“I can't recommend Jasmine highly enough as a dog walker. She is incredibly sweet and fantastic with my puppy. Every week my dog and I eagerly look forward to her visits. Jasmine’s experience with the Humane Society Silicon Valley is evident in her exceptional care and handling of dogs. Her expertise and love for animals make her a standout. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker you can’t go wrong with Jasmine.”
“Anna just finished a 5 day walking stretch for Sunny. She was punctual and extremely caring. By the end of the fifth day, Sunny’s tail would wag when she knocked on the door. I will be using Anna for future requests:)”
“Travis is very reliable and is the 2 nd person in line from my regular walker - I don’t trust a lot of people with my 100 pound spoiled baby, but I never feel nervous when I know area is has him on walks. He is reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I have 2 cats of my own that was gifted to me by the cat distribution system! 💖 I also help care for my friends’ cats and help walk their dogs when they’re out of town. I am a student and can provide drop-in visits any day of the week after 3pm. My schedule is more flexible on weekends and open to discussing my availability! ⏱️ I will treat your cats with the love and care that I show my two loaves! 🐈🐈 I love to play with them as well so would be happy to do so if needed! I like to follow the cat’s preferred diet/instructions left by their owners.
“Isabella has helped my little dog so much! We hired her to walk my little 14 lb ball of trouble—super reactive, very territorial—when I was about to have ankle surgery in mid-July, and be away from more than 2 1/2 weeks for surgery and rehab. When I came home, I was amazed at the change in Scotty. He’s not perfect, yet, but he’s far calmer and less prone to fits of barking. Her training has done wonders, and of course, the long walks are a huge help in tiring him out. Great job!”
“Eric is always wonderful and Scout so enjoys her walks with him. He’s also so good about making time for us even when his schedule is tight. We are so thankful to him for his help 🙂”
About: We have a very cozy and beautiful apartment and I can stay with pets the whole day! When the weather is good I can bring your pet to Washington park. I am currently unemployed so I can take good care of the pets for the whole day. During the weekend I can bring the pet to play outside. I live in a luxury apartment on the first floor. I have a cozy fenced balcony and the sunshine is perfect all day. It’s very quiet and safe.
“Allyn Rose was an excellent dog walker. She was communicative, responsive, and great with my two pups. It is clear that she loves dogs and what she does. She comes highly recommended!”
“Smitha is always punctual and reliable, which gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. She has been an absolute blessing for my elderly dog who struggles with separation anxiety.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was six years old and have raised three dogs of my own. I’m experienced with daily walks, bathing, feeding, and providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors and friends look after their dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for different personalities and needs. In addition, I’ve been a long-term volunteer at an animal shelter, where I care for both dogs and cats. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m generally available during the daytime on weekdays and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending quality time with both dogs and cats. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow pet parents’ instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel safe and relaxed in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a clean, calm environment. I make sure doors and gates are secure, use leashes properly during walks, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. My experience as a long-term animal shelter volunteer has taught me how to handle pets patiently and gently.I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their well-being.
“Elvira was amazing. We often struggle finding a sitter as we have a reactive dog but she really had a way with connecting with our animals and they warmed right up to her. I cannot recommend her enough :)”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. From volunteering at shelters and taking animal care classes as a teen, to working in barn environments with horses, I’ve always felt most at home when I’m around animals. At home, I care for my two beloved companions: my anxious dog, who I've trained with patience and love, and a sweet medically complex cat who receives daily medications. I’m calm, and capable when it comes to administering meds, understanding behavioral needs, and providing gentle, attentive care. Besides my own, I've also cared for pets across many breeds, temperaments, and ages. I'm very familiar with training plans and positive reinforcement techniques, and I love to offer all kinds of fun enrichment toys and tasty (pet-safe!) treats if appropriate. I also prioritize sending photo updates throughout the day so you can see your baby having a great time. I'm currently only working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I am very available to tend to your pets needs whenever is best for you. I can offer both morning and afternoon walks or play sessions, and can check in almost any time, early mornings to late evenings. My biggest priority is meeting your pet where they are at. This means respecting your pets space and boundaries within your home. If they want to play, cuddle, or romp around, I am extremely happy to match their energy. We can take long walks, do zoomies in a nearby park, or enjoy a quiet moment and some treats together.
About: I’ve been talking care of animals since I was 11. I had big dogs growing up and several cats in my adult life. As I’m unable to have pets in my current living space I’d love to come love and care for yours. Although I work full time I’m single and have no pets of my own so I have plenty of spare time to care and watch your pets. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and love to go on hikes during the weekends. I’m familiar with crate and reward based training. I stay off my phone and make sure to be present and looking out for your animal at all times.
“CT is absolutely amazing! I had her come by everyday to walk my Koa while I was at work for a few days and Koa was always so happy and excited when she came. CT always kept me well informed and took amazing care of Koa. I really appreciated her help. If you’re looking for someone kinda and reliable to walk your dog definitely consider CT 😊”
About: I've taken care of many different breeds, sizes & ages over the years & I pride myself in being a dog person. They love me & I love them! I adapt to their training style while being sure to successfully maintain control. If they aren't excited to see me upon arrival, I'm doing something wrong! I have some free time that I'm looking to fill with something that brings me joy & some extra cash. I am a coach at Orangetheory. Other than that, my week is very as flexible I usually schedule out one (maybe 2) week(s) at a time. We have a big yard (front and back), and live in a nice neighborhood in Sunnyvale. I live a very active lifestyle, so walks are no problem at all! My housemates are extremely loving and caring (as parents of 8!), and their family dogs have since passed. We could use a furry friend now and again. :)

Diane has been coming to walk our two huskies for about a month now, and she has been fantastic! Trustworthy and responsive, and Diane handles our huskies' mischief without any trouble. When we book her to walk them for a whole hour, we come back home to tired-out dogs. So glad to have found her as our dogs' walker!
Tianyu is an incredibly careful and reliable sitter. She proactively suggested a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped her get to know my dog and made me feel confident leaving my pup in her care. She consistently went above and beyond—spending more time with my dog than expected, helping with feeding, providing extra care on rainy days, and even assisting with medication. She was also very responsive and kept me constantly updated with messages about my dog’s behavior, along with thoughtful questions to make sure everything was handled correctly. I truly appreciated her attentiveness and dedication, and I would absolutely trust and recommend Tianyu to anyone looking for a responsible and caring Rover sitter
CT is absolutely amazing! I had her come by everyday to walk my Koa while I was at work for a few days and Koa was always so happy and excited when she came. CT always kept me well informed and took amazing care of Koa. I really appreciated her help. If you’re looking for someone kinda and reliable to walk your dog definitely consider CT 😊
Jhonatan was a fantastic dog walker for our Samoyed, Ptukha. He walked him for an hour every morning at 7 a.m. for a couple of weeks and was always punctual and professional. Ptukha was happy and well cared for, and we were very pleased with his service. Highly recommend!
If you want someone who will take care of your animal like they are your own look no further. Ethel went above and behind for my boys this trip. Not only is this my second time using her bc of how much my boys liked her the first time she visited but my dog was acting unusual and Ethel noticed right away! Even ended up taking to him the emergency vet for me since I was out of town. She made sure to keep me extra up to date sent pictures and videos and comforted my dog in more ways than one while he was hurt. I can not express how truly grateful I am for her attention to detail in my dogs care. 20/10 recommend
