Pet Sitting Santa Clara

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

“I had peace of mind knowing my cat was taken care of and well loved while we were gone. My cat has special feeding instructions and Erin did great following them. I looked forward to the updates and pictures she sent. I would definitely book her again.”

“Jennifer was available at fairly short notice, and cared well for our cat during drop-in visits, including a few extras like leaving lights on and closing the curtains, which felt very considerate.”

About: I have loved cats and dogs all my life, and have even made dog grooming my career. I have over 18 years of experience working with dogs, and caring for them outside of work. Pets are our best friends and family, and caring for them is a passion of mine. I am available seven days a week, typically, and work part time, currently. My availability is open in the later afternoons and evenings, with mornings available upon request. I have cared for my cat for over 13 years. I regularly care for my sister’s 2 dogs and cat when she is out of town. I care for my roommate’s cat and dog regularly and when she is away. Dog walking, pet feeding and loving- are regular activities for me.

“Karina did amazing with my kitty! She sent me so many cute pictures and left detailed notes of her visits. Karina truly went above and beyond and I would most definitely book her again!”

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 18. Ive worked at multiple doggy day cares and training. I dont have any pets myself so your animal will have my full attention. I also take care of cats. I grew up with a ton in my family home. Im currently unemployed, I have been aboard. Im taking my time to find a job that involves pets. So my attention will be fully on your pet. I can care for your pets in whatever way you possible require. I have all the free time in the world to make sure your pet is taken care of.

“Jaryd is the best pet sitter we have ever had. He’s compassionate and follows directions very well. We highly recommend him.”

Melanie J.

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

About: ​Hello, my name is Allison. What sets me apart from the average sitter is my experience with complex behavioral needs and high-energy working breeds. If your dog requires a confident handler who truly understands canine psychology, you’ve found the right match. ​My Specialized Experience Includes: ​Behavioral Needs: Proficient in managing food reactivity, dog reactivity, and resource guarding. Variable Energy levels: Extensive experience with high-energy Shepherds, Bully breeds, and working dogs. I've worked with happy go lucky retrievers, lazy couch potatoes and dogs who need a little extra motivation. ​Training Tools: Skilled in using various leads and training tools, backed by hands-on work alongside a professional trainer. ​Body Language: I read dog body language fluently, allowing me to advocate for your pup and prevent stressful situations before they happen. ​Proven Success: I own two dogs who had to be integrated from scratch. One arrived severely dog-reactive, but through structured rehabilitation and patience, he is now a peaceful, thriving member of society, and the two get along beautifully. ​Whether your dog needs a structured walk on a specific training tool or just a handler who stays calm when another dog walks by, I’ve got you covered. ​Let’s chat about your routine and how I can best support your dog 😁 Currently I wake up early, take care of my own pets, go to work, come home and care for them some more. Often I don't get much down time till a little later in the evening! Pets are my priority, because they didn't choose to be in my life, I chose to have them. And it's my responsibility to give them a vibrant, rich and full life. I am not afraid to utilize various techniques and tools needed to accomplish my tasks. If in a clients home, I can crate, or even engage in a little training to help the dog understand the expectations. Safety is always a priority and I will never contact your dog's body with my own unless it's for praise or positive attention. I will also only utilize tools that are approved by you! I know there are controversial ways to get things done. I will only operate within the confines of your comfortability.

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!
