Dog Walking in San Jose

“So glad I was able to get into Jacob's schedule for regular walks with my big dog, Oliver. Jacob is timely, communicative, and Oliver is so excited to see him. Oliver can be a bit of an energetic handful but I trust Jacob and he doesn't seem to mind. He gets Ollie out for good long walks and has been great at giving me updates about their time together.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I currently have three family pit bulls and one French bulldog, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large, high-energy dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with pets—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and affection. I’m also very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to care. One of my own dogs has a special diet, so I understand how important it is to stay on top of feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and overall health needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. About half the week I work from home, so I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’ll primarily be scheduling dog walks during my work-from-home days and on weekends, when I have more time to give your pet my full attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets stick to their usual routines. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or my client’s home. My apartment complex has a private dog park where dogs can enjoy space to run and play individually, so they’re not overwhelmed or interacting with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to tailor activity to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long walks at nearby parks, shorter neighborhood walks, or more relaxed playtime. I always prioritize safety, so pets will not be around other dogs while in my care unless otherwise requested. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

“I was so happy to have connected with Ana on short notice - she even came by for a meet & greet with my dog, Rocky, the evening before I needed her. She was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and flexible to his needs. She was also professional and respectful (with covid precautions). Thanks, Ana!”

“Ingrid goes above and beyond and I greatly appreciate it. My puppy is super excited each time she comes.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter based in Falls Church with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I’ve spent the past few years dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family, and clients, caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home, so I’m very respectful, clean, and detail-oriented. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, I’m here to help make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I currently work part time , my schedule changes but usually I’m able to pick up jobs during the week. Also, if I have enough time in advance, I’m open to overnight and extended stays. I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, or specific care instructions. Things like walking cleaning in any other pet care requirements I’m happy to meet.

About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising a Samoyed for two years, helping a friend care for a Golden Retriever for about six months, and taking care of a Bichon Frise for one month. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine. I’m patient, careful, and I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually make time for pet care during the day and evening. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting depending on the pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow the owner’s usual routine for feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, and updates. I always treat pets with patience and care, and I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking rules, medication if needed, and any special habits the pet has. I can provide photo or text updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

About: I’ve helped take care of dogs for most of my childhood. Whether it was my family’s, family friend’s, or my own pets, I’ve made sure that they were treated with love and care. I’m currently working part time as a ballet instructor. Though I will make sure to find the most convenient times that work best for both parties. As of now, my place might not be the best place for pets to come back to since I live in an apartment complex, but it does have a whole pet area to play in, plus I will make sure they get many pets and attention.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life since a baby. I love animals more than anything and will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m a stay/work from home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I can care for your pet while you’re at work or not at home. I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day. I live in a fairly large townhouse with a small back porch so there is enough room for a dog or cat to stretch out and relax

“SoYoung is really great! She is very flexible with scheduling & communicate really well. Most importantly, she loves dogs! She is patient with my 2 doodles. Committed to take them on a good long walk & played fetch with them. My dogs came home tired & happy, which is the goal! At the end of the walk she always include pictures, which made me feel very at ease when I'm away. She's trustworthy! :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs daily through raising and training my own two dogs, Oreo and Caramel. I’ve personally handled crate training, potty training, feeding schedules, leash walking, socialization, and creating consistent routines in a calm home environment. Caring for my dogs has helped me become very attentive to dog behavior, comfort, safety, and individual needs. I understand the importance of patience, supervision, communication, and making pets feel safe and at home while their owners are away. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every dog like part of the family. Pet care is becoming my full-time focus, so I’m available Monday through Friday and able to provide dogs with consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to build my daily routine around the dogs in my care, including walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, rest time, and individualized attention based on each dog’s needs. I’m home for most of the day and strive to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as crates available for downtime, rest, or maintaining your dog’s normal routine if needed. I also have a dog play area to help dogs stay active, engaged, and entertained throughout the day with supervised play and enrichment activities.

“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”

“Zhi was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was kind, friendly, playful, and went above and beyond everything I asked for. She made sure my dog was well taken care of by feeding him, taking him on a walk, and spending quality time playing with him at the park. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated him like her own. My dog loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
