Dog Walking in Downtown, San Jose, CA

“Jacob has made mine and my fur baby Luna’s life much easier. Luna is already seemingly more happy when I get home from work which eases my mom guilt. I’m excited to see how she adjusts more to my new work schedule along with her walks with Jacob!”

“Michael helped us with our two dogs while on vacation. He was the best pet care professional we have ever used. He was caring and attentive and our dogs loved him. He was also extremely responsive and flexible with our schedule. I would have him watch our dogs any time.”

“Sam has been amazing with my German shepherd husky mix and my little Havanese. I was initially worried as my dogs had never had anyone else care for them other than myself, but my dogs both loved her. She has a calm demeanor that gives the dogs space for getting to know her. Highly recommend her!”

“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: Hi, I’m Joe. I’m a remote wellness educator and retreat facilitator who splits time between Northern California and Costa Rica. Because I work remotely most of the day, pets in my care receive steady companionship, consistent routines, and a calm, reliable presence. I work remotely and maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide steady companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care integrates naturally into my daily routine, including morning walks, feeding, and check-ins, with additional walks, play, and attention in the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and receive consistent care, structure, and presence. Safety, consistency, and respect for each pet’s routine are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel secure and comfortable. I’m attentive to behavior, environment, and safety during walks and always keep dogs leashed unless otherwise instructed.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life since a baby. I love animals more than anything and will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m a stay/work from home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I can care for your pet while you’re at work or not at home. I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day. I live in a fairly large townhouse with a small back porch so there is enough room for a dog or cat to stretch out and relax

“Joy was very nice, and my dog Smokey seems to like her as well!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family over the years. From walking energetic puppies to keeping senior pets comfortable, I treat every pet like my own. I am patient, responsible, and always happy to provide updates with photos and messages so you feel connected. When going out, I bring snacks and a portable water bottle for dogs to keep them energized and hydrated. I also love taking dogs to the park for walks and playing with toys to make sure they stay happy and healthy. In addition, I have grown up with both cats and dogs at home, which has given me a lifelong love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs! 🐈🐶💓 I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. This means I can give your pets consistent attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day! I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and rest. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and comfort, and I can crate dogs if necessary. I always keep water and snacks ready, and I update owners with photos and messages so they feel reassured while away.

“I was so happy to have connected with Ana on short notice - she even came by for a meet & greet with my dog, Rocky, the evening before I needed her. She was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and flexible to his needs. She was also professional and respectful (with covid precautions). Thanks, Ana!”

About: I have several years of real-life pet care experience. I’ve cared for one dog consistently for the past 5 years and have been caring for a second dog for the last 2 years. This includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing a safe, loving environment. Having managed two dogs with different needs, I’m attentive, patient, and reliable when it comes to pet care. I have a very flexible, open schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day. This flexibility lets me provide consistent supervision, walks, playtime, and attentive care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, positive environment in my pet care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide constant supervision, and maintain a clean, secure space. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“Eleni is a vibe and Samoa really enjoyed his walks. I asked to prioritize a sniff walk and he came back and knocked right out! Highly recommend.”

About: I am a traditional over communicator. Aside from loving pets and making sure they feel loves and cared for I also like their parents to feel informed as must as they want to. I like to provide an absolute awesome experience for both pets and owners alike. I firmly believe the best way forward is to understand how everyone likes to communicate. Imagine having peace of mind when traveling or just going to work. You can also receive photos and updates as needed. I will take care of your furry friends in way that they will love. I am currently available 4 days a week. For three days I do have to take care of some errands but I can work around that schedule. I will always try to be available over the weekends and will adjust for extended stays. I do care the same way owners will care about them. I diligently follow instructions and continue to educate myself on best ways for care. This includes reading but also nurturing pets that I have met in my pet sitting journey.

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog owner all my life. Now I have a 5 year old female miniature Goldendoodle named Lucy. She is my third dog, and well trained. Now I also have a little munchkin boy cat. He’s great with dogs too. I work from home, but like outdoor activities. Whether you need to tire your pooch out or just want them to be napping quietly, you got it! My condo is secured with security cameras and app controlled gates. I live on the top floor, in a corner unit with amazing views and sunshine and air flow. I usually just leave all drapes up windows open.

About: Hi! I’m excited to take care of your pet and put your mind at ease when you are away. My past pet experience includes taking care of our family dog, a puggle, for many years.
