Cat Sitting Paradise Park

“Samantha was awesome! We had some issues with flights and she was great in helping us out with our pup.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. I am a go to pet sitter for all of my family, friends, and others I am recommended to. I am currently a full time student. I can take care of your pets before, between, and after classes. I have plenty of time to make at home visits and plenty of time for walks/enrichment! I do not have any pets here in Santa Cruz, but my first priority is ensuring your pets are safe and well taken care of!

About: I’ve taken care of, and loved, animals since I was a child. Including my own family dog who is now 17, cats, chickens, and snakes. I recently graduated and am missing my puppy more than ever. While I can’t have pets of my own right now I’d love to help care for yours! I’m available afternoons, and evenings on weekdays, and all day on weekends. My work schedule is flexible and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and spacious house located within a lovely neighborhood with it’s own little hiking trail for your pet to explore.

About: I walked my rough collie for the 7 years we had him, and I've taken my friends' dogs on many walks. I took care of my dog as he got older and have immense patience with senior dogs. I'm familiar with different animals' body language and how pets communicate, allowing me to understand what your pet is asking for. I work part-time and have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I have reliable transportation and am happy to drive wherever is necessary. Dogwalking was the first thing I did in the morning and is my favorite way to start the day. In your home, I'm happy to care for your pet's feeding, litter boxes, playful interests, and any other specific needs your pet would like attended to.

“Lupita was awesome! I was worried about leaving my pup for the first time, but I got lots of photos and updates. Definitely would recommend and use again! Thanks so much!”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and family members’ pets since I was little, and been a reliable and trustworthy caretaker. I have been caring for dogs for five years, including elderly, deaf, and blind dogs. I understand the nuance to earning trust of shy or elderly pets. I have always loved animals and I have repeat clients that find me reliable and loved by their pets. My schedule is very open right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention and love they deserve. I have pets of my own at my home where I live with my parents, so I will care for your pets in your home, either staying at the house or doing drop-ins. I am clean and respectful and I love spending time with animals, respecting and getting to know them on their terms.

“Jenni was just wonderful and did a great job taking care of our kitties for 5 days. She made 2 very nervous cat parents feel ok about taking a trip knowing that they were in good hands 🙌🏻 😊”

About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.

“Yasmin is amazing! I felt so comfortable being away with my dogs in her care. I received great updates with each drop-in. She’s a great communicator and I would not hesitate to hire her!”

“Jasmine was so amazing! She provided excellent care to my cats while I was away and sent many photos which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My entire family love animals so I have had a variety of pets throughout my life. I have had fish, a dog, a cat, and a turtle! I love pets and I would love to help others with theirs!!! I dog sit for my family members when they need me to. As a student I have a lot of flexibility in my day to day schedule to take care of pets! My longest classes are an hour and half. I make sure there’s spaces in my schedule to have time to check in on the pets I’m caring for. I care for pets in a very caring way, I am very patient and calm. I try to feel the pets vibe so I match their energy and not overwhelm them. I would say I am also a very playful person if the pet is open to play.

About: I’m a 21 year old college graduate looking to fulfill her hopes of pet setting once again! Being a full time student meant busy weeks, leaving no time for pet care. Something I actively did before transferring to UCSC. But with this newfound, post-graduate freedom, I’m eager to get back into the gig. Besides caring for my own kitties, I’ve worked with 7 clients over the past four years. All of which have been dog sitting gigs, with one job including an additional 3 cats (if that makes sense haha). And in my time as a sitter I’ve had four consistent clients. Additionally, I’m more than willing to sit for most dogs/ cats regardless of age, size, energy level, etc. It is my job (and such a privilege) to ensure their needs are met! Worth a mention - I’ve not had any experience in pet training, but I’m committed to being the best companion to the little loves! I can’t wait to connect with you and your fur-babies! I’m hoping to fill my week days (which are fairly open as of late) with pet care! Connecting with animals is truly such a rewarding job. Knowing I can make your life easier, and also that your pets are happy fills my heart with oodles of joy. My housing agreement unfortunately states that I can’t allow pets on to the premises. However, I’m extremely comfortable staying in/ visiting other spaces. Being respectful of your space is one of my top priorities.

“Miranda did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was very professional and attentive when we met. Our dog was happy and healthy after several days under Miranda's care”

“Mámoo is great with my husky, and getting her to play and fetch. Mámoo is definitely one of my dog’s favorite rovers. I like that they take feedback and adjusted the session to push my dog a little more to exert more energy. Great rover.”

About: Hi there! I love dogs and would love to have one of my own but have to settle for dog sitting since I don’t have a big place for any right now. I have had my account rover account in the past that I’d be happy to share. Made a new account since sin moving locations. Please reach out with any questions! I’m part-time in college, so I have plenty of time. I’m free basically all day everyday. I’d be happy to dedicate my time to your cutie :). I enjoy taking long walks, which I’m sure your fur baby would be happy to tag along. In your house, I can drop by whenever you need, or even stay for long periods of time if needed.

About: I currently have 5 amazing big dogs that I’ve been taking care of since I was in middle school. I am patient, responsible, friendly, and caring. I am available for pet walking and drop ins Monday through Thursday at any time just before 4pm! I am also available every other weekend! I have 5 dogs myself who I care for everyday. I run or walk them multiple times a week and play with them at the house!

About: I have had experience with feeding my friends and neighbors cats when they were away on vacation, but nothing professional. I do not have any training skills, but have dealt with temperamental cats who do not like sharing their space. I have had dogs and cats in my family since I was a child. We had small dogs as well as medium/large dogs and cats. I currently have 2 cats at home! I work full time Monday - Friday so this would be causal meetings and walks. I can feed them dinner or hang with them on week nights. That could be playing with them at their home, taking them to a dog park, or taking them for a walk. My weekends are wide open and I can hang out with your little dude whenever you need :). Unless otherwise specified in my schedule! I live in a one bedroom apartment that is quite spacious with a patio. There are cat toys and scratch posts everywhere. The patio is a catio, which is equipped with cat towers and cat grass. I play fetch with my tempermental boy because it gets his energy out very quickly and he LOVES it. My girly girl is very easy and plays with almost anything. I am more than happy to play with your kitty however they would like. For dogs, I will hang out and play with them at their house or take them to a dog park to get fresh air and more room to run. Fetch is a favorite as well as tug of war! I can take them on long walks around the neighborhood or the beach if the owner is ok with that!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved taking care of them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for dogs. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my family’s and friends’ dogs over the years. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. On weekdays, I’m available before work until around 4 PM and again after work around 8:30–9 PM. On weekends, I’m available before 2 PM and after 9:30 PM. I’m happy to plan ahead around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, attention, feeding, walks, and potty breaks they need. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or anything else they need. I’ll treat your home with respect, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything clean and as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I've been taking care of animals for quite some time now! I have two senior dogs myself and snakes. I look forward to meeting you both! I usually have a routine with my senior puppies, therefore creating one that suits your dog's needs will be no problem at all! I'm flexible at the moment since it's summertime. I will follow the safety protocols! If there are any additional instructions or care needed that will be applied to the routine as well. Ensuring all doors and windows are locked while all food is put away.

“Cody is an awesome pet sitter! My cats adore him, and I feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. I know he’ll provide them with tons of love and attention, and keep up with their schedule perfectly. He’s super reliable and follows instructions well. I fully trust him to care for my kitties and my home while I’m away, and it brings me so much peace of mind to know he’s there! Thank you, Cody! You’re the best!”
