Dog Walking in Santa Clara

“Soyoung has been amazing at walking my dog, feed her a special homemade diet, and taking her out again. She’s been very thorough, follows my directions, and even offered to measure Rosie’s food portions to be accurate. I feel rest-assured with her knowing she’s in great hands! She also was patient when the leasing office was closed, and waited almost half an hour to retrieve keys to get into my apartment.”

“We reached out to Darnelle very very last minute and she responded quickly to come to our rescue! Darnelle was communicative, sent great pics and it looked like our pup had a great walk. We will reach out to Darnelle again for sure!”

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: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday. My August/Fall schedule has not been confirmed as I will be starting a new job. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.

“Gary has been an incredible find as my dog walker! From the moment he met Mylo, it was evident he genuinely cares for animals. Mylo comes back from his walks with Gary positively radiant, clearly having enjoyed his time. I greatly appreciate Gary's willingness to let Mylo play in the park during their walks or spend a little extra time playing after the walks. Thanks a lot.”

About: I enjoy caring for dogs of all stages and taking them on fun and safe nature walks. I have experience with puppies, teaching commands, and tending to older dogs with medical needs such as special diets, medication feeding. I currently work part time and enjoy being around nature and animals so this is very enjoyable for me to do as a second part time job. I like spending additional time with other dogs and cats. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can fit in time for your loved pets. I'm very detail oriented and will follow pet parent's instructions as how to care for your pet. If there are things you prefer and or rather avoid I will ensure to follow directions.

“Quianwen was absolutely amazing. Flexible, understanding, and incredibly caring throughout the entire experience. She followed all of the instructions carefully and was so kind, supportive, and loving with Shakti, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s also such a relatable and easy person to communicate with. I would 100% use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.

“So glad I found Kayla! She was super sweet, reliable, easy to communicate with, and took such great care of my two dogs. This was my first time hiring someone to care for my pups, and she made it such a positive experience. I’d happily book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy with their dogs!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs since they were puppies, including feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing daily attention and exercise. Through my Veterinary Assistant (VA) course, I also gained foundational knowledge in animal handling, safety, hygiene, and pet wellness. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs every day. I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for pet care feels very natural to me. At home, I care for my own dogs with daily walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to keep them happy and healthy. For clients, I would provide the same level of care and attention through walks and daycare. I aim to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines, patience, and supervision are when caring for someone else’s pet.

About: Our family has cared for 5 dogs over the last 12 years, ranging from the cutest lab to a dane. I've even helped train hunting dogs in the off season sometimes. I'm currently a student studying at a University here in the bay so I have plenty of time to help with anything! I'm available most weekends and afternoons as well as some mornings throughout the week. I prioritize maintaining each pet's routine to make sure they feel comfortable when you are away. For walks or drop-ins I can help with making sure they get enough exercise, they have water or food, or even need to take some of their medicine. I'm always observant and love to provide detailed updates and photos after every visit so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy :)

“Jie and her partner were amazing with our dog! They were gentle, communicative, and true dog lover. Our pup came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommended!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I truly believe dogs are "man's best friend" and I treat all of my dogs like members of my family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. I am currently working part-time while going to university right here in Santa Clara, so I'm pretty busy throughout the week, but as soon as the clock hits 5pm on Friday, I'm more than available to care for your dog. I am available Friday afternoons and all day long on Saturday, and Sunday, so you can enjoy your weekend without having to worry about your dog(s) at all. Since I am living on campus while I attend university, I cannot provide house-sitting services in my own residence, but I am more than comfortable caring for dogs in the homes of my clients and taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood.
