Skylar was great with my cats. She took care of my boys food, water and litter boxes. She then gave them some quality time which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Skylar to watch your fur babies.

Dylan does a great job looking after our cats whenever we are away. He visits at a consistent time every day, ensures that the cats have food & water, and plays with them (when the cats are in the mood). Its always great knowing that we can rely on Dylan.

About: Hey! Glad to see you here! My name is Morgan, and while I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to animal care. You can see my past experience on the IG account I’m currently building @morgansnugglesyourdog 🐾 If you want someone who aims to understand your pets, respects their routines, is intentional, and takes a thoughtful, behavior-focused approach to care — welcome! I’m a calm, capable sitter who tailors care to your pet’s unique needs, energy level, and emotional comfort. Whether your dog is a mellow senior, a wild child in training, or just your average well-behaved snugglebug, I offer structure, enrichment, affection, and the kind of consistency pets thrive on. I believe all animals deserve to be heard and deserve intentional care and structure. ❌ Things I don’t do: • Dog parks • Chaotic group situations • Handing out treats “just because” • Pushing past an animal’s comfort zone • Ignoring or minimizing behavioral needs ✅ Things I do: • Personalized, temperament-based care • Adventures (if your pet is up for it!) • Daily enrichment and mental stimulation • Intentional structure and calm routines • Respecting your pet’s boundaries and setting healthy ones • All the snuggles (when invited!) I also have hands-on experience with cats, small animals (like guinea pigs and rats), reptiles, and even farm animals like pigs and ducks. If it has paws, claws, hooves, or scales — chances are, I’ve cared for it. When it’s a good fit, I love incorporating dogs into my daily life — whether that’s a nature walk, a car ride to town, or just relaxing outside. But I never take dogs to dog parks or chaotic spaces. If something feels too stimulating or simply isn’t right for your pet, we skip it — no pressure, no push. And if your pup is the stay-home-and-cuddle type? That works for me too. I always ask about behavior, routines, and preferences ahead of time and spend the first day or two getting a read on what your pet is capable of and comfortable with. My goal is to help every animal feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for in a way that honors who they are. I work from home full time! I have several clients but the type of work allows me to be extremely flexible for your pets! I know while some pets can just hang out while I work, others may need more care, enrichment or a closer eye - I can and will accommodate accordingly. Just let me know what your pet needs ❤️ When sitting at your home I prefer to stick to the spaces your pets are most comfortable in or used to as well as stick to a similar routine. I find this helps with separation anxiety and any confusion the pets may have since their favorite human is gone! If possible, I like to take dogs for a longer walk on the first day to help us bond and help me learn how they behave. For other pets, this may look more like a longer playtime, enrichment activity, etc. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible with me in their space so that first day is important to me!

About: I have been a lifelong dog owner. I can care for a variety of pups from young and energetic to senior pups. I love to take my own dogs on my adventures throughout the Santa Cruz mountains from casual walks to long adventure runs and so I can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I also like to spend time training and practicing commands because dogs also like to be engaged mentally along with the physical. Of course love and affection through cuddles is always guaranteed and unlimited. I have lots of experienced with many different dog personalities and can accommodate them accordingly to make sure they are well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that is mostly already based around my own pups so I am very much able to accommodate yours as well! I have availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I already incorporate activities like dog walking and trail running into my daily routine which means I can offer active dogs a great adventure while also being available for quiet cuddle and consistent care for all pets. In my home, I treat every guest like family. My home is a safe, dog-friendly environment with a fenced yard where they can play safely. We'll follow their regular feeding schedule and I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks, running for high-energy dogs, and lots of mental stimulation. In the evenings, it's all about cuddles and relaxation on the couch, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is to maintain their familiar routine. I'll adhere strictly to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific commands they know. My goal is to be a calm and reliable presence, providing consistent care and affection in their own environment. I'll also ensure your home is kept clean and secure, leaving it just as I found it.

Nora is a GIFT! About a year ago my now 14 year-old cat Riley abruptly lost a significant amount of weight and bloodwork showed some kind of significant liver event though nothing was evident in an XRAY or ultrasound. He was prescribed two ongoing medications to support his liver & reduce inflammation; a small pill that needs to absorb during a fast (no food for 2 hours before and 1 hour after) and a liquid medication that needs to be given with food. In addition to the with/without food medications complexity, successfully pilling a cat every day requires a deft hand—pretty straightforward for someone who’s good at it, increasingly difficult each day for anyone who isn’t. Add to the equation both Riley and his brother Ash are initially shy with strangers. All things considered to me the situation seemed like a complicated ask for a pet sitter, so over the past year I hadn’t gone away on any trips longer than 2-3 days. In the face of a terminal illness diagnosis in my direct family I came to terms with having to hope for the best using a pet sitter for an 8 day family vacation though I was very concerned about how Riley would be affected by the extended change in routine. Enter Nora; highly intelligent, highly *attuned* (to the pets & the people), instantly trustworthy, and very gracious, a rare combination of total professionalism & grounded compassion. Though Nora was only here for about an hour each day her presence *visibly improved* Riley’s health. I didn’t know it was possible to come home from being away for 8 days to find Riley noticeably fluffier and more energetic than when I left, but that’s the magic that unfolded under Nora’s care. She also sent me pictures of Riley and Ash every day and let me know how they were each doing, sharing her sophisticated curiosity & creativity getting Riley to eat more and Ash to gradually come out of his shyness with clear warmth towards both of them. It’s extremely clear Nora *truly cares* and is keenly observant and exceptionally competent, a combination that made it possible for me to relax so much more on my trip. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank YOU so much Nora. TBC 💗🐈🐈‍⬛🧘‍♀️

We are so grateful to Anna who took care of our older cat. Usually family watches her, but she was recently started on medications and it was too much. Anna was willing to help very last minute and came over multiple times to meet her and learn her medication schedule and administration. I had been so stressed trying to find the right care and once I met Anna it all melted away. She did a wonderful job caring for our cat and was so sweet with her. We would absolutely book her again!

Kendra, our sitter, was maximally sweet! The setting was a bit rough. Our kitty lived upstairs in a private room without furniture but well heated. So make sure you bring bedding your kitty will be comfortable with. Also, the household has a large friendly dog that likes to bark at strangers. Our kitty wouldn't be comfortable hanging around with him. But if your cat likes dawgs, this is the place for them! Doggie lives downstairs; kitty was upstairs. Never the twain would meet! Overall, definitely recommended. The pricing is affordable, the setting comfortable, and we know the sitter gave our kitty all the attention she wanted.

About: Boarding: I will take your dog walking and to a dog park if needed for exercise. I have ideal outdoor space where I live. I’m very experienced at house / dog sitting, very reliable and responsible. I always clean up after myself at the end of my stay. Only myself will be at your house with your pet/pets. I grew up with a black lab, and have dog sat for friends including when traveling. Mostly all animals like my energy. I’m also very good with cats, fish and also have experience with parrots for house sitting. Boarding: I will mostly be with your dog during the stay. While house sitting I will be in and out of the house throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule. Max time away from the house is 4 hours unless your dog requires more frequent outside breaks due to age. I will take your dog walking, hiking and to dog parks. Any activities in your house are always welcomed. A big plus if your dog like to play fetch with a ball or stick.

About: I've had dogs and cats since I was about 13 years old. I am familiar with the basic care of pets and I'm open to helping with all sorts of things like giving medications since I do have two cats of my own. I have helped close family members with their pets and I'm now open to helping others witb their fur babies! I have a deep love for all animals and I currently work as a receptionist in an animal hospital. I am currently working a part time shift and a mom who has both busy days and some days where I'm very flexible. I am off two-three Fridays a month and my weekends are usually free. I am open to stopping in to check on your baby or bringing them to my place if needed. I have two of my own fur babies but I have the space to keep them seperate and safe is doable. I am respectful of others homes and will be extra careful to keep everyone safe.

About: I have a 4 year old Boxer and a 12 year old cat. I also have a 6 year old son who enjoys spending time with the dogs just as much as I do. Though never left unattended. My dog is overly social. Sometimes too social for some but he reads the room pretty well. We have catered to dogs who are more people oriented and have never had any issues. I work from home full time. It is nice to have a fenced yard so my pup can come and go as he wants. We go on a walk early morning and another after dinner. I have a fenced in yard. Pets are allowed on furniture in my home as well. We also have fun stuff like kongs and brain games to stay busy. I am mostly always available since I work from home. The dogs get lots of play time since I have a very rambunctious Boxer. The dogs have access to most of my home at all times. If it's nice out, the back door stays open and they can go in and out. I work from home. Being home often allows me the time to be present with the dog I am sitting. We like to spend our days in the yard and going on walks. I have a fenced yard. The dogs are never left unattended. We do have a lot of regular pups who I have watched throughout the years. Some are crate trained so that can also be arranged.

We are so grateful to Anna who took care of our older cat. Usually family watches her, but she was recently started on medications and it was too much. Anna was willing to help very last minute and came over multiple times to meet her and learn her medication schedule and administration. I had been so stressed trying to find the right care and once I met Anna it all melted away. She did a wonderful job caring for our cat and was so sweet with her. We would absolutely book her again!

Kendra, our sitter, was maximally sweet! The setting was a bit rough. Our kitty lived upstairs in a private room without furniture but well heated. So make sure you bring bedding your kitty will be comfortable with. Also, the household has a large friendly dog that likes to bark at strangers. Our kitty wouldn't be comfortable hanging around with him. But if your cat likes dawgs, this is the place for them! Doggie lives downstairs; kitty was upstairs. Never the twain would meet! Overall, definitely recommended. The pricing is affordable, the setting comfortable, and we know the sitter gave our kitty all the attention she wanted.

About: I have a 4 year old Boxer and a 12 year old cat. I also have a 6 year old son who enjoys spending time with the dogs just as much as I do. Though never left unattended. My dog is overly social. Sometimes too social for some but he reads the room pretty well. We have catered to dogs who are more people oriented and have never had any issues. I work from home full time. It is nice to have a fenced yard so my pup can come and go as he wants. We go on a walk early morning and another after dinner. I have a fenced in yard. Pets are allowed on furniture in my home as well. We also have fun stuff like kongs and brain games to stay busy. I am mostly always available since I work from home. The dogs get lots of play time since I have a very rambunctious Boxer. The dogs have access to most of my home at all times. If it's nice out, the back door stays open and they can go in and out. I work from home. Being home often allows me the time to be present with the dog I am sitting. We like to spend our days in the yard and going on walks. I have a fenced yard. The dogs are never left unattended. We do have a lot of regular pups who I have watched throughout the years. Some are crate trained so that can also be arranged.
