We had such a great experience with Dog Duty in Campbell! Catalina, the owner, was incredibly helpful and accommodating, she made a last-minute weekend dog-sitting request happen with ease. Our dog's caregiver, Diane, was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the weekend, which gave us such peace of mind. It's clear that the Dog Duty team truly cares about the pets they look after. We will 1,000% be using Dog Duty for all our future pet-sitting needs! Highly recommend! read more

I think the sign of a good business, at least one that looks after their customers, is the owner's true passion shown towards their work. In this case, the passion is directed toward the animals for which Catalina cares. A massive amount of trust is necessary, at least for me, in order to leave my beloved animals with someone and I do this with ease knowing that Dog Duty will not only care for my animals but also show them love and affection whilst I travel. I have 5 cats and a dog and have no worry leaving them with Catalina for weeks at a time, due to work. I personally recommend them to anyone looking for not just care for their animals but the peace of mind that they pets will be loved and cared for. Additionally, and perhaps equally as important, Catalina is a great communicator and leaves you with no concern about what's happening back home when you're away. I love working with her and am truly grateful to have found such a good pet sitter. read more

Dog Duty is the ONLY sitter I trust with my dog. My dog runs to greet Catalina and never looks back! I have been using them for many years and trust them completely to love and care for my dog (and they cared for my last dog, also). They are professional, licensed and I would 100% recommend their sitters. Just love them!!!! Thank you! read more

Dog Duty - Dog Walkers Near Me

Gini does an awesome job walking our dog Millie, a stoic Blue Lacy. When Gini is busy with other pups Scott jumps right in. At first our dog doesn't like strangers and I took some time to get them acclimated to Gini and Scott by walking together a few times. After that Millie loves them! It's been a couple years and we are super happy to have Dog Duty caring for our crazy pup! Attaching one of the great photos Dog Duty sent us! read more

I reached out (somewhat last minute) for overnight care for my two big, young dogs over Memorial Day Weekend. Diane stayed with my boys and was so lovely. I can tell they are all such dog lovers and know how to care for my animals. The house was also left spotless. I will definitely be using them again! read more

These guys are the best. My two dogs can now even recognize the sound of our walkers car and start to go nuts when they hear it. I feel completely at ease when I ask Dog Duty to watch over our dogs when gone. We get txt updates and photos letting us know we can be easily replaced! (ha) read more

Scott is truly a dog whisperer! He was amazing with my skittish and scared rescue and our 110 pound "Moose" rescue for bathing. I couldn't believe it, they fell in love him during the bath and when they were done . They now smell and feel wonderful. Gini is a doll. She was so gracious to understand our fluctuating dates/appointments. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any of your fur babies needs. Thank you Gini and Scott. read more

Dog Duty - Two happy dogs thanks to Scott - Dog Walkers Near Me

I met Gini through mutual friends before I hired her to care for my catty-kit over Xmas 2009. Gini is one of the most warm, caring, and genuine individuals I've ever met. There was *absolutely no question* in my mind that she was the perfect person to take care of my boy. Her rates are very reasonable and the extent of the services that she offers are very handy - whether you are going on vacation or you need help getting your pet to that important vet appointment that your boss just scheduled a meeting on top of. Gini is your gal. She even sent me a digital photo of my fuzzball as a Xmas surprise since she knew I missed him. How sweet is that? I would not hesitate to recommend her again and again. read more

Gini and Scott are awesome! I love that they were able to offer a custom chauffeuring service to daycare for my dog due to my early work start situation. They are very timely (if not immediate) with responding to any of my texts/emails. Communication is 100%. They have been very accommodating to my requests and I couldn't be more appreciative. Excellent service that my dog can attest to :). Good vibes all around! read more

Dog Duty - Dog Walkers Near Me

Gini is a gift from heaven. It's not easy trusting others to take care of my dogs and from the time I met her and Scott, I knew this would be a great fit for us. I've been using them for about a year now for dog walking and for some pet sitting. They're very accommodating with my schedule. They also leave nice notes every day about where they took our dogs and anything interesting that happened. My dogs are like my family and I would not trust their care to anyone other than them. I can't recommend enough. Your pets will agree, they're the next best thing to you! read more

This is one of the best services I ever signed up for. I never have to worry about any of my dog responsibilities I hate, mostly picking up their poo :). They are super affordable, and great to work with. We just moved out of the area and I don't know what I'm going to do without them. read more

My husband and I have used Dog Duty on a few occasions, and been very happy with their service. We have a 9 year old Great Dane and a 5 year old Pug, and they seem to really like Gini and her husband. Finding a sitter for a Dane can be tricky, as we want someone who is confident and comfortable. At the initial meeting, GIni immediately began playing with both pups. We are so glad we found Dog Duty (via Yelp! and that we can feel at ease when we take trips! We LOVE getting pictures and updates of our boys while we are gone. I'm not gonna lie- I was a bit "weirded out" by the idea of having a stranger stay at our house while we are gone, but now I am so glad that we've found someone we can trust to do so. I just know this is the best thing for our dogs. They love being in their own home, and having someone there with them! read more

Dog Duty - Dog Duty watches dogs of all sizes! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Scott cared for my dog Peanut when I lived in San Jose while I was both working full time and in night school. He always sent me a photo of Peanut with the most hilarious commentary of what Peanut might have been thinking. While going through Peanut's things since he died, I found some of our interactions and even with the tears, I found immense joy. Thank you for taking care of me and my beloved so much. read more

Gini is amazing! She and her company are wonderful to work with and have taken such good care of our senior cat -- and, by extension, us! We had an unusual situation where we needed to place our cat in someone's care for two months (without boarding him) and she was able to help us find a good place for him. She's taken such great are of our kitty (who has a lot of issues because he's so old), sending photos and updates while we're gone. She's so easy to communicate with, follows-up quickly, and is very trustworthy. She genuinely loves animals and it shows in how she cares for them. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

We have two mid to large size dogs, and we've never been a fan of cleaning up the yard. I had a scooper at another house and she no longer serviced Mt. View, so several years ago, I contacted Gini and we met, and my daughter and I fell in love with her! Herself and all her staff are incredibly friendly, don't mind my dog Jack showing them around the yard to wherever him and his sister Sassy happened to go, and they always have treats to give out. The best part about Gini's service, is that on a moment's notice, I can call or text her and she will arrange to have someone come over and let the dogs out, feed them, hang out with them for a bit, so that they aren't cooped up all day without a break. Whenever we go away on vacation or if we need anything pet related, Gini and her team are the first people we call, even before we make reservations! Always leaves detailed notes, and will let us know if anything happens with them. Our old dog Sassy isn't too keen on strangers, so Gini is usually the only one that watches the kids, which just shows you how dedicated she is to the care and wellbeing of our babies. Even now, with some new developments with the animals, she's responsive and jumps to assist in whatever way she can. And she loves all animals too...our cats love her too! Can't say enough about her! Definitely highly recommended! read more

I was quite nervous about hiring a dog sitter, but I am so glad to have found Gini and Dog Duty. I mean, entrusting a total stranger with my house key AND my dog can be quite risky. But when I met Gini, I knew I needed to look no further. The rate was reasonable and Gini sent me a brief report and a pic of my dog while I was away. I'd most definitely recommend this business if anyone needs a petsitting service. read more

I have been using Dog Duty for quite a while now and I continue to be more and more pleased with the service! My dog Scout is very picky about who he will spend time with and he just adores Gini and runs to the door the second her car pulls up. She always leaves me an update on how he did during his walk/playtime and alerts me to any potential issues - or shares cute stories about what he did. The service is so reliable, I know Gini will always be there when she says and provide my pet with the extra love he needs! Ten stars for Dog Duty! read more

Dog Duty - Scout & Lola - happy customers! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Since finding Dog Duty in November of 2009, going on vacation or day trips without our little Maltese Benny has become easier on my husband and I! At first I was really uneasy with giving total access to my home and my dog, but after meeting Jill (who works with Gini) of Dog Duty, checking her references, and verifying insurance, I was put at ease! Benny is an incredibly social dog that always wants to be in our company, so leaving him at home for extended periods always broke my heart! Now when my husband and I can't be home at a decent hour to walk and play with Benny, I know I can always contact Jill. Each half hour walk/visit is $20 + $10 on major holidays. Jill has also stayed overnight ($55 a night) at our place to care for and keep Benny company while we were on vacation. She always leaves the house exactly as she found it and will even water plants, bring in mail, and turn on/off lights at your request. Dog Duty is a wonderful and affordable service and Jill is GREAT!! read more

I had never used a pet sitter before but thought we'd try it for our two dogs during a week and a half long vacation. Yelp came to our rescue once again by providing a few solid options, but after reading the reviews and trading a couple emails with Gini, I knew we had found the right person. We met before the trip so Gini could me the dogs and she gave us the rundown on how she works, her pricing (competitive) and how she takes care of not just our dogs, but our house as well. We felt very comfortable with her and knew our dogs would be in good hands. While we were on our vacation, we got text messages almost every day telling us how well the dogs were doing. This was really nice for us as we had never gotten that sort of communication from a kennel or vet before. Whenever we communicated with Gini her responses were immediate. When we came home, our house was as we left it and our dogs were happy and clean (she gave them a bath!). We love our dogs and it was great that Gini fell in love with them too. We will definitely call her for our next trip. read more

Some people are just "dog people". They come and pet our dogs on walks or while we're at dinner on a dog-friendly patio, and our dogs take to them immediately. Gini and Scott are quintessential dog people. They've been watching our dogs since the early 2000's. During that period I can truly say I've never once worried about our dog's well-being in their care. They have shepherded my Pitbull from puppy to old age, and have been just as attentive to her needs as an older dog as they were to her needs as a puppy. Our 2 year old French Mastiff is anything but easy, yet they've taken phenomenal care for him and he absolutely loves seeing Gini. Any dog owner knows it can be difficult going on vacation, but we're definitely at ease knowing that Gini and Scott are caring for our pups. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone I know in need of pet care. I trust them implicitly, not only with my dogs, but with our home. read more

Best service in town!!! Dog Duty is wonderful!! Gini, Scott & Jill take such good care of our Lab Elvis... they walk, play, pick up after him and have Dog/Cat sat for us. We can't even say "Gini" in our home or Elvis will go crazy. Dog Duty is responsible and trustworthy. They always go above and beyond... it is the best money spent!! We had tried other services and Elvis wouldn't even let them through the gate. Gini and team have a special touch... and the treats don't hurt either! We love Dog Duty and so does Elvis... The "King" wouldn't steer you wrong, give them a call. read more

I was looking for a sitter for my dog and two cats while we were away on vacation for a week and a half. I emailed a number of pet sitters I found on yelp with the intention of interviewing a lot of candidates. I admit my emails were a little verbose when it came to describing my pets and their caregiving needs. Of the responses I got, Gini's stood out as the best. She clearly read my whole email and even took the time to visit links I included to their catster and dogster profiles. She also answered in great detail the different options and pricing of pet care they could provide as I wasn't sure if I wanted to board my dog instead of leaving him at home along with the cats. Upon meeting Gini and Scott for an interview, I knew immediately I could trust them. They are both friendly, warm and clearly knowledgable about caring for animals. One of my cats is very high maintenance: needing daily medication and special food. At the time of the interview, he was also having trouble eating. I was having to hand feed him. The possibility of this didn't phase them nor did she raise the price of the quote she gave me. So I was a little disappointed when Gini later informed me that their recent hire, Kevin, would be caring for my pets instead of them. But after meeting Kevin, I felt at ease. He was very attentive to my instructions and asked all the right questions. He also has a gentle disposition and my cat and dog took to him right away. Kevin turned out to be fantastic. We had him care for our cats (ended up boarding the dog). He sent me multiple emails over the course of our trip, keeping me updated on my babies. Despite my confidence in Kevin, I still worried a little about the cats. Moe, the high maintenance cat, is also scared of strangers, so poor Kevin had to "hunt" for him under sofas and beds in order to make sure he got his meds. But by the end of our trip Kevin gained Moe's trust. Kevin sent me a photo of Moe sitting in his lap letting him pet him. Once I saw that, I was no longer worried. Lastly, I want to mention that their rates were very reasonable. I gathered many quotes from different caregivers and while they were all fairly comparable, it was the special needs of my one cat that tended to skew the rate higher with other vendors. Gini did not charge extra for giving my cat medication. I highly recommend Dog Duty and will definitely call on them again when the need arises. Side note: I've been using yelp for searches for years, but never felt compelled to create an account and write a review till now. I really wanted to share my review of Dog Duty. read more

Hey all! If you need responsible and caring help with your fur baby Dog Duty is the place to call! Gini is the best! She is professional, on time, caring and committed to making your fur baby and your needs happy what ever they be! We used Dog Duty when we lived in NorCal. Since our move our puppies and family miss her and her service very much! Give Dog Duty a call for all your pet needs and know you are in good paws! read more

I cannot say enough good things about the pet care offered by Dog Duty. I have used their services twice now, once for a few afternoons walks and once for multiple overnight visits. Both times, I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff member I worked with (he sent me pictures and text updates without even being asked). I have no problem admitting that I'm a helicopter mother to my 11-year old Labrador, and I'm incredibly picky about who walks or stays with him. Dog Duty set my mind at ease and allowed me to take the first long vacation I've had in years. I'm so grateful for this company and appreciate all of the hard work! read more

This is a great service!!! Especially when I am out of town and my husband can't get home in time to let my doggy out. Gini is awesome and takes great care of my Pico. She's always sends me a txt when she is done and tells me about our their funny run in's around the neighborhood!! Pico loves her...i think more than me. Pico always jumps off the couch for her...but never lifts a paw for me when i get home!! hahaha!!! Thanks Gini! read more

My dog passed away and I don't use Dog Duty anymore but Scott still looks out for me. He'll retrieve a package when I'm away and today he disarmed a smoke detector that was going off (he heard it while he was walking past). That's really a personal service, especially considering I'm not even a client now. I highly recommend this company! read more

Short story: Dog Duty is amazing. Hire them. They go above and beyond and really love the dogs they care for, they offer a wide range of services, and they offer very reasonable rates (some of the lowest I could find when I was looking). What more could you ask for? Long story: My dogs are spoiled. I spent a long time looking online at reviews for dog walkers and interviewing folks. When I met Gini and Scott, I, and my dogs (even the shy one) instantly fell in love. For years now Dog Duty has been taking extraordinary care of my little love bugs. They are always here when I need them, always flexible when I need them to be, and going above and beyond to do little things outside of their job description when they see that it's in the dogs' best interest or could make my life a little easier (cleaning up destroyed toy bits that have been scattered around the house, giving the dogs extra snuggles, taking them on a little adventure, helping with training, sending some of the best dog photo updates). When I've had to leave the dogs overnight, Dog Duty stays in my house so my dogs can be comfortable at home and not have to sleep alone (remember how I said they are spoiled?). When I've been home horribly sick and needed them to come walk the dogs despite being home, I swear the dogs get almost as excited to see them as me! And, if you're not convinced yet, my dad hired them at my suggestion to take care of his pets while he was out of town once and loved the work they did so much he ended up deciding to add regular walks into the dogs' schedules and now Dog Duty goes to his house regularly too not only to walk the dogs but also to comb them and help with vet visits. If you want a company that's going to just be setting their timer for 30 minutes and dutifully walking your dog(s) before dropping them off and charging you a high fee, fine, go with someone else. But, if you want someone reasonably priced that's going to love your dog as much as you do and make sure your dog has a blast for at least 30 minutes before they bring them home for a quick snuggle before they visit the next pup, hire Dog Duty. read more

As a former walker for Dog Duty, I can attest to how hard Gini and Scott work to make their clients happy. If you are looking for a great team of people to keep your animals safe and happy, look no further. read more

I've been working with Dog Duty for close to two months. My two dogs are walked for 30 minutes, 7 days per week. I want to go on the record saying that the group of people who make up this company are outstanding. Gini and Scott, the owners, are professional and responsive to everything you need relating to your schedule and/or your pets. The team of dog walkers they employ are very friendly and kind people who have handled my two (1 medium, 1 large) dogs who have few, if any, leash manners beautifully. I can't say enough about these folks. They're awesome! read more

Gini is my dog walker and I can't say enough about how great she is! I have three dogs so its not easy to walk them all but she does it twice a week and they love it. She spends at least 30-40 minutes with them and they look forward to her arrival. I just had a baby so I needed help walking our dogs since I can't take them all and the baby. I highly recommend Gini's service Dog Duty. Kathryn Willow Glen read more

Gini and Scott are great! They took very good care of our pets and our house while we were away. I highly recommend them and will most definitely be using them in the future. read more

I met Gini 4 years ago right after our "child" Lola came into our lives. Gini came over and interviewed us as much as we interviewed her to make sure that she covered all her basis with us about what our expectations were and what she would do for Lola during her visits. As far as our expectations, Gini and her staff at Dog Duty have exceeded each and every one of them! Gini and her staff love animals and are extremely diligent about their care and it totally shows when you see how animals react to them. My dog Lola is in LOVE with Gini, her husband Scott (who walks with her sometimes when he's off from his "real" job, and her coworker, Jill, who has "subbed in" for Gini when she has been ill. We trust all of them completely and have had them all stay in our home when we have gone on vacation. The dog walking services are great! We get a daily update in Lola's journal about how her visit went. When we have used the pet sitting services, they go above and beyond by taking in the mail and paper, watering plants, evening stripping the bed for us before we get home! This business is intelligently run, well priced, and most importantly, run with love. Dog Duty is the BEST! read more

Gini is a Fairy Dog Mother!!!!!!!!!! Gini has been walking our weiner dog every week day since July of 2009. She always goes above and beyond for Cody. Although we pay for her to walk him for 30 minutes a day, most of the time, she takes him for a few hours. Cody has totally changed since Gini started walking him. He would bark all day long, and stay up all night. Now, he usually is pretty exhausted when we get home from work. She spends time training him on her walks, so he is just a better behaved dog in general. When she stays at our home, she always cleans up after herself. Its like she was never there. We always come home to a happy dog no matter how long we are gone. We completely trust her to be in our home. Sometimes I worry that Cody will run away to Gini's apartment ;) She takes such good care of him! Leslie always fills in when Gini can't make and she watches my parent's dog, Lucy, when they leave town. She always does a top job too. My husband and I talk all the time about how grateful we are for Gini. I highly recommend Gini/Dog Duty for all your doggie needs! read more

Gini is awesome, I don't know what I would do w/o her. She is reliable, responsible and caring. My dogs love her and they don't just like anybody. When Gini watches our dogs while we are out of town, we never have to worry, and can enjoy ourselves. Thank you so much Gini!!! I highly recommend Dog Duty Inc., Gini goes above and beyond! read more

I love Gini and her Dog Duty team. More importantly, my 4 dogs (yes, 4) LOVE her. I found Dog Duty through Yelp and could not be more thrilled. Our boys get regular walks and are so excited when she comes through the door. When it is too hot to walk, she comes over and plays with them in the back yard while they do their business. She has also come to sit at our house while we are gone for the weekend and takes such good care of the dogs that I don't feel even an ounce of guilt for leaving them behind while I travel. We get regular updates while we are gone so that we know they are doing well. Gini is a life saver! I highly recommend Dog Duty to anyone looking for pet sitting or dog walking! read more

Gini and Scott are absolutely wonderful, a true gift to me and my little pup!! I feel extremely comfortable with either one of them caring for her in my absence...and I know she completely adores them both! She gets so ridiculously excited when she sees them come for her walks! Also, as an added bonus, I get daily text updates from Gini with fun photos of she and the pup letting me know her the days walks went! I really look forward to those texts to brighten my workday :) If you are looking for a reliable, flexible, dynamic team to care for your animal, seriously look no further! They are truly a part of my family now read more

We have been using Scott and Gini for a few years. They have given us the peace of mind we need to leave our 10 year old poodle mix while we vacation. Before we found Dog Duty we had trouble finding the right person(s) we could completely trust and are thrilled we can leave our "princess" and know she'll be loved and pampered. Scott and Gini really care and it shows! read more

I love love love Dog Duty. I have been with them for almost a year and they are wonderful! My dog is a bit neurotic and well has social issues. He has grown leaps and bounds with Leslie. I no longer have to leave his leash and harness on him. He lets Leslie dress him for their walks. She comes to let him out three times a week-I tell my dog it's a Leslie day when I leave. I get the look-years up, tail wagging. Gini and Leslie are fabulous! I highly recommend Dog Duty and if my dog could talk, I'm sure he would agree!! read more

Riley & Little He get so excited when Gini comes to stay! She plays with them and gives them loads of attention, which makes her very popular as an overnight dog sitter. I like also that Gini's husband is also there for backup if needed. They both came for the initial interview and we immediately liked them both. She's a pretty popular dog walker in Campbell and Willow Glen because of her affinity for dogs. She also does cats, by the way! After two years of experience with Gini, we continue to be pleased and recommend her every chance we get. read more

I don't know what I would do with out Dog Duty. I travel frequently for work and play and when I can't take my pups with me, I have to leave them with someone I trust. I know Gini only works with people that she has thoroughly interviewed and as a result I have not yet met someone on the dog duty team that I don't trust implicitly with my fur kids or being in my home. Not only do they show up and take care of them, they go above and beyond and actually snuggle and love them. My pups give them a 4 star review. Thank you for that peace of mind. read more
