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 am in Redwood Estates, in the Santa Cruz mountains. 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 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!

“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!”

“They took good care of our cats, who seemed to like them (which is saying a lot for cats). They took time to play with and groom the cats after they ate. We would hire them again.”

“Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby”

About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks. Prefer low shedding dogs. I am a full time dog sitter/ tutor, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (5.5 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 15). My husband works from home 2 times a week as well.

About: I’ve taken care of and owned animals of all kinds since childhood. Taught and trained by my mother, who’s been a vet tech for over 40 years! I have extensive knowledge of proper pet care practices and continue to keep up to date with all the latest information and research. I have experience handling, training, and caring for pets of various sizes and breeds; including large-small dogs, senior dogs & cats, puppies & kittens, and high needs pets! If your fur baby has behavioral issues or quirks, needs daily medication, and/or has strict dietary guidelines, you can trust that your pets special needs will be met to your standards while in my care! I work part time as a creative professional and musician with a relatively flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet family! If I’m scheduled for a pet care service, I will dedicate the time necessary to fulfill those duties happily I am a very attentive, intuitive, and patient person with both humans and pets. I pride myself on being organized, structured, and honest in home & work environments, and have always lived by the golden rule of leaving a place better than you found it! If the service you choose requires daily and/or overnight stays at your home, you can rely on me to treat your home and pet/s with all the respect and care it deserves.

“Johnell was wonderful with Scout. She stayed in communication with us and Scout was super happy and relaxed, as evident when we came home. Thank you!”

About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while they are away. I am looking forward to doing same for your family. I'm currently working on a limited basis so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I am available weekends and most weekdays. I have a fenced-in yard. I can easily crate your dog. My children are ready to give your dog extra love and walks. We love to go on walks.

“Katy is awesome! We needed a last minute drop-in sitter over the holidays and she was quick to respond. She was on time for our first meeting and did a great job at ignoring our anxious dogs until they became used to her. She also came for a second meeting just to walk the dogs and go over last minute instructions. This was our first time using rover and a dog-sitter we did not know. Katy is confident, compassionate, and hard working and we will definitely be using her to care for our sweet neurotic dogs again. They love her and we appreciate knowing they are in good hands.”

About: I grew up with rats, fish, cats, and dogs of all sizes (mostly on the larger side, 75 lbs+). One dog I had had diabetes and cancer and I helped with giving him insulin and providing close care every day. I've repeatedly been asked to walk/pet-sit for family friends and neighbors who have had anything from a chihuahua to huskies. I also attend weekly training classes with my parents' dog so I can apply what I've learned to taking care of pets I meet. I currently have two cats, but I love hanging out with dogs too! I just moved back to the Bay Area after living in Chico, CA for school. I absolutely love animals and since I'm currently looking for a job, I knew it would be fun to help out other pet parents with their furry loved ones in the meantime. I currently live in a house with three cats, who I've had since they were 3 months old, and a large 2-yr old dog who needs walks twice a day. I've raised cats and kittens through foster care since high school and I take the dog to training once a week. If your pet needs medicine, I have experience giving insulin and getting stubborn pets to take pills.

About: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.

“She took great care of our pups! When she met them they warmed up to her really quickly which is a great sign! When we met her we knew instantly that it was a good match. She communicated very well and we were very comfortable leaving our babies is her hands. I highly recommend you book her!!!!! We are already planning our next booking!”

About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918 I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.

“Sara was amazing with our three cats when we went out of town. She spent time playing with all of them even our grumpy hard to find kitty. She kept us updated on the weather so we could make sure they kept cool during a surprise heatwave and made sure we knew all the changes in the house while we were gone. I highly recommend her to care for your pets, she truly treats them as her own.”

About: Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a sitter I have over 9 years of experience caring for a variety of pets. I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your family members. As a former dog mom I have over 20 years of experience, and years of experience fostering stray cats in Brazil. I offer daily walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of affection. My home is pet friendly, with a secure outdoor space where dogs can run and play. I also provide cozy areas for cats to lounge and explore. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. That’s why I prioritize open communication, sending regular updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note: I have children who are kind, respectful, and experienced around animals. They enjoy interacting with pets - playing fetch or engaging with playful cats using toys. Also, they are happy to give space to pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment. Whether you need a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I’m here to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I look forward to becoming your trusted pet sitter :) I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I do ask that pets are comfortable around children, as I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home. Our family loves going on walks, and we have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and our children. They are welcome in and out of the house.
