“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!”
“So grateful for Nancy (and Lance!) for their care for my little guy. This was my first time leaving him with someone other than family (he’s got his quirks!) and Nancy instantly put me at ease. I actually felt relaxed on vacation for the first time since adopting him! She sent updates throughout and paid attention to detail. Five stars are not enough. Thank you thank you Nancy and Lance !!!”

“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.”


About: Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm working remotely from home part-time, so have lots of time to spend with doggies. I'm available both weekends and weekdays and rarely leave home for more than a couple hours, so your dog won't be alone for too long. I have a fenced backyard and deck, and two mellow spaniels to keep your doggo company. I also have a crate where your pet can rest if needed.
“Jenna took such good care of my dog while I traveled for the weekend! She was great about sending me lots of updates, confirming that he ate his medications, and giving him walks. My dog looked very cozy and happy in all the photos that were shared!”

“Ceili took such good care of my dog while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and what they were doing throughout each day. She even took her to the dog park and to get a pup cup. My dog is very anxious, but seemed really comfortable around here. 10/10 would recommend her and use her again!”

“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.”


“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 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
“Faith was a GREAT dog sitter! Buster stayed with Faith and her two cute dogs. Buster came home happy from playing with his new friends. Faith sent me pictures of Buster while at her home. I would hire Faith again in a second! Thank you, Faith!”

“Shannon treated my dog like family, taking him on fun walks and hanging out on the deck. She’s fantastic at communication and sent pictures of their adventures. We will definitely book again. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, both my own and others’. I’m currently in a veterinary technician program, which gives me good perspective on the unique needs of your animals. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and life stages as well as cats and even rabbits. I can handle high energy dogs or puppies as well. I am in a veterinary technician program that I do remotely, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets any day of the week! I live in a house with an unfenced yard, therefore because safety is my top priority I will always walk your dog on a leash for potty breaks and outdoor sniffing- they will never be left unattended. I have the capacity to take your dog out for activities like beach walks or hikes, as well as just chilling or snuggling. Because of my schedule I can also accommodate frequent bathroom breaks and specific feeding times. I have a very sweet, friendly resident cat who loves company. We love hosting dogs who are already socialized and comfortable around cats! My only other ask is that your pup be potty trained :)
“Elizabeth is great! Always responsive and keeps me up to date how my doggie is doing. She was able to help me out of a jam where an incident caused me to run over my time to pick up. She worked with me and made sure everything was okay. I’ll be using her again. Recommended 10/10”


About: Hi! I’m Vinny. I’ve owned many different cats and small dogs my whole life, alongside hamsters and even a frog along the way! I love dogs and cats very much, and have experience grooming and caring for them. I have a very open and flexible schedule at the moment, suitable for cat-sitting in your house or mine for days at a time. I also am experienced administering medication via syringe to a cat’s mouth, as well as giving diabetic cats insulin shots via syringe—all through cat-sitting. My roommates are currently gone for the summer while I’m home alone in Santa Cruz, so they will have a very peaceful environment where I can give them all my love if they stay at my house. Likewise, I’ll be able to give them utmost care if boarding at your place with your pets too! I’m currently enrolled in one class that meets Monday and Wednesday mornings in person. However, I’m otherwise able to be home or at others’ homes caring for their pets all day and night! I also bus as a primary form of transformation, and am without a car at the moment. My home is always clean, organized, and without any pets or other people except me at the moment. I have plenty of space to have dog/cat beds, potty pads, and allow them to sleep or be on any of my furniture and bed :) I do own house plants, but have a space I can put them so that cats or other pets I care for won’t accidentally eat any of them. Your pet will be in a safe and caring home with me. ☺️💚
“Yu was great!! For a last second accommodation, Yu was available and happy to have a sleepover with Scott. Will definitely be going through Yu next time I am traveling in or through the area.”

“Miranda was absolutely the best rover! My cats were well cared for and I didn’t doubt they were in good hands. The photos and updates were very much appreciated. Would absolutely hire Miranda again.”


“Shylynn was a great cat sitter. The cat was fed and given fresh water daily. The litter box and area around it was clean when I arrived home. She sent so many great pictures of her playing with and petting my cat. She also spent a long time giving the cat attention- about 40 minutes each day. I would definitely book Shylynn again.”


“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!”


“Claudia housesat for me just one evening but everything went smoothly with keeping inside at night and administering medications in the morning. She came for a visit before the sit and took notes with attention to detail which was appreciated! She also checked in during the visit which I appreciate.”


“Isabella went above and beyond in her care for Petunia, and left the house in perfect condition! My cat was extremely content when I arrived home, as if I had never left. Can’t recommend Isabella enough. Very friendly and easy to communicate with as well!!”


About: I walked my rough collie for the 7 years we had him, and I've taken my friends' dogs on many walks. I took care of my dog as he got older and have immense patience with senior dogs. I'm familiar with different animals' body language and how pets communicate, allowing me to understand what your pet is asking for. I work part-time and have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I have reliable transportation and am happy to drive wherever is necessary. Dogwalking was the first thing I did in the morning and is my favorite way to start the day. In your home, I'm happy to care for your pet's feeding, litter boxes, playful interests, and any other specific needs your pet would like attended to.
“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”


“We greatly appreciate Kael for taking care of Bowie while we were out of town for the holiday. Kael made sure to update us when he arrived, left and fed Bowie. He sent pictures on a daily basis which helped, as we were missing him very much. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away - Bowie appreciates you too!”

“My dog felt very comfortable around Adam, who was really accommodating in coming on short-notice and doing a quick play session to introduce himself to Champ. Adam was also very understanding about giving me updates on my dog throughout his visit. This was the first time my dog was left with someone else in months, and am glad it was with someone I felt I could trust!”

“Jasmine was fantastic with my cat. She’s a great communicator, took care of my pet and was very sensitive to my needs and requests. I will definitely ask for her to care for my pets again.”

“Cheryl was fantastic taking care of our beloved cat, Edwin, and our home. She came to meet Edwin in advance and get a rundown. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates on how things were going. She really gave me peace of mind, knowing that everything was taken care. Thank you Cheryl!”


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: Greetings! My name is Teresa and I am a true dog lover. I have over 20 years of experience caring for my many dogs (I have owned/loved 10 dogs over the years...up to five at one time!) as well as watched their 'cousins' when needed...which has been frequent ;). I will come into your home and follow whatever regimen you require and desire for your pooches so you and they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know how incredibly difficult it can be to find caring and trustworthy people to watch one's canine babies while owners are away--this is my way to give back and help fellow pup parents with this issue. I hope to make many new friends, humans and dogs, in the process as well! Thanks for your consideration! I'm not working at the moment, so very available if necessary. My schedule is very flexible so I can generally be very accommodating to meet your and your fur babies needs. I live alone in my apartment 2 blocks from Twin Lakes. We have Schwan Lagoon trails, and an assortment of beach walks close by. I have a nice sunny balcony with bed/cot and many dog neighbors. If they love people, I have no problem taking them out to socialize.

“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.”

“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.”

“Marina was a pleasure to meet! On short notice she was able to watch our dog Sweet Pea for the afternoon while our family was out at the Boardwalk. She checked in with photos and stories of their walks in her neighborhood too. On top of that She was very graceful with us being a little outside our scheduled time for pickup. Thank you so much Marina, looking forward to having you hang out with Sweet Pea again next time we're down in Santa Cruz.”

“Be honest Guillermo is the first rover I will leave review for. He's very patient to the puppy. My dog is a young eskimo who is very hyper everyday. 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: 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!

“Nohemi was great with pugs. She sent me a ton of pictures and was very accommodating to my schedule which is a huge plus. Pugs was worn out and tired by the time I got her back after spending the day at the beach. Would highly recommend Nohemi to anyone!”

“Natalia is reliable, responsive and a great host. She is extremely flexible, loving and kind. My pup Sam had a wonderful time. She made him feel right at home and took great care of him. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Natalia and Chester!”
“Julia did a fabulous job caring for our pup Summer. She let me know ahead of time about the other pup she was caring for just as a heads up. Summer sometimes gets anxious when we first drop her off, but Summer felt her warm presence and was excited to explore her backyard. I could tell Summer was happy and comfy with Julia.”

“Arrow had a great time with Anna and her pup! She took the time to meet with him at a dog park she thought would be a good space for them and when they went there during their play date, they had a great time. Our dog needs some extra care sometimes, as he can be very high energy and over excited with other dogs and in new situations, and we appreciate Anna's calm demeanor and flexible attitude with him! I fully recommend her <3”


“My 1st dog sitter had to cancel on very short notice. Lilianne was available on the spot and our dogs were very happy to be with her. I highly recommend Lilianne any time you need a great pet sitter! And her location is perfect!”
“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!”

About: 1. Services: I primarily provide housesitting pet care and dog walking 2. Past experience: I have experience doing long term housesitting, dog walking, day care, and farm animal care. 3.

About: What is it about those dog souls? They capture me, each and every one. I am a Registered Nurse with a heart for all dogs. I have had 3 dogs myself, the last one being a bully breed who taught me a great deal of how to work with dogs who require high management. I understand dog behaviors and idiosyncrasies and enjoy working with different personalities. I work from home so can keep eyes on your pup at most all times. I enjoy breaking up the day with a dog walk or training. I am happy to walk, run, play fetch, work on training or any other request during your pups stay. I enjoy spoiling dogs. But I also practice boundaries and behavioral expectations. My rate includes 2 walks a day and/or other exercise. I also provide a stuffed kong and other chewy toys unless you prefer they don't have ☺️ I am a proponent for dog parents to have a fi or gos collar for their pups. I think it's helpful for you as the owner to know where your pup is and the exercise they are getting as well, in an unfortunate/ unlikely event of getting out we can track them. I work from home so am available at most all times. I also have a half acre fenced yard If possible I'd like to do a meet and greet before sitting. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone to take care of you own pup but also to allow into ones home when you are away. I want to ensure owners are comfortable with my level of care and trust you instill with my service

“Jennie has been great at walking my high energy German shorthair puppy. She was very kind and professional. She asked me a lot of detailed questions to see if there were any specific needs she needed to be aware of for my dog. She did a great job following my instructions for any of those specific needs. She was very communicative and punctual. We had to cancel service due to scheduling conflicts (which she communicated to me as soon as it became known), otherwise I would be happy to have her as a weekly dog walker.”

About: Hi! I’m Vinny. I’ve owned many different cats and small dogs my whole life, alongside hamsters and even a frog along the way! I love dogs and cats very much, and have experience grooming and caring for them. I have a very open and flexible schedule at the moment, suitable for cat-sitting in your house or mine for days at a time. I also am experienced administering medication via syringe to a cat’s mouth, as well as giving diabetic cats insulin shots via syringe—all through cat-sitting. My roommates are currently gone for the summer while I’m home alone in Santa Cruz, so they will have a very peaceful environment where I can give them all my love if they stay at my house. Likewise, I’ll be able to give them utmost care if boarding at your place with your pets too! I’m currently enrolled in one class that meets Monday and Wednesday mornings in person. However, I’m otherwise able to be home or at others’ homes caring for their pets all day and night! I also bus as a primary form of transformation, and am without a car at the moment. My home is always clean, organized, and without any pets or other people except me at the moment. I have plenty of space to have dog/cat beds, potty pads, and allow them to sleep or be on any of my furniture and bed :) I do own house plants, but have a space I can put them so that cats or other pets I care for won’t accidentally eat any of them. Your pet will be in a safe and caring home with me. ☺️💚
“Yu was great!! For a last second accommodation, Yu was available and happy to have a sleepover with Scott. Will definitely be going through Yu next time I am traveling in or through the area.”

“Marlene took great care of our boxer while we went away on a family vacation for a week. Excellent communication and lots of daily pictures—which I really appreciated! Our Hazel seemed to be loved and cared for like one of their own! Would definitely book again and highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”

“Kathleen and her family were the perfect pet sitters for my dog. She was super friendly and communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me up to date on everything and sending me lots of cute photos. My dog has lots of energy and she made sure to take him on long runs and walks every day! He loved her, and I felt happy knowing that my dog was being so well taken care of.”
