Insured Safe Pet Care in San Jose

PLEASE NOTE: I will only accept dogs that are at most 30 pounds for all seven days of the week (unless it's a corgi). 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.

Ronald was absolutely great! He provided daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was doing well. He followed all of my instructions carefully and always reached out if he had any questions or needed clarification. He was very prompt and responsive throughout the entire stay. Most importantly, I could tell that Ronald genuinely cared for my dog and treated him with kindness and attention. I would definitely recommend Ronald to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible sitter. I would happily book with him again!

This is the first time I board Luna in 9 years, and for 11 days. I was worried that she would be anxious in a new environment. Apparently Luna took to Ronald well, enjoying her daily walks and tummy rubs. The daily snapshots of Luna and communications from Ronald assured me that she is in good hands. Ronald is a conscientious sitter and I feel at ease sending Luna to him. Thank you Ronald.

Ronald was really flexible with our drop off time since we drove from LA that same day and he was open to sit for them without meeting them first, this meant a lot since we weren’t in the area prior to that weekend. We were in the Bay Area for a family gathering and needed someone to look after Yogi and Simba for two nights. Both of our pups were in good hands with Ronald, he followed our instructions and made them feel comfortable while we were away. Would definitely recommend him and book again when in town.

Ronald was a great sitter - took wonderful care of my dog. Sent multiple pictures of my dog everyday - quick to respond. He followed all our instructions, walked the dog multiple times a day. Our dog was one happy camper.

Ronald provided excellent care for my dog. He gave timely daily updates and was consistent with walks and feeding, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My dog appeared happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. I would definitely book with him again and recommend him to others.

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.

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
