Spoil ‘em Rotten Dog Walker & Critter Sitter

I’m visiting the area and needed a last minute, same day sitter for my dog while I attend a lecture in Santa Cruz. I called several places and Whitney called me back within a few minutes. We discussed what I needed for my dog who yowls when I’m gone. After spending a lot of quality time with me on the phone Whtney gave me several options for handling the situation. Ultimately, I didn’t use her service — this time (last minute pet sitting is very difficult to arrange and a bit nerve wracking when you don’t know the sitter) — but I felt confident I’ll bring my business to her in the future. No other pet sitter returned my call. I even called the local vet who also boards — and while I did get a call back — they declined to board my dog over night since he yowls when left alone. Anyway, Whitney is VERY knowledgable, helpful and seems as practical and compassionate about dogs as I am. She also gave me a few training tips! I have no doubt she’s the best at what she does. Next time, Whitney!
