House Sitting Ambler Park

“Alicia was so incredible, my baby loved her almost immediately and she was so thorough during our meet and greet. I can tell she really put her heart and time into my pets. With the consistent updates and pictures there was not a doubt in my mind that my pets were being loved like they were her own.”

“Sophia was absolutely amazing when it came to both house and dog-sitting. She was so attentive to and understanding with our reactive dog Riley and was so great about maintaining Riley’s routine while we were away. She’s incredibly responsive and we loved all the photos she sent us. I cannot think of a better person to care for Riley and no question we’ll be booking with Sophia again when needed! 🥰”

“We came home to well loved pups and a super happy cat! Peyten took exceptional care of our pups who are on different meds and different personalities and a German shepherd who can be an anxious and nervous girl. Our mail was brought in our house looks immaculate. Our girls locked themselves in one of our rooms and she went above and beyond getting a door key and letting us know and keeping us in the loop. That door is truly a pain so I appreciated I had ease of mind it was all worked out. Our cats space was well taken care of including the litter box. We can’t thank you enough Peyten!”

“Very communicative! She provided lots of pictures and videos, and made sure to keep my dog on his regular schedule. She was also very nice, even when my dog was not!”

About: I bring more than 31 years of hands-on experience caring for, rehabilitating, and living with dogs, including rescues with trauma, anxiety, digestive issues, behavioral challenges, and special needs. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science and have training in dog-assisted therapy, providing a deep understanding of both human and canine behavior, communication, trust-building, and emotional well-being. Every dog receives individualized attention tailored to their personality, routine, and unique needs. Through positive reinforcement, consistency, and thoughtful observation, I help dogs feel secure, relaxed, and supported. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, shy, highly social, recovering from a difficult past, or simply accustomed to a specific routine, I adapt my approach to ensure they remain comfortable and confident. I also have experience with high-energy breeds, blind dogs and dogs requiring specialized diets or care plans. As a 5-mile daily hiker, I can provide long walks, multiple daily outings, and hikes of up to two hours. Clear communication is a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving exceptional attention. I can also coordinate with veterinarians, groomers, and household service providers when needed, helping ensure continuity of care and smooth household operations. I bring 34 years of homeownership experience and eight years of remodeling experience, including the complete renovation of my lake house. This background has developed a strong awareness of home maintenance, safety, proactive problem-solving, and responsible property stewardship. As a volunteer member of a Fire Department Critical Response Team and Workforce Team, I am trained to recognize potential concerns early and respond appropriately. My attention to detail, reliability, and preventative mindset help safeguard your pets and property. I lead a quiet, responsible lifestyle and spend much of my time at home, allowing me to provide a consistent presence, attentive pet care, and regular property monitoring. Services Include: • Daily and overnight presence • Security and property checks • Mail and package collection • Plant care • Garbage and recycling management • Oversight and coordination of household and pet-care needs • Communication and coordination with service providers when needed • Monitoring of home systems and potential maintenance concerns • Careful stewardship of your home I specialize in extended house-sitting and pet-care assignments, accepting bookings of 30 to 130 days during the winter season. Clients choose me for my advanced behavioral expertise, decades of rescue and rehabilitation experience, exceptional communication, attentive home stewardship, and concierge-level service. Whether caring for a cherished companion, coordinating household needs, or maintaining a watchful presence over your property, my goal is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, caring hands. My day begins with a loving good-morning rub followed by a potty break, feeding, and exercise. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, play, enrichment activities, affection, and regular outdoor breaks while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I enjoy ending each day with the attention most dogs love, whether that's a belly rub, cuddle time, or simply quiet companionship. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, mobility, and daily habits so I can quickly recognize changes and respond appropriately. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of your pet while maintaining a dependable, consistent presence. On a daily basis I maintain the cleanliness of pet-related areas, including food and water stations, entryways, and frequently used spaces. When a home has a pet door, I ensure the yard remains clean through daily waste removal. My goal is to provide an enriching environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved throughout your stay away from home. I provide a reliable daily and overnight presence, along with regular property walk-throughs. During severe weather, I perform additional inspections to identify potential concerns early and take appropriate preventative measures when possible. I maintain a calm, quiet environment that allows me to remain highly attuned to both your pet's well-being and any household conditions that may require attention. I am equally attentive to conditions on and around the property that could affect your home's safety and security. For example, during a recent house sit, I proactively cleared leaves and debris from nearby storm drains before heavy rain to help reduce the risk of localized flooding. Years of property stewardship have strengthened my ability to recognize developing issues and address them before they become larger concerns. Clients frequently share that they experience a genuine sense of peace and ease while away, knowing their pets and home are being cared for with exceptional attention, responsibility, and respect. They appreciate the strong bonds I develop with their pets and the clean, thoughtfully cared for home they come back to. Upon request, I can stock a reasonable number of essential grocery items prior to your return, helping ensure a comfortable and seamless homecoming.

“Jeanette was fantastic! She made the whole thing easy and I know both pups appreciated that as much as I did. Lots of update photos and reassuring messages so that I could enjoy myself without worrying. There were 2 very calm and relaxed dogs waiting for me when I got home. We will definitely rebook with Jeanette next time we are in Monterey.”

“Jaharrah was great!! She was very attentive to my cat and was great at communicating with texts and photos. She also left the house clean and in great shape.”

Maren M.

“Natasha was great with our picky pup! This was our first time going away since we got Kerbie and as a Rover sitter myself, I am picky with who I choose to care for her. Natasha was very attentive to the care instructions, respectful of our house, and made sure our nervous dog was comfortable and had fun while we were away. She even took care of our goldfish. 10/10 would trust her to care for our pets again.”

Molly T.

“Second time having Mari watch our dog and she was just as amazing as before! If you’re looking for someone who you can trust while you’re away from home, I highly recommend Mari!”

About: I have always dog sat and pet watched because I have always had a love for dogs especially since I was never able to grow up with one myself. My availability is pretty open and flexible. I am a newly retired collegiate athlete so I have a lot of time on my hands now. I treat all the animals I have cared for with love and nurture and am always careful to observe what it seems they need or want.

About: I grew up with animals and have always loved having them around. My family rescued two dogs and two cats when I was little, and I started dog and cat sitting for other families when I was around 12. I’ve continued pet sitting ever since and have also rescued two hamsters of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I always try to give pets more than just the basic care they need. Whether I’m doing a drop-in, going for a walk, or having a pet stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and company. I know it can be stressful for pets when their people are away, so I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. I recently moved to Carmel and would love to connect with local pet owners and have some animals in my life again. I currently work part time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and boarding. I work part time in Carmel and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time throughout the week to spend caring for your pets! I treat every animal like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I’m very communicative and will send plenty of pictures and updates. If I ever have a question or concern, I’ll always reach out!

“Kostyantyn did a great job with our 1 year old boxer Caesar. They got along very well, and he was able keep Caesar busy with walks and play and eventually he took afternoon nap. We were kept updated with pics throughout day. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a special love for animals! I’ve had my own dog since I was a kid, so I’ve experienced caring for him through every stage of his life, from being an energetic puppy to becoming a sweet senior dog. I’m familiar with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. Having cared for my own dog for so many years has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual needs. I know pets are part of the family, and I would treat yours with the same love, care, and attention I give my own! I’m currently a college student pursuing nursing while also working part-time as a CNA. Even with my school and work schedule, I always make time to care for animals because it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m flexible with my availability and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works for both of us. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As a CNA and someone who is CPR certified, I understand the importance of being responsible, patient, and attentive when caring for others. I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with their different personalities and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll make sure to follow their usual routines, keep their environment clean and safe, and provide plenty of love and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I’ll gladly send pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own family!

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

“Melissa is definitely 5 star! Excellent care of my kitten and my home, including sending me updates and photos while I was away. This is my second time with Melissa, and I will definitely be requesting her in the future for her pleasant, dependable, and very helpful manner.”
