Dog Boarding in Santa Cruz

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!

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!

Fantastic! Yajaira was able to board my dog pretty last minute and though my dog tends to be nervous at first, he warmed up to her in a day or two and seemed to have a great time. Thank you for giving such great care to Benny!

Kimberly was really great with Chibby. I needed a sitter at the last minute and am so glad I was able to find Kimberly. Chibby has never been watched by anyone outside of my immediate family so was really worried how she would react. We met with Kimberly beforehand to see how she would react and to my surprise she felt comfortable. Kimberly sent me pictures and kept me updated during the whole stay. She really took my anxiety away knowing Chibby was well taken care of. I would definitely use Kimberly again.

Susie is the best! I could tell she really cared for my dog and made sure she was comfortable and entertained every day that I was gone. She sent daily recaps of the day along with a picture of what they did. Susie goes above and beyond the expectations I had. She didn’t just watch my dog while I was gone, she loved my dog like it was hers. I will 100% be going to Susie any time I need to board my dog again.

Shannon and her family are so wonderful with my dog and have been flexible with drop off and pick up and are compassionate humans. I highly recommend Shannon as a dog sitter. I feel such relief knowing my dog is happy and well cared for.

Thank you Todd for doing such a great job on taking care of Dakota! Todd was in constant communication - texts and sending pictures! He is great with her. Highly recommend Todd! Thank you!!

Hannah is confident and trustworthy with animals. She took care of our large mastiff who is about 1.5 years old so still has some puppy behaviors. She reached out to talk in advance of our weekend away and made herself available for a meet/greet. She made me feel very comfort leaving him. She sent updates and pictures through the weekend to keep us updated. When we returned he was well cared for and happy! We will definitely use Hannah’s services again!

Elizabeth was wonderful. She had our shorky for 3 weeks. She sent photos and updates on a regular basis. Our little fella came home happy. We would definitely leave him with her again. Thank you Elizabeth!!

Sultan had a fun time with Natasha and other dogs. Natasha’s a wonderful dog-sitter. She kept me up to date on his activity and how he was doing. Sultan would definitely be coming back again soon!

Wonderful family that took great care of my dog Toffee. They provided updates and photos.

Our dog was boarded with Anusha for a week vacation and honestly, I don’t know if me or my dog had the better vacation! :) Anusha provided daily picture and video updates and treated our dog like the princess she thinks she is! I highly recommend Anusha’s services and will definitely be using her again for all our boarding needs! Never looking back to boarding facilities. Anusha also prepared boiled chicken treats for our dog and always asked permission before feeding her anything not provided by us! The best!

Citlali was very responsive, flexible, and just great! My dog is usually very hesitant to go with new people and places but she was very happy with Citlali!

Sabrina is a very good sitter! Jojo has a happy and healthy stay at her home. She follows Jojo normal daily schedule and takes good care of Jojo. Will come to her next time.

Bill and his wife take such good care of Reya! We are so thankful we found them on here. Reya is an older lady who requires quite a bit of extra care and she always comes back to us happy and healthy! We are very appreciative. Thank you!

Meghan was a great weekend sitter!! She is quick to communicate, send photos and ensure our dog was well cared for while we were away!

Juliana was an absolute gem for our first puppy adventure! We’re first-time dog owners with Chandler, our sweet English Lab puppy, and we were a bit nervous booking last-minute care. Juliana made it so easy—she happily accepted him with zero hesitation, even on short notice. From day one, she put us completely at ease. She sent tons of adorable pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us as anxious new parents. She went above and beyond by helping socialize Chandler (super important for our outgoing but still-learning pup), and she even worked on some basic training with him. Her own dogs were incredibly gentle and welcoming—Chandler especially adored Cannoli, and it was clear they all had a great time playing together. Seeing how happy and confident she came home made us so grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Juliana again (and we already plan to!). If you’re looking for someone patient, communicative, and genuinely great with dogs—especially puppies—she’s the one. Thank you, Juliana!

We have been booking with Pissamas for a while now and always feel comfortable boarding our two small dogs! We can tell our dogs are happy to come and stay when we pull up to her house.

Our little Coco had a great time staying with Kai while we were out of town. She seemed very happy and safe during her stay with Kai. Would highly recommend and will continue to book again :)
