About: Hi! My name is Yanira, and I’m a caring, responsible, and loving pet caregiver with a true passion for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love. I am committed to creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel happy and secure while you are away. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I am dependable, attentive to instructions, and dedicated to giving each pet personalized care based on their needs and personality. Your dog’s well-being, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐾💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, organized, and committed to giving each pet the care and love they deserve. A typical day with pets would include feeding them on schedule, going for walks, playtime, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also enjoy keeping pets active and happy with fun activities, regular potty breaks, and quiet time to relax. I always pay close attention to their needs and routines to make sure they are well cared for and loved.
About: I’ve owned two dogs since they were puppies who now 12 and 11. The older one is still very sort and incredibly clever. The younger I’m pretty sure is just a cat pretending to be a dog. I also have experience watching larger dogs that belonged to family members as well. I have also house sat cats and kittens for extended period of time. Currently, I work full time. I let my dogs out in the morning and they guard the house while I’m away. Once I get home, they get their cuddles and walks (usually about a mile). On the weekends we try to go to our relatives to let them play in the backyard together. I don’t tend to have others’ pets in my home because my dogs do not like to share their space. However, when I’m at others’ homes, I follow instructions that are left behind to the T. I always reach out if I need clarification or have any questions.
About: For most of my High School education I had watched The Dog Whisperer religiously, which helped to ingrain my love for animals especially towards canines. I slowly began to pursue fields in which I could help surround myself with animals and careers pertaining to animals. I started after high school and became a volunteer at the San Jose Animal Care Services located on Monterey Rd. in San José. I was working on the side while going to school as I volunteered to help compensate the volunteer hours. As a designated dog walker I was introduced to small toy dogs down to 4 pounds up to larger breeds ranging upwards of 100 pounds. I am located in a single-family residence in a suburban enclave in Evergreen. We have a fenced backyard with lots of space to stretch out and enjoy the outdoors. The local elementary school is a 5-minute walk away, featuring its own walking trail and a fenced grass area. Animal care is my second nature. I can understand body signs and cues when it comes to how an animal is feeling and the best way to approach them. I've held up against big dogs all the way down to the little ones. Each animal is unique. The most important thing is love and respect.
About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! My neighbors and clients have relied on me to watch their fur babies (and homes) as if they were my own! And I have loved every minute! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to fill! I also do not travel much so holidays I am around ! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your pup company! I can also crate your pup if needed! Can’t wait to meet your babies! Bring on the barn animals too! Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Bunnies, house birds of all sizes!
About: I have pet training experience. Im training my own dog. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience, supporting early puppy training, and helping pets build good habits through positive, consistent routine. I treat every pet like family with genuine love. I am working from home. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day and play time. My work schedule is flexible and I live near a park to take your dog for a nice walk. I also have longlines so your dog would have the freedom to explore at the park with control and safety. Pets staying with me enjoy a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of fresh air. My own playful, well‑mannered dog makes a great built‑in buddy for social dogs who enjoy company. I always supervise play to make sure everyone feels safe and has a positive experience. Inside the home, pets have a calm, clean space to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, and exercise routines closely so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog needs active playtime, quiet cuddles, or a mix of both, I adjust my care to match their personality and comfort level.
About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating
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.
“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: It’s great to provide dog and cat sitting with people who have trust in me! I reciprocate on the pets’ energies, from docile to energetic. I have two dogs of my own that receive a lot of attention and care. I currently have summer availability to provide all-day attentive care, meaning that I can offer specific medical care if needed, frequent walks or dog park visits, and lots of cuddles! Based on your needs, I do well with following the consistent routines, as well as offering daily photo and written updates for assurance of the pet’s well-being.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle for years! Friends, family, and neighbors call me when they need someone reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to hang out with their pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnights, or keeping up with detailed routines, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and emotional awareness I bring. As an empath, I don’t just “watch” pets, I learn their personalities. Are they high-energy zoomie champions? Velcro dogs? Secret snack negotiators? I adjust my care style to fit *them* so they stay happy and stress-free. I have experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and patience (potty training, leash manners, crate routines), as well as senior dogs who deserve a slower pace, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m also very comfortable with anxious or shy pets and use calm, positive approaches to build trust at their speed. My goal is simple: happy pets, lots of tail wags, and owners who can relax knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Plus, you’ll always get photo updates because I know being away is the hardest part :) My schedule is thoughtfully balanced between two of my personal businesses—pet care and swim instruction. I’m a professional swim instructor during parts of the day, which means I may be in the water or teaching lessons for a few hours at a time, depending on the day of the week. Because of this, I build my pet care schedule very intentionally to make sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, exercise, and quality time. Pet care isn’t just something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my work and something I genuinely care about. Balancing both businesses allows me to stay active, responsible, and fully present in the care I provide. My care style really comes down to one thing: keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine, just with me stepping in as their temporary human. In a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, play routines, and any “house rules” your pet knows (or thinks they can bend). I keep things clean, calm, and secure so your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. If pets are staying in my home, they get a cozy, supervised environment with lots of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their energy level. I make sure introductions, rest spaces, and routines are handled thoughtfully so everyone feels comfortable. I'll most likely end up snuggling your pet too! :)
“Son was great! His response time is awesome, was available for a meet and greet last minute. Sent amazing pictures and videos! Gave lots of updates. Will definitely use Son again for future help!”

About: Hi! I'm Bailey, and I've always loved being around dogs. I know a lot about dogs and their breeds, so I will make sure each walk is specfic to their personality, energy level, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new smells, or just getting outside for some fresh air, I'll make sure they have a fun and safe time! I also worked at a dog grooming salon as a receptionist, where I spent my days around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I helped make sure pets felt comfortable and welcomed while communicating with owners about their pets' needs. This experience taught me how important patience, attention to detail, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. As someone who has been involved in competitive swimming and coaching, I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, which makes dog walking a perfect fit for me. I love taking dogs on longer walks in areas they're familiar with and comfortable in while making sure they're getting plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, confident, and happy while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!

Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their beloved pets because they know I treat every animal like family.

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!

Elizabeth was absolutely lovely! We had a wonderful meet and greet, Carly took to her immediately and she doesn't do that with everyone. Elizabeth checked in and sent photos. When I got home it was clear that she had taken wonderful care of my pup. I will absolutely have her again.

Always a pleasure working with Jae! My dog got into something he shouldn’t have the night before a walk so I decided to stay home the next day to monitor symptoms. At our request, Jae kindly canceled our scheduled walk last minute. I greatly appreciate the flexibility!

I highly recommend Thy as a dog walker. She is very professional and is an excellent communicator as well. She pays attention to details and asks questions pertaining to caring for my dog and I can tell that she cares about how well she does her job. Best of all, she shows lots of love to Tobi. We’re lucky to have her!!
