Dog Walking In Los Altos

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, detail-oriented approach and years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from playful poodle mixes to large breeds like black labs, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy or providing patient care for an older pet, I adapt to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their routine. Additionally, I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own—handling tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and managing trash day. Clients trust me not just because I care for their pets, but because I’m dependable, responsive, and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. I'm currently free majority of the time, weekdays and weekends. I do partake in tutoring services along with taking care of pets as well, but my schedule is flexible with all of those occurring. I will be a bit more busy when school starts up for me, but can still manage all responsibilites. I primarily care for pets in the comfort of their own home, as this helps them feel more relaxed and maintain their regular routines. While staying at a client’s home, I make sure to follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walk times, and play routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation to keep them happy and calm while their owners are away. In addition to caring for pets, I keep the home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and take out the trash as needed. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well looked after, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Through this experience, I became comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing daily companionship. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels cared for, relaxed, and happy while their family is away! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. My availability may vary, so please feel free to contact me for more details. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's needs and find a schedule that works for both of us! I currently provide care in my clients' homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent. I'll follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away!

“He’s everything my boy needed! We will forever be grateful for Raymond for helping us with Blue’s walks while my wife recovers from surgery. He’s very personable, attentive, and treats Blue as if he was his own. Wish there were 100 stars!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting/walking for 7 years, and I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. As cheesy as it is, animas are my world and I love being able to meet so many of your sweet babies! I am going to school four days a week and I have a part time job. I have blocked off all days I can’t be available on Rover! Open communication is super important, and lots of pics! I wanna make sure I’m respecting your space and your pet. I am always open to talking about any special accommodations for the safety of your pet.

“Amie walks my reactive dog Sunny weekly and working with her has been a wonderful experience from the beginning. She’s a very responsive communicator, she’s very good with dogs and has helped me with extra walks as my schedule requires. I greatly appreciate her communication with me about my dogs behavior - I highly recommend Amie!”

About: I’m a dog mom of two and have raised both of my dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very experienced with daily care, routines, and potty training. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, giving treats appropriately, and helping dogs stick to their normal structure. I also have experience administering medications, as one of my dogs has gone through surgery and required consistent care during recovery. In addition, I regularly care for my friend’s mini dachshund, who I’ve been watching since she was just 2 months old and continue to watch almost every month. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and maintaining routines that help them feel safe and secure. I also have experience with leash reactivity, so I understand how to handle dogs that may need a little extra awareness, patience, and space while on walks. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and stick closely to their usual routines. I’m able to plan my day around their needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping them company so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also help take care of my sister’s cat when she’s away, so I’m used to checking in, maintaining routines, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure to give them attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely. For in home pet sitting, I maintain their full daily routine, including walks, feeding schedules, and downtime. I’m attentive to behavior, cleanliness, and safety, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. As a pet owner who has used pet sitters myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I aim to provide the same level of reliability, communication, and care that I would want for my own animals.

About: There has not been a day in my that I’ve not shared it with one or more pet.This has allowed me to understand each fur baby has unique needs. I would be honored to offer special attention to your dog, cat, puppy, or kitten when you are unavailable. My schedule is currently flexible allowing me to pop by for potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, walks (long, short, quick paced or slow), administer medications throughout the day. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority, while following their routine and abiding by your house rules. I’ll give your pet the same loving attention I give my own.

About: I've been taking care of my own and others pets for 20 years. Whatever needs or preferences your pet has, I can make it work. I'm currently a live in caregiver for my grandma. I'm also a student taking online classes from home, so I'm here most of the time. I have a dog Rigby and cat Shadow that I love very much. Pets add so much joy to my life, so I'm looking for opportunities to help other families. I have a high fence backyard with lots of grass and room to run. My dog Rigby loves other dogs and my cat Shadow is friendly as well. If your dog needs to be crated, I can accommodate that too.

“Kathryn was wonderful with our dog! She really went the extra mile and was great at communicating.”

“Very reliable!”

About: Experience dog owner who specializes in large breeds. I would love to be your go to when life gets busy. Making sure you know your pets will be taken care of and safe is my number one priority. I have two large dogs at home, my senior German is on all kinds of pain management meds so I'm used to taking care of animals with more needs. I can also wrangle in our 4 year old German husky mix. I love dogs of all sizes and would love to spoil them on a walk. I'm super observant, my senior is not super friendly so I'm always making sure she's safe when she's with me on walks. I am currently not working so my schedule is open, I just ask if you need to cancel give me as much notice as you can! I understand boundaries and will treat your pet and home with the same respect. Just let me know what you need from me to be happy moving forward!

“Lindsay is great! Our rescue, Sammy, can be quite a handful but Lindsay jumped right in. She gave us frequent updates and photos. Sammy seemed to warm up quickly with her and enjoy his walks! ”

My commitment is to the needs of the owner so you can relax knowing your pet is in very a very loving, kind, and attentive home. I'm happy to send pictures throughout the stay, video chat with your pet, fun SnapChat pics, or call for a check-in anytime. Casual strolls and short walks, hiking, playing, or just some serious nap time- I will be respectful to requests. I look forward to a meet and greet to make sure we are the right fit, open to Zoom meet and greets too! Be sure to ask about my personalized artwork of your pet and more. Personalizing merchandise from jewelry, pillows, mugs, dog tags and leashes, clothing, and so much more. Also, available to produce invitations, banners, and everything needed for an event! My schedule is quite accommodating and flexible and tending to your fur baby's needs is the priority. I mostly work from home so there is flexibility. I have a cozy beach house with a huge backyard. Just a couple blocks from the beach, the walks are beautiful and the street is beautifully tree-lined. For those puppers that have incontinence issues, I have a wonderful set up of a large plastic dog play pen which can be lined with pee pee pads, see my profile pics. You supply the pee pads- largest size when possible. Most of the dogs love the play pen- it has a doggy door, and so does the house.

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs, having grown up with them and currently owning one myself. My experience spans a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I genuinely love all dogs and understand the unique needs of each one, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I offer dog sitting services on a flexible schedule around my full-time job. I'm pretty flexible. I ensure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and playtime, and I’m happy to adjust my availability based on your pet's needs.

I provide regular updates, so you’re always informed about how your pet is doing, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions you may have to ensure their happiness and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every dog like family.

About: Ever since I was young, I have loved animals. However, dogs have something special about them. They really are man’s best friend. I’ve raised my own dog, Bailey, since he was a puppy and until he was 12. I’ve given him baths, walks, and lots of attention and love. I’ve also dog sat for people before and have been in charge of taking dogs for walks and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I also have experience taking care of puppies as young as 2 years old. I am pretty free most days. This allows me to have plenty of time to devote to any dog care taking duties that come my way. I love getting outside and will happily take a dog on neighborhood walks with lots of shade. I love playing with dogs while keeping relaxation and rest time in mind.
