Our love for animals and passion for serving others inspired us to create Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting. Founded in 2020 during the pandemic, our mission has always been to provide loving, reliable pet care for the San Jose community. Unlike large daycare corporations, we focus on a smaller group of pets, ensuring that each furry guest receives personalized attention, affection, and plenty of playtime in our spacious backyard. At Lucky Buddies, we believe that pets thrive in a nurturing and home-like environment. Our dedicated team of caregivers treats every pet as part of our family, prioritizing their comfort, happiness, and well-being.

​Lucky, our beloved pup, is the heart and soul of Lucky Buddies. After becoming paralyzed in his two rear legs, he inspired us to build a business that embraces all pets, including those with special needs. When Yesica had to return home from a study abroad program and leave her previous job during the pandemic, she realized her true calling—creating a space where pets could receive the love and care they deserve. Over the years, we have helped many dogs overcome anxiety and provided a welcoming space for pets with disabilities.
