About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.

Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away.

About: I've been a dependable care provider for many dogs in the past few years and really love what I do! Dog boarding is one of my main services and your pooch will be very tended to between myself and my roommate! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! 90% of the time while I am at work, my (also experienced dogsitter) boyfriend is home. With enough advanced notice I can be sure your dog is not left alone at all if needed, though if not otherwise specified depending on my schedule they may be alone up to 3 hours at a time. I am great at reading animal behavior and making sure your pet is comfortable. I also make sure to adhere to your guidelines carefully when caring for your pet. I'm experienced with animals who have separation anxiety and issues eating when in a new environment so you can rest assured they are as comfortable as possible!

“Dewey loves his time with Melissa! She is really great at directing him, fun and rewarding time together. As a young dog consistently is so important, Melissa focuses on good behavior and gentlycorrects when Dewey is getting off track.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and grew up with multiple cats and dogs around me at all times. I've always loved animals and found joy in caring for them, including walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. I have experience caring for dogs and cats from ages 0-17, including providing special routines and administering medicine. I'm currently working part-time in the area, so I will have plenty of time to meet new animals. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, so I am available most days. For me, a pet's health and happiness take precedence, so I always treat a pet as if they were my own, giving them all the attention they deserve. Some pets can be shy, so I always try and meet them where they are comfortable.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and family. I find a lot of joy in caring for them and appreciate the reciprocal relationship that develops with them over time. No matter what mood I’m in, my interactions with animals often leave me in a positive state of mind. I work full time, Mon-Fri from 8-4:30. Any time outside of this I am happy to work doing sitting or walking, and I’m open to staying overnight. I can be somewhat flexible with your needs. I am looking to supplement my income, but also just really enjoy having animals in my life and can’t have them in my own home. My landlord does not permit animals in the building, so I would have to come where your animals are. I can either walk a dog from your home, stop by for feedings , or house-sit as needed.

I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including rescues and pets with anxiety. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled with administering meds, special diets, and building trust with even the shyest pets. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s a daily joy and a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s starting my morning with a walk, spending quiet afternoons giving cuddles, or staying attentive to their needs throughout the day, pets bring purpose and happiness to my life. I’m dedicated to creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and valued. Because I genuinely enjoy their company, pet care feels less like work and more like spending time with friends—and that makes all the difference. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines—feeding, playtime, walks, and rest—to reduce stress and keep them happy. I give plenty of attention and affection, and monitor their health closely. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and daily habits. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, medication, exercise, and play. I make sure to keep their home secure and tidy, and provide companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. In both settings, my goal is to treat every pet like family and keep them safe, loved, and stress-free.

About: I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I've had dogs around me since I was a child. I'm able to care for puppies, to older dogs. I’ll always treat your fur babies with compassion and the same amount of love I give to my 3 year old doberman/lab mix dog named Oakley. I am a current nursing student that works full time, but flexible on checking in on your fur babies and making time for some play time! I’ll always do what’s comfortable for them, and especially the owner. I’ll be sure comfortability is always a priority and ensure safety for everyone around.

“Annalee has been such a life saver with walking my fur baby Hercules! I’ve been in tight situations where I’m asking for a walk just a few hours prior and she happily agrees which does not go unnoticed. She’s very diligent about providing photos on how the walk went, does a great lock up of my place, and is conscious of where to walk him depending on weather/other circumstances. I highly recommend her to any other owners looking for a dependable and trustworthy walker!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for most my life. Pets have become my passion. I can administer medicine, give as many potty breaks as needed and give them all my attention and love. I do work full time at a pet store so if your booking is for the weekend I will either be able to check in frequently or even bring them with me to work. Whatever you prefer. I’ll have Sunday and Monday off and will be at your pets side 100% of those days. I have a unique set up for my home. I have no yard but the world will be your pets oyster. I can walk them or sit at a secluded park or take them to the beach. If they are not so active I can slow it down for them and whatever they need.

About: I have been trusted to take care of others’ pets for approximately nine years now. I absolutely adore animals and think they deserve the world, so your pet’s wants and needs are my number one priority! If my prices are not in your range, I am happy to negotiate something that is fair for us both. I am a full-time medical assistant who works 3 12 hour shifts each week. On my days off I have plenty of time to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your fur baby. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away. I am willing to check in on your pets as many times as you feel necessary, or even stay with them throughout the day. I always say “treat others how you would want to be treated,” so I hold the same expectations to myself that I would have someone who was watching my pet.

“Ember is a very reliable and patietwalker. She uses positive reinforcement to encourage our timid puppy to walk farther each time. We highly recommend her!”

About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals.
