“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Trixie during our recent travels. You two are the best! It's hard for us to leave Trixie, but we are always comfortable leaving her with you. And I think she settles in with you quite well! Best, Judith & Mike”
“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.”
“Nancy took care of our little dog, Chauncey, for ten days and went above and beyond for him! He is very skittish, but she is so kind, gentle and compassionate that he loved her and followed her everywhere. She knew Chauncey would sleep best if his dog bed was right next to her bed, so she made room for him there. She gave him his medication at night and also kept a careful eye out for bees, since he is very allergic to them. Chauncey enjoyed spending time with Nancy and her dogs, and we could enjoy our vacation knowing that he was in a great home, with the nicest person, receiving excellent care.”
“Jenna and her family took excellent care of Mojo and sent updates as to how he was doing. Their two dogs were playful with Mojo and everyone got along. Jenna’s daughter greeted me as I picked Mojo up from their house and shared how much they enjoyed Mijo being with them and I could tell from her sweet and sincere expressions that they enjoyed him and he enjoyed them; no anxiety in his part or mine. Would use again when back in the area and have need.”
About: Hello! I am a 26 year old grad student attending Santa Clara University pursuing a counseling degree. I have grown up with dogs and currently co-parent a 3 year old pit mix, Levi! 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!
“Yajaira was wonderful with our pups and really easy to work with. I'm so glad she also has a pup that my dog could play with. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks Yaijara!”
“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
“We boarded our dog for a three night stay while we traveled out of town to visit family. We have a friend who normally pet-sits for us in our home but she was not available, so this was the first time I'd left my dog in a new home with a new person. We did a "meet and greet" with Hannah before our trip and she greatly reassured us with her welcoming and friendly manner. Hannah was very good at communicating before and while we were away, and she was very accommodating when we had to change both the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent me a photo of our dog lying comfortably next to her on the sofa within the first hour after we left and kept us posted with updates. I recommend Hannah and will definitely use her again if we need a petsitter.”
“Leo was so good with my Ice Bear. I was updated with her daily activities and received pictures as well. I felt reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would love to have Ice Bear stay with Leo again. Thank you.”
About: I've been taking care of animals for quite some time now! I have two senior dogs myself and snakes. I look forward to meeting you both! I usually have a routine with my senior puppies, therefore creating one that suits your dog's needs will be no problem at all! I'm flexible at the moment since it's summertime. I will follow the safety protocols! If there are any additional instructions or care needed that will be applied to the routine as well. Ensuring all doors and windows are locked while all food is put away.
“Guillermo was great! My dog came home tired and happy. He was also very accommodating to some of Vinny’s behavior and gave him a chance to settle in. Needless to say, that behavior resolved itself and I will be using Guillermo’a services again!”
“Marlene, Miguel, and their family were fantastic to work with! We boarded our pup last minute, over a holiday, and Marlene was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and Marlene made it easy. She was great about sending pictures and putting our minds at ease. Her own two dogs are very sweet and friendly—our guy had no issues being part of their pack. Highly recommend ☺️”
“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”
“Yu provided an excellent experience for my dog, who is easily overstimulated and has anxiety issues. She is caring and dedicated. Yu provided many photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. I will definitely book her again!”
“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.”

“Marissa was wonderful. She was warm and great with the cats. Communication was perfect and we felt very comfortable with her caring for our babes. We will definitely book her services again in the future. 💕”
About: I am an animal lover who believes pet care should be equal parts adventure, comfort, and genuine connection. I have a special knack for cats, even the shy or skittish ones who usually keep their distance. More often than not, they end up curled up beside me. I truly love animals and treat every dog and cat in my care as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, exercised, and completely comfortable while you are away.
About: I have grown up with cats for my whole life, started to help caring for neighbors cats as a child. Now, I have repeat clients who trust me and see how I have bonded with their cats. I am patient and love getting to know cats at their own pace.
About: I have previous pet sitting experience with cats, and understand the unique needs of each individual cat! I understand firsthand how some cats need more space and time to warm up, while others (…orange cats) are wild from day one! Regardless, I am looking forward to getting to know your cat and taking great care of them:)
About: My cat is my third child and I take pride in caring for all his needs. I clean my liter box daily and make sure my cat has active play time. I love how playful cats can be and look forward to entertaining new cats.
“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!”
“Melanie is awesome! I am so glad she is able to watch our kitties. She is phenomenal with them. I always feel very relieved knowing she is watching my babies when I am out of town. She goes above and beyond what I would expect from a petsitter. We had a bit of an ant problem while we were away and she took care of it quickly and diligently. She really gives us the peace of mind we need when out of town. And she send pictures of every visit! Which is always a delight.”
About: I currently have a pet cat and dog. I've had them for two years. I understand that both are completely different and have different needs. I'm able to work well with both (: I make sure to take my dog on daily walks as well as giving her baths when needed. I also set aside time for quality time / cuddle / play time for my pets every day. In my home, our pets are treated like family members. Their safety is very important to me. I make sure they get their exercise in, stay clean, eat well, and get the attention they need!
About: I am a kitty mother who loves dogs too! I’m lucky to have a neighbor to car for my awesome cat Travis when I travel. I live in Santa Cruz and enjoy spending weekends away. I am clean, quiet and non-smoking and take good care of homes and pets. I am generally available from Friday afternoons to Sunday afternoons within a two hour drive from Santa Cruz, longer at holidays. Love SF, Oakland, Berkeley, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Carmel. I am very experienced with cat care and love little to medium sized dogs too. Background in real estate and vacation rentals. Light garden care too.
About: I’ve been cat sitting since I was young, dropping in to take care of both indoor and outdoor cats. As a cat mom myself, I know how each cat reacts differently with strangers. I’m happy to follow any instructions and give attention to your cat however you and they wish!
About: As a massage therapist for over 25 years, I have worked on horses, cats, and dogs as well as people. I include FREE therapeutic massage to pets I care for. I've always had a dog and have been very honored to work with and care for dogs. I have owned and worked with dominant breed dogs, sharing with their owners how to support best behavior when asked. I understand canine psychology and genuinely love dogs. When I work, it's online via Zoom so I am available to be physically present for your animal(s) 100%. I am an avid hiker/ walker and I'm up early. I enjoy playing with and giving them attention. I have a calm presence which puts animals at ease, yet I understand how to manage challenging behaviors, should they arise. I follow your requests and preferences. I walk dogs early and usually at least twice a day. I maintain awareness and listen for signs to take them outside to go potty or walk, allowing them to sniff around. Once dogs realize I'm a 'pack leader' they usually feel more safe and challenges disappear. Right now I am not able to have a dog in my home. Thank you for sharing your fur-baby with me while you are away.
About: I’m a proud owner of a crazy dog and a wannabe independent cat, and I’ve been pet sitting for most of my neighbors, taking their dogs on walks, and making sure all of their animals are fed and have had some time to play! I love all animals and I can handle anything from the most energetic puppy to a grumpy cat. I’m something of a pet whisperer I’m currently in highschool, so my scheduling for the next couple months is Monday-Thursday after 1:45pm, Fridays after 12:15, Saturdays after 3:15, and anytime Sunday I can stop by once a day or multiple times a day depending on what is desired in order to feed, check on water, take on walks, or just to get some play time in. Also super down to just keep your pets company for a while, because I know some of them miss their people.

“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!”

“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!”

“Libby was a kind, compassionate, and diligent caregiver to my dog! Easy to work with, easy to communicate with, I felt she listened to me when explaining my dog's needs which made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I would definitely ask Libby to watch my pup again anytime and am glad to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. My dog was relaxed, happy, and not at all anxious when I picked him up.”

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.”
About: Hi! I'm Seth. and I have over 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. I am about to move back to California from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I will be available for pet care in the Santa Cruz area after August 21st. I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, all sizes and all ages. I am also capable of offering equine care. I'm patient, kind and maintain a tidy, safe, and relaxed environment, caring for your animals and your home, inside and out. I'm experienced with special care needs and up until I left Michigan was a daily volunteer at Starry Skies Equine Rescue and Sanctuary in Ann Arbor, providing gentle, attentive care to horses, mules, goats and cattle. Dogs & cats are my primary specialty, but I connect easily with all animals. I pet sit as a full time job and I will be seeking equine rescue volunteer opportunities to fill my availability. My availability is generally wide open. I do not have a "regular" job. I offer a true, full time pet sitting service. We will start with a 15-30 minute in-home meet and greet. Please provide a printed list detailing veterinary office/phone number, preferred emergency animal hospital, routines/routes, typical walk times and duration, and any helpful reminders that will help me in keeping your dog(s) and other animals safe and happy. A one time demonstration of your preferred feeding schedule/routine is a good idea, so if possible the meet and greet should be as close to this time as possible, allowing me to feed them will start the trust association into my care. Unfortunately, I'm not hosting any animals in my home at this time.
“Jared was great with my dogs and very quick to respond as well as proactive with scheduling and communication. My dogs were very happy when he met them and were nice and tired after their walk. Jared also listened well and followed my instructions. I will definitely have Jared come back!”
“Dylan was available to walk Mika on very short notice and was super responsive & friendly. He sent photos and left a great summary of their walk together. I’m sure Mika had lots of fun and definitely trust using his services again!”
“Shylynn is great. When I was walking Maggie the other morning I ran into a neighbor with her dog and she told how lovely she thought Shylynn was. In the pictures Shylynn sends me, Maggie always looks like she's really enjoying herself ”
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.

About: My name is Jana and I am a big time animal lover! I grew up with alaskan malamutes, hermit crabs, freshwater fish, and currently have 2 cats (Mactavish and Charley). I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, with specifics in senior and large dogs. I currently am on summer break and not working, so my availability is open and super flexible! I am free from 7am-8pm Sunday-Friday! Because I have cats that live at my home, I cannot offer boarding. However, I am happy to do drop-ins at your home. I am always very respectful of the places I visit and can offer whatever care your pet needs.
About: I have had animals growing up my whole life. I love all types of animals and love being outside!

“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”
About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met. I always make sure to spend extra quality time with the dog if I noticed that it is feeling sad that its owners are away.
About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.

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!
“Yajaira was wonderful with our pups and really easy to work with. I'm so glad she also has a pup that my dog could play with. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks Yaijara!”
“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
“We boarded our dog for a three night stay while we traveled out of town to visit family. We have a friend who normally pet-sits for us in our home but she was not available, so this was the first time I'd left my dog in a new home with a new person. We did a "meet and greet" with Hannah before our trip and she greatly reassured us with her welcoming and friendly manner. Hannah was very good at communicating before and while we were away, and she was very accommodating when we had to change both the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent me a photo of our dog lying comfortably next to her on the sofa within the first hour after we left and kept us posted with updates. I recommend Hannah and will definitely use her again if we need a petsitter.”
“Leo was so good with my Ice Bear. I was updated with her daily activities and received pictures as well. I felt reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would love to have Ice Bear stay with Leo again. Thank you.”
“Guillermo was great! My dog came home tired and happy. He was also very accommodating to some of Vinny’s behavior and gave him a chance to settle in. Needless to say, that behavior resolved itself and I will be using Guillermo’a services again!”
“Marlene, Miguel, and their family were fantastic to work with! We boarded our pup last minute, over a holiday, and Marlene was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and Marlene made it easy. She was great about sending pictures and putting our minds at ease. Her own two dogs are very sweet and friendly—our guy had no issues being part of their pack. Highly recommend ☺️”
“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”
“Yu provided an excellent experience for my dog, who is easily overstimulated and has anxiety issues. She is caring and dedicated. Yu provided many photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. I will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Let's start at the beginning: My mother was a vet tech, so I basically grew up around animals. I've been dog sitting/walking for friends and family since I was 16 and have always found it to be a rewarding experience. This past year I became certified as a dog trainer in an effort to expand my knowledge of animal behaviors. I have definitely found this new knowledge to be extremely helpful with my business as a whole, not just with training. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy named Calcifer. He's a little fireball and brings joy to my life every day! I'm a very friendly and outgoing individual with keen attention to detail. Your dog will be in great hands with me. Should you choose me, neither you nor your dog will regret it! Pet care is my full-time job. I know every pet owner has their typical schedule for their animals. I will work with you to have your pet's needs met. I care for your pets as if they are my own. I know that I would want my pet to be well cared for whilst I am away and I will use all of the experience I have gained in my career to keep yours happy and safe.
“Shannon and her husband were so wonderful with our dog Luna! This was her first stay and we were a little nervous but Shannon did a great job at communicating and giving us updates on how she was doing. Luna absolutely loved them and is looking forward to her next stay.”
“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!”
“Teresa is an amazing dog sitter! Our senior dog was so well cared for while we were gone. We got lots of updates and pictures and I’m 100% sure our dog didn’t want to come home. Teresa went above and beyond, absolutely would recommend her to anyone. A million stars!”
About: I grew up caring for my golden doodle and have loved dogs ever since! I love being around dogs and will often dog sit or help friends walk their dogs when they’re not able to. I spend a lot of time outdoors so I would be more than happy to take your dog out for long walks and in any environment they enjoy being in. Please get in touch if you have more questions about my experience! I have a flexible schedule now until October so I can take care of your dog at any time that is convenient for you. I am available for daily walks and boarding if you need it! I am all about communication and learning what works best for your dog so I can provide the best care possible. I want to know the ground rules and what you’re comfortable with to ensure you furry friend is happy.
