Where demand is strongest

San Jose areas that book the most

Petme bookings in San Jose come from neighborhoods like Willow Glen, Rose Garden, Japantown, across walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. Tech-employee travel makes Tuesday-to-Thursday boarding unusually strong all year, with extra spikes around the big conference clusters (Google I/O in May, WWDC in June, re:Invent in late November) plus summer, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays. International trips mean longer one-to-two-week stays.
