Palo Alto Pet Care

There is no finer person then Dan Sullivan. He is warm, kind, considerate, and gentle.
Dan, his wife, his daughter, and his assistant have been walking my dog for four years now. He’s a total stand up guy. Whenever he arrives at my home, my nine-​year-​old goldendoodle is thrilled to see him.
Dan takes my boy on an outing four times per week. He has put in place excellent procedures and invested in a fabulous van for the dogs. When needed, he is generally able to walk my dog on evenings when I cannot.
If I could give him six stars, I would.

I met Dan Sullivan through serendipity. I was walking our two dogs and came across Dan dropping off a dog down the street. I had been looking for an appropriate dog outing for our rambunctious year-​old puppy. I approached Dan and struck up a conversation. I was impressed with his genuine friendliness and professional demeanor. We set up an appointment for him to meet Jupiter. Dan was exactly on time, as he has been on every instance. He spent an hour meeting with me and the dog and going over the paper work. Now once or twice a week, Dan picks up our dog between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. and returns him approximately 2−½ hours later. During that time, he rides with his buddies in a kitted-​out-​for-​canines van to a dog park where he can safely play under the watchful eyes of Dan and Miranda and returns home nicely tuckered out from exercise. I should mention that they constantly interact with the dogs, playing with them, petting them and making sure they are adequately hydrated. How do I know this? On the second or third outing, I took our older dog and showed up unannounced, so I got to see the play session first hand. Jupiter loves Dan and is always excited to go on his play date. I appreciate Dan’s obvious love of the dogs, his professionalism, and his communication skills. I couldn’t be happier with Palo Alto Pet Care.

We found Dan through Unilocal,so we feel obliged to pass along our experience. We agreed to sit for friends’ dogs — which turned out to be a lot to handle. At the last minute (on a Sunday), Dan answered our call, came by, and immediately helped us out. Once a day, Dan managed to exercise the miscreant dogs and returned them happy and tired. He came through and completely rescued us. We have even programmed his phone number into our cell phones!

This is a review based solely on a phone interaction with Dan because he wasn’t even courteous enough to show up for a meeting he suggested.
I called to inquire about house visit services for our puppy and Dan told me he thought it was something he could do. He suggested a meeting to discuss and so he could meet our dog. He never showed up and didn’t even bother to call. If it was a service he didn’t want to provide or we were outside of his service area he should have just said so on the phone.
I wouldn’t want to leave my dog in the care of someone so unprofessional!

We have been relying on Dan for close to six years now, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Not only is he a pleasure for us to work with (prompt, courteous, timely, and super accommodating), but our Standard Poodle adores him and happily runs off to her play date with her tail held high. She goes four times a week, and I don’t know what we’d do without him. He is as good as it gets!

Palo Alto Pet Care is amazing! My bosses dog literally waits for Dan to come everyday and you should see the look on her face when he arrives. Dan is professional, courteous, prompt and amazing with all the dogs he walks. If your looking for a dog walker you need not look anymore and Dan is your man for the job!

Dan Sullivan has been working with my now 14-​year old dog for many years. She spends 3 mornings per week in his morning dog-​park outings. He runs his business in the most professional way — always on time, good communication and loving care of my dog. She loves when he arrives at the house… she hears the «whistle» and she is by his side in a moment. EM Atherton

Dan Sulllivan is the only person I would trust with my dogs Harry and Puppet. He and his partner Miranda truely love dogs and treat each dog as if it was part of their own family. My only regret is that they do not offer overnight stays when we are out of town.

Dan is wonderful. He was great with our very old dog — patient and kind. Also he was 100% reliable. We could not have asked for a better dog person.
