About: Throughout my younger years at home beginning in middle school, I have been the neighborhoods pet sitter. Whether it was dog walking, cat sitting, and even duck sitting, I was always happy to help. Growing up I always had a special place in my heart for animals. I had everything ranging from a tortoise to a pet rabbit and of course a dog. Growing up in Santa Cruz, I have always enjoyed having an active lifestyle and love getting outside with both high-energy dogs and senior pets who need a slower pace. As someone who played multiple sports all throughout High School, I have become especially good at my time management skill's especially when others are relying on me. As a second-year Agriculture Business student at Cal Poly, I am a dependable, organized, and committed person who takes jobs seriously. You can expect clear communication, updates with both texts and photos, and someone who will give your pet not just the exercise, but also all the love and attention they need to keep them happy and safe. With a shorter Summer this year, I have a ton of free time and am open to dog walking, house sitting, or if needed just drop-in visits. I am available on pretty much all weekdays as well as all day on weekends. Anytime you need a helping hand you can count on me to be there. During walks your pets safety and comfort is my top priority. I always stay aware of my surroundings especially if your dog is more sensitive to others I will make sure to cross the street or do what’s needed to keep your dog in the best hands possible. I also adjust my pacing based on your dogs energy and comfort levels. I am also comfortable handling big or strong dogs keeping them securely leashed unless instructed otherwise. For drop-in visits or house sitting I always follow instructions carefully making sure to go over anything with you I am not 100% sure about before I begin, in order to maintain your pets routine and minimize stress on your pet. I also respect your home and property as if it were my own and will provide consistent updates and photos so you feel comfortable and confident in your pets safety. I just got done with my Freshman year at Cal Poly and have a ton of time this Summer for dog walking and/ or dog sitting. I take my dog on daily beach walks and hikes as well as throw him the ball daily. I am more than willing to stay at my clients house and take care of their pets.
“We went on a last minute trip & Lillian was so amazing with our two cats! One of our cats gets very nervous with people she doesn’t know & she did so well with Lillian. You can tell she really has a love for animals. 100% will book her again!”
About: I have had a cat of my own for 6 years and have also taken care of family friends cats for prolonged periods. I think taking care is more then just feeding so I can ensure i will give your cats attention!!
About: I have had my cat Ryzah for the past 12 years and she is my everything. My cat has undergone 2 serious surgeries so I have plenty of experience caring for recovering pets and giving them medicine. I have also had the pleasure of caring for family and friends cats since I was a kid. I love all types of cats and have experience with cats with different personalities and needs.
About: Cats have a special way of letting you know when you’ve earned their trust, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each one’s unique personality. I’ve owned two cats in the past and currently live with two cats, so I understand that every cat has different needs—some are playful and social, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, medication reminders, or simply someone to check in and provide companionship, I’ll care for them with patience, compassion, and respect for their routine. My goal is to help your cat feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through dependable care, clear communication, and photo updates during every visit.
“Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3”
“Denise took great care of our kitty while we were away a few weeks. She was dedicated and came over a few times before the stay to ensure she could administer the medication. She worked hard to win his love and it’s clear she’s a true animal lover!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life from large to small. From the time I was born we have always had a dog. All three were raised from the puppy stage so I have experience with all age dogs. I also grew up with a rabbit when I was younger and have been around cats all my life also. I am currently working with a very flexible schedule and mostly part time. I have the possibility to adjust my schedule as needed if something comes up. My schedule definitely gives me the ability to give your animals full attention. I have many years of experience house sitting/dog sitting for friends and family. I am good with instructions, responsible, and trustworthy. My number one priority is that your animal is safe and comfortable while you’re not there.
About: Since I was a kid, I have loved all animals. I was fortunate enough to learn how to take care of multiple pet cats and rabbits in our home. I previously volunteered at a bird rehabilitation center, and interned with a sea turtle conservation group in order to help save hatchlings. I also assisted my family in training our pit bull, who was adopted as an extremely anxious and reactive year old puppy. With compassion and patience, he is now a confident adult dog. In addition to pet-sitting, I currently volunteer at the animal shelter in my spare time, providing enrichment to dogs of various ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have taken care of a variety of pets, from cane corsos to chickens. I love spending my time with animals and will make sure I do everything to keep them entertained and at ease. With each animal I meet, I aim to understand their needs and behavior in order to provide proper care. I’m currently in graduate school, so while I am taking classes and working part-time, my schedule is often flexible. I am happy to accommodate you and your pets’ schedule to the best of my availability. I try my best to update my rover calendar, but please know it may not be 100% accurate as my work schedule is weather-dependent. I am flexible and hope to meet the needs of each individual pet and owner. I am happy to come to your home, or take your pets outside in various parks or beaches around town. For your pet’s safety and well-being, I exclusively walk dogs on a leash. I prefer not to use retractable leashes and can bring my own leash if necessary. I require a meet and greet prior to all first time clients. While taking care of your pets, I keep my phone notifications on and respond promptly.
“Melanie was fantastic!! She came over to meet my kittie beforehand, and visited just as expected while I was out of town. And my cat warmed up to her right away! Will definitely be booking again if needed”
“Tarah was fantastic! She did 4 drop-ins a day with our 2 dogs and always sent updates and photos. Our Whippet/Husky mix can be quite a rascal, but Tarah handled her energy very calmly. Very friendly and reliable.”
“Callie takes such good care of our pets! She always fits us in last minute and goes above and beyond. You can tell she really cares about making sure our pets (dog & cat) are well cared for in our absence. Even our shy kitty came to greet her.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and currently care for two indoor cats as well as three barn cats who have all chosen to be friends with me. I have 10 years of veterinary and hands-on animal care experience, so I’m comfortable caring for cats of all personalities, including shy, senior, or special-needs kitties. I can administer medications, including oral doses and injections, and I make sure each cat’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and affectionate environment, keeping litter boxes clean, providing meals on schedule, and giving plenty of attention and playtime. My goal is for every cat to feel secure, loved, and happy while their people are away.

We also had a few unexpected events happen while we were away - he was able to handle them well and make sure our kitties were fine. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have lots of experience with cats.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!

“Keren is fantastic! Her home is such a wonderful place for a dog to stay, and she was a complete professional from first contact until we picked up our Callie. Our pup seemed very happy at the end of the day, and we got great feedback about how she did. I think it would be really hard to find a better sitter on Rover than Keren!”

“My family and I came from out of town to visit Santa Cruz for the day. We had some activities planned that weren’t dog-friendly so we left our pup, Littles, with Hannah. It was a WONDERFUL decision! We got to enjoy Santa Cruz and my pup got to enjoy a restful and loving Saturday with her. He napped, lounged, and got lots of love. You can tell he was super happy at pick up. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

About: For walks: I'm very experienced at dog waking. I can handle big and small dogs. I can move at any pace on walks including running. I like to let the dog set the pace. I will typically ask owners what commands they use with their dogs so I can help keep them trained and have them heel on walks. I always avoid other dogs just in case. And on hot days I plan my walks in advance and leave water out for the dog on the route before I start the walk. For drop ins and sitting: I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm currently a student and since all my classes are online, I will have plenty of time for your pets. I'm free every day, but Thursday and I'm not free Saturday after 6pm I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm great about making sure the house is completely locked up and the key put back in it's place when I'm done.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I don’t believe in rushing through a visit or simply checking a box. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and highly communicative. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet simply needs consistency while you’re away, I’ll provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, I’m happy to keep energetic dogs engaged while also recognizing when a pet needs a slower pace.

“I can’t say enough great things about Celeste! From the minute she first met Breezy, I knew this woman was special. Her communication with me was perfect! Updates, pictures, questions! One day she sensed, correctly, that Breezy was a little tired and didn’t want to go for a long walk. After texting me to ask if it was ok, she hung out in the yard and brushed sweet, tired Breezy and the pictures she sent made me jealous😂. Celeste will always be 1st on my list of dog walkers.”
“Marissa is fantastic. She’s always on time and takes my pup on different walking routes all the time to keep him excited and interested. She lets him take his time sniffing around and people watching. We’ve already referred her to other neighbors and friends. 100% recommend!”

I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a safe and clean space, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and any special needs.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from a young age!! I love running and going to the beach on walks! I have two pets back home who I miss both of which I took to puppy training classes and cared for ! I’m home mainly all weekdays and weekends and my house is close to the beach and many dog parks I love going on runs and I will keep you posted on whatever we do !! I have a fenced back yard !! We also have a huge front yard and my house is walking distance to parks and I also go the beach often !!
About: I am a long term animal lover and trainer. 20 years experience with larger dog breeds. I have a flexible schedule and excellent references. Many years experience with Cats too. Will provide care and feeding, exercise and play, grooming and clean up. Can handle multiple pets. rates flexible depending on type of pets, number of pets and if overnight. I have local references upon request. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of flexible time available to spend giving your dogs, cats and farm animals the very best of care! I provide a complete variety of pet services in your home. I am overly cautious about safety in and out of the home. I take extra precautions when walking your dog near other dogs and with allowing pets outdoors where wild predators can be nearby. I am very aware of other dogs and will not allow to approach unless previously known. My availability changes. Sometimes I work remotely from home doing business office support for clients. This affects the type of pet care assignments that I may accept due to logistics and pet needs. I care for pets in your home only and take dogs on outings and employ daily frequent play and walks. Your pets get lots of attention!

“Hi, I can tell when my dog was not stressed upon return from a boarding experience and our dog, was happy when no the caring hands of Steve and co. I got regular updates and My dog went on long walks and hikes. He had the company of other dogs and behaved in Steve’s presence- him being a trainer himself. Both the parties felt that it was a good fit - before boarding. Will not hesitate to recommend Steve with a glowing 5-stars!”
