About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. 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. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

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.

“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 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.

“So very pleased! And Scooby loved Lizzie right away💇‍♀️🦮. Recommend 💯% Thanks Lizzie!”

About: Some previous work experience (6 months) with the Sequoia Humane Society where I worked hands on with cats and dogs with various personalities and temperaments. Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.

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.

About: Hi, I'm Gretta! I have had pets in my home my entire life, dogs, cats, parrots, cows, sheep, and even a turkey or two. I have also worked as a licensed childcare provider in my house. I know little people are not the same as pets but caring for the needs of others (two or four-legged) is a part of who I am. I'm an empty nester and have recently lost my dog to old age. Instead of replacing my Lola, I would love the opportunity to care for your precious pup while you are away. I will only care for the dogs from one family at a time to ensure your pet gets the best care I can provide. Kind of like a grandma for your furbabies! I live in a neighborhood that is safe for walks, and my yard is fully fenced. I am available for walks, check-ins, and daycare. I will consider overnight boarding on a family by family basis. I am so looking forward to meeting you and helping you take care of your furry family.

About: I've always felt proud of my ability to get along with all kinds of creatures. Growing up, I was the kid who would petsit for all my friends' families. Nowadays, I'm the proud mama of a spunky Chihuahua, a beautiful tuxedo kitty, and a quirky bearded dragon. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'd love to have an extra reason to get out of the house. Plus, walking is my favorite way to exercise. Just like us humans, no two dogs or cats are the same. So when it comes to any special needs, I always appreciate having clear directions to follow.

“I requested services from Amy to walk my dog Penny while I was out of town. Although I was unable to meet her in person, Amy exceeded my expectations. I was a little apprehensive about someone else walking my dog because she is still a young lab in training, Amy understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable with her services. On the days Amy would take Penny out, she constantly sent me updates with photos and videos of Penny playing with other dogs. Penny was also very well behaved with Amy, which was my concern, and that she listened to Amy. When penny was dropped off at my parents house, my mom would tell me how exhausted Penny would come home after a day with Amy and how well behaved she was after the walks. Overall, I’m very happy that I picked Amy and would definitely consider asking her again for her services again. She’s awesome!”

About: Hello there! My name is Julia. I have always had animals and I have also been pet sitting the past 10 years. I know how nerve racking it is to leave your precious furry family member with someone new! I have a cat and dog of my own and they are my world. Thankfully, they stay with my family when I pet sit (which they love). I know how important it is to find a good person to care for your pet. During my stay you can expect me to take care of feedings, replenish water, and administer any medications. I give them lots of affection, positive reinforcement and love! My goal is to make your pet feel like they are on a fun staycation with a new friend. I’m also vigilant about safety and security. For dogs I give them two walks a day. I have experience with all types of dogs and trained with basic dog training/handling. For cats I give them lots of pets, play with them and clean the litter box daily. In terms of house sitting I’m happy to take in mail and water plants. This should go without saying but I make sure to clean up after myself and keep things clean. I will respect your space. Basically, I love animals. I love meeting new furry friends and I take this job seriously. While having lots of fun!! I am available every day besides Monday and Tuesday as of now. Other than that I am very flexible! I am willing to meet your needs and if something changes i’ll do my best to accommodate if possible. When I take care of your animal I am extra careful about safety and security. Always making sure doors and exits are shut and locked, being mindful if there is a pool in the backyard, cleaning up after any mess I make… wiping down counters and sweeping up crumbs. I also am very careful to administer the right food and any medications or special needs they may have. When we are just hanging out I give them lots attention, praise, play and snuggles. Always being attentive to their needs individually.

About: I’ve had large & small dogs all my life and love having them at home with me & my dog Pippa who is friendly and playful. I’m currently not working so I can devote more time to dog walking and care. I can do neighborhood walks, beach walks or dog parks. I have a fenced back yard & a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I have 2 different sized dog crates and can use those if needed and lots of toys.

About: I’ve been taking care of household and farm pets all my life. My family and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals, I have two dogs of my own so I know that I would want someone to love and take care of mine as if they were their own. I am currently unemployed so I am available every day. I go to the grocery store at least once a week during the weekend, but my schedule is very flexible. I’m currently working part time but I am able to work in caring for your pets easily. I live out in Carlotta but driving far distances does not bother me I will treat your pet the same as if it were my own pet with all the love and affection that they deserve, I take caring for pets extremely serious because I have my own dog and would want the same for him if he was in someone else’s care🩷

About: I have had experience in pet care for about 10 years, I was a volunteer at Miranda’s Rescue for a while and gained tons of knowledge from that! But growing up with all the pets me and my family have and had helped me learn the most. I learned a variety of skills that make me a great pet caregiver. I have been a pet sitter and walker for my friends and family but hope to expand to more clientele. I have such an enthusiastic passion for animals and my goal is to someday have a great career that includes all sorts of animals. I just graduated high school last month and am on a gap year before attending college, I have lots of free time and hope to use it for all those who are in need of my services! I have worked with many dogs and cats that are nervous around new people and I am always sure to acknowledge that the animals know that I am just a guest in their home and do everything in my power to make them feel the most comfortable around me.

About: My experience in pet care is from having my own pets, and caring for family and friends. I walk, feed and bathe their pets. I've also taken them to the vet and dog groomers when needed. I always try to do my best about asking the right questions, and adapting to the needs of every pet. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! It would be another easy add into my daily routine. I will watch or check on them while they go potty. Make sure they get love, petted and played with. Before I leave the house I will always go over the list and check off the things they need like making sure they have water, food and whatever else is needed. I like to try to make them as happy and comfortable as I can.
