Santa Cruz Dog Sitters

Hi! My name is Katy. I love animals and growing up my house was often called a zoo because of the number and variety of animals we had. I helped train and take care of multiple of the fun companions. I have paid experience taking care of dogs, which I did at the end of college and the year following. Over the years I have also taken care of animals while friends/family were out of town. *I am here to take care of all your animal needs! I can walk them, feed them, clean their belongings, clean up after them, help with their training (dogs), pick up supplies, and provide cuddles.* If you would like me to also do anything around the house (e. g. organizing, cleaning, etc.) I can do that as well. In the past I often would housesit while watching dogs so I can open to that. A few facts about me: - hardworking - caring - friendly - creative - detail oriented - passionate about holistic health - lover of all things outdoors

I have been pet sitting for about six years. I have always grown up with cats and dogs so I know so I know how to care for them. I also love being outside, so walking and playing with dogs at the park/beach is something I really enjoy. I have references that can be provided upon request.

I provide animal care, ranging from dog walking to dog or cat sitting in your home. I have been working with animals for 10 years now, accompanied by over 700 hours of community service walking dogs, fostering kittens, puppies and special needs animals at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. I am a trusted caregiver in my community, because I provide the animals with more than just basic needs. I strive to connect with each animal and help them feel loved and happy while in my care. I truly love working with animals, and getting to know each unique personality is heartwarming for me. I have experience working effectively with many different temperaments, including misbehaved dogs. Family friends call me "The Cat Whisperer" due to my history of working with frightened or aggressive kittens and helping them accept a loving nature. I have a sore spot for animals that need extra love and attention to come out of their shells. Any animal in my care will not have their needs overlooked!

Hello! I have owned dogs my whole life. Currently I have 2, 7-month-old Australian shepherd mixes. They are wonderful! We hike every day and go to the beach (Manresa) often. I would love to do the same with your four-legged family member!

I am available to provide dog sitting and walking. As a student, I am eager to get outdoors and I would love to take a four legged friend with me! I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I currently own two dogs, a golden retriever and a golden doodle who live at home with my parents. I am able to perform baths and light grooming as necessary. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes.

I have cared for large and small dogs for over 20 years. I also make natural pet food and treats.

I can provide animal sitting in your own home. I have my own car and commute to you and your pet. I specialize in dog care but I am also very comfortable with all kinds of animals including birds and reptiles. I have worked at a dog daycare for the past 2 1/2 years with a lot of experience and great references. I will be starting a vet job where I will be getting a lot of medical experience. I can also perform baths, feed, walk, or just let out your animal for potty.

Been around cats and dogs my whole life. I have cats now. I've taken a few animal science classes at Mt SAC. I cannot wait to meet your furry friends.

I have 2 years of experience of house sitting while taking care of multiple types of cats and dogs. I can help with Pet Transportation, Pet Walking, and Pet Sitting. I love being around animals and providing them with the proper care and love.

Hello! My name is Julianne and I just recently moved to Santa Cruz from San Francisco. I have been an animal lover my entire life, having multiple pets growing up ranging from dogs/cats to birds and hamsters. Before I moved, I would cat sit for my sister biweekly and recently boarded a family friends' dog for two weeks. I am very mature, gentle, experienced, and caring. I have experience with both small and larger breeds, so no job is too big or too small! Feel free to direct message me for more information!

I've had and have dogs and cats of my own. My German Shepard went totally blind at age 5 and lived till he was 12. We hiked off leash, (mostly) daily. He taught me a lot. My current 2 cats both came to live with me on their own terms, (1 feral, 1 abandoned). I like to think I have a special relationship with the animals in my life. I can bath yours, do some light grooming, and even give a message if they don't mind. The past year and a half I took care of a senior who had a Golden Retriever so naturally I took care of the man, his dog and his cat. Love those animals.

I was a house-sitter for two years and took care of two dogs and a cat! They were so sweet and it was a super fun job. I also was a counselor at a horse camp for my equestrian center for all my high school years. I have care experience with dogs, cats, fish, and horses.

I have a deep love for animals and would love to help out families as needed with their pets. I have experience with dog sitting for family and friends, so I have references if needed. I am responsible, caring, and loving towards animals. I am comfortable with all breeds or dogs/cats. Not only that, but I am willing to take care of the house while you may be gone and take care of any chores you might need taken care of. I look forward to hearing from you !

I am a Santa Cruz local who has extensive experience with pet sitting. Not only have I taken care of many fur babies both short term and long term I live in a household where between all of us we have seven dogs! I can offer all forms of pet sitting. Whether it be stay with your animals in your home or go to your home and visit, play, walk and feed them. I have worked with where daily medication is needed. I would love the opportunity to have more animals in my life. I have a 9 lb. extremely friendly Shih Tzu who would love more play dates. Please let me know your needs.

Hi there! I'm a huge animal person. I own a dog, two cats, over 20 fish, and have cared for a number of rodents over the years. I started walking dogs when I was 12 and have always loved being around pets. Whether you're looking for someone to feed the cat or to house sit while you're out of town, I keep an open availability and am always eager to meet a new family. Thanks!

Hi! My name is Bella and I have been working with dogs for around 5 years, however professionally I have been working as a dog boarder and dog walker for many dogs of all shapes, behaviors and sizes. I have walked/checked in on over 50 dogs and have experience with any situation imaginable. I live with 3 roommates. Regularly get tested for covid and home 24/7.

I worked as a pet sitter for three years with a pet care agency. I went to five homes a day on average to care for dogs, cats and other pets. Dog care included walking, feeding, and giving medicines. In addition to daily visits, I routinely did overnight stays in clients' homes to care for their pets. I had several multiple week long stays in homes, was always clean, tidy, responsible and reliable. I guarantee that your pet will get all of the love and care that he or she gets when you're around!

I have taken care of animals my whole life. In the past I have owned dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. Before leaving for school, back home I was a house/ pet sitter for multiple families. I have a special place in my heart for animals and would be so happy to share the love with your pet!

I have pet sit for friends and family many times in the past and I have dogs and a cat of my own. I am an animal lover and have no fear of multiple or larger dogs.

I provide dog sitting in your own home. I am experienced with dogs as I have grown up with all different breeds and sizes, and I love all dogs!
