House Sitting North San Jose

“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

“Alexus did an amazing job with our girl, Hippie! She stayed with her while we were gone for 2 weeks and she took excellent care of our dog. She updated us with photos and videos, and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She is very sweet with our dog and make sure she got in her walks every day, even working around the extreme heat. Alexus also had to deal with some unexpected home issues (ant infestation, fallen tree branches, etc.) while we were gone, and idd a great job helping us and communicating with us throughout. I would highly recommend Alexus and Hippie can't wait to have her visit again!”

“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”

“Tatiana was a blessing! My husband and I had to travel to India due to a family emergency and Tatiana was literally our knight in shining armor! Super at communication and sent many updates throughout. She took Baloo to the beach and was even able to walk my anxious pup! She made sure that she put ear drops for Baloo every night. Baloo doesn’t eat and is very fussy when we are not in town, not only did he eat both meals with Tatiana, she even sent me a video of him bullying her into giving him more food! Thanks to Tatiana we were able to spend time with our family in India stress free! Highly highly recommended ♥️”

“Yumi was wonderful again 🥰 incredibly communicative with arrival times and updates through the day. She sends the best pictures and it helps me not miss them quite as much Annie and Tibbers always look comfortable hanging out with Yumi when she sends me updates so I have no doubt in my mind they're well taken care of 🥰 She's the only person we trust to watch them while we take trips 💖”

“Tianyu was great! She was extremely responsive during her stay with our older dog, Otis, and provided great updates and photos/videos. She kept our house and backyard extra clean. We will book with her again in the future!”

“This was my 3rd time having Amadita stay with Dexter. She’s always great! She sends updates and photos and I always come home to a clean house and a happy pup!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.

“Rendell is amazing. He is a great communicator and took stellar care of my pup on a very last minute booking. I will definitely track him down again the next time I need a sitter.”

“Grace did an amazing job caring for Kylo while we were away for a few hours. She sent pictures and kept us updated. We would definitely book her again!”

“As a first time rover user i was pretty hesitant to use the app, but Tiana has ensured that i use it more going forward. She is prompt, shares lots of pet pics while im away, and i think my cat ended up missing her when i got back”

“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have loved animals. I have always had at least one pet my entire life and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! During the beginning of covid, I started caring for other pets than my own and ever since, I have been pet sitting for friends and family. Looking back to my first pet care experiences, I got asked to care for my co-worker’s pets after knowing them for only a few weeks and I was, at first, a little surprised. Although in reflection, I am proud to say that I think my genuine love for animals can be sensed from the beginning. Caring for pets has never seemed difficult or like a job to me, so allow me to step in and make your life easier! I’m not in school for the time being so I am a bit more flexible but for now, a consistent routine or something for just a vacation would be more ideal as I try to figure out my summer schedule. I am always open for ideas or communicating though! I would love to hear the best way to care for your pet! I am used to animals that need medication or have special needs so I am able to suite your pets needs however they may need.

“Saturday was so accommodating and very communicative with frequent updates about how Mila was doing. I love how much experience with cats she has, and was happily able to give Mila oral medication. I will definitely be re-booking in the near future.”

About: I have pet sat for over 10 years, caring for all kinds of animals — dogs, cats, rats, and more. I've been a pet owner my whole life, so I deeply understand the bond between a pet and their family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages-old dogs who need medication and young dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime, so I am fully prepared to adapt to your pets needs. I'm active and love the outdoors, so your dog will always get plenty of walks, playtime, and fresh air. I am currently working part time and have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. I can be there whenever you need, morning or night, as well as throughout the day. I do not have any pets at home but I have a great backyard with plenty of quiet residential streets around me that are perfect for walking your pet!

“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”

About: I've been caring for pets since 2019. I previously owned two cats, who now live with my family after I relocated. Caring for them taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I've also cared for both cats and dogs for 5–6 friends while they were away, with my longest pet-sitting stay lasting over two months. I've cared for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and following any special care instructions. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to detail. Whether it's a cat or a dog, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and longer-term care. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule while keeping your pet's daily routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. Having cared for both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication, or extra attention for shy or senior pets, I'm happy to help. I'll also send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I'm comfortable caring for shy, senior, or high-energy pets, and I'll always let them interact at their own pace without forcing attention.

“Sophia took care of bobo for a day while we had a family outing, the comms were great -she was very sweet with taking care of him and was very attentive to our concerns for his routine. Sophia is going to be our regular sitter !”
