Lupita was great, totally exceeded all expectations. She checked in our two cats daily for a week over Christmas, and followed all our instructions. She sent us videos of them everyday, and they clearly loved her. She even won over our skittish boy who's slow to warm up to strangers. Lupita is also very responsible over text and kind/easy to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone.

Jinxy was happier when we returned home than she has been on other occasions with other sitters! The photos she sent were great. I will definitely try to use her again.

Jasmine does an excellent job with my dog; and he adores her. She is one of the only people who can get him to eat consistently; even more than I can! If it was possible for me, I’d have her check on my dog even more!

Who was the first person to visit each time I brought a new puppy home? Mignonne! She brought abundant love and kisses to our new family members - a great testimonial to her love of animals! As long as I've known her she's always been a dog and cat owner. She's friendly and personable, too!

Ryan did a great job communicating when he was running late and really spoiled my dog with a walk and pets. I really appreciate the care he showed him and would definitely book him again.

Diego is the best animal sitter we have had! We were looking for someone who would stay at our home, walk our dogs, and feed our two dogs, cat and fish. He does it all! When we arrive home our pets are always happy and our house is in order. I feel such a sense of calm when we’re away from home knowing our pets are in his care. He is quick to respond to my requests to watch our animals and will communicate with us if we need to be updated on anything. I highly recommend Diego for your pet care needs!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and animals since I was 8 years old. Dogs and animals are an extremely important part of my life, I love working with animals and caring for them. I just recently graduated and have a lot more free time now, although my Wednesday nights I have a class the rest of my week is free so I like to care for pets during the week almost any day. :) I have one dog and one cat, my dog gets walks daily and lots of play time as he lives near the beach. My cat is an indoor cat as she has an autoimmune disorder but we play with her all day and she has a large kitty tower and lots of toys.

About: Grew up in Santa Cruz and love the neighborly vibe! I’ve had pets my whole life yet now travel and would love caring for yours! With my flexible work schedule I can work from anywhere, therefore, my ability to take on last minute jobs. I’m an early riser and enjoyed taking walks and hikes. I enjoy watching pets in their own home, so that they are in their comfort zone and keep their routine. Over time, getting to know how they like to live life on the inside and the outside of their environment.

My Bonnie is about a 4 year old breeder dog who was sent to a kill shelter when she could no longer produce puppies. We managed to get her from the shelter and has been with us for about 4 months. She is still nervous around people, but took to Sof the very first time they met. I think Sof did a great job with Bonnie. I was notified when Sof was at the house and what her and Bonnie did while together. Also got pictures at every visit. I felt very confident that Bonnie was in good hands. I highly recommend Sof and would certainly use her again

Ines is a fantastic pet caregiver! Her responsible and loving nature shines through in every interaction with animals. She ensures they're well-fed, hydrated, and entertained with playtime and walks. I trust her completely with my doggie Maggie, she adores her! Highly recommend Ines for top-notch pet care.

About: During your vacations and out of town obligations, seek assurance for your animals in our Seabright home! We have an active lifestyle during the day consisting of long walks along the beach and harbor for the active dog types; and we love a relaxing time chilling and reading in our fenced in backyard or down the street at the dog-friendly beach for the low key dogs. We are avid friends of all animals, with 15+years experience in animal sitting. Nicole is a dog volunteer for the county animal shelter and enjoyed hosting dogs in the past on a previous dog sitting app! Zach grew up with a husky(and remains fluent with husky-speak) and thrives when he has an excuse to meet and play with a new dog. Our family member, Maya(black lab) passed away last year and while we aren’t ready for a dog of our own, we deeply miss the joy of a canine to join us in our daily active adventures! We look forward to your dog’s company! There is always someone at home during the work week, so your pet will always have someone around to attend to their needs. We like to start and end every day off with a 40+ minute walk. On weekends, we tend to be out and about the town or go for a hike or long walks to farmers markets, play tennis, hang out at the beach, etc. We also garden and love cooking or doing projects at home. Our schedule can accommodate a wide variety of pooch preferences. This is not a money-making business for us — we simply just miss having a dog in the home since Maya passed away and would love to bring that animal company back through hosting your dog! For this reason, we will only accept one pet guest at a time to ensure your pet gets the individual care it needs and deserves while you are away.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, having raised them from puppies to adults. I unfortunately cannot own a dog now, but love and miss being around them. I love running and going on walks, so having a dog with me would it make it that much better! I just returned home after traveling for a few months, and am currently job searching. So I am looking for money to make ends meet in the mean time. That being said I am fairly free and flexible with my scheduling Obviously every pet is different, and every home is different. So I will listen to the guidance of the pet owner and take their advice for how to care for their pet. This will include how the pet is around other animals, around people, and their normal activity.

Maddie has been taking care of my two little nervous dogs as well as an older Golden Retriever with such care I never have to worry when I leave town. She is so compassionate with my older dog with her special needs I don’t have to be concerned. I also love they are very attached to her so I know they feel loved when I’m away. Thank you Maddie!
