Cat Sitting Ashrama

About: I have had dogs all my life and a good pup brings me joy. I have 1 dogs of my own that I love to take on long walks, hiking, and to the beach. I would love to share those experiences with your loved ones aka dogs!! I know we live in busy world and sometimes we need just a little help keeping the pups happy, please let me help so you don't have feel guilty for not taking your buddy out. A few things your dogs will experience while in my care are attention, love, affection, and of course some treats if you will allow. I am a very out going person and your pups will be in good hands. I am here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets to take on walks and more. I am available on weekends and weekdays. All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks

“Serena was great to my little dog. LOL 😆 Hera is a 9 month old pup and she weighs a little over 90 lbs. Serena was very good with her, Hera loved her and was happy to see her. I will absolutely use her again top-notch to say the least.”

About: Hello, I am new to the area. I am from Jacksonville, Fl but relocated to San Jose for my Fiancé’s job. I am excited to get to know the area, new people, and of course your pets! Let me introduce myself… I am dependable and kind. I will treat your animals like they are my babies, too! I will walk them, play with them, and if you allow them to get in the bed, I will snuggle with them! If they are not allowed on furniture I will sit on the floor and cuddle with them! ? I have been sitting family and friend's pets for years and through word of mouth have ventured out to all over the Jacksonville area and beyond. I have clients in St. Augustine, Fl and Ferdandina Beach, Fl. I love all breeds of dogs and have some experience with elderly animals. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies; I will make them feel safe and secure! ❤️ I am a preschool teacher and work long hours throughout the week. My availability is to start dog sitting Friday night after work through Monday morning. This way your pet gets the most attention from me. I will love on them the way that you do. If they sleep with you at night? They will sleep with me too. I will try my best to make them feel like you have never left!

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

“Tillana is an absolutely fantastic sitter! She’s taken such great care of our two cats and is super communicative - always giving updates and takes so many pictures. She is 100% dedicated to making sure your furry friends are loved while you’re away! Thank you!!!”

About: I have many years of volunteering at an animal shelter and my main job was to train, and social many of the new dogs they would be in. As well as my entire life my family has always had pets growing up. I am currently working full time at a dental office however I have a set schedule. I am a person that likes to be extremely organized and plan my days accordingly along with my own pets needs as well as caring for the needs of other pets. I am very flexible when it comes to changing spaces. So whatever particular care your pet needs won’t be a problem. I can follow clear directions as well if there’s anything specific to your pet needs.

About: I've always been a high energy dog loving person. I'd love to visit your dogs and give them long walks to tire them out or shorter walks if they are just wanting to sniff and explore slowly. I can watch them at my house or your house. I'm a flexible and reasonable person! Just really starting this profile but I have many references. Let's connect (: I have a very flexible schedule! I take online college classes. I'm 25 and love to watch dogs and explore with them. They are my heaven! I will cook for your pet after understanding their dietary do's and don'ts. I will play with them. I will cuddle them. I will love them!

About: I strive to respect every individual's needs and preferences while also prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or bug. During overnight stays I ensure pets feel comfortable and content, while also respecting their space and boundaries. Especially for those who prefer to be left alone. Some of my prior experiences with pet sitting involved caring for four senior dogs and a kitten. I made sure they received meticulous care. Some of my tasks included administering medications and providing engaging activities. My devotion to animals of all kinds sets me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Being unemployed allows me to prioritize pet care, ensuring reliable and attentive service tailored to your pets needs. I am committed to giving the best possible care for your pets! In both my home and my clients home, I dedicate myself to making sure that every pet is content and comfortable. During my overnight stays, I prioritize the pets safety and well-being by following their feeding schedules, administer medication as needed, and offer constant supervision.

“Ana was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond checking in, communicated very well, and was great to work with. We (including our dog) loved her. Will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Another terrific set of services from Denise while we were on vacation. All went well and smoothly. Denise sent us pics, which our other pet-sitter did not, and we enjoyed (and felt comforted) seeing that all was well while we were away. Thanks for your help, Denise!”

“Malia is the best with my senior dog, Luna Nova! I trust her with caring for Luna. Luna absolutely loves her and looks forward to seeing her.”

“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with Shannon. She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. Not only she carefully followed all of our instructions, including administering medications and providing extra attention to some of our kitties when needed. She truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable, happy and healthy. Throughout our time away, Shannon was in regular contact with us and provided thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties. We could enjoy our trip knowing that someone really cared about our pets.”

About: Hi, I’m Julie, a loving, lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter with a knack for keeping pets happy and stress-free. Since childhood, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s tiny, timid pups who prefer to be attached to your hip, or big, playful dogs who need a loose-leash lesson, I’ve got it covered. I grew up with cats and dogs but also learned the ropes on my cousins’ ranch in Napa, where I helped take care of chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, cows, and even horses. I’m well-versed in calming scared kitties out from their hiding spots and giving cuddle-happy cats all the attention they crave. If your pet has separation anxiety, I’m happy to stay overnight, providing treats, belly rubs, and extra attention to help them feel secure. As a vegan with a deep love for all animals, I connect easily with pets, meeting their needs with empathy and care. I’d love to make your fur baby feel right at home while you’re away. I’m a social media manager for small businesses - all from my laptop! Flexible schedule, extraordinarily communicative, and can work from my phone. I’m an early riser, like dogs need their stimulation,I practice yoga for an hour each day. It’s actually a great way to bond with your dog to help gain quality time in their space. I’m happy to dedicate my time on a consistent or varied basis. I’m experienced with all types, from friendly pups to reserved seniors who prefer their space, ensuring everyone feels respected and at ease. I also want to respect all of your house rules to keep your space clean and respect your privacy. With years of pet-sitting experience, I understand the unique “languages” of different animals—especially cats, who can bring a bit of sass (thanks, Ginger, my childhood orange tabby!). I prioritize each pet’s personal needs, tuning into their preferences, triggers, and routines. Before any overnight stay, I always meet pets to let them get comfortable with my scent and presence. For dogs, I focus on getting their energy out with safe, structured walks—leash on, crossing only at crosswalks, and steering clear of any distractions.

“My cat had such a good time with Andrea that he didn't even mind that we were gone for a week. Really appreciate the good care. Thank you again!”

About: I moved to San Jose August of 2023 from San Diego, and a few months prior to moving I worked at a dog boarding & training facility that specialized in relationship-based training. The facility offered board and train programs and I would handle the pickups, dropoffs, behavioral assessments, playtimes, training and walking sessions, feedings, medications, and also assisted with the board and train programs. At that facility, I accumulated close to 100 hours of relationship-based training with many dogs of different breeds, backgrounds, and behaviors. I am experienced with basic obedience, recall, engagement, behaviors, socialization, impulse control/ counterconditioning, and walking(leash and harness)/loose leash walking (slip lead, and gentle leader)!! I work a part time job and I would love to utilize my free time to gain more experience/time with dogs of all different backgrounds! I believe that there is always something new to learn, so I want to expand my knowledge as much as possible in this field to develop my skills and understanding more as a dog behaviorist/trainer. Message me for my availability! Thurs-Sun I work part time. But outside of my hours and days I work, I would love to sit, walk, check on, or train your pup! Message me for my exact availability, as it changes weekly. I am happy to try and pencil someone in who needs services! Most importantly with walking dogs, I value the connection and I want to establish a good relationship with any dog I have the opportunity to work with. It is my priority to make sure that your dog(s) feels safe and loved along with having a developed mutual respect for both I and the dog. And second, I will never place any dog into an environment or situation that could be harmful for the it's psychical and mental well-being. Lastly, I believe communication is essential and I will always strive for strong and open communication to help any client feel trusting of their pet being in my care. And I will happily help talk through any troubles or concerns that are expressed!

About: Taken care of pets from a young age. I will be caring and gentle with them and try my best of make them feel loved. I am mostly free at 5pm. On the weekends I am available the whole day. Can make time if communicated in advance so I can plan I will be gentle and caring. Based on the pet needs I will take care of them accordingly. I will try my best to make them feel safe and happy

“Kayla has been an absolute lifesaver. She is flexible and reliable and my kiddos look forward to her walks even on days I’m home and she’s not visiting! I will absolutely be using Kaylas services in the future.”

Whether it’s sticking to special diets, administering medication, or keeping routines consistent, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel at home and owners feel at ease.
