Great communication and was great with my puppy. Took him out and gave him his food and made sure he was comfortable along the way! Would definitely have Cynthia walk my dog again in the future.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.

About: From childhood to present, I’ve had dogs at home, as well as living near a dog park at my local elementary school, so being near puppies and bigger, older dogs alike is nothing new. I always get excited to meet new dogs, as I’m able to adapt my communication style to theirs to allow all to feel comfortable. Whether you’ve got a small, large, young, or older dog, I would be happy to ensure they continue to thrive in my care! I’m currently working part time in Palo Alto, so I have a lot of flexibility on week days, but would be happy to communicate to accommodate you into my schedule when possible. My home has always belonged to my pets, and I’m lucky they let me stick around! My goal is to make sure you breathe easily knowing your pet is safe and happy while I’m taking care of them, and I look forward to meeting you both!

About: What sets me apart as a pet caretaker is the genuine attention and patience I give every pet I care for. I have hands-on experience caring for dachshunds, and much bigger dogs, including both a senior dog and a younger dog, so I understand that every pet has different needs depending on their age and personality. I am a student at UC Santa Cruz, but will be home for the summer working a part time job, ready whenever to take care of your pet. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I have experience administering medication carefully and following specific care instructions to make sure each pet stays healthy and comfortable. I’m also familiar with crate training and maintaining consistent routines that help pets feel safe and reduce stress. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, needs, and comfort level so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for in my care.

About: I've spent 13 years raising two rescues, including my six-breed mutt Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience — she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I'm currently working project-based contract work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm a copywriter, so I'll see your requests for care ASAP! I'm available M-T, F 9-12. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, never leave dogs unattended outside, and send photo updates so you know they're safe and happy. In my home, dogs are treated like family: supervised at all times, given a calm space to decompress, and introduced slowly to my own two rescues only if they're a good fit. Safety, comfort, and clear communication come first, always.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 15 years old- it's how I paid my way through college as a D1 athlete, and it's a passion I've never put down. Now nearly 30, I bring 15 years of real, hands on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I'm a dog mom to a rescue German Shepherd who came to me anxious, fearful, and people-reactive. I know what it takes to build trust with a shy or scared dog: patience, consistency, and zero pressure. I also have experience handling strong pullers and leash-reactive dogs safely. My family has rescued and fostered animals my whole life, including dogs at end of life requiring medications, diapers, and mobility assistance. I've housebroken dogs, bottle-fed kittens, and volunteered at an animal shelter in graduate school working with dogs of all sizes. I also worked professionally with a pet sitting company in NJ serving both cats and dogs. I'm an athlete and personal trainer with an active lifestyle. Your dog will actually get tired. My sister is a veterinarian and is always a call away for guidance or emergencies. Your pet is in experienced, loving hands. I look forward to meeting them :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work remotely three days a week (MWF) and am free on weekends, so I'm home, available, and never rushing. No leaving pets alone for long stretches. I treat every home like my own. I check food and water, clean up any accidents, and make sure all doors, gates, and pet barriers are secured before I leave. I send updates and photos so you always know how the visit went. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are the priority.

Itchel was an amazing dog walker! Very kind, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Our dog, Cooper, can be quite picky and slow to warm up to new people, but she quickly found a way to connect with him, and he truly enjoyed getting to know her. She was responsible, always on time, and provided great communication throughout. We also loved receiving the photos and updates from their walks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!

Kim was professional and considerate from the moment we met. She walked my pup a few days while I was out of town, helping split care with my mom. Kim checked in ahead of the service, during with questions, and sent lots of pictures to clearly show what happened. When my pup was sick one day, Kim kindly cleaned up after her and sat with her instead of trying to push through with a walk. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup in her hands.

We just adopted our dog from a rescue about a month ago and Andrea has been so communicative on each walk. Yogi is high energy and not the easiest on walks. I gave a lot of suggestions to help Yogi practice what we’re working on in training, and Andrea has been so good about trying to help him stay consistent and just making sure he’s well loved and cared for while we’re at work. Yogi has been doing so well at home after she takes him for his walk and plays with him. Would not hesitate to have Andrea walk Yogi again!
