“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 is awesome. I had my dog Colby stay with her for a weekend. Nancy and her family treated us like family and went completely above and beyond. She is absolutely sweet but also incredibly professional. 100% recommend. Colby is going to stay with her again soon.”

“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?”

“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.”

“Carolina is the perfect person to take care of their dog or cat because of their unwavering dedication to their pet's happiness and health. Their extensive knowledge of animal care, consistent routines, and affectionate nature make them the ideal caregiver. They've proven time and again that their pet's well-being is their top priority.”

“Nicole is amazing!! I hesitated to write my honest review because she was so great I don’t want everyone else to fill up her schedule and then I can’t rebook with her when I’m out of town again! I love how active Nicole is and takes my high energy pup on lots of walks and adventures (and supplies me with great photos too! ) She is a great communicator and my dog Krauss loved his stay with her and Zack! Already planning Krauss’s next stay with her!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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”

“Jenna and her family are great pet caretakers. My 8 month old dog seemed really at home. Interactions were very responsive, polite and perfect for our needs. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks again Jenna!”

“My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Kevin is a wonderful dog sitter! He is communicative and flexible. Olive had a wonderful time and we were confident she was in good hands. She is an older dog with some arthritis issues, which Kevin was fine about managing. We recommend him without reservation, he's the tops.”

“Ines is a fantastic pet caregiver! Her responsible and loving nature shines through in every interaction with animals. She ensures they're well-fed, hydrated, and entertained with playtime and walks. I trust her completely with my doggie Maggie, she adores her! Highly recommend Ines for top-notch pet care.”

“Camille and David were great! They went above and beyond with Peaches, took her on multiple walks, and showed her lots of love. They clearly love animals. Will be definitely booking with them again!”

“Yu provided excellent care for our Berner Theo. It was our dog's first "sleepover" and we received lots of updates and pictures from Yu. When I arrived to pick Theo up... she didn't want to leave! Thank you Yu for taking such great care of Theo”

“Yingen was wonderful and very loving , patient and took excellent care of my fur baby, and frequently updates some photos showing all the fun they had along. We will definitely book Yingen again ! I highly recommend Yingen to care for your fur babies.”

“Ed was very amenable to Skye's needs while she was boarded. She is a sensitive girl and I appreciate the extra love. It's so great she has his yard to chill in and Blue to keep 4-legged company (though she prefers to be the center of attention- hah). Also bonus that Ed works from home- so doggos are not spending all day waiting for their humans. Thanks Ed!”

“Marina took good care of our pup overnight. He had a great time and fun on their walks and beach adventures. We appreciated the fun pics and videos :) Happy to have Marina watch our dog anytime. Thanks!”

“Judith was an amazing sitter for Otto! He stayed for the weekend and I felt very comfortable in knowing that Judith was taking care of him as an elderly dog. He was pampered and happy!”

About: Since I was 10, I've been looking after pets, including those with special needs like amputees and medication needs. With my own beloved 10-year-old dog, I understand the value of love and care. I'm here to ensure every pet feels cherished and happy, just like my furry friend at home I have a very flexible schedule as a small business owner in Santa Cruz. I have my 4 year old 50% of the time who also loves and adores dogs as much as I do :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and I live two blocks from Leo’s dog park. My 10 year old puggle, Bagel is very friendly and not aggressive in any way. I like to bring him along with me if possible, to have a friend for your pup as well but he also has his own care taker if your dog does not do well with other dogs.
