1. Sofiya K.

“Donner was so happy with his stay! Even though it was only his second time he walked right up to Sofiya'a house and went straight in without a backwards glance!”


2. Jayden S.

“After a great first boarding experience, I re-booked Jayden for doggy day care while I took a day trip to Monterey! A huge green flag: Loki was SO happy to see Jayden again! He sent a bunch of pictures to us throughout the day and even gave Loki some treats after asking us for permission. He was also very accommodating and quick to respond when we arrived from our day trip earlier than anticipated! Definitely will be our go-to sitter whenever we're in the bay.”


3. Sunshine & Shannon S.

“Sunshine and Shannon are wonderful and were so kind to me and my pup! They send multiple updates throughout the day and are very understanding of your dogs needs. Thank you both for looking after Ollie!”


4. Diana F.

“Diana was wonderful with my 5 month old, energetic golden retriever. It was my first time leaving her with anyone other than family. Diana sent photos throughout the day, and promptly responded whenever I checked in. Cali came home calm and happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”


5. Lax B.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Snoopy! We really appreciated you accommodating the early drop off, sending pictures and updates, it was so reassuring. He felt so safe and comfortable with you, which means the world to us. Thank you again for everything!”


6. Harper P.


“Harper - thank you so much for hosting Alonzo these last two days! I know when he was so excited to see you on the second day that you took such good care of him and he had a great time! I really appreciate you looking after him so well and all of the pictures and videos you sent me throughout the day. We will for sure come back to you any time we’re in San Jose and I’ll recommend you to anyone here! Thanks again!!! Mikah and Alonzo”


7. Mélanie G.

8. Roma R.

“Roma was absolutely amazing! We booked her for doggy day care and she took such amazing care of our brand new puppy! She is incredibly responsive and has been so accommodating with our schedule. I’ve already booked her again! Definitely recommend her for all your animal needs!”

“Charlie had a great time with Ezra. He was happy to run back to her and then inside to play after his first day. Ezra has a great fund of knowledge and intuition when it comes to dogs. I really appreciate her attention and experience with Charlie.”

“Jen is such a sweet, kind-hearted person and takes the absolute best care of our dogs. They’re like our kids and Jen is the person I trust most to take care of them.”


11. Jen O.
“With Jen, I have not seen anyone care so much not only for her own cats and dogs, but also strays and neglected / abused animals which she comes across. She is kind, patient, nurturing and always caring to animals, regardless of whether they are hers or belong to others. Your fur-baby will be in good hands under her supervision, especially if they have specific needs.”


12. Melissa & Hyun Dong K.

“I immediately felt comfortable dropping Theo off with Melissa and Hyun Dong. They are both very kind and considerate people, took great care of my sick dog, and provided me with updates regarding how he was doing. I will definitely be using them again!”


13. Julie H.

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs, turtles, guinea pigs, and cats. I'm dedicated and attentive, ensuring each pet feels loved and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to cater to their unique needs and create a safe environment. I'm passionate about providing the best care for all pets! :) Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as a college student. Since it's my only job, I prioritize it and take it very seriously. I schedule my classes and study sessions around my pet-sitting duties, ensuring I have ample time to provide the best care possible. This allows me to focus on the pets and ensure they are happy and well-cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize safety and trust. I create a pet-friendly environment, free of hazards, and follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners. I make sure to keep their living spaces clean and comfortable, provide regular feeding, and engage in playtime to keep them happy. By maintaining open communication with the owners, I ensure their pets are well-cared for and safe.

About: I started to take care of dogs and cats since I was around 5 years old. We always had few dogs at home and all my relatives they have at least one dog. I have a lot of experience with taking care of pets. It's easy for me to create a good relationship with any type of pet, doesn't matter if it's a dog or a cat. I love dogs and cats very much and it will be a big pleasure to help you to take care of your lovely pet and make sure that everything will be perfect done. Hope to meet a lot of great people, dogs and cats by this program and make a lot of new friends. Can't wait to meet all of you. With a flexible work schedule and plenty of time available, I can provide dedicated care throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for boarding any day, ensuring your pets get the attention and love they need, whether during the week or weekend. I prioritize safety and comfort whether caring for pets in my home or yours. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, and ensure your furry friend gets plenty of attention and exercise. I follow any specific routines or requirements you have, and I’m experienced with different breeds and temperaments, so your pet is always in good hands.
