8. Nancy K.
“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”

She is a kind, caring, and empathetic person that always brings peace to those around her, and every animal i've seen her interact with. You can trust that she will take into consideration any concerns a pet owner may have, and she is even proactive in thinking about what my dog may need whenever he is over at her place. I highly recommend her to anyone looking care for their pet!”

14. Desiree Y.
About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.
15. Tal & Uriel N.
“Very satisfied with Paco‘s care they made Paco feel safe and loved. The caregiver provided updates and pics to help assure Paco was okay. I really appreciate the tentative and understanding. I recommend and will use again when in area.”
16. Ariel T.
“Ariel came through in a serious pinch once I found out the Santa Cruz Boardwalk was not dog friendly--the horror! Ariel kept Gnocchi company for many hours into the evening and night while my family and I were able to enjoy some stress free family time. Gnocchi was happy, well-fed and tired when he got home. I would definitely use Ariel again next time I'm in Santa Cruz”
