Dog Boarding in Santa Cruz

Yajaira was great. My pup Lily returned health and happy. She sent pictures and updates and asked for clarification on care when needed. Will definitely be using Yajaira again!

My dog Zoe had a wonderful time with Nancy, her husband and her dog Phoebe! They treated Zoe like family. I received several text messages and pictures so I knew Zoe was doing fine and eating, etc. I will definitely want to use Nancy to board Zoe again in the future!

We left our 9 month old Great Dane (125 lbs), Beau, with Jenna and her family for a week! We were desperate to find someone since our previously set up dog sitter cancelled on us last minute. We had never used Rover before and had only left Beau for 4 days previously with his dog trainer. Jenna was very quick to respond to my initial questions. She lives almost an hour away from our house, but again we were desperate since we needed care for our big puppy! She made me feel at ease so we booked her. My husband was the one who did drop off and pick up but I was the one in constant communication with Jenna throughout the week. Jenna would send updates and pictures daily. We could clearly see that Beau was loved on by her 4 kids with the pictures they sent! He looked like he was at home on their couches and beds! He was very spoiled there! (I am okay with that for pet sitters!) I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about Beau. We will be having Jenna and her family watch Beau again in the next few weeks, the drive is worth it to us since he was so well taken care of ! My husband said Jenna and her husband were very kind. Jenna even made us a collage of pictures of his time with them! Our first experience with Rover was a great one, thanks to Jenna and her Family! Jenna- Get ready to see Beau in 3 weeks! I am sure he will be so excited to see you guys again!

Blue had an amazing time with Marina and her kitties! Marina sent lots of updates and pictures, so I knew Blue was having a good time. She came home happy and tired, always a winning combination.

Robin was great with Ginger! Her dog was really sweet, and I'm sure my dog enjoyed the company. I appreciated getting the updates on how the stay was going.

My Abby had a fantastic time at Lucia's house, became besties with her sweet pup, and even took a nap in Lucia's lap. A great experience and we'll definitely be back for more visits :)

Shannon, Chris and family were wonderful for our dog. Prior to his almost three week stay, he had only been away from home for one night! He was very comfortable and made himself right at home. Shannon made sure we received daily updates and photos. We are very comfortable leaving our dog with Shannon and her family and will definitely reach out again. Thanks again for taking such good care of our little guy!

Linda was absolutely amazing! I reached out to her last minute, and she still managed to squeeze me in without hesitation. I was so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. From the very beginning, she was so kind and attentive and not just with me, but especially with my dog, Dante. She went above and beyond in caring for him, taking him on multiple walks throughout the day and keeping him active and happy. What really stood out to me was how she took him to the duck park, the beach, and the local farmers market! I could tell Dante was having such a great time, and I truly appreciated the updates and photos she sent. Overall, Linda did an incredible job. She treated Dante like her own and made sure he was well taken care of every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

So easy, and wonderful visit for Carson. Thank you so much!

Britt is a dog-sitter’s dog-sitter. Kind and knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs, patient, good with redirection and reinforcement of behaviors. Thank you, Britt! I see Fin loved his time with you and Arlo!

Lauren was great! My dog was comfy with her and she was able to navigate some of my dog's more difficult behaviors.

Michael and Patti were wonderful with my dog. They checked in with me and sent pictures (very important!). My dog looked very content and relaxed while in their home. I will definitely use them again!

Faith was amazing--she was so accommodating and Rio had the best time. Really appreciative of her care.

Jolene as great! Wonderful communication and I can tell Zelda felt right at home.
