About: Hi! Thanks so much for checking out my profile, I’m so excited to meet you and your pup! I’ve had my dog since 2017, so I have years of experience taking care of dogs every day! I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, and handling different energy levels. I’m very patient and love giving dogs lots of attention, while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable with me 🐶💖 My schedule is pretty flexible since I only work part-time a couple days a week! On the days I’m not working, I’m available all day. On days I do work, I’m usually still available in the mornings and afternoons. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule and be there when you need me!! 😊🌸 I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I follow any instructions you leave, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they’re happy the whole time. I’m very responsible and will treat your pet like my own, so you can feel completely comfortable leaving them with me! 🐾✨
“Jenna was an amazing dog walker for my dog, Oscar. She was incredibly gentle, welcoming, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Oscar absolutely had a blast on his walks with her and always came back happy and relaxed. I’d highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pup!”
“Justin was great with my Belgian Malinois, Peanut. He arrived on time, was very patient, and listened carefully to all instructions. I appreciated how attentive and calm he was during the walk. Peanut seemed comfortable with him right away. Would definitely book again! In fact, I'm booking him again right now.”
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
“Charlene is an awesome dog sitter!!! She attentive and loving. She took the time to meet with Riel and I before dog sitting Riel, and asked a lot of questions to try to understand my dog. Riel loves her. Seeing the pictures of Riel while I was on a trip gives me a peace of mind! Thank you Charlene!”

“Brian came in to do a meet and greet with Kiara, and immediately bonded with her. He took her for a long walk. After which our dog returned feeling content, happy and fully tired. Definitely recommend Brian for his responsiveness and good care.”
“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”
“We recently started using Ellie as our new dog walker, and she has already been absolutely fantastic. She made the transition completely seamless and stress-free, proving herself to be incredibly reliable from day one. Our dog took to her instantly, and we love the great communication and updates she provides during her visits. We are so happy we found Ellie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I would be happy to take care of your pet. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids and we always had animals around. We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of. I know going away can be hard not only for the pet but for the owner as well and I will always strive to make sure both are reassured and comfortable. Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.
About: I offer extensive pet care experience, specializing in puppy training and an active lifestyle to keep your pets engaged, ensuring they receive plenty of love and attention. I work part-time, giving me flexibility for pet care. My active lifestyle keeps me busy, ensuring your pets receive the exercise and attention they need. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space, toys, and supervision while receiving personalized care and attention.
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”
About: Independently managed the care of pets for family and friends for 11 years, including feeding schedules, walks, and grooming routines. Willing to talk more about the care of your fur baby, if there are any concerns. I care for two birds (a Sun Conure and a Green-Cheek Conure) and two dogs (a Chocolate Lab and a Shih Tzu), which means I start my day early to handle their needs. This includes changing bedding, providing scheduled meals, grooming, and engaging them in regular playtime. Whether caring for pets in my own home or a client’s, I prioritize consistency, safety, and individual attention. In my home, I create a structured, pet-friendly environment, while in clients’ homes, I stick closely to their routines and preferences. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well-cared for in any setting.
About: Hello my name is Robert I’ve been taking care of my own pets my whole life (German shepherd and chihuahua). As I got older I started taking care of more family and friends pets as well. I’m a full time college student but my classes are earlier in the day so I’m available most days in the week after 4 pm. I live right next to San Jose state which is a dog friendly campus. I also have experience taking care of dog in their owners homes as well!
“I appreciate Sophia (preferred name Andy) so much! He is fantastic at handling my high energy and timid puppy. He is a competent dog walker and I know my pup is in good hands. I also appreciate his flexibility when it comes to scheduling.”

So thankful to have found Athena on such short notice! She was easy to communicate with and I loved the pictures she provided. Athena was super attentive and even filled up my dogs water bowls and brought in our packages when she arrived. Would definitely recommend her!
Justin was great with my Belgian Malinois, Peanut. He arrived on time, was very patient, and listened carefully to all instructions. I appreciated how attentive and calm he was during the walk. Peanut seemed comfortable with him right away. Would definitely book again! In fact, I'm booking him again right now.
Thank you for taking Waffle for walks. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Waffle was in such kind, reliable hands. You were always punctual, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Waffle was happy, safe, and well exercised on every walk. Waffle always came back excited and content, which says everything. We truly appreciate your professionalism and warmth, and we would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you.
We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two senior dogs. Finding someone you truly trust with senior dogs isn’t easy, and she exceeded our expectations. She spent real quality time with them, was incredibly attentive, and made sure one of them received their medication properly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and responsible hands. We would absolutely recommend Katherine and will definitely continue using her services in the future. Thanks!
I had an unexpected bereavement emergency and was unable to meet Kenneth in person, however he accommodated perfectly to my situation. My dog Tré is usually nervous when meeting new people and Kenneth attended to all of his need to make him comfortable. He displayed great communication and was overall the perfect choice. Highly recommend!
Su was right on time and communicated her arrival promptly. She allowed Oscar to get comfortable with her before taking him out for the walk. While that was happening, she also asked questions about Oscar’s demeanor and habits to get to know him better - which we appreciate. Oscar seemed content when he got back from the walk.
Ray was awesome! This was our first time using Rover for dog walking and he handled our 80 lb dog so easily. Our dog liked his friendly nature as soon as she met him and he made sure to keep her moving during the walk. He also handled her very well when she tried to chase a squirrel at the park. Thank your Ray for being so reliable and friendly with our dog and family.
Isabella did a fantastic job walking our golden retriever! She was punctual, gentle, and clearly loves dogs. Our pup absolutely adored her and came back happy and relaxed after every walk. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker!
