Cat Sitting in Los Gatos

About: I have supported my wife in watching animals on Rover but recently took the jump to make my own profile on Rover! I have professionally cared for dogs on Rover since 2017. From pet boarding in our home to house sitting in the homes of others, I have professionally cared for pups of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. My wife and I have two goldendoodles (8 and 6 years old). Growing up, my family has fostered many dogs and so I have experience with various breeds and pups with special needs. Currently I am taking classes to further my education and work a flexible schedule professionally reffing soccer games which are usually one to two hours in length. I live an active lifestyle but also love to have relaxing days depending on your dog’s needs. I understand how much trust goes into having someone else care for your furbaby let alone opening up your own home. I treat the home I come into with respect and follow any rules and cultural considerations for any homes I enter. I respect rules set by you and my main priority is to keep the dog(s) I am watching on their normal schedule until their humans are back home!

“Kristin is an amazing dog sitter and we are so fortunate to have found her. Our dogs are very senior, with both being blind and one is deaf, and she was extremely gentle. We will definitely have her back.”

About: Loving and responsible mamma dog, I have two rescued myself. They are a pitbull and a sheppard mix so I can definitely take care of big dogs. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Mornings and evenings walks during the week as I work during the day and I have full availability during the weekends to take care of them with walks and cuddles. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Love sending pictures while playing with them and taking care of them.

“While I was away for the weekend, my sister-in-law unexpectedly was no longer able to care for my dog. I reached out to Mamu, and thankfully, they were available to drop in on short notice. Later, another emergency came up where we missed our connecting flight and couldn’t make it home for an extra day. I contacted Mamu again, and once more, they came through and were able to stop by and care for my dog with very short notice. I’m incredibly grateful for their flexibility and reliability, especially under these stressful situations.”

“Debbie went above and beyond watching our two fur babies. If Lupini & Truffle could leave 10/5 stars they would! She loved and cared for them like they were her own. We are so lucky to have found Debbie!”

“Etta was great with my two cats. She had them both eating out of her hand. She was dependable, kept everything tidy and even took my trash cans out and brought them back in. What I appreciated most were the pictures and updates she gave me every day. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Allison is always doing a great job looking after our two cats. She even gets them to come out of hiding and pose for a photo which is a feat in itself. Well for sure book her again.”

“Great communication. Thanks so much Jennifer.”

“Elise consistently does a wonderful job caring for my cat. She showed up during the agreed upon time windows, followed all instructions, sent daily photos. My cat is advanced in age and on a special diet and I know he is in good hands when she is available.”

About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including administering medications and injections when needed. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also enjoy sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and updates throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, and any specific care requests from pet owners. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection.

“Sydney was great. Was super flexible despite a change in time. It was clear she cared for our cat Huchu deeply. She provided many photos and daily updates. Even went above and beyond asking to help take out trash! Would recommend her highly. And she will be our first choice again.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and providing overnight care for several years, working with dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Great Dane mixes. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or fearful pups who need patience and reassurance. For the past several months, I’ve taken shelter dogs on field trips through County of Santa Clara Animal Services, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs in new environments, on hikes, and in stimulating settings. This has strengthened my leash handling, situational awareness, and ability to read canine body language. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I understand that seniors may need a slower pace and gentle care, while puppies require consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away :) As a student, I have a structured but flexible schedule which allows me to consistently fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits, and I plan my class schedule to allow time for reliable pet care commitments. Pet care fits naturally into my week—whether that means morning walks before class, midday drop-ins, or evening visits and overnights. I’m organized and intentional about managing my time, so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On weekends, I have even greater flexibility for longer visits, extended stays, or multiple drop-ins per day. I prioritize clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your pet is in consistent, attentive care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routes, house rules, and any specific behavioral needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, remain attentive on walks, and closely monitor pets during visits. I’m mindful of potential hazards and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it—clean, secure, and respected. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I treat both with the highest level of care and respect.

“I had some chaotic things happening during Holly’s visit for my dog and she took care of everything! I’m super happy that I was able to book her on such short notice. And I love how well she took care of Cru!”

“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”
