About
I've been dog sitting, cat sitting, and doing all kinds of pet care for over twenty five 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 on Thumbtack

I want to give the highest recommendation for pet sitter/house sitter Jared Scott. Jared recently took care of my three senior pits and he did a great job. He was meticulous with their care and their medications and feedings. He spent lots of time with them and sent me updates and photos while I was away.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Dispensing medication • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Jared took care of our two dogs and our home for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. The dogs loved him and the house was well taken care of. Jared was meticulous in following care instructions and we had no anxiety despite a couple of minor doggie emergencies that he handled competently. No hesitation in recommending Jared’s services. We will definitely use them in the future.

Hi there, My name is Nikki, and I’m delighted to provide a reference for Jarred. Over the past two years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him multiple times. Last year, while my family and I were in Europe for almost a month, Jarred took care of our eight-year-old labradoodle, Murphy, and our cat, Coco. Jarred went above and beyond in caring for them—walking them, grooming them, and even watering our plants. He treated our home as if it were his own, and we were so grateful for his dedication. I even have an adorable video of him chatting with Murphy! I wholeheartedly recommend Jarred, and I’ll definitely reach out to him again if he’s available. Thank you! Best regards, N. Acosta

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! 🐾🌟
