    Simply the BEST pet care in the area! I have a high drive German Shepherd who chases his tail with separation anxiety. Alex is great with him, and I am at ease knowing he's in such good hands. She has boarded him in her home and keeps me updated with cute pictures and thoughtful check-ins. She has so much passion for animals, which has been evident with my pooch's care. I highly recommend Alex and the crew at While You Were Out for trustworthy and loving pet care!

    I knew I liked Alex from our first phone call and she proved to be very professional and a true animal lover.

    We had such a great experience with Dog Duty in Campbell! Catalina, the owner, was incredibly…read morehelpful 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!

    I think the sign of a good business, at least one that looks after their customers, is the owner's…read moretrue 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.

    I have 3 dogs that can be a little bratty at times so I needed a dog walker that could handle that…read more I interviewed 3 other people but knew right away that Julie was the right one. She wasn't just someone trying to make a little money. She is good at it and loves it. That showed right away. I needed someone to walk and care for my dogs and feed my cat while I go back home to visit family for a week. I got regular updates while I was gone and could tell my dogs were well cared for when I got home. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone needing a professional for their pups.

    Juli is amazing -- and she's been a lifesaver for me. I have an American Field Labrador who can be…read morequite a handful and is extremely energetic. Bella just loves Juli, and gets so excited every time she see's her - so much so that any car resembling Juli's can send Bella into a complete meltdown if it doesn't stop and pick her up! Juli is extremely dependable, and has the highest integrity. I trust her implicitly and know by dog will be well taken care of when I leave her in Juli's care. She even texts me with updates after she's dropped Bella off, and it's a relief for me to know that my dog is just fine at home - happy and tired - so I don't have to worry. Juli clearly loves what she does, and best of all Juli's dogs love her as much as she loves them. I highly recommend Juli to anyone in need of a dog sitter or dog walker... I don't know what I'd do without her and appreciate all that she does for my dog.

I trusted them completely with access to my home and caring for my dog. They are kind, reliable people who truly care about animals. I highly recommend their pet walking services in the South San Jose area.

    I seriously can't recommend Michelle enough. Let me tell you why…read more I was having my neighbor check in on my dogs while I was out of town, but my pups really missed us and began barking every minute of the day from sunrise to 1am. Desperate to get my pups more calm and my neighbors more sleep, I contacted Michelle to see if she could come by to walk my babies each day until I came back, which was a huge ask since she didn't meet my dogs or meet me! However, she was so flexible and made it happen. I have one pup that Is SOOO scared of people and won't walk even when other people try to walk her so I was nervous she wasn't gonna walk (or that she would bite Michelle for trying to put on her harness). But Michelle was so professional and spent extra time calming them to get them out on their walk. By the second day, my doggies knew Michelle and allowed her to walk them. On top of that, I kinda messed up a couple times with scheduling and Michelle was really patient and understanding with me . I really appreciate business owners like Michelle and would recommend her to everyone. 10/10
