This was my first time using Rover to find a sitter for my dog. Nancy and her family took care of my dog like it was their family dog. I would highly recommend Nancy, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I received several pictures of Mimi during her stay. 5 star dog sitter!!!!

Chewie had the BEST time with Nicole. Not only did she take him on a whole day adventure, she shared the sweetest pics of him with updates throughout the day. I would 110% book with Nicole again. Chewie came home exhausted and honestly he seemed a little bummed out that his play date sleepover was done ? Thank you Nicole!

Desiree has been great. She invited us over to her home so we could get a feel for her and make sure our little man could meet her dog ahead of time as well. She was able to help us out on somewhat short notice and we are definitely looking forward to booking her for our vacations in the future!

Really happy with the daycare & overnight care my older, 15 lb dog received. Denise is great, my dog looked happy hanging out with her, plus she has veterinary experience, and we also like Jerry, Denise's husband. I received pics/video throughout the stay. I like that they limit the # of dogs in their care because my dog gets stressed when there are too many dogs. And they have a small dog named Quarky, so there's a canine buddy. At Quarky's my dog has the choice of indoor/ outdoor time but he LOVES being outside this time of year, and Denise provides a tall fenced yard, comfortable furniture, companionship, sun and shade. Who could ask for more?

Carolina is the ideal caregiver for a dog or cat because of their strong bond with animals. I’ve known Carolina for a long time and when she didn’t have a dog, she spent a lot of time talking about how she wanted one. Now that she has one she understands her pet’s needs, provides them with love, proper nutrition, and a safe environment. I know she will be committed to each pet’s well-being and have a solid track record of responsible pet ownership.

Kevin is a wonderful dog sitter! He is communicative and flexible. Olive had a wonderful time and we were confident she was in good hands. She is an older dog with some arthritis issues, which Kevin was fine about managing. We recommend him without reservation, he's the tops.

THE. BEST. CARE. Erika and Kevin watched my sweet cockapoo Gus for a 5 nights. He had so much fun. They have very nice house with a fenced yard, but they also took Gus on lots of adventures. Beach time and plenty of walks. Gus really loved them; I got many photos of him snuggled up against Erika or Kevin. They had no problem giving him his medicine. And best part was that they were so communicative. I received lots of updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend them! And will gladly use them again whenever I'm in Santa Cruz!

About: I have taken two of my dogs when they were puppies to beginner, intermediate and advanced training. Friends and family will always call me for a dog sitting/ exercise when they aren’t around. I have experienced chihuahua mix to big huskies. I feel so comfortable and loved by these doggies. I have had many different breeds in my life and can’t wait to see more. I’m working part-time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. I can walk the dogs and do check ins any time as long as I have a bit of notice. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door and a friendly medium size straffordshire terrier that loves bigger dogs. However, if you’d like to have your dogs separate I have plenty of room in the yard and house to accommodate them. I have a large kennel and toys if needed.

Mel is an angel! My dog Chili absolutely loves them. Mel will go out of their way to make my dog feel comfortable and happy, whether that is going on a long walk or just snuggling on the couch. I would recommend Mel with any furry friend!
