House Sitting in North Valley, San Jose, CA

“Minna was fantastic! Great communication and arrived on time. We currently cannot leave our dog, Fred, home alone and Minna was able to help dogsit for a few hours while we attended a holiday party. Fred was a happy camper when we got home and she seemed to love Minna. Would definitely book again!”

“Jaynee took wonderful care of our dog, Powder, over the holidays. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease thanks to her constant communication and regular photo updates. It allowed us to truly enjoy our trip, knowing that both our dog and our home were in excellent hands. We returned to a happy pup and a well-cared-for home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jaynee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”

“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.”

“We had a great experience with Vivien, who stayed in our home for nine days to care for our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to confidently administer insulin to our diabetic cat, which was a huge relief. Vivien was responsible, respectful of our space, and gave all of our pets plenty of attention and care. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

About: I have been working with pets for about 5 years. Started in high school and now in my adult life. I also haves worked at a pet hotel for about 3 years where I was trained to handle all breeds and types of dogs and cats. Very flexible! I am a college student so any time I am not working on school I am free and available to look after your fur baby! I first and foremost respect all rules and boundaries of your home. Safety is the #1 priority when I’m handling any pet. I want pet parents to feel as comfortable as possible, I handle any fur baby how I would take care of my own.

About: My family and I have had 2 dogs and found it a joy to raise them, so I understand the love & dedication that goes into caring for your pets. I've also had the privilege to cat-sit my former roommate's cat during my 4 years of living with them! I look forward to meet both you and your furry friends and hope to take part in caring for them as well. I have been part of Wag! and Rover since 2017. Thank you for your trust! I've been recently laid off so I look forward to making pet care my priority with this new time! Your business will be greatly appreciated. I'm a student at SJSU during the weekdays. I will be UNavailable during these times starting January 22: Mondays & Wednesdays 2pm-6:30pm Tuesdays & Thursdays 11am-5pm I can provide care before or after these times. (-: Meet and greets are a great way to show me the ropes when it comes to your specific companion(s) as well as having them become familiar with me before taking care of them by myself. I like to make notes on each pet regarding their food portions, personality, behaviors and special needs if necessary.

“Stephanie is awesome, friendly and professional!! She arrived early and took great care of my pup. She is a solid choice. I will hire her again without reservation.”

“Cittlali was great with my dog. Betta is very shy and reserved but she opened up to her. They went out together and I am impressed that they became friends in just two days. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and it gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”

“Alexus was amazing with our dog. She kept us updated consistently and was always on time. She also stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Thank you so much.”

“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.”

About: I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I care for a 15-year-old senior dog and a 5-year-old dog, so I’m comfortable with both gentle senior care and active teething dinosaurs. I also administer daily medication to my senior dog, giving me experience with routine pet meds. In addition I regularly care for cats aswell! I currently feed my friend’s cat every time they’re on a business trip and also help manage the neighborhood cat colony. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every fur baby like my own. I work from home with a low-stress, flexible job, which means pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, so I can give pets plenty of attention, timely meals, walks, medication, and companionship. My schedule allows me to be dependable, consistent, and fully present with the pets I care for. I follow each pet’s normal routine, making sure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m attentive to each individual needs and keeping their space clean. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“We are so happy that Jie was available to take care of our pups again! She's absolutely great with them!! She keeps us updated with lots of photos and follows our instructions perfectly. We couldn't be happier with the care she provides and her clear communication. Thanks Jie :)”

About: I've always had a passion for animals of all kinds since I could learn to walk, and that passion is what drove me to surround myself with animals as much as possible. I have experience taking care of a wide variety of animals, from fish to small animals to dogs, and I make sure to fully do my research in order to cater to each animal's personality and comfort. I have previous experience volunteering at a wildlife center, fostering a feral cat and helping her adjust to human presence, and currently have a dog of my own who has been by my side for the past 13 years. These experiences helped me get familiar with the variety of anxieties an animal might have and how to decrease the level of stress they might receive from a stranger's presence. The comfort and happiness of your pet, or any animal in general, is my top priority. If the opportunity is provided, I'll make sure your pet is well taken care of! I'm currently in between jobs, and otherwise do freelance remotely, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! You just let me know how much time you want me to spend with your pet and I'll be there! Drop-ins: Food/water refills, clean bathroom as needed, hang out/walk with them as allowed/needed House sitting: Make sure that their needs are taken care of (including food/water, clean bathrooms, and playtimes/exercises) will most likely work on outside work during downtime. Walks: Will cater to how the owner usually enjoys walking their dogs (interaction limitation with other people/dogs, whether they can or cannot go into certain areas of the neighborhood, etc).

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’ve grown up surrounded by furry (and sometimes feathered) friends. I know how to provide loving, dependable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Your fur baby will be treated like family! As a student I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or just some extra playtime, I’m here to provide attentive and loving care whenever you need! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their routines. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I treat your home and your pet with respect and care as if they were my own.

About: My only experience that I have is my own cats that I’ve been taking care of for the past 4 years. Sometimes I would take care of a friends cat whenever she was out of town & she was a very cute kitten. I would say I do a great job seeing how much my own two cats genuinely love me but only because I give them that love these little guys deserve. My days off are usually only Monday & Tuesday. Im pretty open on making time for your pets of course I just have to be informed is all only because I care for being punctual and honest. So first thing I would need is a list of “Do’s and Don’ts”. So I know how you want me to take care of your animal in a respectful & trusting way. I don’t mind specifics, I don’t mind any rules, If anything I prefer it because I want to do the best that I possibly can for you & your pet. Please don’t be shy to tell me things I should know for the better care of YOUR PET. I would also do the same thing if I had a stranger take care of my pet if im being honest. Tell me what I need to know to take care of your pet in the best possible way that I can please & thank you.

About: I've had cats all my life, so I know how to deal with them. Had my pregnant cat give birth in my house and help raise all her babies. Helped rehome her kids. Also good with dog walking and playing. I can accommodate requirements well as I have a home business, so meal, play or poop times can be managed easily through the day. I play with them regularly to give them the best attention possible I have a specific area for cat Boarding and I can accommodate dog walking to the parents needs. Im good with cat/Dog play time and I have experience with my own cats and dogs friends
