“Diane is truly awesome and dependable, consistently going above and beyond to meet our needs. She communicate well and timely. Diane has been our trusted and reliable go-to walker for Cholla and Mesa and we feel fortunate to have someone so reliable and dedicated looking after them.”
“I’ve worked with Tuan for a few times already and he’s been a wonderful Rover to work with. Even though I had a lot of instructions and my oldest dog was a bit feisty and snippy, he took all of the instructions in stride and went above and beyond in his care for my babies. I highly recommend him and look forward to the next time I can work with him.”
“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.”

About: I've been surrounded by pets ever since I was a kid. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pups. Even though I no longer have a dog of my own, since she passed away a couple years ago, I enjoy taking care of others and taking them for walks. I currently have a pet kitty called Sypha. I currently WFH so I have a lot of flexibility for drop-ins and walks during the day. I'm mostly available during the evening but happy to swing by during the workday. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and their environment clean and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, favorite toys.
“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 🙂”
“Travis has started walking our 2.5 year old husky mix Apollo twice a week and we will be using Travis for future care as well when we are out of town. Apollo loves him and we get pictures of their walks. Travis is always respectful of my home and really prioritizes my fur baby. He is always on time if not early and excellent at communicating if he has questions or needs anything. I fully trust him with our baby and am so thankful he is here to help us out!”
“Anna is patient, loving and very attentive toward my boys. They generally take a while to warm up to new people but she won them over very quickly with her warmth. Thank you Anna! We look forward to more walks with you.”
“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!”
“Emily walked our dogs for a few days when we were in a pinch with work. She was very communicative and prompt at coming at our requested time. The dogs loved her and she was very sweet to them. Overall, amazing service!”
About: My Havanese-Poodle mix, Charlie, died in August of '22 and instead of getting another pooch right away, I'm now a sitter on Rover! I know and *love* the ins and outs of caring for pets--have cared for them since I was a small child. As a youth, in addition to caring for cats and dogs, we also had guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, turtles, fish, frogs, lizards, and snakes. Toward the end of his life, my dog Charlie had been diagnosed with several mild but chronic health issues that I helped ease every day and night. Also, shortly before my elderly cat died (RIP 12/2021) he required injections of saline solution on a weekly basis for two months. As long as I can get my sports/workouts done several days per week (usually in the mornings for a couple hours), I am good go to and free to watch your fur baby(ies) the rest of the day and night (and to my heart's delight). I enjoy staying home whenever I'm able. I enjoy a very clean home. Also, my couch cushions and pillow cases are washable so they're also regularly laundered. Your dog can sleep on my bed if necessary as long you bathe him or her just prior to dropping off. If you like, my back door can be propped open during the day when I'm not present so your pet(s) can go in and out at will. If you prefer I can lock him/her in when I'm away.
About: After pet boarding my best friend dog for many years, I became a dog owner myself. My dog was a mixed terrier called « Pumpkin ». She was a rescue adopted in 2010. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2018. In 2019, I adopted a dachshund mixed from the Human Society. Her name is Carli and I love to walk her, play with her. The flexibility of the job fits my schedule as a mom of a 8 yo boy. I am a reliable person who have been working for Wag walking service for 4 years. I will take good care of your dog as if he/she is mine. I can’t wait to meet and walk your dog! See you soon! I drop my son at 8am at school and I can walk dogs from 8:30am to 2pm during the the school days. For boarding, except when I am on a walk, I am at home. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can play. I always make sure the yard gate is closed. At home, there is a gate between the kitchen and living room area so dogs can stay secure while I am cooking. I have PetCare Insurance.
“Ann was fantastic! She was very patient with Brie. She took her on walks everyday and my pup finally warmed up to her. I appreciated all the pics and good info for each day. I will definitely be booking her in the near future!!”
About: I love dogs, I’ve taken care of dogs big and small all my life! (Largest: Newfoundland!, tiniest: chihuahua) Friends and neighbours always asked me to take care of their beloved doggies and I’ve never failed to impress them :) I will make sure that your dog get enough food, potty breaks and a lot of love! I’m currently in a career transition so super flexible with time! Anytime during the day works best for me, but evenings work too. Happy to match whatever time that works for you :) I don’t have any dogs, cats, animals in my apartment, and I don’t have a lot of stuff (very minimalistic styled room) so your puppies will have plenty of room to run around and have nothing to accidentally swallow in! I live 5mins from a big park and there’s a lot of dog owners in my apartment complex - we can go say hi on our walk!
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. :)
