“Manuela was wonderful. She was on time, kind, made our dog feel comfortable, took him on multiple walks and made sure he had all he needed to feel safe and happy while we were away. I would definitely recommend Manuela! Thank you for taking such great care of our dog!”

“Jessica was a wonderful sitter for our older chihuahua! She went above and beyond to meet with us multiple times with Beya so they could be better acquainted before the booking started. She followed all of our rules we laid out for the house to a T. She also took the time to send daily photos and a few videos while she watched our pup, they were amazing to receive. Another great thing about her is she let us know her schedule beforehand and the amount of time she could spend with Beya which worked perfectly for us and the expectations we had. If there was every a change or mix-up with time she reached out promptly to let us know if she was running behind or to update us. When we arrived home everything was better than we left it! So thanks so much Jessica. We'd use her again for Beya in the future. We know for sure Beya enjoyed staying with someone she could rely on, our dog is very vocal in her personality and usually when we come home she ignores us because she is upset we left. But this time she was super excited and relaxed when we came home. All the more reason we'd use Jessica again for a booking.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. My family has needed pet sitters to feed, walk, and watch their pets day in and day out. I can watch cats or dogs anyday of the week with 3 days notice. I have to be home by 9 every night to be with my cats. I pay attention to all of the animals in my vicinity. I feed, walk, and pet-sit overnight if you need. Your pets are my top priority.
“Jamie was a caring, kind sitter and I felt totally confident after meeting her that she would take excellent care of my little dog. She was understanding and helpful while I was on vacation. A pleasure meeting and working with her on all arrangements!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! The sitter was attentive and loving, taking my cockapoo puppy for delightful strolls in a stroller while ensuring my 6-year-old labradoodle was comfortable and happy. It was clear they genuinely cared for my pets, and I returned home to two very content dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, but I especially love dogs and cats. I help care for my two grand pups, a golden retriever, and a German shepherd mix. You can often find me walking around Gilroy with one or the other. I also have 4 cats, all rescued from the wild! I volunteer with feeding multiple feral cat colonies in town also. You’d think I have no time to care for other pets, but I’m RETIRED! 😬 I love it! And I’d love to help you with your pets while you work or just need a break!

I offer to come to your home to provide whatever care is needed, from walks and yard play, to feedings and kitty snuggles. Just let me know what is needed!
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. It began with raising my childhood dog, a black lab named Hannah.

I look forward to meeting your pet soon! While I am unable to care for pets in my own home, I will gladly take care of them in yours and follow any instruction provided.

About: I have been taking care of family's, friends', and neighbors' dogs since I was a teenager. I love playing catch, walking with the dogs, or just lounging around with them. I am an empty nester and work part time as a fire investigator and so I have more time to devote to my other passions: pets and travel. I am respectful of your wants and needs for your fur babies and will make every effort to ensure that they are safe, happy, and are having fun.... whatever that may be for them.
About: Since before I was born, my family has owned dogs; I was born into a pup-loving family :) When I was 9, I got my own dog and have given him so much love and care ever since! From that point, we've gotten 2 more dogs and even a rabbit, and have been caring for them for years. Needless to say, I have had a LOT of dog experience and can do just about anything that caring for your dog requires-walking, playing, feeding, bathing, cuddling, etc. Being away at college, I've been very doggie-deprived, and would love to be able to spend some time with your pup to make up for the time I've lost with my own! Other than my class schedule, my availability is very open! I am available Mondays after 11:30am, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 4pm, as well as weekends. It is very important for me and your pup to become familiarized with each other before I spent any period of time with them. That being said, I prioritize being mindful of your pet's behavior and the routine they follow so I can best accommodate to it's needs. My goal is to also ensure that your pup is in a safe, comfortable environment that keeps them happy and healthy!

About: I’m a firefighter with a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for your pets. After losing my senior dog of nearly 16 years, I hope to spend my off days giving other pets the same love and attention. I provide attentive care that follows each dog’s established routine, ensuring consistency and comfort. I focus on safety, clear communication, and treating every pet with respect and patience. My experience caring for my senior dog strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and ability to support pets with unique needs. I apply that same level of care to the pets I watch.
“This was the very first time leaving my girls with someone other than family. De Vonne was great. She sent me pictures of the girls and took good care of them. I have already booked her for the end of September to watch them again. Thank you De Vonne so much!”


“Tracey was so amazing with my 2 cats, and took great care of my apartment while I was away! She sent me pictures and videos of my babies all the time, and was really good about updating me to let me know how they were doing. Am already planning to book her for my next vacation!”
