“Hailey was a great sitter for my cat crepe! She always took tons of pictures for me to see and gave her lots of attention, as well as cleaning up after her and making sure everything was in order at my apartment. She’s great at communicating quickly with any questions or concerns she had. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Jennifer was amazing with our cat Maca! From the start, she was super sweet and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond every day — sending us updates, photos, and making sure Maca was happy and taken care of. It was such a relief knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. Maca is a shy cat with new people and we really appreciated Jennifer’s patience in making her feel comfortable and gaining her trust while we were gone. We would 100% book again with Jennifer and highly recommend!”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and have cared for my own dog for 13 years now. Along with dogs I have owned/cared for cats, rats, and lizards. When I was younger I worked on a farm and developed a deep love for animals. I live a very active lifestyle and would be stoked to take your pet out for walks, runs, hikes, and beach day swimming! I have a large vehicle which has easy transportation for bigger dogs. I take the time to establish a genuine connection with your pet and want to foster a bond built on mutual understanding and respect. Having trust from you and your pet is an important relationship to have. I want you to be sure that your furry loved one and your home is being taken care of in the safest and best way possible for you. I am a full time worker and van-lifer. My home is on wheels which makes it easy to move around to meet your home sitting needs. My normal work week is Monday-Friday in Capitola. I’m not able to host animals in my home. Coming to your home is the best option, and making your pet feel safe and comfortable is #1!

About: I worked as a full-time dog walker with a small company in San Francisco for 5+ years and am looking to expand my love for animals to Santa Cruz! I was trusted with the keys/codes to hundreds of families homes and, driving in a panel van, picked up around 8-13 dogs at a time to bring them to an off leash dog park for hour long walks. I have worked with all kinds of dogs; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who require extra care. Eg. Separation anxiety, difficult leash/socialization manors, and dogs with special needs/diets. I would absolutely love to take care of your good boys/girls, so long as you don't mind the excessive photos I may take/send while they're under my watch! 😉 Any Weekday or weekends, Anytime! I recently relocated to Santa Cruz so at this moment in time I have nearly full availability! I would prefer to keep walks between 10am-8pm, but very flexible. I have 7+ years of experience in dog care, including working at a boarding facility with 20+ dogs at a time, so I am very confident and capable of making snap decisions under pressure if/when necessary. Also more than happy to help with any basic training/ recall training needed!

About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.

“Nohemi went above and beyond taking care of our pets during an excessive heat wave while we were out of town. Thanks for everything Nohemi!”

About: My family had a Golden Retriever ("Biscuit") approximately the same as as me, and we got her as a puppy! Every since then, dogs have been a big part of my life. My wife and I currently have an adorable Great Pyrnees/Collie/Shepherd/etc. mix named Maggie. Maggie was born in December 2020 and gets along with ALL dogs. I work from home and own my own business, so have a flexible schedule. I work in the travel business, so as long as I'm in Santa Cruz, I'd be happy to help you out! My home has a large, fenced-in yard. We are super close to the beach too, if your dog likes that. I go on walks frequently, so would love to bring your dog along! We have a baby and are with him at all times, but something to note.
