Pet Sitting East San Jose

“Alicia took great care of my pups and the house. She was punctual and provided several photos. My dogs were very happy to meet her and she managed my big, high energy, jumpy dog really well. I would recommend her and will be requesting her to sit my dogs again!”

“Son has been super responsive from the first point of contact. He was able to quickly schedule a meet and greet to make sure your dog is super comfortable with him before he commits. My dog, Benji, is a very nervous dog and Son was able to adapt to his needs and care for him. Son was flexible fast communicating any details and sending on time reports and pictures. He will check in a day prior to the booked service to ensure he got everything. Very easy and very good first experience with Rover. He was able to make the pet owners to feel at ease while been away. Once I returned home everything was good and as we left it and even Benji waited at the door expecting Son to come back and play with him with his favorite Avocado toy and walkies.”

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 hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I provide calm and attentive care and treat all pets as if they were my own. I’ve always been a BIG animal person and have always surrounded myself with pets. I have experience working with puppies, kittens, and adult cats and dogs. I have a very flexible schedule, so I am available for most days and times! I am unavailable Thursdays and Sundays but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine! I offer calm and attentive care. I always make sure to remain patient and respectful to pets, homes, and owners. I make sure to keep special instructions in mind and offer great communication.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was young and completed a veterinary assisting program in high school. I also gained experience working at a dog grooming salon and a dog kennel that I currently still work at. I’m available most days of the week, preferably in the evenings when it’s cooler during hot days. On colder days, I have more flexibility throughout the day. I’m simply looking to earn some extra income. I will be able to walk their furry friends when needed and will love spending time with them and even playing with them to burn some energy.

“Catherine took such good care of our two bunnies while we were on vacation! This was my first time using Rover, and she helped make the process super easy. She was so patient and kind (even when the bunnies made a big mess!) She also provided thorough updates, lots of photos, and sweet notes that we really appreciated. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much Catherine!”

About: Hello! My name is Naomi and I am a recent college graduate that is currently working from home as a legal assistant. I have dog sat many of my families pets! I actually have one of my own which is a little Maltipoo. I am very attentive and responsible as I want to ensure all pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat them as if they were my own so I understand the importance of giving them the attention and affection they need. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal ☺️ I am currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! Feel free to provide me a schedule that work best for you. I provide a safe and caring home with a large fenced backyard. I will be home for most of the time, attentive to routines, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of all sorts of animals since Elementary school. I saw it as very enjoyable and rewarding rather than boring or stressful. When taking care of an animal I’d always make sure they were fed, given water, had a good amount of play time, were taken outside, or anything that was needed to make the pet and owner satisfied! I’m going to begin college during the summer term but since my classes are online I’ll have more than enough time to ensure your pet is well taken care of! I’m available Monday - Friday after 12pm. Although if needed I can go earlier if i’m informed beforehand. I’ve always been respectful whenever I enter anyone’s home, If there’s any special instructions needed before entering the home such as taking of shoes (ect) i’ll be more than happy to do so!

“Ariana is professional, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond. Her Rover cards were super thorough and transparent. She took such care of my baby - you can tell she is a true cat whisperer by how quickly my baby began to trust her. I will definitely be requesting her top notch services again in the future.”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle for years! Friends, family, and neighbors call me when they need someone reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to hang out with their pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnights, or keeping up with detailed routines, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and emotional awareness I bring. As an empath, I don’t just “watch” pets, I learn their personalities. Are they high-energy zoomie champions? Velcro dogs? Secret snack negotiators? I adjust my care style to fit *them* so they stay happy and stress-free. I have experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and patience (potty training, leash manners, crate routines), as well as senior dogs who deserve a slower pace, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m also very comfortable with anxious or shy pets and use calm, positive approaches to build trust at their speed. My goal is simple: happy pets, lots of tail wags, and owners who can relax knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Plus, you’ll always get photo updates because I know being away is the hardest part :) My schedule is thoughtfully balanced between two of my personal businesses—pet care and swim instruction. I’m a professional swim instructor during parts of the day, which means I may be in the water or teaching lessons for a few hours at a time, depending on the day of the week. Because of this, I build my pet care schedule very intentionally to make sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, exercise, and quality time. Pet care isn’t just something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my work and something I genuinely care about. Balancing both businesses allows me to stay active, responsible, and fully present in the care I provide. My care style really comes down to one thing: keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine, just with me stepping in as their temporary human. In a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, play routines, and any “house rules” your pet knows (or thinks they can bend). I keep things clean, calm, and secure so your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. If pets are staying in my home, they get a cozy, supervised environment with lots of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their energy level. I make sure introductions, rest spaces, and routines are handled thoughtfully so everyone feels comfortable. I'll most likely end up snuggling your pet too! :)

About: Experienced dog handler and bather while in training to become a groomer! I am experienced with dog behavior, medication administration and overnight shifts. I have a calm approach with all dogs! I love the big softies with all my heart and the little guys never fail to steal my heart. Every dog amazes me with their intelligence! I have also successfully trained a German shepherd with my family and I would be happy to talk about giving your pups a bath while sitting. I currently work as a bather (on my way to grooming academy next month!) and I would love to house sit on the side (overnights and weekends mostly) and as an added bonus I can give your pawesome pets a bubbly bath during house sitting! I will always come with a doggy first aid kit and knowledge of dog/pack behavior, and I have been trained to break up dog fights in the event of any instances out in public or at home.

“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 care for a small group at a time so each dog gets plenty of supervision, play, and rest. I’m very patient with shy, anxious, and senior dogs, and I’m experienced with puppies—including potty routines, basic manners, and crate training support. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and I adjust care as needed. Safety and communication are a top priority for me, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, play sessions, walks, and rest periods to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I work from home, which allows me to closely supervise pets, keep them on their normal routines, and adjust care based on their energy level or needs. This consistency helps pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, and safe play in my fenced backyard, along with plenty of rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pet is well cared for.

About: I’ve been a pet parent myself for 10 years, caring for my own dog while looking after multiple cats. I’ve looked after friends and families animals so I am very comfortable stepping into new environments. I’ve gained hands on experience with pets that require medication (including pills, liquids, injections, etc). I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior animals who require a little extra patience. I love meeting each pet where they’re at. Whether it’s a gentle cuddle session or an energetic walk, i’ll match your pets energy making sure they feel loved and happy. I’m based in East San Jose and happy to travel a bit farther!! I currently am training for my upcoming hockey season! Monday-Thursday I’m available for morning visits before 1 PM (as early as 7 AM), and for afternoon/evening visits anytime after 3PM. On weekends, I’m fully open and can do multiple visits, walks, or overnight stays. I will be going back to college in Salt Lake, Utah at the beginning of August (August 4th) and plan on switching services to that location! I plan my week around confirmed bookings and make sure your pets care never overlaps with something else. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable. I always leave the home clean and like to send updates (whether it’s a text or a photo) after visits so you know how things are going. If anything comes up (a change in behavior, a mess, or something out of the ordinary), I’ll let you know immediately. I treat every pet and home like i’d want mine to be treated.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was young and have cared for many different personalities over the years. I regularly help the family I used to live with by watching their dog whenever they travel, which shows the trust people place in me. Dogs tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I focus on gentle handling, consistent routines, and making sure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I work 6-8am and 3-7pm so I will home the most of the other time, and my husband get off after 5, there will be people in the house the most of the time! For cats boarding, our home has cat trees, cozy resting areas, and a Litter-Robot for a clean, low-stress environment. Cats are free to roam the house as long as they get along with our own cats. I always supervise introductions and make sure every cat has safe spaces to relax or hide if needed. Also if your cat feel like staying alone, we have a separate room set up ready as well. I’ve included photos of part of our home so you can see the environment your cat will stay in. For dogs, I provide drop-in visits or boarding, where dogs are most comfortable and able to follow their normal routines.

“Kaylee was super kind and communicative when dropping in to take care of my two cats. I had to reschedule last minute due to complications with my original caretaker, and Kaylee was super responsive and willing to help! She really saved us last minute. Also, one of my cats is very scared of new people, however he seemed to be very comfortable with Kaylee! I would use her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’m good with the basics like feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them, but I also make sure they’re getting attention and feeling comfortable while you’re gone. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible so they don’t feel stressed. I’ll keep you updated with pictures. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I plan my schedule around visits to make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I’m consistent, flexible, and make sure each pet gets the care they need. I follow each pet’s routine to keep things consistent, feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, give them attention based on their personality, and keep you updated while you’re away.
