Pet Sitting West Menlo Park

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.

About: I consider it an honor to take care of people’s furry family members . I am new to this but after raising kids, grandkids and loving and caring for all our family pets , I will treat your pet like my own. I have free time throughout the day to and after 8pm to care for your cats or dogs and give them the attention , stimulation , walls and play time they need. Golden seniors may just need a cuddle and attend to their senior needs . Due to toddler age children I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my own home . Happy to house sit for you!

“Thank you so much for watching our boys while we were in Italy and we really appreciated all of your hard work and updates throughout the week. It was the longest time they had ever been alone but seemed to have done really well so thank you again so much.”

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.

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my family had two dogs and two cats, and today I'm a proud cat mom to two wonderful kitties. Having spent so much of my life caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs. I understand how to make cats feel comfortable, whether they're playful and affectionate or shy and independent. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles (if your cat enjoys them!). I'll treat your pets like my own and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate your cat's feeding schedule and specific needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I'll always respect your cat's routine, personality, and personal space. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I'm also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I grew up raising three dogs and have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I now have a dog of my own, Kylo Bear, a fully trained Goldendoodle/Aussie mix who keeps life fun and active. I’m extremely dedicated, detail-oriented, and truly love being around dogs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide lots of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. Kylo is very well trained, and I’m happy to help reinforce training, routines, and good habits during my time with your dog if that’s something you’d like incorporated. I understand how important routines, patience, and communication are when caring for someone else’s pet, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup loves being active or just wants cuddles and company, I’ll care for them like family. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work from home. I structure my day around breaks for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and outdoor time, so dogs are never left without attention or company for long periods. Having my own dog, Kylo Bear, already makes pet care part of my everyday life. He’s fully trained and well-behaved, and I’m used to incorporating walks, training reinforcement, and structured activity throughout the day. Outside of regular work hours, I love being active with dogs, taking them on longer walks or even jogs if they enjoy it. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to match each dog’s needs, whether that means more exercise, more play, or a calmer environment. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every dog in my care. Because I work from home, dogs are supervised throughout the day and are rarely left alone for extended periods. I build my schedule around their needs, including regular walks, feeding routines, playtime, and rest. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable, clean, and low-stress space where they can relax and feel secure. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, and I adjust activity accordingly. Whether that means structured play, enrichment, or quiet downtime. Safety is always my top priority. Walks are done on leash, and I’m mindful of each dog’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level in different environments. I also follow any instructions closely and keep owners updated with communication and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Trina went above and beyond taking care of our little dog and keeping him company. We are so glad to have found her and will definitely try to have her again!”

About: I have walked 8 dogs a week, bathed, and pet sat for multiple neighbors. Knowing how important our furry friends are, they are alway handled with care and prioritized. I am currently enrolled at Menlo College and have full time availability. No pets are left alone, and pets are taken for daily walks and potty breaks. I can also care for your pet based on your personal preferences! I currently live on campus. My dorm is always clean and spacious. Walks and potty breaks will be taken as needed (per pet) and hazardous items are always stored away.

About: My wife and I have had dogs for close to 25 years. From puppies to senior dogs. Our boy Casey Jones is 11. We typically do two walks per day, morning and late afternoon, but can adjust to your dog's needs. My wife and I both work from home, and I only part time. We love dogs, and have flexibility and plenty of time to devote to your pup. We have a large fenced backyard and a super friendly dog to keep yours company. Lots of toys and comfy beds throughout the house that our boy Casey Jones is happy to share. If needed, we also can crate a dog up to about 100 pounds.

“Kate is fantastic! She’s dependable, responsive, detail-oriented and she truly loves animals. I recommend her without any reservations! She will take excellent care of your pet and/or home.”

About: I may be new to dog sitting, but I’m definitely not new to being a dog person! 🐶💗 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’m so excited to welcome some furry friends into my home and treat them like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently working on the weekdays but free on weekends. I’m mostly home during the weekends or outside hiking. Would love for a furry friend to join me on my hikes and lounge with me while watching Netflix! I live with my boyfriend and he will be around but I will be responsible for your pup! ☺️ I currently live in an apartment with my boyfriend Zach! I will be able to provide tons of potty breaks for your furry friend! I also would be around for multiple walks a day. Dogs are welcome on the bed when it comes to sleeping!

About: Hi there! I have 18 years of experience caring for dogs! I have two dogs myself, as you can see in my profile picture. They’re called Okie and Kale! They’re extremely laid-back and friendly. I work from home, so I can pretty much keep an eye on your pet throughout the day. We have a clean home with everything that is needed to ensure your pet has a great time and feel safe. We have a backyard for those pets who like to be outside! We will take tons, I mean, tons of photos of your pet and update you with their day! I understand that every pet is unique, with their personality, needs, and quirks. I take the time to get to know each pet I care for, creating a personalized experience that caters to their individual needs. I’m here to provide the love and care they deserve. Please book with me! My schedule is flexible. My girlfriend has just the same experience taking care of dogs! Weekends we are free all day, send me a message for the times you need and we can make it work! I have a fenced big grass yard where the dogs can play fetch and soak under the sun. I have comfortable dogs beds, and a box load of toys they can play with!

“Rachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !”

About: I have had experience watching and caring for dogs my entire life. Sometimes I feel like dogs understand me more than people. I hope to meet your dogs soon! Currently between jobs and wanted to earn some money doing something I love. I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of dogs and my daily routine is currently open. large fenced in back yard under giant avocado tree. plenty of space to run around. Live in beautiful downtown Palo Alto with lots of tree lined streets and parks

About: I’ve shared life with animals for 23 years—starting with my cat Chiquita (14 wonderful years), a rescued lab-beagle Hooke, and two rambunctious pups: Tiger (adopted 4 years ago) and Lou (3 years ago). Tiger lives confidently with epilepsy, so I’m well-versed in seizure monitoring, timed oral meds, and sub-cutaneous injections when needed. Right now my own dogs are staying abroad, so caring for your pets fills that furry void. With this hands-on medical experience, I’m equally comfortable looking after seniors, puppies, and other special-needs companions. Your dog receives one-family-at-a-time attention, calm positive-reinforcement handling, and daily photo updates. Standard neighborhood walks and yard play are included; beach days, trail hikes, or extended runs can be arranged for an additional fee to cover travel and time. I work locally but not on a strict 9-to-5 clock, so pets start their day with a 7 AM walk and breakfast, get a mid-day potty break (between 12-2 PM), and enjoy a long evening adventure after 5 PM. Weekends are wide open for beach runs, parks, or lazy couch snuggles. Boarding stays include one family movie night—dogs pick the film!—and lights-out around 10 PM. I never book more animals than I can give individual attention. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I host one family at a time in a clean, smoke-free house with a fully fenced yard, so dogs (and adventurous cats!) can sniff around outdoors under my watch whenever the weather’s nice. Inside, open space, and plants are pet-safe. For outings, I’m fully kitted out—seat-belt harnesses, water packs, etc. I ask for current vaccines before booking to keep everyone healthy. You’ll get time-stamped photos and quick replies throughout your pet’s stay, so you’re never left wondering how your best friend is doing.

About: I’ve had experience caring for and spending time with both small and large dogs, including dogs belonging to family and friends. I’ve also provided overnight care for a senior dog, which included following a medication schedule and making sure they received their food properly. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’m excited to provide reliable, loving care. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to take them on walks, give them plenty of attention, and help them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I recently finished college and started my post-grad a full-time job, so I’m looking to provide pet care during my available hours. I’m especially interested in morning dog walks or drop-in visits from 5-7:30AM, as well as afternoon availability after 3pm. Aside from that, I can work weekends, though I am willing to adjust my schedule for you and your pets needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to following any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll always treat your home and belongings with respect and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision. My goal is for you to feel confident and worry-free while your pet is in my care.

“Cynthia was great! my babies got lots of love, looking forward to booking her again 🫶🏽”
