“Sarah was so reliable and responsive to ours and Twiggs’ needs. She gave us updates and feedback and seemed to really get along with Twiggs. I look forward to having Sarah come back and take care of Twiggs the next time we go away! Thanks for the photos too!”

“Yerim took great care of our cat during a long trip we had and precisely followed all the notes we left her. She even took care of a few plants we had as well. We are glad to be back home, but we are also looking forward to the next time she can provide wonderful care for our cat again!”

“I had such a wonderful experience with booking Zoe to care for my golden retriever puppy, Arthur. Zoe was responsive and available even last minute, sent lots of updates and photos on his report card and I truly felt like he was in the best care. Will definitely be booking Zoe for future visits!”

About: I have a lot of experience watching all types of animals all ages and sizes and will treat every single animal like they are my own animal! I currently only have classes on mondays for half of the day and the rest of the time i am free to care and watch your animals! I will treat your home and animals with the same respect i would at my own house with my own animals because i know it can be nerve racking to have someone new in your house with your babies

“Alessandra did wonderfully with my cats, even my more anxious cat. I appreciated the little updates on how my cats were acting when she visited them!”

“Cabe was a great sitter for our elder cat who needs medicine. He asked great questions and took notes during our meet and greet. Our cat Serling warmed up to him quickly. Cabe's daily recaps were wonderful to read when we missed our kitty so much. Serling was clearly well taken care of when we were gone.😻”

“Fabi is kind and patient with my reactive and scared dogs. It is hard to find a sitter for my dogs because they are not “fun” and need a lot of patience. Fabi accepted the challenge and did a great job with them on her first go. I am booking her weekly.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had such a big heart for them! Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs overnight and for weeks at a time. I also have a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and am currently pursuing a career in nursing, so caring for others has always been something I’m passionate about! I believe every animal deserves to be treated with love, patience, and respect. I’ll always treat your furry babies like my own while making sure to follow your preferences and routines! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time and attend college online, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I have several days off throughout the week and would love to spend some of that free time caring for your furry friends! I’ll always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever I can! Your furry babies will always be treated with lots of love and care! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and get all the attention they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or crating if needed. I know how important pets are to their families, so I’ll always treat yours like my own!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats and more, including two years at an animal clinic where I administered medications, handled feeding, cleaning, and made sure pets felt safe and comfortable. I’ve also worked as a dog pack walker, managed group walks, and provided pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I understand animal behavior and take a calm, attentive approach—caring for pets isn’t just what I do, it’s my passion, and I treat every animal like my own. I am working full time, but available in the evenings or for walks and on the weekends I can do check ins and walks! I’m more than happy to take your baby on a short or a looong walk. In your home, I provide respectful, compassionate care while honoring your space and privacy. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free, and I treat your home with the same care and professionalism as I do your pets. I’m clean, reliable, and attentive, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away.

Your home’s security and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities.  • Strictly follow feeding, fresh water, medication, and cleanup routines.  • Always double-check exterior doors, gates, and locks before leaving.  • Practice attentive outdoor safety: short leashes, checking pavement temperature, and steering clear of unfamiliar off-leash dogs.  • Every visit ends with a visual safety check, followed by detailed notes and photos for your peace of mind.

About: I have been responsible for pet care since I was a child, I grew up in a house with 3+ dogs at any given time. I was taught to treat animals with the kindness and respect that you would a human being! I adopted my current dog 2 years ago! I am a student at Cal State Fullerton currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your cats and dogs! I have always been a very cautious and cleanly person, and leaving your home and your pet better than how I found it it my top priority! I have no trouble cleaning up after animals and it’s important to me that I treat your pet and your home with respect.

“Sharron was wonderful! She arrived on time, sent a picture upon arrival, communicated well before and after. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her visit again”

About: From small, shy cats to big, boisterous dawgs, I provide detail-oriented, specialized care by applying my former experience as a data scientist and my boundless stamina gained from my hobbies in various martial arts and combat sports. I have experiences working in both dog-specific and cat-specific boarding facilities. I have also administered care to cats including oral(pill, syringe) and ear medication as well as inhalers. I've have a love for dogs since childhood and learned to love cats as well, through helping an extra spicy cat grow into a cuddly, purr-filled one. I'm available for Drop-in Visits on Saturday from 9am-11pm. Wednesday availability is 9am-5pm. Friday availability is 1pm-11pm. Please reach out for any questions! The safety of your pet is my priority! Awareness and avoidance(as needed) of other people or dogs on walks, clearing and watching out for certain foods, plants, materials etc. that are unsafe for consumption, double and triple checking locks and that doors are properly closed, especially on entry and exit. My first mission with your pet will be to ensure safety and build trust so that they know that I am their temporary caregiver and permanent friend!

About: Hi! My name is Nikki, I just graduated from UCSC with a B.S. in Neuroscience and a B.A. in Psychology and am now training as an EMT. I have a 3 year old cat named Mr. Whiskers that I adopted during my time in Santa Cruz and quite a few family pets - a 13 year old standard poodle, a 13 year old yorkie-poo, a 5 year old miniature labradoodle, and a 1 year old cat (along with a tortoise and some other exotic pets!). I have always loved dog-sitting for my neighbors, with breeds including german shepherds, golden retrievers, labs, doodles, jack russel's, and other mixed breeds. I'd been consistently dog-sitting for 4 years until I took a break being in Santa Cruz, since my client base is in Socal, but had committed myself to caring for my own cat and my friend's pets when they are out of town. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will dedicate just as much love and care as I do my own! Additionally, my cat has unfortunately had to deal with some urinary issues causing him to be on a permanent urinary prescription diet and having to take meds during his flare-ups. Because of this, I completely understand the struggles of caring for a loved pet with health issues. It has allowed me to be very comfortable with administering both pill and liquid forms of medication to pets and punctual with needed times of administration. I would love to take care of your fur babies for enrichment, feeding, playing, and anything you already do with them that helps them feel happy and comfortable! I am currently training as an EMT and doing a part time internship but have time before and after both of these to spend time with your pets! I am super flexible with the environment that I am in to care for your pets and want them to feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are gone. I have no problem following very specific routines for your pet's needs!

About: I had my own dog for almost 16 years and I have pet sat for quite a few friends and their families. I have given medication, fed them, walked them, bathed them and given them lots of love! I am always available to take care of your furry friends! This type of work makes me so happy and there’s nothing better than being around cats and dogs all day. Thanks in advance for trusting me with your fur babies! Our backyard is enclosed. We have a pool and a mini lawn as well. There are many trails around our house that are great for walking

“Monica is a great sitter and animal lover, she's good at following instructions and was great with my kitties while I was away. Tallulah responded well to Monica and enjoyed her visits, Precious is always shy, but eventually got used to her visits. Communication was mostly great, but could be improved. I arranged an emergency sitter for one visit due to a lack of communication/slow response. Overall, Monica was a reliable sitter and the cats would be happy to see her again. I would recommend Monica and would hire her again, so long as she's clear about availability and visiting times.”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around animals and have continued caring for pets through house sitting, pet sitting, and travel throughout the years. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, multiple-pet households, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I’ve cared for everything from energetic dogs that love long walks and playtime to older pets that need a calmer pace and extra attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep things as familiar as possible while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, respectful of your home, and happy to provide photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available throughout the week for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine and plan my schedule around their individual needs. I take safety seriously and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, crate instructions, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety concerns are handled carefully. When staying in a client’s home, I also treat the home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away.

About: Growing up in a large family full of dogs, I learned to care for every size, age, and temperament. One of my first jobs was pet sitting for my aunt while she was out of town. She didn't need to pay me because I would have gladly watched her rottweiler puppy for free, but I found it incredibly rewarding to potty train and teach him tricks over the weekend. I couldn't believe I got paid to pay with a puppy! From then on, I took every opportunity as a kid and teenager to watch my friends' and family's pets. Only having a young pitbull at home, being able to take care of elderly or little dogs was a great learning experience. This gave me the skill set to train puppies, provide senior care such as mobility and bathroom assistance, and care for sick pets or pets with chronic health conditions. This experience has made me a well-rounded animal caretaker and cat dad. With my remote job, I am home full time and have the time and yard space to provide pet care services and boarding. My schedule is very flexible and I am available everyday. I have a fenced patio and two dog-friendly cats who stick to themselves and have their own space on the cat shelves. As long as your dog is cat friendly, I think they would get along great with a new canine friend in the house. Your fur baby's safety is of utmost importance, so I will follow any rules or preferences for your pet, such as leashing them outside, crating them, or even letting them cuddle on the couch! In your home, I will do the same and follow your house and pet parenting rules :)

“Aurora was great! Super communicative and we feel very confident with the care our littles received :)”
