Cat Sitting in Santa Cruz

“Lupita was professional and kind. She set up a meet and greet and gave great care and plenty of picture updates on how Nova was doing during her care. She even made homemade dog treats! We will definitely be using her service again. Thank you so much 😊”

“Cabe was a great sitter! He consistently pet; walked; gave Rose her medicines and gave her so much love while we were away. He’s a great caretaker! Defined recommend!!”

“Miranda was absolutely the best rover! My cats were well cared for and I didn’t doubt they were in good hands. The photos and updates were very much appreciated. Would absolutely hire Miranda again.”

“Jules was such an amazing sit in for our pooch! She brings a ray of great personality and enthusiasm. Our dog tobe is a very anxious dog. So much that he has to take medication on top of an extremely active lifestyle and home made food. He instantly was drawn to Julia and relaxed as we left the house. Need I say more?! We were so happy with her dog care that we will be definitely prioritizing her as our Rover dog care specialist :)”

“Jennifer was amazing with our cat Maca! From the start, she was super sweet and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond every day — sending us updates, photos, and making sure Maca was happy and taken care of. It was such a relief knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. Maca is a shy cat with new people and we really appreciated Jennifer’s patience in making her feel comfortable and gaining her trust while we were gone. We would 100% book again with Jennifer and highly recommend!”

“My dog felt very comfortable around Adam, who was really accommodating in coming on short-notice and doing a quick play session to introduce himself to Champ. Adam was also very understanding about giving me updates on my dog throughout his visit. This was the first time my dog was left with someone else in months, and am glad it was with someone I felt I could trust!”

“Jasmine was so amazing! She provided excellent care to my cats while I was away and sent many photos which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Caring for animals has always been part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, birds with feathers, fish with fins, and even those with scales. That early exposure gave me a deep comfort and appreciation for animals of every personality and species. I am recently retired, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and available for pet care when needed. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays without the constraints of a traditional workday. This flexibility means your pets receive consistent attention, timely care, and a calm, unhurried presence while you are away. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of an active, dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty to explore. I live just 1.5 blocks from the beach and close to great walking spots like Arana Gulch, the park at the end of Schwan Lake, and a nearby dog park only minutes away. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, fun walks, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings.

“Jade did everything by the book. Kitties were happy and healthy when we got home and the house was in order. It was nice to get pics every day. Stress free cat sitting!”

About: I have owned animals for as long as I can remember, ranging from goats, to rabbits, to dogs, and cats. I am equipped in senior care due to my own senior cat, as well as my childhood dog (not living with me)! I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and family for years and love doing it! I absolutely adore all critters and want more than anything to offer them a safe, comfortable, and fun space when their people are away! I'm currently a full time student at UCSC, but I'm only on campus a couple days a week, so I will have plenty of time to take care of animals I'm watching! I'm available most days of the week, save the afternoons and evenings on Thursdays, as well as Friday mornings. That being said, I am still more than happy to host your babies while I'm at school for a few hours! I have a lush, fenced in backyard that is perfect for some supervised outdoor/play time! I live with three cats, two of which are very friendly and love keeping other critters company! The third cat is my senior baby who prefers to keep to herself most of the time, but occasionally enjoys the company of elderly dogs!

“Cody is an awesome pet sitter! My cats adore him, and I feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. I know he’ll provide them with tons of love and attention, and keep up with their schedule perfectly. He’s super reliable and follows instructions well. I fully trust him to care for my kitties and my home while I’m away, and it brings me so much peace of mind to know he’s there! Thank you, Cody! You’re the best!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. Being with animals is a passion of mine! Ive worked at a dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and training facility for about 4 years (Currently not working there anymore). The facility I worked at had cats, but mostly dogs. Wouldn’t mind caring for other kinds of pets! I am currently working part-time at Animal Hospital of Soquel, Im available for drop ins and dog walks most days, currently working Sunday through Wednesday. I will update my schedule as much as I can! 🫶✨ If you have a certain schedule you follow at home, I can follow that no problem! Just let me know what needs to be done and I can do that for ya!

About: Stemming from a childhood with German shepherds, I’ve loved being constantly surrounded by animals for most of my life. I have experience with dog walking, playing with other dogs, watching overnight, and can accommodate as needed! I have open availability with a preference toward mornings and afternoons. Specifically, available to dog walk in the morning and check-in throughout the day as needed. I can provide proper assurance as needed. I live in a home with plenty of backyard space for your pup to run around, and happy to run through specific safety features!

About: I have decades of experience caring for and loving dogs and cats! I come with lots of local experience (and great references!) taking care of cats, dogs, homes and plants. It would be my pleasure to ensure your animals, plants and home are looked after attentively with care and love. I am currently on sabbatical from my 9-5 and have total flexibility for dog walks in AM and PM as well as play/park time and/or hikes up to 3 times/week. I can easily crate your dog if needed, am familiar with many different training protocols and provide a consistent, caring and stable environment for your pet(s).

About: Hi, I’m Joe. I’m a remote wellness educator and retreat facilitator who splits time between Northern California and Costa Rica. Because I work remotely most of the day, pets in my care receive steady companionship, consistent routines, and a calm, reliable presence. I work remotely and maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide steady companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care integrates naturally into my daily routine, including morning walks, feeding, and check-ins, with additional walks, play, and attention in the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and receive consistent care, structure, and presence. Safety, consistency, and respect for each pet’s routine are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel secure and comfortable. I’m attentive to behavior, environment, and safety during walks and always keep dogs leashed unless otherwise instructed.

“Tyler was very attentive to our 2 fur babies. She sent pictures and gave us updates while we were out of town. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Tyler!!”
