Cozy place to stay and play
Pet care experience
Hi there we have a great place convenient to Scott's Valley and Santa Cruz. We have a 3 year old dog who loves to play and hang out with other dogs. We generally go on a hike or bike ride every day and a couple days of the week we usually go down to one of the dog beaches. We also usually go to Sky park dog park or other dog parks. We don't have to do that if your dog doesn't like dog parks but we can also make sure to go if they really love it. I work from home but I travel for work. So when I am home I am generally home but my schedule is variable. Our house is back off the road and the whole back yard is deer fenced with squirrels and quails. I have had dogs since I was a kid. I have done years of training classes for dogs (mostly with working breeds). I have owned German Shepherds, Standard Poodles, and mixed breeds. I have also volunteered at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter working with both the adoptables and the strays to give them TLC. As part of this we have fostered dogs both overnight and while they needed time recuperating. I asked for the Meet & Greet so we can make sure Aya and your pooch 1) Meet on neutral ground 2) Check to make sure they get along Look forward to hearing from you!

Steven was amazing! After having to scramble last minute to find a doggysitter for Astro, Steven was extremely helpful and was able to step in and take care of him for a week on short notice. We met at a local dog park first to see if our pups got along and would be a great fit, and they did! We got great and funny pictures throughout the week we were gone, he asked all the questions you'd want someone taking care of your dog to ask before we left - and then Astro went on a week long awesome doggy vacation. I would highly recommend Steven, and his adorable dog Aya, to anybody. There's no better feeling than knowing the person looking after your dog is a trust-able, caring person, and Steven is just that. Thanks again, Steven!
I have a small dog who loves to be with people but has a little trouble listening. Steven was fantastic with my little guy. He showed him tons of affection while also helping him to learn some basic commands/rules. Whenever he took care of my dog he was always well exercised, properly fed and super happy! I highly recommend Steven and so does my little guy!
Steve took very good care of my dog Pippin. For Pippin, staying with Steve was like visiting a fun uncle. While I was away, Steve sent pictures of Pippin having the time of his life--he may have had a better vacation than I did. Steve followed my feeding intstuctions, and as for exercise -- Steve went above and beyond with Pippin. You can tell Steve genuinely loves dogs, and vice versa. It gave me great peace of mind to know my dog was not languishing in a cold kennel somewhere while I was traveling.
