“Jatin is truly amazing! He house trained Deemo so well and I am truly impressed! We dropped off a routy dog and picked up a house trained dog after four days of boarding. Thank you!”
“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”
“Tracey takes such good care of our girl Ruby. Ruby is always happy to see Tracey when we drop her off and she is always happy and relaxed when she comes home which tells me she is comfortable with Tracey and had a good time. Ruby has daily walks and play time outside and inside too. Tracey sends regular updates/photos and we received a video on this trip as well. I never worry about Ruby when she is with Tracey. Tracey is the absolute best and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional dog sitter to care for your pets.”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“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.”
“Julie was amazing.Our first time using Rover and 100% would book her again. She sent pictures and updates frequently and I think Oreo would have chosen to stay longer if he had the option.”
“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
“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.”
“Petra took such great care of Professor who can be difficult at times. Communication was very good and helped us enjoy our vacation knowing Professor was safe and happy. Would definitely have Professor stay here when we are out of town next.”
“Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
““Jennifer took excellent care of our dog while we were away. He can be a bit timid around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly. She sent lots of photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated, and he even made a new friend!”
“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.”
About: Comfortable with any size or breed of dog. I have a fenced yard with no small children, easy access to walking trails and dog park. I am retired and am home all day and weekends. I have a dog friendly vehicle and flexible schedule. I usually walk 4-5 miles daily. I am comfortable with all dog breeds. I have room for crates if needed, and have a dog friendly home. I can follow specific dietary needs
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.
“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!”

“Angelina was super communicative and very thoughtful. She gave us frequent updates and our cat was so calm when we returned from our trip! She even took our mail in for us while we were away :) We are already planning on hiring her again!”
About: I’ve helped take care of my grandma’s cats since I was young, and three years ago I adopted my own rescue kitty. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with FIP, and caring for her taught me how to give eye drops and oral medications gently and patiently. She’s now thriving, and that experience gave me a lot of confidence caring for cats with medical needs. I know many cats can be shy or skittish, and I’m always patient and willing to move at their pace. I take feeding instructions and dietary restrictions seriously, and I treat every cat like one of my own. You can trust me to give your fur babies lots of love and attentive care.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and chickens which taught me how to care for every animal with patience and love from an early age. I am calm, dependable, and connect naturally with pets, even the more shy ones. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies as well as senior pets, including giving medications and following special routines which I do for my own senior dogs. I always treat every animal like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe while you are away. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, and I love spending time playing with, walking, and caring for pets. I am a recent college graduate currently searching for work which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I can provide care morning, afternoons, and evenings, and will happily adjust to your pet's needs and routine. I care for pets in their own home with much love and attention, following all instructions and routines closely in order to keep them at ease in the surroundings they know best. I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort while also treating your space and belongings with respect. Having cared for animals my whole life, I make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you are away so that they feel at ease.
“Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!”

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

“We were nervous about leaving our two cats alone for the first time! Taylor is such a lovely person and you can tell that she really cares about the animals. One of our cats was really scared when Taylor came to meet them (they normally are not around other people), but Taylor won Gigi over on the second day of the drop in visit! She took pics and it was great to get the report saying how they were doing. We will definitely book her again when we travel!”

“Tracey is truly the best! Very communicative and sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the pet’s stay.

“I highly recommend JD if you need doggy daycare in his area. JD Is compassionate and very knowledgeable in canine behavior . My dog was well cared for at her stay. I would use his services again if we’re in the area.”
“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. 🐾”

“Angelina has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dogs. She cares for Winston (our Cockapoo), Charlie, Annie (our Labradoodle), and our Bernedoodle, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She has such a calm, wonderful presence, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs.

Because I do this for fun, the money is the last thing on my mind. So, if you’re on a tight budget, I hope my low rates help you out. If you still need to arrange something that fits your budget, please contact me! I am happy to help. I hope to be part of your fur baby’s life! I’m currently working from home, so I’m available for full pet care unless it’s days I travel out of town for work, which will be posted on the calendar. However, if you need pet care and you are in a rush/in an emergency, feel free to reach out and I am always happy to accommodate when possible. I make sure that when taking care of pets in a clients home that everything is left spick and span— I’ll sometimes do light cleaning so that owners come home from their long trip to a sparkling home that smells fresh and clean. When taking care of pets in my home, it is the same way. I will always dedicate plenty of time to your fur babies and they will be with me wherever I go.
About: I help care for my own dog and his brother regularly, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime. I follow dietary restrictions closely and stick to each dog’s routine. I’m patient and understand that some dogs need extra time, structure, and positive reinforcement. With owner permission, I’m also happy to take dogs on safe, fun car rides for enrichment or outings. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I work during the day on weekends, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings. During the week, I attend school and travel, but with advance notice I can usually accommodate drop-ins, walks, and sitting. Clear communication helps me plan ahead so I can provide consistent, reliable care. I’m comfortable providing daytime care in your home and can stay overnight if absolutely necessary. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to keep pets comfortable, calm, and safe in their own environment.
About: I have taken care of, walked, and house sat for many years. I have experience with small to large house dogs, competition dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I also have experience with giving multiple medications to many dogs all within the same household. I have also owned, cared for, and lived with multiple cats. I live in San Jose and attend school five days a week. Therefore my schedule is mainly open on the weekends or check ins through out the week, mostly in the afternoon/evening I try to maintain an orderly environment. I work with the dog so there is a sense of trust and comfort since I am a stranger to them, as well as an understanding that I am in charge in order to maintain a controlled and safe environment

“Jatin is truly amazing! He house trained Deemo so well and I am truly impressed! We dropped off a routy dog and picked up a house trained dog after four days of boarding. Thank you!”
“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”
“Tracey takes such good care of our girl Ruby. Ruby is always happy to see Tracey when we drop her off and she is always happy and relaxed when she comes home which tells me she is comfortable with Tracey and had a good time. Ruby has daily walks and play time outside and inside too. Tracey sends regular updates/photos and we received a video on this trip as well. I never worry about Ruby when she is with Tracey. Tracey is the absolute best and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional dog sitter to care for your pets.”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”

“Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
““Jennifer took excellent care of our dog while we were away. He can be a bit timid around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly. She sent lots of photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated, and he even made a new friend!”
About: Comfortable with any size or breed of dog. I have a fenced yard with no small children, easy access to walking trails and dog park. I am retired and am home all day and weekends. I have a dog friendly vehicle and flexible schedule. I usually walk 4-5 miles daily. I am comfortable with all dog breeds. I have room for crates if needed, and have a dog friendly home. I can follow specific dietary needs
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.
“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!”
About: I’ve always had dog in my life. Having my own dogs as well as working in a vet hospital I have much experience in giving love and care to all pets I meet. I’ve been entrusted many times by family and friends to take care of their pets. My days consist solely of pet care. I have many of my own that I take care of daily and I am looking to branch out in the care I can give. I have a large 2 acre property fenced in and two very friendly dogs who love to host. I am also available for care in your home for walks, playing, or feeding.
“Nicole was amazing! Our dog (Loki) was happy and tail wagging when we came to pick him up. Pics and great communication throughout the visit. Loki can’t wait to hang out with his new friend again!”
“This is the second time we hired Juliana to watch our dog, Maui, and we were very happy with her services. She's very communicative and shares updates and pictures regularly. Still highly recommend her and we look forward to a future booking with her.”
“Extremely happy with our booking with Anusha. Great communication with video and text updates throughout the days Buddy stayed. Felt very comfortable leaving him in Anusha’s care. I would recommend Anusha to anyone and would use her again🤓”
“We are so pleased with Robby! Thank you again for your continued flexibility with last minute changes and quick response time. We look forward to continuing your services and it’s always fun to see what new toy and treats Indy comes home with. Thanks again!”
