“Yumei has been walking Loki while I’m out of state for work m and it’s been wonderful from the very first day. My mom says Loki gets so excited to go with her like he’s known her forever. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys walking him too. They just seem happy together every time. Highly recommend everyone to book with Yumei if you want a great experience and safety one for your pups.”


“Camille took great care of our sweet hippo while we were out of town for a few days. We really appreciated how accommodating she was when it came to arranging a meet-and-greet prior to our scheduled care. We will definitely be booking her for the future :-)”

About: I have cared for pets since childhood, bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Cats & Medication: Mom to 2 cats and known among friends as a "cat whisperer." Skilled in reading feline cues and administering medication gently and reliably. Dogs of All Sizes: Extensive experience raising and handling everything from energetic Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranians to strong breeds like Dobermans. Safety First: Dependable, attentive care with consistent photo updates so you always have peace of mind while away. I have a flexible full time job where I work occasionally in Santa Clara or from home in downtown San Jose. I have access to a car. I can provide regular updates via photo and text and make sure I have a clear understanding of how best to take care of your furry loved ones.
“Zola is awesome! Super communicative and the dogs seem to love her. She was super flexible in adding an extra day for walks at the last minute. So glad that she’ll be walking my dogs regularly.”

“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.”

“Shawna is so great!! Excellent at communicating. Goose had such an amazing time on their walks this weekend. We didn’t have to worry about Goose while we were away because we knew he was in excellent hands. Thank you, Shawna!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. From taking care of family pets, aiding in neighboring furry friends needs and fostering those looking for homes I have grown quite familiar with what it takes to deliver excellent pet care. I’m currently working part time, without a set schedule. I would be completely available on my days off and in my free time before and after work. I love playing with animals and giving them lots of love. Your pet would never feel alone in my care and I will be sure to give them my 100% attention and priority when in their presence.
“Amazing experience with Sam!! Spiky had a blast with her, I was so happy to see Spike come back after great exercise and play time, just what he needed, I could tell how happy he was, would highly recommend!!”


About: I am blessed to have been able to grow up with dogs. They are my world. From puppy care to senior care, I can promise you the best for your loved ones. I work part-time and would love to get the opportunity to take care of your loved ones. Due to the nature of my job, from weekdays to weekends my availability is very open. I am so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!! With years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and training, I understand that pets need proper love and care to thrive. I prioritize creating a safe environment that keeps your babies stress-free. I am very communicative and will adhere to their usual routines while taking lots of pictures so you are confident in my care for them!
“Katie was great to work with! She was punctual, had great communication and sent us pictures of our dogs after their walks. They look so happy with her! I would definitely recommend Katie for your rover needs! Thanks Katie!”

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!
“Ana has been very helpful in taking Tobi out for long walks and has been very patient with him and even willing to help him correct some behaviors and as well as helpibg him get more accustomed to other dogs, as he did not get much socialization during COVID. She is also flexible with scheduling! Thank you Ana!”

About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.
About: I truly love animals. I am that person that will pull over on a busy road or highway to save an animal or bring a lost animal home until I find the parents. Your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!
About: I’ve cared for rescue dogs for more than 15 years, and I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior—and I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to giving each dog the care, structure, and affection they need to feel relaxed and happy during their stay. I have open availability and spend most of the day at home, so dogs are rarely left alone. Caring for my 3-month-old baby keeps me on a home-based routine, which means your pup will always have supervision, company, and plenty of time for walks, play, and relaxation in a calm, safe environment. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. My friendly dogs love having visitors, and we always do slow, calm introductions. We follow each owner’s routines closely and can crate your dog if needed. I make sure every pup feels safe, supervised, and comfortable—just like part of the family

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.

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.

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.

Wenran was amazing with my dog! She was super patient and attentive, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with him. I especially loved that she actually interacted with him and communicated with him throughout the stay, rather than just taking care of the basics. She was very caring and thoughtful, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely book with Wenran again!

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!
Nicole was great! She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my dog. She was flexible when an issue came up and made sure everything was handled. I really appreciated the updates and attention she gave him. Would definitely book with her again.

Austin was great with my dog Kreed. He kept me updated, sent photos from the walks, and made sure Kreed got some water after. He was easy to communicate with and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable, especially with how hot it’s been lately. Kreed seemed to really like him, and everything went smoothly. I’d definitely book with Austin again. Thanks!!!

Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!
