Pet care experience

Insured Safe Pet Care in San Jose

How are you doing? I started pet sitting for my aunt's cats and dogs in 2019, which then led to me starting my own business in 2023. I work from home, which means I can accommodate high-energy and elderly dogs with both an open schedule and flexibility. I'm also insured with Pet Care Insurance, so your pet's care and health are covered under my watch. PLEASE NOTE: I usually sit one large dog (depending on the breed) only from Friday morning to Sunday evening. For smaller dogs, I can sit for all week. I'm willing to board on a case-by-case basis, so please feel free to message me.

Boarding • giu 17, 2026

I had an emergency this weekend and my usual dog boarding was booked up. Rover usually needs you to book 2 weeks in advance so I was worried I would be in a pickle. I was looking for a sitter a day before I needed to board him. After a few rejections from others, Ronald agreed to dog sit. He was prompt in messaging and asking me relevant questions the day I booked. Through his stay, he sent me pictures of Rainer and they made my day. I highly recommend him for your dog.

Ronald is very responsive and he was able to send me photos every day while I’m away. My dog has also spent good time with him so I would recommend!

Ronald took such good care of Buddy! He was incredibly responsive and diligent from the first contact to whenever we communicated during his stay, making sure he understood all the details of his care. We just picked him up and he was very happy and healthy. Ronald sent us pictures everyday, many of them of Buddy sprawled sleeping upside down, obviously comfortable and feeling at home. We really appreciated Ronald’s diligent care and the peace of mind it gave us!

Ronald picked up and dropped off on time. He also sent pictures daily and Benji seemed happy to see him when he picked him up the second time.

Safety, trust & environment

My two-story house has a big backyard for your dogs to play in, and a wooden fence so they won't be able to escape easily. I require all pets to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, especially Bordetella. Unfortunately, I do not accept dogs with specifically extreme separation anxiety, aggressive and destructive behavior, and constant escape. I appreciate your support of my small business. I’m pretty responsive, so send me a message and we can discuss what we can do.

A typical day

Long walks are the best exercise a dog could get, especially at Northwood Park and Ringwood Court, as they're big with plenty of open space to walk around in. Feeding, grooming, and playing are my favorite activities during a stay. I will provide daily updates and photos so you can stay in touch with how your fuzzy pets are doing.

Please let me know if your dogs have any special needs, have at least a case of separation anxiety, and/or are house trained. I also like to know if your dog(s) uses a crate. All necessary items and feeding instructions are important for me to account for and prepare for your dog's stay. In case of an emergency, I like to know who their main vet is for overnight stays, and if your dog has been exposed to or had any kind of sickness in the last 2 weeks. I have no experience using a shock collar, so I won't accept clients who use such a collar. If you have more than one pet, please create a profile with photos for each one rather than just one profile that is shared for all pets. Please wash your dog(s) before the booking if you can as well.
