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.

“10/10 Thanos had an amazing time. Jason is on time and very responsive. Will definitely be booking again in the future.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life until a couple of years ago when my dog, Allee, passed away. I'm not ready to commit to getting another dog yet but I miss the pitter patter of paws so pet sitting is the perfect option for me. I recently retired, so I have lots of time for walks and tummy rubs with your furry friend. I am available for doggie day care Monday through Friday and for overnight boarding weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced in yard and no pets. With my flexible schedule, your furry friends will get lots of play time, tummy rubs and potty walks (every 3-4 hours).

“I needed a last-minute dog walker for the week and Javante was so kind to help out! We weren’t able to meet beforehand, but he was very communicative and reached out with questions. Birdie seemed to love him as well! I appreciate his help and care for her so much.”

“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.”

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals and have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable giving medications and following any specific care routines your pet requires. I know every animal is different, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for walks, playing, or just keeping each other company, I'll care for your pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether it's daily walks or drop in visits, I'm committed to being reliable and responsive. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, and I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of potential hazards. I closely supervise pets, follow any instructions you provide, and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I'm also happy to crate pets if requested, administer medications, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Sara is friendly, reliable, and a great sitter overall. I highly recommend her services!”

“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”

About: I’ve been walking for Wag for a year and am now expanding to Rover. I’ve walked small to mid sized dogs, one and two dogs at a time. I helped my parents take care of their two bunnies for 10 years, but my dad is allergic to fur so I can’t have any indoor pets. I want to spend more time with animals until I can afford to move out and get my own. I am not currently working, so I am available any day and time of the week. I typically am up and about 7am-9pm but can modify slightly if needed. I will treat the pet like my own and follow any rules or expectations that you share with me. I am generally a very gentle person, but when it comes to training and safety, I am not afraid to escalate a little to make sure everybody is behaving properly, humans and pets alike.

“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”

“I was very happy with Maryna as she was very friendly and was very reliable. She also took good care of our dog and he loved the walks. Will definitely repeat with her again.”

About: Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a sitter I have over 9 years of experience caring for a variety of pets. I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your family members. As a former dog mom I have over 20 years of experience, and years of experience fostering stray cats in Brazil. I offer daily walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of affection. My home is pet friendly, with a secure outdoor space where dogs can run and play. I also provide cozy areas for cats to lounge and explore. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. That’s why I prioritize open communication, sending regular updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note: I have children who are kind, respectful, and experienced around animals. They enjoy interacting with pets - playing fetch or engaging with playful cats using toys. Also, they are happy to give space to pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment. Whether you need a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I’m here to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I look forward to becoming your trusted pet sitter :) I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I do ask that pets are comfortable around children, as I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home. Our family loves going on walks, and we have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and our children. They are welcome in and out of the house.

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.

About: I have 18 years of experience caring for other people’s pets and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I have also worked in a large-animal veterinary setting. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, multiple-dog households, and pets with medical or special-care needs. I am comfortable administering eye and ear drops, oral and topical medications, and food additives according to your instructions. As a preschool teacher, I am calm in chaotic situations, attentive to individual needs, adaptable, nurturing, and playful. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pet wants active play, a long walk, gentle companionship, or a quiet presence nearby, I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to keep your pet’s life as familiar and predictable as possible while you are away, reducing stress by following their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines. I work as a preschool teacher during the school year and am generally available for morning, late-afternoon, and evening care. My school-year schedule is best suited to pets who are comfortable being alone for at least six hours during the day. I have my greatest flexibility during summer and school holiday breaks, when I may be able to accommodate pets that need more frequent visits, closer supervision, medication on a specific schedule, or additional companionship. I will always discuss your pet’s routine and needs with you before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I care for every pet according to their established routine, personality, comfort level, and household rules. Before care begins, I make sure I understand feeding instructions, medications, walking routines, triggers, hiding places, emergency contacts, and any safety concerns. I strive to be consistent and dependable, communicate clearly, and keep you updated while you are away. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with care and respect. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or overall well-being and will contact you promptly if anything seems unusual. I can also board apartment-friendly dogs who are calm and safe around cats. Because I have a senior tripod cat, her safety and comfort are essential. Boarding requests will need to be a good match for a shared apartment environment, and I will carefully discuss your dog’s history with cats, behavior indoors, routine, and supervision needs before confirming.

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

“Karlin was very reliable and we felt safe leaving our dog in her care. Would be very happy if she will take care of Hazel again next time we need someone. She was thoughtful and a good communicator too. Thank you again, Karlin!”

“Seva has been wonderfully prompt and communicative. She has gone above and beyond in situations, such as cleaning up when my dog surprised her with a living room full of torn up shoes. Definitely recommended.”
