“Laural is absolutely amazing! Aside from her being super friendly she was so loving to our dog. He’s not used to having anyone come walk him but he was so excited with her and was so exhausted that night which was a huge plus. The icing on the cake was the fact that she’s walking distance to us! We will definitely be using her again and we highly recommend Laural”

“Xi was one of the best dog walkers would could have asked for. She was kind, considerate and sent the best update photos of our pets while we were away. She very clearly loves animals and the next time we need a dog walker she will be a top choice.”

“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my girls. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet and loved being with her. I truly enjoyed the pictures and video updates and especially love how my cat took to her also. I will definitely check to see if she is available for any time that I will be traveling and in need of help. Thank you so much Dawn! XOXO Enzi and Annie 💜”

“SoYoung is really great! She is very flexible with scheduling & communicate really well. Most importantly, she loves dogs! She is patient with my 2 doodles. Committed to take them on a good long walk & played fetch with them. My dogs came home tired & happy, which is the goal! At the end of the walk she always include pictures, which made me feel very at ease when I'm away. She's trustworthy! :)”

About: I have vet office experience and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I'm familiar with all kinds of pets, from giant dogs to the tiniest kittens (and other small animals like rabbits and reptiles!) and all of life's stages. I'm comfortable administering medications and strive to keep you updated on your furbaby's wellbeing while you're away. I'm currently between full time work, so have more time to spend with your furbabies! I'm available most weekends and happy to help for those longer trips. Safety is my top priority! Making sure your pets are comfortable and cared for to your standards and for your peace of mind while you are away is what I strive for.
“Darnelle was amazing!! I had to leave for the weekend urgently and Darnelle kindly agreed to walk him at the last minute. She was always on point, and was patient with directions to enter the building. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog Benji was comfortable and walked him for ample time on both days! Even though my dog isn’t very friendly with new people, he warmed up to her quickly and went on walks without any hassle. Would definitely recommend her for all your doggy care needs! She is the best”

“When we got home Ginger seemed very content and comfortable. It gave us a sense of relief to know that Ginger was in good hands and allowed us time to spend with the family seeing a concert on Christmas Eve! We would definitely like to use Candi again!”

About: My experience comes from helping out friends and family with their pets. I’ve been wanting to have a dog in bay area, even though haven't had a chance yet. However, I would jump on any opportunity to help friends and family with their dogs. I’ve done everything from keeping an eye on them for a few minutes to overnight stays while they were away on trips. I always do my best to make sure the dogs are not only safe but also have a fantastic time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care for your pet. I have open availability for all-day care, walks, and overnight stays from Friday through Monday, making it perfect for weekend trips. During weekdays, from Tuesday to Thursday, I’m available for any evening services, such as walks or drop-in visits, anytime after 4 pm. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ve created a trustworthy and welcoming environment for them to enjoy. My home is a spacious three-floor townhouse, providing plenty of room for your dog to explore, play, and find a quiet, cozy corner to relax. There’s also a secure front patio, perfect for supervised potty breaks and safely enjoying some fresh airs and sunshine throughout the day. To ensure you have complete peace of mind, I’ll provide frequent photo and video updates and am always committed to maintaining your dog's established routines.
About: I’ve been talking care of animals since I was 11. I had big dogs growing up and several cats in my adult life. As I’m unable to have pets in my current living space I’d love to come love and care for yours. Although I work full time I’m single and have no pets of my own so I have plenty of spare time to care and watch your pets. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and love to go on hikes during the weekends. I’m familiar with crate and reward based training. I stay off my phone and make sure to be present and looking out for your animal at all times.
“Melissa did a great first walk of Tuggy and was wonderful about answering our questions for potential house sitting in the future! She was very patient with him. We will definitely book her in the future!”

About: I have had animals and loved animals since I was a child. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary/ rescue. I am experienced, reliable and consistent. I am available to work around you and your pets schedule. I have friends whom ask me to pet sit for years they know my love of animals and that I will take great care of them. I am retired because I am moving to Mexico in 6 mos. This is where I hope to start an animal rescue with my husband. So my schedule is open to be able to accommodate your needs. I will follow detailed requests in regards to the safety of your pet in my care. I am detail oriented. Your animals are my top priority.
About: With five years of experience in dog care, I offer specialized services that include, behavioral understanding, and dietary management, and I create customized care plans tailored to each dog's unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to continuous learning, reliability, and a calm, patient demeanor that fosters a stress-free environment for all dogs. I am dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized care that keeps dogs happy, healthy, and well-loved. I am working remote so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog, whether pay your pet a visit or take a wonderful walk outside. I am a dog owner myself, so I know it well how to protect the lovely creature. I believe safety first and happiness is the most importance to my dog and your dog.
About: During my time that I have been alive I have owned two corgis. Throughout that time I have grown to care for dogs and other animals a lot and love them all. The entirety of my life I have had an animal in my household. These pets have been mainly dogs, but I have also taken care of other animals, such as cats! I am a very attentive person when it comes to anyone else's animal just as much as my own. Every animal deserves as much love as the other. I am currently in college in my final years and have been wanting to take care of as many animals as I can so I can have as much experience with them for future pets that I own. Additionally, animals make my day much more enjoyable and I want to share my love for animals with other peoples' pets! I will make sure to take care of your pet(s) as much as I can to make sure they feel just as much love as the next one or previous one. My dogs growing up have always been kind hearted animals since I have gave them proper care and love with my family. Whatever food is needed, I'll make sure they get it on time and double check to see if they ate it. A bowl of water will be always full to keep them hydrated. Any necessary meds, pills, dietary needs, etc. will be fulfilled to the best of my ability. Plus, any other needs that are necessary will be met! In the past, I volunteered at a pet clinic and aided my girlfriend with taking care of animals. She has shown me how to feed certain animals, alongside with how to give them proper meds if needed. I made sure each pets physical activity was met daily and taken cared of. My favorite types of animals are dogs. The smaller and medium dogs have been my favorite throughout my life. Some of them being Corgi's, Shiba Inu's, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and many more. Regardless of breed and size, my experience with many different types of dogs has been something I have expansive knowledge on and will help as much as I can to take care of your dogs! I am currently in-between jobs and a college student who will be attending SJSU. Monday through Sunday are all days that can work for me and at any point during the day and evening. I currently live at home with my one dog, who is a Cardigan Corgi, named Truman. I have taken care of him for most of my life and will as long as I possibly can. He's cared for, fed, given water, taken on walks, given attention, and plays with me everyday. Additionally, I had another childhood corgi named Hobbes. I also took care of him like my current dog Truman. I made sure to take care of him to the fullest till his final days. My range for dogs can work at any size since I have also taken care of a Mastiff and a Shiba Inu, who were apart of my family pets. I can also take care of cats, since my friends ask me to take care of them when they can't and I help my girlfriend daily with her cats as seen from my other pictures.
About: I've volunteered with local animal shelters for the last 11 years, socializing dogs and cats. I've fostered pairs of puppies under 8wk old, as well as puppies greater than 8wk old and potty training and teaching basic commands. In college, I was on the pre-veterinary track, and worked as a vet tech assistant at San Jose Animal Care Center and San Roque Pet Hospital. I also volunteered in rescue with Channel Islands Marine Wildlife Institute to rescue, rehabilitate, and release seals and sea lions. I now volunteer with Pets in Need as a dog socializer. I currently work from home on Fridays with only one 1hr meeting that I take virtually, and am otherwise incredibly flexible. My weekends are free completely. I have no pets but occasionally may foster and will let you know if I am currently fostering. I have a fenced yard with a grass lawn, sandbox, and cement patio. I live in a 2 story house with the first story being wood flooring and the second floor being carpet.
“Very kind person and my dogs (who can sometimes be shy) trusted her right away. She was patient with them and did a great job communicating with me and sending cute pictures!”


About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have been caring for my own pups since college, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes (parents owned a german shepherd). I’m also familiar with puppies personalities and enjoy puppy energy!! I work full time from home which means I have flexibility for snuggles and play time, as well as bathroom breaks whenever needed! Usual schedule is 3 walks a day but schedule can be adjusted based on needs! I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so I’ll send you regular updates and plenty of adorable photos throughout the day. You will never have to wonder how your pup is doing!
