“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”
About: Hello, my name is Leslie I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies and birds. I grew up helping my mom take care of our pets and have always had a huge love for animals. Trust your fur baby will be well taken care of! ❤️ I am a full time student and full time worker but will make sure that our schedules align in order to accommodate yours and your pets needs. I have three friendly dogs of my own at home that I take care of. I have experience trimming nails and bathing. I also offer walks. :)
“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”
“Sarit is very conscientious, a great communicator, and has a genuine love for animals. We were very nervous about leaving our 5 month old kitten for a family trip but Sarit put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We will certainly be using her again.”
About: I learned dog/cat care from my grandmother. She taught me her special side of respecting and caring the animals no matter what kind. I have had a dog for 14 years of my life, his name was Panda. I am very excited to board dogs in my home and give them a healthy and playful environment. I am also excited to take them on long walks. I volunteered at Aurora Animal Shelter for 2 years and learnt to give behavioural training for kittens/cats. I fostered more than 6 cats apart from my own 2 cats for the past 1 year. I currently work 3 days a week from office, and my husband works remote. He is an animal lover too and loves to spend time with my cats at home. I spend time with my cats early morning and late night when they are fully active and excited to play. I take them on a walk (on leash) once a week. They enjoy some time out of home. I would like to give your pet any special attention that is needed. I will accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.
“Booked Son again for my 80 pound pit-bull. 5 stars as always, he is very accommodating, punctual, and takes care of your pets as if they are his own. My dog Maru loves him!”
About: I grew up caring for many animals such as birds, fish, turtles, dogs, and cats. I have trained dogs and raised many kittens and puppies. I am a college student and am free daily after my classes are over in the afternoon. I am free weekends to care for your pets as well! I love going on walks with dogs and have lots of energy to play with your pups. I can also just relax with your cat while they sunbathe.
About: Hi! Some of you might recognize me if you have visited Biscuits dog boutique, where I have worked for 5 years. Since I worked at a dog boutique, I am used to seeking multiple dogs of all shapes and sizes. In addition to that I have volunteered with Town Cats, Nike Animal Rescue Foundation, and the veterinary clinic at the San Jose Animal Care Center. I have also pet sitted and fostered animals for friends. I personally have cared for my own dog for 16 years, who unfortunately has passed over the rainbow bridge, so I have basically grown up raising him. I found my current dog, Peanut (Parson Terrier mix), on the street and kept him after I couldn't find his owner. He was initially fearful, so I have experience with fearful dogs. My current apartment doesn't allow pets so he is mostly at my mom's house. I work from home so I am available most days at any time. Occasionally I will have to go in the office once every 4 months. I have experience with dogs from 5-120 lbs. If a dog is over 70 lbs, I would prefer to walk them with my boyfriend for additional safety.
“Excellent communication with prompt replies to all of my messages. A meet and greet was proactively requested before the first dog walk which is typically something I need to ask for. Always on time for the walks. No issues at all. Would definitely use again.”
About: As a pet-loving family, we adore our Ragdoll cat and Samoyed dog. Both are girls who get along wonderfully together, and we truly cherish every moment we spend with our beloved pets. We are an Asian engineering couple living in San Jose. Our family of four includes a beloved dog and cat, and we take great pride in creating a home filled with love. We dedicate plenty of time to playing with our pets and capturing memories through photos. We ensure they stay healthy and happy with high-quality food, fresh water, and their favorite treats.
“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! ✨😌”
“TR is a great cat sitter. Would hire her any day ! My entire trip was so peaceful because I got photos and videos of my babies during every visit and I had nothing to worry. Thanks, TR. she even made my Picky cat eat her food well.”
About: I live for dogs! Not only am I the happiest being around them, I love and care for them as if they are family. I have ALWAYS been around dogs, they've been a vital part of my life however; my heart was broken when having to put my fur baby, Rocky, to rest. Although my heart still aches, he left me with skills I can use to help others. Because of his conditions, I am an expert at administering all types of meds, working with behavior challenges such as high anxiety and reactiveness, as well as being careful with food and environmental allergies. I would love to bring an active friend on hikes during the weekends, play with one during the week, or have a roommate while you go about your plans knowing your baby will be treated with the utmost care, fun, and respect.
“I was anxious about leaving my cat alone right after my move but Rachel was great with Calvin. She sent me pictures everyday and even cleaned up his accidents. When I asked her to stay for longer with my cat, she made sure to do it and make the cat comfortable. He eventually let her pet him! I would definitely recommend Rachel to my friends and ask her to pet sit Calvin again.”
“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”
About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 14. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, and even my neighbors furry companions! I have experience taking care of Senior dogs as well as dogs that have a little more special needs. I am a confident caretaker and hope to be trusted and relied on to take care of your fur babies and provide them with as much comfort as possible! I’m currently working part-time so I have time to play and take care of any fur babies. I am also a wrestling coach at a local high school so I am usually gone for about 2 hours in the evening but i’d still be available for mornings, later afternoons, as well as later into the night. I will go and take walks with them so they have time to spend out in the sun. I make sure to play with them so they are able to get some energy out and have some fun. If they are tired or are in need of some time alone I like to leave them space to relax and make themselves comfortable.

Estefania did an amazing job watching our two elder cats!! They instantly warmed up to her! She was very reliable and provided great photos of our pets daily. If there were any questions, she asked and did a great job watching our house as well. We had a very bad wind storm that knocked over our basketball net onto one of our cars and she made sure it was lowered to the ground and no damage was done!! We were away for a month and she provided consistent care with wonderful communication.
I definitely recommend Skylee. My senior cat is on multiple meds and have certain dietary needs, and when I first met Skylee, she took down a lot of notes and asked questions to make sure she understands everything well. I really felt reassured when I was away with the detailed updates that she left and she took a lot of photos. Will book again in the future. Thank you!
Mary was an amazing sitter for my cat. Pepper is not easy, she is a little shy and is not friendly with strangers at all. However, Mary managed to win her over, and even got Pepper to ask for belly rubs! I was so happy and surprised that she got her to warm up. She sent me detailed reports and tons of photos everyday, which was great. I would 100% book Mary again and recommend her to other pet owners.
Tania did a wonderful job caring for my two cats, including one who is very timid and shy. She was patient, gentle, and respectful of her boundaries, which really helped her feel safe. Both cats were well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciated the thoughtful updates and the genuine care she showed. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving cat carer, especially those with more sensitive personalities. Tania also took on the task of watching our bearded dragons and snake and caring for our fish. Everything was well cared for and maintained exactly as instructed, and it’s clear she is knowledgeable, attentive, and comfortable working with a variety of animals.
Lauren checked in on our 2 kittens several times throughout our 3-week holiday. She is incredibly thorough, communicative, and understanding. She consistently goes above and beyond and has demonstrated great patience with our anxious kitties. We trust her and will continue to depend on her!
