Pet Sitting Redwood Estates

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals all my life! I rescue animals when I can, have fostered, bottle fed, treated injuries, given injections and medications to many animals. Animals are my comfort zone- just being around them is my joy! I can do short walks, herding dog games, feed, or provide overnight care. I especially love herding and other working breed dogs, and typically get along with even difficult animals (feral cats for example!) I would love to meet you and your pets! I am a recently retired high school teacher sill working part time at UCSC, so am available most days to care for your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 kitties at home, bit can easily help out pet parents who need extra walks, play time, or vacation care! My pets are my family (fur babies!) i will care for your pets like my own! I can care for your pets in your home- the least stressful for them! Or take them to a park, hikes, or a leisurely walk. In your home I will make sure to keep everything tidy, and treat your pets as my family- lots of snuggles and playtime!

“Elizabeth did an amazing job taking care of our cats! She went above and beyond to ensure the cats were comfortable, well fed, and entertained - and even came for additional days during an unexpected heat wave. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you Elizabeth!”

About: For the last 6 years I have had different friends and family rely on me for dog, cat, and rabbit care. I have been responsible for scheduled feedings, bathing, walks, and of course playing and quality time. My goal is always to be communicative, reliable, and adaptable to any and all of your pets individual needs. I currently work full-time in retail with a schedule that varies per week, but would love to use any of my free time and days off to spend with pets. All shifts are 8 hours or less and I am more than willing to make time before or after (or both) any of my shifts. My biggest priority in any situation is to remain communicative and careful, as I understand what it’s like to have your pet in somebody else’s care. In cases of pet-sitting in your home I can be trusted to be respectful of all belongings, keeping a clean space, and going above and beyond care instructions. In cases of boarding in my home, I live in a two story house in the hills of Scotts Valley with two other animal-loving housemates. We have a large fenced backyard on a hill and plenty of hiking trails nearby to stay active.

About: I've owned dogs for 15 years and have taken care of different dogs for the past 5 years. Previously helped train one dog. Used to taking care of senior dogs who need extra care like medication application. Currently working part time, so have plenty of time on Tuesdays and Thursdays to do drop ins and take care of and play with your dog(s)! I plan to keep strong communication with you about boundaries and how to best take care of your pup, since you know them best! I ask multiple questions to make sure everything I do is alright with you if unsure.

“Excellent with my cats!”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.

“Riya was an effective communicator and took great care of our 10 year old fur baby. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Alexa, and I absolutely love animals! I have grown up around pets and currently have a cat and a German Shepherd of my own. I also previously had an English Mastiff, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they can sometimes need. I have experience dog walking for many different families, doing drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and house sitting for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I haven’t personally cared for every type of animal, I am responsible, trustworthy, and very willing to carefully follow any instructions you provide. I’m always happy to learn about your pet’s specific routine, needs, and preferences. I recently graduated high school with a 4.67 GPA and will be attending Washington University in St. Louis next year. I’m dependable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously, but most importantly, I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets as if they were my own. I work a daily job from noon until the evening, so I’m most available in the mornings. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care before noon, especially if your pet is sensitive to heat and only takes morning walks! I may not be able to personally stay with a pet 24/7 every day, but I can accommodate pets who are comfortable being alone for part of the day. For boarding, I also have family members in my home who can be with your pet while I’m at work, so your pet will have someone around and will not be left alone for the entire day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and needs beforehand to make sure I can provide the right level of care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine, instructions, and boundaries. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and get some energy out. I also have an older German Shepherd and a cat, so I’m very familiar with having multiple pets in the home and making sure everyone is comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and trustworthy, and I will always follow your instructions carefully. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I have caring for them. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and senior dogs who may need a little more attention and care. I also have experience with dogs through years of dog sitting for family and friends. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. I have experience with puppies and doing basic trainings for them as well. I currently work part time, so I have a lot of time to adventure with your pup or relax at home as well! The max time puppy would be alone is 2 hours and if they cannot be alone I can make arrangements for that as well. I have no backyard but I do have a small porch, I am a highly active person and love to walk and hike and go to fun places like the beach that I will take your pup along! Inside home we have plenty of room to play, cuddle and maybe some fun trainings.

About: I am a responsible, nurturing and kind individual who loves all animals. I have owned small dogs, large dogs, a cat, aquatic pets, and taken care of many of my friends', family members' pets and been referred to many to care for their dogs and cats. In my last relationship I took full responsibility for three large dogs, one which was a rescue adopted as a puppy, (feeding, administering medications, training, exercise, bathing, grooming, vet visits) for about 5 years. I am currently working part-time and taking a break from school while I prepare to apply to a health profession program. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and overnight care. Because of my flexible availability, I can devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they stay on their normal routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and companionship. I look forward to working with you and providing your pet with the compassionate, dependable care they deserve while you're away! I provide loving, reliable pet care in your home using your pet's own supplies to help keep their routine as normal as possible. I use the food, treats, toys, bedding, leashes, litter, medications, and any other pet essentials you provide, so I don't bring my own pet supplies. This helps your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. I live in a quiet, small neighborhood with about 0.75 acres of yard space and keep a clean, tidy home with plenty of room for pets to roam and relax. If boarding or daycare is arranged at my home, I will use any pet supplies you provide to maintain your pet's routine and comfort. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

About: I love all animals and love to interact and care for them. Animals are part of our family and needed to be treated as such.

“Another terrific set of services from Denise while we were on vacation. All went well and smoothly. Denise sent us pics, which our other pet-sitter did not, and we enjoyed (and felt comforted) seeing that all was well while we were away. Thanks for your help, Denise!”
