About Me

Mornings walks are my favorite

I'm a Stanford student, and I grew up walking dogs every morning before school. Since my dog stayed back home, in college I had no reason to get outside before the day started. It made mornings noticeably slow.

So I started walking dogs in my neighborhood: Old Palo Alto, Southgate, College Terrace, Ventura, Escondido Village. The small radius means I know the streets and I show up on time.

I also shoot on a DSLR as a hobby, so I offer photos during the walk. The photos I get are sometimes funny! You can't anticpate the expressions a canine subject will make.

Why Trust Me

Professional from the first leash clip.

Handing your keys to someone and trusting them with your dog is a big deal. Here's what I've done to earn that.

Fully Insured

MorningPaw carries full liability insurance through the Pet Sitters Association. My goal is that it's never need, but if something unexpected happens, you're covered.

GPS Tracking

Every walk is logged via GPS. You'll see the exact route taken, total distance, and duration. I share a screenshot of thewalk map after every session.

First Aid Kit On Every Walk

I carry the Chewey Trail Dog First Aid Kit. I know how to use the included antiobiotics, sponges, and pet-approved bandages.

Professional Equipment

Treat pouch, waste bags, water bowl, and a full first aid kit are all on my person. I have everything needed for comfort and safety. Due to the variety of leashes available, I prefer to use a leash your dog is familiar with.

DSLR Photography

Your dog gets a photo from my DSLR camera during the walk. I carry the camera because I enjoy birdwatching and would be happy to take a phoot of your dog.

Reliable & Punctual

I serve a tight geographic radius (Old Palo Alto, Southgate, College Terrace, Ventura, and Escondido Village) so I'm always on time.
