Pet Sitting Holy City

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals all my life! I rescue animals when I can, have fostered, bottle fed, treated injuries, given injections and medications to many animals. Animals are my comfort zone- just being around them is my joy! I can do short walks, herding dog games, feed, or provide overnight care. I especially love herding and other working breed dogs, and typically get along with even difficult animals (feral cats for example!) I would love to meet you and your pets! I am in Redwood Estates, in the Santa Cruz mountains. I am a recently retired high school teacher sill working part time at UCSC, so am available most days to care for your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 kitties at home, bit can easily help out pet parents who need extra walks, play time, or vacation care! My pets are my family (fur babies!) i will care for your pets like my own! I can care for your pets in your home- the least stressful for them! Or take them to a park, hikes, or a leisurely walk. In your home I will make sure to keep everything tidy, and treat your pets as my family- lots of snuggles and playtime!

About: I love all animals and love to interact and care for them. Animals are part of our family and needed to be treated as such. I am currently a stay-at-home homeschooling mom so I could spend almost every minute with your fur baby to make sure they are having a wonderful time. I have a dog as well so your fur baby will have some company. Also my daughter just loves dogs as well and your fur baby will be extra loved.

“Nicole and Ryan were great with my dog Edie! I received updates and pics for every drop in and felt confident knowing my pup was in good hands while I was traveling. They had a conflict during one drop in time and needed to adjust the schedule and offered to come an extra visit later that day to make sure Edie was comfortable. During the meet and greet Nicole asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s preferences, personality, and schedule. I highly recommend and would gladly book with them in the future!”

“I needed someone to come in the mornings to feed my cats. Tyler was available after my original Rover booking canceled on me at the last minute. He checked in with me before leaving each day to make sure that I didn't need anything else. I appreciated the status updates and follow-up questions to be as helpful as he could.”

“Sydney came right on time for our appointment . He was friendly and our dog was very comfortable with him. Thanks Sydney!”

“Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby”

About: I have 2 dogs that are the absolute loves of my life. I’ve had dogs my whole life and always watch friends dogs and provide exceptional care! What can I say, I like dogs more than people!! I have a flexible work from home schedule and a large flat fenced yard. I love to take dogs for hikes and walks and provide food, pets and care as needed! I am very attuned and aware of dogs. If something seems off, I will take immediate action. I ensure food and treat schedules are adhered to and overall will just love and cuddle and pet and walk your dog! I’m super kind and believe dogs are the kindest souls on earth.

About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks. Prefer low shedding dogs. I am a full time dog sitter/ tutor, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (5.5 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 15). My husband works from home 2 times a week as well.

About: Having owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life—including years of pet-sitting—I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet my full attention whenever you need support. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting, your pet will enjoy attentive, personalized care with the perfect mix of play, walks, and dedicated attention. I primarily work remotely from home with a highly flexible routine, allowing me to focus on your pet throughout the entire day. Because I am on-site continuously, I can provide frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, play breaks, and quick neighborhood walks. I easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding and exercise schedule without leaving them unattended. Safety and peace of mind are my highest priorities. When pets are in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and fully pet-proofed space equipped with comfortable resting areas and secure environments. For care hosted in your home, I strictly follow your established routines, care instructions, and safety boundaries. Regardless of location, I ensure all doors and windows remain secure and double-check all leashes and gear before heading outside.

“Thank you for the last minute drop in! Our pup looked happy and like she enjoyed the walk, thank you!!”

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've owned dogs for 15 years and have taken care of different dogs for the past 5 years. Previously helped train one dog. Used to taking care of senior dogs who need extra care like medication application. Currently working part time, so have plenty of time on Tuesdays and Thursdays to do drop ins and take care of and play with your dog(s)! I plan to keep strong communication with you about boundaries and how to best take care of your pup, since you know them best! I ask multiple questions to make sure everything I do is alright with you if unsure.

“Chris was an amazing sitter for our little guy, Toby! After meeting Chris for the first time and seeing him with our dog, I knew he would be a good fit and had no qualms about having him take care of Toby. We booked Chris for 5 days while we went to visit family out of town. Our 5 day trip was unexpectedly extended when a snow storm cancelled our flight and we were unable to get on a new flight for another 5 days. Luckily, Chris was available (this was the week of Christmas and NYE!) and had no problem adjusting to our delay. He even went to the store to buy more dog food when we ran out! Overall, Chris is a really friendly guy and I will definitely book with him whenever we are in need!”

About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918 I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.

About: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.

About: I am a responsible, nurturing and kind individual who loves all animals. I have owned small dogs, large dogs, a cat, aquatic pets, and taken care of many of my friends', family members' pets and been referred to many to care for their dogs and cats. In my last relationship I took full responsibility for three large dogs, one which was a rescue adopted as a puppy, (feeding, administering medications, training, exercise, bathing, grooming, vet visits) for about 5 years. I am currently working part-time and taking a break from school while I prepare to apply to a health profession program. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and overnight care. Because of my flexible availability, I can devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they stay on their normal routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and companionship. I look forward to working with you and providing your pet with the compassionate, dependable care they deserve while you're away! I provide loving, reliable pet care in your home using your pet's own supplies to help keep their routine as normal as possible. I use the food, treats, toys, bedding, leashes, litter, medications, and any other pet essentials you provide, so I don't bring my own pet supplies. This helps your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. I live in a quiet, small neighborhood with about 0.75 acres of yard space and keep a clean, tidy home with plenty of room for pets to roam and relax. If boarding or daycare is arranged at my home, I will use any pet supplies you provide to maintain your pet's routine and comfort. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

“Highly recommended! Erika has been helping our 6 year old golden retriever (Maui) for several months now -- regular weekly walks and drop in visits when we are out of town. Very responsive, clear communication and takes great care of Maui.”

“Lina is super kind and a great caretaker of pets. I was very grateful she offered to come over beforehand to meet and get the details for caring for my kitties while I was gone. She did a fabulous job and would book again!”
