Pet Sitting Fairgrounds

“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.”

“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!!”

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! :)

“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 used to volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I spent my free time walking and caring for dogs. I loved getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they got the exercise and attention they needed. I truly miss it, and I’m excited to spend time caring for your pup like they’re my own. (I also love running please let me know if you want me to take your dog on a run!) Free on the weekends! During the week I’m free in the mornings or after work at 3pm! Would love to interact with animals more since I can’t own any in my apartment. I’m very used to big dogs and or aggressive cats it’s very situational but I’m confident I can handle any pet! I don’t offer boarding at my place unfortunately.

“Sandy was very kind and attentive. I felt very comfortable with her stopping by to check in on our 9 month old golden retriever. Thank you, Sandy!”

“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: 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.

“Chang was amazing with Arlo! She took such good care of him and sent the cutest photos during their walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was prompt, communicative, and super easy to work with. I’d definitely book her again!”

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.

“Kate is fantastic!! She treated our little puppy so well and sent very cute photos. She is very trustworthy and is a great dog sitter!!”

“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’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.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 3 years old. I understand the love, care, and trust that pet owners invest in their animals, as well as the stress that can come with leaving them in someone else's care. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I leave the house for roughly 3 hours per day in order to take care of my personal fairs. I have no other obligations during my day other than attending to my horse (your dog is welcome to join me!!) for those 3 hours. I am always attentive and respectful in my clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and rules that help keep them safe and comfortable, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. Want your pet on the sofa? Great—they can relax on their favorite cushion. Prefer that they stay out of the kitchen? No problem. I'll work with you to maintain the boundaries and routines your pet is accustomed to. My goal is to provide consistent care that keeps your pet happy and gives you peace of mind while you're away.

“Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

“Jennifer has been a life saver for us and our pup since my wife and I both ended up back at work. Jennifer has been doing drop in visits with Nugget once or twice a week, whenever one of us can’t make it back for lunch, and is even available on the weekend if it’s date night. And she packs in a short walk, a feeding and some cuddle/play time during her drop-in. We look forward to her future play dates with our pup! We feel so great to not have to leave Nugget at home by himself for extended periods of time without some good drop in company!”

About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.

About: I have a dog of my own and have been caring for and watching dogs for the past few years. Through that experience, I've become comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm reliable, active, and attentive to each pet's individual needs and routine. Whether it's overnight care, drop-in visits, or daily walks, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I'm a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I'm an active person who enjoys being outside, so regular walks and exercise are something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also keeping their environment clean and safe. Communication is important to me, so I'll provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!”
