Professional dog walking with DSLR photos every walk, GPS tracking, and someone who genuinely loves your dog — serving your neighborhood in Palo Alto since 2024.
I used to wake up and the house felt too quiet. No wagging tail at the door, no reason to lace up my shoes before the world got going. I knew something was missing — and it had four legs.
MorningPaws started because I needed dogs in my mornings as much as dogs need someone who actually shows up. I'm not running a fleet of walkers. It's just me — your neighbor in Old Palo Alto — showing up at the same time, knowing your dog's name, their quirks, which hydrant they always stop at.
Every walk ends with a DSLR photo of your dog, so you can see exactly how their adventure went while you were at work. Because you deserve to know your dog is okay — not just hear it.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a walk your dog will be thinking about all day.
Handing your keys to someone and trusting them with your dog is a big deal. Here's what I've done to earn that.
MorningPaws carries full pet sitter liability insurance, so if something unexpected happens, you're covered. I'll never ask you to take that risk on faith alone.
Every walk is logged via GPS. You'll see the exact route taken, total distance, and duration. No wondering — just certainty. I share a walk map after every session.
Completed a certified pet first aid course — I know how to respond to choking, injury, and heat exhaustion. Hopefully never needed, but I carry a first aid kit on every walk.
Slip-lead, treat pouch, waste bags, water bowl, and a full first aid kit — all on my person. I don't improvise with your dog's safety.
Your dog gets a real photo session during every walk — not a blurry phone snap. I shoot with a dedicated camera so you get a portrait you'll actually want to keep.
I serve a tight geographic radius — Old Palo Alto, Southgate, College Terrace, Ventura, and Escondido Village — so I'm always on time. Your dog doesn't get bumped for someone across town.
The golden who started it all. Every morning walk began because of him — and now yours can too.
