Amazing Client Feedback

Real testimonials from real pet parents just like you.

Responsive and thoughtful
I'm a downtown Redwood City resident near Courthouse Square, and the STB team has been fabulous helping with my new puppy, Charlie! The team are responsive and thoughtful. Their scheduling app makes it so easy to schedule and pay for walks. I highly recommend their team!

This dog walking service has been the best our family has ever used. They are very caring, they are great communicators, and follow any instructions you give about your dog/home. I highly recommend this service if you live in the Bay Area 🙂 (ps they take a lot of great photos!)

Everything above and beyond
Cannot say enough good things about this whole team! With a new puppy at home, keeping a routine in his training when I went back to office was so important so I found Simply the Best on Nextdoor and am soooo thankful. Everything from communication, scheduling, and care for my dogs has been above and beyond. So glad there are trustworthy and quality pet care givers out there🥳

STB is the best! Always on time, so reliable, and they send a fun note detailing the walk and include tons of photos every day! They let me know that they’ve given her treats and refreshed her water. I feel that my pup is so well cared for when I’m at work and couldn’t ask for a better team to help with her!

Absolutely LOVE pets! Friendly and accommodating
I live in Sand Hill Circle in Menlo Park and I am so beyond happy with the service we've received from the team. They absolutely LOVE pets and you can tell with every move they make. Their responsiveness through the app is always immediate, friendly, and as honest and accommodating as is possible.

Detailed photos and updates
Simply The Best Pet Care is wonderful! They took fantastic care of our cats and sent photos/detailed updates after every visit. We will certainly ask them for more drop-in visits in the future 🙂

Professional, courteous, and compassionate
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with STB, and we could not recommend the team more. They were professional, courteous, and compassionate with my cat while I was gone for the holiday season. I received updates and pictures every visit, which really helped me feel more at ease knowing that my baby was being cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions

We provide dog walking and pet sitting services in San Carlos, Redwood City, Emerald Hills, Menlo Park, Atherton, Downtown Woodside, and parts of Portola Valley and Palo Alto.

We specialize in private, week-to-week dog walking in your neighborhood, ensuring a safe, tailored experience for your pup. Build your dog's weekday schedule with us and make it set-it-and-forget-it!

We also offer pet sitting (drop-in visits) for dogs, cats, and small animals that includes feeding, watering, litter/potty break, and basic household tasks to maintain your home while you're away. At this time, we are only accepting pet sitting clients for whom one visit per day with flexible timing is appropriate - in these cases, pets have access to food and water already but are simply looking for some attention each day and a basic chores refresh.

Yes, this is our specialty! If you're looking to outsource your dog's midday walk and never worry about it again, we're the ones for you. "Set-it-and-forget-it" is a common approach our clients take, knowing they can trust us completely and focus on their day with a clear mind.

To ensure your pets stay in their most comfortable and familiar environment, we specialize in private dog walking and in-home pet sitting (drop-in visits).

We do not offer boarding at a facility or overnight stays in your home, but our extended drop-in visits are a great alternative for pets who need extra company during the day!

We operate as a small, close-knit team, meaning any team member can work with any pet. This approach means you're never scrambling to find a replacement. When you work with solo sitters, if they get sick, go out of town, are fully booked, or otherwise become unavailable, you're left in a lurch finding a replacement. We eliminate that worry: our incredible team members are all highly trained and can all work successfully with your pet, ensuring you a spot on our calendar at all times.

The safety of your home and pets is our top priority. All our team members are thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and highly trained. We are also fully insured and bonded. You’ll have the chance to meet a member of our team during our complimentary meet & greet so you can feel 100% confident.

We use a tech-forward approach to pet care. After every visit, you’ll receive a real-time update through our app, Time to Pet, including a detailed visit update and photos of your pet. Our post-visit updates include a summary of our time with your pet and alert you of any health or behavioral changes. We'll never leave you guessing!

STB has been proudly serving Peninsula professionals and their pets since 2014. Our mission is to help high-performing Peninsula professionals reclaim time and energy by partnering with the best pet care professionals in town!

Our office hours are 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. We will reach out to you first thing Monday morning if you contact us over the weekend, and we thank you for your patience!

We offer pet sitting services on weekends. We are currently only accepting clients for whom one visit per day with flexible timing is appropriate. This is best suited to cats who free feed or have automatic feeders.

Getting started is easy! You can schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet through our website. This allows us to meet you and your pet, learn their routine, and ensure we’re the perfect fit for your needs. Your time is valuable: rest assured that our onboarding process is quick but thorough. We can get you on the calendar in as little as 24 hours!
