Dog Boarding in West Menlo Park, CA

“Min Jin and Mi Ran were so wonderful to work with and watch Theo. They were incredibly responsive, gave multiple updates with lots of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and were more than willing to spend time to make sure he would eat (as it always takes him a bit to settle into a new routine). They did an absolutely amazing job watching Theo and I would highly recommend them!”

“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”

“Benedict & Christina were really wonderful to have watch my little senior dog. When Benedict did the meet & greet, he was inquisitive about how to best care for Jean Luc, his routine & habits, etc. They sent great photos and updates, and were always quick to respond. Highly recommend & look forward to my next booking with them!”

“Donna was a great host for Moppet. My dog was welcomed immediately upon entering Donna's home. Donna was also flexible with my pickup time as I had a flight delay due to weather. I would absolutely rebook with Donna next time.”

“India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”

“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”

“Jifu did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! He was attentive and caring, and his dog Joki was very friendly, making the experience even better. I loved receiving videos and pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. I definitely recommend him!”

About: **Experienced Dog Lover & Safe Haven for Your Furry Family** Dogs have been central to my life - I’ve cared for 6 beloved companions over the years, mostly rescues from shelters and the streets, plus one cherished family poodle. My experience spans various breeds including two pit bulls, a border collie, a Romanian raven (street dog), and currently Apollo, our one-year-old smooth collie who’s wonderful with other dogs and actively training. **Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort Come First** Our home features a fully fenced, secure yard designed to keep dogs safe - no escape routes here! Your pup will have doggy door access so they can move freely between house and yard. We maintain an active lifestyle with daily multi-mile walks, regular dog park visits, beach trips, and hiking adventures, but we’re happy to adjust our routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. **Personalized Care & Attention** I limit my care to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives the individual attention they deserve. Having raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including working with rescues who needed extra patience and care, I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pet needs gentle encouragement, structured exercise, or just lots of love and attention, they’ll receive personalized care in our home. Your dog won’t just be watched - they’ll be genuinely cared for as part of our family. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine - it IS my routine. My days naturally revolve around my dogs’ needs and well-being. I start each morning with walks and feeding, and throughout the day I’m actively engaged with them whether we’re training, playing in the yard, or just spending quality time together. Evenings often include longer walks or trips to the dog park. Having cared for dogs for years, this rhythm feels completely natural to me. When I’m caring for client dogs, they simply join this established routine that already prioritizes canine happiness and health. As a homemaker, I’m available throughout the day to monitor, interact with, and respond to any needs that arise. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my life - it’s woven into the fabric of how I live. **In My Home:** Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully-fenced yard with doggy door access for indoor/outdoor freedom. I limit care to a maximum of 2 dogs to ensure individual attention and maintain a safe, escape-proof environment. Daily care includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise tailored to your dog’s needs, and plenty of companionship. We’ll follow your pet’s routine while incorporating our active lifestyle of walks, dog parks, and outdoor adventures. Your dog sleeps indoors with access to comfortable spaces throughout the house. I provide regular updates with photos so you know how your pup is doing. Any specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs are carefully followed. My experience with 6 dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, has taught me to read canine body language and respond to different temperaments. **Safety is paramount** - secure fencing, dog-proofed spaces, and constant supervision ensure your pet’s well-being. Your dog will receive experienced, loving care in a safe environment designed with their comfort and security in mind.

“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.”

“Chris was so incredibly kind to both me and my dog Sadie. She had the best week with him. He took her on long walks, cuddled with her and made sure she got all her love and exercise. He sent me beautiful photos twice a day and let me know how she slept and how she ate and made sure to respond right away when I messaged. He really was the best host. Both Sadie and I felt lucky!”

“Our dog Maya has been to Liliane's place for daycare many times, and this was our first time boarding. It was great! While we were away, Maya had a vacation of her own, enjoying long walks, lounging by the pool, and getting to play with so many toys! As always, Liliane sent many pictures throughout the day and was responsive to any questions or comments we had. Whenever Maya realizes she's going to Liliane's, she starts pulling on the leash to get to the house faster and wagging her tail super excitedly. We're so happy to have found Liliane.”

Lyudmila S.

“Ahmyah was excellent! She walked Ernie five times a day and showered him with attention. She kept in good communication with me throughout her time with Ernie, sending me pictures and updates on how he was doing! I would definitely recommend Ahmyah as a sitter for your pet and will be coming back to her with Ernie in the future!”

“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!”

About: My parents got a King Charles Cavalier puppy right before I was born, so I grew up with her almost like she was my sister. I would assist in taking care of her including walking, bathing, and playing with her. She has sadly since passed away, but in 2022 we welcomed a new puppy, Nalani, who is also a King Charles breed. As some may know, King Charles Cavaliers can be quite sensitive. Nalani needs a very special diet, or else she refuses to eat, and can only have specific ingredients because most upset her stomach. She’s also very shy around new people, but once she feels comfortable, she’s incredibly sweet and affectionate. Because she’s so nervous, my parents trust only me to groom her — including bathing and scrubbing her, trimming her nails, brushing out knots, shaving her paws, and trimming her ears. Caring for Nalani has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and kindness. Providing animals with the right attention makes all the difference in helping them feel safe and loved. I’m currently attending Santa Clara University but have summer off until mid-September. I just finished a part-time job as a summer camp counselor and am now looking for another position. Aside from that, I’m available most of the time. I have a spacious and grassy fenced yard, perfect for dogs of any size to run around. I can also provide a crate if your dog needs one. Since I already have a dog, I’m well-equipped with extra supplies like waste bags, leashes, and treats (with your permission), so your dog will have everything needed for a safe and fun visit.
