“Marley is amazing. She is prompt, reliable and communicative. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting some great exercise. While he’s normally a bowling ball of energy when I get home from work, he’s so much more relaxed after his walks with Marley.”

“Celeste was great! Our dogs loved her and she was so flexible with our schedules and such that it made our experience seamless. I was so grateful that she was so in tune with dogs and mannerisms. Our dogs can be timid at times with new people and Celeste was able to allow them to come to her in a way that made them comfortable with her almost immediately. I will without a doubt be booking with Celeste again!”

About: I’ve lived with and have cared for both dogs and cats since I was little, and currently have 1 dog at home. I have experience handling leash reactive dogs, and have learned from trainers on how to handle situations while out walking. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to walk dogs. I can walk dogs anywhere from 9 a.m up to 3 p.m. I have a fully fenced yard that overlooks a babbling creek. There is plenty of room to run around outside and play ball. When caring for dogs i make sure there is lots of play time with different toys and games that stimulate a dogs brain as well as lots of cozy space for a dog rest.

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

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.

About: Hi, I'm Nora. Animals have been my constant companions and teachers throughout my life. I've had dogs since I was kid. Most of my friends have dogs or cat or both, so I took care of them many times while they were traveling. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds from Chihuahuas, over various Terriers, Poodles, Pitbulls, Frenchies, Maltese, Newfoundlander, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labradoodles, to Great Pyrenees. Observing dogs and their behavior has always been of great interest to me. If you let them in your bed, without fail, they will all take you up on the offer. ☺️✨️ My heart also belongs to cats, I've had them and been surrounded by them since childhood. They've shown me the joys of connecting deeply with the feline guardians. Over the years, I have house sat for cats, enjoying every moment of caring for, playing with, and observing them in their unique ways. I'm here to provide attentive, caring support for your pets, ensuring they're happy and comfortable while you're away. I set my own schedule so I can fit in dog walks and drop-ins. Plan the day and service in hour-long slots and certain breaks. I live in a home with my partner and two cats, so boarding of a dog who is cat friendly is possible sometimes. House sitting works great.

“We hired Amanda to walk or dogs once a day during a week we were away from home for long hours. She was on time, communicated very well, and took very good care of our dogs. She is trustworthy, and amazing with animals. Our dogs loved her! We highly recommend.”

About: I have experience with pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past year along with having had all different breeds of dogs growing up and enjoy their company. I love to go for walks, hikes, the beach and would love to take your dog with me. I've had to give senior dogs medication and look after them. I know how hard it is to trust someone to watch your fur baby when your away and I'm that person and I will treat them like royalty. I am home everyday at 1:00. I am ready to take your dog with me on a walk or hike. If they staying with me or I pick them up for a walk or hike. Your dog will have access to a dog run area all day long. I have a house with a large fenced in yard and your dog will have complete access to outside at all times. At this time I don't have a dog of my own, so there will be no conflict between dogs. I want your dog to feel at home as much possible.

About: I grew up with dogs, starting at the age of seven! I have learned so much in those years about how to responsibly care for dogs, while making them feel comfortable and loved. One of our family dogs was diagnosed with diabetes, so I am very comfortable giving insulin if that is something you need. After almost 18 years of living with dogs, I've also become comfortable giving eye drops, pills, etc. Aside from dogs, I have had hamsters and guinea pigs and was responsible for the entirety of their care. I also worked for an exotic veterinarian for 1 year. While I did not work with dogs but this position, it increased my confidence when it comes to working with animals in general. I now have my own dog, Remi. He has been a challenge but so wonderful. I feel confident working with very high energy dogs as I now have so much experience with one! He has inspired me to learn as much as I can about dog behavior and body language. I feel confident in support dogs and offering affection, as well as respecting their boundaries. If your dog is friendly and I am taking them for a walk, I’d love to bring my guy along but it’s not necessary! I am currently available every day of the week except Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you have need on those days, I may be able to work in the later afternoon/ early evening! I will give lots of attention! I understand that people use rover when they have to be gone for an extended period of time. So I feel it is important to make sure that I am giving your dog as much attention and love as possible. I aim to treat them as you would: focusing on their well-being and safety while also providing a fun and enriching time together.

We’re both comfortable with administering any medications your pet might need. We work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Your pet won’t be left alone. We’d love to make connections so we have returning visitors! We’ve got a fenced in yard with lots of exciting smells and places to explore. We’ve also got two of our own friendly dogs who are happy to share their space.
