“Kimberly was amazing! She kept me in the loop everyday and sent me photos showing how Aspen (dog) was doing. Aspen left very happy and even looked like she was going to miss Kimberly and her family. I will definitely do business again. Thank you Kimberly! ?”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“My dog had a perfect stay with Sepia. He was treated like a family member and really pampered. I got daily updates with photos and videos which was really helpful since we were leaving our baby for a long time almost 12 days for the first time. I highly recommend Sepia.”
“Very happy. We went out of town for a week and my dog had never gone with a stranger before so I was worried. But after meeting with Lyudmila and her nice children ahead of time I felt comfortable and my dog liked them all right away. They gave him lots of walks and attention and we will definitely use her in the future!”
“Son and her family took great care of my 14 yr old dog Willow! I was able to relax during Thanksgiving knowing Willow was surrounded with company and cozy home. She came back much happier and relaxed compared to my last Rover experience with a different sitter. Willow didn’t want to leave when I picked her up, that’s how much she enjoyed her stay with Son.”
“Brian and his family has been great host to my pet. They took good care of him and kept me in loop on his daily progress. They managed his food diet and medication as requested. I highly recommend them and will use them in future too. A++”
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When your pet stays with me, they receive the exact same level of deep compassion, endless cuddles, and focused attention that I give to my own. I am experienced with dogs, birds, and rabbits. I share my home with a wonderfully chatty, smaller-sized Siberian Husky named Fuschia. She loves to "talk," but she is trained, incredibly friendly, gentle, and absolutely adores playing with new furry friends. Other than being a chatty Cathy, Fuschia is the anti-husky- preferring to sleep and chill than having high energy. Whether your dog wants a playmate or just a buddy to lounge near, my husky is an excellent, welcoming host. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be alone and will receive frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, and all the affection they can handle. ------------------------------ 🩺 Experience & Special Skills I'm a lifelong pet lover who has owned or taken care of pets since childhood. I've owned tiny dogs (chihuhuas and terrier mixes), a large wild dog that needed extensive training (a wolf-husky hybrid), birds, a rabbit, and have helped friends take care of their exotic animals (snakes and lizards). I’ve been dog sitting for approximately ten (10) years. I have enjoyed sitting small dogs to giant doodles (who believe they are small lap dogs) as well as elderly and special needs dogs. I’m a true animal lover and offer comprehensive care tailored to your pet's specific life stage and health requirements: * From Puppies to Seniors: I understand the patience and frequent training breaks required for tiny puppies, as well as the gentle pacing, orthopedic comfort, and slow walks needed for elderly dogs. * Medical & Sick Dog Care: If your dog requires special medical attention, you can rest easy. I am highly experienced in administering oral and topical medications, managing strict dosing schedules, feeding according to strict dietary needs, and providing a calm, stress-free environment for dogs. * Small Animal Expertise (Birds & Rabbits): I don’t just care for dogs! As a prior bird and rabbit owner, I am fully experienced in handling, feeding, cage or pen cleaning, and understanding the unique requirements of rabbits and birds. ------------------------------ 🏡 My Home & Safety Setup Your pet’s safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. * Dog Play Areas: Dogs have plenty of room to stretch their legs, curl up on a couch, and run around and play inside the house and in my secure fenced in yard. When they play with my husky they will be always be supervised. *Sleeping: When it’s time to sleep your dog will sleep in a crate inside the house to ensure they are safe and secure while they are resting. * Sanitation & Routines: I’ll adhere to your feeding schedules. I’ll take your dog for a walk and can bathe them if requested. ** Separate, Stress-Free Zone for small animal friends: To ensure a calm and secure environment, all guest birds and rabbits are kept in a completely separate room away from any dogs in the house. They will enjoy a quiet, predator-free space where they can feel safe and be nurtured. During the week, I work from home and have a flexible shift that ends in the early afternoons. On weekends, I'm home, and your fur baby will get plenty of walks and playtime. I live in a gated community in Morgan Hill and have a securely fenced yard for your dog to run and play. I keep the dogs in the house when I'm working, and there are plenty of couches for the dogs to curl up on and nap. At night, the dogs sleep in a crate inside the house. I'd prefer to use your crate to make your dog feel more at home, but I have a small and large crate available for dogs that don't have one. Small Animals (birds and rabbits) are kept in a separate room the entire stay. They will not have any interaction with any dog in the house.
“Juliana is a terrific dog sitter. We had our two fully-grown Labrador Retrievers stay with her for more than two weeks when we went on vacation, and I think our babies really miss her, her dog Cannoli, her house and the other dogs she was dog-sitting at the time. While we were away, Juliana sent us pictures everyday to show us what she's been doing with them. These picture made our short-term separation from our babies easier to deal with. We are very grateful for Julian taking such great care of our Labs, and we'll definitely have her dog-sit our babies again. We highly recommend Juliana.”
“Stasha & her boyfriend were wonderful! It was our first time boarding our pup and I was very nervous. She kept us updated throughout the day, and communication was great. She would send pictures as well! We will definitely book with her again.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Jen was awesome with my dog Jack, she took great care of him and she sent pictures and videos everyday and walked him regularly. Will definitely recommend her for anyone who need a dog sitter.”
“Ginger had a great time staying at Lyan’s place! She was comfortable and welcomed in their home. They even allowed her on their bed. And the best part of all is that Lyan’s dog Dexter is super sweet and friendly. The host took good care of Ginger and kept in mind her needs such as feeding schedule and wearing cone instructions. She sent lots of pictures too which we love. We will definitely contact them in the future for pet sitting!”
“Anusha is the best dog sitter around. I don’t think I’ll ever book vacations again without checking her availability first. She provides photos and videos daily updating us on their adventures together. She is very knowledgeable and treats our dog like a member of her very own family.”
“Dexter had a great time at Jade’s house! Jade and her family took care of him so well and gave him lots of love. She took him hiking as well as on a walk to see Christmas lights and she sent me lots of videos and pictures. We could enjoy our vacation without worrying about him at all. I also liked that she responded to all my text fast. Thanks Jade! Dex is already waiting for the next vacation 😊”
“I was so pleased with the care provided for Harley by Michelle. She kept me updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind that Harley was enjoying himself and very happy at Michelle’s home. I look forward to using her services again soon. Sharon S.”
“Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”

“Dee did an amazing job looking after Grumps while I was away. Her communication was great and consistently sent me pictures to ensure he was fed, groomed, and well taken care of. I think Grumps already misses Dee.”
“Susan was fantastic with Lucky! She provided great care during her drop-in visit, and even offered a pre-appointment visit to know where things are. Lucky was well-cared for, and happy. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We tried Julie for the 1st time recently. She did a wonderful job. We knew both the cats and the house were in good hands. Communication was excellent. We would definitely have her do future visits!”
“Sandi was great as usual, going over and beyond. I have extremely shy cats- she knows how to give them their space. She is awesome with communication. Sandi is the best if you needed peace of mind when you have to leave your fur babies for a few days.”
“My kitties warmed right up to her, and stayed happy, ate well while I was gone four days so I could enjoy Thanksgiving without worrying. She takes good photos too.”
“Madeline was fantastic in taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She is so friendly, communicates well, and really cares about the pets she works with. She handled daily medication for my cat, too, which is such a lifesaver. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and a good pup brings me joy. I have 1 dogs of my own that I love to take on long walks, hiking, and to the beach. I would love to share those experiences with your loved ones aka dogs!! I know we live in busy world and sometimes we need just a little help keeping the pups happy, please let me help so you don't have feel guilty for not taking your buddy out. A few things your dogs will experience while in my care are attention, love, affection, and of course some treats if you will allow. I am a very out going person and your pups will be in good hands. I am here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets to take on walks and more. I am available on weekends and weekdays. All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks
About: I own three cats, and they’ve taught me a lot about responsibility and patience. Being involved in their daily care has given me experience with feeding, grooming, recognizing changes in their behavior, and keeping them healthy and comfortable. I’ve also given oral medications and applied topical creams when they’ve needed treatment.
About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for cats so far. I love spending time with them I know every cat has their own personality so i am patient and will let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I will be feeding them with fresh water, changing & cleaning their litter box, some play time giving them love and attention. Can’t forget i’ll make your cat feel safe comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Courtney was fantastic with Eaton! He's a grumpy old man with Cushing's disease and she made sure he was fed, watered, and medicated. Most importantly she went above and beyond in taking him on interesting walks so that he didn't turn into a lump of boredom while we were gone!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom ever since I was a little girl. In 3rd grade, I was even known as the dog lover of my class. I have experience with a few different types of dogs such as Chihuahuas, Rottweilers, Poodles, etc. I currently work from home running my online web design studio so it's nice to be able to step away from the computer often to reset and what better way than to spend time with my favorites, dogs! I also work a part time retail job 4 days a week so I'm able to book walks on my days off of that job :) I'm a proud dog mom to 3 Maltipoos, Andy, Astro, and Pablo. If your dog is okay with other dogs, there's a possibility Andy and/or Astro will join! Please note I'm 5'0, I'm totally open to large/giant dogs, but preferably if they're good on leash (no leash reactivity, pulling, etc.), thanks so much for understanding! Rest assured your baby is in good hands! I'm a web designer so I need to be able to step away from my screen every so often for a break so going out for a walk is perfect for that! Since it's summer, it's preferred when the pavement isn't so hot. I have 3 dogs, two 8 year olds and one 15 year old. Our 8 year olds go on walks twice a day, once as soon we wake up, and again an hour after dinner. Our 15 year old is only allowed one short walk per day due to joint pain.
About: My attention to detail and compassionate care cant be beat! Whether it's specific meal times, medications, a preference of long walks or short, playtime, lots of pets and belly rubs or a bit more space, Ill be attuned to every different personality and their needs! Their safety and comfort is always my top priority. Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I take pride in how I show up and care for my patients and your sweet furry babies deserve nothing less and will always get the very best care with me😊 My schedule is open and pretty flexible for the remainder of the year. Spending my time caring for your pet will add so much more joy to my days and I'm confident that it will do the same for them! While I can't offer pet sitting in my own home, I'm happy to do so in yours. This also allows your fur babies to stay as comfy and cozy as possible in the environment they feel the most safe in while you're away😊
“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!!!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was able to walk. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring their daily routine is strictly followed so you can enjoy total piece of mind while you are away. I’m currently on break from a job assignment that finished, and when I’m not working, I dedicate my time to dog boarding, dog walking, and volunteering at the shelter just to spend time with animals. Due to my current routine, it allows me to have open availability and flexibility with pet care. I have a fenced yard with lots of space for your fur baby to potty and play in, as well as two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily crate or separate your dog if personal space is needed!

“Our Cooper came home so happy from his day with Marialorena and her family!! She was very responsive to our texts and she sent pics and videos along with a few updates throughout the day! It was obvious that he was well cared for and I would strongly recommend her and will book with her again in the future!!”
“It was such a delight for my chihuahua mix Maui to stay with Dipanjana and her husband and her cute dog Kulfi for the first time! Dipanjana was very proactive and thoughtful in preparing us for our first day care visit, letting Maui get familiarized with her dog and home, ahead of our daycare appointment, which I appreciated immensely since my dog has separation anxiety. She is relaxed and easy with communication and with Maui to make him feel at home like letting him sniff around, play with toys, or sit on her lap. She was also very on top of it with any instructions I had for his stay. Her home and neighborhood are also very clean and comfortable. It was so great to see Maui in pic updates and in good spirits when I picked him up and I look forward to another stay in the future soon!”
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own! I have had dogs my entire life. I understand animals and their needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom. So I am very flexible with fitting in pet care into my day! If you need last minute extra help, I am available! I will follow any instructions for the pet and eager to start! I respect any request and willing to provide support wherever I am needed!
“Mimi is so amazing!!!. She is the first doggy sitter I have had through rover, and I have to say that I am more than pleased with her. She is so sweet and good with dogs, my girl loves her! I also mentioned to Mimi that my little girl has separation anxiety and she still took her on and has been willing to help me work on it with her. She sends me updates throughout the day (including pictures, which I love receiving at work). If you need someone trustworthy to care for your fur baby, give her a try. You will not be disappointed.”
About: I've cared for dogs for years and currently provide dog sitting and walking for local families outside of Rover. As someone who is very family-oriented, I treat every dog like they're part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I'm happy to follow each pet's unique routine and care needs. My home has a spacious, fenced backyard with grass where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time, and I'm committed to giving every pet the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I love starting my day with walking your family pet. Always bring joy to your pet and me. Start your day on a positive note. I'm in tune with your pets needs. Its like babysitting my Grandkids. They have all my attention. My house is clean and safe. I have a beautiful fenced in yard. My yard has natural well maintained grass. My yard has plenty of shade in the afternoon . Love playing and quality time with your family pet. I live next two lovely parks in my neighborhood.
“Stasha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Elora and Jasper. We had a big party to host, and knowing they were in her care gave us so much peace of mind. It honestly allowed us to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the pups. From the start, Stasha was warm, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day, which meant so much and made it clear our pups were happy and in great hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with so much care and attention. Elora and Jasper came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. We felt completely safe trusting Stasha with them, and that kind of trust is huge. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly invested in caring for your dogs, I cannot recommend Stasha enough. She made it possible for us to host our party without a single worry, and that was priceless. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat. 🐾”
“Jen is the sweetest person and has a beautiful and loving home! Vino loved being at their house and playing with Jen and her family! Vino enjoyed their daily walks and playing ball. Throughout the day Jen would send me photos and videos. Vino can’t wait to go back!”
“Sepia took such good care of Mango. She is very attentive and gives him the attention that he wants being a clingy baby that he is. She sent us regular updates and is very mindful of Mango’s restricted diet due to his sensitivity tummy. Thank you Sepia!”
“I had a wonderful experience booking Dante’s first ever doggie day care with Lori and Ken. Because of my schedule I didn’t get a chance to do a meet and greet but I went with my gut feeling and I wasn’t wrong!! They have a great energy and a vibe that eased my nervous about leaving my HIGH energy golden retriever for the first time. There was plenty of room in and out of the home for him to get that energy out of his system. Will definitely be booking again :)”
“Jennifer and her family are great! Bennett loves playing their dogs and cuddling on the couch with everyone. Jennifer makes the whole process so easy and is great at communicating needs, updates, and photos. I will absolutely continue taking Bennett to Jennifer for daycare or boarding and would recommend her if you’re looking for somewhere safe and comfortable for your dog to stay.”
“Michelle was able to accommodate my last minute request and was responsive. My puppy had a great time with her and she was communicative and made me feel comfortable. I will be booking with her again.”
About: I'm energetic. I love animals and love taking care of them. I am very reliable and always make sure the animal is well taken care of. I had a dog of my own for 17 years and as he got older he needed lots of care. Medication daily, needed an inhaler once a day, and insulin injections. I’m a weightlifter (strong) so working with big, strong dogs is no problem for me! I own a gym with my fiancé in Morgan hill. I coach 2 classes a day wich allows me lots of free time during my days to care for animals. I have a fenced in backyard so your animal will be safe and protected when with me. When I’m in the clients home I never leave the dog alone for more than 3-4 hours which is rare I’m gone that long. But if I have to coach a class I’ll leave and come right back. I always give the dogs 3 walks a day even if the owner only requests 2. I just know it’s important for the dogs to get out and get some fresh air :)
“Lyan is an extremely kind and understanding person. Kuma had a great time staying in her care! We were provided pictures during his stay, and she took extra precaution to check portions of his food.”
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!

“Just wow! Julie provided the utmost in care, above and beyond expectations. She was so caring and loving for my dog. He loved her attention and love. Not a doubt who I'll use in the future.”
“Honestly one of the best walkers we’ve ever had. Timely, communicative and understanding. One of our doggos is a rescue and has trust issues, so it can be challenging for new people to walk him. Sandi, however, has been incredibly patient with him and seems to have earned his trust. You won’t regret booking her!”
“Susan was amazing! I had a last minute cancellation from my typical dog walker and was scrambling to find someone available to walk Theo. Susan quickly agreed. I didn’t have a spare key readily available so I arranged for Susan to go to the leasing office to retrieve a key. She did so without hesitation and was able to take my boy for his walk. I highly recommend Susan and will definitely use her for our dog walking needs again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs and cats: for 2 years now. Often times I would have their dogs stay with me. I kept them safe, cleaned, fed, and happy with play time and walks. I also have spent time with cats, doing drop-in visits, and feeding them. In addition I have an 11 year old cockapoo, so I can confidently say I have experience with animals and dogs that are different breeds and ages. I enjoy being around friendly animals. I’m currently off of school for the summer, so I’ll have lots of free time to take care of any friendly cats or dogs, happily! I enjoy taking morning walks with my dog, and would love to share this experience with other dogs! I am an owner to an 11 year old cockapoo who has a unique personality. I can confidently say I have great experience with taking care of pets.

I make sure your pet is well-fed, has water for hydration, and is being taken out for walks, bathroom breaks, and provided play time.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve the same patience, attention, and care we would give our own family. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I focus on making every walk and visit a positive, comfortable experience while keeping your pet’s safety and routine a top priority. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs extra cuddles, or simply wants a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have always loved and cared about all animals. I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a tarantula, and fishes. I am currently a veterinary assistant student and will be pursuing a vet tech degree right after! I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family friends would let me walk their dog around the neighborhood. Although I don't own any dogs currently, on my free time i go to the san martin animal shelter and do doggy day out. I take dogs on a field trips out of the shelter whether it is a hike, a day at the beach, or just a walk at a park. I am currently not working during the summer and am taking only online classes, so I have enough time play with you pups or kittens! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection! My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been a dog mom ever since I was a little girl. In 3rd grade, I was even known as the dog lover of my class. I have experience with a few different types of dogs such as Chihuahuas, Rottweilers, Poodles, etc. I currently work from home running my online web design studio so it's nice to be able to step away from the computer often to reset and what better way than to spend time with my favorites, dogs! I also work a part time retail job 4 days a week so I'm able to book walks on my days off of that job :) I'm a proud dog mom to 3 Maltipoos, Andy, Astro, and Pablo. If your dog is okay with other dogs, there's a possibility Andy and/or Astro will join! Please note I'm 5'0, I'm totally open to large/giant dogs, but preferably if they're good on leash (no leash reactivity, pulling, etc.), thanks so much for understanding! Rest assured your baby is in good hands! I'm a web designer so I need to be able to step away from my screen every so often for a break so going out for a walk is perfect for that! Since it's summer, it's preferred when the pavement isn't so hot. I have 3 dogs, two 8 year olds and one 15 year old. Our 8 year olds go on walks twice a day, once as soon we wake up, and again an hour after dinner. Our 15 year old is only allowed one short walk per day due to joint pain.
About: I’ve taken care of my own Siberian husky for 5 years and have also cared for other clients’ dogs for over 2 years. I’m comfortable with large or highly energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience and consistency. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I currently do not offer pet boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to visit clients’ homes for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while you’re away.
About: Hello! Im 42yrs old and have a deep passion to care and work with animals. Growing up as a kid my family always had pets from dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lizards, and snakes. I grew up loving animals. I worked at a few veterinarian hospitals for 6yrs. I'm now managing a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have a dog of my own (Blackberry) hes my baby. If you have more than a dog I'm happy to care for those pets as well during my house visit. As a dog walker, I'm not just walking a dog, I'm walking your loved 4 leg family member that i care for as they were mine. Your dog or pet will experience one on one loving companionship with me. I've done house sitting for 10 years with different pets in the house like dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I have a lot of knowledge taking care of pet and taking care of someones home.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own and other peoples pets since I was 5yrs old. Avid animal lover of all kinds and breeds 🥰 I have my own business so my hours are completely flexible every day. Morning, afternoon or evening. Would love to give your fur babies attention ! We live on 3 acres but our dogs and cats are mainly inside. The dogs have a dog run and enjoy the sunshine daily along with walks. Due to wildlife our precious cat Saint stays indoors.
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 had a love for animals since I was able to walk. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring their daily routine is strictly followed so you can enjoy total piece of mind while you are away. I’m currently on break from a job assignment that finished, and when I’m not working, I dedicate my time to dog boarding, dog walking, and volunteering at the shelter just to spend time with animals. Due to my current routine, it allows me to have open availability and flexibility with pet care. I have a fenced yard with lots of space for your fur baby to potty and play in, as well as two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily crate or separate your dog if personal space is needed!

“My dog had a perfect stay with Sepia. He was treated like a family member and really pampered. I got daily updates with photos and videos which was really helpful since we were leaving our baby for a long time almost 12 days for the first time. I highly recommend Sepia.”
“Great experience! Easy to coordinate with and did a great job with updates and feeding/play schedules. Would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable and excellent Rover.”
“We were so satisfied with Tracey’s services. Before we first met her, she took time to read our dog’s Rover profile. Then she sat down with us, asked us questions, and took notes. From the day we dropped our dog off, she kindly answered all my texts, and nothing ever seemed to be a problem for her. Our dog seemed completely happy, and would’ve been content to keep on staying there, had we not picked him up. Thank you again!”
“Son and her family took great care of my 14 yr old dog Willow! I was able to relax during Thanksgiving knowing Willow was surrounded with company and cozy home. She came back much happier and relaxed compared to my last Rover experience with a different sitter. Willow didn’t want to leave when I picked her up, that’s how much she enjoyed her stay with Son.”
“QI took great care of Arisha. Arisha is a shy dog and it takes time for her to get used to new places. QI noticed how sad Arisha was and made specialized chicken and carrot meals for her that Arisha thoroughly loved. Arisha is also afraid of dogs, but while QI sits multiple dogs at once, she was able to socialize Arisha with all the other dogs to a point where Arisha joined the pack and started hanging out with them more, which is close to a miracle. Thank you QI for the wonderful care, Arisha came back home energetic and happy. I'll be happy to book again next time I have the need.”
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When your pet stays with me, they receive the exact same level of deep compassion, endless cuddles, and focused attention that I give to my own. I am experienced with dogs, birds, and rabbits. I share my home with a wonderfully chatty, smaller-sized Siberian Husky named Fuschia. She loves to "talk," but she is trained, incredibly friendly, gentle, and absolutely adores playing with new furry friends. Other than being a chatty Cathy, Fuschia is the anti-husky- preferring to sleep and chill than having high energy. Whether your dog wants a playmate or just a buddy to lounge near, my husky is an excellent, welcoming host. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be alone and will receive frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, and all the affection they can handle. ------------------------------ 🩺 Experience & Special Skills I'm a lifelong pet lover who has owned or taken care of pets since childhood. I've owned tiny dogs (chihuhuas and terrier mixes), a large wild dog that needed extensive training (a wolf-husky hybrid), birds, a rabbit, and have helped friends take care of their exotic animals (snakes and lizards). I’ve been dog sitting for approximately ten (10) years. I have enjoyed sitting small dogs to giant doodles (who believe they are small lap dogs) as well as elderly and special needs dogs. I’m a true animal lover and offer comprehensive care tailored to your pet's specific life stage and health requirements: * From Puppies to Seniors: I understand the patience and frequent training breaks required for tiny puppies, as well as the gentle pacing, orthopedic comfort, and slow walks needed for elderly dogs. * Medical & Sick Dog Care: If your dog requires special medical attention, you can rest easy. I am highly experienced in administering oral and topical medications, managing strict dosing schedules, feeding according to strict dietary needs, and providing a calm, stress-free environment for dogs. * Small Animal Expertise (Birds & Rabbits): I don’t just care for dogs! As a prior bird and rabbit owner, I am fully experienced in handling, feeding, cage or pen cleaning, and understanding the unique requirements of rabbits and birds. ------------------------------ 🏡 My Home & Safety Setup Your pet’s safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. * Dog Play Areas: Dogs have plenty of room to stretch their legs, curl up on a couch, and run around and play inside the house and in my secure fenced in yard. When they play with my husky they will be always be supervised. *Sleeping: When it’s time to sleep your dog will sleep in a crate inside the house to ensure they are safe and secure while they are resting. * Sanitation & Routines: I’ll adhere to your feeding schedules. I’ll take your dog for a walk and can bathe them if requested. ** Separate, Stress-Free Zone for small animal friends: To ensure a calm and secure environment, all guest birds and rabbits are kept in a completely separate room away from any dogs in the house. They will enjoy a quiet, predator-free space where they can feel safe and be nurtured. During the week, I work from home and have a flexible shift that ends in the early afternoons. On weekends, I'm home, and your fur baby will get plenty of walks and playtime. I live in a gated community in Morgan Hill and have a securely fenced yard for your dog to run and play. I keep the dogs in the house when I'm working, and there are plenty of couches for the dogs to curl up on and nap. At night, the dogs sleep in a crate inside the house. I'd prefer to use your crate to make your dog feel more at home, but I have a small and large crate available for dogs that don't have one. Small Animals (birds and rabbits) are kept in a separate room the entire stay. They will not have any interaction with any dog in the house.
“Stasha & her boyfriend were wonderful! It was our first time boarding our pup and I was very nervous. She kept us updated throughout the day, and communication was great. She would send pictures as well! We will definitely book with her again.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“I was very nervous and never used Rover before. But sofiya took great care of my puppy. She made the whole process very easy. My puppy was very sad she had to come home to her boring parents. She was great!”
“Nayana took care of Shiro with love and treated him like her family member. She followed all our instructions carefully and sent us important updates with photos throughout the care. Shiro seems happy and enjoyed the stay with her.”
“Anusha is the best dog sitter around. I don’t think I’ll ever book vacations again without checking her availability first. She provides photos and videos daily updating us on their adventures together. She is very knowledgeable and treats our dog like a member of her very own family.”
“Dexter had a great time at Jade’s house! Jade and her family took care of him so well and gave him lots of love. She took him hiking as well as on a walk to see Christmas lights and she sent me lots of videos and pictures. We could enjoy our vacation without worrying about him at all. I also liked that she responded to all my text fast. Thanks Jade! Dex is already waiting for the next vacation 😊”
“Juan and his wife were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and took wonderful care of our girls, Marley and Nala. They were so patient with them while they adjusted and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for. They also sent us frequent updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. They also went above and beyond to help us during drop-off, and we’re so grateful for their patience and willingness to help. We would absolutely trust them with our girls again and highly recommend them!”
“Vince is amazing. I would give 10 stars if I could. I cannot thank this man enough for taking on our huge puppy very last minute and dealing with our crazy schedule. He has been absolutely wonderful to work with ,Vince put our nerves at ease (being that it was the first time our puppy had been watched outside of our home and by a new person.) he was in constant contact with us, sent pictures and ,exercised him. Zeus has been living his best life. Will definitely being using him again.”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
