Pet Sitting Fairgrounds

“Mary was great with our initial meet and greet. She provided a thorough update for Kylo's walk and some awesome pictures to follow. Will re-book!”

“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!!”

“Sandy was great! She took time to come over the day before to meet our boys and get comfortable with them, she arrived early and took great care of our fur babies. We would definitely call Sandy again!”

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! :)

“Jennifer is fantastic! Our regular sitter recently moved and we have been concerned we wouldn’t find someone to care for our kitties like she did. The moment we met Jeniffer we knew she would be perfect. She is attentive, detail oriented, and very passionate about animals. Jennifer goes above and beyond and is highly communicative. She is very patient with our shy kitty as he takes a while to warm up to new people. We will be using Jennifer as our regular sitter moving forward - highly recommend!!”

“Aivy was an amazing cat sitter who stood up to the plate with all my crazy detailed instructions and even took additional time to repair the litter robot when it malfunctioned. I appreciated her super fast communication too. My funny cats warmed up to her immediately. Aivy is now officially on my list of the trusted cat sitters who I will for sure hire in the future when needed.”

About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a furry family member. I have personal experience with feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to keep their routine consistent. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in caring hands! 🐶❤️ I'm currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I love spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I'm happy to work around each pet's routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I do my best to communicate clearly with owners about my availability and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow all instructions provided by their owner. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and loving environment. I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm careful about keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, and making sure they're comfortable in their surroundings. I also respect each owner's home and belongings. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with someone else, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. I'll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own! 🐾❤️

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.

About: I currently have 3 medium to large dogs so I'm great with managing several dogs at a time. Two are elderly, which have helped me develop confidence in caring for senior dogs including those with reduced mobility, joint diseases like osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and degenerative myelopathy. Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was a pre-teen so I'm happy to take care of your member(s) of the family! I recently moved to the area and am working part time so I have a lot of flexibility in hours! Weekdays are preferred with mornings and afternoons open to walking or dropping in on your pet or pets. Weekday evenings are available except for 3:30 till 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When walking or dropping in for a visit on your dog, I will happily follow any instructions you may have for your pet. I feel confident administering medications if needed by your pet. From caring for my own dogs, I know that settling in after a walk can be just important as the exercise they get! I'd love to help in whatever ways will ease your mind about your dog being comfortable at home. Because of my own dogs, I always have poop bags too!

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house at a time. Taking care of and walking dogs has always been a staple to my everyday routine and overall life. In the past 4 years my family and I have begun to foster dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities. They came in and out of our house often and each dog had different needs you had to accommodate for. The most difficult were puppies, who seemed to be either very shy or very energetic. While the dogs stayed at our house I would take on the task of feeding and walking them and overtime I got better and better. I love to work with dogs and I’m so excited to meet and help more dogs in new areas! I’m currently a full-time student at San Jose State University but I will always make time for you dogs! My best time for walking dogs is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and anytime Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While for home visits my best times are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my own home but at a client’s home I will make sure to respect any rules and focus on the dog’s needs above any other things. For myself, taking care of dogs at home has always been making sure they’re well fed, well walked, and have everything they need to have a good time.

About: I’ve loved animals more than anything since I was little and as an adult that hasn’t changed. I’ve taken care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family pets so I’ve learned how to take care of cats, dogs, and birds through experience. You won’t have to worry about your family member while you’re away, their safety and happiness is my #1 priority. I’m currently In school so I am able to take care of your pet(s) Monday through Friday as early as 5am in the morning to 2pm. Don't be afraid to ask for my help outside of those hours! I always prefer to ask how you take care of your pet since you know them best and certain care needs they may have. From there I will follow your lead and may even throw an extra treat or 2 in there.

About: My household has always been filled with animals. From snakes, to chickens, to cats and dogs, which I took a part in caring for all. My childhood dog was a pitbull/lab that was rescued into my family as a puppy and I was taught to train him with patience and kindness. I have also had to care full time for bottle fed kittens that I rescued, and successfully found a loving home for. I have a big place in my heart for all animals no matter the breed or size. I am currently at college so I had to sadly leave all my pets at home with my family, so I am missing getting to see my animals every day. But while I was home I cared for my cat daily and took her to the vet frequently. While I had a pet dog I would walk him daily and take him on hikes and other fun adventures. I have learned to be very patient will all animals because every pet will react differently to a situation. I am very flexible on whatever pet care is needed. I can thoroughly care for any pet and I have pet sat for dogs that were not familiar with me many times. I have had experience with leash aggressive dogs and unfriendly cats, and always try my best to be patient and stay calm. I am capable of any care that the owner is comfortable with.

About: I've always been an animal enthusiast for the longest time! As long as i remember I've taken care of a plethora of pets from a small goldfish to an energetic Doberman. This experience has given me a keen eye and compassion on how to keep pets happy and cared for! I'm currently a full-time student with a lot of flexible hours, which means more time to take care of your furry companion. I'm available for sitting and walks: all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and in the early day on Saturdays. I'll be sure that not only does your pet (or pets) stay happy and clean but your home as well! If you have any specifications concerning caring or walking your pets I'll follow them to a T!

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets in the past ranging from cats, dogs, elderly, special needs, and even multiple at the same time. Currently I’m a full-time college student, but since I have no job currently I’ve found pet caretaking to be something that can fit into my rapidly varying schedule from everyday classes to having to non-stop studying for tests and finals. I also find it helpful as a way to allow me to focus on something apart from my studies and give me something more productive and enjoyable to do. I always do my best to make sure the animal is feeling safe and comfortable with me in their environment to establish trust and respect. From this point I like to approach the animals as I’ve been advised to by the owner, as well as taking into consideration any rules/habits/concerns that their owners have mentioned when walking, playing with, or watching over their pet.

Expect leisure walks, real playtime, and a calm home with two easygoing resident dogs and two cats who help new guests settle in fast. Daily photo and video updates come standard, and more anytime you ask. We recommend a Meet & Greet first so your dog can get comfortable and you can ask us anything. Because we work remotely, your dog gets company all day. Frequent potty breaks, walks, and playtime/mental stimulation games happen naturally throughout the day since we're always home to supervise. We're two minutes from grassy fields and walking paths, so outdoor time is easy and frequent. The routine stays structured yet flexible, tailored to each dog's energy level and normal habits. Available on weekdays, weekends, and for extended stays, with last-minute bookings supported whenever possible. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. Our home stays clean, calm, and supervised; dogs are never left unattended, and we introduce pets thoughtfully to keep the environment peaceful. We spot clean any mess right away with pet safe products, on top of routine cleaning and mopping, so the space stays fresh and safe between walks and playtime. Crate available if requested, though most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy resting spots of their own. You'll get daily photo and video updates, plus more anytime you ask, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. We recommend a Meet & Greet before booking to make sure it's a great fit for everyone.

“Courtney was great taking care of my dog for 10 days (19 visits). She provided good service and daily updates after each visit. This was the first time she took care of my dog and I came back to a happy pet and clean house. I would hire her again.”

Farzad H.

“Rachel took great care of our 3 cats while we were gone for the weekend. I didn't have any issues communicating with her, and she was very prompt when replying to my messages. Rachel was very thorough, and the cats were happy and healthy with her. Just like other pet parents, leaving your fur babies at hole whole you're miles away isn't always easy but Rachel made us feel comfortable. She sent videos and photos of our cats, which were really appreciated! Would love to have her again in the future to take care of our cats.”

Taylor W.

“This was our first visit from Michelle and we can already tell it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Twyla seemed to warm up to her quickly, even asking for belly rubs, which she does not do for anyone other than her closest humans. Michelle was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of photos.”

About: I grew up with countless dogs and had the joy of raising dogs from puppyhood to adulthood alongside my father. Breeds that range from Jack Russells to Dalmations. I have also worked in the veterinary industry, I helped run a dog boarding facility within a animal hospital. Experience with assisting in minor operations. I am now pursuing dog training as a potential career. I work closely with trainers from established facilities within the Bay Area. I can provide a safe experience for any dogs, regardless of breed & temperament. I am avid outdoorsman, so I can take your dogs on hikes if you're ever interested! Please don't hesitate to reach out! I hope to get know as many people as I can. I'm currently working full time but I'm free most days of the week after 5 pm. So if you need to do any chores or shopping, I'd fit in perfectly to your schedule after your busy day! My weekends are available throughout the day, so if you're looking for someone to give your dog a great weekend, look no further! I have the utmost respect for animals and genuinely care for their well being. Their safety comes first at the end of the day. I will take my time introducing myself with no pressure involved. I am experienced at dealing with many real world scenarios that require a deft hand. All I want for the client's pet is for them to have fun and do it in a safe manner!

“I needed someone to come in the mornings to feed my cats. Tyler was available after my original Rover booking canceled on me at the last minute. He checked in with me before leaving each day to make sure that I didn't need anything else. I appreciated the status updates and follow-up questions to be as helpful as he could.”
