“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!”
“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.”
“My husky did an over night stay while we went out of town for a wedding. Sounds like she had a blast! Tracey and her husband took great care of her and listened to some small requests that I made. We definitely love bringing her here because she is well cared for and we know she will be safe and trust them. Thank you Tracey!”
“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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.”
“Stasha did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, I could tell he felt right at home. When we came to pick him up he was following her around and seemed sad to leave. She was very accommodating and communicated well throughout his visit.”
“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.”
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 ay dog in the house.
“Gigi did a great job watching my Maltipoo dog for 10 nights. Her family provided a true home for our pup, and I’ll always be grateful! She took great care of him, and took him on multiple walks a day. She has went above and beyond by brushing his hair and teeth, cleaning his eyes, and giving him a bath. She provided a lot of photos and videos and his list of activities that day which made us feel relieved that my fur baby is in good hand and having fun. He came home clean, happy and content. Highly recommend for anyone looking to board their pup! Thanks again for taking such good care of Ethan :)”
“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++”
“Jen and her family were very kind and sweet enough to watch my two cats over the weekend. I appreciate their patience with them as they get a little shy and skiddish meeting new people or being in a new place. She sent me updates and photos of the two of them. Opie (my boy) definitely was more of the explorer and curious one around the house. Mew (my girl) was far more shy, so I appreciate Jen and her family giving her space to feel comfortable. She had a designated room for them but also allowed them to explore the house which they do love to be able to climb around. I would definitely come back to have them watch the cats! Thank you to all of you!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet.

I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. 🐾
“Ranger always has an amazing stay with Anusha and family. This visit, Ranger had some digestive upset and Anusha took great care making sure his needs were met. She switched him to a bland chicken/rice diet (that she cooked for him!) and kept a close eye to make sure he bounced back quickly. As always, she was in touch everyday with photo and video updates. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Juliana kept us informed and sent us pics of our pup on a daily basis. We loved she walked him with other dogs every day, which he enjoys and loves. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and you could tell he's been receiving amazing care. I will for sure book again with Juliana in the future !”

“Trisha took great care of my kitties and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She is reliable and caring. The communication was clear and great. And she always sends the cutest photos. Can’t recommend enough!”
“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!”
“Sandi is absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my 2 cats with daily drop in visits. She did a free ‘get to know’ visit and wrote all the notes about food and litter and their hiding spots. My cats were too shy to say hi then, but over the next 8 days one of them was purring and cuddling with her. She sent daily notes and tons of pictures and even videos with detailed reports on how much food had been consumed, if they were peeing and pooing ok- some of those notes were hilarious and so endearing. She cleaned the litter boxes everyday and left that area so clean. At no point during the trip was I worried about the little ones. I highly recommend Sandi to take care of your fur babies (as she refers to them in her daily notes), she is awesome.”

“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!!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover I have been all my life. My mother was a vet (now she owns a mini pig rescue) and I've fostered/owned many many breeds of dogs and cats throughout my life. I'm passionate about wanting the best for my animals when I am away. And that is the type of service I would give you, and your pets. Knowing your pets are getting all the love and attention they deserve until you return. I have plenty of flexibility. Most drop ins will happen in the mornings then afternoons/ evenings. I'm caring and extremely considerate, I work very hard and I think getting to do that with lovely animals is a win win. Currently a student full time, and raising a teenage son. Available Wednesday- Saturday in the afternoons and evenings. Some mornings depending on the days of the week. My pets are indoors only. They have always been indoors and its very important that they do not get out. I am not offering boarding but will make sure all indoor pets do not get out.
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.

“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!!!”

“Jennifer and her Family (human and fur) are a fantastic fit for Cleo. She is a high energy dog and comes home fully exhausted from her playdates with Jennifer, Rosey and their team! My husband told me it was the "perfect fit" for Cleo and us!”
“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. 🐾”
“Kota has been happy with J and been well taken care of. The backyard is big enough to get some exercise. I got updates and pictures throughout the day. You can trust your dog will be taken care of.”
“Tracey is awesome. She watched my little Maltipoo Penny for the first time. I had a planned trip for Penny to stay with her 3 nights. I asked Tracey on short notice to elwatch Penny for a day to see how she did. She has never been with anyone else so I was worried she would be stressed out. Turns out everything was totally fine, Tracey took her for a walk with her dog and another one she was watching. and Penny enjoyed it. I will be taking her back this weekend to spend 3 nights. I feel really comfortable now and will be able to enjoy myself while Tracey watches her. The other thing I really liked were all the pictures Tracey sent while she watched Penny. Tracey s very easy to work with and super responsive! So glad I found her!”
About: What separates me from other pet sitters is experience and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, including seniors, high-energy dogs, and those who require extra structure, patience, or consistency. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, triggers, preferences, and training cues so care stays consistent with what they’re used to at home. I’m through about following care instructions, including feeding routines, medication, leash handling, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and body language and adjust care as needed to keep dogs comfortable and balanced. I also provide regular, thoughtful updates so owners always know how things are going. I provide care throughout the day to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Mornings typically include walks and potty breaks, breakfast, and any required medications. Midday care includes walks, enrichment, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on your pet’s needs. In the afternoon and early evening, I focus on additional walks or outdoor time, scheduled feedings, and appropriate activity or downtime. Evenings include a final potty break, dinner and medications if needed, and a relaxed wind-down period. I follow established schedules closely and provide regular updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I have a fenced in backyard for lots of running and play time & a climate controlled inside. Dogs are never left alone and always supervised.
“Luna had a great time with Huy. He took her on walks, let her play with another dog after introducing them, and took her to the dog park across the street from his house. We would definitely use Huy again.”
“Petra was wonderful to work with! Our pups were happy, socialized and well cared for during our day trips. Will definitely be calling on Petra for trusted doggy care in the future. Thank you, Petra!!!”
About: I was raised on a ranch in Texas with over 2000 stock to care for as a young child and teen. I not only love animals, but I have cared for all kinds of exotic, wildlife, and domestic animals. On top of caring for other friends and family members' pets for over a decade now. I have a Mane Coon cat and a Maltipoo now that I care for daily outside of caring for other fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule due to only being a provider of pet services. I live in a 3 story home with no yard. However, we do have a very nice pet-assigned area for bathroom needs on top of the most beautiful walking grounds you could ask for being a pet owner. We do not smoke. We have wood floors throughout our home. Pets are allowed on my furniture. Your pet will be treated like our pet and we would always put safety & happiness first.

“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!”
“Debbie is absolutely the best! She is so very gentle, kind and patient with our shy girl. When we met her she got down to Blossom’s level and slowly introduced herself and Blossom come to her. In the pics we receive from the walks we can see our girl is relaxed and enjoying her walk. I cannot stress enough, Debbie is the best.”

“Delaney was a lifesaver!! Took a few trips and our skiddish dog doesn't like strangers, but took to Delaney right away. She's very professional and attentive to notes. Would 100% book her again 😊”
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.
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: We’ve had dogs in our family for 10 plus years. We feed, bathe, and walk pets. We love to help with neighbors pets while away. We are home all weekend and enjoy having extra friends. We have kids who enjoy helping with the dogs outside playing and bathing and freezing. We have a home with a large fenced in backyard. We are close to parks where we can walk the dogs. We have a large dog door for access outside.
About: I was raised on a ranch in Texas with over 2000 stock to care for as a young child and teen. I not only love animals, but I have cared for all kinds of exotic, wildlife, and domestic animals. On top of caring for other friends and family members' pets for over a decade now. I have a Mane Coon cat and a Maltipoo now that I care for daily outside of caring for other fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule due to only being a provider of pet services. I live in a 3 story home with no yard. However, we do have a very nice pet-assigned area for bathroom needs on top of the most beautiful walking grounds you could ask for being a pet owner. We do not smoke. We have wood floors throughout our home. Pets are allowed on my furniture. Your pet will be treated like our pet and we would always put safety & happiness first.
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!

I grew up with dog’s, cat’s and cows, and I’ve cared for everything from shy rescue pups to playful kittens and even senior dogs with special needs. Morning starts with feeding time and a quick check to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. If I have a dog, there’s that refreshing morning walk — a chance for both of us to stretch our legs and breathe in the day ahead. If it’s a cat, maybe it’s a playful moment or just sharing a quiet breakfast together while they curl up nearby. I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I stick to feeding schedules, provide plenty of fresh water, and keep their living areas clean and tidy.
About: I’ve had my fair share of dogs since birth & found caring for dogs is a win/win, I get the therapy and they get the royalty! It’s in my nature to care for them and give them all the lovin they deserve. My friends come to me when needing a few day sitter or even just to come check on their pup when gone for a long day. If you see photos, I’ve cared for all of those dogs, all shapes and sizes! I’ve connected with my friends and community around time enough for them to trust me with their beloved pet and I’m excited to make this official. I live alone/have no other animals. I work part time in Gilroy during the week in the afternoon for a few hours, but I have free lots of time between to find those needing dog care locally! Currently I’m free mornings till about 2:30. Evenings after 7. Weekends depends. Sundays free! I live in a travel trailer and have some inside space for roaming, but am usually on property with lots of free land & a 10ft outdoor lead for when hanging at home, with door open of course unless I’m outside with. It’s a good life in nature. Minimal outside distractions. Lots of space & room for playing catch :)
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.

“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!”
“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.”
“My husky did an over night stay while we went out of town for a wedding. Sounds like she had a blast! Tracey and her husband took great care of her and listened to some small requests that I made. We definitely love bringing her here because she is well cared for and we know she will be safe and trust them. Thank you Tracey!”
“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Stasha did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, I could tell he felt right at home. When we came to pick him up he was following her around and seemed sad to leave. She was very accommodating and communicated well throughout his visit.”
“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.”
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 ay dog in the house.
“Gigi did a great job watching my Maltipoo dog for 10 nights. Her family provided a true home for our pup, and I’ll always be grateful! She took great care of him, and took him on multiple walks a day. She has went above and beyond by brushing his hair and teeth, cleaning his eyes, and giving him a bath. She provided a lot of photos and videos and his list of activities that day which made us feel relieved that my fur baby is in good hand and having fun. He came home clean, happy and content. Highly recommend for anyone looking to board their pup! Thanks again for taking such good care of Ethan :)”
“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!”

“Ranger always has an amazing stay with Anusha and family. This visit, Ranger had some digestive upset and Anusha took great care making sure his needs were met. She switched him to a bland chicken/rice diet (that she cooked for him!) and kept a close eye to make sure he bounced back quickly. As always, she was in touch everyday with photo and video updates. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Juliana kept us informed and sent us pics of our pup on a daily basis. We loved she walked him with other dogs every day, which he enjoys and loves. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and you could tell he's been receiving amazing care. I will for sure book again with Juliana in the future !”
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!
“Nayana is a great dog sitter for our anxious dog, Brando. I needed last minute coverage for our dog and she was willing to accommodate him. I feel comfortable leaving our family dog with Nayana anytime and know that he will be well cared for and loved. Communication during his stay was also fantastic!”

“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!”
