House Sitting in Santa Teresa, San Jose

“Over and above. She took great care of pets and they love her. Great communication and fun pics of animals. Already booked her for my next trip. It is so nice to be able to relax and know animals are well taken care of.”

“Deborah is absolutely FABULOUS! I can’t say enough praise for her. She showed so much love and care for our Great Dane, Drago (who is a handful!). She took him on so many long walks and sent us frequent updates and pictures. She treated him like a prince. And she’s delightful to us humans too - incredibly kind, thoughtful, took great care of our home while we were away.”

“Jeanne is the best! She goes above and beyond to take excellent care of our dog and our house while we are away. She sends us updates, photos and videos and our dog loves her.”

“Responsive, friendly, responsible. She also offered to do a walk through a week before the booking. She also sends a lot of photos and messages which makes you feel connected to your pets”

“Sierra was very communicative and took lots of pictures and videos of her time with our good balls. Even with an injured wrist she was able to care for our two med/large (70 lb each) dogs. They had a blast with her and the house was in great shape when we got back. Definitely would rebook and recommend!”

“Tasha was an excellent sitter and took great care of our pets (a big dog and a cat). It was a logistically challenging process due to COVID (had to do socially distanced meet and greet, etc.) and the fires, but she did a great job monitoring the air quality and making sure the pets got good outside time when the air was good for it and stayed inside when it wasn't. She was also consistently good about communicating with us, sending pictures and keeping us posted on how everything was going. Tasha did a terrific job and we'll definitely book her again, and highly recommend you do the same.”

“Patricia did a wonderful job taking care house- and pug-sitting for us. She was in good communication with us and I appreciate her super quick response times. Will definitely use her again.”

“Arthur is responsible and even has a dog of his own. He has a very good intuition with pets and loves taking care of others just as much as his own.”

“Marcella has taken care of our dogs a few times. She cares about the dogs and does a thorough job of taking care of them. We appreciate the updates she gives us while we are away. We are thankful for Marcella because while we are away we are at ease knowing she is taking care of our dogs.”

“Joseph was so great! Quick at responding and a really nice person. My two dogs loved him. Definitely will ask him again!!! He is really easy to get along with.”

“Cristal was fantastic. We were gone almost two weeks and she gave us peace of mind with daily pictures and text messages. She always let us know if she was going to be gone. The house was spotless when we returned and she even made us a lasagna! We would absolutely ask her to watch Maeve again.”

“Sophia LOVES pets! They are so attentive and detail-oriented. I always feel that Soph loves our cats as much as we do and I am able to travel freely knowing they are in Sophia's care.”

“Sonny loves animals in general especially dogs. I've witnessed how well behaved all his dogs were over the past 20yrs. that I've known him. It's amazing to see him tell his dog to "go home" and it goes back into the dog house. He leaves food or snacks in front of the dogs and they stare at it until he gives them the command to eat then they eat. He even trained his american bulldog, great dane, mini schnauzer, pitbull and chihuahua non verbal commands. He snaps his fingers and points and they sit, jump, lay down, back up, roll over and go back to the cage. I'm truly impress with how obedient his dogs were and the affection he gave them. Your dogs will be in good hands with this man.”

“Kathy did a marvelous job of pet sitting my two dogs while I was on vacation. I felt assured that she would give my dogs plenty of TLC, and she certainly did. I received cute photos of them every day and I could tell by their wagging tails that all was good and they were happy. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a solid pet sitter who is very responsible and someone you can trust in your home to take care of your "fuzzy children".”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a young teenager. Sadly having no dogs of my own as of last October, I live directly across a dog park and want to share the joy with your littlest family members. You can count on me to pay close attention to diet and potty schedules. I will shower your pet with attention and affection. I work from home with a short break in the day to run errands. I like to bring pets for the ride or simply stay home with my mother. Your pets needs will be covered! I have a fenced yard to catch some sun and a dog park directly across the street. I am also available to come to your pets home and shower with the same attention.

“Danielle was super responsive when she watched our cat and dog while we were out of town. We were nervous with our first Rover experience, but she made it a breeze by sending pics and loving our fur babies! We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a stay at home sitter!”

“Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.”

“Jessica was a wonderful sitter for our older chihuahua! She went above and beyond to meet with us multiple times with Beya so they could be better acquainted before the booking started. She followed all of our rules we laid out for the house to a T. She also took the time to send daily photos and a few videos while she watched our pup, they were amazing to receive. Another great thing about her is she let us know her schedule beforehand and the amount of time she could spend with Beya which worked perfectly for us and the expectations we had. If there was every a change or mix-up with time she reached out promptly to let us know if she was running behind or to update us. When we arrived home everything was better than we left it! So thanks so much Jessica. We'd use her again for Beya in the future. We know for sure Beya enjoyed staying with someone she could rely on, our dog is very vocal in her personality and usually when we come home she ignores us because she is upset we left. But this time she was super excited and relaxed when we came home. All the more reason we'd use Jessica again for a booking.”

About: I've always loved cats and dogs, and in addition to growing up with them, they've been much-loved family members for the 30 years I've lived in south San Jose. My family has dropped their dogs off at my house for Doggy Overnight Camp for years, and I've taken care of friends' cats when they're out of town for years. I look forward to starting my fourth kitten fostering season with the Silicon Valley Humane Society. I'm semi-retired and work part-time from home, so I have ample free time to spend with your furry kids—checking in, feeding, playing, walking—whatever works best for them. I'm happy to work closely with you to determine what activities will help your pets feel loved and cared for, and you to feel secure that they're safe and happy, while you're away.

“It's rare to find someone who not only looks after your pets but also cares for them as if they were their own. That's exactly what Vo has done for my dogs. Each time I've had to be away, I've returned to find my furry friends happier and healthier. Vo doesn't just 'babysit' them; he connects with them, understands their needs, and ensures they're not just looked after but also genuinely happy. His passion for animals is evident in the way he interacts with them, and his professionalism is unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend Vo to anyone who needs a caring, responsible, and attentive caretaker for their pets. He is, without a doubt, a true friend to animals.”
