Pet Sitting Rose Garden

About: I have cared for pets since childhood, bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Cats & Medication: Mom to 2 cats and known among friends as a "cat whisperer." Skilled in reading feline cues and administering medication gently and reliably. Dogs of All Sizes: Extensive experience raising and handling everything from energetic Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranians to strong breeds like Dobermans. Safety First: Dependable, attentive care with consistent photo updates so you always have peace of mind while away. I have a flexible full time job where I work occasionally in Santa Clara or from home in downtown San Jose. I have access to a car. I can provide regular updates via photo and text and make sure I have a clear understanding of how best to take care of your furry loved ones.

About: I grew up with English Setters and an American Bulldog, so big dogs with big personalities have always felt like home. I even helped with training our Bulldog, which taught me that consistency, patience, and understanding body language go a long way. Every dog is different, and that’s one of my favorite things about them. Some want to sprint around the neighborhood, some would rather stop and sniff every single blade of grass (and I’ll happily wait while they conduct their very important investigations). I enjoy figuring out what makes each dog feel comfortable, happy, and engaged. Whether your dog is high-energy, a gentle giant, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are. My goal is simple: make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. As a mechanical engineering student, my schedule varies a bit throughout the year. I keep my calendar updated to reflect exam weeks and semester schedule changes, including the transition at the end of August. I believe pets deserve unhurried, attentive care, so I only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. That means when I’m with your pet, they have my full attention, not just a spot squeezed into a busy schedule. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I’d expect someone to show mine. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, respect any household rules, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet has fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, Rush (93 lbs) and Chase (53 lbs), so I’m very experienced handling larger dogs as well as more sensitive ones. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I treat them all like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, a calm and steady pace, or just someone who understands their quirks, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very mindful of safety, leash control, and making sure your pup is comfortable at all times. You can expect clear communication, updates, and someone who genuinely cares about your pup’s well-being, not just getting the walk done. I work during the day but am consistently available in the evenings on weekdays and have flexible, open availability on weekends. I’m reliable with scheduling and do my best to accommodate requests with clear communication and timely updates. I prioritize safety, structure, and your pet’s comfort at all times. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including larger, stronger dogs. During walks, I focus on leash control, awareness of surroundings, and avoiding unsafe situations with other dogs or distractions. In your home, I respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels secure and stress-free. You’ll always receive updates and photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing.

About: Hello! I have spent my whole life living and caring for dogs. From newly rescued puppies to well-lived seniors dogs, high maintenance runners to backyard loungers, I have experience caring for all ages and types of dogs. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets!! I'm currently working part time, but I am available in the mornings, at lunchtime, and the evenings to tend to any needs. My time is also opening up to being very open at my internship ends in August. Caring for pets in clients homes is a very attentive experience for me. I love to spend time, walk, play, and care for your pet exactly as needed!

“Our puppy absolutely loves Kate!! She does a great job taking care of our little puppy, writes great notes, and takes very cute photos 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Junie always looks forward to seeing her!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me! I grew up in an animal loving home and on a homestead, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of routines, environments, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I’m a behavioral analyst by profession, which means I bring a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I also cared for my rescue pitbull for over six years, supporting his behavioral needs with consistency, understanding, and a lot of love. That experience deeply shaped how I connect with dogs, especially those who may need a little extra patience or structure to feel safe and comfortable! I’m happy to meet your dog exactly where they are. If they’re active, I’m all in for walks, runs, hikes, and playtime! If they prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy keeping things calm, cozy, and predictable. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy adapting to what helps each dog feel their best. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and getting lots of attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, which makes me especially reliable for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m a great fit for pets who thrive on routine and calm, predictable support. I work just two blocks from my home, so if your pet is staying with me, I’m able to be very present throughout the day. I always prioritize time before work, can come home during lunch to check in, and then we have the entire evening together for walks, play, or relaxing depending on their needs. On weekends, I’m fully available and love dedicating that time to longer walks, outings, or giving your pet extra attention and companionship. My schedule allows me to be consistent, attentive, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! 🐾 Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have space for a crate if your pet is crate-trained or benefits from having their own designated area. I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any specific preferences. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament and make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that means giving them space or more engagement. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I stay observant, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize safety at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. 🐾

“Bre’anna was an absolute pleasure and took wonderful care of our kitties. The check ins were thoughtful and if anything came up she made sure to put best effort into communicating with me and sorting it out. The cats loved her and even on international multi day travel I felt no worries. True animal lover!”

About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.

“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”

“Li is a terrific cat sitter! I felt confident having her cat sit after meeting her. She made friends with my cat Rosie right away, talking to her, playing with her, and understanding Rosie’s every need. I loved getting daily photos and videos of Rosie while I was away. I do think Rosie misses her now that I’m home!”

Laura R.

“Suz went above and beyond caring for Luna and Zozo. It was such a relief knowing they were safe and taken care of by someone who loves animals just as much as I do. She even was okay with a last minute plan change which is so deeply appreciate. Highly recommend!”

Keelin T.

“Mallory is fantastic! Reliable, attentive, thorough, and provided detailed updates and photos. She gave the gift of peace of mind, especially as my dog is elderly and gets a variety of medicines and ointments. I would absolutely book again.”

Kirsten S.

“Ziyue took really good care of my kittens while im away. Highly recommend booking with her!”

Scarlet Z.

“My cats warmed up to Jessica very quickly (quicker than any other cat sitter or house guest). She was able to get them to exercise/play and sent great pictures while we were away!”

Parth O.

“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”

Jackie J.

“I’m so grateful for Xi’s help in taking care of my cat Hoo Hoo while I was away for five days. She went above and beyond — giving him playtime, attention, and making sure he never felt lonely. I could tell from the photos that he really enjoyed her company! Thank you, Xi, for treating him like your own.”

About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.

“Wolfie had a great time! Thank you so much!”

“Katie is amazing, and we are so glad we found her! She has been doing drop-in visits with our dog Summer twice a week for a couple of months. Katie seems to genuinely care for Summer, and she recognizes how sweet and gentle Summer is (despite being dog reactive outside!). We love seeing the pics Katie shares from her visits, and we also appreciate how communicative and flexible she is with schedule changes. We are so thankful we have someone we can trust to take great care of our pup!”
