Dog Walking West San Jose

About: I was raised with dogs since I was born, both foster dogs and dogs I've adopted. For dogs I've adopted, I've had Terrier mixes, Shepard mixes, and mutts. For fosters, I've had Pit mixes, Chihuahua mixes, Poodle mixes, Dachshund mixes...a lot of mixed breeds. Currently I have a senior Terrier mix and a middle-aged Shepard mix. I was also raised with cats, my task being to clean their litter boxes and feed them. I have had several cats throughout my life, starting with a tuxedo named Sammy when I was very young. Currently I do not have any cats, although I wish for one. On weekdays and weekends, the EARLIEST I can drop by for drop-ins and walking by is 10:30AM and the LASTEST I can drop by is 5:30PM. I have a very flexible schedule! I am available to walk and check-in on both weekends and weekdays. In my own home, I care for my dogs through feeding them, taking them on walks around the block and neighborhood, and playing with them. I offer the same thing for your pet(s). I will keep an eye on your animal(s) throughout my stay and take them for as many walks as you'd like me to. I am also happy to take them out more than the times specified. I will also make sure they are all fed on time and always have plenty of water to drink.

“Xi was great! She took good care of our dog while we were gone. She walked her, gave her love and her medicine. There was quick and clear communication the whole time. We felt our dog was in good hands. Will use her again!”

“Sydney is a very nice young lady and makes an effort to understand what your needs are and your pet’s needs too. My boy doggo sniffed her and liked her immediately. They went on a walk and he came back so happy. I appreciated the wonderful walk they had and Sydney’s care for my precious boy.”

“Haotian is amazing! She took very good care of YoYo when I’m out of town. She is a very detail oriented person and makes sure everything is smooth. She took a lot of cute picture of YoYo and wrote very detailed Rover Card! Even it’s raining, she still found ways to walk YoYo. I really appreciated her help!! Thank you so much!!”

About: I had a Maltese when I was in college. My family and I love dogs a lot. I am here to take care you lovely pets, from walks to feeding, sitting. I am a housewife. I pay attention to your schedule and habits for dogs and cats. If I do house sitting in your house, I will keep everything neat and clean. I can take on dogs and cats. I would like to know about their feeding schedule and food preferences. Also want to know how long they typically want to go out after eating and how many times a day. Are they crated at night. Is there a need for a muzzle. Are they children friendly, cat crazy. What makes them sad, what amps them up.

“Sydney is the best! Always takes the best care of my baby. Thank you Sydney!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a child and have been a pet caregiver for over 26 years - from simple visits to walks to house-sitting. I have a natural bond with animals and promise to provide a loving environment under my care. I've cared for young ones and seniors, have administered medications, have been on the occasional vet visits when necessary and am no stranger to lots of play & engagement. I'd love nothing more than to take the best care of your beloved, furry family members! I've recently been laid off and am currently seeking full-time employment. Apart from personal productivity, job searching, already scheduled appointments, etc., I can be somewhat flexible. I prefer to have no more than 2 visits/walks each day, so that I can accommodate my other needs. I won't be caring for pets in my home. When it comes to the client's home, I pay attention to what each client prefers and what is most important to them to feel that I'm a trustworthy & quality caregiver. I pay close attention to pet signals, personalities and patterns, and am very communicative with my clients. I stick to the routines as instructed, and pivot/ask for consent when I see that an animal has a need that was not discussed.
