Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Almaden Valley, San Jose, CA

“Sarit was such a pleasure to work with!! Very flexible given my impromptu need for Rover, spent some time getting to know my kitties with me, asked excellent and detailed questions for care, and then did an amazing job dropping in and keeping them company, refilling food/water, and scooping litter! Also veryyy communicative and the pics and videos sent were precious! Would highly recommend :)”

About: I've had a pet dog since I was 13 years old, almost 10 years ago. I have also cared for & walked neighbors' dogs as needed, and I would like to help out other local dog owners in a similar way. Each dog has their own favorite forms of play and exercise, and I greatly enjoy letting dogs show me what theirs are. On walks, I can let the more adventurous ones explore and let the more routine-oriented ones stick to familiar ground. I will let them socialize or guide them away from other dogs based on your needs. I adapt my walking pace to each dog I handle - my own is a fast walker, and my neighbor's is more laid-back and plodding. I've loved dogs for my entire life - to the extent that my Eagle Scout project was dedicated to helping a local animal rescue organization. Inspired by the doghouse I had built for my own dog, I led the construction of three more to be donated to the Pup Plaza event site in Cambrian Park Plaza. I am currently searching for full-time jobs, so I will be flexible with my schedule. I would like to arrange initial visits before committing to ensure that the dog and I will be a good fit. I am able to play with, feed, and walk your dogs, as well as ensuring their water is filled up. In addition to play, I will also be open to simply providing company. I am not currently able to host your pets within my own home.

“This is our 1st time using rover and I must say I’m very pleased. She did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for 4 days. Followed our instructions to the T. We Highly recommend her services, and will definitely be using them again in the near future.”

“Matt is amazing! He is always super responsive and my puppy and grown dog love him. My adult dog (a German shepherd) can be intimidating but he won her right over.”

About: Family, friends of friends, and neighbors always rely on me to watch after their pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe and loved. My schedule is very flexible and will happily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available weekdays 10am - 7pm and some weekends if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free, which includes feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any special instructions. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry friend is happy and well cared for.

“I had peace of mind while I was away knowing someone as thoughtful as Natalie was watching over my pets while I was away! Huge thanks!!! Will be booking again.”

About: With over 30 years of pet experience, I’ll make fast friends with your little ones! I’ve had 15 of my own over the years, both cats and dogs. In addition, I’ve often been called on as sitter and caretaker for friends and family, both in their homes and my own. While I work full-time, I work remotely and my schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me ability to travel, run errands, attend to life, and take care of things as needed. My ability to work from anywhere means that I’m often taking meetings and writing emails in different locations day to day…and there have been many instances where I’ve been pet-sitting or housesitting and working remotely from there. My first priority is of course always the safety and happiness of your family members and companions, but a close second is the care and cleanliness of your space and your home! I learned early in my life to always leave a space cleaner than you found it, and cleanliness, your preferences, handling things your way, and privacy are always in the front of my mind!

“Maddie did a great job with her communication and time spent with our doggie. She was quick and easy to work with. Would work with her again.”

“I can’t recommend Soleil enough as a cat care provider! She visited Zima every day while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable and caring hands. Zima is a very social cat who needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and Soleil went above and beyond to give her the attention she craves. I especially appreciated how closely Soleil monitored Zima’s food and water intake, and how she kept me updated with thoughtful notes and photos. It was clear she wasn’t just checking in — she was truly looking out for Zima’s well-being. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely devoted to your pet’s happiness and health, Soleil is the best. Zima and I are both so grateful for her!”

About: I have 15 years of dog care and 4 years of cat care experience. I saved a 2-month puppy from death and took care of him carefully days and nights for a month until he’s full recovered. It makes me treasure every moment with any little ones. My pets all love me, and I taught them a lot of commands. I love pets and they are my families! :) I am currently working from home, so I have all day with pets and am able to take close care of them. I’ll let them go out and play at least 3 times per day and take potty breaks. :) I have a big fenced backyard and a big front yard for the pets to play. And there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in my house, so pets are welcome to stay with me or take a rest alone in a quiet place. I make my home cozy and pet friendly by providing pet beds, blankets, carpets, and toys. Pets are welcome to sleep in my bedroom if needed! If I need to go to my clients’ home, I will make sure the pets are taken good care of by satisfying all their needs, and I will follow strictly to the special instructions. I’ll also leave my clients’ home nice and clean as it was! :)

About: We are a father daughter team, JD and Addie, who can handle almost every pet care need. In addition to having pets our entire lives, we have been the go-to pet sitter many friends and neighbors turn to when they need a dependable pet sitter who loves animals. We’ve had dogs of all sizes, from big old Labs to a tiny long-haired Maltese. We can care for dogs of all shapes and sizes and know the differing needs of different types of dogs. We always work with our clients to understand your own pets unique needs. We are also major cat people! We currently have 4 of our own. Each uniquely different in personality and care needs, one even has thumbs and another requires nightly meds. We are cat whisperers and can address any cat need because we’ve seen it all. JD works from home so is able to get away quickly, if needed, during the day. Addie is a student at Pioneer High and on the cheer team, so we stay pretty close to home all summer long for practices. We are a team and will always visit your home and/or take your pets out together! We are a father daughter team, JD and Addie, who can handle every pet care need. We do daily early morning walks, lots of trips to the local dog park, and evening walks after school is out. We love going on hikes, especially on dog-friendly trails here in the South Bay. JD works from home so is able to get away quickly, if needed, during the day. Addie is a student at Pioneer High and looks forward to afternoon and evening walks or house visits. We will assess the best approach based on the pet(s) you have. A big outdoor athletic dog needs a very different approach than a strictly indoor long-hair cat. We want to make sure we stick as closely as possible to your current routine. We know that pets are creatures of habit, and to keep them as happy as possible while you are are away, it is of the utmost importance for them to stick as closely as possible to that routine. We love getting to know your fur baby and spending time with them. We are animals lovers who look forward to getting to know your kiddo and spending time with them.

About: I have a huge heart for animals. I have had pets all of my life and consider them to be part of my family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and know the commitment and responsibilities that come with caring for pets. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I am an upcoming college freshman who has a flexible schedule. If you and your family are away from home, I’m always free to check up on your furry companions! I will provide the attention your pet needs and follow any specific instructions you have for me. It is important to me that your pet is comfortable and feels safe at all times. Long walks around the neighborhood and giving them lots of love and attention are things I will do to make your pet feel happy and safe.

About: I have 20 years of family pet care experience, deeply rooted in providing daily, personalized care to a variety of family pets. From feeding routines to grooming and creating a nurturing home environment, I’ve handled each aspect with dedication. My experience includes monitoring health and behavior, recognizing early signs of issues, and administering basic first aid or medications when necessary. I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal needs, ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for, which has strengthened my skills in attentive, compassionate animal care and their wellbeing. Their lives are just as valuable. I am currently working a part-time job in retail, which makes my schedule very flexible and easy to manage. I always do my best to move things around to make more space and time for my clients and their pets if our schedules do not align right away. I care for another person’s pet with the same level of dedication and compassion I would for my own. When in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comforting environment for the pet, following their usual routines to minimize stress. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific care instructions provided, ensuring continuity of care and familiarity. I’m mindful of maintaining cleanliness and respect for the home, and I always keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort or health concerns, addressing them promptly. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing their pet is in capable, loving hands.

“Lu took care of our cat for our latest trip. We were very impressed with how detail oriented she was during the initial meeting. Our cat was happy when we returned. We will be sure to reach out to her again for future trips.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. From paws and beaks to scales and hooves, I've cared for them all. Great with all sizes and breeds, Puppies to senior and even special needs. I’m currently going to school so my availability is mainly days at this time. It’s mostly remote so in house sitting is not affected much. I have a fenced yard with a covered patio to get out of the sun. i also have two great dogs for play if wanted. the pool can be fenced off but we leave it open so the dogs can enjoy a dip on those hot summer days.

About: Born and raised in a ranch, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. From the classic cats and dogs, to goats, horses, cows, chicken and so on. I love them all! Although I have not trained animals formally (aside "look at me/sit/down/heel"), I will give your pet all the love one can give. Pets are dear to my heart and I understand how important they are to you too. I am currently unemployed and am home full time (aside the grocery runs). I am available for walks in the mornings as well as early afternoons. I have 2 dogs who are very friendly. If taking your dog on a walk, I'll be sure to chat with you before hand to check if they're ok around other animals, or if we should cross the street when other dogs approach. If you'd like me to sit your animal, they must be ok around other dogs as well as big kids.

“Nicholas was very nice and easy to communicate! Very nice and reliable and listened to all of our instructions! Will definitely be a consistent client for Nicholas! Thank you so much for meeting and taking care of our dogs!”
