pups if there are times when you need that additional support. I have taken care of my friends’ dogs. I am very detailed oriented in following directions for those with special needs. I am also open to walks during the drop-in visits.

“Danielle has watched my cats twice, and I would have her take care of them again. The first time my cat, Ozzie, was ill and required both oral medications and an inhaler, which Danielle was able to provide. She was very flexible when plans changed after Ozzie unfortunately passed away after I booked another stay. Her updates with each visit are very thorough so I know exactly what has happened. I appreciate her great communication and care for my babies.”

“Audra was awesome! Sent great pictures and very communicative. Will book again!”

About: I grew up raising three dogs and have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I now have a dog of my own, Kylo Bear, a fully trained Goldendoodle/Aussie mix who keeps life fun and active. I’m extremely dedicated, detail-oriented, and truly love being around dogs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide lots of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Kylo is very well trained, and I’m happy to help reinforce training, routines, and good habits during my time with your dog if that’s something you’d like incorporated. I understand how important routines, patience, and communication are when caring for someone else’s pet, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup loves being active or just wants cuddles and company, I’ll care for them like family. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work from home. I structure my day around breaks for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and outdoor time, so dogs are never left without attention or company for long periods. Having my own dog, Kylo Bear, already makes pet care part of my everyday life. He’s fully trained and well-behaved, and I’m used to incorporating walks, training reinforcement, and structured activity throughout the day. Outside of regular work hours, I love being active with dogs, taking them on longer walks or even jogs if they enjoy it. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to match each dog’s needs, whether that means more exercise, more play, or a calmer environment. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every dog in my care. Because I work from home, dogs are supervised throughout the day and are rarely left alone for extended periods. I build my schedule around their needs, including regular walks, feeding routines, playtime, and rest. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable, clean, and low-stress space where they can relax and feel secure. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, and I adjust activity accordingly. Whether that means structured play, enrichment, or quiet downtime. Safety is always my top priority. Walks are done on leash, and I’m mindful of each dog’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level in different environments. I also follow any instructions closely and keep owners updated with communication and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Juneau really seemed to like her. We had our home camera on and Mara was very appropriate in the home. She was easy to communicate with and followed our directions. We plan to use her in the future with our son’s dog.”

“Alexis is sweet and attentive with our kitty, extremely reliable and careful with our home, and communicative as usual. Thanks again, Kimberly!”

About: I’ve had countless pets growing up, as my mom regularly rescues street dogs. We care for them until they get placed in shelters. I’ve been taught to handle all types of dogs from super energetic to calm dogs. I'm currently a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. I'm always available on weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm, except Thursdays where I’m available anytime after 1pm. I’m very observant of dog’s behavior and try to match their energy, while keeping their environment as stress free as possible. My number one priority is always your dogs safety and ensuring they are comfortable

About: I grew up raising puppies and have spent most of my life around big dogs. I also have experience with larger farm animals. I have 4 years of dog sitting experience since I became a working professional after college and 7 years of dog walking experience on various other apps. I have cared for and helped train puppies and have senior dog experience, including grooming, teeth brushing, nail clipping and more. I am looking to spend as much time outside with pets both for exercise and because I love animals. I am available weekdays and weekends, I work part time so will sometimes be away from the animal for 4 hours at a time. I am quick to learn about clients homes, very neat and always help my clients around the house. I think animals are most comfortable in their own environments so I like to stay with them rather than the other way around. If the pet parent has a yard, I make sure to play with the dog in the yard, otherwise I will take the dog on multiple walks through out the day!

About: Hi! My name is Stafani, and caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am — whether that’s people or animals. My love for dogs began in childhood when I got my first dog, whom I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for over the past 15 years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. This experience taught me how to work safely and confidently with each dog I encounter while leading with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. My passion for nurturing others, which I discovered by caring for animals, ultimately led me to pursue nursing, where I’m currently developing strong skills in observation, responsibility, and compassionate care. During my free-time, I’m excited to do something I genuinely love: caring for dogs and helping them feel safe, happy, healthy, and loved! I’m currently on summer break, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily accommodate you and your pets’ needs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and providing attentive, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible by following all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and comfortable.

About: My experienced started 7 years ago, as I started walking friends and my family friends dogs. I have also walked faster and slower dogs as well as even a blind dog before and have continued ever since. I’m a full time college student with classes from Mondays to Thursdays. I can do afternoons on Tue/Thu, Wednesdays, and weekends whenever works. I can definitely make accommodations. I have a fenced backyard and I always keep an eye out on pets to make sure they are safe, happy, secure, all at the same time.

About: I've cared for and been around dogs my whole life. I'm a go to sitter for friends and coworkers. I have experience ranging from giant breed to small dogs. I'm available for boarding and dog walking on weekends. My weekly work schedule is too unpredictable for a dog of my own, so I'm looking forward to spending time with yours! I live in an apartment with wood floors and access to lots of green space in my surrounding area. As a general rule, I don't like taking dogs to parks as you never know how other dogs are socialized. Other than that, I'm happy to follow and rules and guidelines you set.

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 🐶
