Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Willow Glen

“Ariana did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max. She was responsible, caring, spent lots of time playing with him, and made sure he was always well looked after. I’m very grateful for her help. If you’re looking for someone reliable and who truly loves dogs, she’s the one to pick.”

“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”

About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.

“Judi was amazing with our two fur babies. She gave frequent updates and photos and treated them with the same love she would have her own. Thank you, Judi!”

“Terry has been a great addition to Diego’s life. He’s a senior dog, cranky at times, charming at others. He needs a firm, but kind and understanding handler and Terry is exactly what he needs. Our ongoing arrangement is working very well.”

“Rachel was a huge help when we needed to go on a trip and leave our cat at home. Our little geriatric furball is 18 years old and needs special treatment and medication. Rachel was already experienced in piling cats and handled it perfectly. She was reliable, communicative, and very caring. We hope not to need to leave her home again but would definitely book Rachel again if we ever need to.”

“Danyel was great with our cats. One has asthma and gets an inhaler and she did perfectly. She was on time and communicated well.”

“Rachel helped us out with a last-minute booking to check in our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. This was our first time working with Rachel, and we so appreciated how quickly she understood and jumped into this new environment with new clients and new pets. Rachel was very quick to respond via Rover, responsible, and gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands. Thanks again!”

“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”

Rick G.

“She took great care of our pups! When she met them they warmed up to her really quickly which is a great sign! When we met her we knew instantly that it was a good match. She communicated very well and we were very comfortable leaving our babies is her hands. I highly recommend you book her!!!!! We are already planning our next booking!”

Nicole R.

“TR was fantastic with Nico. Always prompt to respond, gives a very comforting amount of detail in her visit descriptions, and takes very cute pictures of Nico. It was very obvious Nico had a great time with her and was taken very good care of. Thanks TR!”

About: 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 I trained with Cesar Millan and bring relationship-based handling, structure, and calm leadership to every visit. 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 and see if I’m a good fit for your dog. 🐾 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.

“Ashley was great! She took fantastic care of my 4 cats and they were all happy and content when I got back. Thank you for helping me out over a holiday!”

About: Hi! I’m a De Anza College nursing student and a lifelong dog and animal lover. I’m reliable, routine-focused, and confident caring for a wide range of dogs, including high-energy pups and dogs who need calmer, structured walks. I gained hands-on experience caring for a sweet but reactive Golden Retriever while working as an au pair in Germany, so I’m very attentive to leash safety, triggers, and keeping walks smooth and safe. I’m also raising my own Golden Retriever puppy, Sunny, so I’m comfortable managing energetic dogs and staying consistent with routines. I’m detail-oriented, happy to follow your instructions closely, and I can give oral medications if needed. I’m also gentle with senior dogs who need a slower pace. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and calm, consistent care. Pet care fits into my weekly routine. I plan my class/study schedule around my Rover bookings so I can be consistent and on time. On weekdays, I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening visits/walks (my calendar reflects my exact availability). I prioritize routine, so once we agree on times, I stick to them. I also build in flexibility for longer walks, extra potty breaks, and unexpected needs, and I communicate early if anything changes. Trust and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet like my own. In a client’s home: • I will make sure to follow your routine (feeding, potty breaks, walk style, and house rules). • I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes/harnesses before leaving. • Walks are calm and controlled: I avoid risky situations, keep safe distance from triggers, and don’t allow off-leash time unless you’ve explicitly approved a secure area. (I never take pets to dog parks unless the owner requests it and we’ve discussed it in advance.) • I keep your home tidy and secure (lights/locks, wiping paws if needed, quick cleanup after meals). In my home (if boarding/daycare): • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. • I separate pets during meals/treats to prevent resource guarding. • I use positive reinforcement and respect each pet’s comfort level. • I can accommodate crate routines if your pet is crate-trained. Communication: • You’ll get photo/video updates and a short note each visit. • If anything unusual happens (vomiting, injury, appetite changes, behavior shifts), I contact you right away and follow your instructions. • I’m comfortable giving oral medications and caring for seniors who need a gentler pace. I would also prefer a Meet & Greet so I can learn your pet’s routine and make sure we’re a great match.

“Chang was amazing with Arlo! She took such good care of him and sent the cutest photos during their walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was prompt, communicative, and super easy to work with. I’d definitely book her again!”

“Sarah was amazing! She took great care of my two cats while I was away—very reliable, attentive, and communicative. Loved the photo updates! Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I love dogs, I grew up with two and have also helped sit for my sister and best friend’s dogs for the past 3 years. I am a reliable person to help care for your pet. I am currently a full-time student at CSU Monterey. I live in San Jose and commute for classes. I will be able to give your dog walks and lots of attention before/after leaving for class and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your pet in your neighborhood if that is comfortable for you. Or I can bring toys for them and keep them in your home. Either way my goal is to make sure that you’re pet is given attention and an outlet for exercise.

“Great cat sitters! I felt so much comfort knowing my cats would be in good hands with Kalyn and Jorge :) cannot recommend them enough!!”

About: Hello! My name is Heather and I am available to walk dogs during the day, and take care of dogs and/or cats and other pets for weekends or extended periods. I am available to be home with your pets during the day when I look after them, and I will make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’ve taken care of dogs for six years, and I will send pictures and updates while you’re away. I have experience giving dogs medicine and am happy to work with any special needs your loved one might have. Let me know how I can help. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family! Thank you! I am currently unemployed and would love for taking care of animals to be a full-time job. I find myself busier on weekends when my partner is free, but I am flexible! I have a fenced yard, a lovely neighborhood to walk around, and a car for picking up and dropping off. I am also very happy to take them on their usual route around your place, or to find new parks or new places to sniff.

About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 14. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, and even my neighbors furry companions! I have experience taking care of Senior dogs as well as dogs that have more special needs. I am a confident caretaker and hope to be trusted to take care of your fur babies and provide them with as much comfort as possible! I’m currently working full time at a doggie daycare in San Jose so I get to work with dogs all the time. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to help out and look after your furry friends as well! I’m very flexible and i’ll make sure to make the time to give your pet the attention and care that they need. :) I love to get your pup out in the sun to get some fresh air and exercise. Nothing more healing than the sun! Nearby parks or specific routes that they enjoy ensures that they are comfortable while you are away. I always make sure to play with them so they can get some energy out while having the fun they need. Although a pup will soon get tired and so while they nap I of course give them the much needed rest and space.
