I've had dogs my whole life (30 yrs). I've cared for dogs in the Santa Cruz area for about 10 years. I will keep your dog safe from other dogs, cars, and anything you can think of. I am a pharmaceutical scientist by trade and I am doing rover because I love dogs not for monetary gain. I am available at any time via my phone or email. Santa Cruz is a very dog friendly place, as long as you can stay away from the bad dog parks and bums. I can also take care of puppies, personally I've taken care of 4+ litters. Additionally I can send video updates of the dogs. I can also follow strict diet restrictions. Lastly I can take care of older dogs as well. I don't mind cleaning up.
