House Sitting in Rose Garden, San Jose, CA

“Elizabeth was a great find! She made me feel secure in leaving my dogs while I was out of the country for a week. She provided daily updates on how my dogs were doing with photos included. She took great care of Maddie who had an eye injury which required daily medicine and eye drops. I noticed she even left my house spotless when her week of in house dog sitting was complete. Thanks so much Elizabeth, you will definitely be the one I want to book with in the future :)”

“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 💖”

“Our 2nd booking with Tracey and just as perfect as our first. She is wonderful with our dogs and a great communicator. Additionally she cares for not only our dogs as if they are her own, but also our home. We are so thankful for her!”

“Danyel was so patient with our anxious and quirky 2yr old rescue pup who isn’t great with change. She was prompt, conscientious and kept us updated with photos and videos on our pup’s wellbeing throughout our trip. Danyel is clearly experienced with all sorts of dogs and knew how to let our pup warm up to her and give him a bit of space to adjust to us being gone and trust her as his new caretaker. After just 2 days, he was playing, cuddling, and quite relaxed! She even began teaching him new commands to help with play like “drop it”. It was so nice to come back to a clean home and not have to worry, as Danyel had cleaned everything she used. We would definitely recommend her for house sitting your pets, especially if they are anxious or nervous, as she’s incredibly observant and patient.”

“Songjingyun is an amazing pet sitter! She has already watched my puppy for two days, and my puppy is only 9 weeks old, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important to me. She provided exceptional care and attention, and my puppy was genuinely excited to see her the second time — which says a lot. She handled puppy biting thoughtfully, helped reinforce new commands, and was incredibly patient. She also kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She never minded the messes that come with caring for a young puppy, and at the end of each day she gave me a detailed update on everything — including activities, behavior, and even any small changes she noticed in my puppy’s health. As a first-time puppy parent, I was very nervous about using a dog sitter, but Songjingyun made this experience absolutely wonderful and stress-free. I would 100% trust her with my puppy again and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive. Thank you so much, Songjingyun!”

“Michelle has been an absolutely WONDERFUL in home sitter for us. She was attentive and detail oriented during the meet and greet and clearly has a good sense of how to handle various temperaments in animals. She sent us updates twice daily and included several pictures making us feel like our guy was getting very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone!”

“Jamie was fantastic. I am always nervous leaving my pup and she put me right at ease. She did a great job, I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”

“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.”

“I reached out to Mamoo last minute for a sudden trip out of town, and they were absolutely amazing! They dropped everything to help out on short notice and took wonderful care of my two dogs. I got regular updates and came home to happy pups and a clean house. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and attention to detail. I’d definitely book with them again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life but really started about 5 years ago. When I was young I would help neighbors, friends, and family with their pets and loved it. From daily walks and feeding to baths and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I am understanding that some pets may need extra patience or a lot of activity for a high-energy and playful pup. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m a graduate student with evening classes only, so I am free throughout the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I am able to take pets on long walks in various different areas depending on breed and energy levels for the pet to ensure they have a positive experience!

“Stacey is great and really takes the time to do what's best for your pets. Mine all have issues with each other and Stacey went above and beyond to make sure my two dogs and a cat were able to get along and also gave them lots of individual attention. I recommend her highly for any house sitting or pet sitting job that you might have.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and providing overnight care for several years, working with dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Great Dane mixes. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or fearful pups who need patience and reassurance. For the past several months, I’ve taken shelter dogs on field trips through County of Santa Clara Animal Services, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs in new environments, on hikes, and in stimulating settings. This has strengthened my leash handling, situational awareness, and ability to read canine body language. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I understand that seniors may need a slower pace and gentle care, while puppies require consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away :) As a student, I have a structured but flexible schedule which allows me to consistently fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits, and I plan my class schedule to allow time for reliable pet care commitments. Pet care fits naturally into my week—whether that means morning walks before class, midday drop-ins, or evening visits and overnights. I’m organized and intentional about managing my time, so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On weekends, I have even greater flexibility for longer visits, extended stays, or multiple drop-ins per day. I prioritize clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your pet is in consistent, attentive care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routes, house rules, and any specific behavioral needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, remain attentive on walks, and closely monitor pets during visits. I’m mindful of potential hazards and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it—clean, secure, and respected. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I treat both with the highest level of care and respect.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle for years! Friends, family, and neighbors call me when they need someone reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to hang out with their pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnights, or keeping up with detailed routines, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and emotional awareness I bring. As an empath, I don’t just “watch” pets, I learn their personalities. Are they high-energy zoomie champions? Velcro dogs? Secret snack negotiators? I adjust my care style to fit *them* so they stay happy and stress-free. I have experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and patience (potty training, leash manners, crate routines), as well as senior dogs who deserve a slower pace, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m also very comfortable with anxious or shy pets and use calm, positive approaches to build trust at their speed. My goal is simple: happy pets, lots of tail wags, and owners who can relax knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Plus, you’ll always get photo updates because I know being away is the hardest part :) Caring for pets is something I’m actively growing into full-time. I currently work part-time at 30 hours a week, but I’m in the process of expanding my independent pet care services and transitioning into working for myself. This shift means my availability will continue opening up over time, allowing me to spend even more quality time with the pets I care for. I’m intentionally building a schedule that prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and being fully present for your animals. My care style really comes down to one thing: keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine, just with me stepping in as their temporary human. In a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, play routines, and any “house rules” your pet knows (or thinks they can bend). I keep things clean, calm, and secure so your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. If pets are staying in my home, they get a cozy, supervised environment with lots of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their energy level. I make sure introductions, rest spaces, and routines are handled thoughtfully so everyone feels comfortable. I'll most likely end up snuggling your pet too! :)

“Margaret was wonderful! She took care of my house, cat, and dog perfectly and sent regular updates with pet photos. I’ll definitely hire her again!”

“I love having Sejla come and stay with my dog and two cats. I know that they are going to be well taken care of and loved and nurtured just as if I were home. She is amazing and I know when I go away I will be able to do so knowing with full confidence my fur babies are in great hands.”

Judi M.

“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter come and stay in our home. We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela and would definitely hire her again. She was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures of the animals. It made our get away so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Gabriela for all your pet sitting needs!”

Alisha V.

“Alyssa was great! She is extremely nice and it’s clear she loves spending time with dogs. She had great communication and I appreciated the updates. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and we’ll be rebooking her in the future! I highly recommend her :)”

“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”

Andrea H.

“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! 🥰🐾”
