“Michael and Tyler were divided a truly wonderful and happy stay for our little girl. They welcomed her and made her feel right at home, and she clearly had such a blast with them. It’s so reassuring to be able to leave her with people who are going to love her and care for her as you would yourself. We will have no hesitation in leaving our girl with them again in the future.”
“Wow! Couldn’t be happier with Sofiya’s care for Ted, I got daily/nightly updates with photos that allowed me to vacation with ease & she even gave him a bath before I picked him up! Thank You Sofiya, we will be calling you again soon! 🐾💜🐾”
“Joyce made our dog feel at home. She sent many photos and videos showing the many “pets” he was receiving from her and showing him happy on her bed or walking with his tail up. Joyce is a very good communicator, mature and a kind person. We felt very comfortable leaving Bingo in her care. We are happy we found such a good pet sitter and will use her again!”
“I can’t recommend Sarah enough as a dog sitter. My dog, Teddy, absolutely loves staying with her—he gets genuinely excited every time he realizes he’s going back, which says everything. What I appreciate most is how incredibly detailed and consistent her updates are. Every day, she sends multiple photos and videos—Teddy eating, playing, going on walks, and even updates on how he’s doing overall. She keeps me fully informed, down to small but important details, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. It gives me real peace of mind knowing exactly how his day is going. It’s also clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She takes Teddy on walks, to the dog park, and even on hikes, making sure he stays active and happy. On top of that, her home environment is wonderful—her two dogs and her cat are all very friendly, and Teddy gets along great with them. He’s not just being watched; he’s having a great time. Whenever Teddy stays with Sarah, I know he’s safe, well cared for, and genuinely happy. I fully trust her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Yunxi is great and took great care of my dog. Her house is in a very safe neighborhood with a park to walk my dog everyday. She ensured she took my dog out multiple times a day for walking and potty, and made sure he was well fed!”
“Katie and Jason were amazing hosts for Apollo! They were really sweet with him and very communicative, which was super helpful. I’m sure Apollo would love to stay with them again!”
“Svetlana was great! Our dog was loved and cared for, and I would not hesitate to leave her again in such good hands. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures of walks, play, and lounging at home. Svetlana was super responsive to all of my questions and was such a nice person to interact with. The overall experience was fantastic.”
“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“Li-Ting was such an amazing sitter for our dogs. She not only makes sure to send frequent updates and pictures, but also will spoil your dogs in the best way! Our boys got to try so many different toys and treats and a hike on the weekend to boot! I would absolutely leave our dogs in Li-Ting's care again and I'm sure they can't wait to go back!”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. Either way, you'll get regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“I cannot recommend Tillana enough! She recently took care of our dogs, and the level of service was absolutely outstanding. One of our dogs needed regular medication, and she handled it flawlessly, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We loved receiving her regular updates and photos—it really showed how much she genuinely cares about the animals in her custody. To top it all off, she even reached out a day after the dogs came home just to check in and see how they were settling back in. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Tillana, for treating our pups like family!”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“We left our Dog(Riley) with Karla twice now and she took great care of her!! She is awesome with her communication and was very responsive when we had any questions or needed any updates. Since Riley has some allergies, she took extra care and gollowed all our instructions for fo followed all given instructions with great detail. When your lil pup is with Karla you can be sure”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Gifu look after my Golden Retriever, Maya, while I was away on vacation and I would definitely recommend him to watch my pup again. He took the time to understand Maya’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences, ensuring that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. He provided updates, which reassured me that Maya was in great hands. Maya was happy and healthy when I returned so I recommend Gifu to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. He exceeded all my expectations and made my time away stress-free knowing that Maya was receiving the best care.”
“This is our second time boarding and Becks was very well taken care of again. He had a small wound and Kimmy was very good about keeping it bandaged and clean. I got a lot of pics, which was great! Fully recommend!”

“I wanted to say that Tillana is the best I would have ever asked for a petsitter. She is truly responsible and dedicated for pet care so I have been able to fully enjoy my travel without worrying about my cat.”
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was 10 around my neighbourhood and for friends and families! I also grew up with dogs in my family I am currently home for the summer from college, until August 31st, I have tons of flexibility! I am happy to help out in the mornings and evenings/overnight stays. I care for the pets by making sure they get their needs as requested. Including walks for dogs and making sure they feel as seen as possible. I also care for cats as well.
“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that with Shannon, your pets will be in great hands. She was absolutely wonderful with out kitties! Not only she carefully followed all our instructions, she truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable and happy. Throughout our time away, she was in regular contact with us providing thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties, and of course lots of photos. She was also flexible with her time, for example when one of our kitties required extra attention. It was a great relief to know that our kitties are well taken care of, so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Shannon and would not hesitate to hire her to look after our pets in the future.”
“Ulysses took care of my kitties for several days. When I got home they were calm and fed. I could tell that they had been well cared for. Everything looked great and he even took out the trash for pickup. I will use his services again.”
“Elise is very kind, caring, and gentle with Suriya and takes care of him with patience and understanding. Suriya enjoys Elise's company and is relaxed and happy with her care. Elise is very reliable, wonderful to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: With over 5 years of experience in cat care, I've gained a deep understanding of what makes our feline friends thrive. From proper nutrition and grooming to behavior insights and health monitoring, I've learned that each cat has its own unique needs. Providing a safe, stimulating environment and building trust through patience and affection are key. Whether it’s addressing specific health concerns, ensuring a balanced diet, or simply knowing how to recognize their moods and quirks, this experience has made me truly appreciate the complexity and beauty of caring for cats.
“Vanessa was great! She stayed at our house for three nights to take care of our cat. She was on-time, responsive, and sent us photos multiple times throughout the day. We'd definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and have always found myself preferring cats. I love their standoffish playful behavior and funny quirks. I’ve owned both friendly cats and more antisocial cats so I’m familiar with the wide range of cat behavior and can adjust accordingly.
“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”
About: Cats are some of my favorite companions because they each have their own little world. I take my time letting them warm up to me and I follow their lead completely. If they want cuddles, I am all in. If they want space, I honor that too. I am consistent with feeding, litter, routines, and I always make their environment feel calm and safe. I am gentle, intuitive, and very aware of energy, so cats usually relax around me pretty fast.
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”

“Tillana does a fantastic job taking care of my pup when I’m at work all day! She sends lots of updates with pictures. It helps me feel like I’m still part of my dog’s day. She has a great set-up for pups to run around and play - and to have down time too. Tillana is easy to work with and I will definitely be using her services again. I highly recommend her!”
“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”

“We had such a great experience with Yun! Finley came home happy and well cared for, and Yun kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I truly felt like Finley was in wonderful hands, and I would absolutely book with Yun again!”
“Even after more than a year apart, he remembered her and was comfortable with her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is the best pet sitter and the best pet photographer! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”

“If your pup loves other dogs and a romp in the redwoods, this is the place to be. On our second visit, Abby recognized Ulysses' house as we came up the road and couldn't wait to go inside to play. It's a relief to know my pup is safe and happy !”
“Great service from Michael! Potter had a good time with Chloe and some other pet friends! Michael took well take care of him today and took him for a walk. Michael made sure he had a good time and that he had some fun with his friends. I will definitely use his services again ☺️😉😁”
“My puppy loves visiting Dalia! When we pull up, she jumps out of the car and runs to the door with excitement. Dalia always makes sure my puppy gets a good walk and a nap in, and she comes home in a great mood.”
“Jennifer is very professional and responsive. Our dog really enjoyed staying at her home. They can play inside or out. She even brushed his fur out so he was super soft. I would leave him there again.”
“Ava was great with Oakley and extremely flexible with my ever changing schedule! Oakley seemed to really take to her right away! She sent me lots of pics :) and followed all instructions! Thank you Ava!”
“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lulu! She has great communication, is very flexible, and clearly truly cares about the dogs she watches. From the beginning, she took the time to ask detailed questions about Lulu’s routine so she could keep everything as consistent as possible while we were away. She sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious Lulu was happy and well cared for. What really appreciated was that even though Lulu is still in training, Allison continued the habits and routines we’ve been working on at home. There was no disruption when Lulu came back to us, no acting out or setbacks. We will absolutely be repeat clients and would recommend her without hesitation. If you want someone who will genuinely care for your pet like their own, Allison is your person!”

About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive
“Amber was awesome! She was super friendly and Ziggy took to her right away. I really appreciated that she kept track of his pee and poo breaks, which made me feel at ease. Even though it was wet out, she made sure Ziggy came back completely dry. I'd definitely recommend her if you're looking for a walker who genuinely cares about your pet.”

About: Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with different routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with a friend rather than just being watched. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup!

Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

About: Grew up with dogs of various breeds (many were rescue mixes). I am an attentive and responsible caregiver. I have experience with training puppies, grooming/ bathing, administering medicine, and caring for injured dogs on crate rest. Also have experience with anxious dogs. I study biology at the University of Michigan, hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Currently work part-time as a horse trainer and caretaker. I am currently only working a part-time job so I am available to care for your pet any day of the week. The afternoon (1-6pm), works best for me! I am willing to do whatever your pet needs while you are away, whether that be play-time with toys, a walk down the street, a bath, or cuddles! I am a huge animal-lover so know that I am probably having just as much fun as your pup! I am also willing to administer medicine/supplements and care for injured dogs.
About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life, with an occasional bird or rabbit. I love all animals. I am very particular about my own cat’s care, so I am willing and ready to give your pet that same respect. It’s hard to be away and worry about your pet, that’s why it matters who cares for them. I work 3 days a week, I can be flexible on availability the days I am off. It isn’t a set schedule, and varies from week to week. I value my cat as a member of the family. I look forward to being a small part of your pets day. Meeting new animals and getting to interact with them is always fun!
“Ulysses was very understanding and helpful when I was trying to figure out the app while teaching and trying to arrange a same day dog walk! Thank you, Ulysses! And most importantly he was great with my 2 big dogs! They both felt instantly comfortable with him, had a great walk and were happy and tired all day afterwards!”
“We have two dogs who can be a bit reactive when walked by leash. My wife and I were instructed by professional dog trainers on how to keep them calm and under control when they see another dog. John picked up the training methods quickly and had both of our guys exhibiting their best behavior. John is a natural, and our dogs adore him. We are extremely pleased with his calmness and attention. Five stars!”
“They were punctual, reliable, and provided personalized care, taking time to understand my dog's needs and routines. The regular updates and adorable photos were a nice touch, offering peace of mind. In short, if you want a dog walker who treats your pup like family,Keith is the way to go. I highly recommend their services.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I naturally connect with them. I grew up taking care of family pets, friends’ pets, and animals I watched while traveling. I understand how different each animal’s personality is, and I love tuning in to what they need, whether it is play, comfort, structure, or quiet time. I am gentle, patient, and very affectionate with animals who like closeness, but also respectful with shy or sensitive pets. People trust me because I treat their pets with real love and intention, the same way I care for my own space and relationships. My schedule is flexible, and pet care blends naturally into my day. I enjoy slow mornings, walks, and spending time outside, so having a pet with me just adds joy to my routine. I am available most days and weekends, and I make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule so they feel secure and loved while you are gone. I am very intentional about how I care for animals. I pay attention to details, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels safe and grounded at all times. I move gently, I stay calm, and I never rush an animal’s process. I treat pets like emotional beings with their own needs and personalities. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with love, patience, and respect, and your home will always be left clean and cared for.

“Wow! Couldn’t be happier with Sofiya’s care for Ted, I got daily/nightly updates with photos that allowed me to vacation with ease & she even gave him a bath before I picked him up! Thank You Sofiya, we will be calling you again soon! 🐾💜🐾”
“Katie and Jason were amazing hosts for Apollo! They were really sweet with him and very communicative, which was super helpful. I’m sure Apollo would love to stay with them again!”
“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. Either way, you'll get regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“I cannot recommend Tillana enough! She recently took care of our dogs, and the level of service was absolutely outstanding. One of our dogs needed regular medication, and she handled it flawlessly, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We loved receiving her regular updates and photos—it really showed how much she genuinely cares about the animals in her custody. To top it all off, she even reached out a day after the dogs came home just to check in and see how they were settling back in. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Tillana, for treating our pups like family!”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Gifu look after my Golden Retriever, Maya, while I was away on vacation and I would definitely recommend him to watch my pup again. He took the time to understand Maya’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences, ensuring that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. He provided updates, which reassured me that Maya was in great hands. Maya was happy and healthy when I returned so I recommend Gifu to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. He exceeded all my expectations and made my time away stress-free knowing that Maya was receiving the best care.”
“This is our second time boarding and Becks was very well taken care of again. He had a small wound and Kimmy was very good about keeping it bandaged and clean. I got a lot of pics, which was great! Fully recommend!”
“Nina and Leo did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. This was our first time using Rover and boarding our rescue, who is sensitive, anxious, and can be reactive towards other dogs during walks and meeting new people. They were great in providing daily updates on how our dog was doing, and the daily pictures eased our concerns during our trip. After the first update, we weren’t nervous anymore knowing that our dog was in the best care. They followed our care instructions well and we were happy to see our shy rescue quickly adapt to his temporary environment. Thank you Nina and Leo!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life (at one point we had 5 at time!) love taking them for long walks, teaching them new tricks like weave (and handstand!), and engaging their minds with agility. My senior dog recently passed and while I am not ready to get a new dog just yet, I miss having a dog so want to occasionally dog sit to help others out with their dogs before getting another dog of my own. I work full time but occasionally work from home. For this reason, Thursday to Sunday or Monday is best for me. I am active and love going on walks, hikes, and runs in and around the beautiful Portola Valley neighborhood. I love to hang on the couch and snuggle in the evenings! Dogs (non shedding) allowed on the bed :) My large backyard is fenced. My husband Dave and I often are asked by friends to help train their dogs because we love to help and are good at it! :)
“Diane was wonderful! She communicated clearly, responded to our messages very quickly, and sent us photos of Mikah every day, which gave us great peace of mind. When I picked Mikah up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. In fact, he seemed to want to stay a little longer, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with Diane. Thank you, Diane, for taking such great care of Mikah!”
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“Milo had another wonderful stay with Daniel and Emily! Daniel went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute changes and was incredibly quick to respond throughout. We truly appreciate their care and flexibility!”
“Margaret was an amazing host for our pup. She was flexible with timing when our flight was delayed, and sent a picture/video and message daily to let us know how Emmy was doing. She went above and beyond to take care of Emmy, and we will absolutely be contacting Margaret again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Pouneh is a wonderful dog sitter. You can tell she truly loves her job and the pups she cares for. She was an excellent communicator with us as well. We are grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
