“Trisha was fabulous! We booked her for daily drop-ins with our 2 cats and she was always punctual, and always spent a full 30 minutes with them so they were fed and played with regularly. She really went the extra mile for us. One day she arrived to discover an ant infestation all over the dished (gross!!!) and she cleaned it all up and relocated the food to protect it from further ant incursions until our return. Our cats don't like strangers but they took to Trisha right away! You know you can count on Trisha. She's a very reliable, dependable person with her act together.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, but I especially love dogs and cats. I help care for my two grand pups, a golden retriever, and a German shepherd mix. You can often find me walking around Gilroy with one or the other. I also have 4 cats, all rescued from the wild! I volunteer with feeding multiple feral cat colonies in town also. You’d think I have no time to care for other pets, but I’m RETIRED! 😬 I love it! And I’d love to help you with your pets while you work or just need a break! I’d love to love them! 🥰 I’m retired so I’m very flexible. The only times I am not available are Wednesday mornings until about 11, and Sundays until after 1:00 pm. I offer to come to your home to provide whatever care is needed, from walks and yard play, to feedings and kitty snuggles. Just let me know what is needed!

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two cats, one indoor-only who received plenty of love and attention, and one outdoor-only feral who appreciated the daily food and water. The daily reports were great, detailed and included multiple pics. It made being away from home much less stressful knowing our fur babies were happy and safe. I'm 100% sure I'll be using Lucy again in the future!”
“Tracey and her husband were great at taking care of my kitties and keeping our home clean from litter while I was away. She was easy to communicate with, checked in each visit, and sent photos to make me feel comfortable that everyone was fine and happy. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Happy cat = happy mom. Eva sent videos of me happy cat in her own room. I thought I lost my wallet there (but I didn’t) yet she checked her yard and cameras for me. Very accommodating and flexible.”
“Lisa is a fantastic sitter. She gave me detail information about my pets and cared for them as her own. She will take lots and notes and will ask questions if she needs to. I highly recommend her.”

About: I've had pets my entire life and I currently have 3 bulldogs and a cat! I've cared for and managed 2 bully litters myself within the past few years, so I have plenty of experience with brachycephalic dogs specific needs. while I have the most experience with brachycephalic dogs I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I currently work from home and have fairly flexible hours! Therefore I have extra time in the mornings and early afternoons to spend with your dogs/cats! My availability is 6am-8am and 12-3 pm M-T and most weekends 6am-3pm. If you have an active or athletic dog, I am very active and can easily accommodate their needs. If they're less active/low energy and would rather snuggle on the couch I'm all for that as well! Regardless, I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed!
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life, and in my 20 years of being alive, I can't remember a time when I haven't given a dog unconditional love. I'm not very bright at times, but I would put my life on the line for any dog. I am currently a student at SJSU, and in my free time, I would love to care for your dog! I am available from 10:30 am to 4 pm on Thursdays and Fridays as of now for all your dog needs! I will care for your lovely pet on walks or in your home and follow any and all wishes and requirements. I will make sure to send plenty of pictures!
“Sandi is amazing! This is the second time she has taken care of our 2 cats. Her daily reports are hilarious and she adds so many pictures. One of our cats is super shy and hides when Sandi comes but we get pictures of the kibble so we know she is eating. She really cares about the pets and the parents. I would not hesitate to ask Sandi to care of our kitties any time for our peace of mind during trips, she is absolutely wonderful.”

“Merryn was wonderful with our kitty! He usually keeps his distance from pet sitters, but enjoyed lots of playtime and treats while Merryn was checking in on him. Her daily updates were very detailed, plus lots of pictures. Looking forward to having her back next time we’re out of town!”

“Courtney was fantastic with Eaton! He's a grumpy old man with Cushing's disease and she made sure he was fed, watered, and medicated. Most importantly she went above and beyond in taking him on interesting walks so that he didn't turn into a lump of boredom while we were gone!”
“Yes, Zee is the cat whisperer you are looking for. I went out of the country for five weeks, had never gone away that long and felt terribly guilty about leaving my cat home alone. Zee was amazing with Willow, developed a bond and gave her the attention and love she needed. Zee sent pictures and videos of Willow playing, being brushed and just spoiled rotten. My cat Willow thinks Zee is dreamy and may now prefer Zee to me!? Highly, highly recommended!!”

“I’ve had the chance to work with Blair, and I can say without a doubt she’d be great as a pet walker or sitter. With her background as a dog trainer and kennel attendant, she knows how to handle all kinds of dogs and understands their behavior really well. Whether it's taking them on a walk or just hanging out at home, she’s reliable and always makes sure pets are well taken care of. I trust her completely with my own pets, and I know she’ll do a great job looking after yours too!”
