Cat Sitting in Santa Cruz

“Stephanie is a lifesaver and was able to extend my booking after I got stranded in Dallas. What a relief my Queen's new bestie is always there to take good care of her when the human finds trouble!”

About: I have had cats and dogs and cared for them since I was old enough to, about 20 years. I have done a good amount of pet sitting and walking. I volunteered for a couple summers at my local veterinarian office. I get along very well with animals and they always like me. I love the outdoors and I love to walk around with dogs. I work in film in Northern NM and would love to do this as a job during slower months, such as the winters. I especially understand that work schedules can get in the way of you being with your beloved pets and the need for quality pet care. I often have a more open schedule than many to work around all your needs! I would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your fur baby! I am currently on a hiatus from the film industry because of slowdowns, so I have more time than many to watch your fur babies! To care for pets in my home or other's homes I will feed them, play with them, brush them, cleanout litter box where applicable. Walk them if applicable.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was a child. I have experience caring for dogs of all life stages. Animals are my everything, and I love getting to know the individual personality of the dogs and cats that I care for. I work from home two full days and three half days a week. I am also home and available to watch your dog most weekends. As a mom to two puppies, I fully understand the importance of following the family’s routine. I will follow every instruction you leave to the T. I also require every dog that I care for to be fully vaccinated to protect my dogs and yours.

“Beth was fanatic. Having her around really made me more comfortable with leaving my little Bodhi all alone for an entire week. I don't know what I would have done without her, she kept the house clean and was very dependable. Would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve been around and had pets my whole life. My personal animals are very well loved and cared for. I’m committed to sharing the same attention, love, & quality care that I have for my furry children for yours as well. Currently I’m available 6am-1pm Sunday through Thursday and Fridays and Saturdays I’m available all day. I have my other job I do during the evenings. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! I am dedicated to the meticulous needs your pet may need whether that be medication, water, attention, exercise, special dietary needs, treats, pup cups, etc. Whatever the case may be your pet is special and I’m committed to whatever they might need.

About: I’ve cared for small and medium dogs since I was 14. I’ve loved taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl. With my parents being animal lovers I’ve encountered many animals throughout my life. As of right now I have 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, and 3 Horses! I provide loving attention, walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. I am calm, reliable, and respectful to you and your home. Your pets will feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.💕 I work part-time in Los Alamos, but only two days a week that I choose. I am pretty available anytime the pet owner needs me. In highschool, I dogsat on the weekends but now that I am out of highschool I’ve been doing it consistently. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether I’m at their home or mine. I stick to their usual routine provided by the pet owner. Feeding, walks, playtime, so they don’t get stressed. I keep their space clean and give them lots of attention and love. I’m calm and patient, so pets feel relaxed in their home.

“Teresa was amazing and my kitties loved her!! She was very communicative and extremely helpful... even when random issues came up at my apartment building. She sent me a bunch of pics and I highly recommend her :)”

“Grace was a fantastic sitter and took wonderful care of my sweet Clementine! Having reliable care for my baby while I’m gone is a huge concern and with Grace at the helm I was able to enjoy my time away and know Clem had everything she needed and more. I can’t recommend Grace enough.”

“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”

About: I am an avid pet-loving White Bear Lake local who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I do dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an active runner, so if your pet likes to run, we can certaintly hit the road and get out some energy! I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. We will go on a great adventure, but safety is my top priority.

“Thanks Danielle. He was a happy boy!”

About: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.

About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

About: Working at Chicago Dog Runner 24 years ago started my journey towards providing the most exceptional pet care. Since moving out of the city, I’ve expanded my sitting to include chickens, donkeys, ducks, and more! I’ve had lots of puppy and senior dog/cat experience as well. Also, I joined Therapaws Michigan almost 10 years ago, helping board and train therapy animals and it has been the absolute best experience. Being an EMT, I understand the importance of timely medication administration and can give injections as well as oral/topical medications. I take pride in communication and photo ops! Having special needs animals in my life, I take care in educating myself with pets behavioral and health concerns and am always open to any conversation and adjustments regarding your pet’s care. Working from home I have a very flexible schedule and can follow your pet routine as required. I’m able to adapt and change scheduling as needed. I have a reliable pet friendly vehicle with a ramp for senior pup access. I believe keeping your pet’s schedule consistent is important and helps keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Please share details about feeding and/or walking/potty times, I am happy to accommodate.

“Very happy with the time Amanda took with Peter. Her experience with animals was made very clear with the interactions between her and Peter. Peter is very shy around new people oftentimes, not the case with Amanda. Amanda went above and beyond what I expected and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
