13. Kelly X.
About: Hello my name is Kelly! I have an older sister and one of my younger siblings duty is taking care of her beloved corgi. Of course I have no issues with that because I love dogs. I also have experience with dog sitting a puppy chow chow through adult hood when family is away. I recently took care of a friends miniature golden doodle for multiple days overnight. My specific experience is walking them, taking bathes, feeding, and playing. I would also take on house sitting for friends that do end up going on vacation. I’m currently a college student so I have classes to consider but also I get to pick my schedule so it’s pretty flexible I’m also unemployed as well. I mainly would follow the fur baby’s parents and stick to their schedule or whatever they need me to do. I understand it’s their baby, because mine is, so just mainly following whatever their needs are
14. Natalie R.
“I highly recommend Natalie! Our dog is very anxious and needs a lot of gentle care and attention, especially on walks out side of our home. Natalie is so sweet and gentle with him- he loves her and is so excited when he gets to spend time with her. She is experienced and is able to handle all our dog's special needs and dietary requirements perfectly. She's a pleasure to talk to and very responsible. She's the best!”
15. 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.

18. 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”
