“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up. When I was younger we did have a cat. I was a junior handler and dog trainer for my aunt who bred French Bulldogs for AKC shows. I practiced a little obedience/agility training during the same time. While in this setting I practiced with many different dog breeds and am comfortable handling any size dog. I helped a friend with her dog boarding company for a while and I encountered many different dogs here as well and not all as well trained. I absolutely love all animals I encounter. I love helping friends and family out with their animals while they are away. During college and high school, I would house sit/dog sit for friends. I have been around animals my entire life and I feel comfortable dealing with any situation thrown at me, whether it be a dog that isn't very good on a leash yet or a nervous animal who just needs a patient person to help take care of them while their family isn't there. My family currently has the goofiest labradoodle and Airedale terrier! We have two sweet pups, Gizmo, a poodle terrier, and Mazzy, a french bulldog. I am allergic to cats so while I'm happy to do drop ins and such with cats staying overnight with cats can be very difficult for me so I prefer to not sleep in homes that have cats. I am happy to wake up early and visit frequently if you have cats and dogs that way I can make sure every member of the family stays happy. Can't wait to meet your pups! I will be doing walks with my baby Mira either on my back in a carrier or in a stroller. If your pup isn't kid friendly I won't be a great fit, but I will keep my daughter separate just to keep pups comfortable and my daughter safe. Aleksandra Dooley (Sasha) I am a stay at home mom, so I care for my baby and pups all day. My own pups can't walk more than a block comfortably. My own home is not ideal as I already have two pups and a young baby at home, so I will not be able to accept any more pets into my home.

“We've had Maxine house sit and dog sit on many occasions over the years. She is a very conscientious and respectful person. Our dogs, Coco and Splash, absolutely love her.”

About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life — with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC, I understand what it takes to keep them happy, healthy, and loved. I treat every dog that comes into our home like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. We recently lost our senior pup to old age, and after 15 years with him, our home feels quiet without him. We are not ready to add a new dog to our family yet, so hoping pet sitting will fill our hearts with the paws that feel missing. I work from home 3-4 days a week & have a very energetic toddler who will keep your pup entertained! I am always outside and go on daily walks with or without a dog! My home is a clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and fenced outdoor access, ensuring your pup can explore safely. I keep hazardous items like food and cleaning products out of reach. Dogs have access to cozy resting spots, fresh water at all times, and plenty of space to play, relax, or cuddle.

“Kevin took great care of Gaspode and kept me informed on how he was doing. This really helped me out!”

“Soma was communicative throughout our dog’s stay and provided helpful feedback as he is new to our family and we are still working on his confidence.”

“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”

“Diane is a very kind and attentive sitter. I dropped Teddy off for daycare and she was very warm and welcoming to him. Her house is very spacious and has a big yard for dogs to run around. I can tell he felt very comfortable at her place. Thank you so much for today 😊”

About: I’ve had a dog for 10 years and spent time volunteering in dog shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for your dog. I provide constant care which means during boarding or doggy daycare I won't leave dog alone for more than 2-3 hours. My schedule allows me to walk with dog several times during the day and let the dog out for potty breaks in the backyard between walks. I follow your pet routine and any special instructions from owners. I'll always send updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well.

“Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.”

“Lauren, Catherine, and Hani were great hosts for Kobe. They took such good care of Kobe and made him feel safe and loved. They shared many pictures and videos with me throughout the day that I felt like I was there with them. I highly recommend Lauren & Catherine, and I will definitely use their services again.”

“Laura was a good communicator and made Henry's visit easy. He's a shy guy who gets a little anxious and she made sure he was at ease and even sent us a picture of him relaxing! Her quiet location is ideal for a pup who prefers the outdoors!”

“Hoover came home happy and got to meet a lot of fun animals (chickens & a bunny). Thank you for taking great care of him for the day!”

“I highly recommend Brieana as a pet walker and sitter—she’s been such a blessing for both my dog and cat. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. My pets absolutely adore her, and I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight care, Brieana goes above and beyond. She’s attentive to each pet’s unique needs, sends updates, and always treats them like her own. If you’re in the River area and looking for someone you can fully trust with your fur babies, Brieana is it. So grateful we found her!”

“Another great stay! Yenju provided lots of updates, videos, and pictures. She even groomed Miso for us. Highly recommend others book with her.”

About: I founded my own dog rescue organization last year that saves dogs that are out of time at Central Valley shelters and find them homes here in the Bay Area. I've been studying dog behavior for the past 2 years and I practice positive reinforcement methods for all training I do as well counter conditioning work to help older dogs that may have some issues.

With full house privileges, in and out privileges and a large fenced in secure backyard. - your dog will be having such a great time they will hardly notice you're gone! I have plenty of experience working with All kinds of dogs from all different kinds of backgrounds and I really enjoy doing that work. I did take a break step back during Covid and I am very excited to get back into it! Ive only opened one boarding slot at a time in my home, which I think is the best way to make sure that the pet and myself both have the best experience possible.

“Kevin was very accommodating and sent me frequent updates and photos, which I really appreciated. My dog came home happy after plenty of walks and cuddles. Pro tip: Definitely do a meet and greet first to make sure your pup clicks with his young husky!”

“Linda did an amazing job looking after Peach. She was very attentive and patient with Peach's needs (my dog can be a bit anxious) and sent updates throughout the day. This was my first Rover experience and it went really well. I highly recommend Linda because she treats your pup as if it were her own!”

About: grew up on a ranch and have cared for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and horses—so working with animals feels completely natural to me. I have extensive hands-on experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs, from young, high-energy dogs to calmer companions. I’ve personally trained my Belgian Malinois, which has given me a strong understanding of obedience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I’m especially comfortable with working breeds and active dogs who need both mental and physical stimulation. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing safety, consistency, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my day around walks, feeding, play, and check-ins, so pets get consistent attention and care. Since I’ve grown up with animals, caring for them feels second nature rather than a side task. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any training or medication needs. I focus on providing a calm, safe environment with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
