About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I stick to their feeding schedule and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I also love running, so if a dog is up for it, I’ll happily take them on a jog with me. I build my days around the pets I care for. I usually set aside specific blocks for walks, feeding, and playtime so nothing gets missed. It actually helps me stay structured and active throughout the week. I provide all pet care at the client’s home, never at mine. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment.

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”

“Robin took such great care of Leo the few times I left him with her! She took him on walks and made sure he was well looked after with her family and their other furry friends and always sent pictures to keep me updated. Thank you Robin! Would definitely recommend your services and book again if needed in the area 🙏”

About: I grew up in a house full of animals and pets and have grown to understand and love them fully and I hope to spread that love towards other animals! I can come take care of pets almost every day! I am a working Christian girl so Sundays I have church for an hour, and I just recently started a new job so far my hours are 10am-7pm Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays! I’m available afternoons on Thursdays and I’m available weekends! I believe that pets require an immense amount of attention and affection and I will always create a trusting bond with the pet owners and answer any questions the owners may have!

About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of pet you can think of. I started using Wag a few years ago and fell in love. Each has a specific personality and all are very loving. I have watched my dad’s boxer, my mom’s shitzu, wag customers’ dogs from lab to terrier, a few friends’ cats and most recently began caretaking my own kitten. I have worked with dogs and cats that need to take medication and crate training as well. I am excited to meet your furry friends! I make my own schedule and currently have Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays pretty open. I also can fit in a drop in or quick walk when I am not in meetings! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats while their owner was away. The most important thing to remember is a. Always refer to the owners manual they have given you! And b. Just give them love and keep their routine the same and you’re golden :)

“Wow Cora is amazing! She helped us out during a family emergency and was able to come over to take care of our girls at the last minute. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and even braved the rain to give them exercise. I highly recommend working with Cora.”

About: Hi, I’m Bella! I was born and raised in Sonoma County and live on a ranch with large dogs, horses, and sheep. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, from family pets to farm animals, and I have hands-on experience with everything from pigs and sheep to horses and energetic pups. When I’m not working, I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my Jack Russell, Finn. I’d love the chance to help care for your animal with the same love and attention I give to my own. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule around each client’s needs. I plan my days to make sure pets get consistent walks, playtime, and attention, and I treat their care as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s stopping by for visits, staying overnight, or spending extra time for companionship, I build my week around providing dependable care and keeping pets happy and comfortable. When staying in your home, I care for your pets in their own comfortable and familiar space. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, while keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, and I provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

“Zach has been great. We wanted a walker for 6 weeks while my granddaughter recovered from medical issues. Our rambunctious 70 lb. Golden Retriever juvenile (to big to be called a puppy) loves walking with Zach. He gets sooo excited when Zach arrives! So excited that Zach sometimes has to help get the leash on. All of us will miss having Zach walk Angus.”

Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away.

“Extremely reliable, was able to make a last minute time change. Barkerini seemed very comfortable with her, and now greets her at the door. Jena is going to be a big help when I need to be gone for the day ;-)”
