About: Hi there, I’m Chris! I’ve had some kind of pet in my life ever since I was little, from cats to dogs to aquatic acquaintances! I currently have two cats that bring me so much happiness. I’ve been my friend’s and family’s go to pet sitter for many years due to my obvious love of pets and animals. I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and of all ages, as well as mixed species pet families. I establish bonds with the animals I care for which can sometimes make it hard to say goodbye. I adore puppies due to their excitable nature and high energy! Cats have a special place in my heart because of the memories I share with the cats I’ve had but if you were to ask me if I was a cat or dog person; I’d say, “Why can’t you be both?” LGBTQIA+ friendly I graduated from college with a degree in anthropology and am now back in my hometown working a part-time contract job. My work schedule is very flexible so with enough time’s notice I can work any request into it. I am typically free to feed and walk pets in the morning and evening, as typical schedules go. Please let me know if there are any special requests or needs for your animal! I understand the importance of an animals happiness and mental state. I am very much used to taking care of pets in other’s houses and will follow the rules of the house perfectly. I have house sat in Kosher households before so I am familiar with the importance of following set rules. I am okay with pets that sleep on the bed with the owner or having to crate up a pet for the night. I am a private person and often keep to myself; I don’t cause a ruckus! I keep things nice and tidy just like the saying goes, “a place for everything and an everything in its place.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for both cats and dogs have always brought me a lot of joy. Growing up I always had cats and dogs in the house at all times. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make pets so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help animals feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type. As a mainly remote working professional, I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits and walks throughout the day. I can easily fit care into my routine while updating parents with photos and messages along the way. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. As an owner with specific pet routines of my own, I know that each pet has their own preferences and comfort level that I pay close attention to. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication and peace of mind so you can be present while you're away knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I started dog walking and petsitting in 2022. I'm great at reinforcing recall and working with all kinds of dogs, from independent off-leash to dogs that are prone to separation anxiety. I’m the perfect person to hang out with and cuddle your furry friend while you’re away. I am currently working from home and part time at that so I have plenty of energy to devote to making sure your furry friend is well taken care of. I'm fairly active and get at least 2 walks in a day and enjoy hiking as well. I usually take dogs on walks 2x daily unless otherwise instructed. I am home for most of the day and am typically not gone from the home for more than a couple hours at a time. Love having the pets sleep with me and venture out to hiking spots or day trips if that is something that suits them.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience. I have four dogs of my own, and have experience training numerous dogs with different personalities and needs. I'm comfortable working with young pets who need patience, consistency, and basic training, as well as older pets who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I treat every animal with the same patience, care, and respect that I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so adding another pet to my routine comes naturally. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure each pet gets the individual care and companionship they need. I care for every pet based on their normal routine, personality, and their owner's instructions. In a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet's boundaries and their home while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's a high-energy dog, a playful kitten, or a pet that needs extra patience, I treat them like they're one of my own.

“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”

Nicole & Mauricio I.

“Alex has been incredibly reliable and caring with my dog. They’re gentle, kind, and clearly love what they do. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

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.

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 have always had animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, horses) and took a break from having pets for schooling. I grew up in 4-H and FFA but stopped with animals after high school. Now I have a lab puppy who keeps me active. But would love to be around more pets. I’m a runner and love being outside. We got our puppy at 8 weeks and have done all of his training at home. He is a well mannered, behaved puppy. I enjoy playing and interacting with animals. Our pets are our family! I don’t have much experience with pet sitting but for friends and family. My actual career is a nurse so first aid is my thing! At this time I can only dog walk and do check ins.

About: I have experience with birds, cats, and small to very large dogs! I am willing to train if needed for your dogs. Cats and birds are welcome! I work as a mobile X-ray tech and have availability after 3:30 Tuesday through Saturday. I am free on Sundays and Mondays the full day. :) I am trustworthy and loving towards your pet care needs, I have plenty of grass at the park near my home for dogs to run!

About: I have always loved being around animals of all kind. I have a deep trust in them because of their innocent nature, and I am deeply compelled to love and protect them. I work part-time and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule for the time-being. I have a young male pup named Bigelow who loves to play with other dog-friendly doggos. He and I would love the company of other dogs at our home, out on leash walks, hikes and trail outings, and on off leash beach and park playdates. Biggy adapts to the playstyle of his friends; he is a wonderful combination of fast, agile, gentle and sweet, and naturally responds to the dominance/submission of his pals. I have a fenced yard with 1 young and friendly dog, and one indoor/outdoor kitty who reluctantly tolerates the presence of dogs who do not chase after him. There is an unheated pool that the dogs will have access to swim in. The pool will not be supervised constantly so it is important to know that your sweetie can swim if necessary, and can use the stairs to exit the pool. There are sunny and shady spots, stairs, deck space, and several dirt/grass spaces for potty spots. Doggies can roam freely and play around the fenced yard space, and will have access to indoors for meals, quiet times, rest times, and when weather insists. Doggies sleep indoors/outdoors on dog beds, crates, or the couch. Doggos need to be potty trained and should be able to sleep through the night without potty access until 7 am. Your doggy will be in safe and loving hands with us. It is our duty and honor to love and protect them as our own.
