Dog Walking in Western Hills, San Mateo

“Alexander is doing a great job of walking Max & Mochi. Mochi is fearful and Alexander knows how to approach a fearful dog and reward them positively to boost their confidence. He is gentle and approaches Mochi slowly with treats and encouragement. Both Max and Mochi appear to enjoy their walks with him!”

“Very punctual and conscientious.”

“Mara was great! I was able to book her last minute and she was great at communicating and making my pup happy! I appreciated all the picture too!”

“Aaron walks my 140lb Great Dane when I’m at work and sends me pictures. My dog recently became reactive on a leash with me but Aaron says he doesn’t have any problems with my dog and I believe him. I’m considering letting my dog stay with Aaron longer or have a second walk since he is so good with my dog.”

“Peter is an amazing dog person. My Dumpling loves him. One of the reasons I am sad from moving of San Mateo is that Dumpling will not have his weekly walks with Pete.”

“We feel very lucky to have found Vivienne! She is great with our pup and always punctual and communicative. Thank you!”

“Tom did a great job walking our dog. He is reliable and got along great with our dog!”

“Joseph was great with Sailor! He was a great sport with my energetic puppy and accepted my request last minute on a Friday night. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”

“Vivian was great! She responds VERY quickly and was open to walking Lou on a weekend while I had to work which was awesome because it can be really tough finding someone on weekends. I enjoyed reading her walk adventures with Lou! It was very detailed and we have plenty of pics. Thanks so much!”

“Very communicative and took lots of photos!”

“Benji is a thoughtful and caring sole who loves dogs. I left terrior, Marco, with Benji for 9 days while I visited Hawaii. Marco is a little high maintenance and suffers from seperation anxiety but photos and videos I received showed his settling in comfortably. Well, maybe too comfortably as he wanted to sleep in Benji's bed. Benji was relieved when he could say "Marco, Go to your bed" and Marco would obey.”

“I appreciate how Doug is punctual and is commutative. It assures me he cares about Zoya and her walk time experience, which brings me great comfort.”

“Dustin was great walking Baeley for me on short notice. Very communicative and paid attention to my instructions/needs. Would absolutely recommend and use his services again.”

“Paloma is great! Very professional, reliable, and friendly. Lily really enjoyed her walk with her and I was happy about it. Thank you Paloma!”

About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

“We are very happy we were able to work with ZInzhi while on vacation. She was able to walk our Ruby and even had a back up leash when we forgot to leave ours out. She was beyond communicative and Ruby loved walking with her. We are excited for the next time we get to work with her to help us with Ruby.”

“Heleen is wonderful with animals! She is caring, considerate, and thoughtful. If an animal is around Heleen's attention is going to be fully with them. And she loves all animals big and small. She's been around animals all her life and that experience shows in how she interacts with them so naturally. If you're looking for a reliable and nurturing pet sitter Heleen is the perfect choice.”

“Hyman did two great jobs. He adjusted to deal both to the 3 yo and the 12 yo.”
