About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with everything from walks, playtime, feeding, and giving plenty of love and attention to keeping dogs comfortable and on their normal routines. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand that every pup has different needs, and I’m happy to follow their routines and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give pets the attention they deserve. I currently work one day a week, so I’m able to accommodate different schedules and spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care. I love having dogs around and enjoy making them feel comfortable, happy, and at home. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any house rules you have. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, sleeping arrangements, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship.

About: I have a life time of experience around cats, dogs and numerous other animals. My dad, a retired veterinarian and animal physical therapist, taught me everything there is to know about caring for animals. While placing safety first, I offer peace of mind for you and create tail-wagging fun for your pets. I can take your dog out on walks, hikes and runs, or keep them busy indoors. During drop-in visits I can also take care of light household chores. I'm available Friday to Monday for drop-in visits and dog walks, and 7 days a week for boarding. I'm a homemaker with a flexible schedule. I can board dogs 7 days a week and do twice to 3 times a day drop-in visits from Friday to Monday. I'm also available for dog walks, weekend hikes or 3-mile runs. I'm comfortable around cats, all size dogs and breeds, as well as other types of animals. I have experience administering oral medications and light grooming for both dogs and cats. Please let me know if your pet has special needs like arthritis, special diets, blindness, deafness, anxiety, etc.

“Gigi did a great job watching my Maltipoo dog for 10 nights. Her family provided a true home for our pup, and I’ll always be grateful! She took great care of him, and took him on multiple walks a day. She has went above and beyond by brushing his hair and teeth, cleaning his eyes, and giving him a bath. She provided a lot of photos and videos and his list of activities that day which made us feel relieved that my fur baby is in good hand and having fun. He came home clean, happy and content. Highly recommend for anyone looking to board their pup! Thanks again for taking such good care of Ethan :)”

“Angelina was an Angel and a life saver. I booked last minute and she responded immediately. Angelina was pleasant and very sweet. When meeting Onyx and Blue she asked all the right questions in order to provide the best care for my fur babies. Angelina sent pictures and kept me updated on all my babies activities. If you want your fur baby to be in a nurturing, safe, and fun home, Angelina is the caregiver for you.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had two or three at a time—from Huskies, Malamutes, and wolf dogs to French Bulldogs, Border Collies, and Pit Bulls—so I learned early that every breed brings its own personality, challenges, and way of learning. Over the years, I’ve worked on the fundamentals with a wide variety of dogs and later had the opportunity to learn from an experienced trainer with a background in search and rescue, protection work, and advanced behavior training. That experience helped me expand my skills, understand dogs on a deeper level, and appreciate how much the right approach can change both a dog’s behavior and their future. Now I’m building something of my own. My goal is to keep learning, keep improving, and use the skills I’ve developed to help dogs become more confident, manageable, and successful in their homes. Most importantly, I hope to help give dogs with behavioral challenges a second chance—and keep as many as possible from being euthanized simply because they were misunderstood or never given the right training. I tend to favor weekends and over nights with my work schedule. However, flexibility is possible. Scheduling your pups appointments ahead will always be recommended! I work with both dogs and handlers/owners to facilitate better communication. Once a dog can communicate effectively with their human, a bond deeper than “the hand that feeds me” can develop.

“Emily watched my dog Shia for one night, and she was great! She was easy to communicate with, responsible, and attentive. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter in Santa Cruz!”
