Dog Boarding in Palo Alto

Margaret and John are amazing, we are so grateful to have found them and will definitely be rebooking for future trips. We adopted our first dog, Chevy, over 3 years ago and had previously only left her once with another sitter, which was a horrific experience for us all. She's a nervous girl and takes a while warm up to new people, which has meant we've avoided leaving her in the care of anyone. Adding in the fact she's 80lbs and can pull suddenly and hard when spooked, makes her tricky to handle for the average sitter, so she requires a very special type of person to care for her. During the meet and greet before booking, Margaret and John were super knowledgeable about dogs, especially nervous pups, and knew all the things we usually advise people on first meeting her (avoiding eye contact, slow, calm movements, generally just ignoring her and letting her check out her new surroundings). Our other pup, Sprout, is an easy going, happy-go-lucky boy who's relatively easy to care for, but is also a big guy, at 70lbs. From the first encounter we felt that Margaret would be more than capable of caring for our pups and we were absolutely not disappointed. She provided regular updates and Chevy was even comfortable enough zooming around in her backyard, testament to the calm environment Margaret had set up. Margaret is well on her way to becoming on Chevy's "friend" list after only 24h in her care, and we look forward to having her care for Chevy and Sprout again in the future.

MinJun and Mi Ran are the best rover host you would want to find. They really love dogs and treated our dog as if their own. They took great care of our dog and even offered him a clean bed when they noticed his crate was dirty. They sent us a lot of pictures and updates and we would definitely trust them with our dog anytime!

Manli and her family were really great. Attentive to Kobe‘s needs and personality. Sent daily updates and pictures. She also did me a huge favor by taking him on last minute when the work on my house needed to be extended. Kobe loves it there as well. I could not recommend her more.

Milo is so sad when coming home from Jesse and Kimmy. He has so much fun there, and he can’t wait to go back and play again. I always know he’s in good hands!

Tracy was great with Teddy. Loved her updates and I can tell she took great care of him. Will definitely leave Teddy with her again next time we travel.

Aspen’s second stay with Fang was even better than the first! Fang is so thoughtful and caring and took excellent care of Aspen. She made us feel so comfortable with a ton of pictures, videos and updates. Will 100% book with Fang again in the future. Thank you, Fang :)

This was my first time with michael and he was really great with my fur baby… he was very interactive, communicative and took lots of photos, and I will definitely be using him in the future!

Jifu did an amazing job with Benito. He was very fast with his replies and Benito came home tired out and happy! Would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Jasmine is our go-to sitter! She’s so easy to communicate with and truly spends quality time with Franny, playing with her, taking her out on walks, and making sure she’s happy.

Meerim took great care of our boy. Before the stay, she asked lots of questions and helped to make us feel comfortable. During the stay, she sent us photos and updates, letting us know our boy way having a great time!

Christina was very responsive and thoughtful in all our interactions. She was able to take my dog somewhat last minute after my original boarding plan fell through. In our meet and greet she asked all the right questions about his personality, likes and dislikes, how he walked on leash, food, habits, etc. She has a nice house and a fully fenced yard for the doggies to play in. She only takes one dog at a time, but she has her own dog so my dog had a buddy to hang out with. I would definitely use Christina again.

Olga, igor and their kids did a fantastic job taking care of Kiki. They were very easy to work with on drop off/pick up timings and made sure to learn about Kiki's needs and quirks. Great communication during the stay with regular photos and videos. Kiki lived her best life-walks, the dog park and snuggles. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

Very kind and considerate, were flexible when my travel plans were impacted by weather. Can tell that they enjoy having a furry friend and he had a great time with them!

Rachel is so caring and amazing! She sends pics and updates and she really works well with my dog who has bad anxiety. When my mom was in the hospital she was flexible in keeping Rudy for longer and was asking about my welfare. I could tell she really cares about my dog Rudy!

We live in Los Angeles but when we had an event in Palo Alto, we knew we had to bring Misha to see her absolute favorite babysitter!! Tilliana is the best! We have used her before when we were in the area and can’t say enough good things! Our tiny girl is usually very reserved and skittish but Tilliana brings her out of her shell and gets her having the time of her life. Misha thinks she is being rewarded with an awesome pup vacation rather than dropped off with a babysitter. Tilliana is a win-win for parents and pups alike!! We have a couple trips coming up and have decided it is worth flying up and dropping our sweet girl with Tilliana before leaving - she’s that good!!

Christopher was fantastic with my two pups while we were away on a road trip! Toko tends to be a bit skittish when anxious, and Christopher took both Arya and Toko on walks regularly without any issues. He gave me detailed daily updates, was very communicative throughout our trip, and sent me the best glamour shots of their faces! I absolutely recommend him for watching over your furry family members.

Michael was fantastic with Alastor, my sweet and energetic Aussie! He was easy to communicate with, and Alastor was relaxed and calm when I picked him up from his stay - always a great sign that he felt comfortable and got good exercise. Looking forward to working with Michael again soon!
