“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!”
“Another successful boarding experience with Yajaira for my other dog. My two dogs have very different personalities and behaviors. Yajaira was able to adjust to both and provide excellent care with daily pictures. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
About: I've had dogs for over 10 years and have taken care of dogs and cats with all sorts of needs/medical care such as diabetic, arthritic and eye-sight impaired animals. I trained both of my dogs in agility and behavior classes so I have experience with training and extended behaviors. I volunteer at the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter and have taken multiple classes on dog behavior and dog walking safety. I am currently a UC Santa Cruz student but my schedule is fairly flexible since I commute/live off campus. Currently I only have one class per day, Monday through Friday so I can be present to provide majority of the care with minimal outings. I always ask clients about their yard and preferences for their animals safety in the yard especially at night. Depending on their circumstances, I will scan the yard for any unusual activity and safety concerns. As well as always being in close proximity when the dog wants to go in the front/backyard.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 8 years, whether it be neighbors, friends, or clients. I’ve done week long petsitting and simple day long care as well. I currently have 20 hours of dog walking logged at Santa Cruz animal shelter, working with dogs of all kinds. I am a full time student at UC Santa Cruz, but have a pretty flexible schedule! I mostly attend university in the morning and early afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’m located in a safe neighborhood great for walks. My yard is unfenced, so I would supervise any pets that were to go outside, all depending on the owners comfort with this condition. My home is large, so there’s plenty of room to roam around.
“I’m so glad we found Jenna! Our beloved English Mastiff rescue needs a lot of love and attention which is exactly what he got staying with Jenna and her family. We were updated everyday with how he was doing along with pictures throughout his stay. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be coming back :)”
“Mike & Patty are great!!! We left our dog Buzz for the first time with someone else, and they took fabulous care of him, and our dog is spoiled at home, and has his quirks. We got daily updates, and photos, I will definitely be asking them to take care of Buzz again in the future - thanks so much Patty & Mike!”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of my Labradoodle Mokka for the last 7 years! We have grown up together and she’s taught me so much. I helped train her when she was a puppy, and still help her daily now after she’s grown up. Along with that I have spent time around many different dog breeds amd sizes, and I have yet to find a dog that I can’t get along with. I love to walk , cuddle, and play with these pups any chance I get! Although I currently am in high school, I have time almost everyday after school. I am very flexible, so most times after around 3 works perfect for me! If a problem comes up, I will push to find a solution that is best for the client and myself. Overnight dog sitting or house sitting will not be possible except on weekends, because of school. I’m a very diligent person, and I follow directions carefully. I will give each client 100 % effort, both the owners and their loving pets. I want the pets to feel safe and comfortable, because that is my top priority. Although I will be responsible and careful with all my clients, I will make sure the animals are happy and recirving tons of love as well!
“Yu is wonderful! She is very communicative and professional. She has shown my dogs a lot of love and care. Yu always takes the dogs on lots of walks and adventures, which my dogs love! Will definitely keep booking her. :)”
“Beth watched our Jack Russell and she was great! She was very communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her and will definitely use her again.”
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 11. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets basic needs as well as medical care. I'm a college student I have a lot of free time and I'm looking to fill the time and if I can do so by hanging out with pets I am in. When taking care of your pet, I will follow all of the Instructions you give me order to keep your pet as safe as possible as well as never putting your pet in harms way.
“Angelina was very responsive and updated us with many photos! Her pup Chowder & my Lolli became the best of friends and played non stop. We felt Lolli was in great hands & would highly recommend Angelina to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Kelsey was very communicative and shared pictures of our pets lounging with them and having fun. She was understanding about a few issues our pugs have and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our dogs with Kelsey again. Thanks so much Kelsey!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Shannon! It was our dog’s first time staying with someone other than family and we were very nervous about leaving our dog Luna in someone’s care especially for a week but Shannon was absolutely wonderful. She did an amazing job at keeping us updated and sending us pictures regularly. We were especially grateful that she was willing to accommodate our dog’s needs by being the only dog in the house since Luna isn’t always the best around other pets. Shannon and her husband gave so much love and attention to our dog and we are really excited that we have found someone that we trust and feel very comfortable leaving Luna in their care in the future.”

“Trina took great care of my two elderly cats! She put in extra effort to give one of the their medication. She was respectful of my property. I would definitely call her again!”
“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.”
“Jasmine was great, our plans changed so we had to contact her last minute but she was able come through for us and watch our cat. He’s a shy guy who usually takes a while to warm up to people but she managed to get him to be friendly right away”
About: I’ve been a cat lover since high school when I got my first cat, Daisy. She’s been my best friend ever since, and caring for her has given me valuable hands-on experience in cat care. From feeding and grooming to cleaning her litter box and ensuring she feels loved and comfortable, I understand the dedication and attention cats need. Whether your cat is playful and energetic or more independent and reserved, I’ll provide personalized care to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.
“David was really easy to work with and very flexible. I extended my vacation by a day and David was able to continue past the original dates set up for his drop-ins. I loved the pictures each visit. Everything looked good when I returned. I will ask him to sit again in the future.”
“Shylynn did a wonderful job caring for my pets and keeping me updated on her arrival, departure and their well being. It was my first time using Rover and meeting Shylynn but I had nothing to worry about it all went very well. Thank you for your support. It is wonderful to have a reliable nanny which will enable me to travel without worry.”
“Susie was great! She was incredibly responsive from the very beginning, got back to me within minutes of my initial message, and was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She also took the time to set up a meet & greet beforehand so she could meet Ausi and Lilo and make sure everyone was comfortable and it was a good fit. Everything went smoothly with her drop-in visit, and I felt very comfortable knowing the dogs were in good hands. We’re already looking forward to having Susie back for a longer house-sitting stay next month!”
“Miranda was a great cat sitter, keeping in contact with us and pivoting to letting in the heater repairman unexpectedly. She took great care of our kitty and left us an adorable “kitty report card” afterwards. I’d definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our two kitties! We just added a new kitten to the family and it was our first time leaving them alone. Jennifer gave us wonderful detailed updates, lots of pictures, and provided a few suggestions. Much appreciated! We felt so comfortable with her taking care of our little ones. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats for my whole life. From being with cats all the time, I’ve learned their habits and how to take care of them without disturbing their peace.

About: Hello! My name is Anna, and I am currently studying to become a veterinarian in Santa Cruz, CA. I have worked professionally with animals for the past nine years and always treat every fur baby as if they are my own. I have built this experience through my independent pet-sitting business, my four years as a sales consultant at Pet Food Express, and my volunteer work as a cat and kitten socializer at a local shelter. I am also a mama to both my wonderful cat, Lemon, and my 16-year-old dog, Leo! I am currently very flexible with my schedule and am available for both day and overnight pet sitting. I strive not only to make your pet(s) feel as comfortable as possible, but also to help every owner feel as though they left their pet in the right hands. I love to provide as many updates and photos of your fur baby as you may want! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I do have limited experience with reptiles as well. I have additionally worked with animals of all temperaments, and I understand that new faces can be anxiety-inducing for some. I will always tailor each experience specifically to the needs of your animal and what will help bring them the most happiness :) Specific areas of expertise for me that may not be found elsewhere include caring for senior pets and animals who may have special needs. Through my studies, I have developed a strong foundation in primary veterinary concerns and how to properly care for an animal when they may not be feeling their best. As a current undergraduate student who pet-sits as my primary job, I am very flexible and open to caring for your animals! At most, I drive up to campus once a day for approximately two hours in the afternoon. I leave the rest of my day open to keeping your fur baby the best possible company. Pet safety is always my number one priority! I currently live in an apartment complex that contains a fenced yard, a dog park directly behind my apartment, and plenty of dog-friendly walking trails nearby. Our apartment is fairly spacious, and I have found that animals tend to love the large windows and amount of light we receive. For cats, I always ensure that all windows and doors are locked, and there are no possible escape routes (I know how sneaky cats can be)! I do currently have a very friendly cat living with me.
“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”
About: I’ve got experience dog-sitting, and dog-walking, as well as living with dogs and love when I get the chance to take care of them. I’ve had a dog my entire life until her recent passing and have loved and cared for all animals even before I got one. I’m incredibly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, types, and temperaments. This includes sick dogs with medication, senior pups, and various exercise needs. I have saved my dog from a life-threatening attack and provided intensive care, so I work well in a potentially contentious environment. I’m a full time student but my schedule is incredibly loose. I get to choose when I work on my senior project and go to class so I’m available whenever essentially. I only have to be in class Monday and Wednesday from 5-7! Other than that feel free to schedule me. I have a wonderful medium sized fenced yard and live close to Westlake park which has ample grass and play area. My roommates do live with me but are comfortable with the situation and all dog-friendly!

Each pet gets personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles tailored to their vibe. Think of it as a furry sleepover with lots of TLC!
“Taylor was a last-minute godsend! Super-communicative and lovely with Baker, who had a great time walking all the way to the beach and back, and therefore slept like a champ. Thanks again, Taylor, can't wait for next time!”

About: I have pet care experience of at least 8 years, and I really enjoy taking care of pets, they bring me so much joy. And if you need someone who is energetic to take care of your pet, just let me know! I am currently enrolled at UCSC, so I am unable to take care of pets when I have class Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:20-2:25pm and Wednesdays 5:20-6:25pm. I am also unavailable on Saturdays all day. Other than that, I can fit pet care in between my schedule every day of the week except Saturdays! Since I live in an apartment with roommates who have a dog and a cat, I am unable to take care of pets at my home. However, I can pet sit at anybody’s home! I have experience doing overnight pet sitting without any flaws in making sure they’re fed and that they’ve been consistently played with throughout the day.

About: Hi there! I love dogs and would love to have one of my own but have to settle for dog sitting since I don’t have a big place for any right now. I have had my account rover account in the past that I’d be happy to share. Made a new account since sin moving locations. Please reach out with any questions!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and all ages! I grew up training and caring for a strong and stubborn German Shepherd. In the past few years, I’ve lived with a Retriever puppy - training him to be a sociable young man that goes potty outside. I’m the go-to for my friends and family when it comes to pet sitting. They trust me with their fur babies and appreciate how I maintain the routine their pet is familiar with.

“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!”
“Another successful boarding experience with Yajaira for my other dog. My two dogs have very different personalities and behaviors. Yajaira was able to adjust to both and provide excellent care with daily pictures. Thank you!”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
About: I've had dogs for over 10 years and have taken care of dogs and cats with all sorts of needs/medical care such as diabetic, arthritic and eye-sight impaired animals. I trained both of my dogs in agility and behavior classes so I have experience with training and extended behaviors. I volunteer at the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter and have taken multiple classes on dog behavior and dog walking safety. I am currently a UC Santa Cruz student but my schedule is fairly flexible since I commute/live off campus. Currently I only have one class per day, Monday through Friday so I can be present to provide majority of the care with minimal outings. I always ask clients about their yard and preferences for their animals safety in the yard especially at night. Depending on their circumstances, I will scan the yard for any unusual activity and safety concerns. As well as always being in close proximity when the dog wants to go in the front/backyard.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 8 years, whether it be neighbors, friends, or clients. I’ve done week long petsitting and simple day long care as well. I currently have 20 hours of dog walking logged at Santa Cruz animal shelter, working with dogs of all kinds. I am a full time student at UC Santa Cruz, but have a pretty flexible schedule! I mostly attend university in the morning and early afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’m located in a safe neighborhood great for walks. My yard is unfenced, so I would supervise any pets that were to go outside, all depending on the owners comfort with this condition. My home is large, so there’s plenty of room to roam around.
“I’m so glad we found Jenna! Our beloved English Mastiff rescue needs a lot of love and attention which is exactly what he got staying with Jenna and her family. We were updated everyday with how he was doing along with pictures throughout his stay. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be coming back :)”
About: I have been taking care of my Labradoodle Mokka for the last 7 years! We have grown up together and she’s taught me so much. I helped train her when she was a puppy, and still help her daily now after she’s grown up. Along with that I have spent time around many different dog breeds amd sizes, and I have yet to find a dog that I can’t get along with. I love to walk , cuddle, and play with these pups any chance I get! Although I currently am in high school, I have time almost everyday after school. I am very flexible, so most times after around 3 works perfect for me! If a problem comes up, I will push to find a solution that is best for the client and myself. Overnight dog sitting or house sitting will not be possible except on weekends, because of school. I’m a very diligent person, and I follow directions carefully. I will give each client 100 % effort, both the owners and their loving pets. I want the pets to feel safe and comfortable, because that is my top priority. Although I will be responsible and careful with all my clients, I will make sure the animals are happy and recirving tons of love as well!
“Yu is wonderful! She is very communicative and professional. She has shown my dogs a lot of love and care. Yu always takes the dogs on lots of walks and adventures, which my dogs love! Will definitely keep booking her. :)”
“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”
“Kelsey was very communicative and shared pictures of our pets lounging with them and having fun. She was understanding about a few issues our pugs have and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our dogs with Kelsey again. Thanks so much Kelsey!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Shannon! It was our dog’s first time staying with someone other than family and we were very nervous about leaving our dog Luna in someone’s care especially for a week but Shannon was absolutely wonderful. She did an amazing job at keeping us updated and sending us pictures regularly. We were especially grateful that she was willing to accommodate our dog’s needs by being the only dog in the house since Luna isn’t always the best around other pets. Shannon and her husband gave so much love and attention to our dog and we are really excited that we have found someone that we trust and feel very comfortable leaving Luna in their care in the future.”
“Marie saved me for a last minute booking. I’m on the road traveling with 2 Shelties. She has a beautiful safe clean home. Fenced backyard and hiking trails. My fur babies were well taken care of! I highly recommend Marie for daycare or overnights. She was wonderful! I absolutely would book her again when in town. Thank you Marie!!!🐾”
“Kimberly is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter! She was available to board my large, high energy dog in her home on short notice and gave him the same amount of love and care as if he were her own. I was able to trust her taking my dog to the park, around other dogs, and in off-leash areas. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Lauren was great! She was flexible, communicative, and went out of her way to help us out by picking Bodhi up from our house. Will definitely reach out again next time we go out of town!”
“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.”
“My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
