Charlie and I love Amanda! She is always reliable and I always feel secure that she is not only taking care of the food and litter box needs of Charlie but also giving him love and attention during each visit. My little guy is a super social cat who gets lonely when left alone but thanks to Amanda, he's always happy when I get back from trips. Amanda really came through for us during one visit when one of Charlie's anal sacks ruptured. She texted me right away and at my request, she took him to the emergency room and kept me updated the whole time (while I was running to the airport to catch the first flight back home I could) and took Charlie to my friends house so that he would be taken care of until I was able to get home. She's solid gold in my opinion!

About: Hey! Glad to see you here! My name is Morgan, and while I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to animal care. You can see my past experience on the IG account I’m currently building @morgansnugglesyourdog 🐾 If you want someone who aims to understand your pets, respects their routines, is intentional, and takes a thoughtful, behavior-focused approach to care — welcome! I’m a calm, capable sitter who tailors care to your pet’s unique needs, energy level, and emotional comfort. Whether your dog is a mellow senior, a wild child in training, or just your average well-behaved snugglebug, I offer structure, enrichment, affection, and the kind of consistency pets thrive on. I believe all animals deserve to be heard and deserve intentional care and structure. ❌ Things I don’t do: • Dog parks • Chaotic group situations • Handing out treats “just because” • Pushing past an animal’s comfort zone • Ignoring or minimizing behavioral needs ✅ Things I do: • Personalized, temperament-based care • Adventures (if your pet is up for it!) • Daily enrichment and mental stimulation • Intentional structure and calm routines • Respecting your pet’s boundaries and setting healthy ones • All the snuggles (when invited!) I also have hands-on experience with cats, small animals (like guinea pigs and rats), reptiles, and even farm animals like pigs and ducks. If it has paws, claws, hooves, or scales — chances are, I’ve cared for it. When it’s a good fit, I love incorporating dogs into my daily life — whether that’s a nature walk, a car ride to town, or just relaxing outside. But I never take dogs to dog parks or chaotic spaces. If something feels too stimulating or simply isn’t right for your pet, we skip it — no pressure, no push. And if your pup is the stay-home-and-cuddle type? That works for me too. I always ask about behavior, routines, and preferences ahead of time and spend the first day or two getting a read on what your pet is capable of and comfortable with. My goal is to help every animal feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for in a way that honors who they are. I work from home full time! I have several clients but the type of work allows me to be extremely flexible for your pets! I know while some pets can just hang out while I work, others may need more care, enrichment or a closer eye - I can and will accommodate accordingly. Just let me know what your pet needs ❤️ When sitting at your home I prefer to stick to the spaces your pets are most comfortable in or used to as well as stick to a similar routine. I find this helps with separation anxiety and any confusion the pets may have since their favorite human is gone! If possible, I like to take dogs for a longer walk on the first day to help us bond and help me learn how they behave. For other pets, this may look more like a longer playtime, enrichment activity, etc. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible with me in their space so that first day is important to me!

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. I grew up with a golden retriever named Arwen, and from 8th grade on, I was fully responsible for her walks, training, and care. I even started waking up an hour earlier every day just to make sure she got her morning walk in before school! Later, when I moved to the U.S. for college, I helped raise and train my roommate’s husky puppy, Ava, who struggled with separation anxiety. I’d take her to class, skate with her to tire her out, and help her stay calm and confident. It was like co-parenting a very energetic fur baby—and I loved every minute. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from hyper puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My husband and I pet sat for two elderly Bichon Frises (17 years old!) every year while their owners traveled, carefully managing their diet, medications, and gentle exercise. I’ve also grown to love cats after living with Archie—my first real cat roommate—and have experience gently brushing, bonding, and caring for both indoor and stray cats (I even accidentally helped my mom adopt a kitten when I took in a stray!). Most recently, I taught my in-laws’ senior dog Ellie new tricks at the age of 7, proving that even older pups can learn with patience and love. We can’t have pets in our home right now due to landlord restrictions, so pet sitting is how I stay connected to what I love most—animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I am a bioengineering Ph.D. Student, most of the time I have freedom of picking my hours, as well as working from home when needed! I always start by learning as much as I can about your pet’s routine, preferences, health needs, and quirks. Whether it’s medication schedules, feeding routines, or special toys they love—I’m here to follow your instructions to a T. I do my best to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m extremely respectful of your home and always aim to leave it just as you left it (or better!). I double-check doors and windows, never leave pets unsupervised outside, and keep a tidy, pet-safe environment throughout the stay. I also send regular updates—photos, videos, and check-ins—so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. If you ever need in-my-home care in the future (pending landlord approval!), my goal would be to provide a cozy, stress-free space that’s clean, safe, and set up to meet your pet’s unique needs.

About: I grew up in a big home with 12 dogs, so caring for pets comes naturally. Your dog is in loving, experienced, and reliable hands, always! I currently have a part-time summer job during half the day, but I’m fully available in the evenings and nights. I also have two days off weekly, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the love and attention they need I treat every pet like they’re my own; no seriously, think belly rubs, baby voice, and full VIP treatment. Your pup’s safety, routine, and happiness? Locked in.

About: Hi there! I have plenty of experience working with all sorts of animals, I volunteered at the SF zoo handling various small mammals, reptiles, birds, etc. I have babysitting experience under my belt as well and I know that your pet is your baby, so rest assured you are in good hands. My best friend and housemate is also a vet tech, if it eases your mind at all. I'm currently working part time as a waitress at a restaurant 4 times a week. My current schedule is Tuesdays 11-6pm, then Fridays-Sundays I work the closing shift 4-11pm. I am free all day Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but am able to work before/after some times on the days that I work my main job! I have done husbandry care for tiny little coral, feeding them like clockwork and making sure they have all that they need, so if your animal has any dietary restrictions or allergies I am more than capable of handling all of their needs so long as instructions are provided.

About: I have had the privilege of caring for my German Shepherd, Rex, for three years, which deepened my passion for working with animals. Over the past 5 years, I have also gained extensive experience through Rover, specializing in dog training, behavioral corrections, and structured care. My expertise includes addressing common challenges such as excessive barking, leash pulling, aggressive tendencies, and uncontrolled anxiety. I work closely with pups and pet parents to ensure continuity in the care and training methods their pets are accustomed to or can develop. I also work with other sitters to learn more about certain situations and how I may better myself as care giver and teacher! I currently doing Rove full time, allowing me to dedicate my time to training sessions, structured walks, and behavior-focused activities. I am currently finishing up my schooling online and building my business on the side. The pets I care for are treated like family. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each dog and their Kahu, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. Whether working on obedience training, leash manners, or socialization, I prioritize creating a structured yet nurturing setting. All the while keeping you the parent’s schedule in mind and routine so that your pup go about their day in the best way possible!

About: Hi Santa Cruz pet parents! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and back home in Berkeley, I have a sweet 7-year-old pup named Disco (who I miss dearly!). While I’m away at school, I’d love to care for your furry companions as if they were my own. I’m also an athlete on the UCSC Cross Country and Track team—so whether your pet needs a gentle stroll, a long walk, or a high-energy run, I’ve got it covered. I'm happy to walk, run, or even housesit for your pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and exercised. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one—book a walk with me today! 🐾 I’m super active and love the outdoors! I run Cross Country and Track & Field at UCSC, so staying active is a huge part of my lifestyle. This summer, I’m not super busy and have made it my mission to hike every trail in Santa Cruz! That means I have plenty of time and energy to care for your pets—whether they need a calm walk, an energetic run, or a hiking buddy. I’d love to include your furry friend in my summer adventures! I am not currently offering to care for pets in my own home due to the terms of my lease, but I am happy to care for your pet in yours!

David is going to be your dog’s new best friend! He is easy going, gentle, yet fun and active. So no matter what your dog likes to do, stay at home getting belly rubs or go out for a fetch/ walk adventure. He will be ready to do that with them. He will give excellent care to your dog and follow even the most complicated instructions. You can’t go wrong with David.

I am an experienced hiker and can provide several daily walks, playtime, and amazing cuddles. I am passionate about communication as I know being from your pet can be hard! I grew up around dogs and cats and have handled several different personalities and behaviors. I offer flexible and attentive pet care designed to fit your pet’s needs and your schedule. I work as a local yoga instructor and am only out of the house for 3 hours at the most! Safety: I prioritize your pet’s well-being with secure gear, attentive walks, and close monitoring of their health and surroundings. Trust: I build lasting bonds with both pets and owners through consistency, compassion, and clear communication—with regular updates and honest care. Comfort: I create a calm, loving environment by following your pet’s routines and tailoring care to their unique personality and needs.

Rowen took care of my dearest little Neo while me and my fiance were on our honeymoon. He had so much fun with them and is so excited everytime we have Rowen take care of him. Rowen sent lots of pictures of him at the dog park and on walks and napping. 10/10 pet sitter

Sara has been great! She’s a super sweet girl and does great with our dog Rosey. I can always tell the walk durations are good as Rosey is always very tired by the end of them and well played with!!!

About: I have lived in a home with 10 dogs my entire life. Due to this, I've learned the skills that are needed to care for furry friends big and small. I have a great dane puppy and a senior lab in the same home and can confidently manage the needs of any pup you have. Not only have I cared for my own animals, but animals of my friends, coworkers, and employers. I have been trusted by many members of my community to provide pet care that meets whatever needs you may have! I am currently a student at the University of California Santa Cruz and have plenty of time between and after classes to spend with your pup. There is nothing I enjoy in this world more than being with dogs and ensuring they are safe and secure. I step into every home with the intent to treat your dogs as my own, I promise to provide your animal and home with the respect they deserve. Whatever standards you may have, I ensure you I will excel past them.

Kaila is an excellent care giver, in the past she has taken care of my cats and I was very satisfied with their care. She is good at playing with them, taking into account their dietary needs, and changing the litter. She is very sweet with them and both of my cats absolutely adore her, I am confident that any pets and pet parents will be satisfied with the care that Kaila provides.
