House Sitting in Alum Rock-East Foothills, San Jose

“Malia was wonderful with my pets! I was so happy to come home to happy, relaxed animals. It’s clear that Malia has a genuine love for pets. My two chihuahuas and cat seemed to really warm up to her. She's clearly responsible and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving my little critters in her hands.”

“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”

“Melanie was an absolute life saver, our previous sitter canceled last minute and she stepped up and was above and beyond what me and my wife expected. It was our first time hiring a sitter for our puppy but we will absolutely go back to Melanie again. She’s the best”

“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”

“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”

“Quynh is a great pet sitter. She was so attentive with my two dogs and sent tons of photos of all their adventures. I look forward to having her watch my dogs again!”

“Cittlali was great with my dog. Betta is very shy and reserved but she opened up to her. They went out together and I am impressed that they became friends in just two days. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and it gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”

“I had a great experience with Caitlin. She was prompt to all of our scheduled meetings in the run up to the actual house sit. During the house sit itself she was great with communication and provided pictures of my dog while I was away. Overall a very responsible and professional house/pet sitter who I will use again.”

About: I had a family dog for 14 years and gave it all the love during its time with our family. The last five years my dog developed glaucoma and had a strict medicine routine that I had to follow to help with this issue. After that, I was a baby sitter for 3 years and also walked the family dog in the evenings. Since then, I have helped look over my friend’s/roomates dogs while they have been away. I have also been a cat sitter for my friend’s cats. I believe all furry friends deserve love and care, especially when they are away from their owners! At the moment, I am available evenings throughout the week, and I am very flexible on weekends. My schedule may change in mid August as I will return to school. I am great at following instructions and if needed, I will follow up for any clarification on questions. I aim to follow the furry friend’s routine, give them play time, and/or any desired care needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals with love and attention. I’m comfortable with all breeds, and I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to give extra belly rubs or playtime. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing gentle care, I treat every pet like family. I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine and am available every day of the week. Since I currently stay at home with my 5‐month‐old baby, I can provide your pet with attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will enjoy a calm, nurturing environment where they receive plenty of affection and companionship alongside my little one. I am available at 1:00 pm on weekdays, during early mornings, and at any time on weekends. In my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I provide consistent care that includes scheduled feeding, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring a calm and secure atmosphere. Whether in my own space or your pet’s familiar surroundings, I remain attentive to their routine and comfort, offering both affection and respect throughout the day.

“Kerynne was absolutely incredible! My dog fell in love with her and made my last minute trip possible. She followed all my instructions, fed and walked my dog, played with him and even sent photo and video updates. She house-sat and my place was the same as I’d left it. Book her! She’s fantastic.”

“We were going on one of those trips where our flight got postponed a day (the Boeing Max 9 grounding issue). Sandra was wonderfully flexible to delay the first scheduled day and be ready to cover us if our return flight was also delayed. She also cared for our dog in her usual wonderful way!”

“It was great to have Brian take care of our 10 week old puppy. Brian was very easy to communicate and definitely recommend Brian for in house sitting!”

“She’s amazing!!! She was on time and actively reached out with updates and pics!!!”

About: I have owned dogs, I am a dog owner, breeder and former doggy daycare employee. I have had experience caring for dogs who belonged to other people. I am retired and I don't work, so I have plenty of time to take quality care of your dog. I require contact and yourvet information in case of emergency. I have plenty of time to allow me to provide quality play time with your dog. I can play in the yard with them and in the house.

“We had a great experience with Vivien, who stayed in our home for nine days to care for our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to confidently administer insulin to our diabetic cat, which was a huge relief. Vivien was responsible, respectful of our space, and gave all of our pets plenty of attention and care. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been a devoted pet caregiver for over 8 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. I understand the unique needs of small and shy animals, and I’m comfortable administering medications, including subcutaneous injections for cats when needed. My approach is calm and attentive, ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own family. I’m passionate about providing personalized care and sharing daily updates with pet parents. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since at a young age and I have grown to love them. When my family needs someone to watch their dog, they would reach out to me. Not only do I drop in, but I will spend 1-2 hours with them to make sure they are well fed, walked and loved. I am currently free most of the days from now until June 15. I am able to drop in the mornings and afternoons/evenings during the week to feed. I am also available on weekends if needed. I ensure to be respectful in my client’s home and only perform the services asked. I will ensure their animals feel safe and well taken care of.

“Kelly was great with the dogs! She took such good care of them and they warmed up to her very quickly! She was very respectful of the space. I would 100% rebook her. Thank you Kelly :)”

About: I can’t wait to walk and play fetch with your dog. Dogs hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to meet your baby ! I’m trustworthy and a loving dog sitter and your dog will never be alone. I love giving dogs treats and making them feel special. I love to cuddle with dogs as well. If your dog ever needs medicine, I know how to orally give dog medicine such as allergy pills, and other special medicine that they need. A dog should always feel welcome in a warm loving environment and should feel at home even if they are not. Lastly, a good boy or girl will always get treats if it’s ok. But who doesn’t love spoiling their dogs. I’m currently on the job hunt and need some extra time to prepare for myself moving out. Would love to walk your dog or check up on them ◡̈ I usually don’t take dogs into my house as I do at home visits but I have a fenced yard that will keep them safe.
