“Annelliese is lovely and so kind with our dogs. She's knowledgeable about training and did some leash training with our dogs when she stayed. She sent wonderful pictures and left everything clean - she even left us a nice-smelling candle when she left. We highly recommend Annelliese and look forward to her status with our dogs again!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since middle school, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. I’m experienced with all types of dogs and can confidently support any behavioral needs they may have. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special attention, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday. I am willing to tend to your loved one(s) before work, during my lunch break and after work! I am available weekends as well. Willing to be flexible depending on your schedule and your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick to their regular routines—walks, meals, playtime, and potty breaks—to help them feel at ease. I have experience with multiple pets and can manage different personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills and special feeding. I’m available for overnight stays and will treat your home with care and respect, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can travel worry-free.

“Diana was great with my dog! She understood his behavior and handled him really well. She took him on so many walks to the park that I'm sure he wishes I would go away and leave him with her more often!”


“Malia is our go-to for house-sitting whenever we're away. She takes care of our 62 lb extremely energetic dog and 8 month old kitten. She goes above and beyond and takes care of everything! Love her! Thank you!”


“Leslie was a wonderful sitter! She was so responsive and quick to schedule a meet and greet. She was very kind and accommodating for our super anxious dog who likes to hide in the closet. We felt great on our trip knowing the pets were in good hands.”


“Kristine was the best! She sent photos and our little guy looked happy and not stressed out. She went beyond taking care of him. Our flight was delayed and she was able to still give him his last dose of medication. Also it was nice having her at the house during the day. It made Tony get use to her. Thank you so much. We now know we have someone to help us out!”


“Rose is the absolute best! Our animals are challenging but she took the greatest care of them. And she left our house in perfect condition with the plants watered and happy. Thank you Rose!”


“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”



“Chloe took great care of my cattle dog who can be intense. She gave me a detailed summary of their night which I really appreciated. I would be happy to use her services again in the future.”


“Highly recommend Donna as both a dog and house sitter. My plants did better while I was gone than when I'm at home, the house was perfectly clean, and I got lots of sweet photos during our time away. Donna responds quickly to messages, shows up on time, and was willing to put in the time to get to know our reactive pup. So grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”


“Lara just watched our very adolescent dog for the first time and absolutely smashed it out of the park! Lara was thoughtful, communicative, and went above and beyond. We also came home to a spotless house! I’ll definitely be using Lara again in the future”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities. From raising two pit bulls from puppies through their senior years to currently caring for my energetic husky, I have hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds. Since I was 14, I’ve been the go-to dog walker and sitter for neighbors, friends, and family—trusted to walk, feed, bathe, and even help train their pets. I’m comfortable giving medication, handling senior dogs with special needs, and making sure every pup feels loved and secure. Your dog will be in caring, patient, and experienced hands! I’m currently working an internship at Tesla in Palo Alto, CA, Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. My schedule is flexible because I split my time between working remotely and in the office. This allows me to provide midday walks, evening care, and lots of attention on weekends. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits in the afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. Your pup will always have someone attentive around! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is for dogs to be in their own home, where they feel most relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I keep your dog’s routine consistent, whether that means regular walks around the neighborhood, playtime, or simply quiet company. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs—whether they’re energetic or like their alone time—and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. You can trust that your pup will be treated like family, happy and safe until you return. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’m here to provide the same gentle, loving care I’d want for my own dogs. Can’t wait to meet your pup.

“Lisa was an amazing dog sitter and house sitter! She gave us daily updates and photos of our doggo. Seeing that she was with Fonsi throughout the day, playing and snuggling, put our hearts at ease while we were traveling. During the two weeks that we were gone Lisa helped water our plants and even called the city when there was an unexpected sewer problem. She really put her heart into caring for our doggy and our home. We were super lucky to have found her and will definitely be using her again!”


“Oh my, we hit the jackpot finding Samantha. She was absolutely outstanding taking care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats. Especially as our older dog has cancer and she took him to our vets when she was concerned. Our home was left beautifully clean as we had left it. I hope we have a long relationship together ... she is a gem!”


About: My husband and I love dogs.... when our beloved Yorkie died a few years ago and we retired early from city government, we decided to focus our love on caring for other people's dogs in their homes. We now have several on-going sit relationships in central California and are happy to have so many dogs in our lives that feel like grand babies to us! If you're interested in establishing an on-going relationship with us, to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible when you have to leave town, hit us up! Our preference is to work with 1 or 2 older/more relaxed dogs, that can be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. We lean towards being home bodies, but we enjoy going on walks/outtings, having play time and lots of snuggles. If we seem like a simpatico match to care for your pup, please reach out for our availability! We have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs/timing with plenty of notice. We enjoy exploring new areas and are happy to have your dogs show us all their favorite spots to hang out! Rather than upend your dog's routine on top of you being out of town, we will come to you! We are willing/able to handle any morning/evening routines (food/water, oral meds, walks, potty needs) and your dog can sleep with us if so inclined.


“Aiyana did a wonderful job taking care of a full house of animals (3 dogs & a cat) for 6 days. She followed care instructions and left our home tidy. We definitely recommend her services”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I would pet-sit my neighbors' furry babies mainly because I wasn't allowed to have pets at home, so that was my way of being around these amazing creatures. I have lived in homes with dogs and cats and finally have my own. My husband and I trained our pups ourselves. We both work from home and have pretty flexible schedules, which is excellent for providing your fur babies the care and attention they deserve. We are both loving and caring people and look forward to caring for your pet. Our main goal is to ensure you feel at ease leaving your precious pet in our care. Although we don't have a fenced yard, we live in a very safe area. We have ample space to play with the dogs. We can easily crate your dog if needed. They are allowed on the couches and in bed. Your furry friend will be treated and cared for as one of ours.

About: Hello, as a long time local of Boulder Creek; I pride myself on being a pet lover and care taker. My motherly instincts are essential to making your pet feel loved and cared for. I cater my pet clientele’s schedule as much as possible. I am very open to any time slot as long as I have the availability. My pets get spoiled with attention and affection, while maintaining a strict food diet because I understand that a diet is essential to a long happy life.

“Erika and Troy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs Sammy and Coal. They communicated throughout their sit with us, to include our pups at play. We have large dogs and not everyone can handle them with ease. Troy and Erika did just fine with them, including many snuggles and walks (beach and park). They took great care of our home and left it spotless. They also watered some of our picky outside potted plants. I would not hesitate to have them back. You are in great hands with these great folks!”
