About: Our family has loved dogs for years, and we're excited to share our home with yours! Our kids have spent the past year as trusted dog walkers for several neighbors on our street, building a reputation for being dependable, attentive, and great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Our home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Palo Alto with a large fully fenced backyard and a spacious front yard, perfect for safe off-leash play, fetch, and lounging in the sun. With two active, dog-loving kids in the house, your pet will never be short on attention, belly rubs, or walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Whether your dog needs gentle company, lots of playtime, or a few long strolls a day, we'll treat them like one of our own. We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures. We follow your dog's feeding schedule and routine closely, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive.

We recommend Crystal highly!”

I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”

About: Ive taken care of cats since before i could remember Ive always had a cats in my house.

Id love to get to know and help you watch your cat.

“Darling young sitters who took great care of our Sandy. She was very comfortable with them and they sent quite a few pictures to put our minds at ease. It was super convenient since we had an appointment at Stanford Medical Center and they live right on Stanford campus.”
About: I love taking care of dogs! I've grown up with dogs my whole life (1 Maltipoo, 2 Shih-Tzus, 1 Aussie Doodle, and 1 Poodle), each of which has had a distinct personality. I also have experience dog-sitting for larger dogs in the area, including Golden Retrievers and Black Labs. My family's current pets are quite needy, so I am used to frequent walking and particular routines. However, I'm also happy with a more relaxed dog. Over the summer, I will be working about 5 hrs/week in person and 10 hrs/week remotely. I am very flexible for dog walking, including in the morning and the evening. I live in a 2BR/2BA apartment building on Stanford campus. The building is very new. It is surrounded by several fields and playgrounds, so there is plenty of space for dogs to be walked. I have no personal pets.
“Bilbo had a great time at doggy day care with Edward and Elisha! They have a large backyard for the dogs to play and hang out. Bilbo got along well with their dogs Rusty and Ruby. They sent many photos so I know that Bilbo was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely bring Bilbo back. Highly recommend Edward and Elisha!”
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Angela and Kangwoong are real dog lovers. Xico came back home very alert and excited. It is wonderful to have a family with kids share their precious time with Xico.”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”
“This was my first time using Rover and finding someone to take care of my fur baby after a couple places (not from Rover) where we had very scary incidences. I had hesitation to take him anywhere. Manli helped me feel comfortable by being very responsive, listening to his restrictions and sending me pictures throughout the day. I feel more comfortable leaving him with her during our trip. Thank you!”
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
“Courtney took such great care of Otto! She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for me! He came come squeaky clean, happy, and tired.”
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.
“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.”
About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
“Jessica was fantastic with Ollie! She took great care of him even though he wasn’t feeling well and had intricate care instructions. She is very punctual and communicative. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had 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: Our family has had a black lab/boxer for over 8 years, and I grew up with dogs in the household. I am active and we love to take our pup on walks, to the park, and play around the family. Would love to extend my care to your dog, as a home away from home or puppy playdate treat. I'm currently a stay at home mom and freelance artist, so available for flexible doggy day care and overnight boarding. Please reach out for initial meet and greet or to schedule. We have a fenced in yard, active middle aged dog who gets along great with all size pups, and a loving home with 3 girls who also love animals.
“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Excellent communication and attention to the weather to avoid overheating Ceara's paws. Ceara was calm, happy and well exercised when we returned. G. was pleasant and professional.”
“Courtney has been great with my dog. She consistently walks her weekly and sends wonderful pics of her. I appreciate the consistency and how trustworthy she is with my dog.”
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.

I provide a highly structured and attentive environment where a pet’s routine is the priority. Will follow your pets routine precisely; maintaining strict feeding, exercise, and medication schedules.

About: Our family has loved dogs for years, and we're excited to share our home with yours! Our kids have spent the past year as trusted dog walkers for several neighbors on our street, building a reputation for being dependable, attentive, and great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Our home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Palo Alto with a large fully fenced backyard and a spacious front yard, perfect for safe off-leash play, fetch, and lounging in the sun. With two active, dog-loving kids in the house, your pet will never be short on attention, belly rubs, or walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Whether your dog needs gentle company, lots of playtime, or a few long strolls a day, we'll treat them like one of our own. We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures. We follow your dog's feeding schedule and routine closely, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“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!”
“We couldn't have been more pleased with the care Jifu provided for our dog. He was responsive, professional, and, most importantly, handled our very energetic pup with care. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Jifu and his dog, Joki!”
“Very attentive and thorough! Took my dog for long walks, made sure she was well-fed, and paid close attention when she was around another dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Meerim was an incredible dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, and communicated how things were going so I didn't worry at all. So grateful that we found her! Will 100% book again xx”
“A was so kind to our pup, Napa. We appreciate her flexibility, knowledge, and fun personality. Napa looked forward to seeing her. She's conveniently located near Stanford, so she's a great fit for anyone visiting the hospital. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Wow! We felt so secure having Daniel dog-sit for us. He sent us regular updates with photos and took her on really nice long walks. Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”
“Michael is wonderful to work with - he's reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. He took great care of my sweet Aussie, Alastor, while I was on vacation for a week. The whole process was smooth and I could tell that Alastor was relaxed during his stay from the cute pictures of him having a nice time! Thanks again!”
“Kenny cared for my dog for a week while I traveled. Kenny is excellent at keeping you updated all day with words and pictures!! He did everything I asked and happily adjusted halfway through the week when I asked that my dog get new medication twice a day. Kenny is very kind and caring, and if I didn’t know better I would think he didn’t have a family and job, but that he just spent every minute with my dog. She’s happy and I’m happy. 😊😊😊😊”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
About: With two years of experience caring for my own Shiba Inu and a history of dog-sitting for friends, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent pet care. I have hands-on experience with tasks like giving medicine, bathing, and brushing (for those dogs who are not against it) I'm available to care for your fur baby during the day on weekdays. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate daytime needs. I also take last minute booking. I have a private, fenced patio in my apartment that's a great space for your pet to enjoy some fresh air safely. During our walks, I'll send you updates with a detailed summary, so you'll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and what we did.

“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Tillana is always amazing — we use her every time we go out of town. She’s super responsive/communicative and we know that Jeff has the BEST time when he’s with her.”
“Poppy had a great stay! Margaret was so patient and thoughtful getting Poppy settled and comfortable with her crew. Communication was just right to put my mind at ease and see that Poppy was having a great time.”
“Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!”
“once again, a fabulous stay for my pup Jessie. I am completely at ease about her well-being when she is with Jennifer. My only concern is that Jessie won't want to come home with me, as life is so good with Jennifer and her son.”
