Why Portola Valley pet parents choose at-home care
Portola Valley is about 4,500 people spread across large, wooded lots, and the town trail system is the heart of it — hiking, biking and equestrian routes that run through the community and connect into the open space district. Dogs here get more trail time than almost anywhere else we serve.
We regularly visit Ladera, Westridge, Woodside Highlands and the Windy Hill area, plus the rest of Portola Valley.

Where Portola Valley dogs actually spend their time
Knowing where a dog walks tells us what we will find in the coat before we open the van.
- Windy Hill Open Space Preserve
- over 12 miles of trails; dogs are allowed on all of them except the Lost and Razorback trails
- Westridge
- two-and-a-half-acre minimum lots backing onto the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
- Ladera
- the 1940s cooperative housing community, with its own rec center and shopping center
What that means for your dog’s coat
This is foxtail country. Grass seeds work into the feathering behind the legs, between the toes and around the ears, and once they start moving inward they do not come back out on their own. On a Portola Valley dog we go through those areas deliberately, section by section, before anything else happens. Redwood duff and burrs from the shaded lots are the other regular find.
Getting to your door in Portola Valley
Long private driveways and detached properties are the norm here, and they suit us — we can set up well away from the house. If you keep horses, we work around the barn without a problem.
