Dog Boarding Near Palo Alto, CA: Finding The Perfect Care For Your Furry Friend

Hi! I have two dogs, Loli and Brownie. They are the sweetest! Loving and well-behaved💕 I want to meet people/dogs who could be a good match for us. I don’t have a specific vacation planned, but would like to start a reciprocal relationship to travel in the future with the confidence my babies are well taken care of. I live in Palo Alto.

Cute dog, hates staying alone

I live in Palo Alto with my Corgi, Luna. We like to go on walks in the neighborhood, hiking, and visiting the beach. My partner and I live in an apartment and can watch another dog, but prefer if the dog is a similar or smaller size than Luna. Luna does the best with routine - if possible, going out for walks and her pee / poop around the same time everyday (when you're at home). She is very friendly with humans and is somewhat reactive to dogs but with a proper introduction she'll be fine in your home. She is very food motivated and enjoys naps. She has some noise anxiety, so if you have a fenced yard she'll have plenty of physical activity through that and a walk is unnecessary, otherwise daily walks in a quiet neighborhood are sufficient.

Romy is a very loving and gentle dog. He loves people and plays well with other dogs.

Dot is a 5-year-old, 55-pound American Bully. She's crate trained, loves people and dogs, and doesn't bark (seriously). We recently lost our second dog, a 45-pound chihuahua-pitbull mix, so we are familiar with having two dogs at a time and would enjoy another pup in the house on occasion. We have a smallish fenced yard, great for potty breaks, light zoomies, sniffing, and squirrel viewing. Our human household includes a 16-year-old and his parents, one of whom is a stay-at-home parent.

Tizzy is a super chill dog who just wants to be near people. She usually sleeps most of the day and goes for a short walk in the evening, but she's happy to go along on excursions. She gets along with other small dogs, but she's not especially interested in playing, so quiet dogs would be the best fit. She is fine being home alone for 4-6 hours, but she is used to sleeping in bed with us. I work from home, so there's almost always someone home. We have pet rabbits, so we can only sit for dogs who won't jump a baby gate.

Tomato S'mores Walchen is an australian labradoodle whose enjoys long romps at the beach, chasing rabbits and balls, eating cheese and chicken, and sleeping. He would love to meet a cat, despite having been attacked by one.

We are a family of 4: a 15 year old daughter and 4 year old German Shepherd. He is a sweet and well trained dog who is friendly to both people and other dogs. We live in a single family house with a big backyard. Normally we bring him to the dog park once a day and sometimes a bonus one hour walk in the evening.

I am very friendly, walk with my dog 3 times a day. I prepare chicken with rice for my dog, so I can do the same for your dog. We should meet at least once to see if dogs are compatible.

Hi! We have a small 8lb Maltipoo dog, Ethan is very friendly and affectionate. He loves people, children, and other dogs. Ethan’s very gentle and low energy, he loves to take nap. I work from home most of the time, so my hours are pretty flexible, and could give him potty break every 4-5 hours. I bring him for a walk once or twice per day at the neighborhood. He’s on leash at all time when going to the backyard or when on walk. Ethan has been recently attacked at the dog park, so we’d not be going there anymore. We’d prefer to host 1 dog at a time, or at most two dogs from the same family. We’d be happy to return the favor for the same amount of time for someone else!

We are here for Jax - our 2 years old mini/med golden doodle. He is a house trained, very friendly and loving boy who loves humans and dogs alike. We are happy to host similar dog profiles. He is also hypoallergenic and doesn’t shed much at all. Loves to eat and go for walks.

Hi, my name is Adi and my Golden Retriever's name is Argo! I am looking for someone to do boarding exchanges with for extended trips. Argo is a really good boy, friendly and well-trained. He is a big boy, but he's a baby at heart.

Hi! We are family of four - two adults and two teen girls.

My fiance and I just moved to the Palo Alto area along with our 1yo Bernedoodle, Walter. Walter is a very social dog and gets along with all dogs and humans. We have a couple trips planned for the summer and would love to find another doodle (non-shedding) to swap with. We have a yard and I work from home, so the dogs will have plenty of love, attention and fun.

Hi everyone! We are a family of 5 with two sweet, loving beagles! We love all dogs and we’re excited to meet you and get to know your dogs as well, and potentially swap dog sitting :)

My husband and I are parents to the sweetest and most caring 70 pound black Goldendoodle named Lulu Rose. Her best friend is a self sufficient and very sweet tabby cat named Juliette Monroe. Lulu Rose loves people and takes to them immediately. We also hear she misses us dearly when we are traveling. The number one word we have heard from the people that have dog sat her in the past is sweet.

Flo is a senior one-eyed pug mix.

Capi is a friendly, 11-yr old black lab. He's great with people, kids, and especially loves playing with young dogs. My husband and I have a house in Palo Alto with an enclosed yard.

Timber is a 1 year old chocolate lab who is affectionate, high energy, and trained with basic commands. He lives for fetch and treats. We have a fenced yard and are a few blocks from a large park. We work from home, so he gets lots of attention.

We are a family with two kiddos, no cats. Wilkie is a young adopted rescue (under a year) who is wonderful with kids and other dogs. He's a good sleeper but usually just on his bed. He takes his meals in a crate just for fun but isn't fully crate trained for nighttime yet. He isn't destructive at all, he's playful but submissive and obedient. He doesn't want to be left completely alone for long periods of time (more than 2 hrs) yet but might be just fine if there is another dog in his company. And he's not destructive or anything if left. He's never had any accidents in the house. Only hosting preferences are dogs that aren't super vocal since we rent.

Hi! My name is Siyu and my family (my husband and I, 4 year old daughter, and our dog) live in Palo Alto. We are planning to take a 2 month long trip in the summer, and need to find someone to help look after Kong Kong during this time. We are definitely happy to return the favor when we are around!

Although we usually leave our dog with our housemates, there may be an occasion where we need to find him another boarding option, and we thought finding a fun family to leave him with would be awesome :). Fennec is a great dog, loooooves balls, gets excited when new people come to visit, but is generally pretty chill. Likes other dogs (but likes balls better) and adores his people. Wants to play with cats, but will mostly ignore them or just playfully poke at them until they swat him to let him know they've had enough. We have a great back yard and garden that Fennec (and guest pups) can spend time in, and occasionally, we take him over to one of the two nearby dog parks to play (or to chase balls or to chase other dogs that are chasing balls :)).

I grew up with dogs and I love them. We adopted Archie when he was 4 months old. We live one block away from two parks, one includes a dog park. We walk every morning and evening, rain or shine. Our kids have grown up and on their own now. My wife and I plan to travel a bit and love to share dog cares with dog loving and responsible families during travel.

We have a labradoodle, Coco. She is calm and a good girl. We live in Palo Alto and would like to try out swapping dogs.

Hi, we are a family of 3. Our dog Cali is 2 years old and is very playful, gentle and excitable. She loves toys and extremely food motivated. She understands commands and is generally very friendly, loving and a bit nervous initially. She is easy to manage. She can play 24x7 :)

We are a family with two older kids 16 and 13 year old boys, and our amazing dog Percy. My husband and I are good with animals and we live near a lovely park and have a safe backyard that the dogs can roam around in anytime of day. I work from home and so always have my eyes on the dog and kids. Percy is a well adjusted, playful and friendly dog who likes to just be useless and love anyone who passes him by.

Hi! My name is Lizzy and I have a 5 year old border collie mix named Gunny! We moved to California last September and love to explore around whenever we can. Gunny loves to play with other pups and is an energetic girl. We’re looking forward to making more friends with people a dogs in the Bay!

Hello. We have a sweet chihuahua mix Lucas who loves to play with other dogs and rarely barks. Lucas is well behaved and very low maintenance. He loves to play fetch and cuddles up to you on the sofa. He has access to food all day and only eats when hungry. We love having other dogs around so Lucas gets company and entertainment :).

We are a family of 5 (parents, high school age son and elementary age daughter plus grandma who is a bit wary of dogs). We have a fenced yard and take our dog out once a day for walks, occasionally to dog parks in our neighborhood). Our pup Maui is very easy going, eats kibble with some appetizing human food (yogurt, milk, veg puree mixed in) twice a day, he is very cuddly and attached to mom in particular.

Hi there! My husband, 2 year old, and I live with our pup Luda in Palo Alto. He’s a 3.5 year old havapoo who’s 17lb. — generally good natured and sweet, though can get quite anxious when away from us, so finding the right host is important. We’re happy to host pups who are around the same size or a little bigger — Luda is particularly good with other doodles! He goes for walks 3x a day and we take him to the local park on weekends.

I work from home most of the time, and only go to the office to hit a gym or for an occasional meeting. My husband works from home in the mornings. Children are adults and don't live with us. We have a 3-level, 3-bedroom condo with a balcony, no backyard, but our community has 2 parks on site where all the dogs hang out in the afternoon. I can host a dog any work day, and some weekends.

All of us on our family are dog lovers and love meeting dogs. Between my brother and I we have had 4 dogs. 2 GSDs, 1 Golden Retriever and 1 Rottweiler. My dog Zeno is 6.9 years old and is the sweetest boy ever. He’s very mellow and gentle with people, children babies and dogs. Very social and loves his walks. He is very well trained and obedient.

We have 2 small friendly dogs and hope to swap with others in Palo Alto area. We have a fenced in yard and also walk the dogs regularly. Looking for occasional travel swaps. Also on some weekends we would love to have someone either come by to walk them or let them stay with you for a part of the day.

Greetings! Louie and I moved to Palo Alto in July 2022 and would love to make new furriends in the area for play dates and possible weekend swaps. We live in a house with a fenced yard and also have easy access to a fenced field for playtime with our neighborhood buddies. Louie is a 4-year old standard size labradoodle with the sweetest personality (I often joke that he’s a human in a dog suit). Louie loves all dogs, big or small, and is great with kiddos. He loves his morning walks just as much as he enjoys snoozing on the couch during the day. We usually go on a longer walk in the evening or stop by the dog park for him to run around and socialize some. Louie is a big fan of ending his day with some doggie ice cream! 😋

We are a family of 5 (including costa). First time dog owners and enjoying it. Happy to have another company for Costa anytime we r around.

None now

Human part of dynamic duo with my wonder pup Jaika. Jaika is super friendly, loves doggy day care and dog parks - and treats.

We have a 1 year, 3 month Aussiedoodle in Palo Alto. She's spayed, crate and potty trained. She loves humans and other dogs. Her favorite activity is being petting.

Our dog: Zahra is small mixed breed, probably Italian Greyhound and Chihuahua. She likes to play and cuddle and is very food motivated. She does shed a little. Zahra needs a lot of activity. She needs 2-3 walks a day for at least a total of 3 miles, but she will gladly walk 5 or 6 miles and play a lot. As of 1/23, she has recall, is improving at stay, knows take it, leave it, sit, lay down, and down. We are working on skills regularly. You need to be willing to use cheese, meat, or other high stake treats (I will provide) as her leave it and stay treat We will provide all the doggy treats (and can provide cheese). She's loving and sweet, but is used to being with her humans most of the time. We have a house and backyard, and we're excited to try a trade. Your dog: Not more than 25 lbs. Shedding is fine. Must get along well with Zahra and like talking walks (ideally at least 4 miles daily) and playing (at home and in the dog park). We would do a meet and greet and a test playdate and overnight before doing longer stays. Prefer a dog match up within 20 minute drive of Palo Alto if at all possible, but will go farther for the right fit.

Hello. My name is Trang. Koki is a poogle (beagle poodle mixed). Miso is a golden doodle. You’ll never be bored with koki. Always wants to play if you are up for it. On the other hand, Miso loves and loves to cuddle :).

Willow is a very playful and energetic dog outdoors and equally calm indoors. She loves to play chase on open lawns and dog parks. She’s very social with dogs but can be shy with people at first.

We are a family of 5 - including Laya - our Saintberdoodle!

Nellie is a super friendly and playful pup. His days consist of lots of naps, walks, playing with other dogs, chasing birds and flying leaves, and rolling around on grass.
