About: I’ve been lucky enough to raise and care for three wonderful dogs, from tiny two-month-old pups to wise, gentle seniors — so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and energy level, and I adapt my care to suit what makes them happiest. On walks, I keep a close eye on what they sniff or try to eat, as well as how they interact with other pets we meet along the way — making sure every encounter is safe and friendly. I can also do basic training like “sit,” “paw,” and “roll,” using high-quality freeze-dried liver treats (with your permission, of course!). When we return from our walk, I’m happy to give them a gentle clean-up — wiping their eyes, paws, and rear with premium Earth Rated pet wipes — so they come home fresh and comfortable. I walk my own dog at least twice a day, so spending time with animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m an active person, averaging over 10,000 steps a day, and since I live in downtown Palo Alto, walking is also my main form of getting around. At my client’s home, I will feed the pets, play with them, and keep an eye out for anything unusual, letting the owners know right away if I notice something of concern. I’m also happy to handle basic pet-related clean-up when needed. Having raised three dogs myself, I’ve become skilled at giving relaxing dog massages — and if your pet enjoys gentle human touch, I’d be delighted to treat them to a soothing massage.
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a baby! I enjoy connecting with animals and have dog sat for many friends and family members over the last 6 years. I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog! I work from home, so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks to get some fresh air and exercise (for both of us). I will be very respectful of your home and make sure your dog is well attended to while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to specify anything they might need to feel extra safe and cared for.
“Cameron was very responsive and comfortable with handling my 65 pound dog. My dog also warmed up to him much quicker than he would with the average stranger/sitter. Thank you Cameron for a wonderful session.”
About: I’ve had all different kinds of pets ranging from turtles, bunnies, chickens, and dogs since I was 5 years old. My last dog was a small dog and I’ve sat big dogs in the past. I’m currently on summer break from my university and don’t have a part time or full time job so I’ll have lots of time to take care of any pups! My house is fenced, and I have a little goldfish pond I’m creating netting over top of. My chickens are in a contained area without outside access and I currently don’t have any other pets inside of my home, so the dog could be crated or left to roam around depending on whatever is preferred.
About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!
“Will was great looking after our cat when we were out of town. He was communicative and always sent photos. He did a video call a few days before and followed all our requests regarding letting out cat out in the morning and keeping him in at night. We will definitely hire him again!”
“Donna was absolutely amazing. Her and Bruno got along so well and she did everything that I asked for him. She took him to parks and played with him for the whole duration of the check in and left him so happy and tired when she left. Definitely would trust her with Bruno again, and with any other dogs or cats out there in this world!”

Whether it’s a quick walk or a drop-in visit, I make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy. I’m an early riser and love being outdoors, so daily dog walks and visits naturally fit into my routine. I stay active and love having four-legged company on my morning and afternoon walks. Taking care of pets gives structure and joy to my day. When visiting a client’s home, I make sure your pet feels safe and seen. I follow your pet’s usual routine closely—feeding, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of play or snuggles. For walks, I stick to your preferred routes and pace, always keeping safety and comfort first. I also make sure to clean up any messes and send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve had two dogs at home for most of my life and loved each second of being a dog mom! At Stanford I am on the rugby team and love being outside playing with the team dog. In my free time I enjoy going to east bay spca and SF SPCA to walk the dogs and share my love with the doggies who have been there a bit longer. I have trained both of my dogs in my home state to do off leash walks, protective watch and the classic tricks like shake and roll over . I am home most afternoons and will spend the evening after the sun has cooled off playing with your furbaby and making sure they get their steps in! This looks like 2-3 hours of play time and 3-4 walks in the after noon. Campus is such a dog friendly neighborhood and multiple private fenced areas. Having two off leash dogs back home I and very attentive in our walks and take time to learn your dogs play style so we are both having fun! I also have training with crate time and reactive dogs (all fur babies deserve love).

Shilu W.
“Jess has grown up with dogs her whole life and has a natural love for caring for them. Whether it's taking them on walks, joining her for outdoor activities, or even bringing them along to meet friends, Jess ensures every dog feels happy and comfortable around her. Her calm and joyful energy makes dogs feel at ease, and her experience shows in the way she attentively looks after them. Currently, Jess is working away from home and misses being around dogs. Pet sitting would be a wonderful opportunity for her to share her kindness and passion with other furry friends—I have no doubt that any dog under her care would be safe, loved, and truly happy!”
