About: My husband and I love dogs.... when our beloved Yorkie died a few years ago and we retired early from city government, we decided to focus our love on caring for other people's dogs in their homes. We now have several on-going sit relationships in central California and are happy to have so many dogs in our lives that feel like grand babies to us! If you're interested in establishing an on-going relationship with us, to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible when you have to leave town, hit us up! Our preference is to work with 1 or 2 older/more relaxed dogs, that can be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. We lean towards being home bodies, but we enjoy going on walks/outtings, having play time and lots of snuggles. If we seem like a simpatico match to care for your pup, please reach out for our availability! We have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs/timing with plenty of notice. We enjoy exploring new areas and are happy to have your dogs show us all their favorite spots to hang out! Rather than upend your dog's routine on top of you being out of town, we will come to you! We are willing/able to handle any morning/evening routines (food/water, oral meds, walks, potty needs) and your dog can sleep with us if so inclined.

About: I've owned dogs since childhood, often multiples at a time, and I've done dog sitting for friends and a few clients, so I'm comfortable with everything from mellow seniors to a livelier small pack. I know how to read dog body language and moods, which comes from decades of hands-on experience. I'm a former teacher with 20+ years working with kids and teens, and I now run my own coaching practice. That background makes me patient, attentive, and calm even when things get chaotic. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around it. On weekday mornings I usually head out for a short hike, so dogs get that outdoor time built right into the start of the day. Beyond that, they're checked on frequently and spend time with me throughout the day; whether I'm at my desk or tending the garden. Evenings and weekends tend to be even more hands-on, with more outside time and trail walks nearby if it's a good fit for the dog. Dogs in my care stay on our fully fenced 1+ acre property in the Santa Cruz Mountains (Bonny Doon), so there's plenty of secure space to roam and play without being near roads. We have our own friendly dog, plus two indoor/outdoor cats, so dogs need to be comfortable around other animals. Crating is available if that's part of your dog's routine or preferred by you. Just let me know and I'll set it up accordingly. I keep a close eye on food, water, and any specific routines or instructions owners share with me, and I'm comfortable handling medications or special needs if discussed in advance.

“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”

“Robin was amazing with Milo. She was able to take him in very short notice and she and her family treated him like their own. She was both communicative and flexible with this boarding. She sent me updates, videos and pics unprompted. We highly recommend Robin for your furry friend or pup. We will definitely be booking her again for Milo.”

About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs, as well as ducks and a Tortoise. I have dropped in for a neighbor to feed and let out her cat, change pee pads and clean food and water dishes. I have boarded dogs at my place for weekends. Dogs sleep on their own beds, and have access to my yard. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. I am available after work to dog walk, and can board Friday through Sunday. I have a large fenced in yard that dogs can freely roam in during the day and use the bathroom as needed. I have space in my living room for dog beds and/or crate for sleeping. I live close to west cliff and like to take walks down by the beach- typically I walk dogs at least twice a day unless noted, usually first thing in the morning and then later in the evening.

“Kathleen was amazing! She took great care of my pup and gave her a wonderful, fun-filled weekend. My dog Mira loved hanging out with Kathleen and her family! Great communication the entire time. Was very lucky to find such a gem of a dog sitter!”

“Highly recommended! Madhumita was very responsive, took great care of Maui (my 5 year old golden retriever) and provided regular updates along with photos and videos. I’ll be sure to avail her services in the future.”

“Anusha is an amazing sitter for Kumo. She updated us with pictures and videos every few hours which we greatly appreciated, and made us feel at ease during our vacation as we could see Kumo was having the time of her life. She even made a best friend during her stay! We're very lucky to have found her as a sitter and highly recommend!”

“Jennifer was very prompt in her service. She took good care of our dog and sent us regular updates with pics. She was also flexible and made sure our dog got her meds on time. Thanks Jennifer for the care and affection you provided for our pet.”

“Marta took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for one week. He experienced a health issue when we were away, and Marta handled it with careful attention. She worked hard to make sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She administered medication with confidence and communicated clearly with us as to how he was doing each day. I am thankful that we found Marta and recommend her to anyone looking for a capable, kind, dog-loving caretaker.”

“Ulysses was very attentive and took care of our two dogs with ease and great communication. It was evident they were given great love and care. Would absolutely trust him with our fur babies again in the future.”

“Michelle & Michael are awesome! They are both super nice, attentive, communicative, and took amazing care of our pup. We got regular updates on his activities throughout the day (which our family loved), and they kept him active and well loved his entire stay. Thank you both for looking after Doughy so well and we’ll definitely look them up the next time we need a sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Inhwa. I believe every dog deserves our full attention, which is why I only host one household at a time. My husband and I live in a serene and peaceful part of Campbell, where we enjoy taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to nearby John D. Morgan Park. We live in a house with a beautiful Japanese garden and a fully fenced yard. We have no children or pets. My husband mostly works from home, and I run my own business from my home office, so I have a highly flexible schedule. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime schedules. I’ll also keep you updated regularly with photos so you can see how your pup is doing. We aspire to create a quiet, “zen”-style home that feels like an oasis. We’d love for your family member to enjoy the same peaceful, comfortable, and caring retreat while they’re with us. As a new founder in the tea industry, I have the flexibility to shape my days around what matters most. I may spend a few hours working on my business, go swimming, or tend to our garden, but when a dog is staying with us, they become my VIP guest. My schedule will anchor around theirs. From morning walks to afternoon garden time and evening cuddles, I’ll be around and attentive throughout their stay. I’m happy to adapt to their personality, energy level, and usual routine so they can settle in comfortably and feel at home. I have a fenced front entrance and a fenced backyard, giving your dog(s) plenty of secure space to enjoy. Our home has two entrances, and each is protected by two doors for an extra layer of security. We also keep our home intentionally quiet and peaceful, and we host only one household at a time. This allows your dog(s) to enjoy their stay without having to share the space with unfamiliar dogs.

“Wonderful Dogsitter! I received photo updates every day and they made me 1000% sure that I made the best decision for my dog. He came back happy and even brushed (which I didn’t request so what a great bonus.) 10 out of 10!”

“Yu took amazing care of my dog Molly. We got tons of updates and pictures of their walks. I definitely recommend Yu and would love for her to watch Molly again!”

“I’m so grateful and blessed because Farbod and his wife took my pup, and treated her as their own. They were very responsible, updating me here and there about Poochie, which I totally appreciate, and helps when you are away from your pup. They are very responsive also. For sure, without a doubt, I will be a repeat client. 💕 Thank you Farbod and wife, can’t thank you guys enough!!”

“It was PK's first time with Juliana, so we weren't sure what to expect. PK came back happy and tired. Juliana shared pictures and walks of PK out at the park. She also let us know when PK needed a little extra attention, which we were grateful to receive.”
