Dog Walking Stanford Estates

About: Lifelong animal lover dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or extra companionship while you're away, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I pride myself on communication, punctuality, and creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently in school, taking online classes. My days are flexible, except for Saturday mornings. I am a morning person and have no problem stopping early but can also stop by just before bed time. I have a fenced in yard, 2 older dogs. I am able to keep them separate if needed and have plenty of space for kennels. My dogs are on a 2 walk a day schedule and eating once a day.

“Ashley has been a lifesaver for our sweet baby! She is quick to respond, organized and very thorough with her visit recaps! She gives our son the attention he deserves <3”

“I had a fantastic experience with Brooke through Rover. She was incredibly responsive and even accommodated a same-day booking, which was a huge help. She bonded quickly with my dogs and made us feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and clear communication stood out from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”

“Steve is one of the few people that can get my stubborn dog to walk further than just down the street. He has been very professional and detailed since I’ve been using his services. I would highly recommend using Steve if you’re looking for someone to look after your pet.”

About: I have experience with nearly every pet - from small animals to horses, and everything in between! I have researched for countless hours, bettering my knowledge to care for my furry (or not!) friends in the best way possible. I make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am very flexible and understanding, so I look forward to your pet being a part of my day! We all know what is best for our pets, so I will gladly follow all directions and care plans specific to your pet. I will update you as little or as often as you’d like. I will match the energy of your pet, so we will always have fun 🤩

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.

About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.

“Catherine is great! Thank you for taking care of on my pup and for being flexible.”

About: As a dedicated dog owner to three wonderful pups, I understand that pets are family. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My dogs are fed healthy, high-quality food, enjoy nutritious treats, receive plenty of exercise and affection, and are groomed by me with care. When your dog is with me, you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll be loved, well cared for, and treated like one of the family. I work full-time remotely as a tax auditor, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and love. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine with my own three dogs, so welcoming your pet into my home feels natural. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise, as well as several dog gates throughout my home to safely separate pets when needed for feeding, rest, or introductions. My three friendly, well-socialized dogs love having visitors, but I always take the time to ensure every pet feels comfortable at their own pace. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a safe, caring environment.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️

About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember - I owned my own dog for 18 years, from puppyhood all the way through his senior years, so I've been through every stage a dog goes through. For the past several years, I've also been fostering dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy young puppies to older dogs who just need a calm, steady place to land. What sets me apart is patience and consistency. Puppies especially need someone who won't give up on training - I'm big on positive reinforcement, sticking to a routine, and staying calm and consistent even when a pup is testing boundaries or having a rough day. That same patience carries over to senior dogs, who often need a gentler pace, extra attention to mobility or health needs, and someone who won't rush them. Because I've fostered such a wide range of dogs - nervous rescues, high-energy young dogs, dogs with no training at all, and dogs adjusting to a new home - I've learned to read individual personalities quickly and adjust my approach to what each dog actually needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all method. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day rather than dropping a dog off and disappearing for hours. That means regular bathroom breaks, playtime, and check-ins built right into my normal day - not squeezed in around a commute or an office schedule. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard, so dogs get plenty of room to run, sniff around, and burn off energy safely without needing to be on a leash the whole time. Between the flexibility of working from home and the space in the yard, dogs in my care get a lot more attention and activity than they would with a typical 9-to-5 sitter. Safety comes first, whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or theirs. In my own home, I have a large, fully fenced backyard, so dogs can play and explore off-leash in a secure space without any risk of getting loose. I keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard - toxic plants, small objects, unsecured trash - and make sure the environment is calm and comfortable, especially for dogs who might be nervous in a new place. Since I work from home, dogs aren't left alone for long stretches. I'm able to supervise closely, especially during the first few visits with a new dog, so I can get a feel for their personality, energy level, and any quirks before giving them more freedom in the house or yard. For dogs with training needs or those who are still adjusting, I stick to a consistent routine - regular feeding times, scheduled bathroom breaks, and structured playtime - since predictability helps dogs feel safe. I'm also comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, keeping introductions slow and positive so everyone feels comfortable. If I'm caring for a pet in the client's home, I follow the same principles - sticking closely to their normal routine, respecting the house rules the owner has in place, and keeping a close eye on the pet's behavior and comfort level throughout the visit.

About: I make real friends with pets, (complimentary pictures included!) I’m reliable, respectful, and always on time, so you never have to worry about the details. Every pet in my care gets treated like my own; spoiled, cared for, and given my full attention. I also love meeting new people, so I enjoy building relationships all around! I’m a hard worker with a schedule shaped by two things I’m passionate about: I work at a recording studio and at a climbing gym! Both keep me active, focused, and used to fulfilling different people’s needs throughout the day. No matter how busy my week gets, I consistently try and make time to meet new pets and give them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in your home, I keep things simple and stick to their normal routines, feeding schedules, and walks so nothing feels out of place. I take time to bond with your pet first, follow any special instructions you leave, and send updates and photos along the way! I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.

About: I’ve owned dogs growing up and cats most of adulthood. I have both fostered & boarded dogs and cats on and off for 15 years. Both my cats have been raised around dogs & cats coming over to visit, so as long as the animals coming to stay are cat friendly, mine will be fine with the company. I’ve been entrusted to pet sit sick animals in need of regular medication without any problems. I’ve bathed both cats and dogs, so if needed, I can give your fur baby a bath too! I just started back to school, so I’m unavailable Monday-Thursday 6am-3:30pm. Outside of these hours, I am happy to take care of your fur babies as needed, whenever needed!😊 I have a nice home with a fenced in yard to allow pups to run and play. I do my best to give tons of love and play with all in my care. If you’re working on some training, I would be happy to help continue with this.

About: I’ve helped family members take care of dogs by walking and bathing when needed. I’ve always loved being around dogs all my life as I grew up around them and worked in pet stores since 2022. I am currently working full time but the earliest i can stop by is 8 am and the latest being 9:30 at night if needed. I am comfortable with working with any restrictions required by owner, even if it means crating the animal, or any dieting the animal may have. I am also CPR certified through the American Red Cross, i can also provide proof of certification.

About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays. I have trained all of my furry friends and even helped my Boston Terrier Mix have puppies. I have also cared for elderly pets and so I understand what it takes to give them the love and treatment they need in their more frail years. I currently have very flexible hours and can take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. I had a career in Nursing, but I am currently not practicing so I am free to help you out with your needs. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have always had pets in my home, but take great pride in my home being well cared for and clean. I would ensure your home would be taken care of in the same way while looking after your pets. Whether it is my home or yours, or taking your pets for a walk, I will be respectful and ensure your pet and your home is well looked after.

“Ali was wonderful. She asked whether I wanted to do a meet and greet with the pups ahead of time, since I was going to be away for most of the time she was walking them. She also kindly helped clean one of my pups up when he had some digestive issues. She was kind, reliable and my pups were better off with her caring for them while I was away.”

About: I have lived/taken care of animals my whole life. Have taken care of dogs,cats,bunnies,lizards. I have two dogs at home that I care for and have trained. I work at a coffee shop in the morning/afternoons during the week but after noon my days are pretty open and am usually available anytime after that. I have a fenced in backyard and take my dogs on a walk 1-2 times a day. I follow whatever instructions are given and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When taking care of dogs will make sure to take them out every couple hrs.

About: I have more dog pictures on my phone than I do selfies. I spend my free time exercising with my own dog, Lylah and hiking in the area. Being the daughter of a veterinarian, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I feel I can learn as much from them as they can from me! Working over a year for an official pet sitting/dog walking service has taught me excellent customer service and professionalism. I’m used to dealing with breeds of all kinds and am not intimidated by animals with aggression or anxiety. I am very patient and understanding, especially if the pet is in poor health or was subject to abuse in a previous household. I am quick to fix behavioral problems and may even be able to help you become more comfortable with your pet! I have several routine visits on my calendar for the next 6 months. However, I am usually able to work in new clients if the times of the visit are flexible. I guarantee your pet the attention it deserves when you (the best friend) isn’t available! I am accustomed to feeding, walking, medication times, command practice, bowel and bladder programs or any sort of organized scheduling for your pet's puppy training. I understand different people have different methods and am happy to learn
