Happy Pets
Based in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Paws 'N Purrs Pets proudly serves Boulder Creek, Brookdale, Ben Lomond, Felton, and Scotts Valley areas. From long days at work to long vacations away, you can count on us to care for and treat every pet we meet like one of our own.
Whether it's a quick play date visit, dog walk, full-blown house siting vacation coverage, or a luxury home boarding experience, we've got a service to fit your needs. Special needs? No problem! Picky eaters? We speak their language. And because we know how tough it is to leave your little darlings, we'll happily send you daily “kitpics” or "pupdates" with photos, so you can see all the fun they're having.
We celebrate our pets and how they make our lives better, every day.

Meet Saira
Hi! I'm Saira and I have spent my entire life loving pets and animals of all kinds, from cats & dogs to dwarf hamsters, mice, birds, lizards, frogs, fish, turtles, and snakes (never had a tarantula though?).
After the loss of a most special soul cat to FIP in 2008, I began volunteering, photographing, and fostering with various SPCA's and local animal rescue organizations, specializing in pre-weaned kittens. In 2014, Paws & Purrs was officially born, offering local pet care and professional photography services. Soon after, the golden handcuffs of corporate life took hold and Paws & Purrs took the backseat. But in December 2024, sweet freedom arrived and gave me the chance to return to my passion, so Paws 'N Purrs Pets was gloriously reborn as you see it today.
Through the years and struggles, my pets have been a constant source of inspiration, love, and amusement. They serve as my furry therapists, being equal parts zen masters and agents of pure chaos, and I learn from them daily. I love trying to capture their quirky wisdom and ridiculous antics combined with my art. As an artist, I started with photography and drawing, and now I enjoy mixing mediums and experimenting with new things. I mostly draw with good ol' pencil and paper (sometimes fine-tip pens, if I'm feeling fancy) before incorporating them with my photography and/or giving them a digital makeover.
A resident of Boulder Creek for 15+ years, I currently serve two furry overlords, Princess Eva and Master Casanova, who bring endless joy and teach valuable life lessons daily. To help pay their ridiculously expensive treats, I've forced them into office management. Let's be real, they're the real bosses, so if you get one of our newsletters, you know who to thank (or blame!). For more on that, see below.
Meet the Feline
Office Management Team
Princess Eva is a high-maintenance diva with impeccable hygiene standards and a deep distrust of the outdoors (because, ew - nature). Its not entirely her fault, as she appears to be allergic to air (cedar, oak, redwood, grasses, weeds, maybe just a breeze), so if it isn't fully sanitized and pollen-free, she wants nothing to do with it.
As a self-appointed dental hygienist, she insists upon nightly teeth brushings to keep her fangs glistening white and her prominent overbite, adorable. Her water? Must be triple-filtered, room temperature, and delicately garnished with the finest catmint (because hydration should be an experience). Cross her, and she'll unleash a perfectly timed side-eye so devastating, you'll question your entire existence.
Office Manager: Eva
(aka Evil Eva, Princess Pretty Girl)
Experience: 3 years old
Eva is our Office Manager, head of HR, and responsible for ordering office supplies and coordinating the newsletter.
Administrator II: Casanova
(aka Ultimate Lover Boy & Goth Taco)
Experience: 2 years old
Casi, is our Office Administrator, level II, responsible for intern on-boarding, website maintenance, and newsletter content.
Master Casanova is equal parts smooth operator and chaos agent. By day, he's a rampaging marathoner and string hunter, until his legs give out and he becomes a squishy cuddler and 'let me be on your face' napper. But by night? He transforms into a butt-wiggling, midnight-trilling chaos machine, performing dramatic arias at 2am for no audience but the void.
His talents include stealthily chewing only the most expensive cables, shameless food thievery, and talking a big game - until bravery is actually required. One loud noise (seriously blenders and ice machines should be outlawed) and suddenly, he's a legendary disappearing act. But don't be fooled - he'll be back, headbutting for affection like the lovable little rogue he is.
Forced to help pay for their ridiculously expensive treats (and Eva's many dental toothbrushes), these two are responsible for office management, ordering supplies, composing all newsletters, and maybe some even social posts and announcements.
