Yajaira was wonderful with our dog Luna! She sent many photos of their dog walks together and I just knew Luna was in good hands! She communicated well and had quick responses. I would recommend her as a sitter from the care that was given to my Luna. Thank you Yajaira!

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.

Elizabeth and Coco were so welcoming to Rocky. I appreciate Elizabeth's flexibility in watching Rocky while I attended a wedding nearby. She was in regular communication about how Rocky adjusted, and sent pics of her cuddling with both dogs. She took great care of my little guy. She lives in a beautiful beach home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including working at a dog daycare caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Pet CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I’m patient, dependable, loving, and comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need a good walk and playtime to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like I would want someone to treat my own—with love, respect, patience, and plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I enjoy making walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s individual schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, safe walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention.

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!

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!

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s been a lifelong passion. I’ve spent over **30 years raising and caring for dogs**, both my own and those in my community, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own pups. Dogs are truly magical, and I show up for them in a way that honors that. I also **volunteer at the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter**, which keeps me connected to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That experience helps me stay calm, confident, and adaptable in any situation. Training is another part of my world. The basic training I’ve done with my own dogs — **Dexter (13)** and **Nyla (almost 3)** — is a reflection of my consistency and understanding of dog behavior. They’re both friendly, social, and wonderful with other dogs, which creates a positive, welcoming environment for visiting pups. Because I **work from home**, I’m able to offer constant supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. I also watch my friend’s dog three times a week, so your pup will have built‑in buddies if they enjoy social time. Daily life with me includes **walks, parks, hikes, beach trips, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles**. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Above all, I care for every dog as if they’re my own — with heart, intention, and joy. I currently work from home as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Walking/hiking, going to parks/beach and sometimes the dog park is part of both mine and my own pups daily routine. I am able to be flexible with my schedule if needed. 🐾 How I Care for Pets in My Home or Yours Whether your dog stays with me or I come to your home, my approach is the same: safety, comfort, routine, and genuine love. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and make sure they feel secure, understood, and happy. 🏡 In My Home I maintain a calm, structured environment with plenty of affection and enrichment. Your dog becomes part of the family — with supervised play, snuggle time, and a predictable routine. I work from home, so pets are rarely alone and always monitored. Daily activities include walks, parks, hikes, beach trips, and mental stimulation. My own dogs, Dexter and Nyla, are friendly, social, and help create a positive, welcoming atmosphere. I keep feeding, potty, and training routines consistent with what your dog is used to. 🐕‍🦺 In Your Home I follow your dog’s established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I respect your home, keep things clean, and maintain your pet’s schedule exactly as you prefer. I provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Kimberley was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our pup! We felt so comfortable leaving Hazel with her for the afternoon. She had a little set up for Hazel as soon as we arrived and took her to the park. We would trust her to care for Hazel anytime!

About: I grew up in a house with three dogs and four cats, so taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have been dog and cat sitting for others for over 8 years. I have a dog of my own, Layla, who is genuinely the light of my life, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pet is with someone who will love and care for them while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, playtime, and keeping your pet company throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible! I have years of experience walking, watching, and caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their individual personality. Whether they love long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and get some extra attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I truly believe our pets are family, and I’ll always treat yours like they’re part of mine. You can expect lots of love, attention, and plenty of cute updates while they’re with me! 🐾 I’m currently working fully remote so I have plenty of time to care for your sweet animals! Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings are all open I believe that animals should only be treated with love, and gentle care, and that dogs are as good as the people caring for them! Making sure I take the time to make your pet comfortable means a lot to me, as I would want someone to do the same with my dog!

Libby was great!! She accommodated a super last minute request to watch Opal and was so sweet. We felt very comfortable having her watch Opal as soon as we met her; our pup is timid around strangers and usually has a hard time settling down, but she was able to fall asleep for a bit which was amazing 😌 We would absolutely have Libby watch Opal again the next time we’re in town!

Guillermo brought my dog for several walks everyday and send me pictures. My dog came back home tired lol. He's very responsible as well! My dog learn several tricks from him. He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.

About: Hi! I'm Seth. and I have over 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. I have returned to California and I am now located in Santa Cruz! I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, all sizes and all ages. I am patient, kind and maintain a tidy, safe, and relaxed environment, caring for your animals and your home, inside and out. I spend my free time volunteering at equine rescues. I live a relatively quiet life, keeping my social circle very small which works well with dedicating myself to providing a full time pet care service. I am also experienced with special needs and senior dogs, and up until very recently, I was a daily volunteer at Starry Skies Equine Rescue and Sanctuary in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I worked to provide gentle, attentive care to horses, mules, donkeys, ponies, goats, pigs 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/day" 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.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including working at a dog daycare caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Pet CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I’m patient, dependable, loving, and comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need a good walk and playtime to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like I would want someone to treat my own—with love, respect, patience, and plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I enjoy making walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to work around each dog’s individual schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, safe walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention.

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!

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!

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!

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.
