“Good communication and sense of humor. Accommodated my dogs needs even if they didn’t fully align with the Rover plan. I booked a walk but my girl decided she didn’t want to and Leslie hung out with her in the yard and gave her cuddles and attention instead.”

“Yasmin was so incredibly great with my dog! I have a very hyper little dog and she was so patient and kind with him. She took him for long walks (even in this heatwave!) and made sure he had water after they were done. She also takes the cutest pictures that I have saved many to my phone. She even provides an update of how the walk went and what happened with her walking card which definitely going above and beyond. If you need a great dog walker I would highly recommend her because she is so amazing!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, responsibility, and genuine love I bring to pet care. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for senior pets, giving them the extra attention they need, as well as working with puppies, helping with basic training and good habits. My goal is always to provide not just care, but companionship, so pets feel happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I make sure to feed, give water, and spend time with my pet every day. I also include short play sessions or walks to keep them active. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their space, grooming, and checking their overall health. Taking care of my pet is part of my responsibilities, and I enjoy making it a regular habit. In my home, I care for pets by providing them with a safe and comfortable environment, making sure they always have fresh food and water, and spending quality time with them through play and exercise. I also keep their area clean and give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine, such as feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they might need. I always make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Cyndi was so great with our dogs. They connected with her immediately and greeted her with enthusiasm on every visit. Friendly and reliable— our dogs definitely loved Cyndi’s visits and the variety of walks she took them on. We plan to have her care for our dogs again on future trips if she’s available.”

“Michael has been a lifesaver when life is life-ing. He really built a rapport with my pups especially my rescue german who is weary of strangers. The boys look forward to their walks and are always ready for a nap when they come home. Thank you so much!”

“Brenda was awesome. We were so lucky she was available last minute and made everything so easy for us. She sent us great updates with lots of photos. Best of all, we could tell she really loved our dog and took great care of him. Highly recommend.”

“Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.”

About: Dogs are family, not just pets. A well trained dog, is a happy dog. My previous dog was a border collie so I am well versed in training energetic pups who want jobs. Clients have told me that their pup comes home better behaved than when they were dropped off! I WFH and leave the doors open to the back yard for free inside/outside access. We do walks to the parks 2 blocks from home. I look forward to spending time with your buddy! Hope to see you both soon. I have a sweet puppy I fostered, then adopted who loves to play. She stops at the street corner for me to say she can cross. She can do “down” at a distance and will stay until released even when she does not have me in view. **No aggressive or reactive dogs please** Unless it’s a puppy and we are actively potty training, dogs must be house trained. I do not use puppy pee pads in my home. I work from home so have plenty of time to interact and just be there for my girl and your pup. We love going the park and training or sniffing. My yard is fenced(4ft gate) . There is a front and back yard so they can have plenty of outside time even at home. I live 2 blocks to parks where pups can romp. If you dog likes to escape and can climb a 47 in fence, this yard may not be for you.
“Ms Victoria has been an excellent choice for my pup Peach. She connected with her immediately and my pup has loved her since. Victoria has been a life saver for me & id highly recommend to others if you need ANY service for your four legged babies 🐶”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.
“Jasmarie took great photos, was punctual, with quick communication back and forth. Such a relief to know our pup is in good hands. Would recommend and absolutely will use her help again.”

We feel very lucky to have found Leslie! Our boy Bruno loves going on walks with her :) she’s very reliable, communicative, friendly, and able to accommodate our work schedules/ dog walking needs, which sometimes change from week to week. Great all around.

For my dog, Jonathan is a dog whisperer. He has been walking my 15 plus year old chi mix dog and my dog loves him. He's also very observant of my dog's behavior which, considering my dog's age, is very appreciated. My dog and I are happy we have been able to use Jonathan's services.
Lauri has really helped me out last minute when I needed someone to walk one of my two high-energy dogs. Maggie absolutely loved walking with her and was thrilled every time she saw Lauri. In addition to having a highly reliable, punctual dog walker, we also got to take advantage of Lauri's training background and made some great progress on Maggie's overall leash manners!

I really appreciated Xiao’s patience with my pup today. I have a rescue Chihuahua mix who does not warm up easily to new people. She got him out for two walks today while I had to travel out of town for work. It really put my mind at ease knowing Murphy was in good hands.
