Jen and her walkers are an excellent resource. My dog has gotten once-weekly neighborhood walks for years. They're always friendly and reliable, and Jen is very responsive. When I had cancer and needed extra help, Jen made me feel like she had me covered. Linus has liked every one of his walkers over the years, and I've trusted them all with my dog. Linus used to be dog reactive, and still wants to chase cats, and everyone has handled him with professionalism and competence. Highly recommend JDWS. read more

Jen and her team have been a life saver for our wild and chaotic family. We are so grateful for the loving care Jen, Ashley and Tyler provide to our babies. I never worry when Gus and Granger are out with Jen and her team; they take care of our babies like they're their own. I appreciate the communication and flexibility that Jen provides. We always get updates and great photos and videos. We have demanding jobs and 3 teens in the house so we sometimes have last minute additions. They ALWAYS figure out a way to help us. I feel so thankful to have found Jen and her team. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to help get their dogs out! read more

Our very active pup, Colonel, has been getting walks with Jen and her team for almost 2 years now. When we started Colonel was still working on loose leash walking and they helped us get her really solid on that so she is able to now go on walks with other dogs, which she loves. Colonel is always so excited when she hears her walkers coming up to the door and comes back from her walks nice and tired! They also send us the cutest pictures every day when she is out on her walk- can't recommend Jen and her team enough! read more

Jen's Dog Walking Service - Dog Walkers Near Me

We've been getting Jen's help for walking our dog for almost two and half years now. And we've worked with at least one other dog walker and spoken to more, so... this is coming from experience. Jen's dog walking services and team are the most professional team I've ever experienced. We love our dog and we obviously want her to be happy, cared for, and exercised when she gets taken for a walk / dog park. And Jen and her team do exactly that. My dog is happy and tired when she is dropped back home. And Jen can drop her off at the office if I so request, which is something we really appreciate Jen gives a clear heads up via text for when she'd arrive. Sends you a good description of dog park adventures with pics/videos. And has a defined and very reasonable protocol for billing, handling holidays, breaks ad-hoc requests. If you're looking for a pro to walk your dog while you're home on a regular basic, Jen is your person. We honestly couldn't ask for more read more

Jen and her team have been my life savers these past 6 years. I consider her, and Aly, to be like extensions of my family because they have meant so much to my Vada and Frankie. Our family lost Frankie to cancer almost two weeks ago, and Jen is the ONLY pet professional in our lives that sent us her condolences formally via a card in the mail ON TOP OF the numerous other ways that she shared her own grief in our dear baby boy's passing. Not even the vet office (ahem, Adobe) that euthanized our boy has done this. Jen is top notch and professional. She provides every owner references, copies of her insurance, and more. You know from the get go that you are working with someone who takes her profession and care for your pet very seriously - she did not just willy nilly decide to just walk dogs one day (and I'm a former Rover walker myself along with my sister in law). Jen always schedules an initial family/pet interview to ensure both sides are comfortable and allow for any questions. I find Jen's rates to be extremely reasonable and competitive. They may be slightly more than the neighborhood kid or other folks may charge you, but ^^^ see above ^^^. Jen truly will care about and adore your babies as if they are her own, and she upholds these same standards with members of her team. For the past few years Frank and Vada were primarily walked by Aly who I absolutely adore as do Frank and Vada. Aly takes the most gorgeous pictures of the dogs with detailed descriptions of their daily outings (I get more and better updates from Jen and Aly than I do from my toddler's daycare ). Aly - thank YOU for being somewhat I trust COMPLETELY. Again. I honestly don't know what I would have done without this team. I moved to Cali from Michigan with my husband with all of our family far away in Michigan. Without family support, and with my husband completing his surgery residency, I was terrified in my early days. Jen, and eventually Aly, allowed me to THRIVE in my own journey here because I knew Frank and Vada were supported beyond just me. We are sadly moving out of Jen's immediate service area, and I will be working primarily remote for the foreseeable future, but I do intend to work with Jen and Aly for ANY extended trips I have to take, and am planning to engage them for periodic dog socialization outings for our Vada girl who is still with us and any future doggos who join our pack. If you read my entire review your decision should be made. Choose Jen to care for your baby read more

Jen's Dog Walking Service - Frankie, Collie Mix and Vada, Labrador Retriever - Dog Walkers Near Me

I'm not sure I can say enough about this service. I reached out to Jen after reading all of the glowing reviews and the other glowing reviews were spot on. She is wonderful with dogs, and very professional in how she conducts her business. She started our first meeting by sitting on the ground with our dog to get to know them, then proceeded to show us copies of her business license, proof of insurance, and other documents to show that this is a real business. Our dog immediately took to her (as she does for most people). She ended up assigning our dog (a Pembroke Welsh Corgi) to Alison to take her to the park, initially 2 times a week (we upped it to 3 times a week shortly thereafter). I've watched our dog grow, become more confident, and even faster, trying to keep up with her new friends who are much taller than her. She absolutely LOVES Alison and the photos and videos help us see how she's doing at the park. Although I can only speak to Jen and Alison, but if Alison is the type of person that Jen hires and trusts with other people's dogs, I am sure that the other people she has in her team are just as good. From when I first reached out to now, my wife and I have only felt more assured that we made the right decision to work with Jen's Dog Walking Service. The rates are reasonable, customer (and dog) service is spectacular, and our dog comes home each time happy and exhausted. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

There is no one other than Jen's Dog Walking for me and my pups. Jen and her team are the absolute best. Trustworthy, always on time, consummate dog people, and they can easily manage my more challenging pup who is skittish. I will always stick with Jen! read more

For the past two years Aly and Jen have taken the most amazing care of our lab Banks. I cannot write enough good things about the love and attention they gave Banks every day during his walks, and when I would have Banks stay over night when I was out of town on business. I recently relocated to Southern California and the hardest part about leaving Mountain View was knowing Banks wouldn't get to see Aly and all of his doggie pals that he walked with and played with at the park. Thank you Aly and Jen for loving our boy like he was your own! If you're looking for a dog walker who is kind, goes above and beyond to flex to your schedule, and keep your dog happy, Aly and Jen are the best around. Banks misses you already!!! read more

Jen has been taking our energetic GSD, Sierra, out for park visits and walks for years. Her service is wonderful and reasonably priced. We use her every day to supplement Sierra's mental and physical exercise. Professionalism - She is incredibly professional and responsive, always available over text and email and has gracefully dealt with times that I have forgotten to notify her of vacations. She notifies me of new staff members and brings them for shadow walks to meet the dog. She has offered me longer services to meet Sierra's energy needs, again, at reasonable prices. Jen and her team send us pictures and an update (including how healthy Sierra's poops are since they know it's a concern of mine!). Expertise - I have issues with Sierra pulling on the leash and lunging at critters, but Jen and her team are able to manage her well. They also set her up with a pack or partners, which helps Sierra behave on her walks. They clearly have good dog handling expertise. Covid - Jen has been flexible during covid and respectful of my wishes to leave my dog outside instead of entering the house, as she used to do when I was at the office. She uses her own leash now to minimize germ transfer. She's been responsive to my requests. The best review of course comes from our dog. We had used a different service to begin with and our dog would run and hide whenever that walker came around. When Jen or her team arrives, our dog flips out and rushes to leave with them. If we encounter them at the local dog parks, Sierra immediately recognizes them and runs over to say hi. She clearly considers Jen and her team an integral part of her pack. With Jen, you are working directly with a person, not a company. You get personal service and flexibility. read more

Jen's was not the first company I contacted when I needed help walking my dog but they're certainly the ones I chose to move forward with. I reached out to two others before I found her here on yelp and was immediately taken by their professionalism. I received a message back within minutes and instantly felt like this was the right fit! We scheduled a meet and greet interview and I was pleasantly surprised to have both, the business owner and the dog handler who would be walking my pup, to meet and shake hands with. During our meeting, my 7 month old was growing a bit anxious and the way the dog handler responded was just absolutely perfect! I knew my fur baby would be in the best hands at Jen's and I'd highly recommend their service to anyone who needs a honest, reliable, convenient dog walking service in the South Bay! read more

I have been working with Jen for about a year now and are so thrilled to have found her. Aly on Jen's team is our designated dog walker, and she is an absolute gem. I have worked with many dog walkers over the years and can say with certainty that Jen's dog walking services are unparalleled. Interacting with both Aly and Jen feels like having a concierge dog walking service. They are both so professional, reliable, trustworthy, and they clearly genuinely care about the well being of our dog. I look forward to my daily text from Aly with updates from the walk as well as pictures of my dog that look like they have been shot by a professional pet photographer! If you live in Mountain View and are looking for a dependable dog walker, Jen is by far your best bet. read more

I am so lucky to have met Jen in the parking lot of our apartment complex right when we got our puppy! She was walking a neighbors dog, and within 24 hours, she came by our place to meet our pup, explain her business, and ease our fears about leaving our little guy while we were at work. Now, over a year later we still love Jen and all her amazing walkers. Jen's attentive to our schedule changes, we get picture updates after every walk and we know that our dog is gets all the love on his walks. We truly appreciate the daily walks that Jen and her team provide!! It makes going to work so much easier knowing our dog is taken care of! read more

Jen's Dog Walking Service - Stanley enjoying his midday walk! - Dog Walkers Near Me

When we moved into our condo two years ago (2011), the dogs (an alpha American Eskimo and her larger mixed-breed daughter) were a little too noisy for the neighbors while we were at work. The solution - mid day-dog walks which would give them bathroom relief and burn off some energy. Enter Jen. Although my older dog is VERY wary of strangers, Jen persevered and won both dogs' trust. Four star service! What got Jen the fifth star was last December when we had a family emergency between Xmas and New Years that we had to travel for. Boarding places were ALL full, even our regular place. Jen doesn't board dogs, but because we had our backs to the wall she took our two dogs for a few days so we could sort our family situation out. That's a level of dedication and service you can't buy. I'll be a reference for her any time. read more

Jen has been walking our dog Dodger daily for 2 months now. We were happy to find a dog walker comfortable walking bigger dogs, as ours is an enthusiastic and energetic 60lbs pitbull mix. Dodger now enjoys a regular pee break and mid-day exercise, in addition to daily socialization with her dogs during his walks. We love that she and Katie, her part-time walker, leave a note after each walk, letting us know what time they walked and how it went. We also receive pictures of our happy pup on his walks now and then, which is a nice pick-me-up at work. Jen is very professional. We had an initial meeting where she came over to meet our dog and discuss what services we wanted. She carries insurance for her business and making payments is very convenient, as she accepts online transfers. She is easily reachable via email or text, and very flexible with scheduling. She provides advance notice on days she is not available, which is helpful for planning. read more

Jen is great with my 2 Labradors! They each weigh about as much as her, but she manages to wrangle them both like a good cowgirl! She is definately a dog person, and trustworthy. Jen is the Standard for all other dog walkers to live up to! read more

We recently moved away from Mountain View and were so sad to not be able to use Jen anymore! Our crazy 2 year old labrador definitely grew attached to her and her staff... and my husband and I grew attached to her responsiveness, professionalism and sunny personality. Jen cares deeply about the dogs she walks -- when our pup hurt his paws right before we were supposed to leave town, she volunteered to have him stay with her so he wouldn't have to go for a boarding free-for-all. Payment is super convenient. I loved being able to do online transfer vs. writing a check all the time. Who writes checks anymore? Plus, I always get the cutest pictures of his daily walks with his friends. read more

I'm so incredibly happy that I found Jen through a recommendation by a coworker. She is prompt in responding and I met her 2 days after my initial inquiry. She came over with Aly, one of her dogwalkers. I liked them both immediately. Jen is very professional while being friendly and human. Aly has been walking my dog Phoebe for the past 2 months and we couldn't be happier. She sends photos with updates on poops and walks, and Phoebe ADORES her. I'm so happy I found Aly and Jen. Definitely the best experience I've had in a dogwalker/dogsitter and I've been through many. read more

I've used Jen to care for our dog since he was a puppy -- she's amazing. She's professional, reliable, and absolutely adores our dog and treats him as if he was a part of her family. When she found our dog was sick she stayed with him until I could come home from work (and rinsed all the diarrhea off of him before I got home), when I went into labor with my first child she was available at short notice to take care of our pup at odd hours. She goes above and beyond, I trust her 100%! read more

Have had nothing but the best experience With Jen as our family dog walker. I loved the fact that I felt worry free knowing Jen was walking our furry family member during the week. She was always timely, honest and great with our dog. read more

Jen and her staff are true professionals. Changing up our schedule is a cinch with just an email or text. Billing is hassle free with plenty of electronic options. We always get a summary text and picture about how the walk went, and they also keep an eye out on our home and let us know if anything seems awry. Of course they're great with our dog, too. He always looks like he's having such a good time with them! read more

Jen has walked our dog for almost 4 years now and we could not be more happy with her!Jen is extremely responsive, flexible, and most importantly takes great care of our pup. We recommend Jen with the highest regards to neighbors and friends. Thank you Jen for all you do! read more

Jen is a great dog walker. I originally hired her while recovering from a leg injury and now that I am mobile again I kept her on. My dog adores her and she truly loves her canine clients. I usually would walk Jada at night after work but a midday walk breaks up her day. Prices are reasonable and hours are flexible. Very trustworthy and fully insured too. She has never missed a day rain or shine. She takes electronic payments. read more

Jen's Dog Walking Service - I can't wait to go for a walk with Auntie Jen! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Happy 2017! I cannot believe I haven't written a review yet for Jen and her staff. I've been utilizing her services for almost a year now (thanks to my neighbor!) for my small dog Noodle-bug for daily dog-walking Monday-Thursday, as well as walking and feedings on occasion when I've traveled. 5 Stars just not do Jen or her team justice. I have had different walkers throughout Noodle-bug's 4 years on this planet, but she's most happy and attached to these ladies. The days I stay home to work from home, I'll keep the schedule going - and when Jen, Christine, or whomever else shows up to walk her -- it's like this excitement I've never really seen out of Miss Noodle. And it's awesome. ;) So neat to see my dog have a connection and excitement to some really great dog walking people! When Jen needs to bring on additional help, she's VERY organized and makes sure that your dog meets and approves of the newbie, and they all 3 will go on a few walks before she hands the reigns fully over to the newest walker. Pics each day and sometimes quick videos keep me cracking up at work. read more

Jen is great with dogs. Highly recommend Jen for walking and caring your precious furry friends.

My dog and I just moved here from Philadelphia and I knew I would need a dog walker right away. After making many phone calls and getting frustrated by people not calling back and trying to charge ridiculous rates (more then double what I paid back east!) I finally found Jen on Craigslist and called. She called me back right away and was able to come meet me and Billy that night when I got off work. Billy (who can be a little suspicious of people) warmed right up to her and plopped his 95lb. furry self right into her lap! After calling the references she provided for me and hearing nothing but praise I hired her the next day and she was able to start immediately! Ever since working for me she has been flexible and even able to accomadate some last second needs. Her prices are incredibly reasonable compared to others in the area. I highly reccomend Jen to take care of your furry family member! read more

Jen has been my dog walker for over a year now. I am very grateful to have found her for my terrier's daily walks. We got our little guy when one of us was not working. When we both started working 4 months later we were concerned about leaving him during the day. He was use to attention, going to the bathroom and for a walk during the day. I did not know Jen prior to contacting her about her service. Right when I met her I saw her warm personality towards my dog! Now Jen comes by daily to visit him, take him for a healthy walk, and play with him. My dog is definitely very protective of his home, so I know this is probably a challenge for anyone to come by, even if does know you. I believe Jen is very scheduled and consistent with my dog. I know he gets walks in, he gets the treats I leave, and gets his feet wiped. Jen has given some good suggestions along the way. I love the fact that she is environmentally conscience too. Other great things about her is that she is flexible, has good rates, is not afraid to clean up barf, and she has coverage if for some reason she is not available (which is hardly ever). I think she is great part of my dog's life and definitely recommend her. read more

Jen responded quickly to my request for dog walking and we set up a meet. She came with copies of her business license, insurance and references. So, I was immediately impressed with her professionalism. We discussed my needs and she was flexible about times, etc. She has a backup person for when she is unavailable. My dog seems to like her. She seem to like and know dog behavior. What more could I ask for. read more

Jen has been walking our two dogs for 1.5 years now. She takes great care of the dogs and I completely trust her. It's great to see that our dogs are always super excited to see her, and I love the photos and videos she shares of the happy dogs from the dog park visits. read more

I have been using Jen for a few months now. Mia (2yr old female pitty) just loves her. Jen has been extremely accommodating when it comes to my rotating work schedule which makes my life much easier. Thank you Jen ! read more

Jen has walked my dog for almost a year. She is flexible, trustworthy, and reliable! I get a picture or video every time she walks my dog and she makes sure he has enough water when she brings him home. It is a comfort to know he is in such good hands. read more

My sister moved in to my house and found Jen to walk her dogs. I added my dog into the mix. My sweet girl Kona usually will not go out of my house let alone off of my street with other people. Jen surprised me and got Kona out of my house and off of my street. Kona actually went on a walk. I am so happy and thrilled with the service, that I am continuing the dog walks after my sister leaves next week. Jen is very kind and gentle with the dogs. I could not ask for anyone better!!!! read more

Jen is awesome! I have a very special dog (retired police working dog). This dog is fiercely independent and large in size. Jen met and put my dog at ease. She is very organized, understands dogs and is extremely organized. She is professional, timely and flexible...my schedule is fluid in nature and Jen is very accommodating. Her prices are very fair and she is insured. I looked at several dog walkers in the area and Jen I'm convinced is by far the best!! read more

Jen walked and watched our dog for almost two years. She was a terrific dog walker and dog-care giver. She was on time, responsive to emails and special requests, worked with our schedule and, most importantly was great with our dog. I knew that our dog would be well taken care of when being watched by Jen. In emergencies, Jen was also able to walk our dog on short notice, on more than one occasion. We only stopped using Jen because we were moving out of town, but I would try and use her services right away if I move back to the area. I hope to find a dog walker who is as reliable and loved by my dog in my new place, as we had with Jen. read more

Jen is THE BEST thing that Mountain View has to offer...no joke. I called Jen because I previously had a not so great experience with another dog walker in the area. Jen spent so much time on the phone with me and listened to all the quirks my dog, Brody, has. Then, she came to our apartment and spent an hour with us just to get to know Brody, but more importantly, to ensure that he was in good hands. Brody adores Jen! My boyfriend and I get fun texts each day about Brody's daily adventures. There's always a picture or video that comes along with the text. Brody is a somewhat difficult dog to manage outside the house - he pulls, barks at other dogs (generally doesn't like them and gets overwhelmed by them) - the whole nine yards. WELL, Jen somehow has managed to introduce Brody to not one, not two, but three dogs in the last several months since she's been walking him! He walks with his "girlfriend" just about every day. We get really fun updates about their blooming love. Last but not least, she has taken Brody to the park, completely unprompted. She is literally amazing and 10000% worth the business. I cannot recommend her more! read more
