They lost my dog! I was heading out for the weekend and asked for 4 day boarding. Otis (2.5 yrs old) and I went to meet them and everything seemed fine. I felt comfortable leaving him with people that seemed to be dog lovers themselves. -I told her this was his FIRST time staying anywhere but home. -I told her he's a VERY skittish dog. He's half shihtzu half chihuahua so the chihuahua half gets the best of him sometimes. -I told her he's a calm and behaved dog if he's in a controlled environment like a gated back yard or indoors, Ariana said she could tell and agreed. -I told her I was nervous as well, leaving my fur baby for the first time. -And lastly I told her that even as his owner, I don't trust him off his leash when we're out because of how easily he gets scared and can take off. Having explained all that to Ariana, 4/5 hours into his FIRST day I received a call that she had opened the door and he ran off. Why she opened the door without having a leash on him is beyond me! A dog you've had in your care for no more than a few hours, you can't ASSUME he's going to behave like the other dogs. It's inexcusable! If you expect or only want to care for dogs that "behave" like yours then you should specify what kind of business you want to run. If you are not able to care for dogs with different temperaments please let people know. REPLY: You did lose him. Luckily he was returned because of the GPS tracker he has. I made it clear that he runs if he's scared & this was his first time anywhere but home. That & the fact that he requires a GPS tracker in the first place because of his temperament, should have been enough to make it CLEAR to you what kind of care he requires. It was irresponsible for you to take him in. It's not about being nice, helpful, or you being "great people" to ME by taking in my dog. If you're trying to run a legitimate business you should be open about what you are capable or not capable of doing. I would much have rather you told me that he required too much attention for you to really care for him, than do what you did. Take him in, not watch him carefully enough & he escapes. Yes I don't trust him. He does get scared so he bolts. It's what he does, so even as his owner I always have him on a leash before opening doors. Like some dogs, if he sees an open door he will go for it. He didn't escape to happily frolic through your neighbor's yards. He was nervous his first day there. And the reason I'm replying is because you didn't even call me right away. He was already a mile away from your home when you contacted me. The pictures will show how far he was when I took the screenshot. I sent it to my emergency contact to show her exactly where he was while I was still on the phone with you. It also shows the date of March 3rd which proves it was the day he started his stay. Like I said, he bolts! He could've bolted into traffic during that whole mile chase where you decided to not call me first. read more

Last minute looking for a overnight stay for my dog was practically impossible for last-minute drop offs. Fortunately I found a great pet sitter who does over night stays to a week, which I needed. They took care of my dog Sam with walks, play time to the park and even took Sam for car rides. Sam was spoiled with love, care and treated like family. Daily updates with text messages on how he is doing, my favorite part while I was away from town. I am definitely referring this business to my friends and family that need a pet sitter while away out of town! read more

I originally reached out to Ariana on Sunday June 18 and we went back and forth online for a week before meeting at her place on Friday June 23 to make sure my dog was a good fit. Ariana was clear on price when we chatted and she informed me it would be cheaper to have my dog stay in her home rather than take care of him at mine in North San Jose - the rate was 55.00$. After agreeing on the rate, meeting in person and scheduling the stay for the 4th of July week/weekend I drive home (30 mins away). I was surprised to get a message from Ariana via FB letting me know she had to charge me an additional 10.00 a day for holiday rates. When I asked why she didn't mention it she explained, "everything happened so fast." We chatted online for a week and I visited your place for over an hour. Come on! Another thing I didn't like was that she jammed her fingers in the side of my dogs neck when he barked and said that was one of her tactics. The whole getup seems a little strange to me - definitely not professional (or trained with dogs). Updated Sept 17 2017 and in response to the response below from the business: My dog was accepted and I REFUSED to allow Him in your care due to your lack of integrity and your odd practices. And now I understand a dog has died in your care. YELPERS PLEASE! Do not bring your animals to this woman. Something is truly off with her! read more

Ariana and Jhonatan were very flexible about where to do the handover, and extremely punctual and responsive. My dog stayed at their home for 3 days, slept with them in their bedroom (even their own dogs didn't get that privilege!), ate home cooked dog lux-chow, got several walks in park every day - much better than his normal life with me lol I highly, highly recommend this service. Price is very reasonable, and Ariana and Jhonatan are experts handling dogs. I completely trust them with my pooch. read more

Dog-e-Sit & Fetch - Happy dog on a walk with Ariana! - Dog Walkers Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm a bit of a helicopter dog mom (and by a bit, I mean I am an absolute psycho), and I do not let just anyone care for Martin. Johnathan and Ariana were referred to me by a colleague, and I have to say that we are thrilled with their services! Martin tends to be a bit of a loner, and we love that he gets to hang out with multiple pups 4 times a week to increase his socialization while getting out of the house. The daily text updates with photos and videos are awesome and it's also incredible how visibly happy he is when he goes for his walks. My husband even jokes that Martin is more excited to see Jhonathan and Ariana than when we come home ;) Thank you for all you guys do for us, Martin is extremely happy with his new pack!!! read more

I read all the raving reviews of Ariana and Johnathan, and I am thankful those who wrote such raving reviews never had to experience what we had to experience...the VERY UNEXPECTED, UNTIMELY, AND VERY PROBABLE HORRIBLE DEATH OF OUR PUPPY! Tobi was barely 7 months old. He was a happy, VERY HEALTHY, funny and very loving puppy. When notified of his death, I was flabbergasted. i couldn't understand how a puppy who had just gone through several health tests, and per Ariana, "went outside to potty and JUST DIED..PROBABLY OF A HEART ATTACK". Really!!!! I THINK NOT!!! Especially since the necropsy showed Tobi suffered severe trauma with internal bleeding. There are other reviews indicating clients dissatisfaction. And one might say, "well there are more positive reviews and negative". TRUE! However, all of you who wish to continue your trust of Ariana and Johnathan with the care of your pets...your babies that you love and cherish...BEWARE! I wish I could post a picture of this beautiful puppy so that when you take your beloved pets to Dog-e-Sit & Fetch, Tobi's precious face would flash in your mind....and you might think twice. Don't ever think it can't happen to my dog....because it absolutely could!!! R. B. read more

My dog Bear has been working with Jhonatan & Ariana for almost a year now. So far, it's been a great experience! They are reliable, flexible and truly a joy to work with. Bear looks forward to their daily visits. read more

It is always a pleasure deal with Ariana and Jhonatan. These guys are very professional and really care about their business and clients. I highly recommend them for pet sitting. read more

This updated review is long overdue. Ariana and Jhonatan have been caring for our pup for nearly two years and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have such excellent caretakers for one of our most precious family members. J and A are incredibly flexible and accommodating to our ever-shifting schedules. The days we need care for our pup often changes from week to week and J and A are always responsive and going above and beyond to help us out. They provide lots of updates throughout the day, letting us know when our pup has been picked up and when he's home. They've also cared for our pup for several overnight stretches and we couldn't have more trust in them. Again, we get lots of updates while away and know that he's in good hands. Our pup is always happy to see them (and also happy to come home - often after being worn out from a day of activity) and we trust they treat our pup like family. We've also seen our pup (a rescue) have his behavior and social interaction greatly improve since being in the care and J and A - being much more confident and relaxed in social situations. We've had a great experience working with J and A and feel so fortunate our pup has such good care. read more

Ariana and Jonathan have been taking care of our labradoodle Roo for the last 6 months or so and we couldn't recommend them more. We can tell that they truly care about our dog and with my wife and I both working full time we are grateful that he gets the attention and exercise he deserves even on the days we can't swing it. We were worried we would lose them when we moved from San Jose to Los Altos and they kept up with the great service without skipping a beat. Thanks again guys. read more

Jhonatan and Ariana are the most amazing and kind dog whisperers. My dog is a total shy dog, and can freak out in new situations. They took the time to come to my house and observe his behavior (and my behavior), and they have taught me invaluable lessons about how to interact with him in various situations. I felt like I was on the Dog Whisperer show. They are uncannily astute in their interpretations of mood and behavior in both dogs and people... it's really impressive. My dog absolutely loves going to their place for doggie day care - it's like an awesome dog party every single day - and he falls asleep within 30 seconds of getting in the car when we pick him up. They send us photos and videos of what he's doing each day, which is really fun for us. Knowing that he is having a blast with his new doggie friends, and getting great training from Ariana and Jhonatan, allows me to go to work all day without worrying about him. He has made so much progress in his behavior since he's been hanging out with them. They are also very accommodating, punctual, generous, responsive, and will go the extra mile. They've let me drop my dog off super-early and pick him up super-late when I had to work extra long days. We were fostering a dog and they let her come to day care with our dog, didn't want any extra payment, and also helped advertise her to help get her adopted! I am so grateful to have found them - they are a hidden gem and they are making a difference in lives of dogs and their humans each and every day. read more

Ariana and Jhonatan are truly the best. We've been using them for a while now, and there is no one else I'd rather have caring for my dog. They are super flexible with our schedules (which are always changing). They are super responsive, and they always get back to me quick. They also always send pictures of our dog while he is out on his walks. I also never question if they'll show up to walk our dog, I know they'll always be there. They also treat our pup like their own, and I know they truly care about him. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, do not hesitate to give them a call, they're amazing. read more

We couldn't be happier with the care that Ariana and Jonathan have given to our dogs. When we moved here last summer our dogs had a difficult time adjusting to their new surroundings, especially on walks when we would encounter other dogs. Ariana and Jonathan have helped train our Lab and Lab/Dane-mix to walk better on leash and play well with other dogs. My husband and I know that every day while we are at work our pups are safe and have a fun time with Jonathan and Ariana. read more

Jhonatan and Ariana are the best! They treat your animals just like they would their own. It is very comforting knowing that when we are out of town, our fur babies are getting the best care possible! Thank you guys! read more

We had a great experience with Arianna and Jonathan in regards to our 1 yr old, recently adopted lab pup, Raya! We had an emergency situation and had to travel out of town for couple nights. Arianna was so helpful when she drove half way just to pick up Raya at 10pm! For the next 2 days, Raya had the best time of her life. Along with treats and play, Arianna and Jonathan also trained her, changed some of her bad habits (jumping on people for example). After the first good experience, we invited them over for a - leash walking and crate training session. It was very helpful. Now, Raya walks very well on the leash and just loves to hang around in the crate. We felt so relieved after meeting them as now we know that Raya will be in good hands even when we are not around. They both are reliable, professional and truly dog caring/loving people. read more

My sister's spoiled frenchie is absolutely in love with this place! They clearly take great care of him. Reliable, kind and caring, what else can you ask for? read more

I had been working with the same dog walker for 5 years, but I started having doubts that he was really walking my dogs. After putting a camera up, I watched the guy come in, ignore my dogs, pickup up his check and walk out. (Yes, every dog parent's nightmare and frankly too common with this profession.) So, I had to begin the difficult task of finding a new walker knowing one of my dogs, Norman, who was very attached to the previous jerk would be a challenge to convert. Then we met Arianna and Jhonatan. They are kind, loving, extremely trustworthy dog lovers. They are more than walkers, I can assure you. They go above and beyond to make you and your pup feel like you are their only clients. Norman became a believer in record time (it usually takes him weeks to warm up to people), and I am a believer too. I would not hesitate to recommend them enthusiastically. read more

Jhonatan and Ariana we're awesome taking care of my dog Abby . Abby came home after 3 days content and happy . I really recommend Doggie Sit and Fetch and believe Abby was taken care of very well by Ariana & Jhonatan read more

Jhonatan and Ariana have been walking Gunnar since September of 2014. He is a very large and energetic dog but they are very good with him. I know it really makes Gunnar's day when they walk and play catch with him. I can rest assured that he is in good hands because I am always informed of when they arrive and leave, as well as receive photos and updates. We couldn't be happier to have available a trusted service like Dog-e Sit & Fetch! read more

Jhonatan and Ariana always do an amazing job watching my two pups. I have 2 pitbulls, one 3 and one 5, both about 80 lbs. They are big pushovers but still require some special attention because of their breed and skin conditions. Jhonatan is the only person I have found that I trust to take care of them and give them the attention they need while I'm away. I'd recommend Ariana and him to anyone no matter the size or breed of their dog. read more
