Pet Sitting Fairgrounds

“Yumei came to check in and spend some time with my newly adopted, slightly anxious husky. Breeze was immediately drawn to her and appreciated her calming presence!”

“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! :)

“Rachel helped us out with a last-minute booking to check in our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. This was our first time working with Rachel, and we so appreciated how quickly she understood and jumped into this new environment with new clients and new pets. Rachel was very quick to respond via Rover, responsible, and gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands. Thanks again!”

“Matt is awesome! We booked him for multiple days the other month & most recently today. He’s thorough, reliable, and all the dogs love him. 10/10 recommend.”

“Shelby is great! She is very responsive. We will definitely use Shelby again in the future to watch our cat!”

Emilu G.

“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.”

Brad L.

“If I could give Terry 10 stars I would. She is the person you hope to find on Rover--responsible, sweet, caring, smart and more! Terry not only took wonderful care of my cat, she also helped me with a couple small house tasks while I was gone, and left detailed fun notes on each Rover card. When I came home everything looked great, even the plant she cared for looked better than it ever did! I'll definitely be booking her again.”

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!

“Amazing experience! Will def get back to her when I need to travel :)”

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 more special needs. I am a confident caretaker and hope to be trusted to take care of your fur babies and provide them with as much comfort as possible! I’m currently working full time at a doggie daycare in San Jose so I get to work with dogs all the time. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to help out and look after your furry friends as well! I’m very flexible and i’ll make sure to make the time to give your pet the attention and care that they need. :) I love to get your pup out in the sun to get some fresh air and exercise. Nothing more healing than the sun! Nearby parks or specific routes that they enjoy ensures that they are comfortable while you are away. I always make sure to play with them so they can get some energy out while having the fun they need. Although a pup will soon get tired and so while they nap I of course give them the much needed rest and space.

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: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.

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.

“Way to go Rachael! Beau seemed to really enjoy your visits!”

Yahya R.

“Michelle took care of Mocha during the day with drop-in visits when we needed help. We are new to the area, and finding someone caring and reliable eased our worries. She did an excellent job, and we'll be hiring her in the future to provide care for our dog and 2 cats.”

Rebecca L.

“Nasrin is awesome, I’m glad that she was able to help me look after my best girl, Jayne. Meeting with Nasrin to introduce her to my elderly pup was a treat and though Jayne can be a little shy in he old age I was confident that it was a good match for drop-in care while I was away for an evening. This is my first time using Rover, Nasrin made the experience great for my doggo and for me.”

About: Having owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life—including years of pet-sitting—I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet my full attention whenever you need support. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting, your pet will enjoy attentive, personalized care with the perfect mix of play, walks, and dedicated attention. I primarily work remotely from home with a highly flexible routine, allowing me to focus on your pet throughout the entire day. Because I am on-site continuously, I can provide frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, play breaks, and quick neighborhood walks. I easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding and exercise schedule without leaving them unattended. Safety and peace of mind are my highest priorities. When pets are in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and fully pet-proofed space equipped with comfortable resting areas and secure environments. For care hosted in your home, I strictly follow your established routines, care instructions, and safety boundaries. Regardless of location, I ensure all doors and windows remain secure and double-check all leashes and gear before heading outside.

“Ana is very professional, caring, and reliable. I have a large young dog who just had a procedure and had to wear a cone for the first time. Ana was able to provide support for him even with a cone and crate while he was figuring things out and healing. We’re very grateful for her services.”
