Pet Sitting Almaden Valley

“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”

About: I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a private courtyard and medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely relax and play. I’m patient, friendly, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just watching them, but actively engaging with them and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my cousin’s dog, including helping with basic training and good behavior. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care they need. I work from home as a freelancer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your dog won’t be left alone for long. In my home, I have a private mid-size courtyard and a medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and play. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day.

About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks I am a full time dog sitter/ tutor, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (5.5 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 15). My husband works from home 2 times a week as well.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, growing up I had three different dogs, Ruby, who died when I was 8, Ollie, and Zoe. I’ve had three fish, two mice, a lizard, and a hamster. Starting at age 12, I began dog and cat sitting for my neighbors and friends, and many families have relied on me for the care of their animals when they cannot be there. I also study animal science with a pre vet concentration in school so I'm extremely knowledgeable on how to correctly interact and care for pets I am currently a full time pet sitter, so sitting is my whole life at the moment. During the year I study animal science but when I am not working over the summer I love to read and bake! I always make sure front doors are closed or locked, pay special attention to certain rules and expectations of different pet owners, and never let animals out of my sight unless they are safely inside or in an enclosed outside space.

About: Hii! I'm Brenna! I just graduated from Cal Poly SLO and am a soon-to-be elementary school teacher! I have 3 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone to make your dog feel safe, happy, & well cared for! I'm active, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or just getting lots of love and attention, I'll make sure they have fun while you're away! My experience working with children has also taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities (which dogs definitely have lol). As a recent Cal Poly graduate and incoming elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible summer schedule and enjoy staying active, so daily walks and outdoor time are already built into my routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and happy. Every pup has different needs, so I make sure each walk is tailored to their energy level and personality :) Whether your dog loves a long adventure or a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to match their pace. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings, and following any instructions you provide.

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. If you have an energetic dog, I can take them on runs, jogs or long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a calmer dog then leisurely strolls around the neighborhood it will be. I have experience with shy and reactive dogs and I can give them the patience they need. I am also happy to just cuddle and spend quality time with your dog or cat. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I am a college freshman who is off for the summer and 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. Personalized care and giving your companions lots of love and attention are things I will do to make your pet feel happy and safe.

About: I have over 23 years of experience as a dog owner, caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to my own pets, I’ve provided dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I always focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. My experience allows me to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I am usually home from work by 2:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced backyard and a dog door that leads to a secure space where dogs can go outside to relieve themselves as needed. I can also crate your dog if that is part of their routine. At this time, we do not have any dogs at home, as our beloved 14-year-old dog recently passed, which allows me to give my full attention to your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their familiar environment.

“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, houses, children, and more since I was 15. I’ve always loved animals as well as helping people out when they need it so this opened many opportunities for me at a young age to take care of pets for the people around me. Through networking with those people I was able to extend further and meet more people to provide care for. I have multiple years of experience dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and house sitting in addition to raising my own pets over the years. There is no pet I couldn’t come to love and enjoy being around and I love how taking care of them can also enrich my own experiences and knowledge about animals! I can walk and care for small dogs to large dogs as long as they aren’t completely without basic training. I also have experience caring for elderly/sick dogs and cats including following specific feeding concerns and keeping up with medicines. I recently graduated college and am unemployed so I have plenty of time to spare for your pet! I am open to any walking length and am flexible with times and days. I also have plenty of experience house sitting and taking care of pets in their own homes/environment. I am great at keeping routines and following a schedule so caring for pets fits perfectly into my day! I take instructions and guidelines seriously when taking care of people’s pets so I make sure to follow them accordingly and carefully. I utilize whatever resources made available by clients to take better care of their pet. I also always make sure pets are comfortable with me and that I can properly understand and care for their needs! Whether a pet needs a slower walking pace, longer or shorter walks, specific food, or needs certain conditions to be comfortable or safe in their home I make sure to accommodate their needs.

“Maddie did a great job for us. She was very good at communicating, followed our instructions perfectly, and showed up for the visits exactly when she said she would. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we're in need of a sitter”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending calm, attentive time with animals and focusing on their comfort and routine. I currently live with a family dog, which has given me ongoing experience with daily care and understanding pet behavior. In the past, I also cared for a hamster, which taught me responsibility and consistency with small animals. I am especially attentive during drop-in visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m a recent graduate currently volunteering with Animal Assisted Happiness on Sundays, with times that vary. I also receive training through San Jose Animal Care Center. My schedule is generally flexible outside of these commitments, and I’m available for drop-in pet care during the week and on other days. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets (including litter boxes or pads if needed), and spend time with them through companionship and light play. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving medication to dogs, including helping care for my neighbors’ dogs as well. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable around both dogs and cats. I’m willing to help in any way I can and can’t wait to meet your pet! I just graduated from college and moved back home so I am able to help whenever you need. I am also very flexible and can work around your schedule! I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel cared for and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any specific needs or preferences the pet may have. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away.

“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”

About: Hi! My name is Tim, and I’ve always had a strong love for dogs and the outdoors. I currently own and care for Kali, my energetic Belgian Malinois/Rottweiler mix. Raising and training a large, high-energy breed has given me hands-on experience with daily exercise, leash handling, basic obedience, socialization, and providing consistent structure and care. Because of Kali’s energy level, I’m comfortable walking active dogs that need both physical exercise and attention. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and reading a dog’s body language to help ensure a positive experience on every walk. I’m reliable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes. Whether your dog prefers a long adventure, a neighborhood stroll, or extra attention and playtime, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own dog. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! If dogs could text, mine would probably spend all day asking, “Walk now?” If your pup feels the same way, I’d be happy to help! I’m primarily available on weekdays and love making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and tail-wagging fun while their owners are away. Weekend availability is sometimes possible too—just ask! 🐾 I treat every dog as if they were my own. Safety and trust come first, and I take pride in creating a positive environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. As an active dog owner with experience handling energetic large breeds, I understand how important exercise, attention, and consistency are. You can count on me to provide safe walks, reliable care, and plenty of love while keeping your dog’s well-being my top priority.

“Yu-Wen did a great job caring for our cats. Typically Yuki and Akira are shy and run from new people. My husband and I could tell from the first pictures Yu-Wen sent us, our girls were very comfortable and happy. You-Wen kept us well informed on how are girls were doing. We highly recommend him and we do plan to book him in the future.”

“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”

“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
