Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Buena Vista, San Jose

“Thank You Kalyn❣️ Both cats are looking well fed and cared for and happy to see our return. Thank you for the play, petting and brushing. Especially, 15 yr old Farley, he expressed his normal behavior minus any repeated aggression from young George, who pounces from behind. This proves you kept George exercising. ❣️❣️ So, I shared with you a notice that George had headed next door to hang out in neighbor’s garage for attention We discussed increasing food. Well, he has a weight belly now. Evidently, my theory that cats just don’t over eat by nature is untrue. George came inside last night sometime after midnight, upped next to my sleeping hand where he placed his purring belly until late morning wake up. I am a very satisfied customer, friend, Kalyn. You collected our mail. Collected newspapers, watered porch and house plants And wore down an active cat-kitten. Respectfully, Shari”

I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog owner all my life. Now I have a 5 year old female miniature Goldendoodle named Lucy. She is my third dog, and well trained. Now I also have a little munchkin boy cat. He’s great with dogs too. I work from home, but like outdoor activities. Whether you need to tire your pooch out or just want them to be napping quietly, you got it! My condo is secured with security cameras and app controlled gates. I live on the top floor, in a corner unit with amazing views and sunshine and air flow. I usually just leave all drapes up windows open.

“Malia was amazing, I had my cat sitter drop out last minute while i was in another state and Malia made it so smooth and stress free. She sent me the cutest pictures and communicated with me! She took care of everything! ✨😌”

About: 📌 ◆ 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 ◆ (Updated 01.31.24) I am currently only accepting boarding requests from repeat clients ideally no more than 2 months in advance. :) Christmas availability is to be determined so I have blocked off my calendar for that month. I highly recommend that boarding requests longer than 5 days be made at least 2-3 months in advance to secure availability, especially around the holidays! At my discretion, new clients may be asked to complete a trial daycare/overnight assessment to ensure your pet is a good fit for my home. ◆ 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 ◆ I accept small/medium (<35 lb) dogs over the age of 1 that are up to date on vaccines, fully housebroken, and are crate-trained (or comfortable with being in an xpen). Your dog should be non-aggressive towards dogs and cats. All new clients must fill out my intake questionnaire before I confirm a booking to ensure your pet is a good fit for my home. :) ✏️ ▹ Questionnaire: bit.ly/3aE1HBD ◆ 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗘 ◆ I have been a dog enthusiast as long as I remember and am committed to providing enriching, fun, and safe experiences to your furry friends! I'm a strong proponent of force-free, science-based, reward-based dog training. I used to volunteer at the SPCA in Dublin and have raised and trained three puppies to adulthood. My Shiba is my most recent dog, the first dog I've raised with the Puppy Culture program. He has an AKC Trick Dog Novice title under his belt with more to come! We are currently training in nosework and agility. Dogs new to me are kept in an x-pen/separate room/crate for safety if I am not home, but the vast majority of my regular pups have free roam in the home once they've been proven trustworthy! My household consists of my 4 year old Shiba Inu Kohaku (nicknamed Koko), my fiance Roy, and our 12 year old cat Audrey. Dog sports are one of my biggest hobbies and something I am very passionate about. I always strive to educate myself when it comes to dogs. When we're not out hiking and exploring, Kohaku and I train together.

About: My family has been petsitting family and friend's dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I also grew up with a family dog and several cats, being the one who mostly trained the dog in performative tricks. This exposure lead me to have a great interest in learning dog and cat breeds, hereditary diseases, and behavior/body language. I have 5+ years in the animal industry from pet supply to medical care. I have experience in administering medications and subcutaneous fluids, simple grooming(nail trims and brushing), and some basic puppy training. I am available from 9am-12pm and 4pm-7pm everyday for dog walking. I'm available all day, Tues-Thurs, Sat-Sun for drop ins and other services that I offer! Sadly, I do have the space to house your pet at my place, but I will be able to complete any provided services at your own!

About: I respect both humans and their pets. I also believe that animals should be cared and protected in their environment both indoors and outside settings.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my commitment to providing personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. With a strong focus on safety, reliability, and consistent communication, I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring peace of mind for owners and comfort for their beloved companions. Pet sitting fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, making sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an extended stay, I’m able to adapt my routine to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for throughout the day. I’ve always owned pets—both dogs and cats—so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. Although I currently live in a smaller apartment with pet restrictions, I still enjoy being around animals and am committed to providing the same level of love and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, maintaining the pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, playtime, and any medications or special care needed. I make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I always prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being while keeping open communication with the owner. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.
