“Melany is always timely, courteous, and keeps our dog's tail wagging!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and honestly, I can’t imagine life without them. From tiny pups to gentle giants, healthy tails to those with special needs, I’ve loved and cared for them all. I’ve always had dogs of my own and have also been lucky enough to help care for friends’ and neighbors’ pups over the years. Even though I work a standard 9–5, my partner is always home, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Between the two of us, there’s always someone around for walks, playtime, and snuggles. We make sure pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day — mornings, evenings, and weekends are all filled with quality time. Whether caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel secure and happy. I pay close attention to their routines, keep a watchful eye on their needs, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes to make sure everyone stays safe, and I treat each pet like they’re my own.

About: Experience - 9 months of being a pet sitter. 3 years with my own dog. 15 years with cats at home as a kid. Currently living with roommates who have 2 dogs and 4 cats. Currently going back to school. Working part time as a pet sitter gives me the flexibility to unwind when needing a break from studying and having a nice distraction of the pets to take care of. When caring for client's pets at their home I keep the house in order as I found it. If I am staying a few nights while a client is on vacation, I keep all of my over night items in one area to avoid misplacing them. If there are any instructions the client left for their pets or the home, I will update the client that those items have been completed as soon as possible.

About: I'm a easy person, profesional and responsable. Since I was child I've been taking care and spending time with dogs and general all pets. I love to enjoy the time and trying that the dogs have a good time acording to their needs. I'm originally from Colombia, Advertising and Marketing professional, I study english and desing but I would like to make some extra cash, so this is could be a perfect way to make it and help around to everyone who need it. This could be a good experience for everyone and also for you pet, I'll do my best to make their happy and you feel no worry about left alone for awhile. Let's care this beautiful pets together and make them happy.

“I was very happy with Maryna as she was very friendly and was very reliable. She also took good care of our dog and he loved the walks. Will definitely repeat with her again.”


“Punctual. Walked well with my doggie. Thanks!”


About: I have a senior cat who needs more attention so I am always taking care of her and giving her medicine. I am very experienced with animals who have certain special needs! I am currently focusing on school but that is only part time. I am available 5 days out of the week pretty much all day! Whether your dog needs a walk or your cat wants to play with some toys I can do it all. I always make sure to double check the requirements for your pet and ask lots of questions regarding they're care. I like to know the behaviors, certain tendencies they may have so I can better care for your pet!

“Ching-Chi H. is amazing with our large dog. She's always very prompt and conscientious for appointments. Beyond that our pup thinks she's amazing and can't wait to see her. She's very good with him and we feel like he's in good hands with Ching-Chi H. We highly recommend her services.”

I can offer over night stays of your pet at my place (for small and friendly dogs only) stay over at your house or drop in visits as well. I live in 2 story condo that has great area around to walk. Also I have my 4 year old 15ib chihuahua mix that can play with your dog he is very friendly

About: Owned and lived with dogs my whole life! Fit and active so able to walk dogs efficiently. Experience administering medication with food. Love spending quality time with pets! I am free mondays and tuesdays! If close by can possibly work out other days. I work full-time as a barista nearby and I’m looking to pick up a little more work. I met the pet where they are at! If they love cuddles I am up for that, or if they need space that is okay too! I make sure they are safe, secured, and have everything they need. And give them the reassurance and comfort they need until their owner returns 👍

About: I have been surrounded by animals since birth! I have gotten to enjoy the company of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and turtles in my life :) I've been able to learn a great deal about animals, and how to properly care for them, through my dad as he used to train/handle CHP K9 dogs and my best friend who has been an RVT at an animal hospital for over 5 years (and counting!). Starting as a teenager, I have continued to be the resident pet sitter for my neighborhood. I am a full-time student at SJSU working my way toward a teaching credential to become a future high school English teacher. I care for two cats right now and our daily routine is very smooth. School is my main responsibility, but outside of that I am available to check in on, and play with, some cute pets! My class schedule/load is consistent, but times are subject to change when a new semester starts. Honestly, my pets (cats) are living the dream! They are fed quality wet food and have running water available constantly. There are large cat trees, scratching posts, and toys galore! They also love to sunbathe out on the balcony. Depending on the household, I will do everything in my power to engage with your pets with their toys/treats/walks/cuddles, or however they love to interact! I truly understand all animals are different and I am flexible with their needs.

About: I was raised with dogs since I was born, both foster dogs and dogs I've adopted. For dogs I've adopted, I've had Terrier mixes, Shepard mixes, and mutts. For fosters, I've had Pit mixes, Chihuahua mixes, Poodle mixes, Dachshund mixes...a lot of mixed breeds. Currently I have a senior Terrier mix and a middle-aged Shepard mix. I was also raised with cats, my task being to clean their litter boxes and feed them. I have had several cats throughout my life, starting with a tuxedo named Sammy when I was very young. Currently I do not have any cats, although I wish for one. On weekdays and weekends, the EARLIEST I can drop by for drop-ins and walking by is 10:30AM and the LASTEST I can drop by is 5:30PM. I have a very flexible schedule! I am available to walk and check-in on both weekends and weekdays. In my own home, I care for my dogs through feeding them, taking them on walks around the block and neighborhood, and playing with them. I offer the same thing for your pet(s). I will keep an eye on your animal(s) throughout my stay and take them for as many walks as you'd like me to. I am also happy to take them out more than the times specified. I will also make sure they are all fed on time and always have plenty of water to drink.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a kid. I’ve raised and cared for everything from Chihuahuas to pit bulls to a Malamute husky who I loved dearly until I lost him. I’ve also cared for birds, hamsters, and even a chinchilla. I’m familiar with different temperaments and needs, and I know how to build trust with animals — especially the shy or anxious ones. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or just sitting with them, I show up with love, respect, and real care. Pets aren’t just animals to me — they’re family. Right now, I don’t have a job so I can do pet walks or pet sitting any day of the week except for Sundays ( Holy Days ) i’ve been living around this neighborhood my whole life so I know the area pretty well. I actually live right next to a dog park and I walk there every morning and evening, It’s beautiful and relaxing. I’ve grown up with Chihuahuas also had a pitbull for a while. My boyfriend in the past raised championship dogs and my last dog, Kaido was a malamute husky. He was a big bundle of joy and we played all the time they have high energy so you really gotta keep up and I honestly haven’t been around dogs since my dog died much. I am excited to get back and play with animals again. Taking care of them in the home making sure that they have food and water depending on the dog either keep a common environment or a more playful one always making sure I take them out. Keep them engaged and give them space when they need space and make them feel safe. I also wanna make sure there’s a lot of respect in your home so I am down with a rule sheet and any tasks that need to be done are not to big or too small. Pets are family and I will be treating your home and your pet like it’s my home and my family.

“We always use Maggie as a housesitter when we go on vacation. We have a lot of animals, 2 cats, a small dog, indoor birds and a bearded dragon. She takes great care of everyone while we're away and I can enjoy my time off knowing they are in capable hands.
