We felt at ease while traveling that our pup was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Rachel to take care of your dog. Thank you Rachel!”

Dawn watched our older dog, Lewis, while we were out of town and brought him into her pack for amazing hikes outdoors and loving cuddles indoors. She provided frequent updates and ample photos which put us at ease as we knew Lewis was in great hands. Lewis came back to us well fed, well exercised, and well loved. We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for him. Thank you Dawn!!!”

She didn’t have to help us out but she chose to step in and look after Zoe when we only gave her two days advance notice! We will be sure to reach out to her the next time we are out of town!”

“Pouneh is wonderful! From the beginning, she responded to my messages right away. We did an initial meet and greet at the local park. Nana immediately took to her and her daughters! I knew Nana would be happy and in good hands. Drop off and pick ups: I need to do an early drop off and it’s been super smooth. It’s easy to park in front and get Nana out safely and since we arranged that I send my ETA, Pouneh was already waiting outside ready to take her. Picking her up was also super easy. I texted ETA and she had everything ready with Nana. Again, parking was easy and available in front. Pouneh is very experienced and patient with dogs. She also has extra supplies like bowls, blankets, towels, leashes, etc., making it easier with less things to lug around. Nana looked so relaxed and happy when I picked her up that first day and each day since. I am happy to recommend Pouneh to anyone for doggie care and I will for sure rebook whenever I need an extra hand. Lastly, props to Rover as well. This is a great service and I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve always found great people here with sometimes short notice.”

“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”

About: I am a compassionate and reliable dog walker with years of experience caring for and advocating for dogs through rescue work and pet ownership. At present I am volunteering with Doggie Protective Services in Palo Alto. Having shared my life with dogs for more than 30 years, I understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and eye drops, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. After recently relocating to Menlo Park from San Diego, I am excited to get to know the local community—both the humans and the dogs! While I am unable to offer boarding at this time, I would love the opportunity to provide your pup with an enjoyable walk, a fun play session, or a caring visit filled with attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I’m new to the Menlo Park/Palo Alto area and would love the opportunity to meet and care for your dog! As the owner of a part-time in-home charcuterie business, I enjoy a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some companionship while you're away, or a little extra exercise and attention, I’m happy to help. And don't worry—I can always fit your dog in between slicing cheese! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe every dog is unique, and I’m happy to tailor each visit to whatever makes your pet most comfortable and excited. Whether that means a leisurely neighborhood walk on leash, a trip to the dog park, a game of fetch in your backyard, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Every visit is filled with plenty of affection, belly rubs, cuddles, and love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Miranda was wonderful she came over the day before to meet with our pup bc he can be skiddish around new people. I would recommend her to anyone needing walks in the area.”
“Walks with Kate were the highlights of my dog's day and she always got excited when she knew she was about to see her. Kate was very professional and attentive to my dog's needs, and did an amazing job walking and playing with my 95lbs dog. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a respectful dog walker or a new best friend for their pup!”
“Josh was great with my dog. Firm but not aggressive or hostile with my spirited Samoyed. Griffin loved going with Josh on his walks with Josh 's great dane and little terrier. It was a small, medium and large trio lol. Josh was punctual, reliable and gave the full hour. Would recommend 🙂”
“Cordigen has been wonderful at providing weekly visits for our puppy, Sammy, and our 8 year old dog, June. I can tell from the photos she sends that they have a great time with her on their 3x/week visits and really appreciate all the care she shows for them. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is calm and wonderful with Jax. He was re-homed in August and this was his first walk with a dog walker. He was a little anxious, but Danielle knew just how to comfort him. He seemed to miss her when she left, watching out the window after her for awhile after she left.”
“Mario was outstanding! His communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond to help me out with walking my dogs on a stressful day of moving. I highly recommend him.”
“Ringo, our big and strong dog seemed happy and worn out after the walk. CJ did a good job figuring out how to put on and take off Ringo’s prong collar. It’s a little tricky because it has to link up to his cloth collar as well.”
“Sara was available at the very last minute during the holidays when my mother was unable to walk our dog. She was extremely reliable and showed up every day for 10 days, with excellent communication. Our dog was happy!”
“I highly recommend Ian! I was in a bind with my dog named Havoc and I needed a person to help care for him and walk him during the day. I reached out to Ian and immediately felt at ease! Ian has walked my dog several times for me and is always quick to communicate! I highly highly recommend Ian and will be booking walks in the future!”

You can tell that Mariano really loves dogs and he knows how to make sure they are well taken care of. I would not hesitate to board with Mariano again! Recommended!”
“Monica and Gary were basically everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. They are both definitely dog people, and between the two, have a significant amount of experience with all types of dogs. They themselves own two dogs that, from my experience, get along with every other dog and make the perfect play companions throughout the day. In short; I will definitely be using them again in the future and bringing Dante over for future play dates!”
“I can't say enough about how Jesse & Kimmy rose to the occasion for our family. We contacted them for the first time, and they responded immediately with "we'd love to help you out." That was definitely an indication of how communicative and positive they are. They brought our 3-yr old dog into their home with open arms, and not only made him feel right at home, they provided updates constantly. So much so, I felt like I was in tune to how he was doing the entire time we were gone. We were very grateful for their loving & attentive services. They are a dog's dream - trust them - we did and we didn't regret it!”

About: Hi! I work from home and have flexibility to watch another dog from time to time. My pup is a golden retriever adopted last year, she is very friendly and knows how to give older dogs their space and has been exposed to younger puppies which she also does well with. I have a perfect backyard for fetching, sniffing and sunny 😎 naps. Doggies of all sizes and ages are welcome. I have lot of toys, pet beds, grassy areas in my home. I also have a large pet friendly car, ready to help with drop off and pick ups if needed. I have flexibility to watch your pup during weekdays and weekends. I have our dog to care for so it's easy to add another 1-3 to the mix :) I have a large fenced in yard, also live within walking distance to nearby off leash dog friendly parks and natural areas. I have many pet beds and can also provide a crate if needed.
“First time Rover user and I liked Natasha’s profile. I left him for a couple of hours and Buddie seemed to really enjoy himself with his new friends. Natasha sent me some pictures and my pup was happy! Thank you Natasha and looking forward to our next visit!”
“Andrew was AMAZING!! If you are hunting for someone to care for your animal while you are away he will treat your pets like one of his own. He sent lots of pictures and videos, took her on lots of walks, and she loved playing with his pup. I know leaving your fur babies with strangers is so hard but he is an amazing sitter and one we will forever use as long as he keeps sitting. Trust me he is a great choice.”
“Fang is an amazing sitter! She is very communicative and sends photos, videos and updates throughout the day and night. She did an amazing job watching Four. It’s always hard to leave your fur baby, but I can tell that Four had a great time and enjoyed all the love and attention.”
