1. Diane G.
“I'm so glad to have found Diane. She is amazingly flexible, very responsive and communicative, and great with my senior dog Pooter. If anything seems off with him on their walks, she calls me immediately to let me know. He's not always the easiest client, but she is patient with him, makes him feel comfortable, and adapts her walks based on his moods each day.”

7. Sydney C.
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”

She was placed at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, where she demonstrated great responsibility and initiative. Her duties included organizing and managing interactive activities for children who attended weekly programs at the park. She also took on the responsibility of preparing, loading, and unloading decorations and food for events, and maintained the cleanliness of the park. She cleaned out the trash and other clean up duties. Hannia has an excellent work ethic; she is currently enrolled at San Jose State University and is eager to gain more experience. Her sweet and kind demeanor, along with her ability to connect well with children and her love for animals. She even has a dog of her ow, make her an ideal candidate for pet caregiver.”
17. Jessica P.
About: I’m very patient with all types of animals. I am great at taking instructions given by owners on how to treat and care for their pets based on their needs and personalities Currently I have open availability as I’m in between jobs at the moment. I’m looking for a part time job that will allow me to focus on my craft as a chef. I keep a watchful eye on my clients’ pets until I’ve confirmed that the space that we’re in is completely secure. I understand when pets are able to be on a looser leash.
18. Vidya V.
“I have known Vidya for almost 20 years and she's one of the kindest, most compassionate animal lovers I know. Dogs and cats are always welcome in her home, she makes it a point to help any animal in need. My own dog, who is 14 now, has spent a good part of his pampered life under her care. She knows how to connect with dogs and cats, she can anticipate their needs and ensure that they are safe and happy under her care. I would blindly entrust any pet with her, knowing that the animal would be completely safe with her.”
19. Nick C.
“Nick was very prompt in communicating on the app and arranging a meet and greet with our dog Java. We will definitely use him again for dog walking!”
20. Jessica K.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a kid. Just cats since being an adult. But I have been dog sitting to fill the void of not having the time or space to own a dog. I work an 8-5, but work remotely 2 - 3 days a week. My job is also very flexible. So, if I need to step away, I can. I will not be offering services in my own home, as my cat believes she runs it is only allowing us to exist in it because we feed her and give her chin rubs. The care I provide for your pet will depend on the care your pet wants. Is it an independent pet that just needs to be fed and wants to be left alone? Does your pet want to given pets and cuddles all day long? Let me know what your pets needs are, and I’m sure I can handle it.
