“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of our dog! She is very conscientious, caring and provided regular status updates and pictures. We will definitely ask Jessica to pet sit again. A true testament to Jessica’s unique qualities is that our pet missed her afterwards.”
“Courtney watched our dog in our home. She gave us regular updates and took great care of our pup. Our house was clean and she took our garbage to the curb for garbage day. We would book her again!”

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!
“Maureen did a wonderful job of connecting with Speedy and taking care of him. Although he tends to be shy, he was affectionate and comfortable with her from the start. We loved hearing frequently from Maureen and seeing the daily pictures that she sent, which reassured us that Speedy was a happy kitty with her. She also took great care of our plants and home. Her warm and positive personality make her a joy to deal with. We will certainly want her to take care of Speedy during our future trips. Thank you, Maureen!!!”

About: ***Hi! I work Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. I’m generally available after 6:00 PM Monday–Friday and all day on weekends.*** ***Please feel free to reach out anytime — I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet!*** Hi! I’m a social worker with a passion for supporting people experiencing homelessness — and an equally big heart for animals. I love spending time with both dogs and cats. I have over 3 years of experience with dogs of all sizes — from playful Chihuahuas to gentle giants like English Mastiffs — plus a year with cats. Dog walks are one of my favorite parts of the day. I love giving pups plenty of time to sniff, explore, and move at their own pace. I’m also happy to play, cuddle, or simply keep your pet company while you’re away — whether that’s a high-energy fetch session or a quiet moment on the couch. I always tailor my care to your pet’s personality and needs. I work Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. I’m generally available after 6:00 PM Monday–Friday and all day on weekends. Please feel free to reach out anytime — I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet! I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, whether I’m taking a client’s dog for a walk or caring for a pet in their home.
“Angelene did a fantastic job caring for our cattle dog (blue heeler), for four days. She stayed overnight each evening and gave us periodic updates with photos of them playing together in our backyard. Our dog hit it off right away with Angelene and we could tell immediately that they were both very comfortable with each other. Anglene took exceptional care of our dog and our home. We would highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.

“Tracey was so amazing with my 2 cats, and took great care of my apartment while I was away! She sent me pictures and videos of my babies all the time, and was really good about updating me to let me know how they were doing. Am already planning to book her for my next vacation!”

“It was a relief to have Spencer house sit and take care of our three dogs. He is reliable and took great care of them into include one that needs meds and another that needs diaper change due to being a 16 year old dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of different breeds and types of dogs, including catahoula leopard dogs, golden retrievers, labs, yorkies, and hounds, over the past couple of years. The dogs I’ve taken care of range from the ages of 3 months to 13 years. I have also taken care of pups after being neutered, which required extra attention to incision site as well as giving daily medications. I’m currently working full time in San Jose, but am completely available weekends. I also am available early mornings and late evenings. I have in the past worked from home to stay with pups for multiple days in a row. The dogs I have cared for have always been in the client’s home, which have been both indoor and outdoor dogs. I ensure to stay on schedule for the dogs to ensure they are comfortable while their family is away.
About: I have had pets my entire life and can't imagine living without them! I have two senior dogs (18 and 15 years old). I am recently retired and looking for a way to fill my days with more love while making a little money and getting more exercise. I am available ANYTIME during the week to care for your pets. I may assist on weekends occasionally; however, I like to spend most weekends with my amazing husband (who still works). I will make you and your pet my priority and will give them 100% of my attention and love. I am available anytime Monday - Friday (early morning to early evening). I am abundantly cautious and caring. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have two very old dogs, so I understand caring for senior pets as well as the young whippersnappers with puppy-energy!

“Jamie was a caring, kind sitter and I felt totally confident after meeting her that she would take excellent care of my little dog. She was understanding and helpful while I was on vacation. A pleasure meeting and working with her on all arrangements!”

About: I’ve cared for large dogs for a year, and guinea pigs for five. I have cared for dogs and guinea pigs overnight, in my home, and the homes of others. I can keep up with your dog on walks and can manage them effectively and with little conflict. I know how important your dog is to you and I can and will ensure they will be safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I go to college from 7 am - 12 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 7 am - 2 pm & 3 pm - 7 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 7 am - 9 am & 11 am - 5 pm on Fridays. I also work 16-32 hours part-time per week, and have 2 male guinea pigs. While I am busy, I can and will fit in care for your pet on every single one of these days, without fail. Your pet is of the utmost importance to me. I can tell you of my complete schedule up to two weeks away and can make your dog's schedule fit into mine. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and space to care for an animal overnight in the house. The environments for overnight dog care are also climate controlled. I have areas to walk and play with your pet as well, such as parks within 3 minutes walking distance. While I do have guinea pigs, they are in a separate area and out of reach of any dog. I will walk, play with, feed, and even bathe your dog, both in my home and in yours. The only thing to take into account for care in your home is distance from my home, but I can easily adapt.
“Rebeca did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our reactive dog, Ginger. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about Ginger's well-being. Caring for a reactive dog requires extra understanding and compassion, and Rebeca handled everything beautifully. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and the sweetest stories about Ginger's day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also in great shape. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Rebeca gave to Ginger and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!”
