Pet Sitting Santa Cruz Southwest

“I cannot put into words how great Travis has been. My dad was in the hospital and Travis took so much extra care with his cat. The cat was independent and a little skittish, but Travis took time and extra effort to make sure she played and got attention during a stressful time. HIGHLY recommend. A true cat lover and kind person.”

About: I have taken care of my sister’s two cats while she is out of town for the past 2 years. I have also checked in with my sister’s friend’s cat in the past. I’ve had dogs as pets in the past for the past 20 years and I can gladly take care of dogs by walking or check in with them. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have time to play or give some company to your pets! I am available to pay a visit at your home on the weekends, anytime during the day. I may be available on the weekdays anytime after 4 pm to come check on your pets. I live in an apartment complex but there is a huge green grass area if your dog needs to be taken out for a potty break. If I do visit a home, I will ensure that your pet stays in their proper place when given specific instructions and I will follow them to make sure your pet stays safe.

“Logan was fantastic! Logan was punctual with drop ins and followed instructions to the T. Logan is careful and reliable and gave us regular updates and also let us know promptly when there were slight hiccups with our arrangements (that occurred through no fault of Logan's). Logan has been fantastic and continues to be and has our highest recommendation!”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Asher did a wonderful job with my senior cat.He is older and needs soft food. Giz loved his time with Asher. She was very patient and caring . I would definitely recommend Asher to care for any of your pets.She listened to all his needs and took really good care of him.”

“Caira and Walter (my 6 year old Weimaraner) immediately clicked and it’s been an absolute delight having her come for weekly visits to feed him and make sure he gets a potty break on my long work days. She’s prompt, communicative, and so amazing with animals. I would highly recommend Caira if you’re looking for someone to spend some quality time with your pet companion!”

“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”

“Abriana did a great job watching our cat for the weekend! Very quick to respond, professional, and sent us super cute pics and videos. Highly recommend!”

“Marina did an amazing job taking care of my dogs while I was away! She kept me updated with lots of great photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for they were. It was clear that she treated them with kindness and attention, and they were happy pups. I truly appreciated her communication and the care she provided. I would absolutely book with Marina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Former Bostons and Frenchie dad. Professional zoomies partner, snub nose butt wiper, and eye booger cleaner. They snore and so do I, plus all farts can be blamed on them too! If you need a dog sitter for a Frenchie or Boston hit me up. I am semi-retired and work a part-time remote job as an hobby. This provides me a very flexible schedule. Let me know what your needs are and I can probably make it work. I'll treat your dog as if it were my dog. Couch time, walks, and zoomies time. If needed, I'll even wipe their butts after poops or belly after they pee haha, IYKYK. I’m semi-retired and work a part-time remote job as a hobby. I like to pet sit Frenchies and Bostons and will have plenty of free time to ensure your dog is cared for. I’ll care for your pets as if they are my own. I’m choosing to partner with Rover because I love dogs, not because I need money. I want to ensure they have an enjoyable experience while you are away.

“Fiona is very invested in each and every one of her canine clients and she really cares about the experience for both pet and pet parent. Fiona was timely, communicative and empathetic. She did wonderfully with our younger dog who was new to having a dogsitter, and our senior lab mix - each of which have very different needs. I highly recommend Fiona!”

About: I really just want to make sure that your pets and house are taken care of the same way I would take care of mine if not better. Ive been a sitter of dogs, cats, plants, and axolotls so i have a pretty good idea of how to make sure your pets are happy as possible while you have to be away I’m a botanist and work regularly 7am-4pm M-F, your pets would be the last things I see before work and the first after. I have 6 sweet kitties at home that I make sure are well exercised, fed, and loved. I wish to get to know your pets and make them as comfortable and entertained as possible. All my cats get wet and dry food, we have cat trees, multiple water fountains, maybe too many toys and even a stroller to see the world in. Here in the desert pet hydration is my number one concern, especially after treats and exercise. My partner and I push for cat hydration through occasionally mixing churu in water bowls (they love it). For dogs I will never leave the house with them without water and a bowl. I grew up here in AZ and my family dog and I have ran many miles so I know when to look for the signs that your pet needs a break, water, or to turn around. LGBTQ+ family

“Fantastic! We are repeat customers and Zack my cat loves Xochitl. I could tell by how happy and contented Zack looked in the visit photos that he remembered Xochitl and that he felt very safe and taken care of. Highly highly recommended.”

“Pamela is a warm, kind, and empathetic sitter who fully devotes herself to caring for the pets she watches. She is reliable and responsive and has helped me in many a last-minute pinch with nothing but grace. If I could give her ten stars, I would!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for almost my whole life! I love animals and have over 100 hours volunteering at my local animal/dog shelter. I have experience in walking all types of dogs. I’m currently a student so I have so much time to help care for your pets! I work part time so I have full availability on weekends and I am able to board on weekends. I will respect your home and easily be able to care and maintain a good environment. I can crate your dogs easily and care for any cats as well.

“We found out our young kitty was sick right before a trip we’d been planning for over a year. Terri was incredible and went above and beyond every day to make sure Atticus was doing as well as he could be and getting lots of love and attention. She even managed to get him into the vet with only a hour’s notice and sought out specific wet food flavors at different pet stores. Without Terri, we would not have felt comfortable enough to go on the trip and visit with relatives for the last time before they passed away. Terri has a large heart and many years of experience dealing with any range of kitty issues. We have worked with Terri several times and can’t thank her enough for all she has done. She’s the only sitter you’ll ever need for your purring companions.”

“Laurie was a wonderful choice while I was on vacation. I had no worries as well as my dog, Chloe was clearly happy with her while I was away! I would gladly do business with you again thank you very much!”

Chance P.

“Leticia did great with my two dogs and one cat! She sent photos at every drop in and met with us before starting to go over our details and meet the pets. Highly recommend!”

“Adriane was the best! She really spent time with our two cats and made sure they were take care of while we were gone. She was really responsive.”

Michelle F.

“Aiyana was a wonderful cat-sitter for our kitties. She instantly bonded with them on a pre-trip visit to our home. She is a very good communicator and sent us pictures regularly while we were gone. When we got home, our cats were healthy and happy! I highly recommend her as a pet-sitter (and she's a super nice person as well!)”
