“Rachel is sooooo understanding and patient with our very cautious and overly protective shepherd. She is attuned to his moods and cues, and always succeeds in getting him out for his scheduled walk, along with his sister. Yay for Rachel!”
“Terry is a wonderful walker! My dog loves her and comes back tired and happy :) she makes it very easy to pick up and drop off, as she comes directly to my office during the work day. It’s so nice having someone trustworthy and reliable to walk Boomer when I’m having a long week. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Charlie is the absolute best! She has been doing daily walks for my dog and it is the highlight of his day. His sits by the door waiting for her to arrive, gets so stinking excited when she shows up and toodles off with her in heaven. Charlie provides detailed updates on the walk and is highly communicative with us. In short, I could not recommend Charlie more!”
“Sarah did great job walking Goldie. She was helpful throughout all the walks and very good with communicating. She followed all instructions and did the very best she could do to walk my pet.”
“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 !!!”
“Cassidy is great! I always get thorough updates and she has been flexible with our last minute requests. She is very capable and experienced and I know my (sometimes anxious) pup is in good hands!”
“Whinde is great! She’s walked Fred twice now, and this time I got to see that Fred was very content after her walk. She was also able to walk her for a little longer after there was a mix up with the time.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 3 years old. I understand the love, care, and trust that pet owners invest in their animals, as well as the stress that can come with leaving them in someone else's care. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I leave the house for roughly 3 hours per day in order to take care of my personal fairs. I have no other obligations during my day other than attending to my horse (your dog is welcome to join me!!) for those 3 hours. I am always attentive and respectful in my clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and rules that help keep them safe and comfortable, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. Want your pet on the sofa? Great—they can relax on their favorite cushion. Prefer that they stay out of the kitchen? No problem. I'll work with you to maintain the boundaries and routines your pet is accustomed to. My goal is to provide consistent care that keeps your pet happy and gives you peace of mind while you're away.
“Zhi was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was kind, friendly, playful, and went above and beyond everything I asked for. She made sure my dog was well taken care of by feeding him, taking him on a walk, and spending quality time playing with him at the park. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated him like her own. My dog loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Ana has been very helpful in taking Tobi out for long walks and has been very patient with him and even willing to help him correct some behaviors and as well as helpibg him get more accustomed to other dogs, as he did not get much socialization during COVID. She is also flexible with scheduling! Thank you Ana!”
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
“Another great time for Watson, two times a charm. I love to spoil him and Jennifer is is now our new perfect pet nanny. I trust our baby with her completely Thanks again Jennifer your the best !”
“Coralee is wonderful! The dogs love her, she is communicative and respectful. The other day I was on an important meeting and Coralee came in the house. She knew about the meeting and was super quiet even when one of my dogs would not come to her. She really read the situation and handled it beautifully! Thank you, Coralee!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life with many different personalities and I love them no matter what! I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for over 3 years and love everything about it! I wanted to start pet walking in a way to be more active, build community, and meet cute pups! I’m working part-time and going to school so I have a lot of extra time to be outside and be productive! I love animals so it works well for my schedule. I love spending time outside with dogs either in the backyard, going to the park, or on a long walk! I’m able to have dogs at my home and I have a very friendly dog to keep them company!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I currently have three family pit bulls and one French bulldog, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large, high-energy dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with pets—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and affection. I’m also very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to care. One of my own dogs has a special diet, so I understand how important it is to stay on top of feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and overall health needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. About half the week I work from home, so I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’ll primarily be scheduling dog walks during my work-from-home days and on weekends, when I have more time to give your pet my full attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets stick to their usual routines. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or my client’s home. My apartment complex has a private dog park where dogs can enjoy space to run and play individually, so they’re not overwhelmed or interacting with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to tailor activity to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long walks at nearby parks, shorter neighborhood walks, or more relaxed playtime. I always prioritize safety, so pets will not be around other dogs while in my care unless otherwise requested. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hello, I’m Gisele. Im moved to San Jose in January 2025 from México. Back in Mexico, I used to took care of my family’s and friends’s dogs and cats since 2020 whenever they went on vacation feeding them and playing with them. I used to have a little Maltipoo named Dobby; he was an senior dog, but sadly, he passed away a year ago, leaving a huge void in my life and my heart. As a result, I have experience caring for senior dogs. Although I don’t have much experience here in the U.S. yet, but my neighbor gave me the opportunity to took care of his three dogs (two senior Keeshonds and a puppy French Bulldog) for a week. I enjoyed it so much that it inspired me to create a profile here. I love playing with dogs, I like petting them and taking them for walks. I simply love being with them. My English isn’t perfect, but I can handle basic conversations. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available all day to walk your dogs or look after them at your home. During the week, my availability depends on my school schedule; however, feel free to send me a message, and I will happily see if I can accommodate the times you need. I am typically available to walk dogs and make home visits on any weekday after 3:00 p.m. I take pet care very seriously. While in your home, I will follow your rules and your dog's routine. I will keep your house clean and secure. I will feed your dog at the scheduled time, provide fresh water, play with them, and take them out for walks—exactly as you request. I will lock the doors and send you photos and updates after every visit or walk. Your pet will be happy and safe with me.

Stephania has been doing check ins for my Dachshund puppy twice a day 3x a week for a few weeks now, and it is no easy task! At our first initial meeting, Stephania asked very detailed questions about her care, training, schedule, behavior, vet information, and also my expectations on what a day to day visit would look like. Her diligence reassured me that she is detailed oriented and really cares about providing the best care possible. She is very easy to contact, responds quickly, and openly communicates. My work schedule is very random, but Stephania goes above and beyond to work around it. Stephania is also very respectful of my home, and leaves it exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. I also have cats in my home that she is not responsible for caring for, but will still show them love and attention anyways. Poppy and I appreciate everything she does, and I am confident in rebooking her again!
RYDER Looks forward to his "Kick Off The Week" Walk with Rachel. She provides him variety, taking alternate routes around the neighborhood and exposing him to new sights and scents while out catching the morning sun and an occasional Squirrel crossing to get his heart-a-pumping! Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of our boy. I'm certain he's excited to see you arrive and walk with him... Thank You!
Sasha and Claire have been amazing with Wini! They’ve been super reliable, communicative, and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Wini was being taken care of while I was at work. Highly recommend them and would absolutely book again!
Courtney is the best of the best! I had never previously needed to hire “outside help” for one of my dogs (I only moved to the west coast a couple of years ago and previously had many friends and family nearby to help out) so I was super nervous to leave my puppy in the care of someone I didn’t know very well. Courtney put me at ease as soon as I met her. I could tell she really cared about taking care of Sadie the way I wanted her to be taken care of and Sadie warmed up to her right away. Courtney is great at what she does and very dependable. My only complaint is that she doesn’t have more availability, but that speaks to what a great dogsitter/walker she is and how many people want her services!
Jason was great! Came to meet Duke before officially being booked which I really appreciated and made me feel more comfortable. It was the first time leaving Duke alone since moving here so I was a bit stressed about it. Jason was super communicative, on time and kept me posted on everything. On one of the days Duke had a little accident inside the apartment and Jason without hesitation cleaned up, it also rained on a different day and made sure to dry him off and keep him comfortable, I just really appreciated the attention to detail. Definitely would recommend and I’m already rebooking him for additional dates.
