“Javier is very responsible and communicative. He watched my dog for a night and he did everything correct. My dog loved him and enjoyed being near him as I could see from the photos he sent me. I definitely recommend Javier!”

“Natalie again is the best!!! She watched my babies and even set up a cute little Valentine’s Day kissing both to provide stimulation to my kitties. It was adorable and I’m so happy I found her. I can always rest easy knowing Natalie is with my cats. She really helps me be able to relax and know they are safe and happy. Thank you again Natalie ❤️❤️”

“Marianne is absolutely fantastic! I can't say enough good about her. My girls were so happy and well cared for. My home was immaculate and Marianne is super friendly and easy to talk with. She will be my number 1 go-to from here on out. Thank you so much, Marianne!”

“Jenna is amazing! Jenna stayed at my house with my two dogs Luna and Penny while I was out of town at a work conference. Right when she arrived, she sent me an update, and sent lots of photos and updates throughout her entire stay. She was so sweet, attentive, and I could tell by the photos that my girls were super stoked to have her. Jenna took my pups on walks multiple times throughout the day, even when the weather was gross and rainy. When I came home, my dogs were completely relaxed and resting. Jenna even left a super sweet gift of a of drawing of my dogs, and a bag of trinkets that truly felt like it was given to me by an old friend. I’ll be reaching out to Jenna any time I need some help with my pups, and would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

“Excellent job. My Rick was happy, healthy and calm and did not appear to have missed me at all, LOL. Mary left everything in tidy order and communicated when she had questions. She followed the care instructions and improvised skillfully - I appreciate her providing great care of my Rick🤗”

“Truly exceptional in every way! We were pretty nervous about using rover for in-house sitting for the first time but Alexis made us feel so comfortable and made everything seamless. Most importantly, Bucky loved her right away and he is an excellent judge of character ☺️. Alexis sent lots of photos and even video updates so we knew he was doing great and being well cared for every day. It takes a special person to take on a very large dog in a new space and Alexis was everything we could hope for in a sitter. And she left our home looking perfect too! So grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kind, considerate, and extremely competent sitter for their fur baby.”

“Madolyn is awesome! She took great care of our Moose, sent lots of pictures and we came home to a completely spotless house! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ?”

“Kimberly was kind enough to accept a short notice request to taking care of Freya. It turned out that I was unable to go, but the notice I received was very late. I canceled Kimberly and paid for the booking, because she was really accommodating and I hope to use her services in the future.”

“Emma takes such great care of our pup for us! We always feel most comfortable when she is in our home and keeping him company. Thanks Emma !”

About: Caring and reliable pet sitter with over ten years of experience. Comfortable with taking care of both cats and dogs. Experience with giving medications, even to those who don’t like to take their pills. I’ve lived in the area for 15 years, comfortable with pet sitting anywhere in the area. Looking forward to taking care of your pets as if they were my own while you’re away! I work full time Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 5:30, but am available mornings, evenings, and weekends.

About: Hi! I’m Gia, and I’ve spent the past 4 years on and off caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, bunnies, and everything in between. From daily walks and feedings to administering meds and giving lots of love, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in good hands, and I’m here to give them comfort, care, and attention while you’re away. I work full-time in the mornings, which leaves my afternoons, evenings, and weekends open for pet care!

“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”

“Mari was fantastic with my older dog TJ who takes meds and has to be coaxed to eat. She took him to his hydration sessions at the vet as well. My younger terrier who can be shy and skittish took to her and now obviously according to the pictures we received considers her a pal. We were able to take a much needed break from the caretaking duties associated with TJ and enjoy our vacation. Thank you Mari!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter and walker is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all shapes and sizes.

I’m skilled in administering medications and providing the patience and care that senior or special needs pets require. My background extends beyond dogs—I’ve also raised chickens, quail, guinea pigs, and rabbits, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior and needs. With a lifetime of animal care and a deep commitment to their well-being, I offer a level of experience and love that you and your pets can trust. Pet sitting and care fit seamlessly into my daily life because animals have always been a central part of who I am.

I provide excellence in pet care by treating every client’s home and pet as if they were my own. Safety is my top priority, and I follow each pet owner’s instructions to the letter, ensuring routines are maintained and each pet’s unique needs are met. I respect my clients’ homes, keeping spaces clean and secure, and I always prioritize open communication to provide updates and peace of mind. My daily experience caring for my own pets gives me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and attention animals need, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while their owners are away.

“We have three dogs and a bunny. Carly is great. She stayed with my babies over the weekend. She took the big boys on runs, cuddled with with all the pups and even played with the rabbit. My dogs were so happy when I got home. It is so comforting knowing my dogs were so well taken care of while away.”

“We hired Lauren to watch our three pups in our home. One of our dogs is a senior with advanced Cushing's Disease and is diabetic. It's been so long since we were able to get away and enjoy ourselves for an extended period of time because of Baxter's medical issues. We needed someone to come and stay in our home and have the knowledge and ability to respond to his medical needs as well as meet the needs of our other two pups. Lauren did all of that for us. She's a professional through and through, wonderful personality and incredibly flexible with us. It's such a relief to know our pets are in her hands so we can enjoy our time away. We feel so lucky to have found her! She's the best!”

About: I'm well-versed in litterboxes, cleaning up messes and throw up, interacting with hyper active animals until they wear themselves out, and gaining the trust of skittish animals. I work with kids, I find pets are much easier. I'm a full time student at UCSC and a runner which is perfect because I can study while petting a cat or take your hyperactive dog for a fun run. I'm also a lifeguard during the summers so I'm well versed with the beach and the sea and for the dogs who like to swim or paddleboard, I can show them an amazing day. I make sure the home is as clean if not cleaner than when I got there. I make sure to gain a pets trust before anything else, prioritizing eye contact and belly rubs. I'm very adaptable and can work with older and young, hyper animals.

About: Dogs usually have open access through (dog) door between fenced yard and house. Can help train through interaction during your dog’s stay. Happy to cater to your preferences or needs. With your permission, may also be willing to take dogs on field trips, like hiking, beach, etc. Our house dog is super friendly and certainly willing to play and interact with your dog, or leave your dog be if that’s what your dog wants or needs. Experience with many breeds, sizes, ages from puppies to senior, and ailing dogs. Our home is likely a convenient location for many locals, folks working nearby, or visitors / tourists, who want or need a better place for their dog to hang out, play, and be safe and happy.
