Dog Walking West Menlo Park

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 11+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, feeding, grooming, and training. I’ve also pet-sat and walked dogs for friends and neighbors, and I truly love spending time with animals. What sets me apart is that I combine genuine affection with responsible care. Through years of experience and working alongside trainers, I’ve learned how to create structured, positive walks while making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or endless belly rubs, I’ll treat them like family and give them the attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and love working around what works best for you and your dog! I’m available for dog walks most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to accommodate both regular and last-minute requests when possible. Just send me a message with the times you need, and I’ll do my best to make it work. Spending time with dogs is genuinely one of my favorite things to do, so I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend and help them get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve! When caring for a dog in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Having cared for my own dog for over 11 years, I understand how important routine, patience, and attention are to a dog’s happiness and well-being. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, affection, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, basic grooming, and reinforcing good leash manners, and I’m always committed to following any instructions provided by owners. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing, or relaxing together, I treat every dog with the same care and kindness that I gave my own. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

About: I grew up with dogs and hamsters as a kid, but my love for animals didn’t end there. I raised and trained two dogs from puppies to adult. I volunteered at the SPCA socializing cats. I adopted and raised cats from kitten to adult. I currently have a 15 yr old and two 2.5 yr old cats. I have helped dog sit and cat sit for friends over the years and fostered several litters of dogs and a few cats. I love animals and will ensure yours gets the attention, care and time they deserve. I’m currently a teacher on summer break . I’m traveling for some of June but around in July with low key plans around the area. I’d fit my plans around your fur baby’s needs. I will follow the needs you share of your pets and your expectations , and use my skillset to connect with your animals at the level they are comfortable with.

“Great!!! I highly recommend Arjun!”

“Mara was fantastic! She was able to take my request last minute and was super flexible. She had great communication and contacted me before the walk to ask for instructions and specific requests. Mara was on the spot punctual for the time she had to pick up my pups. My pups had a great walk with her and she took lots of pictures of them having a great time. Overall Mara was great and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have an energetic English Labrador and Sheltie at home that I walk, groom, feed and provide medications to on a daily basis. I would care for others’ pets as my own. I am comfortable with medication administration including oral and topical (skin, ears and eyes). I have experience with caring for puppies as well as senior and disabled dogs with sight, hearing and joint/mobility issues. I have worked on a farm caring for horses, pigs, goats and ponies. I’m very comfortable around animals of all types and familiar with taking care of their daily needs. I currently attend summer classes in college but have a flexible schedule. I enjoy staying active and interacting with animals. Taking care of animals could easily be blended into my daily routine. I am tidy, dependable, and dedicated to making sure your pet(s) feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Ability to follow specific instructions related to diet, medication administration and schedule, if applicable.

“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s furry friends since a very young age- including dogs of all types. From newborn puppies, to energetic young dogs, and elderly sick pups, I have a wide range of experience in the different care that’s needed. I also have experience as a vet assistant at pets in need, where I learned the importance of hygiene, attention to detail, and the bond between us and our furry friends. Lastly, I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was young! I have two dogs of my own, one of which has special needs, so I truly understand the importance in finding someone trustworthy and capable. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I’m recently unemployed due to my chronic illness, and am a full time college student. So im open to work everyday! Some days in the mornings, and some days on afternoons. I’m looking forward making money in something that I love and that is flexible. I have a fenced yard outside for playtime, as well as a gate inside my house to keep my dogs secure and safe. I have lots of toys and space in my house!

“It was super easy to work with Mia! We did a meet & greet beforehand, and she was very flexible, communicative, and friendly! I’ll definitely book with her again.”

“Yu Chen is such a great friend for our pet Shadow. We are so lucky that we found Yu Chen. While we were away, she took shadow out for a long walk everyday for more than we agreed. She left me notes everyday regarding her time with Shadow. It was such a relief to know that our dog is in good hands. She is truly a dog lover! Don’t hesitate to let her take care of your paws. I will always recommend Yu Chen. Hope to see Yu Chen again soon.”

About: My Pet Care Experience Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my life with a variety of pets, each teaching me something unique about responsibility, empathy, and companionship. Over the years, I’ve cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and turtles, and every one of them left a lasting impact on me. As a child, my hamsters taught me patience and attentiveness through their delicate care needs. Feeding them the right diet and cleaning their habitat were my first lessons in responsibility. With dogs and cats, I learned the importance of building trust and providing unconditional love. They showed me how meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Bunnies and turtles required different forms of care, from maintaining specific diets to creating environments that matched their natural habitats. These experiences taught me how to adapt and tailor my care to meet the needs of each pet. Even caring for fish required a level of diligence, as maintaining a clean tank and balanced water conditions was essential for their well-being. Now, as an adult, I deeply appreciate how much these experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to care for animals. Pets aren’t just companions; they’re beings that rely on us for their health, happiness, and safety. This realization drives my dedication to providing the best care possible for my current and future pets. Whether it’s ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, or just spending quality time with them, I believe that having pets is both a privilege and a commitment. Caring for animals has not only made me more responsible but has also brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I always make time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Currently, as a student on vacation, I have plenty of free time during the holidays to dedicate to their care, including playing with them, grooming, and keeping their spaces clean. During the semester, I usually have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide attention, exercise, and care for the pets. I enjoy creating a balance between my responsibilities and spending quality time with them, as I believe this is key to building a strong bond and keeping them content. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always prioritize building trust with the pet, creating a bond that ensures they feel safe and comfortable with me. The place where I live is fenced and quiet, making it a safe environment for pets. However, I understand that pets often feel more comfortable staying in their own home, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. For this reason, I am more than happy to care for them at their place if that’s preferred. Regardless of the location, I make sure to follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and ensure their needs are met with love and care.

About: I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life and got my very first puppy when I was 15. More recently, I brought home a French Bulldog, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, fun 1-year-old he is now! Having pets has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them I work from home so I am usually pretty available! I do have a lot of virtual calls so I cannot usually do last minute walks but can plan around my day! I am completely free after 3:30 PM everyday. I have a French bulldog who loves to play and spends a lot of his time cuddled up with us. We also have a huge patio that is fenced in and a dog area to let them roam around and play.

“Tillana P. is great with dogs, and was able to make friends right away with my senior dog, who can be a little anxious around strangers at first.”

“Rachel is wonderful with Bodhi - attentive to his needs, and giving him good big walks even in short periods of time. Rachel is responsive and helpful with Bodhi - retrieving him quietly if our baby is sleeping, and ensuring he had lots of water when he returns! Thanks, Rachel!”

About: I have been cat and dog sitting since I was 16! I have experience walking and pet sitting for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s animals. I also grew up with dogs so I am very comfortable with all ages and sizes of animals! I have experience volunteering at the Wisconsin Humane Society from college so I have formal dog walking training! I just finished a contract working at Stanford and have some extra time in my day now. I am big on taking my daily walks outside and any pet can join me! Other than exercising I spend most of my day doing work and reading being a couch potato. I always try to work with the pets routine and stay flexible. I am big on making the pets comfortable (usually with treats and floor time) around me. I like to spend time with pets in their home before taking them on walks or letting them out. I can follow any rules set and any training that needs to be enforced as well.

“We just started with Gloria and she has been great with our large golden doodle which is no easy task. Very professional, shows up on time, delivers timely feedback and progress reports. Would highly recommend Gloria.”

About: I’m a current Stanford student missing my best friend back home! So I have lots of extra love to give. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs (my sweet girl is 12 years old!). I personally understand how important it is to find a sitter/walker you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra company and care, I’ll treat them like my own. I also have experience with senior dogs and working with reactive dogs on leash. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m currently training for a half marathon and would love a running buddy! I'm available all-day from Saturday to Monday for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting. I can also do walks/check-ins after 3pm on Tuesday, Thursday mornings/afternoons, and after 5pm on Fridays. I understand how important walk and play-time is for dogs, so I'll provide the most enriching time possible! I will only care for your pet in your home. Let me know about your dog's schedule and routine and I will accommodate to best fit their needs!
