Sept 20 -Oct 7
Looking for someone(s) to watch our pets and take care of our house while we travel. We have a 9yr old dog and 14 year old cat. The dog will need to be walked once day, and the car comes and goes through the dog door.
Other than these small time commitments, you will be free to explore all the beauty and culture that Santa Cruz has to offer. Beaches, redwoods, and gorgeous scenery abound. The only thing that will be missing from this experience is the cultural exchange that we normally have with our Workaway guests, since we will not be here. But if you're up for a relaxing stay in a fabulous location, this is the Workaway for you!

We are so glad that a heat wave caused Borja to delay his plans for hiking in Yosemite and contact us about coming to stay. He was a fantastic addition to our summer Workaway contingent! During his stay, Borja helped design a screen for our outdoor shower, did a very professional job repairing a broken section of wall, dismantled our old bathroom… read more

Living with Kishka and Julia for three weeks as a volunteer was an incredible experience. It marked my first Workaway adventure, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Throughout my stay, I felt not only safe but truly embraced as part of their family. They involved me in typical American and family activities, making it a beautiful… read more

Sabina stayed with us for 3 weeks in the fall of 2023, and she was an absolute joy to have around. From the moment she arrived, we could feel her warmth and joyous spirit, which she brought to everything she did. During her stay, she organized two very messy closets, cleaned and decluttered our living room and outdoor areas, weeded and tidied our… read more

Kischka and Julie were our first experience with Workaway and we couldn't have asked for anything better than them!! We stayed 8 days, taking care of the house while they were out and pet sitting their wonderful dog Inky and the sweet shy cat Mika.

They first stayed in our home for a few days while we were travelling, taking excellent care of our home and pets, and remaining in close communication so we could feel at ease while we were away. They even… read more

We could not have been luckier. They welcomed us warmly, invited us to spend time with them and their friends. We exchanged recipes and meals, croissants, magrets de canard, ribs, crêpes, cinamon rolls, and so on...

Wow! I can hardly find the words to express how lucky we were to have hosted Élodie and Nathan for their first Workaway experience. We needed help demolishing a kitchen and assembling the new cabinets, and Nat and Élo told us that they’d had experience remodeling their own homes. But what also caught my eye is that they both play instruments and… read more

We are so happy that we were able to host Nicholas this past summer. He originally came to stay just for a few days, but ending up being here for a month, and what a great month it was!

I feel the frase, "Describe your experience" is so difficult to express and so small to describe in a hand ful of words. Julie and Kischka host me for a full month in Santa Cruz, I came due to other workaway that got cancelled because of wild fires, which in a way I kind of give thanks to Life for guiding me to this family. We did countless… read more

Oli and his partner Laila visited us in summer of 2022, with the prospect of redoing a brick path and patio that had sunk into the dirt. We are so pleased with the hard work they did over the course of their stay, clearing out the area, pulling up the bricks, and relaying the entire path and patio with mortar so we won't have the same problem… read more

Flor was a kind, enthusiastic, and fun housesitter. Our dog, Inky, got more walks with Flor while we were away than she ever does with us, and Flor sent us pictures of the two of them having fun together. Flor arrived a day before our trip so that we could show her everything that was needed and jumped right in to help us with preparations,… read more

I had an unforgettable experience in Santa Cruz and enjoyed every minute of it as I was housesitting for Julie, Kischka and the kids. I stayed at their home for a week and took care of their pets, while doing some house chores.
They made me feel very welcome. I would definitely go back.

We got along so well that I stayed even… read more

Megan was the first Workawayer to stay with my elderly mother, and it worked out far better than I could have imagined, mostly due to Megan's kind, patient, and easygoing manner. At the end of her two-week stay, my mom was in love with Megan and would have loved for her to stay on. Megan's experience with elderly people from a previous job was a… read more

Kischka, Julie, and their two boys made me feel incredibly welcome and at home. They helped me get around the town, let me borrow a bike, and were there whenever I had any questions.

We spent two weeks in beautiful Santa Cruz helping out Kischka and Julie with their project and we loved it. We felt like visiting old friends, they made us feel at home. The work they request us to do was easy to accomplish and we could do it on our own schedule (like working a full day and then having a day off to explore the region). Dinners… read more

We now have a new fence and gate, a pergola on our deck, new vents for our crawl space, a working outdoor tub, and much more, all… read more
