About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. 🐾 Important Note: To ensure a safe, comfortable, and manageable environment for our resident dogs and guests, I strictly only accept dogs under 40 lbs. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue French bulldog and poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. Panda: My energetic 5-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity Consistent Supervision: My husband and I both work hybrid schedules and take turns working from home. This means one of us is home the vast majority of the time to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attentive care. Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. Since 2019, I’ve also been a Doggy Day Out volunteer with the Humane Society of Silicon Valley, taking dogs of all sizes on walks, hikes, and park adventures for exercise, socialization, and fun. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention. 👉 Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly open, so I have plenty of time to care for and give plenty of attention to your pets most days and times. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my first priority. In your home, I follow your routines so your furry friend feels comfortable and secure. Dogs always get safe, leashed walks and lots of attention, while cats get clean litter, fresh food/water, and the level of play or cuddles they enjoy. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and care—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve pet sat for both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m confident handling everything from high-energy play sessions to gentle care for older pets with mobility or medical needs. I’m experienced with basic training, administering medications, and creating a calm, safe environment for anxious or shy pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals—I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while I work full time from 9am to 5:30pm. I’m able to start early in the mornings before my shift to feed, walk, and spend quality time with pets. I also offer care at my home, providing a calm and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I’m off on weekends and have full availability then, making it easy to give pets extra attention and care. Even on busy days, I prioritize breaks to check in, offer water, and give affection. My flexible schedule and commitment ensure that every pet’s needs are met with love and consistency. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure all environments are clean, secure, and pet-friendly—removing any hazards and providing cozy spaces for rest and play. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, to keep them happy and healthy. I build trust by spending quality time, offering gentle reassurance, and closely monitoring their behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. Communication with pet owners is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available for questions or concerns.

“Kaylee was so great with my boys while I had to work the holiday rush. I’m so thankful for her willingness to last minute take care of my silly dogs. Will def be using her again.”

Tanya J.

“I asked Christina to take care of my cat on a month long trip, which went smoothly in no small part due to Christina‘s diligence. She was prompt with her check ins, and was receptive to additional minor requests that I made.”

Everest L.

“Great cat sitter took the time to try and get to know my cat even though he’s shy. Followed all my instructions and provided details updates with pictures!”

Valerie B.

“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”

About: I have experience with dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs (small and large) and have fostered one Pit Bull Terrier. I have basic dog training skills, and enjoy taking dogs for long walks. I also fostered two cats at once: one with high energy and the other being more cautious and shy. I adore animals and am always eager to educate myself on how to better care for a pet's specific needs. I do Rover part-time. I am only available after 5pm on weekdays, but am free on weekends with advance notice. I am an early riser and can check on pets in morning if preferred and needed. In client's homes, I stay in the permitted spaces I am allowed to be in. I follow the house rules and respect the privacy and space. I understand that each pet has their own routine and quirks, so I will follow care instructions carefully. I live in an apartment building with no yard, so I walked around the neighborhood with my foster dog. I also would drive to nearby parks for a change of scenery. Both cats and dogs have access to my entire apartment except for my bedroom. I do not have central AC, but will leave my window open for dogs and have a fan blowing. I've had cats previously break my window screens, so I will leave a fan blowing on hot days. Additionally. I leave an air purifier on at all times to help remove allergens from the environment. I have wooden floors.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10, caring for my own furbaby as well as the pets of family and friends. This also includes dogs who are bigger and energetic therefore I am comfortable caring for dogs of such nature. I have also cared for a sick pet before so I have experience administering medication and keeping a close eye on them to ensure their safety. I am currently in the process of job hunting so I have a free schedule to care for your pets! All I ask is for at least a 2 day notice, meaning you are booking for a date 2 days in advance so I can prep! In your home I will be sure to follow all instructions carefully! I’ve cared for healthy pets as well as sick pets so I have experience with administering medication if needed. I am comfortable with crating dogs as well as taking them on walks when needed!

“Chris was amazing with our puppy August! He even took him on a walk with his doggo so he could practice pack walking, as well as other manners and obedience training during the walk. August thoroughly enjoyed his time with Chris and was able to take a good long nap afterward. August is already looking forward to his nest outing with Chris, thanks!”

“Michele waa great with our kitties while we were out of town! Very responsive, took great care of them, played with them and kept us informed each visit. Would definitely hire again!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals through long term dog and cat fostering, as well as frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but pets have stayed a big part of my life the whole time. What sets me apart is attention to detail. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, a walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, and I can do drop in visits or walks 1 to 3 times a day depending on what your pet needs. Once I’ve gotten to know your dog or cat, I’m also happy to offer boarding. I live in an apartment with dog parks, which makes walks and outdoor time easy. For both walking and boarding, I only take care of one pet at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, low stress environment. I’m open to boarding for pets I’ve already met and feel comfortable with.

“Dylan was great with my dog Bo. He encouraged my old lazy dog to get out for potty breaks on our drop in visits. He’s detail-oriented and clearly cares about animals. We will absolutely use him again.”

Hilary G.

“Amazing experience! Will def get back to her when I need to travel :)”

Darae K.

“Mallory is fantastic! Reliable, attentive, thorough, and provided detailed updates and photos. She gave the gift of peace of mind, especially as my dog is elderly and gets a variety of medicines and ointments. I would absolutely book again.”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, including caring for cats and dogs. I’ve helped care for family dogs and raised my own cat, Salem, since he was a kitten. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. I am currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can provide regular check-ins, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I prioritize safety, patience, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, respect their home and routines, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I have developed a strong passion for providing safe, loving, and reliable care for animals of all sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and caring for pets with different energy levels and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I prioritize maintaining their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident their pets are in caring hands. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and ensure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I am home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship rather than pets being left alone for long periods. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets receive supervision, care, and interaction throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owners are away. I focus on providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making them feel secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive consistent supervision since I work from home, allowing for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), litter box or yard maintenance, and enrichment activities. I also provide companionship to reduce stress and separation anxiety while keeping the home tidy and secure. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in trusted hands.

About: Hey there! I just wanted to share that I've been taking care of dogs and cats for more than five years now. I've been doing it for my family and friends, and I absolutely love it! That's why I thought of offering my services to you. I've had the pleasure of having four dogs and three cats as my own pets. So, I'm confident that I can take good care of your furry pals too! I am able to provide pet-sitting services on any day of the week, as I am a part-time worker and a student. To ensure that I am able to spend time with my family, it is easier for me to care for your pet at my residence. Family time is of great importance to me, and this arrangement enables me to balance my responsibilities effectively. I'm lucky to live in an apartment with a lovely balcony that's fully enclosed. It's the perfect spot for my furry friends, as it can comfortably fit up to three cats or dogs. Our apartment is also quite spacious, and we've set it up to cater to the needs of our beloved pets.
