House Sitting In Willow Glen

“Danyel was absolutely amazing! This was my first time leaving my baby since I adopted her and I was quite nervous as she's anxious and high energy. Danyel was so understanding and communicative the entire time. She updated me with pictures and texts multiple times daily which alleviated all of my anxiety. Thumbelina(my dog) absolutely loved her and seemed totally relaxed. My apartment was spotless when i came back and I couldn't be more grateful. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone with animals themselves!!”

“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! 🥰🐾”

“Tracey was amazing! She did such a wonderful job caring for our dog who is unsure around new people. Tracey was incredibly patient and let Luna warm up at her own pace throughout the weekend, which meant so much to us. We would absolutely book Tracey again and highly recommend her!”

“Kaili took excellent care of my shy, anxious dog. She kept me informed and sent great pics and videos. She obviously formed a warm bond with my dog. And she left my house spotless. Thank you!”

“Literally top notch sitter. Our dog loves her and she did amazing with our bunny and Guinea pigs - even dealing with an emergency with such responsibility and respect.”

“I love having Sejla come and stay with my dog and two cats. I know that they are going to be well taken care of and loved and nurtured just as if I were home. She is amazing and I know when I go away I will be able to do so knowing with full confidence my fur babies are in great hands.”

“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”

“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!”

“Thank you Diana for taking care of Roxy. I don’t think Roxy had separation anxieties, but we did. Your pictures and notes helped us relax and enjoy our vacation. We appreciated that you walked Roxy a lot. We will definitely ask you to dog and house sit again if we go on any more trips. It was really nice to come into a clean and neat house and yard. Again, thank you for everything.”

“Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.”

About: Is your dog too much for daycare — but too much to just leave with anyone? Hi, I'm Whinde, and I specialize in calm, structured care for dogs who don't thrive in busy daycare environments. Many of the dogs I work with are dogs who: • get overwhelmed in group settings • are anxious, reactive, or sensitive • were asked to leave daycare • simply do better with calm, one-on-one attention I provide structured walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting throughout: San Jose • Santa Clara • Willow Glen • Campbell My approach is calm, patient, and relationship-based. I focus on helping dogs feel safe, regulated, and understood — not overstimulated. ✅ Large and powerful breeds ✅ Sensitive or anxious dogs ✅ Working and high-drive dogs ✅ Puppies through senior dogs ✅ Comfortable handling strong leash pullers Professionally trained in canine behavior, I bring real structure and calm leadership to every visit — not just a leash and good intentions. If your dog struggles in daycare, on walks, or with overstimulation — this is exactly what I work with. I offer: • Decompression walks • Drop-in visits • In-home sitting Start with one visit. You'll see the difference. Let's schedule a meet & greet. 🐾 I am currently working from home, and I make my own schedule M-F. I am also available on the weekends with a very flexible schedule. I train dogs too! Ensuring safety, trust, and a home-like environment for your pet, following your instructions meticulously. Your pet's well-being and your home's security are my top priorities.

“Awesome service we’re very happy with the way everything went. Tiana was very communicative and sent us pictures. She took the dogs out for walks and fed them on time and gave them their medication and of course gave them all the lovin they needed while we were away. We were very happy with her service.”

“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 3 years old. I understand the love, care, and trust that pet owners invest in their animals, as well as the stress that can come with leaving them in someone else's care. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I leave the house for roughly 3 hours per day in order to take care of my personal fairs. I have no other obligations during my day other than attending to my horse (your dog is welcome to join me!!) for those 3 hours. I am always attentive and respectful in my clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and rules that help keep them safe and comfortable, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. Want your pet on the sofa? Great—they can relax on their favorite cushion. Prefer that they stay out of the kitchen? No problem. I'll work with you to maintain the boundaries and routines your pet is accustomed to. My goal is to provide consistent care that keeps your pet happy and gives you peace of mind while you're away.

“Songjingyun is an amazing pet sitter! She has already watched my puppy for two days, and my puppy is only 9 weeks old, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important to me. She provided exceptional care and attention, and my puppy was genuinely excited to see her the second time — which says a lot. She handled puppy biting thoughtfully, helped reinforce new commands, and was incredibly patient. She also kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She never minded the messes that come with caring for a young puppy, and at the end of each day she gave me a detailed update on everything — including activities, behavior, and even any small changes she noticed in my puppy’s health. As a first-time puppy parent, I was very nervous about using a dog sitter, but Songjingyun made this experience absolutely wonderful and stress-free. I would 100% trust her with my puppy again and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive. Thank you so much, Songjingyun!”

“I truly can’t say enough good things about Jaime! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly communicative — sending thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The biggest testament to her care? I came home to a happy, relaxed fur child who genuinely seemed like they hadn’t even noticed I was gone. That tells me everything I need to know about how loved and comfortable my child felt in her care. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but she made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter — and I would love to use her again anytime I need support. So grateful to have found her!”

“Amazing 2 weeks house, dog and cat sitting by Rachel. Incredibly communicative, sends LOTS of photos, and really understands how important her job is to care our babies and home. Exceptional care of everything and handled any and all unexpected circumstances with grace and grit. Would 100% recommend and use again!”

Tina Y.

“Stephanie was amazing with our dog! She was great at communicating and felt extremely comfortable with leaving my dog in her hands! I will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!!”

“Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!”

“Sydney, was so respectful and communicative. We got great updates and had amazing peace of mind while we were away. Koopa got some great walks in and some great cuddles! Thank you!”
