We were grateful for the time Jenna spent with Agent 86. They went on a walk together and helped us out while we were visiting the area. I think 86 really enjoyed it.

I could not recommend Yajaira enough! She took great care of my dog, Toby. She sent so many photos and updates, it was amazing. I rested well on my time away knowing Toby was in great hands.

We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.

Geoff has walked my dogs and has puppy-sat them several times. He is very attentive and cares for my dogs like he would for his own. My dogs are always so excited to see him. I really wouldn’t trust any other person with my dogs.

Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.

Be honest Guillermo is the first rover I will leave review for. He's very patient to the puppy. My dog is a young eskimo who is very hyper everyday. Guillermo brought my dog for several walks everyday and send me pictures. My dog came back home tired lol. He's very responsible as well! My dog learn several tricks from him. He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.

We are so thankful to have found Marina to take both of our doggies for the day on our recent trip to Santa Cruz. She was responsive and communicative before and during their stay. Our dogs got a lot of activity, love, and attention. We got pictures and updates that made us feel comfortable about their care. Thank you so much Marina!

About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.

Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.

Tyler was a delightful person to work with. My dog met her and her dog the day before and really hit it off. The next day when I dropped my dog off she was so enthusiastic to see Tyler again. Excellent communication, pictures and spent time with us to help set up the exact services I needed. Highly, highly recommended. I’ll use her again even if I don’t “need” it because my dog, Teddy, loved her!

About: Offering doggy daycare as well as overnight boarding for folks visiting Santa Cruz for the weekend! Drop pup off with me and enjoy the Boardwalk (no dogs allowed) and other attractions while your pup is close by. I have done puppy training, dog training, dog agility and training/jumping with horses as well! Have done senior care as well, for our old blind dog that passed (of cancer) at the end of last year at 14 years of age. I have a friendly 1.5 year old large Shepard mix that would love to run around in the backyard with your pup. He gets daily walks to Its Beach to play with his doggy friends there as well (best dog park there is!) I have a 5 1/2 year old daughter that is great with dogs and would love to play fetch with those pups that love it! I have a fenced yard with a nice lawn to run around on and access to clean running water for the dogs all day long. I have an outdoor warm shower too if pups needs any kind of bath from beach play or the like.

Matt is amazing with dogs. I have left my large dog with Matt multiple times and sometimes when I return home - I'm a little jealous because I think my boy enjoys being around Matt more than me! If you are looking for responsible pet caregiver that is loving - then look no further....Matt will allow you to rest assured if you on vacation and if it is only a walk or day care - you will feel confident rather than anxious if Matt is the one watching your precious pooch! I give him a 10/10!
