Introduction: I've been dog sitting, cat sitting, and doing all kinds of pet care for over twenty years. I have a strong bond with animals, and am familiar with most breeds of dogs. I've taken care of hundreds of dogs in my petsitting career. I also adore cats and am always willing to pamper kitties, too. I work with a cat rescue, and have saved countless stray cats, kittens, and "feral" felines. I have excellent references and am able to travel outside of San Jose. By hiring me, you only have to deal with one person, and not a 3rd party. My petsitting is for overnight care only. However, sometimes I do drop ins if needed. As mentioned, I have excellent references and a steady client base. My rates are fair and I truly believe pet care is the same as child care. I'm reliable, trustworthy, punctual, and passionate about helping animals in every way possible. I've been active on Thumbtack for nine years, and have built excellent relationships with both humans and their beloved pets! This is what makes me stand out from my competition. Please read my reviews, too.

Hired Jared for the first time during an emergency (on Christmas Day), and he was a lifesaver. He stayed up all night looking after my dog, even handled those tricky eye drops like a pro. Super grateful for his timely help! His past references spoke highly of him. He is trustworthy and will definitely hire him for future pet sitting gigs. Thanks a bunch, Jared! 🐾🌟

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Providing companionship • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once in total • My home, venue, etc.

Jared took great care of our two puppies and our house! Before the actual stay, he came by another time to really get to know us and our dogs. He was easy to contact and sent regular updates and pics of our dogs. He even framed a picture of them and left it for us. How thoughtful. Thanks, Jared, for taking such good care of our fur- babies and house!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Dispensing medication • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Taking pet outside • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • I'm flexible • My home, venue, etc.

Jared was amazing with our Claire and Jett (Chuhuahuas) We have never seen our old lady Claire to be so friendly with anybody. But with Jared shes all belly rub and no bark at all. He had sent us update photos the entire time we are gone. The house looks like he has never touched anything. He is now family and we highly recommend Jared to take care of anybody's precious fur babies. Thank you Jared for your gift and framed photos of Claire and Jett. That was such a sweet sweet gesture. Hopefully he can pencil us in for our next trip.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Three times a day • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I was a little nervous about having someone i didn’t know personally come into my house to care for my dogs while i was away, but as soon as i met Jared i was put at ease. He was great with my little elderly dogs. They aren’t good with new people but he was patient and caring. Super responsive and i definitely appreciated his check-ins and updates throughout our trip. He went above and beyond when i got a delivery i wasn’t expecting, and helped unpack and put away the items that needed to be refrigerated. I have no hesitation in highly recommending him for pet sitting and definitely plan to hire him again in the future!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.
