Pet Sitting Aptos

“Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3”

“Marissa went above and beyond for my dog. He had an upset stomach for several of the days she dropped in on him and she handled everything with grace. I highly recommend her as a rover.”

“Naomi is wonderful! If you need someone who is kind, reliable, and truly there for your pet, look no further. Highly recommend her and am so glad she’s in the area!!”

“Marley looked after our cats during an extended vacation and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and being checked on regularly by someone we trust.”

Amy S.

“Gabriele took great care of our three dogs (and home) while we were away for the weekend! We received lots of photos and updates and it was fun to see the dogs enjoying themselves while we were gone. Very sweet. Would have Gabriele back anytime!”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Yu (yes, pronounced exactly like "You"!). Originally from Japan, I bring that classic Japanese dedication and hard-working spirit to everything I do—especially when it comes to dog care! Dogs are my absolute passion, and my heart completely melts whenever I'm around them. I don't own a dog of my own right now, but I live with a sweet housemate who has a friendly dog. This means our home is already set up perfectly for a pup, and your dog will have a furry friend to hang out with if they like company! I am so excited to be a dedicated temporary "mommy" (or cool auntie!) for your dog and treat them like royalty. What I promise: • Constant supervision and a safe, secure environment. • Lots of playtime, walks, and tailored care based on your dog's routine. • Regular photo/video updates so you can have total peace of mind. Looking forward to meeting your sweet pup soon! 🎁 Save $20 on your first booking! Use code YUR04253 or visit: https://www.rover.com/sit/yur04253 i'm currently not working. so i have plenty of time to play with your pups! my partner can look after your pups while i'm away too. our routine is : in the morning(7am) and evening(6pm) we walk for 15-20min, during the day(11am-2pm) for 1-2h, and before bed quick potty break(10pm). we can easily adjust time schedule for your dogs. when we go out we take your doggies as many as possible, so more than 4times a day is guarantee. i can board them pretty much any days. ＊your doggies must be ok with being alone max for3h sometimes when we can't take them out with us. if your dog bark or whine more than necessary, our town house is not good fit for them. (it's more for quiet neighbors) our place is in a town house, has a dog field across street. we love cuddling and sleeping together:) if your dogs need own space, we respect that too. We accept more than 2 dogs at same time.

About: Hello! I am a 26 year old grad student attending Santa Clara University pursuing a counseling degree. I have grown up with dogs and currently co-parent a 3 year old pit mix, Levi! I have had extensive experience caring for various breeds, from big (Dobermans, pits, labs) to small (Jack russels, Shiba Inus, etc.)! I am experienced with senior dog care and young puppy care. I am open to getting to know your pups schedule, taking them on walks, and providing longer term care for vacations. I am excited to meet you and your pup! I currently work part time from 10am-6pm Wednesdays through Fridays. I am available anytime Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and mornings/late evenings Wednesdays through Fridays! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am experienced with maintaining safety on walks and during overnight stays.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and family members’ pets since I was little, and been a reliable and trustworthy caretaker. I have been caring for dogs for five years, including elderly, deaf, and blind dogs. I understand the nuance to earning trust of shy or elderly pets. I have always loved animals and I have repeat clients that find me reliable and loved by their pets. My schedule is very open right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention and love they deserve. I have pets of my own at my home where I live with my parents, so I will care for your pets in your home, either staying at the house or doing drop-ins. I am clean and respectful and I love spending time with animals, respecting and getting to know them on their terms.

“Nora is a GIFT! About a year ago my now 14 year-old cat Riley abruptly lost a significant amount of weight and bloodwork showed some kind of significant liver event though nothing was evident in an XRAY or ultrasound. He was prescribed two ongoing medications to support his liver & reduce inflammation; a small pill that needs to absorb during a fast (no food for 2 hours before and 1 hour after) and a liquid medication that needs to be given with food. In addition to the with/without food medications complexity, successfully pilling a cat every day requires a deft hand—pretty straightforward for someone who’s good at it, increasingly difficult each day for anyone who isn’t. Add to the equation both Riley and his brother Ash are initially shy with strangers. All things considered to me the situation seemed like a complicated ask for a pet sitter, so over the past year I hadn’t gone away on any trips longer than 2-3 days. In the face of a terminal illness diagnosis in my direct family I came to terms with having to hope for the best using a pet sitter for an 8 day family vacation though I was very concerned about how Riley would be affected by the extended change in routine. Enter Nora; highly intelligent, highly *attuned* (to the pets & the people), instantly trustworthy, and very gracious, a rare combination of total professionalism & grounded compassion. Though Nora was only here for about an hour each day her presence *visibly improved* Riley’s health. I didn’t know it was possible to come home from being away for 8 days to find Riley noticeably fluffier and more energetic than when I left, but that’s the magic that unfolded under Nora’s care. She also sent me pictures of Riley and Ash every day and let me know how they were each doing, sharing her sophisticated curiosity & creativity getting Riley to eat more and Ash to gradually come out of his shyness with clear warmth towards both of them. It’s extremely clear Nora *truly cares* and is keenly observant and exceptionally competent, a combination that made it possible for me to relax so much more on my trip. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank YOU so much Nora. TBC 💗🐈🐈‍⬛🧘‍♀️”

About: I’m a proud owner of a crazy dog and a wannabe independent cat, and I’ve been pet sitting for most of my neighbors, taking their dogs on walks, and making sure all of their animals are fed and have had some time to play! I love all animals and I can handle anything from the most energetic puppy to a grumpy cat. I’m something of a pet whisperer I’m currently in highschool, so my scheduling for the next couple months is Monday-Thursday after 1:45pm, Fridays after 12:15, Saturdays after 3:15, and anytime Sunday I can stop by once a day or multiple times a day depending on what is desired in order to feed, check on water, take on walks, or just to get some play time in. Also super down to just keep your pets company for a while, because I know some of them miss their people.

“We’ve had Melanie stop by for drop in visits several times now. She is easy/quick to communicate with and sends lots of detailed notes and pics. She always takes great care of our pets while we’re gone!”

Chelsea J.

“Tarah was fantastic! She did 4 drop-ins a day with our 2 dogs and always sent updates and photos. Our Whippet/Husky mix can be quite a rascal, but Tarah handled her energy very calmly. Very friendly and reliable.”

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life. I often housesit or walk others animals. I even trained a future service dog for Canine Companion’s. I love to get to meet new dogs. I work part-time as a caregiver, and I’m taking online pre-nursing classes. So my schedule is flexible I have lots of time take care of animals. I do have one dog. She is very friendly, I will not bring her when I come to care for your pets, unless previously discussed. I am very respectful, and honor your wishes.

“Wonderful care, as always! Tula is an old lady now, but AnnMarie is so sweet and attentive to her needs. She always goes above and beyond to make sure our kitty is comfortable and safe, and our house is always well-cared for. We so appreciate the job well done!!”

Brooke K.

“Jonathan was super nice + friendly! He was comfortable with our dogs instantly and also took the best pictures of our dogs during his drop in! Will definitely be rebooking!”

Katie C.

“Callie was so great with our dog Ansel! Despite not having met Callie before, Ansel was pleased to get pets and scratches and spend some time with her in the yard. She was very responsive to on the app, and prompt, and made it so easy on us to leave him for the day. We look forward to having Callie help us again!”

About: I have over 15 years experience working in the veterinary field and have always owned a dog . Dogs are a special part of our lives ! I currently have a flexible job that enables me to also do petsitting on the side . Evenings are usually open for dog walks and play time! I have a large fenced backyard with lounge chairs , and a trampoline that our dogs love going on . It’s a safe environment .

“We were nervous about leaving our two cats alone for the first time! Taylor is such a lovely person and you can tell that she really cares about the animals. One of our cats was really scared when Taylor came to meet them (they normally are not around other people), but Taylor won Gigi over on the second day of the drop in visit! She took pics and it was great to get the report saying how they were doing. We will definitely book her again when we travel!”

About: Hello there! My name is Cath and my partner Brian and I live in Aptos,. I truly love taking care of all kinds of animals, I have had dogs and cats all my life and I am attuned to their needs and varying personalities. I have 5 years professional pet sitting experience and I been a dog mom to large dogs for 10+ years. Brian has been a dog parent to large dogs for 30 years. We are always the person that my friends, co-workers and neighbors come to when their dogs or cats need care. We both love spending time outside in nature, hiking, and keeping an active lifestyle your pet will enjoy. We do not own any pets, so we are always looking forward to having new companions to welcome into our home. We love to take dogs outside to explore nature, play a game of fetch, beach romps, and redwoods hikes. We are experienced with dogs from puppies to elders, especially with senior dogs. We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! We are available for long weekends and most holidays. Our guest dogs stay, nap and play in an open environment. We want to know what would make a fun and happy stay for your dog. We live in the fog belt along the coast so it stays nice and cool here when its hot everywhere else. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: We to keep your dogs patterns as close to the way they are at home as possible. If your dog sleeps in their own bed or crate we will honor that. Typically their bed is in our room or the living room. We allow dogs on our bed, and have a dedicated dog couch so they can relax in the living room and are treated like a member of the family. My partner Brian’s schedule has recently changed so we can only board weekends, or possibly over a long weekend: We can take a Friday evening drop off at 5pm earliest, and can schedule a Monday morning pickup until 10 am or so. We live in a quiet, low-traffic beach neighborhood of Aptos, with a front and back fenced in yard, a two minute walk to a dog friendly beach, and 5 minute drive to a redwoods state park. The backyard is shared with my awesome neighbor who own a dog. The backyard has a fence that is split down the middle, and he is kept on his side of the fence. He is only let outside occasionally, under supervised conditions. We do not allow guests dogs into the backyard when he is present, until we have had time to properly introduce them. He is friendly, but we always take care to introduce dogs. Our front yard has a low fence so our guest dogs are only allowed in the front yard under supervision, the backyard has a much higher fence, and we have a sliding glass door so they can go outside easily. We can crate your dog if needed. Both yards have shade, flower gardens, and are wonderful places to take a nap in the sun.
