“Nancy and her husband Lance were amazing. They accommodated our late arrival and were so welcoming to us and Cheech. They took such good care of Cheech on his visit. Great communication and overall awesome couple. Highly recommended. Cheech was spoiled. Thank you, Nancy!”
“We arrived for a trip to Santa Cruz and found out our Roz was not allowed at the hotel due to her size. We started searching local pet hospitals, dog walkers, boarding facilities and the only place that could take her was all the way back in Santa Clara. As a last resort we checked Rover and Meghan came through for us. In the end Roz probably had as much fun as we did with her new friends during our weekend in Santa Cruz. Thanks Meghan!”
“Shannon was a great dog sitter. She had a bed ready for Nessie and made sure she had every comfort. She also sent regular updates and photos for us. We're certain Nessie had a wonderful stay!”
“Marta took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for one week. He experienced a health issue when we were away, and Marta handled it with careful attention. She worked hard to make sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She administered medication with confidence and communicated clearly with us as to how he was doing each day. I am thankful that we found Marta and recommend her to anyone looking for a capable, kind, dog-loving caretaker.”
“Dusty loves staying with Leo! He has a great setup for our separation anxiety pup. Easy to coordinate logistics of drop off and pick up, and sent us updates as needed. Dusty came home happy and healthy.”
“Cynthia was a wonderful sitter for my Esta girl. We had a meet & greet before hand. She was friendly & lovely. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She communicated & sent pictures during our trip. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“Susie was very informative, responsive and kind. She sent lots of pictures and updates which helped feeling comfortable with a new sitter for my grandpup. Milo was very well taken care of and we already have her booked for upcoming dates. I strongly recommend her to sit, walk or care for your pet.”
“Michael and Patti were so helpful in a time of crisis. They were available with very little notice, which we were very lucky and grateful for. Our dog really has a good time with them and their dogs, causing mischief and hilarity! We really lucked out meeting them. We know Jethro is in good hands and our minds and hearts are at ease. We actually feel guilty taking him away from his playmates. They are a treasure!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“Jenna has boarded my dog (Phil) multiple times including some long stays. It's been a great experience! Jenna is communicative and has always taken great care of Phil. He gets plenty of exercise and always comes home a happy pup. Highly recommended if you need a dog sitter or boarding in Soquel!”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“Barbie and her son were a godsend for our sweet pup! We could tell our dog had a great time and we really appreciated the amazing communication/photos. He went on multiple walks (which he loves) and enjoyed the comfortable and beautiful space. Thank you for the thoughtful care!”

About: Growing up lifelong surrounded by dogs of all ages, I learned to listen to animals and understand their needs as well as ensuring they listen to me and have a happy, healthy time in care. I'm working part time and moving into my apartment, so I'll have lots of time to spend meeting dogs' needs and taking them on walks along the natural routes near my place. I live in a pretty calm conflict-free setting with no children or other dogs to cause stress on anxious pups. I spend a lot of time walking around and I love having a furry friend to join me!
“Hannah was amazing. She was able to accommodate us last minute for a holiday weekend. She sent us updates along with videos of Archer doing all his favorite activities. We know he was in great hands and will definitely call her for any future needs”
“Natalia is the absolute best! She is trustworthy and our 3 year old lab, Naya, loves her. We never have to worry when she’s with her. We also love the updates that we receive throughout her stay.”

My work schedule is flexible and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and spacious house located within a lovely neighborhood with it’s own little hiking trail for your pet to explore.
“We had a great experience with Jaden. For our meet-and-greet, she arrived on time, was attentive and asked some good questions. During our absence, she sent nice updates (a short paragraph of the latest happenings and at least one photo of each cat), and when we returned, the house was clean and the kitties were happy.”

I do not have any pets here in Santa Cruz, but my first priority is ensuring your pets are safe and well taken care of!
“I'm so grateful we found Jasmine! I felt very safe leaving our pets and home in her care during a longer oversees trip. She is an excellent communicator, and has lots of experience with lots of animals and was confident with my picky eater and a cat who needed medication. She even ended up dealing with an ant infestation, and was resourceful and professional. We'll definitely work with her again.”

Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.

“Mamoo took very good care of my two cats and sent updates with pictures and comments. I had a worry free trip away. Mamoo provided in-home care. Mamoo is sensitive and perceptive regarding cats' preferences and communications and adjusts his care to meet your pets' needs. For instance if your pet is too nervous to come out to regular feeding area, he will bring food to the cat and approach slowly and respectfully. My cats warmed up to Mamoo and he gave them lots of love and attention. My cats were not showing any signs of stress after my return which is unusual for one of my cats! I highly recommend Mamoo as your service provider.”
“I just had Jake care for my diabetic cat and was so happy with having him! He was very thorough and detail oriented. He double checked instructions before hand to make sure everything was good. He is very professional and quick to respond. Everything was as it should be when I got home. Anyone using Jake should be assured your furry loved ones will be well cared for. I will definitely use Jake again.”

“Nancy and her family were simply amazing with Toby! She sent pictures regularly and I could see from Toby’s smile how much fun he was having. I felt very comfortable leaving Toby in her care and highly recommend her. Thank you so much Nancy.”
“Emma is the best! She took great care of Wally - he had so much fun being outdoors, going on hikes and staying active with his new buddy! He came back very happy and clearly had a wonderful day. He was sad to say goodbye at the end of the day.”
“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.”
“Kate is the absolute best! We are happy with her watching our pup, Teddy. She takes great care of him and she treats him like he is her own. She is great at communicating and she keeps us updated on how he is doing while he stays with her. I cannot rave about her enough. I highly recommend having her watch your fur baby.”
“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!”
“Susie immediately responded to my inquiry for dog sitting with less than two days notice and she quickly scheduled a Meet & Greet. She was VERY attentive to our Aussie throughout his time with her (about 6 hours) and took him out on a number of walks during the day. She shared great photo updates and was a very good communicator during the Meet & Greet and when sharing information about his day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Anna is absolutely amazing! She helped us out when we had a super last minute request, and even squeezed a meet and greet at our house into her schedule. We have a very, very high energy adolescent dog who is a *handful.* We’ve had multiple dog sitters say she’s the most energetic dog they’ve ever met! Well, it didn’t seem to phase Anna! She was great with Winnie, who seemed calm and happy when we came home (which is saying a lot!). I definitely hope to use Anna’s services again.”
“Bianca was so great with Olive! Her communication and care for her was fantastic. She understood olives quirks and put our tips and commands to work. I had a last minute meeting come up and she extended the sit without issue. So happy to have found and met Bianca!”

About: Hello! My name is Leo, and I have been in and out of dog-related jobs since I was fifteen years old. I am only twenty years old and a college student; however, my passion for animals (specifically dogs) is what drives me the most, and I would be as committed as necessary to your pet in all cases. I would provide your pet with premium care to the fullest extent!

Our backyard is fenced in and quite exciting for dogs to explore. We get lots of birds and squirrels, and sometimes a neighbor's cat comes by to visit. I would have your pet stay in my room on a cot, bed, or crate (I only have a cot and a small dog bed here). Kenwood: I live on a large property with my parents, where I could bring your pet home, and they could run forever. Everything is fenced in here; however would prefer bringing a smaller dog home. I am very open to staying in your home as well, for a greater price.

“We’ve only been working with Emma for about a week, but we’ve already had such a great experience! She is friendly, communicative, and really seems to understand our dogs and their individual personalities. Our dogs took to her right away, which is the biggest thing for us. She’s also shared some helpful insight into their behavior and some training techniques that we’ve started working on at home. We’re very happy we found her and are looking forward to continuing to work with her!”

“We arrived for a trip to Santa Cruz and found out our Roz was not allowed at the hotel due to her size. We started searching local pet hospitals, dog walkers, boarding facilities and the only place that could take her was all the way back in Santa Clara. As a last resort we checked Rover and Meghan came through for us. In the end Roz probably had as much fun as we did with her new friends during our weekend in Santa Cruz. Thanks Meghan!”

“Valentina and her crew (her kids and three little dog ladies) watched over my 17 year old Jack Russell Terrier Malcolm.

I have had extensive experience caring for various breeds, from big (Dobermans, pits, labs) to small (Jack russels, Shiba Inus, etc.)! I am experienced with senior dog care and young puppy care. I am open to getting to know your pups schedule, taking them on walks, and providing longer term care for vacations. I am excited to meet you and your pup! I currently work part time from 10am-6pm Wednesdays through Fridays. I am available anytime Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and mornings/late evenings Wednesdays through Fridays! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and am experienced with maintaining safety on walks and during overnight stays. I have my own 2 bedroom apartment that I share with my partner, Matt, where I can board your pets as well!
“Kathleen and her family are an absolute dream! Our puppy was so well cared for, getting lots of love and exercise. Kathleen sent pictures and updates often. I could immediately tell our dog had a great time with Kathleen. I would recommend Kathleen over and over, and we can’t wait to continue having Kathleen in our lives.”
“Anusha is an amazing sitter for our dog. She has made our vacations so smooth knowing we have absolutely nothing to worry about when we’re gone. We receive plenty of happy photos and updates and know any animal in her care will be treated just like her own furry family. .”
