1. Joe S.
“Joe has been helpful when my schedule made me a little late, he was friendly and my pup was happy to go with him. He’s taken her on walks and I appreciate that he worked on ‘socializing’ her with the squirrels and ducks at the pond nearby. She needs it so she doesn’t chase after them automatically. Thank you!”
2. Shara C.
“Shara became an addition to our family. She was amazing with my Coco. She took great care of my fur baby for 6 months. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her myself!”

About: New to Rover? Use my code and save on your first booking with me. Hi! I’m Somkith… or Kit if it’s easier. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I’m able to step in and help you out with your furry loved one. I have Basic Puppy & Dog training via the SFSPCA. I also have taken care of senior dogs as well. I love animals. I’ve rescued 5 different animals since I was 24: 4 dogs and 1 cat. I rescued them 2 SF, 1 SD, and 2 in Garland. Unfortunately, I can’t take in anymore because I don’t have the space in my house. I was trained in Basic Puppy/ Dog Training at the SFSPCA: come/ recall, sit, stay, down, off, no, house training, crate training and socializing. I have rescued and raised dogs from puppy to senior stage and kitten to cat. I’m patient with animals and think about what they would want vs what we humans need & make it work. Let me know how I can help. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule from Monday- Friday. Weekends & Holidays are negotiable depending on everyone’s schedule but we can make it work. I am respectful of your home and space. For drop ins, my main priority is the care of your dog/ cat. I’ll provide the best care I can and make your pet as happy and comfy as possible. For dog walking, I’m aware of pet fatigue & exhaustion in heat (summertime), different personalities/ atmospheres around your dog and making sure they get the fresh air and walking that they need. For day care, I have a fenced in yard. I have many cat trees and dog beds. Your animal will be treated just like my own and get full reign of the house and backyard. I can provide treats, scratches, companionship and fun with my pets. I’m careful, patient and put your care about your animal’s needs. Lastly all my animals are current on their meds/ visits and socialized. I live within 5 minutes of a vet/ animal care.
13. Jill B.
“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”
14. Mariah S.
“Mari is great with my husky, who has a TON of energy. She communicates well, sent pictures and always takes good care of my boy!”
15. Lesa D.
“I can't recommend Lesa highly enough! She truly goes above and beyond to provide safe, loving care for our pups. Every walk is tailored to our dog's energy levels, and i always feel confident knowing they are in caring and capable hands. Lesa has a natural way with animals and treats our dogs like part of her own family. What sets her apart is her exceptional customer service - Lesa is always prompt, communicative, and flexible, even with my last minute changes. I love receiving updates and photos during walks or visits; it's clear our pups are happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, look no further than Lesa!”
16. Brandy S.
“Brandy has been walking my golden retriever, Charlie, for a few months now, and we love her so much!! She is very communicative, flexible, and cares for Charlie as if she were her own. I can’t recommend Brandy enough!”
17. Madison D.
“Maddy has always had cats and dogs around her. They all love her. She really loves to give each of them special attention and she definitely figures out their love language whether it’s through walks, swimming, brushing, toys or treats. She has the kindest personality. She recently fostered a kitten and has since officially adopted it. Both her cats are very comfortable being around dogs and cats. My 2 golden retrievers love hanging out with her cats. There isn’t anyone I’d trust more with my animals.”
18. Macaya D.
About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
19. Rachel R.
“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”
20. Makayla S.
“Makayla is a true lover of animals. She has taken care of her pet dog Bailey since she was in elementary school. She bathes her daily, walks her, spends time with her and love her. She would show your pet the most love they deserve. Your dog would be in excellent hands with Makayla. She is very responsible and honest.”
