About: I have trained my cat to use the human toilet when she was little. My dog passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test and Therapy Dog Test. My dog and I have visited senior homes as well as the libraries for the kids. I enjoy training my pets and watching my friend's dog. I work full-time and my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to drop in or walk dogs in my area. I can provide service on most week days and Saturdays I have a small fenced front yard for the dogs to hang. I have a very friendly 8-year old Boston Terrier that plays well with pretty much any dog. I also have indoor un-carpeted space for dogs.

About: Having an animal as part of your family is one of life’s greatest things! The warmth and love that comes with having a pet that you truly bond with is amazing, and that is what made me want to help others with their pets. I’m experienced, patient, and will accommodate any needs your pet has that will make them their happiest. I know every animal is different and that there are lots of personalities and preferences for each pet. I’m comfortable working with animals that may need a little more TLC or adjustment time, and will take things at their pace. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! ** I'm also happy to provide drop-in services for pocket pets, fish, and house plant care as well for no additional booking charge. ** I have open availability and can accommodate your schedule. I am located in San Jose area and can travel throughout the Bay Area. I give every pet lots of attention and exceptional care based on their owner’s specific directions. I understand it’s hard to be away from them, and I’ll be there to provide comfort for pets and peace of mind for their owners. Available for in-home care and will always keep your pet’s safety and comfort first. My love for animals and familiarity with cats and dogs of different kinds will ensure your pet gets the individualized care they need! I make sure that owners get detailed and frequent reports and pictures throughout each visit.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since childhood, offering gentle, detail oriented, punctual care, early morning walks, loving attention, and photo updates for peace of mind parents. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet cats’ needs, including feeding, playtime, litter care, companionship, and calm routines during weekdays and weekends. I respect each cat’s space and routine, keep environments clean and quiet, follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety, and provide patient, gentle attention to reduce stress.

About: Nice to meet you, my name is Ghelina and I have always loved animals. I currently have the time available to be able to share, attend to them and, above all, give them a lot of appreciation. I live in San José in an apartment, so I have the space available to be able to share with your pet🐶🐱. If you are looking for a trusted person, you can write to me with pleasure 🤗 I have taken care of pets since I was 18 years old, neighbors, family and friends have trusted me because they know that I love dogs or kittens since they are part of the family and accompany us day by day to make us happy with their company.🫶🏻 I have the availability to be able to attend and take care of them but above all that they feel confident with me, since I like to share a lot with animals 🤍 I have a large room of an apartment since we only live 2 people, and outside 3 gardens by the apartments to be able to go out with them.

“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”

Darren was a lifesaver! He came through on short-notice when our original sitter had to cancel. My dog Izzy absolutely adored him and didn't even want to come back to me after her walk! She just wanted pets from from Darren! Darren was professional, kind, and super trustworthy. I will absolutely book with him if i'm ever in the area!

I've used Yumi as a house sitter when she was working through a different platform, and now I'm happy to see she's available here for more dog walks and home stays. On the administrative side, Yumi is very communicative and organized: I appreciate that she sets up a call or visit in advance to go over all the pet and home details, and she send regular photos and updates during her stay. On the "pet care" side, Yumi is great! She clearly loves animals and works hard to keep them happy and healthy during her stays. My dog tends to have a lot of anxiety and goes on hunger strikes when we travel, but with Yumi she ate happily and enjoyed plenty of couch snuggles. I'll definitely book her services again for both walks and for longer in-home stays.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Buena Vista dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Buena Vista.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
