House Sitting West San Jose

“Rachel was fantastic. She started communicating before even arriving which is wonderful because it’s clear she cares. While we were gone she sent frequent photos and updates. Rachel was very thoughtful when taking our dog for walks (cognizant of the neighborhood dogs and owners). Our babies were well cared for and we are so thankful.”

“This was our dog's first overnight stay with Donna, whom our dog adores, and we appreciate her very much, too! Donna has provided much needed help to our family on occasion, and she provided cute photos of our very happy dog. Safety is of primary importance to us all. Thank you, Donna!”

About: Have been caring primarily for cats and some elder dogs since 2020. Friends, neighbors, and family know I am the go to person for all their pet sitting needs. Currently living at home with my parents and am available 7 days a week and for a wide variety of hours. Devoting my time caring for your pets. Very good at following your instructions for feeding, brushing, as well as litter box refresh and other "accident" clean up. I particularly enjoy the "Playful Activities" part of caring for your fur baby.

“Stephanie is prompt, kind, and communicative and we love having her watch Koopa. It feels like family is watching him and gives us great peace of mind.”

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”

“Michelle was fabulous. She both took great care of our pets and our house. Communication was excellent. We're super excited to have her sit for our pets again in the future!”

“Chris was extremely helpful during a time of need for our dogs Sage and Huey! He was dedicated, professional, and took the best care of our two dogs. He even made an extra trip when asked and we are extremely grateful for his help. We would love to work with him again in the future! 10/10 highly recommended!”

“Yumi has now taken care of my cat, Sherlock, 4 times this winter and they’ve really bonded. I always come home to a happy, healthy cat, and know that he is in good hands while we are away. Yumi is always very communicative throughout the stay and is very detailed-oriented when following directions. Our apartment is very tidy when we come home, which is an awesome bonus. Yumi is great!”

“As a first time rover user i was pretty hesitant to use the app, but Tiana has ensured that i use it more going forward. She is prompt, shares lots of pet pics while im away, and i think my cat ended up missing her when i got back”

“Sometimes he does it in the backyard. Before the walk. I’m really glad to hear he’s doing well. And having fun. I’ll be heading home and arriving around… I can’t remember, maybe around eight or 8:30 PM. But no worries whenever you have to takeoff. He’ll be fine. Thanks again! Talk to you soon.”

Cameron C.

“Scarlett took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow Cone! She was so kind, flexible to a couple of last minute changes, and took lots of great photos. She communicated really well with us, with very prompt responses, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. We are excited to book her again soon!”

About: I have 18 years of experience caring for other people’s pets and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I have also worked in a large-animal veterinary setting. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, multiple-dog households, and pets with medical or special-care needs. I am comfortable administering eye and ear drops, oral and topical medications, and food additives according to your instructions. As a preschool teacher, I am calm in chaotic situations, attentive to individual needs, adaptable, nurturing, and playful. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pet wants active play, a long walk, gentle companionship, or a quiet presence nearby, I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to keep your pet’s life as familiar and predictable as possible while you are away, reducing stress by following their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines. I work as a preschool teacher during the school year and am generally available for morning, late-afternoon, and evening care. My school-year schedule is best suited to pets who are comfortable being alone for at least six hours during the day. I have my greatest flexibility during summer and school holiday breaks, when I may be able to accommodate pets that need more frequent visits, closer supervision, medication on a specific schedule, or additional companionship. I will always discuss your pet’s routine and needs with you before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I care for every pet according to their established routine, personality, comfort level, and household rules. Before care begins, I make sure I understand feeding instructions, medications, walking routines, triggers, hiding places, emergency contacts, and any safety concerns. I strive to be consistent and dependable, communicate clearly, and keep you updated while you are away. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with care and respect. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or overall well-being and will contact you promptly if anything seems unusual. I can also board apartment-friendly dogs who are calm and safe around cats. Because I have a senior tripod cat, her safety and comfort are essential. Boarding requests will need to be a good match for a shared apartment environment, and I will carefully discuss your dog’s history with cats, behavior indoors, routine, and supervision needs before confirming.

About: You deserve complete peace of mind while away, and it should be a vacation for your pets, too. I work from home, have no pets of my own, and only take one client at a time, so your pet is guaranteed a calm environment and my 100% undivided attention. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family because I am highly reliable and observant. Having cared for dogs and cats since middle school, I’m deeply passionate about animal wellness. I excel at reading a pet's body language and noticing the small things, allowing me to quickly adapt to their needs and keep them completely comfortable in my home. Since I work from home, looking after a dog fits right into our day. I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pup, and I am used to doing morning and evening walks, with fetch breaks throughout the workday. I always stick closely to whatever instructions you leave to make sure your dog stays on their usual routine and feels right at home. I mostly care for pets in our own home, where I have a secure, fenced yard and plenty of space inside for them to relax and get comfortable. Because I work from home, they get constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks. Every pet is different, so I am super flexible and always stick strictly to whatever routine, feeding schedule, or rules you have in place to make sure they feel right at home.

“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
