About: Hello! We have over 30 years of experience taking care of animals! Growing up we've had Labradors, Siberian Huskies and German Shepards. Currently we have a 2-year-old (spayed) female labrador retriever and a 12-year-old (neutered) male labrador retriever. Both are very friendly. We live in the Santa Cruz mountains on 2 acres in the redwoods. There is a smaller section off of the back sliding door that is fenced in. Dogs will have free roam of the house, and you are welcome to bring their crate or dog bed if you would like. We have an overflowing basket of dog toys, balls and plenty of treats. If your furry friend needs medications, we have experience with that, and it would be no problem. Outside we have a nice patio with an umbrella for shade with an outdoor dog couch as well. Please reach out at any time for any questions! I work from home and will be home most of the day, unless I am bringing my son to or from school or dropping by the grocery store. My fiancé is an ICU nurse and will also be here with me 4 out of 7 days per week, so your furry friend will get lots of love and attention in our home! Our pets are part of the family, and we will welcome your pet into our home as if they are one of our own! We currently have 2 labrador retrievers. Our 2-year-old is very energetic and likes lots of attention and play time. We feed our dogs once in the morning and once at night. We use dog beds at night in our home, but you are welcome to bring a crate if that is what you prefer. We have a fenced in section of the yard right off of our back sliding door and therefore your pet will be able to go in and out very frequently. Also, we are able to send pictures and updates throughout the day whenever you would like. Please call or text any time with any questions!
“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.”
“Oliver did great with Jenna and her family. When I picked him up he was very happy, in good spirits, and loved hanging out with all of them. He got lots of play time and was all tuckered out when I picked him up. They were all very kind and I could tell they had fun with him. I would highly recommend Jenna and her family. :)”
“Yajaira is amazing, communicative and wonderful. She would give us updates with messages and pictures. She made it feel very safe to have our dog in her care. Would highly recommend.”

“Abby had a fantastic day with Geoff and his pups, she didn't miss me a bit and came home happy and completely tuckered out from playing. Awesome experience, and we look forward to booking another visit :)”
“We don’t live in Santa Cruz but everytime we come through in the future we’ll try to visit Lisa! She’s so warm, kind and friendly. Our lab had an amazing day at the beach, just steps from her front yard!”
“Marina was the perfect choice for watching Buddy. Super sweet and quick to respond. If we're back in this area we'll definitely look her up again.”
“We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.”
“Kayla was great with Pan! I left him with her 4 days in a row and he was super excited to see her by day 2. She was enthusiastic, consistent with pictures, and clearly enjoyed him. Would hire again!!”
“Thank you Shane and your wife for watching my dog on such short notice . I hope you enjoyed her company. And thank you for responding so quickly. Lola seemed very comfy and happy with you guys ! Thanks so much !”
About: I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pup’s new beach buddy, morning walk pal, and snack-time sidekick! I adopted my dog Gino in 2018 after he came out of surgery and needed some extra love. Since then, we’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to wise old seniors, always starting the day with a good walk and lots of positive energy. I tune in to each dog’s vibe, whether they want to zoom, snuggle, or just sniff every blade of grass. Your pup’s comfort and joy come first with me! My schedule is currently very flexible, so caring for pets fits in naturally. Gino and I have a steady routine—morning walks before breakfast, midday strolls, and evenings at the beach. Daily movement, sunshine, and connection with pups have always been part of our rhythm, no matter how busy life gets. At my home, pets are treated like family—welcome on the couch or comfy in their own bed. We hang out in the fenced backyard, soak up sun, and follow their lead—fetch for the playful ones, chill time for the observers (Gino loves being the audience!). I adjust to each dog’s vibe to make them feel right at home.
“Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.”
“At the last minute, Stella was flexible enough to provide care for my precious Charlie. She expressed extreme concern about Charlie's separation anxiety and texted me with photos shortly after I left to let me know he was doing fine. She eased my mind by communicating with me and assuring me that Charlie was in good hands. She took the time to speak with me after his overnight stay to discuss the cute details of their time together. I am very, very grateful for Stella's caring for my dog.”
About: I have over 14 years of experience watching cats and dogs. I am skilled at positive reinforcement, maintaining pet routines, and ensuring pets feel well cared for.

I like to keep to the routine that the pets expect so they feel comfortable when their parents are away. I love playing with animals! And often try to bond with cats and dogs by playing their game of choice.
About: I have had dogs and pets in all different sizes throughout my life. This includes a teacup Poodle all the way to a Newfoundland. My own dog has completed the Canine Good Citizenship test.

I am happy to provide enrichment games for your pet to mentally stimulate them as well as provide them with any physical activity as well.
“Echo had a great day with Hannah! She played fetch with Echo in her yard and took her on a hike near her house. Hannah met all of Echo's high energy puppy needs. Would book again!”
“Erika and Kevin were excellent dog sitters. Good communication with updates during the day. They were available at the agreed upon times. My dog had walks and playtime and was relaxed at the end of the day. Will definitely book again if we’re in the area.”

I would absolutely hire Jen again and I recommend her!”
