12. Jessica K.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a kid. Just cats since being an adult. But I have been dog sitting to fill the void of not having the time or space to own a dog. I work an 8-5, but work remotely 2 - 3 days a week. My job is also very flexible. So, if I need to step away, I can. I will not be offering services in my own home, as my cat believes she runs it is only allowing us to exist in it because we feed her and give her chin rubs. The care I provide for your pet will depend on the care your pet wants. Is it an independent pet that just needs to be fed and wants to be left alone? Does your pet want to given pets and cuddles all day long? Let me know what your pets needs are, and I’m sure I can handle it.
13. Dacyl A.
“If you’re looking for the perfect dog sitter, I can’t recommend Dacyl highly enough! I trust her with my dogs implicitly—they love her so much, they think of her as their "other dog mom." She’s exceptional with animals, truly caring and attentive, and she tailors every walk and play session to each dog's unique needs and energy level. With a lovely, dog-friendly house and yard, Dacyl offers a safe, happy environment where your dog can relax and play. She has endless patience for playtime, pets, and attention, and her genuine love for all dogs is why they can’t help but love her back. If you want your dog cared for like family, Dacyl is the sitter you need!”
14. Kay G.
“Kay is so wonderful and easy to work with! She’s walked Dakota multiple times and always been super communicative and reliable”
15. Amiri T.
“We've been hiring Amiri for years to walk our 90lb bulldog. Our dog has some territorial issues and he worked with us to train him, and now we hire Amiri every time we travel. He's always responsive and on time. Highly recommend!”
16. Megan H.
“Lovely to interact with, and very kind to my old dog! Followed all instructions, no notes, great job done all around. Highly recommend.”
17. Hannia L.
“I worked with Hannia when she participated in our youth employment program at Lao Family Community Development, Inc. During her time with us, she successfully completed 100 hours of paid internship. She was placed at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, where she demonstrated great responsibility and initiative. Her duties included organizing and managing interactive activities for children who attended weekly programs at the park. She also took on the responsibility of preparing, loading, and unloading decorations and food for events, and maintained the cleanliness of the park. She cleaned out the trash and other clean up duties. Hannia has an excellent work ethic; she is currently enrolled at San Jose State University and is eager to gain more experience. Her sweet and kind demeanor, along with her ability to connect well with children and her love for animals. She even has a dog of her ow, make her an ideal candidate for pet caregiver.”
18. Vidya V.
“I have known Vidya for almost 20 years and she's one of the kindest, most compassionate animal lovers I know. Dogs and cats are always welcome in her home, she makes it a point to help any animal in need. My own dog, who is 14 now, has spent a good part of his pampered life under her care. She knows how to connect with dogs and cats, she can anticipate their needs and ensure that they are safe and happy under her care. I would blindly entrust any pet with her, knowing that the animal would be completely safe with her.”
