Dog Sitting Santa Clara

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked in a dog boarding/daycare environment, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, reading body language, and making sure every pet stays safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that’s high-energy playtime, slow and gentle walks, or just a calm environment with lots of attention. I’m especially mindful of pets who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I also have experience working as a dog bather and would be happy to provide baths during your pet’s stay. This includes a full bath, rinse, and dry to get your pup clean and fresh; however, I do not offer haircuts or grooming trims. I’m comfortable handling dogs during bath time, including those who may be a little nervous, and I always aim to keep the experience as calm and stress-free as possible. I treat every animal like they’re my own and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that means early visits, multiple check-ins, or last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet to make sure they get consistent, reliable care. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their home environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure doors, gates, and any entry points are securely closed at all times to keep pets safe. I pay close attention to routines and surroundings so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I’m mindful of each pet’s behavior and body language, and I take steps to prevent stressful or unsafe situations before they happen. Whether it’s managing interactions between pets, keeping a calm environment, or sticking to specific feeding and medication schedules, I make sure every detail is handled with care. I also respect my clients’ homes and privacy. I keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it, and I always communicate clearly and promptly so you feel confident and updated while you’re away.

“One of the absolute best pet sitters we've used to date! Dana will definitely be one i rebook for sure. She was so great with all my cats, even giving medication to one of our cats, which isn't an easy task! Above and beyond! Do not hesitate to book with her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for a few years now. From pet sitting to my family dog (blue heeler mix) I've grown quite used to energetic breeds, but I love all my furry friends! I'd love to help you out! I'm currently working part-time as a CNA while also being a full-time student. I'm looking for weekend visits or pet sitting on the weekends. I love to play with any kind of energy level whether rough and energetic, or mellow and sweet. Regardless of energy level, I love animals and would love to help take care of your pet!

“10000% would book again. Emilie was able to drop in on our pups last minute after our previous person cancelled literally an hour before. She sent the most adorable pictures and made me feel better that they were given love and care 💜”

“Allison did several drop-in visits for me and took such good care of my boy, Bo. He has severe anxiety, so I am very particular about who I choose to watch him. Not only does Allison have a lot of experience working with animals, but she has also dedicated time to taking additional trainings to prepare her even more, including training about helping dogs with anxiety. I appreciate that so much. Bo was comfortable around her right away. She is calm and patient and caring. She always communicated promptly and sent photos of her visits. Even though I can get stressed knowing he is anxious, I trust Allison and was glad to have her with him. I hope to have the chance for her and Bo to spend more time together!”

About: I grew up loving dogs and was always the go to dog sitter. My neighbors/family trusted me to feed, walk, watch, and play with their animals. I have also raised my own pup for the last 5 years and she is my best friend. I am currently volunteering at an animal shelter and work with the dogs on a weekly basis. I am currently a college student but have plenty of free time to care for your amazing pets. I make time for regular walks, feedings, play, and quiet companionship, and I adjust my day to match each dog’s energy level and needs. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, routine, and individual needs. I make sure your dogs feel safe, loved, and understood. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions closely, and I take the time to learn each dog’s personality.

“Aubree was awesome!! She had such good communication and kept us well informed while we were out of the country. Milo looked happy and well taken care of in all the pictures, and so it made me feel so at peace! We will definitely rebook with her again. 🙏🏻”

About: I’ve had many doggies in my family since I was five. Since I’m a paraplegic (going on five years now) and I have an ESA medium sized doodle, we would love a low-key playmate to share our adventures with—even if it’s just cuddling up on the couch, watching a movie. Being a paraplegic, I have access to my own door to the fenced in backyard from my bedroom. My parents are always home—which is where they also work—and would provide help with cuddles during our nightly movie fests. (Note: we prefer well trained, good natured, willing-to-be-low-key, but able to run at least two miles doggies. A love of Charlie Chaplin, like my dog, is optional) Daily, my Hairy and I go on walks—me on a three wheel scooter OR a three wheel bike, and never ever if it’s more than 100 degrees. If it’s 90-100 degrees, I thoroughly hose down my doggie and bring lots of water, and aim for a trail or park with lots of grass. If your dog is well mannered, I will let them loose and we can play with the ball.) My parents and I all work our individual jobs at home. I’m a writer in a wheelchair with my dog Hairy, who is in every respect like the hero we all have read about and adore. As I work on my computer, Hairy sits on his bed in the corner, waiting for another doggie boarder to play with! Yet, daily, your dog and mine would get at least two walks/bike rides/3 wheeled scooter rides so they get exposure to the world outside. (Some soaking down may be required for heat purposes.) Lots of treats, loves, cuddles, and relaxation provided with a varied fenced-in backyard are always at hand. Fenced yard, fountains, maybe 25 trees, no cats (bleah!), grass galore, and stairs to explore! Inside our environment is a working from home angelic nurse practitioner mom, a hard working engineer dad, and a writer (that’s me! Find my first book on Amazon called Prelude in N Minor as well as my other books!).

“Kenzie is great. She sits for us regularly and often takes our dogs on long walks. She sends pictures and keeps us updated on how the dogs are doing.”

About: I’ve lived with animals since I was born, constantly new animals being brought in an out from my family fostering animals as well as having our own. From a young age I would take animals on walk for my neighbors and care for them while out of town. Rover gives me that sense of childhood memories being able to take care of your fur babies. I am available for boarding on the weekends and even throughout the week! I do work a job but have another roomate in which when I am away at work for a few hours she is able to play and keep your fur baby entertained and help with any needs. I have no other animals, I have a grass park within a half mile of my apartment as well as a room to let them out for shorter potty breaks outside. There is no direct backyard but I promise to provide your fur baby the proper care as going out and taking them on walks!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors. The services I can provide are walking dogs, take care of dogs and Cats for you when you are busy. My availability is based around my schedule but luckily I have lots of freedom. Looking forward to hearing from you I am currently a student and also work part time, so my availability is based around my class schedule and work hours to ensure reliability :) I will create a safe and comfortable environment that is tailored to the individual needs of your fur babies, ensuring they feel loved and cared for.

About: I have taken care of animals since a very young age. I’ve had many dogs growing up, some were puppies that I had to train. I currently have a senior dog and a puppy that requires lots of attention. I have dog sat for many family friends where I had to follow a strict feeding, playing, walking, and potty schedule. I also volunteer at animal shelters every week. I am a full-time college student who’s looking for ways to pay my tuition. I have classes from Tuesday through Friday and I work as a CNA some days throughout the week. I can work with almost any schedule my clients need. I live in an apartment so I can’t board your pets. However, I am happy to follow a feeding schedule and what ever else you need at your home

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and understanding I’ve developed for dogs through years of hands-on experience. I’ve been caring for dogs since 8th grade, starting with my first Shih Tzu and later raising a Cockapoo, then opening my heart to two wonderful rescue dogs—a Foxhound/Cattle Dog mix and a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix. Caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make each dog feel safe, loved, and understood, whether they need gentle senior care, playful engagement, or consistent routines. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely look forward to. Each morning starts with a walk, followed by breakfast and some playtime like fetch to help burn energy and start the day happy. Later in the day, I take them out for another walk around the park for exercise and their second potty break, and we finish the evening with one last walk before bedtime. Nights always end with extra attention—belly rubs and goodnight kisses. I care for pets in my home by providing consistent routines, plenty of exercise, and attentive, gentle care. Each day includes regular walks, scheduled meals, and playtime to keep pets active and comfortable. I make sure they get multiple potty breaks throughout the day, along with quiet time in the evening so they can relax and settle in. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.

“We really loved have Sophia care for our dogs! She was willing to help us out on short notice and was very communicative. We received lots of pictures and updates! Our pups had a great time 🤗”

About: I've had several types of animals throughout my whole life so I have plenty of experience. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, etc. I feel comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My schedule is currently fairly flexible. It's easy for me to adjust my routine to care for and spend time with your pet throughout the day. I'll make sure that your pet is comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I'm happy to do drop in visits, walks, or house sitting. I'll follow the instruction given to me and keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: Hello! I’ve been dogsitting/housesitting for at least 3 years now if not more. I adore meeting new doggos and learning about all of their little quirks. I am very committed to making sure I stick to the rules you have and I find communication very valuable. Of course, above all else I love having a connection with your fur baby and being able to be there for them whenever you need. For the next month or two I’ll likely be available most of the day every day. Currently unemployed but looking into other jobs and I start my last year of school in August. Again I’m more than happy to meet with you and discuss schedule if you’re interested! In the couple times I have taken care of other’s pets I always make sure they’re safe. Whatever the pet parent’s standard is, I follow. It’s important to keep a pattern with our pets so they don’t feel too uncomfortable with their owner being gone. I also provide frequent updates if the pet parent prefers.

About: I have previous years of experience caring for many pets such as cats, dogs, birds and reptiles! I love animals and strive to make them feel as loved and as comfortable as I can. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I am currently a college student taking online classes. I am home with open availability majority of the time and am looking for part time pet care for daily expenses. I have a fenced grass backyard for pets to run around in. I am also in a nice neighborhood for short walks when it’s not too hot out. Most importantly my home is a safe area for pets to roam around.
