This is the second time I've entrusted Sam with my dog Goose. Sam is uber reliable and I appreciate how quick and easy it is to communicate with her and the love she gives to my dog, beyond walking him--sits with him, makes sure he is calm, etc. Leaving the dog alone is stressful for me and the dog but Sam takes some of the stress out of it (for both of us!)

About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.

Devin was amazing with our girls. One of them is afraid of everything. She will go up to a stranger and back away when they try to pet her. She immediately took to Devin. She even got on her back for a tummy rub. Devin was extremely punctual. We will definitely use her for all future needs. Thanks, Devin!

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

About: Are you looking for someone who will take care of your pet with the same love and compassion as you do? Look no further! Hi! I’m Morgan, an ex-vet tech with nearly 10 years of experience with animals in a professional setting. While my career has taken me away from the animal industry, my love for animals has never changed. My experience as a vet tech has given me experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals, as well as those pets with special needs. I have a dog of my own, so I know personally how important a great caretaker for them is. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully the opportunity to care for your sweet pets! As my job is hybrid, I can work around pet care needs. I am a big planner, so I will ensure that your pet gets the walks and care they need when they need it. I am happy to come to your home and provide the care necessary. Walks, going to the park, or some relaxing time together in your home. Whatever is needed, I’m excited to spend the time with them.

When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

About: My family has had dogs my entire childhood, so I’ve had the experience of taking care of up to 3 large dogs at a time. I’ve learned how to feed, brush, bathe, and play with dogs my whole life. I also have prior experience doing drop-ins for other people’s dogs; feeding, watering, and playing with them twice a day. I believe it’s vital for pets to be physically and mentally stimulated every day, and I’m honored to be the person that can do that for them! I’m currently a student at SJSU looking for a summer job. I do not have a car, but I’m happy to take public transportation within reason to watch your pets! I’m mostly available on weekday mornings and afternoons. In terms of safety and security, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. Whatever you need me to do to make you more comfortable with me taking care of your pets in your home/yard I can do! In terms of dog-walking, I can take whatever route you prefer, and/or stay in your own neighborhood for your comfortability.

About: I’ve helped take care of dogs for most of my childhood. Whether it was my family’s, family friend’s, or my own pets, I’ve made sure that they were treated with love and care. I’m currently working part time as a ballet instructor. Though I will make sure to find the most convenient times that work best for both parties. As of now, my place might not be the best place for pets to come back to since I live in an apartment complex, but it does have a whole pet area to play in, plus I will make sure they get many pets and attention.

About: I have experience taking care of pets from hamsters to birds to cats and dogs. I know how to adapt to different personalities and requirements based on each pet. I have also taught my cat how to give a high-five and that was fun so I am open to continuing training for pets too. I currently don’t have a full time job so my availability is very flexible. I am also starting on my own exercise journey so being able to get active and meet my daily step goals alongside a furry friend sounds like a cool way to combine interests. In my own home I care for my cat by having an airtag on her and providing supervised patio time. When I take my cat on walks, I use a leash to keep her safe. For taking care of your pet, I will continue to keep an eye on them during play and make sure they dont get into any trouble by eating things they aren’t supposed too. I am good at following directions if your oet has specific instructions for their safety.

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. Grew up with dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and attention, or a senior pet who benefits from a slower pace and gentle care. Currently, I have a pet tabby cat named Kobe for the last 3.5 years. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I understand certain details of each personality as long as it's communicated. Either way, I can adapt. A Few Extras: If any of these apply, I can support. Experience administering oral medications Comfortable with multiple pets Flexible schedule Secure fenced yard Daily photo and video updates Comfortable with special diets and feeding schedules Pet care is a part-time opportunity that fits well into my weekly routine and allows me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of reliable and attentive care. My schedule is especially flexible during the summer, with good availability on Wednesdays and most weekends. I enjoy building connections with pets and providing them with companionship, comfort, and consistent care while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner's instructions carefully to maintain their pet's routine and comfort. Whether in my home or a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and positive interactions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

Zhi W. has been an incredible dog walker for our rescue dog, Pinky. From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know Pinky and met her exactly where she was, never rushing the process. As a large rescue dog, Pinky needed a lot of patience, love, and understanding, and Zhi gave her all of that and more. Zhi has always been consistent, dependable, and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated during every walk, shared how Pinky was doing, and made us feel confident that she was in the best hands. It’s clear that she truly loves dogs and understands that every dog has unique needs. Thanks to her calm, compassionate approach, Pinky grew more comfortable and confident over time. We always felt completely at ease knowing Pinky was safe, happy, and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Zhi again and absolutely plan to schedule walks with her in the future. We highly recommend Zhi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, patient, reliable, and caring dog walker!

Jamie was wonderful to work with! She took the time to calmly listen as I shared all the details about my dog’s daily routine, arthritis, likes, and needs. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. She also showed me her home and backyard, which made me feel very comfortable and confident that my dog would be in a safe, loving environment. We had a great 30-minute walk together, and Jamie was so gentle and kind with my dog. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to get to know each pet. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a compassionate pet caregiver. In fact, after our meet-and-greet walk, I felt so comfortable that I’ve already booked her to dog sit for my dog for 10 days in July. Thank you, Jamie!

Stephania has been doing check ins for my Dachshund puppy twice a day 3x a week for a few weeks now, and it is no easy task! At our first initial meeting, Stephania asked very detailed questions about her care, training, schedule, behavior, vet information, and also my expectations on what a day to day visit would look like. Her diligence reassured me that she is detailed oriented and really cares about providing the best care possible. She is very easy to contact, responds quickly, and openly communicates. My work schedule is very random, but Stephania goes above and beyond to work around it. Stephania is also very respectful of my home, and leaves it exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. I also have cats in my home that she is not responsible for caring for, but will still show them love and attention anyways. Poppy and I appreciate everything she does, and I am confident in rebooking her again!

Christina was absolutely wonderful with Puzzle! This was their first walk together, and she handled everything with so much grace and patience. I ran into some issues with my door lock which delayed the start of her visit, but Christina was incredibly understanding and communicative throughout the entire process. She even worked with the leasing office to ensure she can get a hold of me. What really stood out were the amazing photos and videos she sent. Being away at work can be stressful, but seeing those updates made me feel so comforted. It was clear that Puzzle was having a great time and was in excellent hands. I’m more than happy with the care she provided and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, patient, and detail-oriented sitter for their pups!
