Dog Walking Santa Clara

“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! :)”

“Darnelle was amazing!! I had to leave for the weekend urgently and Darnelle kindly agreed to walk him at the last minute. She was always on point, and was patient with directions to enter the building. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog Benji was comfortable and walked him for ample time on both days! Even though my dog isn’t very friendly with new people, he warmed up to her quickly and went on walks without any hassle. Would definitely recommend her for all your doggy care needs! She is the best”

“Suz was so great! Super quick to respond, kept me updated and provided tons of photos - our pup was so happy with her walk. Will be connecting with her again for another walk - and would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

About: I worked at Naperville Animal Hospital for about a year as a kennel technician. I have a labradoodle that just turned 7 who is 90 pounds. I also have 2 cats who are almost a year old. I love going on walks with my dog and taking him to do fun things (dog park, pup cup, etc). I also love playing and taking care of my cats. Am always available to give them the love they deserve. I always make sure to clean up after my own animals and will make sure to do the same for others. I also make sure to make them feel comfortable even in a new environment.

“Fantastic dog walker! Very friendly and reliable. She was great with my fur baby”

About: Growing up, I used to always come home with stray dogs and insisted we must keep them since they didn’t have a home. I have loved cats and dogs all my life, I would volunteer myself to walk all the animals in my family when I’d go over. My experience comes from having my own, having them in our family and volunteering to watching them while the grown ups go out and have fun. I love our furry friends! I’ve cared for a dwarf bunny, a dog and cats recently and I enjoyed getting to know them and their unique behaviors. Seeing how much I enjoyed it made me realize I could do this on a daily basis given how much free time I have. About 4 years ago I started feeding stray cats around my old neighborhood, the colony was huge but I felt the need to help them. The more I fed them and gained their trust the more I felt the need to help. I found a woman on IG and asked her if she could help me fix them all and find them homes. She was able to trap and fix them, there was around 96 cats total & we were able to successfully rehome 30 of them! One of them owned me and I couldn’t see him go so I kept Spot. I love cats and dogs and find them to be what every human needs in their life. I enjoy being home and I love going on walks as a form of self care. Pet care fits perfectly in my weekly routine because my main focus is to finish school at this time. I wouldn’t mind the company! I attend to their needs as I come across them and follow their own schedules on a timely manner. I ensure that I provide them with clean water and food daily while also giving them the proper exercise and attention on the basis of their schedule. Please note I only crate them when requested by owner and if it’s provided. I’m currently studying and doing Rover full time, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pet. I’m available for services every day of the week. Looking forward to providing a comfortable and loving experience for your furry friend! When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. I stay home to keep your fur baby company throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe and secure while you're away. I’m happy to follow their specific routines, from feeding and playtime to rest, so they have the consistency they’re used to. Crating is available if and when it suits your pet’s comfort and needs, and I make every effort to create a warm, welcoming environment where they can feel completely at ease. Please feel free to share any special instructions or preferences—I’m here to provide the best care for your furry friend!

“Pearl always take the time to get to know my dog's specific needs and preferences, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. The walks are always on time, and she provides detailed updates afterward, including photos and notes about the walk. My dog comes back exhausted (in the best way) and happy every time. I also appreciate how Pearl communicates. She is highly relatable and reliable.”

About: With a genuine love for animals, I approach pet care with compassion and attentiveness. While my formal experience in pet sitting may be limited to a few occasions, I have always been surrounded by pets, especially dogs. Growing up with my two puppies, Anna and Mia, has honed my skills in training, socialization, and creating a safe environment. What sets me apart is my dedication to ensuring the happiness and well-being of every pet in my care. I am highly observant, quick to notice any changes in behavior or health, and I prioritize reliability and responsibility in every interaction. My enthusiasm for spending time with pets shines through, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in your absence. Whether it's engaging in play, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to offering the best care for your furry friends. Your pets will be in loving and capable hands with me! I can easily accommodate pet care into my routine. I am highly organized and prioritize my responsibilities, ensuring that I can dedicate specific times for pet sitting, walking, and feeding. I also have flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to adapt to the needs of the pets I care for. Overall, I can provide consistent and reliable care while balancing my other commitments. When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. For boarding or daycare services, I ensure that my home is pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I provide regular walks, playtime, and attention, following any specific routines or instructions provided by the pet parent. For house sitting, I maintain the pet's regular schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, as well as monitoring their health and behavior for any changes. Overall, my goal is to make pets feel at ease and well-cared for in their temporary environment, whether that's in my home or their own home.

I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well.

“Bingo was so happy after his walk! She provides great updates and pictures!”

“Reese has been (and continues to be) an amazing friend to my crazy malinois mix boy, visiting weekly for the past few years. He understands my dog's fears, reactivity triggers, and his vocal songs when he's almost home from his walks. Can't rave enough about how much I appreciate him!”

Julia C.

“Am adding the 5 stars to my prior review... Jamie is a mature, caring and capable pet person. We have a very anxious dog and Jamie was very understanding - taking the time to get to know him. It is very challenging to find someone who you can trust with your pets, and we are lucky to have found Jamie!”

“Connor is one of the best caregivers I have ever known. I was tasked to go on a two weeks trip but my dogs have never been away from me for that long. After the greet and meet, I know Connor is someone I can trust who can take good care of my dogs. Connor provided daily updates with clear records. Doggies seemed very happy every time walked by Connor. I feel like I’m so lucky to find Connor. I wish there is a 10-star that I can leave for Connor. Thank you!”

“My Brody is a very special little guy. He can be a little skiddish and temperamental. Keilah always approaches him calmly and with so much care. I appreciate her so much and know Brody is always in the best hands!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old for my neighbors, family and friends. I am happy to bathe, walk, feed and play with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I truly love all dogs so much and would love to spend time with yours:) I am currently a student at Santa Clara University and have a lot of free time on my hands! Usually on a day to day basis I go to a couple classes, go for a walk and hang out with friends. I have two dogs of my own that are now 11 years old. They have been treated with so much love and care. I currently live in a house with 8 girls and we all love caring for dogs through rover.

About: Hi, I'm Pratik! Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a german shepherds (Bruce, Throw, and Cash) I learned early on what it takes to care for large, energetic breeds from structured walks and playtime to understanding their body language and unique personalities. ​In addition to my deep love for dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats. Whether they are high energy kittens who want to play or sweet seniors who just need a quiet companion and a gentle scratch behind the ears, I know how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I'm responsible, highly attentive to detail, and dedicated to making sure your furry family members get the same love and care they would receive if you were home. I can't wait to meet your pets! Because I do pet care on a part-time basis, I am able to give your pets my focused, dedicated attention during our time together. My schedule allows me to easily fit in active daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and consistent feeding routines without rush. For Long-Term Services: I am absolutely open to and available for long term bookings and regular schedules! Because long term care requires consistency, I just ask that we chat and discuss the details first to make sure my schedule perfectly aligns with your pet's routine. In Your Home (Drop-ins & Sitting): I treat your home with the utmost respect. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box scooping, and exercise, making sure your pet gets quality companionship without the stress of leaving their familiar environment. Mandatory Meet & Greet Policy: Because every pet and household has unique needs, I require an initial in-person meet-and-greet before officially agreeing to any service.

About: I’ve had experience walking dogs and enjoy being around cats and dogs! I have always wanted a pet dog or cat growing up but was never able to get one and I’m hoping to get to experience the happiness and joy of our local West Seattle dogs and cats! I’m currently unemployed so I can easily accommodate to whatever schedule you need. Feel free to contact me directly and I would be happy to discuss this more. I will not be taking in any pet care services in my home as the individuals I live with are not comfortable with this. Thank you.
