Pet Sitting Fairgrounds

About: I’ve had a pet of my own for more than 10 years and have helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I love all type of dogs from breeds to size. I have a full time corporate job that demand three days in office. I am available to assist from Thursday to Sunday. There should be plenty of play time and ability to keep your pet company. I have a pet on my own with extra crate for your pup if needed. I am experienced with walking and controlling high energy dog. My house won’t have a yard so dog will be safe within the house.

“Very great experience with Mary! She was very good with my golden retriever spiky! Since it was hot she made sure to adjust the walk so he wouldn’t get too hot and she was very flexible when I had a change in schedule too! Definitely recommend”

About: I do have my own horses in which I care for everyday. I’ve also had other pets before as ducks, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I am currently in school to proceed further in my career for veterinary medicine. I currently do work at veterinary clinic in which I’ve learned a lot and have been very passionate about my job. My family and friends rely on me when it comes to siting their furry babies. I am currently working part time and in school. I am free anytime after 1:15 PM. I would love to watch any pup and would be able to work around schedules if needed! I do a have a backyard with some space to have some play time, and potty time. I also have an area inside my home where your furry baby can be if needed to be crated. I did have my furry baby who unfortunately passed away but was living his best life in and outside of my home.

“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”

“Courtney is awesome! She is so patient with our nervous dog, and he loves walking with her. I feel great knowing that he is safe and I totally trust her walking him, even thought he can be reactive - I know Courtney's totally got it :) She's also patient with the humans when we have crazy work schedules and the house is a mess all the time!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats in my home for as long as I can remember. I am currently trying to fill a pet void by helping out within my neighborhood until I can commit to having one of my own. I have always felt a special connection with pets and adore making them feel loved and cared for. I’m a part-time nurse, which gives me some extra days off—and I can’t think of a better way to spend them than hanging out with your pets! I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets truly become part of the family. I’d love to fill some of my downtime helping you feel confident that your favorite furry family members are getting plenty of love, attention, walks, cuddles, and company while you’re away. I’ve always had a special connection with animals—and honestly, I usually prefer their company to humans! 😂 I’m naturally caring, patient, attentive, and pretty good at noticing the little things, so I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’ll care for them like they’re my own, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, extra time outside, a little more patience with a nervous pet, or plenty of cuddles and company. Most of all, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your favorite family member is in loving, dependable hands while you’re away.

About: I have Animal Shelter and Pet Store experience. I have had pets all of my adult life and sincerely believe that they are the best enrichment of human lives. I have medication experience and have been trained to be cautious of medical conditions. I can be trusted to act fast for worst case scenarios (knock on wood). I know how to take the best care of pets with the knowledge I’ve learned from my own experiences over the years. I work full time at a dealership but, with enough notice I can make sure to be available for your pets when needed. I am available every evening after 7pm Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sundays and Mondays I have 2 cats, a free roaming rabbit and geckos at home with my partner. I love taking care of their individual needs and giving them treats and toys to make them happy.

“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!”

“Channing was great with our two shy kitties. She went over and above what we asked her to help out with and left our house cleaner than when we left! I would definitely use Channing again.”

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals. I walk around 15,000 steps a day, so I have no issue keeping up with active animals! I have two cats of my own and have fostered dogs of all sizes and personalities, from big to small ones. Through my experience and extensive research, I am very knowledgeable about pet body language and how to safely and calmly handle animals in a variety of situations. This also includes not being scared of them and knowing when animals are just trying to play! I am comfortable with caring for less traditional pets as well, including bunnies, reptiles, or other small animals. I’m not shy with the more gross parts of pet care such as accidents, vomit, pee, all kinds of messes are part of caring for animals and it’s something I’m comfortable to do! I’m happy to help your pet and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. I believe every animal deserves patience, understanding, and love. Behavior is a form of communication and even when a pet is scared, anxious, reactive, or difficult, there is always a reason behind it and I take time to understand that reason, and meet each animal where they are. My Goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, loved and comfortable while in my care! I currently work part-time and go to school part-time. My school schedule is currently Mondays from 10:45 am-12:05 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:45am - 12:05pm, as well as 3:15 pm - 4:35 pm. For my work schedule, my start times vary from 3pm to 6pm, and I consistently get Tuesdays & Thursdays off. 7 am is my usual wake up time, so I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your animals! I do my best to keep the pets normal routine and make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I take time to learn each pets personality, preferences, habits, and boundaries, so I can care for them in the way that works best for them. I’m very patient and adaptable, I am also creative when a pet is hesitant or difficult to work with. If I need to distract a pet, redirect their attention, get them to take something they don’t want to take, or encourage them to do something they don’t want to do, I am good at finding solutions that work with their personality, rather than forcing them. After learning an animal’s behaviors and personality, I usually adjust my approach based on that. I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime. I also make it a point to keep the home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to clean up accidents or messes and make sure everything is in order when I leave. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Chang was so responsive, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of our dog at a drop in! She also took wonderful photos to update us. Wonderful experience and our dog is so happy!”

“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: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending calm, attentive time with animals and focusing on their comfort and routine. I currently live with a family dog, which has given me ongoing experience with daily care and understanding pet behavior. In the past, I also cared for a hamster, which taught me responsibility and consistency with small animals. I am especially attentive during drop-in visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m a recent graduate currently volunteering with Animal Assisted Happiness on Sundays, with times that vary. I also receive training through San Jose Animal Care Center. My schedule is generally flexible outside of these commitments, and I’m available for drop-in pet care during the week and on other days. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets (including litter boxes or pads if needed), and spend time with them through companionship and light play. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a cattle ranch in a small town in Utah, surrounded by animals of all kinds. From livestock and horses to chickens, goats, potbellied pigs, and multiple family dogs, caring for animals was simply a part of everyday life. Those experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique personalities and needs of different animals from an early age. As an adult, my passion for animals has only grown. I personally trained my own service dog, gaining valuable experience in obedience training, behavior management, consistency, and building strong bonds through trust and communication. Today, I share my home with three amazing dogs: my service dog and her two sisters. After close friends sadly passed away, I adopted her sisters so they could remain together. The girls have been inseparable since they were puppies, and watching their lifelong bond has deepened my appreciation for the emotional connections dogs form with one another. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, structured routines, or plenty of affection, I provide attentive, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is my daily life. With open availablity and work from home it works out great for me as a bay area photographer it gives me the time to spend with the pups with minimal time away. right now, I am taking care of clients for babies at their homes taking them for walks to their favorite places hikes and if the client wants play dates with my girls following feeding and medication requirements and needs for each individual Pup

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: 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 from home. I am available to walk your dog every 2 hours if needed. Also, I can feed meds to your cat if required. I want to give your pet the special attention it needs. I can accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie! I have owned dogs and pets my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of personalized attention, love, and care during their stay. I have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is super friendly and loves making new friends! I work remotely, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for overnight boarding and daycare. I especially love working with recurring families so I can build a relationship with you and your furry friend and help them feel comfortable and at home during every stay. I’m a very outdoorsy person and love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s going to the park, exploring a dog-friendly trail, or enjoying a nice long walk. We also have a yard for plenty of playtime and outdoor fun! I can’t wait to meet you and give your pup a fun, loving, and personalized home-away-from-home! 🐶💕 I work remote and have a flexible schedule over the week so I will be able to spend all day with your best friend and give them all the love and attention they need while you are away! Your pup will be going on walks throughout the day or a trip to the dog park. I would prefer to watch your pet in my own home but am also open to pet sitting and can make arrangements to visit your pet.
