Highly recommend! :)”
About: Offering beach walks, customized care, regular updates with photos, flexible scheduling, and loving attention. Ensuring your dog's safe, fun seaside adventure with peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom with a flexible work-from-home schedule. This allows me to easily integrate walks, feeding, and playtime into my day. My experience with pets' specific needs means I'm always available to provide attentive and customized care whenever necessary. I create a secure environment by pet-proofing, using safe toys, maintaining cleanliness, securing windows, and ensuring proper ventilation, all while providing a designated safe space.
About: I have a special needs Australian Cattle Dog. I am highly experienced with separation anxiety and can meet your pets unique needs. I respect each dog owners unique style. I will help provide any level of on-going training during my time with your dog and make sure to uphold any doggy rules such as no treats or special leash instructions. I have had extensive experience with my own pets and volunteer at a dog shelter where I have handled senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special health care needs. I love big dogs and small dogs and pride myself in being extremely patient. I realize that every dog has their own personality and some take more time to warm up to people and new places. I will be more than happy to provide pictures or updates during my visit with your pup. Your dogs safety and care is my number one concern.
“Nohemi was great with pugs. She sent me a ton of pictures and was very accommodating to my schedule which is a huge plus. Pugs was worn out and tired by the time I got her back after spending the day at the beach. Would highly recommend Nohemi to anyone!”
“Natalia is reliable, responsive and a great host. She is extremely flexible, loving and kind. My pup Sam had a wonderful time. She made him feel right at home and took great care of him. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Natalia and Chester!”
“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”
“Josslyn was very kind and loving to my dog Elsa. She had a very calm and soothing way about her, which intern made Elsa feel right at home with her and her dog Nova. I would recommend her to anyone needing her experienced services.I will diffently use her again.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!

Capitola dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received with Jasmine! It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs enjoyed their walk and received lots of attention! They came home happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter. If we are back in the area, we will definitely book with her again!
Jade’s dad is hyper protective of his dog and did not want o put Jade in a local kennel while we attempted a wedding here in Santa Cruz. Elizabeth was the perfect friend for Jade to spend the day with. She came back to us happy after her day filled with walks, play and good care. Would highly recommend Elizabeth to hang out with your dogs.
Mazi is new to doggy daycare. We had a meet & greet in advance, so Mazi could become familiar with a new place. Natalia took her for a long walk shortly after drop off and provided reassurance when anxious. She also kept us updated throughout her stay, including pictures. Mazi had a good time, and was tired from the new adventures & stimulation. We will definitely book again.
Jenna was quick to respond to our last minute request and was very accommodating! My dog can be very anxious whenever he's not with me, but somehow I felt at ease having Jenna and her daughters watch my baby for the day. Thank you again for taking care of my baby!
Michaela totally put my mind at ease for my frightened dog, answering my questions and asking great ones to make sure it was a successful visit. Her dog is very well trained and helped her feel comfortable. She ended up having the best time and I had a hard time getting her in the car!
