“Denise took great care of our kitty while we were away a few weeks. She was dedicated and came over a few times before the stay to ensure she could administer the medication. She worked hard to win his love and it’s clear she’s a true animal lover!”

Emily H.

“She was great. Very responsible Our dog really liked her”

David M.

“This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience with Lisa! She came to meet our cats before our trip and made sure to send photos when she checked in on them each day. Would absolutely recommend her and use her in the future!”

Kelsey K.

“Melanie is an amazing sitter, we have been using her for a while and continues to be our go to sitter. She is so thorough during her visits and in her card notes, we feel at ease leaving our senior, diabetic kitty in her care. In our latest time away, our cat got sick, repeatedly, and she cleaned up everything and let us know how he was doing. She even spoke with our vet and found ways to make our kitty more comfortable until we got back. She goes above and beyond and treats our pet as her own!”

Sarah H.

“Jonathan did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away for a week. He is very communicative and we enjoyed the Rover cards he sends. We also had a few unexpected events happen while we were away - he was able to handle them well and make sure our kitties were fine. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: With 4 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m certified in dog CPR and have multiple dog handling certifications, which means your pup’s safety is always my top priority. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and extra love. I treat every dog like my own, with respect, understanding, and lots of belly rubs! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a kennel technician, so I’m already caring for animals daily feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, administering meds, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Outside of that, I make time each week for pet sitting and drop-in visits. My schedule fluctuates so I always try to work my schedule around yours! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In clients' homes, I stick closely to your pet’s routine regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any house rules you’ve set. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own space while keeping you updated with photos and messages. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet time to relax. I limit the number of animals I care for at once to make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first, no matter where they are.

About: Hello there! My name is Cath and my partner Brian and I live in Aptos,. I truly love taking care of all kinds of animals, I have had dogs and cats all my life and I am attuned to their needs and varying personalities. I have 5 years professional pet sitting experience and I been a dog mom to large dogs for 10+ years. Brian has been a dog parent to large dogs for 30 years. We are always the person that my friends, co-workers and neighbors come to when their dogs or cats need care. We both love spending time outside in nature, hiking, and keeping an active lifestyle your pet will enjoy. We do not own any pets, so we are always looking forward to having new companions to welcome into our home. We love to take dogs outside to explore nature, play a game of fetch, beach romps, and redwoods hikes. We are experienced with dogs from puppies to elders, especially with senior dogs. We can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! We are available for long weekends and most holidays. Our guest dogs stay, nap and play in an open environment. We want to know what would make a fun and happy stay for your dog. We live in the fog belt along the coast so it stays nice and cool here when its hot everywhere else. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: We to keep your dogs patterns as close to the way they are at home as possible. If your dog sleeps in their own bed or crate we will honor that. Typically their bed is in our room or the living room. We allow dogs on our bed, and have a dedicated dog couch so they can relax in the living room and are treated like a member of the family. My partner Brian’s schedule has recently changed so we can only board weekends, or possibly over a long weekend: We can take a Friday evening drop off at 5pm earliest, and can schedule a Monday morning pickup until 10 am or so. We live in a quiet, low-traffic beach neighborhood of Aptos, with a front and back fenced in yard, a two minute walk to a dog friendly beach, and 5 minute drive to a redwoods state park. The backyard is shared with my awesome neighbor who own a dog. The backyard has a fence that is split down the middle, and he is kept on his side of the fence. He is only let outside occasionally, under supervised conditions. We do not allow guests dogs into the backyard when he is present, until we have had time to properly introduce them. He is friendly, but we always take care to introduce dogs. Our front yard has a low fence so our guest dogs are only allowed in the front yard under supervision, the backyard has a much higher fence, and we have a sliding glass door so they can go outside easily. We can crate your dog if needed. Both yards have shade, flower gardens, and are wonderful places to take a nap in the sun.

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!

About: Hi! I’m Shawna — Unlike a regular dog walker, I provide one hour structured walk/runs to safely burn excess energy and reinforce calm leash behavior — ideal for high-drive dogs. I specialize in structured walks (working with dogs that pull the leash) and 2+ mile minimum walk/runs to help dogs burn energy and feel calm. I’m comfortable with strong-willed or high-energy pups. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, consistent leash guidance, or a good run, I bring calm, confident energy and real experience. Some dogs thrive on variety! If you’d like your pup to enjoy the beach, trails, or a park, I offer 1hr adventure outings starting at $120. This includes transport up to one hour drive time round trip, a safe and fun outdoor experience, and drop-off back home. Extra driving is billed at $60/hr (not including my own commute). Let me help your dog stay happy, tired, and well-exercised. A tired dog is a happy dog. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I have a high-energy cattle dog of my own, so daily walks, playtime, and structure are built into my routine. I’m also a runner, so exercising dogs through long walks or runs fits naturally into my schedule — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my days around being active and outside, which makes it easy for me to give pets the time, attention, and movement they need I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. I’ll respect your space, keep things clean, and communicate clearly while you’re away. I always aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and calm while you’re gone — and make the transition as stress-free as possible for both of you

About: I love animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, geckos, etc. My kids have left home and I have the time to care for your sweet fur-babies. I work from home 3 days a week and can easily help with your pet care needs on those days and on any given weekend. I offer pet walking, potty breaks, feeding, socializing, boarding and very limited grooming (brushing if needed). Your pet stays in the room with me as I work and we go for walks or into the yard as instructed by you.

About: As a dog mommy and Mom of two kiddos, I’d love to be there to make your week a little easier! I am in love with all breeds, and love supporting dogs of all ages..Life with pups is just better ! I really enjoy getting to know your pet and giving them the personalized care, attention and exercise they need. I currently work part time so I have Mondays available, Tuesday afternoons Fridays and Sundays available! Need a sitter during holidays or while you are on vacation? My flexible mornings and evenings let me be there to feed and tuck them in as well. I have a dog friendly car or can simple walk your dog in your neighborhood if you prefer them staying close to home! Happy to take your dog to a quiet area if they get overstimulated easily and willing to bring treats ;)

About: Animals feel our energy and respond accordingly. I am truly an animal lover. My first dog was a West Highland White Terrier which lived to be 18 years old. She was a happy girl. Each animal, loved one, should be treated with love and care. I am currently available for dog waking seven days a week. My schedule is flexible allowing me to be available to give your babies lots of love and attention. Pets' safety is always number one. I give each baby undivided attention and lots of love. Providing an environment of trust and comfort is the key to creating a lasting relationship.

“Dayanara was amazing! She took great care of my two cats, one of which is a very high energy kitten! She also left our house spotless. We will definitely be asking her to watch our cats again!!”

About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care and when school resumes come the New Year, I will be available part time + still available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since June 2024 I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy operation which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.

Animals are my favorite, I love hanging out with them and playing with them. I have a part-time job so I do have free time to help out in anyway I can and take care of your cute animals! I make sure my dog has plenty of water before I leave for any reason and make sure he gets fed on time. I make sure he gets plenty of attention and love! I will do the same for yours!!
