“Dewey loves his time with Melissa! She is really great at directing him, fun and rewarding time together. As a young dog consistently is so important, Melissa focuses on good behavior and gentlycorrects when Dewey is getting off track.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and grew up with multiple cats and dogs around me at all times. I've always loved animals and found joy in caring for them, including walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. I have experience caring for dogs and cats from ages 0-17, including providing special routines and administering medicine. I'm currently working part-time in the area, so I will have plenty of time to meet new animals. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, so I am available most days. For me, a pet's health and happiness take precedence, so I always treat a pet as if they were my own, giving them all the attention they deserve. Some pets can be shy, so I always try and meet them where they are comfortable.

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

About: I have been trusted to take care of others’ pets for approximately nine years now. I absolutely adore animals and think they deserve the world, so your pet’s wants and needs are my number one priority! If my prices are not in your range, I am happy to negotiate something that is fair for us both. I am a full-time medical assistant who works 3 12 hour shifts each week. On my days off I have plenty of time to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your fur baby. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away. I am willing to check in on your pets as many times as you feel necessary, or even stay with them throughout the day. I always say “treat others how you would want to be treated,” so I hold the same expectations to myself that I would have someone who was watching my pet.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for most my life. Pets have become my passion. I can administer medicine, give as many potty breaks as needed and give them all my attention and love. I do work full time at a pet store so if your booking is for the weekend I will either be able to check in frequently or even bring them with me to work. Whatever you prefer. I’ll have Sunday and Monday off and will be at your pets side 100% of those days. I have a unique set up for my home. I have no yard but the world will be your pets oyster. I can walk them or sit at a secluded park or take them to the beach. If they are not so active I can slow it down for them and whatever they need.

“Annalee has been such a life saver with walking my fur baby Hercules! I’ve been in tight situations where I’m asking for a walk just a few hours prior and she happily agrees which does not go unnoticed. She’s very diligent about providing photos on how the walk went, does a great lock up of my place, and is conscious of where to walk him depending on weather/other circumstances. I highly recommend her to any other owners looking for a dependable and trustworthy walker!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and family. I find a lot of joy in caring for them and appreciate the reciprocal relationship that develops with them over time. No matter what mood I’m in, my interactions with animals often leave me in a positive state of mind. I work full time, Mon-Fri from 8-4:30. Any time outside of this I am happy to work doing sitting or walking, and I’m open to staying overnight. I can be somewhat flexible with your needs. I am looking to supplement my income, but also just really enjoy having animals in my life and can’t have them in my own home. My landlord does not permit animals in the building, so I would have to come where your animals are. I can either walk a dog from your home, stop by for feedings , or house-sit as needed.

“Ember is a very reliable and patietwalker. She uses positive reinforcement to encourage our timid puppy to walk farther each time. We highly recommend her!”

Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.

About: I am adventurous, active, and love to explore new places. I can’t wait to spend time with your dog walking around my area and exploring dog friendly activities around this area. We can stay home or go on an adventure to your liking. Snuggles and love are included at no extra charge. I can administer medications if needed and will follow any specific instructions to a tee. My dog is my baby and I would only want her to be treated as such. I have been very successful using Rover as a customer, so I know the quality of service you and your dog are expecting and I insist on delivering that to you. Walking, running, playing, fetching, snuggling, hugging, and giving praise for being a great dog is what I specialize in:)

About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.

“I requested services from Amy to walk my dog Penny while I was out of town. Although I was unable to meet her in person, Amy exceeded my expectations. I was a little apprehensive about someone else walking my dog because she is still a young lab in training, Amy understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable with her services. On the days Amy would take Penny out, she constantly sent me updates with photos and videos of Penny playing with other dogs. Penny was also very well behaved with Amy, which was my concern, and that she listened to Amy. When penny was dropped off at my parents house, my mom would tell me how exhausted Penny would come home after a day with Amy and how well behaved she was after the walks. Overall, I’m very happy that I picked Amy and would definitely consider asking her again for her services again. She’s awesome!”

About: Hello there! My name is Julia. I have always had animals and I have also been pet sitting the past 10 years. I know how nerve racking it is to leave your precious furry family member with someone new! I have a cat and dog of my own and they are my world. Thankfully, they stay with my family when I pet sit (which they love). I know how important it is to find a good person to care for your pet. During my stay you can expect me to take care of feedings, replenish water, and administer any medications. I give them lots of affection, positive reinforcement and love! My goal is to make your pet feel like they are on a fun staycation with a new friend. I’m also vigilant about safety and security. For dogs I give them two walks a day. I have experience with all types of dogs and trained with basic dog training/handling. For cats I give them lots of pets, play with them and clean the litter box daily. In terms of house sitting I’m happy to take in mail and water plants. This should go without saying but I make sure to clean up after myself and keep things clean. I will respect your space. Basically, I love animals. I love meeting new furry friends and I take this job seriously. While having lots of fun!! I am available every day besides Monday and Tuesday as of now. Other than that I am very flexible! I am willing to meet your needs and if something changes i’ll do my best to accommodate if possible. When I take care of your animal I am extra careful about safety and security. Always making sure doors and exits are shut and locked, being mindful if there is a pool in the backyard, cleaning up after any mess I make… wiping down counters and sweeping up crumbs. I also am very careful to administer the right food and any medications or special needs they may have. When we are just hanging out I give them lots attention, praise, play and snuggles. Always being attentive to their needs individually.

About: I have had cats and dogs for my whole life, and currently have three cats, and a giant breed dog who I have trained since he was a puppy. I care very strongly about the welfare and happiness of pets, and want to take the best care of them possible. I am good at following instructions and I take my responsibilities seriously. I above all want to make sure that people are happy with my services. I have been accepted to a foreign exchange program that has now been deferred to January, as they were unable to find a host family in the country. So until then my schedule is completely free and flexible. I have a great pyrenees akita mix who weighs about 110 pounds, who I trained from a puppy. I also have three cats, plus a family of friendly strays who live in the back yard. I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life and will do a great job of pet sitting and dog walking. I will do all I can to make sure your pets are very happy and follow any special instructions that you may have regarding their care.
