House Sitting San Jose

“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!”

“Michelle was incredible and so patient with my two dogs, one of which is a newly adopted 70 pound pitbull with anxiety issues. Not a lot of dog sitters would have her level of patience. She was also so accommodating to my unique situation and was a great communicator. Will definitely want her to dog sit next time I need someone!”

“Zola is fantastic! She kept us informed of how our little girls were while we were out of town. Definitely using her services again!😁”

“Tracey has cared for Maize several times now, and we continue to feel very comfortable leaving her in Tracey’s care. She was originally referred to us by the dog trainer we worked with, and we have found her to be extremely reliable, responsible, and thorough. Tracey has extensive professional experience with dogs, including working as a dog trainer, and that experience really shows in the way she cares for Maize. Maize is a sensitive rescue dog, and Tracey is very attentive to her behavior and cues and thoughtful about making her feel comfortable and secure. She has also shared helpful advice with us—for example, recommending a harness that would be better suited to Maize given how strong she can be on leash. Tracey follows our care instructions carefully, communicates well, and genuinely cares about Maize. She is also very conscientious with our home. It’s such a relief to be able to go away knowing that Maize is with someone so experienced and trustworthy. We highly recommend Tracey, especially for anyone looking for a responsible and knowledgeable sitter who really understands dogs.”

“Jacob was fantastic, very communicative, with high-resolution (!!) videos of my pup playing and constant updates. And he left the house impeccable. We will use Jacob for sure in the future, Vernena loved him!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs and even reptiles. I have a German shepherd with clinical anxiety and reactivity issues so I am very comfortable dealing with difficult dogs. I also have experience caring for senile cats who require regular medication. I currently work from home east coast hours so I am typically available after 2pm PST and can drop in anytime you need me in the afternoons or evenings, along with some weekend hours. I am happy to take care of and play with your furry friend and handle anything they need while you’re out! Who doesn’t love a play break?

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house at a time. Taking care of and walking dogs has always been a staple to my everyday routine and overall life. In the past 4 years my family and I have begun to foster dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities. They came in and out of our house often and each dog had different needs you had to accommodate for. The most difficult were puppies, who seemed to be either very shy or very energetic. While the dogs stayed at our house I would take on the task of feeding and walking them and overtime I got better and better. I love to work with dogs and I’m so excited to meet and help more dogs in new areas! I’m currently a full-time student at San Jose State University but I will always make time for you dogs! My best time for walking dogs is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and anytime Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While for home visits my best times are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my own home but at a client’s home I will make sure to respect any rules and focus on the dog’s needs above any other things. For myself, taking care of dogs at home has always been making sure they’re well fed, well walked, and have everything they need to have a good time.

“Eric was awesome! So easy communicate to communicate with, flexible to help with a delivery, and of course Nellie and the house seemed to be perfectly cared for. I’d definitely recommend Eric, in fact he’s already coming back next week!”

Is your cat playful or shy? Every detail helps me take the absolute best care of your best friend.

“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”

About: Hi I’m Aaron, I have cared for the pets of my family and friends since I was 16 years old and have volunteered at many rescues and shelters over the years. I currently volunteer at the humane society of silicon valley and a non-profit farm. I have extensive experience working with pets in clients’ homes and I have one year of experience working as in home care giver for individuals with special needs. I am comfortable working with breeds of all sizes and various levels of training and would love to get to know your pet! I hope that this job will provide me with the hands on and memorable experience I need to get into vet school :) I currently work as a special ed teacher working with adults with high needs, so I’ve got lots of energy and patience. I work from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, but I’m used to early mornings. I am can provide direct care for your pets from 5 am - 7:30 am and from 3:30 pm onwards. My apartment does not allow pets so working at your home would be best for me :) I have lots of experience caring for pets in the home. I have house sat for large and small breeds at various levels of training. The first thing I try to establish from the owners is a sense of the pets routine (what a day usually looks like for that pet), then when I meet said pet I try to bond with them through that routine. I also try to communicate with the owner about what sort of energy the pet responds best to. I know that some pets what a more playful and fun affect while others benefit from something more mellow.

About: I grew up surrounded by any kind of animals. My family and friends always trust me their babies because I have so much love to give them! I’m a college student during the week. My best times would be weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I am open to chat if you need me at other times. I love animals very much so their safety is always first to me. I will not only make sure the furry ones are safe, but I will also engage and play with them so they don’t feel alone.

“Alexus was so good with our cat Wally. She sent me pictures and updates, he was well loved and cared for! She left our home clean and left me no worries. Will definitely rebook!”

“Natalee was incredible with our Basil! We were extremely nervous about leaving her for the first time (for two weeks nonetheless!), but Natalee made sure that Basil had her space to get comfortable. She sent regular updates with photo and videos throughout her time with Basil as well. We could tell Basil was in great hands! We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: I am blessed to have been able to grow up with dogs. They are my world. From puppy care to senior care, I can promise you the best for your loved ones. I work part-time and would love to get the opportunity to take care of your loved ones. Due to the nature of my job, from weekdays to weekends my availability is very open. I am so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!! With years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and training, I understand that pets need proper love and care to thrive. I prioritize creating a safe environment that keeps your babies stress-free. I am very communicative and will adhere to their usual routines while taking lots of pictures so you are confident in my care for them!

“Melanie is an absolute godsend. I was looking for a last minute sitter to stay with my special tripawd who can be a little timid with new people. Melanie sent me pictures every day, and at the end even sent an entire album! Chia was so sad to see her leave—when I came home I saw that she left cartoons on for her. Melanie is so incredibly kind and I will never go with another sitter again! She’s like a second mom to Chia after only 2 visits. And that isn’t typical. I think she must be some sort of dog whisperer. If you want someone to treat your baby like you would—with as much care and love and joy as you give to your baby—book Melanie! She’s INCREDIBLE”

About: I love cuddling and playing with all dogs! Having the peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of while you're away or running errands is what I hope to accomplish for you. I've had a dog all my life growing up, so I understand the deep emotional attachment that comes with owning a pet. I guarantee the safety and wellbeing of your pet, and promise to provide the same care I bestow upon my own. I myself have a black Chihuahua named Anubis, who I have had since I was a little girl. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, and providing them a fun time when you are unable to. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. :) If you are curious about scheduling short visits during the week, please contact me to work something out. Based on what your needs are of me, I'll work around that schedule in depth with you to provide the best care. Everything will be meticulously planned to ensure the smoothest line of care. Safety and trust are my highest priority, that not only goes for your pet but also yours. There's no rush to befriending a pet, as they will best communicate to me the speed they need me to go to make a first meeting (and all meetings) a successful one. Whether that's spending as long as it takes to have them approach me and befriend me, or feeding treats until they think I'm made of it.

“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.
