“Dropped off Flower for a short visit today before I board him with Andrew. I had previously met with Andrew so that Flower could meet him and Flower was very happy to see him. When I picked up my little dog, he seemed very content and peaceful sitting in his little bed. It made me very happy to see that my dog was happy and apparently had a good visit! I feel great about leaving flower with Andrew for the upcoming weekend after this wonderful experience.”


About: I love animals and I've taken care of family, friends, and neighbour's pets since I was 10! I have experience with lots of animals but especially with puppies and very large dogs (my own dog is 150 lbs!!) I’m taking a few Cuesta classes online so I can bring my laptop and do them anywhere! I can do boarding all weekends and I can do home-sitting anytime and come check in 3-4 times a day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep yours company! I love to walk my dogs and always make sure they get enough play time everyday!

“Katie was an absolute lifesaver taking care of my dog while I was attending an event. My dog settled in immediately and seemed excited from the point she walked through the door, and almost didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. Katie was responsive and sent me pictures through the night and it was all around amazing!”


“Kara was outstanding and accepted my last minute request for day care. My pup seemed to really enjoy her time there! She must have been playing all day because she was completely wiped when we got home, that’s how I know she had a good time though!”

“Mr. Mack had a great time with Lauren and family. He feels right at home in their home. He had play time, cuddle time, walk time and lunch time -- all bases covered! We will find future dates to request daycare again because we are 100% confident Mr. Mack is well loved and adored in their care.”

“Joan was great and very patient with Leilani, who is nervous around new people and other pets. We appreciated her care and understanding in assisting Leilani to feel comfortable in a new environment. Would highly recommend Joan to others.”

“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”

“Sandra is the ideal pet sitter! She’s friendly, easygoing, and experienced. I could tell right away that Maple felt comfortable with her, which was very reassuring. We got several pictures, and communication was excellent. Lucky for us that Sandra was available to take care of Maple on short notice. We would book her services again in a heartbeat!”

“We relocate often for work and it's always stressful trying to establish reliable and trustworthy pet care in a new community. I was immediately comfortable with Allie and Wallace walked away with her without hesitation. When I picked him up, his tail was wagging, he seemed calm and content. I've already re-booked!”

“Monique was awesome, super nice home in gated community, next to a park, constant communication, with pics sent. Highly recommend and would definitely take my Ben to her again! Thank you Monique :-)”

About: hi there!! my love for animals is unmatched and i hope to share some love to as many animals as i can! i just retired as a d1 college gymnast and i graduate from san jose state university in the fall of 2026, so i have much more time on my hands now that i am done with gymnastics. i’ve grown up with only cats, but i have helped with dog sitting for family members and my friends many times! The most important thing to me is communication and you can trust me when I say that if I am confused or have a question or need any clarification, I will ask. Keeping your pets the safest and most comfortable as possible is #1 . I look forward to hopefully meeting your pet and creating a fun and strong bond with them! thanks so much I’m in the gymnastics team at SJSU and we just finished season so our schedule is quiet clear then it used to be! Weekends are better for overnight care, and I can wake up however early and stay up however late that is needed for the owner! Right now, anytime after 5:30 during the week is best. I care for pets by showing them attention, feeding them and giving them the everyday needs, playing with them outside, teaching more tricks, and loving them as if they’re my own!
About: Loving Care in a Spacious Home — Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place! 🐾 Hi there! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of love and attention throughout the day.

Plus, we’re just a short walk from the local dog park for extra social fun and exercise. Whether your dog loves cuddles, long walks, or lounging in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. You can count on a calm, safe, and happy environment — where every tail wag is welcomed and every pup is family. ❤️ I work from home so I will give them constant attention and supervision throughout the day and the kids will make sure they get their energy out at night! I have a large yard to run around and play! No pets in the home for a more intimate experience and 4 happy kids to entertain them!
About: I have a 3 year old Bernese Mountain dog that I have raised from a puppy. Ready to share my love and care with more dogs and pups when their parents need a hand! I’m working from home right now, and I am looking forward to helping your pup during the workday, or when there are trips that your pup can’t come on! I will take good care of your pup’s needs, and look out for safety in your home and out and about! Please let me know of any special needs
“Rachel replied immediately. She was welcoming. We had a meet & greet with her and Gus, and Levi and I were very impressed :) Her dog Gus is just a cutie pie and loves to play, so he kept my little guy very busy. Levi came home happy and tired! Yes! I hope we can plan another petsitting date soon. Thank you for everything Rachel. I loved the photos you sent me - especially the one with your little girl and Levi.”


“Tami took my pup's anxiety in stride and she clearly won him over quickly. He was snuggling up to her and clearly had a great day. Thanks for taking care of our puppy for the day so we could take a tour of Hearst Castle!”

Since I work from home I am able to spend the majority of my day with pets as my schedule usually allows me to have a lot of flexibility.

Paige is amazing! She came through last minute when my other sitter had to cancel for a family emergency. She was extremely communicative and kept me updated on my dog’s status with photos and videos. She learned I was allergic to cats and vacuumed my dog’s bed before we picked him back up and even lint rolled him for me! LOL. She’s a gem!

Kimberley was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our pup! We felt so comfortable leaving Hazel with her for the afternoon. She had a little set up for Hazel as soon as we arrived and took her to the park. We would trust her to care for Hazel anytime!
