“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”
“Just like everyone’s fear specially your if you ever trust someone to care your family member. No doubt Leah is very kind, loving to my little fur (Hershey). She keep us posted everyday just like having a dairy for our dog. She will make sure that we have a piece of mind not to worry about our dog when we are away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their fur. Big Thank You Leah and her partner as well.”
“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!”
“This is Mochi's first time ever boarding. We couldn't have picked a better sitter. Mochi loved being in her backyard watching the cats and birds nearby. She was happy and secure sleeping in the large open kennel. She had nice long walks with her boarding friend Ava. I would definitely book with her again.”
“She took such thoughtful and attentive care of our dog. She sent frequent photo updates and made sure he got plenty of walks. Her responses were always very quick, which we really appreciated. She is truly the best pet sitter in San Jose. We would love to book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Aleksei and Galina stepped in to take care of Dasher at the last minute during a difficult situation. They were extremely helpful, thoughtful, and took great care of Dasher. Communication was easy and they provided lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely place Dasher with Aleksei and Galina again.”
“SHAVONNE is wonderful. She did a great job keeping us posted with pictures and telling us how he was adjusting. She was timely whenever we met and she is a gracious loving person who loves dogs. We will be boarding with her to watch our Marley again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“This is the second time yami has stayed with Joyce. Joyce provided frequent updates about how yami was doing and her family showed yami a lot of care and attention.”
“I just had to share my wonderful experience leaving my furry friend with Soyoung for the second time. The first time was for daycare, and this time, it was for boarding. My dog is a shy 4-year-old maltipoo, and it was his first time ever sleeping at a stranger's house. Naturally, I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. However, I was pleasantly surprised when Soyoung sent me a picture of my dog sleeping soundly on her lap! She even allowed him to sleep next to her on her bed, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture. It was evident that Soyoung truly cares about the wellbeing of the dogs she takes care of, and I feel lucky to have found such a caring and compassionate pet sitter. I highly recommend Soyoung to any fur parents out there who are looking for a loving and trustworthy caregiver for their pets. She goes above and beyond to ensure that your furry friend feels comfortable and secure while you're away. I am so grateful for Soyoung's care and attention and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“This was our puppy’s very first time being boarded, and I was honestly quite nervous at the beginning. Queenie&Yu-Chieh made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from the start — she asked thoughtful questions about his routine, food, and quirks, and throughout the stay she sent lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing. Our puppy is still young and full of energy, which definitely means extra work (potty breaks, training, supervision, etc.), but she handled him with so much patience and kindness. Her home is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, and her own dog Summer was gentle and welcoming with our boy. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with her and her home. We’re very grateful to have found Queenie & Yu-Chieh and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a dog boarding for the first time — she truly made us feel safe and well taken care of.”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Meijun was amazing and like a second mom to Fitzgerald. He was so happy with her and so loved and taken care of right away. I'm sure he almost wants me to go on vacation more often so he can go be with her 🫠 she's definitely one of 3 people I've ever trusted to take care of my boy”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Malika was an amazing cat sitter for Gigi! Gigi is very shy and cautious around new people, but Malika was very patient and knew how to help her feel comfortable. Gigi is also a 16 year old senior cat with a more specific feeding routine, and Malika followed everything carefully. She sent regular updates a few times a day which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Malika was communicative and very knowledgeable about cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“We used Yan for our ShihTzu for the second time and once again, she took good care of him. Daily updates are nice. We are very happy with the care he receives from Yan. We will be using Yan in the future.”

“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for.

About: I have fostered two cats for 2 months and cat sat multiple times for my friends. I've made DIY enrichment toys for energetic cats, and also co-existed peacefully with cats who preferred to interact only when it's time to eat. I enjoy learning the personalities and quirks of each cat I meet, and am always grateful for the opportunity to be trusted with the care of your pet!
“Laurel is an amazing cat sitter!! She made me feel so reassured while I was on my trip abroad. I can tell she really loves cats and made my sweet boy as comfortable as possible while I was gone. She does a wonderful job keeping the place tidy and her communication was superb! I’d recommend her any day. :)”
“Qianwen took great care of my cat for two days. My cat is usually very shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, so I was really surprised and happy to see her playing with Qianwen on the first day. Qianwen also cleaned the litter box and sent thoughtful photo updates. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Athena was wonderfully responsive, and when our automatic feeder stopped working Athena was able to arrange an extra visit to troubleshoot the feeder make sure our cat, Augustine, was well fed and taken care of.”
“Zihan is absolutely amazing! Anyone can tell she is a true cat whisperer! Her love to kitties is incredible. Our cats loved Zihan andi am so glad I met her. I definitely recommend Zihan!”
“This was our first time using Sara when our usual sitter was unavailable and she was great! She was very attentive during the initial meeting and it's very assuring to have a vet tech as our sitter as our cat gets older. She took fantastic care of our cat, going above and beyond! She sent lots of photos as well.”
“Yifei provided plenty of photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat seemed very comfortable with her, and he was perfectly happy and well cared for when I got back. I would highly recommend her and book her again!”
“Stephen was absolutely amazing with my cat ! I booked Stephen last minute for 6 days . I am glad he was available. I could not have found a better sitter for my cat. He made sure to feed and refill my cat’s food and water while I was gone. He sent tons of pictures and very responsible in communicating with me over the Rover app! He checked in timely and was extremely professional, he spent a lot of time playing with my cat! I will definitely book him again”

“Laurelle is AMAZING! She is a full time pet sitter so she is focused on our beloved pets! Laurelle communicated well on her ETA to meet for key pick-up and drop-off. She was open to any changes (I went from 2-1 hour to 3-30 min. sessions). She was gentle and kind with our cat, Ada, and gave her many pets. Laurelle provides many pics and information during her visit summary.”
“Emily was amazing! She followed the instructions we left, even went back when she thought she had forgotten something. She communicated everything well and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely be returning to Emily for future needs!”
About: I adopted my two cats, Bee and Juju, from their foster mom about four years ago when they were just four months old, and they’ve been my best little companions ever since. Juju is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and always curious about what’s going on around her, while Bee is adventurous, playful, and loves exploring. Getting to know their unique personalities has taught me that every pet is different, and I enjoy giving each one the love, patience, and care they deserve.

“I dropped off my puppy with Soyoung in May for doggy daycare. I can tell Soyoung is wonderful with dogs. Nico, my puppy, went to her with no hesitation. Soyoung kept me updated on his day and sent me photos. I felt very relieved that Nico was enjoying his time with her. He seemed very happy when I picked him up. I had left a few of Nico's items at Soyoung's home, so she offered to deliver them to my home. Nico was super excited to see her when she arrived. After she left, he whimpered at my front door. :) I will definitely book Soyoung again to care for Nico.”

Anlin and family are really nice and take awesome care of your pet. They checked in with photos throughout the day to let you know how your pet is doing. Would recommend for anyone who needs dog care.”

About: I have taken care of pets for my family and friends like my own. I have experience in pet sitting medium size dogs. I board only one pet at a time to make sure they get quality care and full attention. I’m currently a working professional from home mostly. I can take care of pets given a prior notice. I can take them for a walk. I have a fenced apartment. I stay at home most of the time and will make sure to take care of your pet. There’s a big park in my community so going out for a walk is not an issue
“Jie was responsive and flexible when making our (last minute) plans. She shared great photos and videos while watching our pup. Would absolutely not hesitate to ask Jie to look after him again. Thanks so much, Jie!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have fully open availability. I am constantly hanging out with our 20 lb poodle. She loves the company of other dogs. We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! I have a small fenced yard with 1 poodle to keep your dog company. My neighborhood we walk a few times through the day. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!
“Shivani was great with Zion, she is officially the 1st person to dog sit him besides a kennel and at 1st I was extremely nervous. I can tell Zion had a great time from all the photos Shivani posted. Plus I could see all his activities. So happy Zion got to experience Shivani.”
“I’ve tried several dog daycares and sitters, but Gunyung is truly the BEST dog lover I’ve ever met! My dog is quite picky with people, yet by the second time, he was already running toward her and trying to jump into her arms.😂 She takes my dog on picnics, parks, and even brings him to her friends’ dogs’ birthday party 🥳. Seeing my dog in the photos she shared, it was the happiest I’ve ever seen him! Gunyung is calm, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the dog she looks after. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.👍🙏”
“I had the most wonderful experience with Remya! From the moment I dropped off my furry friend, I knew they were in good hands. Remya is not only incredibly kind and loving but also flexible with their time, which made my life so much easier. Throughout the entire time my dog was with them, I received regular updates, photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my pup was happy and well taken care of. It's clear that Remya genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. I highly recommend Remya to anyone in need of pet sitting services. You can trust them to treat your furry family member with the same love and care as if they were their own. Thank you, Remya, for being such an incredible caregiver!”
“Ashita was wonderful for our 5 month old doodle, Kulfi! Extremely loving, caring and doting attention to our puppy. He felt immediately at home with her. She constantly sent us updates and pics, and asked us specifics on his feeding and other schedules. Kulfi seemed very happy when we picked him up, and when he jumped on us with happiness, he jumped on her too, which showed that he had a great time with her. She also has a lovely open yard, which our doodle loved. Thank you, Ashita!”
“Dawn is the best Rover we could ever ask for!! She treated our dog like her own. It’s very obvious how deeply she cares about dogs. Leaving Tofu with Dawn eased our mind so much when we’re busy at work. Not only does she make sure he’s safe, she’s also making sure he’s having so much fun! Now when we take Tofu to Dawn, he’s happily wagging his tail with joy and doesn’t look back! We only have good things to say about Dawn. Thanks again Dawn!!”
“Akshata and her husband were great! They took good care of our Lola and provided plenty of pictures and videos. They were very flexible and accommodating. Lolita can be a handful at times since she is still in the early days of training but they took her on with patience and care. We highly appreciate their work and we will definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Xin was friendly, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. My pet seemed comfortable and well cared for, and everything went smoothly. I would be happy to book with her again in the future.”

“Quianwen was absolutely amazing. Flexible, understanding, and incredibly caring throughout the entire experience. She followed all of the instructions carefully and was so kind, supportive, and loving with Shakti, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s also such a relatable and easy person to communicate with. I would 100% use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for two of my own—a Chihuahua and a Poodle—since I was little. From playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m experienced with small breeds, and I’m always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always available to give your pup the attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m lucky to have a dog park right in my apartment complex for quick outings, and on weekends, I love visiting larger public dog parks for more space to play and explore. Your pet will always have plenty of activity, attention, and care with me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my place, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime—plus easy access to the dog park in my apartment complex. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, including feeding, medications, or crate training. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!
“Rushil has been absolutely awesome with our pup. He is very friendly and accommodating. Our pup is always so excited and happy to go on her walks with him. Thank you so much for being an awesome dog walker Rushil!”
About: I am a lifelong lover and owner of pets with over 25 years of experience. Having had companions, including several dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a rabbit, I have a knack and love for caring for and playing with animals. I am a current fur dad as well to an Australian Shepherd and a rambunctious little Seal Point Bengal. By the way, if your dog isn’t prey driven, I don’t mind rollerblading them and helping them to get some exercise if that is an option! All of what I make here by the way is going towards my MBA degree at USC and continuous veterinary bills for my dog with prescriptions and dietary restrictions. Pet care occupies my time outside of my day job and it gives me an excuse to get outside, provides possibilities of having some company and socialization for my dog (she does especially well with puppies), and other opportunities to get out and be the excitement in or exercise opportunity for a fur baby or fur babies outside of my own. I usually give the animal space and time to feel me out, as well as the environment if they are in my home. I know that not all animals warm up right away and that it may take several visits for the animal to become comfortable with me - I am patient and perfectly fine with this.
About: I have experience on Trusted Housesitters with five star reviews (included in photos). I've cared for pets of my family, friends, and clients, including elderly dogs, active large breeds, and those requiring daily medication. I enjoy walking active dogs and giving them lots of attention. I currently provide dog walking and drop-in visits in Santa Clara County within approximately a 15-mile radius of San Jose (95110). I offer morning and afternoon walks, runs, and drop-in visits with flexible scheduling based on your pet’s needs. I also provide overnight pet sitting services in both Santa Clara County and Marin County. As an active pet caregiver, I enjoy helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and engaged through walks, runs, and personalized care. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets feel comfortable and families have peace of mind while away. I always take safety precautions to ensure there is no risk of your pet getting hurt or escaping. These precautions are tailored to your pet's personality and the owner's instructions.
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.
“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!”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my girls. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet and loved being with her. I truly enjoyed the pictures and video updates and especially love how my cat took to her also. I will definitely check to see if she is available for any time that I will be traveling and in need of help. Thank you so much Dawn! XOXO Enzi and Annie 💜”
About: I have pet sat for over 10 years, caring for all kinds of animals — dogs, cats, rats, and more. I've been a pet owner my whole life, so I deeply understand the bond between a pet and their family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages-old dogs who need medication and young dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime, so I am fully prepared to adapt to your pets needs. I'm active and love the outdoors, so your dog will always get plenty of walks, playtime, and fresh air. I am currently working part time and have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. I can be there whenever you need, morning or night, as well as throughout the day. I do not have any pets at home but I have a great backyard with plenty of quiet residential streets around me that are perfect for walking your pet!
About: I’ve worked in a dog’s hotel so I know all about how to take care of dogs, even many dogs at the same time. Also has been taking care of my cats ever since they were one month old all the way to adulthood. Weekends and weekdays afternoons would work best for me, own a car so I’m perfectly comfortable with taking dogs on walks and driving them around. I do have 2 cats in my house currently, so I’m more focused on caring for pets in my client’s house, also perfectly comfortable with taking dogs on walks.
“Suz was so great! Super quick to respond, kept me updated and provided tons of photos - our pup was so happy with her walk. Will be connecting with her again for another walk - and would highly recommend!”
About: I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.
“Xi was great! She took good care of our dog while we were gone. She walked her, gave her love and her medicine. There was quick and clear communication the whole time. We felt our dog was in good hands. Will use her again!”
About: I've taken care of all manner of animals from dogs and cats to chickens. I have grew up in Los Gatos and that is where most of my clients have been base. I've worked with animals of all ages. I am available in the mornings and the evenings each week day and all day on weekends. I have a flexible schedule on the weekends- anytime will work. I care for all pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog and cat owner for over 10 years and truly understand the love, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. At home, I have a Bengal cat and a Miniature Schnauzer mix, so I’m experienced with both feline and canine personalities and daily care routines. I work full-time in the tech industry from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family members, provided cat sitting for friends while they were away, and volunteered with NKLA Animal Rescue to help care for foster dogs and cats. For boarding, I only accept 1 guest pet at a time to ensure each pet feels comfortable and at home. I live in a quiet community with beautiful walking trails and easy access to nearby dog parks. Since I work full-time from home in the tech industry, I am home throughout the day and naturally build pet care into my schedule. On the weekends, I usually take longer walks on the nearby trails or parks. Whether I'm caring for my own pets or a guest, I prioritize keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. In my home, I only accept 1 boarding pet at a time to ensure they receive my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I will follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and instructions.

This is a very great mom daughter bonding time for us to take care of your pets. And I want her to learn to be more responsible and get a sense of money. Your pets will have great time with us! Our schedule is very flexible. It can be discussed. I’m working from home. And most weekends are free as well. Contact me for more information. I will send you pictures of your pets when we are with them. We will feed them and make sure water is served. We will also play with them after meal

“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”
“She took such thoughtful and attentive care of our dog. She sent frequent photo updates and made sure he got plenty of walks. Her responses were always very quick, which we really appreciated. She is truly the best pet sitter in San Jose. We would love to book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Jie and George took great care of Coco and maintained proactive communication through the entire time -- with pictures, videos and updates. Jie always responds quickly and is so affectionate and loving. Thank you so much!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by furry friends. Having shared a decade with beloved canine companions, I plan to unite my passion and expertise to create a haven for your pets. Ensuring a home filled with love, playfulness, endless cuddles, and the comforts they deserve. I work from home and am available to attend the needs of your pets. Rest be assured that your dog’s time will be filled with active walks, fun play, regular feeding to ensure a balanced routine. I plan to stick to the personalized care you provide your pets so that they don’t feel like they are too far away from home. Additionally, have a designated lawn area for play and rest!
About: I've had dogs for nearly 20 years and know every dog has their own personality and routine. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, daily walks, and plenty of attention. I only board one household at a time because I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home, not a house full of unfamiliar dogs. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also pretty laid back. I've cared for senior dogs, including one with megaesophagus and myasthenia gravis, so I'm comfortable giving oral and liquid medications and following special feeding schedules. Before every first stay, I'd love to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. During your dog's stay, I'll send plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home full time, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by another walk in the afternoon and a shorter walk before bed, plus potty breaks as needed. Henry and I visit nearby parks every day, and if your dog enjoys dog parks too, I'm happy to include those with your permission. If not, we'll stick to neighborhood walks and on-leash park visits. On hot days, I'll adjust our schedule and walk during the cooler parts of the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I only board one household at a time, I can give each dog plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they're settling in. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and all walks and park visits are on leash unless we're in a designated enclosed area and you approve. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also happy to relax and do his own thing. I also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and usually prefers to stay out of the action. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, furniture rules, and any other instructions that help them feel at home. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to use your crate if you bring one.
“Rachel, CW and their girls were great with our dog. They sent daily detailed updates and lots of really great photos. They were quick to respond to any questions. I know our dog was well cared for- he went on lots of walks, got lots of belly rubs, and played tug. Would definitely recommend.”
“Melissa and Hyun were great with Zorro! They made sure to provide updates every day and were very prompt with responding to anything. They were amazing at taking care of Zorro and made sure he had all the love and care he needed. I would definitely have Zorro stay with them again!”
“This is our 3rd time using Michelle and she is great with our fur babies! We received updates day and night with photos. I have a complicated eating schedule for my dogs, but she always follows it with care. Love that it's one dog at a time. That gives our family so much peace of mind knowing they are getting the attention they need. We are booked again with Michelle for summer vacation. I know they will be well taken care of. :)”
About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to a friendly, well-socialized 3-year-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. Caring for my own dog has given me experience with walks, playtime, feeding, basic training, and understanding dog behavior. Your dog will enjoy morning and evening walks, plenty of supervised playtime in my secure, fully fenced backyard, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving home where your pup feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family—not just another boarding stay. I also provide regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and treated like family throughout their stay every day.
