“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”

About: While most of my pet care comes from three years as a cat owner, I naturally connect with dogs. From friendly neighborhood greetings to playtime energy, I bring patience, warmth, and dependable care for every furry friend. I volunteer part-time a few days a week, but I always make time for pets! I’m flexible, reliable, and ready to give your furry friends the love and care they need. When caring for pets, safety and comfort come first. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and keep a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family.

“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”

About: I am an animal lover at heart who always puts animals first because they are not just pets, they’re family! Growing up, I always had multiple pets at a time, and I continue to keep a full house today. My firsthand experience spans dogs, cats, fish, birds, and bunnies of all shapes and sizes. Because I currently own both small and large animals, I am highly comfortable and confident handling pets of any size. When it comes to walking your dogs, my goal is to give them the absolute best time! I tailor every walk to their energy level. Whether they prefer an energetic run, a brisk stroll to explore new smells, or a gentle pace, I make sure their outdoor time is safe, engaging, and packed with love. Over a lifetime of pet ownership, I have cared for several animals with chronic health issues. This has made me very comfortable managing, handling, and safely administering medications to pets who need them. Additionally, my extensive history with animals means I am patient and well-equipped to support senior dogs, helping them get around, stay comfortable, and manage their daily routines. I look forward to giving your family members the dedicated, specialized care they deserve! My schedule is completely open for walks and pet sitting! Since I go to school online, I have plenty of flexibility to cater to different routines and time schedules throughout the week. I absolutely love early morning requests and I’m highly flexible on weekends and holidays, so I can be there whenever your pets need me most. Whether walking or sitting dogs and cats, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, happy environment. For walks, I always keep pets on secure leashes and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During home visits or sitting, I make sure cats and dogs receive plenty of individual attention, play, proper feeding, and medication if needed, while strictly following all of your specific household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with endless patience, love, and safety as my top priorities.

“Rachel was great with my high energy dog on our meet and greet and even took her for a quick practice walk. The day of the walk was very hot and she took care to keep her in the shade but still get her outside and engage with her. She’s also very communicative and responsive.”

About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.

“Marley was fantastic!! She was punctual, flexible, and very capable of taking care of my large breed dog! I would absolutely work with her again”

“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.”

About: Growing up, I used to always come home with stray dogs and insisted we must keep them since they didn’t have a home. I have loved cats and dogs all my life, I would volunteer myself to walk all the animals in my family when I’d go over. My experience comes from having my own, having them in our family and volunteering to watching them while the grown ups go out and have fun. I love our furry friends! I’ve cared for a dwarf bunny, a dog and cats recently and I enjoyed getting to know them and their unique behaviors. Seeing how much I enjoyed it made me realize I could do this on a daily basis given how much free time I have. About 4 years ago I started feeding stray cats around my old neighborhood, the colony was huge but I felt the need to help them. The more I fed them and gained their trust the more I felt the need to help. I found a woman on IG and asked her if she could help me fix them all and find them homes. She was able to trap and fix them, there was around 96 cats total & we were able to successfully rehome 30 of them! One of them owned me and I couldn’t see him go so I kept Spot. I love cats and dogs and find them to be what every human needs in their life. I enjoy being home and I love going on walks as a form of self care. Pet care fits perfectly in my weekly routine because my main focus is to finish school at this time. I wouldn’t mind the company! I attend to their needs as I come across them and follow their own schedules on a timely manner. I ensure that I provide them with clean water and food daily while also giving them the proper exercise and attention on the basis of their schedule. Please note I only crate them when requested by owner and if it’s provided. I’m currently studying and doing Rover full time, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pet. I’m available for services every day of the week. Looking forward to providing a comfortable and loving experience for your furry friend! When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. I stay home to keep your fur baby company throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe and secure while you're away. I’m happy to follow their specific routines, from feeding and playtime to rest, so they have the consistency they’re used to. Crating is available if and when it suits your pet’s comfort and needs, and I make every effort to create a warm, welcoming environment where they can feel completely at ease. Please feel free to share any special instructions or preferences—I’m here to provide the best care for your furry friend!

About: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds. I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs & going to school so it is my full-time job as of right now. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!

About: I have experience on Trusted Housesitters with five star reviews (included in photos). I've cared for pets of my family, friends, and clients, including elderly dogs, active large breeds, and those requiring daily medication. I enjoy walking active dogs and giving them lots of attention. I currently provide dog walking and drop-in visits in Santa Clara County within approximately a 15-mile radius of San Jose (95110). I offer morning and afternoon walks, runs, and drop-in visits with flexible scheduling based on your pet’s needs. I also provide overnight pet sitting services in both Santa Clara County and Marin County. As an active pet caregiver, I enjoy helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and engaged through walks, runs, and personalized care. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets feel comfortable and families have peace of mind while away. I always take safety precautions to ensure there is no risk of your pet getting hurt or escaping. These precautions are tailored to your pet's personality and the owner's instructions.
