Pet Sitting in Santa Clara

“Suzanne did drop in visits for our kitty while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive during the meet and greet and clearly connected with our cat during the first introduction. Our cat was immediately at ease and comfortable with her. During the drop-ins, she showed up at the time scheduled, followed our feeding and litter box instructions to a T and sent cute photos and left great notes in the app. She also brought in a package for us, which we appreciate so much! She spent the full time that we scheduled with our cat, which we appreciated immensely. Also, this was my first time using Rover, and Suzanne really helped me through the process even when I didn’t know how to schedule multiple days and then didn’t realize I had to confirm the booking. Suzanne was patient and coached me through it. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is reliable, personable, clearly has a way with animals and is so good with cats!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive caregiver with hands-on rescue experience at Coastal Pet Rescue and Bay Area Cats. I’ve cared for animals who need extra patience, including fostering a Chihuahua mix undergoing heartworm treatment, where I closely followed medical instructions and provided consistent, compassionate care. I’ve been offering pet care services since I was a student and love building trust with both pets and their owners. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, giving me flexibility for daytime visits and attentive care. I’m also available on weekends and happy to accommodate different schedules. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to maintain their routine and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my senior dog, who needs medication twice a day. Soyoung always shared photos and provided regular updates on Toto’s condition, which gave me great peace of mind. I would love to book with her again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like an individual, not just a booking. I’m patient and attentive, with experience caring for puppies (basic commands, potty routines, and leash manners) and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I pay close attention to body language and routines so dogs feel safe and understood. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I focus on calm, reliable care and clear communication with owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check ins so dogs get consistent attention and care. I’m used to managing routines like morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and quiet time, and I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs. Because animals are already a regular part of my life, caring for pets doesn’t feel rushed it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, use positive reinforcement only, and make sure pets feel comfortable and respected. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Yijing took great care of my cat! While I was away, my cat accidentally knocked over a mirror, and I was worried there might be broken glass. She responded to my message very quickly and went to my place shortly after to handle the situation. Everything was taken care of smoothly and safely. My cat also got along really well with her — I’ll definitely choose her again next time!”

“Rita is fantastic! I desperately needed a sitter and despite only giving her a 4 days heads up, she accepted the request without hesitation. I greatly appreciated the updates and many photos and videos. It helped reassure me that my girls were in good care while away. I would definitely book again. 🩷🐾”

“Max was quickly responsive - showed up for our meet ‘n’ greet early and Boots was immediately at ease with him. Max‘ natural comfort around dogs was evident - Boots found a new friend! He updated with photos and walk maps, and I could tell Boots got a little fun time while I was away! Thanks again Max for the help!”

“Jie was amazing and really exceeded my expectations. I had her pop by for a few hours to spend time with my 11 year old and 1 year old French Bulldogs. She walked both dogs twice, encouraged play time, and fed them. She sent photos and updates and even cleaned the dogs bowls after the dogs ate. She is exceptional!!”

About: I enjoy caring for dogs of all stages and taking them on fun and safe nature walks. I have experience with puppies, teaching commands, and tending to older dogs with medical needs such as special diets, medication feeding. I currently work part time and enjoy being around nature and animals so this is very enjoyable for me to do as a second part time job. I like spending additional time with other dogs and cats. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can fit in time for your loved pets. I'm very detail oriented and will follow pet parent's instructions as how to care for your pet. If there are things you prefer and or rather avoid I will ensure to follow directions.

“Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!”

“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”

“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.”

I know how to check if the pavement is too hot for your furry friends to walk on. I carry water, a small bowl, and doggie bags with me. Additionally, with my dogs over the years, I have learned to be hyper-aware of my surroundings so your dogs are safe from cars, bicyclists, and other four-legged pals.

I make sure water and food are accessible and regularly take pets for walks and potty trips.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know every pup has their own personality – whether they're a playful ball of energy or a cozy couch companion. I'll care for your dog like they're my own, with all the belly rubs, fun walks, and patient attention they deserve.

Since I work from home Monday and Friday, I'm available throughout the day for walks and playtime. Weekends are completely open for pet care too.
