“Oliver did great with Jenna and her family. When I picked him up he was very happy, in good spirits, and loved hanging out with all of them. He got lots of play time and was all tuckered out when I picked him up. They were all very kind and I could tell they had fun with him. I would highly recommend Jenna and her family. :)”
2. Lisa S.
“Lisa is the best, she watched Percy for the second time on such short notice and he had a blast. Thank you again :)”
3. Melissa C.
“Melissa was an excellent sitter for our senior dog Meatloaf. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates and photos of him through the day. Her place has lots of outdoor space for them to explore. It's clear that she really enjoys getting to know each dog and is very responsive to their needs. He was so excited to see her the second day!”
4. Yajaira C.
“I could not recommend Yajaira enough! She took great care of my dog, Toby. She sent so many photos and updates, it was amazing. I rested well on my time away knowing Toby was in great hands.”
5. Kayla R.
“Kayla was great with Pan! I left him with her 4 days in a row and he was super excited to see her by day 2. She was enthusiastic, consistent with pictures, and clearly enjoyed him. Would hire again!!”
6. Angelina R.
“Angelina did such a fabulous job at making Summer feel comfortable and right at home! Summer is new to daycare and is usually anxious but she wasn’t this time. Summer really enjoyed playing with Angelina’s pups and getting loads of attention.”
7. Denise D.
“Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.”
8. Julie A.
“Thanks Julie! She was so gracious to watch our two fur babies while we enjoyed Santa Cruz. She was available same day for 6-hours. She provided updates and photos of them playing. Thanks so much and highly recommended!”
9. Nancy K.
“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”
10. Ryan E.
“Ryan was awesome, he came through for us at the last minute and totally understood our situation. We needed someone to hang out with Dale for a few hours while we checked out the Boardwalk, and Ryan was super patient with him and took him for a walk. If you're heading to the Boardwalk and need someone to watch your pet since they're not allowed there, Ryan is your guy.”
11. Shannon C.
“"I have entrusted Shannon with the care of my dog on numerous occasions, and I cannot speak highly enough of her services. She is exceptionally reliable and has a natural affinity with dogs that truly sets her apart. Shannon’s attention to detail and deep understanding of canine behavior make her a standout caregiver. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her capable hands. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone seeking a responsible, compassionate, and skilled dog caregiver." You will not only get Shannon in this deal, her entire family will lovingly help with all that your dog requires(meds, walks, & tummy rubs).”

About: Offering doggy daycare as well as overnight boarding for folks visiting Santa Cruz for the weekend! Drop pup off with me and enjoy the Boardwalk (no dogs allowed) and other attractions while your pup is close by. I have done puppy training, dog training, dog agility and training/jumping with horses as well! Have done senior care as well, for our old blind dog that passed (of cancer) at the end of last year at 14 years of age. I have a friendly 1.5 year old large Shepard mix that would love to run around in the backyard with your pup. He gets daily walks to Its Beach to play with his doggy friends there as well (best dog park there is!) I have a 5 1/2 year old daughter that is great with dogs and would love to play fetch with those pups that love it! I have a fenced yard with a nice lawn to run around on and access to clean running water for the dogs all day long. I have an outdoor warm shower too if pups needs any kind of bath from beach play or the like.
13. Kevin B.
“Kevin is a conscientious and compassionate human who cares deeply about animals. I have witnessed him interacting with various animals for the first time, as a "stranger," and all were able to quickly warm up to him and trust him. I have seens both cats and dogs fall asleep in his lap, including one cat who knew him well and loved to sprawl out with her belly all the way exposed, totally trusting him! In addition to cats and dogs, Kevin has experience caring for tropical fish, coral, hermit crabs, and reptiles; he is a true animal lover and I would trust him with my pets again any day!”
14. Lauren J.
“Lauren was a great sitter and took great care of my boy! She sent me updates throughout the day and I could tell he was a happy dog. Highly recommend!”
15. karen d.
“Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.”
16. Desiree Y.
About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.
17. Marta B.
“Marta did a fantastic job at watching our dog multiple times when my wife and I would go out of town. She boarded our dog, took him on walks to various parks and hiking trails, and she was very easy to get a hold of to see how our dog was doing. I wish we had a good dog sitter here in Texas like Marta.”
18. Anya K.
“Anya was so nice. We needed a one-day dog sit while my family went to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, Anya met us at the Boardwalk and walked our doggy away for a nice 5 hour session. She was very prompt picking up and on the return, she made everything super easy!”
19. Marina A.
“Blue enjoyed her latest visit with Marina, as always. We know Blue is very well taken care of when she’s with Marina. Lots of walks and love are Blue’s favorite things, and Marina delivers.”
20. Eva J.
“I needed a last minute sitter and Eva was able to take in my dog to watch for the evening! She is a gem and she took such good care of him. He had a blast and got all the love and attention in her care. 10/10 recommend her to watch your furry friend!”
