About: I have much dog walking and dog sitting experience with my son's and daughter's dogs. I have a love of dogs of all types and ages. I can provide my own poop bags if needed. I am a credentialed/substitute high school teacher looking for dog walking opportunities during summer break. Can continue on weekends and evenings during school term. I can provide my own poop bags if needed. I cannot keep dogs or cats in my own home because of my wife's allergies, but look forward to getting out in the fresh air with your pets and giving them the exercise they need in their own neighborhoods.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare/grooming shop in Saratoga for a year and have worked with many ages from young puppies to senior dogs. I am a caring person and would love to gain more experience working with different types of dogs! I am currently working full-time, but I work from home, so I can usually help out on weekends any time, especially if booked in advance, and usually week days too! I will likely not be providing boarding services as I live in an apartment currently, but I know of many local parks and can take dogs to and from!

About: I have grown up with dogs and have cared for them as an adult for over 15 years. I currently have 3 dogs of my own who are well cared for and VERY loved! I am a part time soccer coach and have practices in the evenings, which means I get to be home with my animals (or yours) in the morning to afternoon time! Try me out with this code: CHARLM07840 My animals are always first priority in my home, and it would be the same for a client's home. I understand the importance of gaining an animal's trust, and giving them the best, quality care.

About: I have always had a deep love for dogs, growing up with one in my hometown. My experience expanded significantly during my time as an au pair in Germany, where I cared for Hannah, a beautiful Golden Retriever. Hannah was incredibly loving with her family but reactive around other dogs - she would bark and lunge toward them. I learned to read her body language, redirect her attention with treats and commands, and keep her calm during walks by choosing quieter routes and using positive reinforcement techniques. As a nursing student, I understand the importance of following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and watching for behavioral or health changes. Whether it's an energetic pup needing mental stimulation or a senior dog requiring gentler care, I adapt my approach to each dog's unique needs. I'll treat your furry family member with the same attention I'd want for my own future Golden Retriever (coming this September!). Currently: I'm completely free this summer until September 11th! This is the perfect time to build a great relationship with your pet before my fall classes begin. Starting fall quarter (September 22nd), I'll be a nursing student at De Anza College with a flexible weekday schedule that's perfect for pet care! My classes will only be on Monday mornings (9am-12pm) and Tuesday/Thursday evenings (3-7pm), leaving me plenty of time for your furry friends. My availability: Right now (until Sept 11): Available weekdays anytime! Fall semester: Weekday mornings, afternoons, and most evenings Weekends: Very rarely available - I prefer to keep weekends for personal time unless I have no other plans Advance notice: I prefer 1-2 days notice to ensure I can give your pet my full attention I'm available for: Dog walking (30-60 minutes) Drop-in visits (30-45 minutes) House sitting (day visits only - no overnight stays currently) My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while pursuing my passion for helping others, both human and furry! Your pet's safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. As a nursing student, I understand the importance of following detailed instructions, maintaining routines, and watching for any changes in behavior or health. Having cared for pets as an au pair in Germany and Austria, I know how crucial trust is when caring for someone's beloved family member. I maintain open communication throughout our time together and treat every pet as if they were my own. Safety measures I follow: •Keep dogs securely leashed unless in owner-approved off-leash areas •Stick to familiar, safe routes you recommend •Ensure your home remains secure during visits •Immediate communication if anything unusual occurs I'm fluent in English, Thai, and conversational in German, making me comfortable with San Jose's diverse community. I have reliable emergency transportation and your vet's contact information readily available.

“We truly believe we have found the best dog walker ever ! Judi treats Aria like she is hers. She is very flexible and is always working around our schedule. Judi is always on time and never cuts Arias walks short. Aria is very shy but Judi is so good she adapted to her very quickly and gets very excited every time she shows up! I can’t thank Hudi enough but if you are looking for someone to take care of your baby Judi is definitely the right person !!!”

About: My family has been petsitting family and friend's dogs and cats for as long as I can remember.

This exposure lead me to have a great interest in learning dog and cat breeds, hereditary diseases, and behavior/body language. I have 5+ years in the animal industry from pet supply to medical care. I have experience in administering medications and subcutaneous fluids, simple grooming(nail trims and brushing), and some basic puppy training.

“Terry is really the best dog walker you could ask for. loves our dog al, gives him enough time and attention, and work with us to make the schedule work. Always gives us a heads up when she isn't available. We have had many walkers over the years and Terry definitely lands on top of our favorites.”

Sam G.

“If you haven’t had a dog walker like Yvette, you’ve never had a dog walker. She takes the best care of Tobi boy, she gives him lots of love, and always pays close attention to detail, like if there is something different about Tobi’s energy, or his poops, and let’s me know. I always feel very at ease when she is taking care of my doggie!”
