About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with pets, including bunnies, and I’ve had my Maltese, Marlin, since I was 10 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like family with plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to help care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m always available on weekends and love being able to spend quality time with animals 🐾 I’ll make sure your furry ones are always fed, have fresh water, and are well cared for. I’m very attentive and always clean up after them as needed. I treat every dog the same way I treat my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had two or three at a time—from Huskies, Malamutes, and wolf dogs to French Bulldogs, Border Collies, and Pit Bulls—so I learned early that every breed brings its own personality, challenges, and way of learning. Over the years, I’ve worked on the fundamentals with a wide variety of dogs and later had the opportunity to learn from an experienced trainer with a background in search and rescue, protection work, and advanced behavior training. That experience helped me expand my skills, understand dogs on a deeper level, and appreciate how much the right approach can change both a dog’s behavior and their future. Now I’m building something of my own. My goal is to keep learning, keep improving, and use the skills I’ve developed to help dogs become more confident, manageable, and successful in their homes. Most importantly, I hope to help give dogs with behavioral challenges a second chance—and keep as many as possible from being euthanized simply because they were misunderstood or never given the right training. I tend to favor weekends and over nights with my work schedule. However, flexibility is possible. Scheduling your pups appointments ahead will always be recommended! I work with both dogs and handlers/owners to facilitate better communication. Once a dog can communicate effectively with their human, a bond deeper than “the hand that feeds me” can develop.

About: I am a long term animal lover and trainer. 20 years experience with larger dog breeds. I have a flexible schedule and excellent references. Many years experience with Cats too. Will provide care and feeding, exercise and play, grooming and clean up. Can handle multiple pets. rates flexible depending on type of pets, number of pets and if overnight. I have local references upon request. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of flexible time available to spend giving your dogs, cats and farm animals the very best of care! I provide a complete variety of pet services in your home. I am overly cautious about safety in and out of the home. I take extra precautions when walking your dog near other dogs and with allowing pets outdoors where wild predators can be nearby. I am very aware of other dogs and will not allow to approach unless previously known. My availability changes. Sometimes I work remotely from home doing business office support for clients. This affects the type of pet care assignments that I may accept due to logistics and pet needs. I care for pets in your home only and take dogs on outings and employ daily frequent play and walks. Your pets get lots of attention!

“Naomi is the absolute best! I am so happy I found her. She always went out of her way to make each walk special for my dog and he loved her. He came home happy and tired every time. I highly recommend Naomi.”

“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”

“Shylynn is great. When I was walking Maggie the other morning I ran into a neighbor with her dog and she told how lovely she thought Shylynn was. In the pictures Shylynn sends me, Maggie always looks like she's really enjoying herself ”

About: We are an animal loving family and will treat your pup as our own when they come to stay with us. I am a full time mom to my 16 years old daughter and 3 years old English Springer spaniel, Chester. We have enough love and time to give to our prospective "new friends".

I have been dog owner (from small breeds to large) for several years and absolutely adored every moment with them. We treat dogs as a family members, they are allowed on the furniture and can lounge and sleep wherever they feel comfortable. Our house is located in Live Oak with a walking distance to the Harbor, Arana Gulch and Chanticleer dog park. We have a fenced in backyard to play around in. I am an active person so you can be assured your pup will be well taken care of for exercises. We love dogs dearly and love to spoil them! I will take great care of your dog while you are away and look forward to hearing from you.

About: I've been pet sitting for family and friends forever and like to say I am pretty reliable. I also have experience with farm animals as I have raised a few myself. Animals tend to like me, what can I say I have a way with them. I am currently a student at UCSC. My schedule is pretty set for the next 3 months. I am open to working holidays as my family don't celebrate. I have a smaller apartment that I share with others. One of my roommate is a fellow pet sitter. I have all the equipment required to care for another cat temporarily.

“It was a great first Rover experience for us fur parents and fur babies! Took care of my fur babies well. Very communicative. Thank you so much!”

“Shirley was very good with my 9 year old Siberian husky. Shirley was also able to work around my schedule which work out good for both of us. I would recommend Shirley for good pet care.”

“Alicia is great. My dogs can be apprehensive with strangers so I was a little nervous how it would go hiring a stranger to walk them. She was slow with them so they have learned to trust her. I'm very happy. Always on time and gives updates right away.”

About: I’ve pet sat for family and friends who had dogs , cats , and hamsters. I also have experience with guinea pigs and bunnies also. I am currently working a temporary part time. My schedule will be Mon-Friday after 3pm and I have weekend availability with flexibility if needed also. At my clients home I treat them with love and care. I make sure to be punctual and have their daily routine stay the same

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

“Christen arrived on time for our fur baby Pebbles walk. They enjoyed strolling through the neighborhood and she provided us with cute pictures along their walk. Pebbles enjoyed her time with Christen and will be looking forward to her next walk with her!”
