Dog Boarding in Santa Cruz

“Ariana is wonderful! She took care of my pup Luna for a long weekend and it felt so good to know Luna was in good care! She is a great communicator and sent lots of pics and updates. Arianas home is well set up with a large gated outdoor space. Luna loved her right away upon meeting her, which was great to see. I definitely hope to have Ariana sit Luna again in the future and highly recommend her to others looking for loving, responsible care for their pets.”

“Nancy and the family were fantastic! She sent a lot of pictures and take good care of my Max! She was very thoughtful and flexible with pick up time. I will definitely use her again.”

“Really happy with the daycare & overnight care my older, 15 lb dog received. Denise is great, my dog looked happy hanging out with her, plus she has veterinary experience, and we also like Jerry, Denise's husband. I received pics/video throughout the stay. I like that they limit the # of dogs in their care because my dog gets stressed when there are too many dogs. And they have a small dog named Quarky, so there's a canine buddy. At Quarky's my dog has the choice of indoor/ outdoor time but he LOVES being outside this time of year, and Denise provides a tall fenced yard, comfortable furniture, companionship, sun and shade. Who could ask for more?”

“Desiree was awesome! Due to some poor planning on our part, we ended up needing a last minute puppy sitter on our way to Santa Cruz. Desiree was very sweet and welcoming, she agreed to let us meet her before leaving our pup with her, made sure our puppy was comfortable and we felt good about leaving her there. Desiree shared updates frequently and went above and beyond for our puppy, next time we go to Santa Cruz we won’t hesitate to book with Desiree again”

“It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with someone else but us, so we were a bit nervous. Helen sent us pictures of her and Senna going on hikes, which he super enjoyed. Communication was really good and we loved the updates we received from her! Thanks, again, Helen!”

“Chewie had the BEST time with Nicole. Not only did she take him on a whole day adventure, she shared the sweetest pics of him with updates throughout the day. I would 110% book with Nicole again. Chewie came home exhausted and honestly he seemed a little bummed out that his play date sleepover was done ? Thank you Nicole!”

“Let me start off by saying my Callie is a special dog, with special needs, Judith took such great care of Callie, exceeded my expectations with 5 days of one on one attention and treated Callie as her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Callie was in her care and loved the amazing photos and videos that kept me feeling connected and assured. Thank you Judith for being a caring and nurturing friend to Callie. She has a friend for life. See you next visit! ~ Happy Tails!”

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Jordan, to Victoria a few weekends ago, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. She's not just a caretaker, she's a true companion to our furry friends. Her reliability is unmatched, and I honestly can't thank her enough. What sets her apart is the genuine love and concern she shows for every animal she encounters. it's evident that she treats them as if they were her own. I felt at peace knowing Jordan was in capable hands. I also appreciate how she sends updates throughout the day; sharing pictures and videos of Jordan throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you Victoria! Jordan's looking forward to the next visit.”

“Bethiah was great with our dogs! We received wonderful pictures of their adventures while she had them and they seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Would definitely recommend!”

“Sinead was great! This was our dog Monty's first time with daycare on Rover, so we were very curious about how he would do. Sinead sent us a couple videos throughout the day, and in each one he was relaxed and playing well with her dogs. Monty was completely tuckered out when he came home, happy as could be! Sinead was able to accommodate his quirks and made sure he was as comfortable as possible.”

About: We have had dogs all our lives and over the last two years of travel we’ve pet sat quite a lot! Our girls love all pets I (Tal) am a stay at home mom and my partner works from home. Our girls are with us as well. We lived in a bus for the past two years and traveled and just moved into a house here in Santa Cruz. We treat pets like our own- with lots of love and care. We are a very active couple so walking a pet is our favorite.

“LJ was great! She is a great communicator, sent me pictures of our fur babies and they were very comfortable and happy with her. She took them for walks and activities and was very flexible with modifications of plans at the last minute. Great experience with LJ!”

“Kelly was able to accommodate my dog at the very last minute when another dog sitter fell through. I was so extremely grateful and not only that but she took my dog for a walk (which a lot of Dog Sitter’s don’t do even though this damn app is so expensive). I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind. The next time I need someone to watch my dog (if she’s up for it).”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. In 4th grade I had my own business "Livys Dog Walking Company". I took care of all the neighborhoods dogs. I grew up with large and small dogs and am an all around dog lover. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have taken care of females in heat to senior dogs who need medications and muscle exercises. I am a college student at ERAU enrolled in the Army ROTC. I have a very open schedule with loads of free time. I typically have class Monday-Friday for 3-4 hours a day. I have plenty of time to give much love to your fur babies! My apartment has a fenced in park and walking trail that our fury friends love! I live on the first floor of an apartment so it will be easy to access for senior pups. I am willing to stay at clients home and stay with their animals and will be respectful of the clients home. When staying at a clients home I am more than willing to do chores in the house, including water plants, cleaning pools, etc!

“Tyler was an incredible sitter for my dog Cole. Communication was great throughout- from booking, the stay, pick up and drop off. I received regular updates and photos of how my dog was doing. Our dogs looked so similar, they were adorable together. Thank you Tyler for taking such good care of my pup! I would highly recommend her services for any future stays.”

“Carolina is undoubtedly the best choice to care for their beloved pet. Their genuine passion for animals, extensive experience in pet care, and a nurturing personality ensure a safe and loving environment. Their commitment to providing the best for their furry friend is unmatched, making them the perfect caregiver.”

“Andy dog + kitty sat for me and my wife when we took a trip out of state for a wedding. We felt so comfortable leaving our two best friends in Andy's care and she made sure to keep us updated throughout our trip. Andy is a pretty active gal so we were confident that our super high energy dog was going to get lots of exercise with her. Tons of fetch, walks, and playtime. And as for our kitty, Jack - we know Andy has a very special connection with cats so we weren't worried about Jack getting anxious without us there like he has in the past. We highly recommend Andy to walk or look after your best buds when needed!”

“Jenna and family were great with our dogs! This was our second time leaving them and they both were happy and tired coming home after their stay! The children all pitch in to help with dog care and are clearly dog lovers! Will book again!”

“Great sitter, communicative, and kind. Thanks!”

“Gianna did a fantastic job when she watched my dog Leo, for 16 nights. She took him on walks, to the beach, and played with him regularly. My dog got along well with hers, and they had a great time together. I was impressed by how considerate Gianna was about my dog's fear of the 4th of July fireworks. She provided him comfort and gave him his medication, making him feel safe during the challenging time. Gianna was also responsive and shared adorable photos whenever I checked in, reassuring me that my furry friend was in good hands. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my dog's happiness and well-being during his stay. It was wonderful to know he was basically on his own doggy vacation while we were on ours. :) Thank you so much Gianna!”
