“This is Pako’s second stay with Queenie, Yu-Chieh and Summer. Pako absolutely adores them and always have an enjoyable stay. We get frequent updates and photos and completely trust Queenie and Yu-Chieh to take care of him. Queenie and Yu-Chieh are our first choice when we need to board Pako.”
“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“We had such a fantastic experience with Juanyi and truly couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! From the very beginning, communication was enthusiastic, warm, and reassuring. We had a first meet & play before the dog boarding. Juanyi’ house is very beautiful, clean and suitable for dogs. During boarding, we received photo updates every single hour, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each picture showed our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time—whether playing with Panda and Kaka (Juanyi’s two LOVELY dogs), resting, or out on a walk. What truly stood out was her flexibility and responsiveness. At one point, we needed to adjust our pick-up time to one day earlier than originally planned. We reached out, expecting it might be difficult to change on short notice—but she responded very quickly and immediately adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. Her willingness to be so understanding and flexible completely really touched me!! Drop-off and pick-up overall were smooth and easy. Juanyi made the entire process seamless and convenient for us, which we deeply appreciated. It genuinely felt like she cared for our dog as if they were her own. Bagel and Panda become best friends!! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a reliable, communicative, flexible, and truly caring sitter!”
“This was the first time I’ve boarded my senior dog and I was nervous at first, but Leah took great care of Ddoongie. She kept me updated with pictures and short videos. I highly recommend her services.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
About: With a genuine love for animals and more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry family member while you’re away. Whether it’s fun walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my top priority. If you’re planning a weekend getaway, vacation, or need extended overnight care, I offer a cozy home setting where your dog can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for. Your pup will enjoy comfortable bedding, fresh water available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always prioritize safety by ensuring pets are supervised and outdoor spaces are secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Since I work fully from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate different pet sitting needs, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. As long as the schedule and any special instructions are communicated with me ahead of time, I can plan accordingly to make sure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care so they feel relaxed and happy while their owner is away. I also keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“We were incredibly impressed with our dog's stay with Jaynee. Leaving our furry friend for two weeks can be stressful, but the frequent updates with photos and videos put our minds at ease. We could see how much fun Pixel was having, and he clearly received lots of love and attention. We came back to a happy and relaxed dog, which is the best testimonial we could ask for! Thank you, Jaynee, for taking such wonderful care of our beloved pet.”
“Rachel watched our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. This was the first time to be away from our dog for more than a night. Rachel was great, regularly sending us updates and pictures. Our dog enjoyed being around other dogs. We will definitely take our dog to her again.”
“Ezra was fantastic with Bob. She took him pretty last minute and over the holiday too! Bob was happy staying with Ezra and playing with the other dogs. Ezra sent a few pictures and gave daily updates on how Bob was doing. Thanks Ezra.”
“Shenna had a wonderful time with Annie and Tim! The great photos Annie sent showed my girlie relaxed, cozy, and feeling safe and happy, and I had no worries that she was getting her important meds consistently. I really enjoyed our meet and greet and hand-offs, just for how cool of a person Annie was (and their dog Joey was adorable, too). Thank you so much -- I'll happily re-book!”
“This is our first time with Mary. We are very happy with the result. We had a hunch that our dog would have a good time stay. The pictures and captions during the trip showed that they enjoy each other very much. After the trip, it showed our dog is well taken care of and is just as happy as before the trip. When we mention Mary, our dog shows excited and wanting to play with Mary again. We made excellent choice this time. Definitely rebook.”
“Minh is so nice and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the experience. She sent us picture updates regularly, she provided a safe and clean environment for our dogs. We could not be happier. Thank you, Minh!”
“Melissa and Hyun were excellent caretakers, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them during my trip. They have a lot of experience with large dogs and knew exactly what questions to ask, as well as how to handle walks and feeding. I didn’t need to explain much, and they followed my instructions closely. They also kept me updated with great pictures and detailed updates, which I really appreciated. They are enthusiastic, easy to communicate with, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back again!”
“Jiapeng and his wife were very good host to Nikko. They provided constant updates with photos and videos. I highly recommend them. They have a dog that was a little jealous of Nikko but they made sure that the dogs were separated in the house during the stay.”
“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”

“Christina did an excellent job with our 3 kitties, she followed all the directions and kept everything nice and clean. The cats really warmed up to her right away and they became good friends, they were also not stressed out when we came home! I will definitely have Christina sit again!”
“Hailey is AMAZING !! She took really great care of our two kittys for a drop in visit. She is very responsive and I can tell she loves animals very much! She was awesome my cats warmed up to her the first day. She is great!!!”
“Nikisha is great! We booked a bit last minute and she was able to accommodate us. She came for a meet & greet which we really appreciated. She was thorough and took care of everything we had discussed. She also sent notes and photos which were much appreciated as well. We’ll definitely book with Nikisha again!”
“Perfect notes. He notices things about my cats they I don’t. My super-skitsch cats feel very comfortable around him and actually welcome pets from Chris. 10 stars!”
About: I have had pets of my own my whole life including dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, fish, turtles & bunnies. I am a vegetarian I love animals truly more than humans. I love to play, pet, or just spend time with animals. I am trustworthy, responsible, and reliable and I would love to look after your pet for you. I know it is scary to trust someone else with your pet but I would take care of them the very best and as if they were my own. I have a part time job, but still lots of free time to help out with your pets needs. My schedule changes week to week. I live in a house with 4 pets already, I would not be able to take any big animals home to look after. I can watch them at your home no problem and it is where they are more comfortable anyways.
“We were extremely happy with Yifei’s care. We entrusted our 16-year-old cat to her for five days. Due to our cat’s health condition, he needed liquid gabapentin administered by syringe into his mouth, and she handled this responsibility wonderfully. When we returned home from our trip, it was clear that everything had been done exactly as we had requested, and our cat was calm, comfortable, and happy. Normally, after we come back from a vacation, he is stressed and has usually lost some weight. This time, however, he was relaxed, content, and had maintained his weight perfectly. It was obvious that he had a great time with his sitter. In fact, before we arrived home, I checked the camera and saw him waiting by the door, most likely expecting her to come. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you’re reading this review, don’t hesitate for a second—reach out to her directly. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you so much”
“Zhengjun took excellent care of our cats! Our feline babies were well fed and played with, and we got a lot of pictures and videos from Zhengjun. We would love to have Zhengjun take care of our cats again!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking great care of our cat 🐈⬛. She was responsive and a good communicator. She informed me of all the little things and big things. She went above and beyond for us.”
About: Cats can be playful explorers or quiet snugglers, and I love caring for both. I have experience with kittens as well as adult cats and always make sure their needs are met with patience and care. I take pride in keeping litter boxes spotless, food and water fresh, and your cat’s routine consistent. I pay close attention to the little things — brushing, keeping favorite toys nearby, and ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable. I can also help with baths (for cats who are used to it), nail trimming, and gentle coat care.
“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”
“This is the first time Joleen takes care of my holland lop Piggy and she did a great job!! Piggy was doing great when I came back home and the floor was very clean. Thank you so much for your help!”
“Estefania was a great cat sitter! She was always on time, followed the instructions, provided lots of updates, and cute photos of my cat. And my cat really enjoyed her! Would highly recommend and plan on using her services more in the future.”
“Hope is a very nice and responsible sitter. My dogs love her. One of my dog Vishaka is stranger unfriended. But she gradually accepted and love her. She begged her to pet the last few sitting days. Hope messaged me and sent pictures everyday during the sitting. Thanks to Hope, my family were able to enjoy the vacation and no worries of the dogs.”
“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”
“Laurelle was great from day one, she spent extra time helping Bunny and Simba get comfortable and really focused on building trust with them. She was very thoughtful and communicative, even working around unforeseen issues proactively. It’s clear she’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her!”
“Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!”

“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”
“Grace is such an attentive and caring daycare provider for my dog. She's very communicative and made sure Arya was well cared for. Thank you so much for all you do!”
“I love booking with Anna, this is my 2nd time leaving my fur baby with her and she is so good with him. Anna is very understanding and accommodating to my puppy’s needs. She follows instructions and gives my puppy the attention he needs. Will definitely be coming back to Anna when we need her to look after my fur baby Oreo. Thank you Anna!”
“Ezra was AMAZING! We were traveling to visit with dog-anxious family and Ezra was able to swoop in and save us so that we could share a holiday with family. If we lived in the area, we would use her everyday! Thank you Ezra :)”
“My dog Sheera stayed with Dakshina and Rahul for a day. I got lots of photos and video updates. They took good care of Sheera. When I reached to pick him he was very comfortable with them and was playing with them. I would highly recommend them and would board Sheera with them again.”
“Melissa and Tommy took wonderful care of my pups. They made me feel at ease with updates and photos throughout the day. Appreciate them for taking such good care of my dogs and accommodating my schedule. Highly recommend!”
“100% amazing experience all around! Jiapeng and Katelyn took wonderful care of our Yuffie girl. We got plenty of updates and pictures from the day, she had a walk and plenty of potty breaks, and had an abundant amount of play time with them and Pika! We are very satisfied with their attention and care of Yuffie and will definitely book with them again!”
“Rachel couldn't have been more accommodating. I was running super late from work and she was so kind to look after Fritz until I finally picked him up. Thank you!!”
“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”
“Savannah has been the best for our boy, Zeke. She is so intentional in providing activity, walks, and attention. Every time we pick him up we can tell he has had an amazing day! Thank you Savannah, you’re the best! We highly recommend her.”
“Steve and his partner (fiancée!) are wonderful pet-sitters, super friendly to work with, and highly communicative. They happily accommodated a last-minute stay for Brady as a new client, which was so appreciated. When I picked up Brady, she was happy, not stressed, and clean :) We will definitely be back—thanks so much!”
“Feng made our shy pup Toby feel comfortable right away! She gave him lots of cuddles and treats, making him feel right at home. I will book again with Feng in the future!”
About: My husband and I have been dog sitting on a regular basis. We are comfortable with feeding routines, medication, walks and snuggles. We treat every pet like family - with patience, love and attention to detail As someone who works remotely, we have the flexibility to give pets attention.

We follow each pet’s usual routine closely and provide a safe and loving environment where they can feel secure and relaxed.
About: Hello! I am a responsible and caring animal lover. We do not have any dogs at the moment, but we cared for our family German Shepherd for 16 years. That gave me a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. I offer pet care in my apartment in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I only accept one dog at a time so I can provide personalized attention, love, and constant supervision. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine for walks, feeding, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send daily updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet will be in safe and loving hands with me ❤️ 🐾🐾 I am free throughout the day, which allows me to care for your dog full time while they are with me. I am available for boarding and doggy day care on weekdays and weekends, and I make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and care in a calm and safe home environment. I provide pet care in a calm, clean, and safe apartment environment. We do not have any dogs at the moment, and I only accept one dog at a time so I can provide focused attention, care, and supervision. I do my best to keep each dog comfortable by following their routine and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and at home during boarding or doggy day care.
About: I’ve been a true dog-and-cat person since junior high. Growing up, I was basically the “head zookeeper” of our home (2 dogs, 2 cats!), so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks.Now, as a full-time WFH professional based in San Jose, I’m home all day—meaning your pup gets constant attention, care, and companionship. I don’t just watch dogs—I treat them like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ The "SJC Convenience" 🛫 Traveling soon? I’m located in San Jose, just about 20 minutes from San Jose Mineta International Airport, making drop-off easy and convenient on your way to the airport.I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings and unexpected travel plans—if your trip comes up suddenly, you can count on me for reliable care. This is your dog’s second home ❤️ - Total Supervison: I’m home 24/7. No lonely pups here! 🏠 - Built-in Bestie: Our friendly Cockapoo puppy is always down to play. 🐩 - Same-Day Ready: Urgent daycare or emergency boarding? No problem. ⚡ - Photo Updates: I’ll send plenty of pics so you can relax on your trip. 📸 I have a remote job, so your dog will have 24/5 companionship and supervision during the week. I offer boarding Monday through Friday and are always open for last-minute or same-day bookings for those urgent needs. I also provide walking services when I don’t have pups boarding at home. While I focus on weekdays, I’m happy to discuss weekend care for my regular, returning clients! Safety is my top priority, and since I’m home full-time, I’m always there to keep a close eye on everyone. I have a friendly young Cockapoo in our apartment, but I’m very careful about how dogs interact. If your pup is a bit shy or just isn't in the mood to meet our puppy, I can easily give them their own dedicated room to relax in so they feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to at home. If you prefer they be crated for naps or bedtime, I can definitely make that happen. Whether they are playing with our pup or enjoying some quiet time, they’ll be treated like a member of our family the whole time they are here.
“Brianna is the best! Roo loves spending time with her & gets excited when we pull up. Brianna is very consistent, reliable, and great at communicating with us. She has become our daily go-to sitter! <3”
About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: • Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. • Panda: My energetic 4-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity • Constant Supervision: I work remotely, meaning someone is almost always home to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attention. • Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. • Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.

About: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds! I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement! My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!
“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”
“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”
About: I was raised with cats and dogs ever since I was a little kid. I can’t recall a time in my life where there wasn’t a furry friend around. Many of my pets I’ve had since they were babies until old age, so I have experience with animals of all age groups as well as breeds as small as chihuahuas to large Siberian huskies. I also have experience giving medications from my time watching a cavapoo with heart and lung issues. I’ve been off work the past 4 months because I recently had a baby girl and she loves our pets at home, but I want to get us out of the house more and what better way to do that than meeting new furry friends! I’m very respectful of peoples spaces and routines and always leave a space exactly as it was. I am willing and able to do whatever needs to be done to ensure the best care I am capable of providing

About: Hello! My name is Xiuhui (Sophie). I’m a dedicated dog sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have a poodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming, feeding, and creating a calm, structured environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s habits, diet, and emotional needs, and follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving home away from home. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need extra attention. Over the years, my own dog has experienced various health conditions, so I’m patient and comfortable providing gentle, attentive care when needed. I intentionally keep my boarding small (usually 1–2 dogs at a time), so each dog receives focused attention, consistent supervision, and personalized care. You’re always welcome to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, and light exercise. I provide a calm and comfortable environment and am best suited for dogs with moderate or lower energy levels, so they can feel relaxed and at ease during their stay. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community. My home has a comfortable private patio where dogs can relax, enjoy fresh air, and sunbathe safely. Right downstairs, there’s a fenced dog park where dogs can safely go off-leash for potty breaks and light activity, making daily care convenient and stress-free. I always ensure dogs are in a safe, calm, and clean environment.
“Excellent pet walker. Hope took care of Goldie so well. He was so happy to be around her the whole time. She was on time and was very helpful communicating with us the whole time.”
About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.
About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs and also dogs with heavily ignored background and they are my besties now. I can Walk and feed them And I can prepare special organic homemade recipes for them for additional cost (They deserve more than heavily processed food, which causes them a number of health issues) I am rather flexible throughout the week and weekends. Your dog can have playtime with my dogs or we can separate them if you prefer to do so I have a fenced backyard to protect your fur baby outdoor with security cameras controlling the entrance. I have a gated indoor hallway That I can leave it open or closed depending on your preference and how our dogs are getting along together 🐾💚
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 2 years, helping friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy giving pets attention and keeping them safe and happy. I have flexible availability and can adjust my schedule to fit pet care needs. Weekdays after school/work and weekends are usually open for dog walks and visits. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks, and create a caring environment
About: This is my first professional dog walking experience. I have walked plenty of dogs, both my own and my family’s and friend’s. I like dogs and enjoy walking outdoors, so dog walking felt like a natural way for me to help local pet owners. I’m a full time dad and my youngest is starting kindergarten soon, so I will have extra time in the morning. I also have a medical problem that requires I walk every day, so this would really help me too. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with patience, respect, and kindness while keeping you informed and confident throughout the walk.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. Whether your puppy loves long walks, playtime or just relaxing with company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away! 🫶🏻 I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, can follow feeding and medication schedules and always prioritize their safety and well being. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your doggy is in my care! I prioritize pet care with structured feeding times, dedicated play sessions and walks ensuring my companions receive the attention and love they deserve throughout the week. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet friendly environment with scheduled feeding, regular play time and walks. For client's homes, I adapt to the pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining routine, administering medications if needed, and offering personalized care to ensure their well-being and happiness. Open communication with clients keeps them updated and reassured while they're away so I make sure to provide photos!
About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating
About: I’ve been a true dog-and-cat person since junior high. Growing up, I was basically the “head zookeeper” of our home (2 dogs, 2 cats!), so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks.Now, as a full-time WFH professional based in San Jose, I’m home all day—meaning your pup gets constant attention, care, and companionship. I don’t just watch dogs—I treat them like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ The "SJC Convenience" 🛫 Traveling soon? I’m located in San Jose, just about 20 minutes from San Jose Mineta International Airport, making drop-off easy and convenient on your way to the airport.I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings and unexpected travel plans—if your trip comes up suddenly, you can count on me for reliable care. This is your dog’s second home ❤️ - Total Supervison: I’m home 24/7. No lonely pups here! 🏠 - Built-in Bestie: Our friendly Cockapoo puppy is always down to play. 🐩 - Same-Day Ready: Urgent daycare or emergency boarding? No problem. ⚡ - Photo Updates: I’ll send plenty of pics so you can relax on your trip. 📸 I have a remote job, so your dog will have 24/5 companionship and supervision during the week. I offer boarding Monday through Friday and are always open for last-minute or same-day bookings for those urgent needs. I also provide walking services when I don’t have pups boarding at home. While I focus on weekdays, I’m happy to discuss weekend care for my regular, returning clients! Safety is my top priority, and since I’m home full-time, I’m always there to keep a close eye on everyone. I have a friendly young Cockapoo in our apartment, but I’m very careful about how dogs interact. If your pup is a bit shy or just isn't in the mood to meet our puppy, I can easily give them their own dedicated room to relax in so they feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to at home. If you prefer they be crated for naps or bedtime, I can definitely make that happen. Whether they are playing with our pup or enjoying some quiet time, they’ll be treated like a member of our family the whole time they are here.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life since a baby. I love animals more than anything and will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m a stay/work from home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I can care for your pet while you’re at work or not at home. I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day. I live in a fairly large townhouse with a small back porch so there is enough room for a dog or cat to stretch out and relax
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he turned 7 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.
About: Definitely will be the filler of entertainment and fun when you need me to be! I love making a dogs tail wag and their drool hit the ground; I love giving belly rubs till they sleep and walking them till they get enough pats and “aw cute dog” compliments along the way! I’ve got the patience to learn about your dog and appreciate all their flaws and paws. Needless to say, not having a dog of my own anymore has made me really miss and want to buff up my skills on doggy caring so that I can be better prepared when I have my own little ball of fur around my home. I will put my heart into caring for them every step, walk, jog, and skip!

“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“Ezra was fantastic with Bob. She took him pretty last minute and over the holiday too! Bob was happy staying with Ezra and playing with the other dogs. Ezra sent a few pictures and gave daily updates on how Bob was doing. Thanks Ezra.”
“Shenna had a wonderful time with Annie and Tim! The great photos Annie sent showed my girlie relaxed, cozy, and feeling safe and happy, and I had no worries that she was getting her important meds consistently. I really enjoyed our meet and greet and hand-offs, just for how cool of a person Annie was (and their dog Joey was adorable, too). Thank you so much -- I'll happily re-book!”
“This is our first time with Mary. We are very happy with the result. We had a hunch that our dog would have a good time stay. The pictures and captions during the trip showed that they enjoy each other very much. After the trip, it showed our dog is well taken care of and is just as happy as before the trip. When we mention Mary, our dog shows excited and wanting to play with Mary again. We made excellent choice this time. Definitely rebook.”
“Melissa and Hyun were excellent caretakers, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them during my trip. They have a lot of experience with large dogs and knew exactly what questions to ask, as well as how to handle walks and feeding. I didn’t need to explain much, and they followed my instructions closely. They also kept me updated with great pictures and detailed updates, which I really appreciated. They are enthusiastic, easy to communicate with, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back again!”
“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”
About: Ever since I was little I always loved dogs and animals of any kind and because I had multiple dogs growing up, I learned how to take care of them. I currently have one yorkshire terrier named Luna. You can count on me to follow your instructions and keep you updated when you’re away. I am pretty much available full-time, and my schedule is very flexible! But still, feel free to send me a message for any questions :) Thanks to my personal experiences with taking care of dogs and cats, I’ll make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’ll update you with text messages and a bunch of pictures when caring for your pet.
“Matthew was amazing! Our cats took well to him and were very comfortable. My daughter felt secure and appreciated all the updates he provided. Will definitely keep him in mind for the next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Josephine was very nice to my dog the entire time. She always gave frequent updates, and made sure that my dog was safe and taken care of. I definitely recommend booking her!”
“Nacho had an amazing time. We got our daily photo and video updates and Nacho seemed to be having the time of his life with his goldie buddies. Definitely recommend and will not hesitate to book them again. Thank you!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our cat with Zhuoyang! They shared frequent updates and pictures. Our cat came back home very happy. Will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience boarding our puppy with Savannah! She was so caring and attentive to his needs. The first night he was a little unsettled, but she quickly figured out he just wanted to be close and moved his crate near her room, which made him so much more comfortable. She also sent us pictures and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It really showed how much she cares about the dogs she watches. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave Nico and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate sitter!”
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your cat’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“We had a really great experience with Son while he took care of our dog, Bru. From day one, Son was super responsive and easy to communicate with, which made being away from Bru a lot less stressful. He checked in with us every day to let us know how Bru was doing — how his mood was, whether he was eating properly, and how he was settling in. As a pet parent, those little updates mean everything. Son was also very thoughtful and respectful about Bru’s routine. If there was ever a situation involving new food or any change, he always asked or kept us informed first, which we really appreciated. He was also incredibly accommodating, coordinating smoothly with a friend of ours for Bru’s drop-off and pickup, along with all his things. That flexibility made things so much easier for us. Most importantly, we could tell Bru was comfortable and well cared for. We truly loved the way Son looked after him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Son to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet boarding option. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“Loved Anna from the meet and greet. She's very warm and loving to her furbabies as well as to pups she's pet sitting/boarding. She knows their quirks, knows how to take care of them, and they listen to her. That made my husband and I decide to hire her to board our two senior dogs (11 yo labrador retriever and 9 yo Chi-mix). We don't really board our pups as we have my brother pet sit them when we're on vacation. Unfortunately, my brother passed and it's really hard to trust anyone with our furbabies esp ours are seniors. Anna, put us at ease, as we really need to board our boys due to our daughter's wedding and we're not able to take care of them with all the events and planning. She sent us pictures and videos of the boys which put our minds at ease. She was very caring and patient esp to our Chi-mix as he has separation anxiety. Thank you Anna for taking care of our boys! It's a bonus is that she has a clean house, indoor dog room for when pups needs to rest, and a nice backyard. We highly recommend Anna...we love her!”
“Our terrier had a wonderful week with Ashita. She provided daily updates, pictures, and video. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her. Thanks Ashita :-)”
“Ben and family were great with my reactive dog, Whiskey. Whiskey got good walks, lots of attention and cuddles! Ben was very communicative, flexible and even accommodated us last minute. He also picked up and dropped off Whiskey - which saved me from a lot of stress. I got regular updates with pictures and funny videos. Overall, I felt like Whiskey was in good hands!”
