“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 love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I had a yellow lab growing up and have rescued 3x dogs since. I will be in the area for a few years of grad school and would love to care for your dogs! Same day bookings accepted! I’m flexible on timing and only have a class schedule to contend with, so I am typically free most mornings and evenings. I am comfortable around all types of dogs. I can run with or extensively play with your high energy dog, if requested! For the more senior, sleepy, and smaller dogs, I give great pets!

About: Treat the puppies very gently and make friends with them. Please rest assured to entrust your family pets to me. I like animals very much. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care in the mornings and evenings. My daily routine is stable and organized, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for pets. I am currently continuing my studies, but I have plenty of availability to spend time with pets, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy creating a calm and comfortable experience for every pet I care for. I understand that your home is your pet’s safe place, and I will treat it with respect and care. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether they enjoy playtime, walks, or simply quiet companionship. I will keep food and water areas clean, maintain a tidy space, and provide photo updates so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide dependable, respectful care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

“Danielle helped me out. I was in a difficult situation and she came through for me. Very appreciative indeed! I will definitely use her services again…”

“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.”

“Guilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. We’re very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!”

About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.

“Caitlin was so great and helpful looking after our cats! She made sure they were well taken care of and had lots of play time. She also helped give our little cat her daily oral medication and made it easy to take our trip without worry. Definitely recommend Caitlin!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have years of professional pet care experience, including completing more than 400 dog walks, and I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also a yoga and Pilates instructor, so staying active is a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to take an energetic pup on a long, active walk, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for a senior dog or a pup who prefers to stop and sniff every few feet! Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is for them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I truly love animals and would be delighted to get to know yours! 🐾

“Cats seemed fine and happy upon our return. Emily was familiar with our water fountain and litter box system, so no problems there. We are happy with here visits.”

“Caroline has seen Manu a couple of times and she has been great! On time, professional, sends great updates and seems to be super playful with Manu, a 3 month old mischevious puppy!”

About: Hello, my name is Austin! I grew up on a farm in Ohio and have taken care of many pets over the years including my favorites- cats and dogs! I’m new to the Menlo Park area and would love to provide any help I can for you and your pet’s needs! I’m currently working from 5am-2pm. I am available most weekday afternoons/ evenings anytime after getting done at 2pm! This leaves me a good block of time to help out most any afternoons. My lease does not allow me to care for any pets at my home, but I am more than happy to take care of your pets and abide by any rules or requirements you have for me :)

“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’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

About: Besides working my morning job I love to take care pets. I used to pet care couple years and have helped my aunt with her 3 dogs that needed daily walks! I always took care of them as if they were my own! I also have experience with elderly dogs who needed more attention and needed to be given medication daily. I enjoy going outside long or short walks and it’s always great to have a walking partner! I have a one full time job, so this would be 8 hour shifts. I mostly work early in the morning. But besides that I would love to be your pets new playmate! I can adjust and make the free time around my working hours. So please don’t hesitate to reach out! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own! Meaning they will be given unconditional love lots of playtime and attention! With my own pet she is the queen of the house and I am there to take care of her the best I can! You won’t have to worry while they are with me!

“Silvana did a great job with our 2 cats! Came back to happy and well taken care of furbabies. Communication was prompt and smooth and we didn’t worry while we were gone. Thanks Silvana!”

About: I have two dogs at home, and I have always had pets in the house since I was born. My family and neighbors growing up relied on me to pet sit for them or walk my dogs with their dogs. I have taken care of my two dogs and cat when I had a cat since I was 13. I walked my first dog as a child too, so overall I have had about 11 years of experience taking care of pets. I am happy to bathe, walk, feed, play with, and hang out with pets of any kind, though I specialize in dogs and cats. I trained my dog Sidney with my parents, so I have experience in that as well. I love to be around animals of all kinds, and am so excited to meet your lovely pets! I am a student right now, so I am available during free periods that I have to drop by and take your pets out, but after 3:30PM everyday I have time to walk, feed, and bathe pets. I am free during the entire day on the weekends, and sometimes have days off. My summer availability will depend on my part-time job. I care for pets with a fun and lighthearted approach. I believe in the reward system because I think it's a good way for pets to feel good about themselves while still having fun. I make sure to look out for any preexisting problems with pets if that is an issue and to see them as individuals with their own personalities and needs. I have had animals with medical issues and I have adapted how I take care of them to fit their personal wants and needs in each moment. I am an empathetic person who can empathize with many different creatures, not just humans. Rest assured, I will be cautious and intentional with how I care for every pet I encounter.
