House Sitting in San Martin

“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!”

“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”

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.”

“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!!!”

“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 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!

“Bri was exceptional! She really loved our pets like her own and sent us many updates throughout her stay! She made sure the house was well kept and the dogs loved her! We will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you so much bri!”

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!

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.

“Danielle did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my dog! I had her come and housesit for me since my dog definitely prefers to stay in her own space. Danielle's experience taking care of her own pets translated so well to taking care of my little one. She was able to follow very specific feeding instructions due to mine being such a picky eater. And Danielle was so communicative the entire time and was always sending me pictures and videos to let me know that my little one was doing great! I absolutely will be booking with Danielle again when I need to travel!”

“Rose was so wonderful with our Sheldon! He had a blast which was evident from all the pictures Rose sent to us throughout her stay. Rose stayed in our home and treated it like her own. We returned as if we had never left! She has a knack with dogs and it showed from the first moment she interacted with Sheldon. We would happily welcome her back again! Thanks Rose for taking such amazing care of our fur baby!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.

“We were completely at ease throughout Diane's time caring for our dogs and home. When we first connected, Diane was warm and responsive, and it was clear that she was someone who has a genuine love for animals. Diane did an incredible job caring for Annie, Charlie and Winston, WOW! She made sure the dogs were well exercised, happy, and had plenty of attention and affection. The most important thing Diane provided us was peace of mind. When we returned home, our home was calm and cared for, and we had three very happy pups! We would not hesitate to recommend Diane or to use her again for caring for our dogs or our home. She provides top-notch care, is reliable, thoughtful, and a person we would trust 100% to care for our home and pets. Thank you again Diane 💛”

About: I’ve been a pet parent myself for 10 years, caring for my own dog while looking after multiple cats. I’ve looked after friends and families animals so I am very comfortable stepping into new environments. I’ve gained hands on experience with pets that require medication (including pills, liquids, injections, etc). I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior animals who require a little extra patience. I love meeting each pet where they’re at. Whether it’s a gentle cuddle session or an energetic walk, i’ll match your pets energy making sure they feel loved and happy. I’m based in East San Jose and happy to travel a bit farther!! I currently am training for my upcoming hockey season! Monday-Thursday I’m available for morning visits before 1 PM (as early as 7 AM), and for afternoon/evening visits anytime after 3PM. On weekends, I’m fully open and can do multiple visits, walks, or overnight stays. I will be going back to college in Salt Lake, Utah at the beginning of August (August 4th) and plan on switching services to that location! I plan my week around confirmed bookings and make sure your pets care never overlaps with something else. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable. I always leave the home clean and like to send updates (whether it’s a text or a photo) after visits so you know how things are going. If anything comes up (a change in behavior, a mess, or something out of the ordinary), I’ll let you know immediately. I treat every pet and home like i’d want mine to be treated.

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.
