Dylan was awesome and did an amazing job with Max. He kept me well updated throughout the drop ins and went above and beyond dealing with a bit of a stubborn pup and some unexpected mess. It was my first time having someone petsit that wasn't a family member, so I was uncertain how it would go, but it went great and I would definitely book Dylan again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for around nine years, I have experience with walking, feeding, keeping an eye on, and generally caring for pets. I have experience working with small puppies and large dogs. At the moment, I work part time in town and will have plenty availability to care for your pets. Usually I work about one day on the weekend so I will be available at all other times. At my home, I have experience handling my two standard poodles in a small enclosed backyard, I would be comfortable taking care of your dog in an enclosed environment or while on a leash.

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 grew up having a German Shepherd, but since it was a family pet I did not consider those as years in pet care. However, 2 years ago I got my own dog. I am certain I can take care of a puppy and older. Though my dog now stays with my parents since school has become difficult, I lived with her last year, so I know the amount of care an attention a dog needs on top of staying on track with my school work. I only work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but can be free after 5pm. Weekends can be free all day days. If you’re pet can’t be left alone for multiple hours then feel free to just send a message with your booking and let me know :) I promise I will take the absolute best care of your pet. I have had 2 dogs and 1 cat. I deeply care about all of them, so I know how hard it can be to trust a stranger to take care of a pet. If you have an questions or concerns please feel free to reach out!

About: I’ve had over 35 years experience caring for dogs, cats and even a couple bearded dragons. I’ve house trained 3 puppies and participated in training classes for both the dogs we currently have and a couple in the past. Over the years I’ve cared for countless pets for my friends and family and I’d love to care for yours. My husband and I own a small business so I work for myself and set my own hours which are minimal. I’m mom to two adult children so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m centrally located in Santa Cruz and I’d be happy to come to your house for dog walks or pet sitting. We have two friendly dogs and one cat at home to keep your dog company with a completely fenced in yard and plenty of time for frequent walks.

About: I grew up in a big home with 12 dogs, so caring for pets comes naturally. Your dog is in loving, experienced, and reliable hands, always! I currently have a part-time summer job during half the day, but I’m fully available in the evenings and nights. I also have two days off weekly, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the love and attention they need I treat every pet like they’re my own; no seriously, think belly rubs, baby voice, and full VIP treatment. Your pup’s safety, routine, and happiness? Locked in.

I'm currently working full-time at a school, but I'm available every weekday after 4 pm and all day on the weekends to stay the night :) I will respect your space and leave it as I found it. Communication is my top priority, so if there's an issue, I'll communicate my concern as soon as it presents itself.
