About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family and Hilo goes most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.


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!

Nieves S.
“Hello Rover, Of course with every pet parent our fur babies are our families. We want the best for them and worry if they are well taken care of and safe. We need not worry with Nieves S. As she is a calm, kind, loving person. We had her stay at our house with Abby our boxer. Not only was I at ease and felt confident that my baby girl was in good company with Nieves; She also took care of my house as well. We were abroad for over 3 weeks and she left the house immaculate and Abby obviously missed her company. She is trustworthy and reliable. The saying is true “ our dogs know if you have a good soul”. Nieves S would be a valuable member to your organization. Sincerely Rita Sutton and Abby🐾”
