About: *New to Rover…NOT new to pet sitting!* Hi there! My name is Gisella. I live in Big Sur and I absolutely adore dogs (and cats). I’ve owned dogs throughout my whole life…I don’t remember ever not having a dog, actually. All of our dogs have always been rescues/adopted, and with that comes its challenges, especially dealing with different types of personalities in dogs. I’m comfortable with all dogs, big or small, young or old. I worked for Carmel Valley Vet and was team leader at Dawg House Grooming Salon in Carmel Valley Village. I can ensure your pet will be in great care with some of my amazing references. I have years of dog sitting/walking, house sitting experience and I’ll treat your pets as my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m pretty flexible. I can do overnights in your home or in my home (as long as my dog approves), I can do drop in visits, and I can do walks. I can pretty much do anything you need. I have a fully fenced front yard. The property is not accessible to any trails as we live on a cliff side. However, I can drive about five minutes and walk your pup if need be. If I’m staying in your home I will do whatever you usually do for your pet.

I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis! A CPR-certified pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been my happy place, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. I don’t just “watch” pets, I connect with them. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and make sure they receive both physical activity and mental stimulation. Because I focus on personalized, one-on-one care, I only accept a limited number of bookings at a time to ensure every pet receives my full attention and the calm, attentive care they deserve. Pet care is my primary focus, which allows me to offer dependable availability and flexible scheduling. My experience includes volunteering with local shelters and working adoption events, which strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and how to care for pets with many different temperaments and needs. For peace of mind, I am Pet CPR certified and provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated like family, with patience, compassion, and genuine care. Pet care is my primary profession, so caring for animals is built into my daily routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or evening check-ins, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while their family is away. Because this is my full-time work, I’m able to offer dependable availability, attentive care, and flexible scheduling to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any specific care guidelines provided by the owner. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I keep things clean, organized, and communicate regularly with pet parents by sending photo updates and check-ins so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for until their family returns.

Lauren was great with our pup Mango! We needed someone to give Mango exercise and attention while we were out of the house for long hours. Lauren gave her lots of good playtime at the park and sent us sweet updates! Would recommend Lauren and we’d be happy to work with her again. Thank you so much again!

About: Dog sand cat sitting, waste pickup, housekeeping, senior care, potty training, basic command training (sit, e.g.), bathing and brushing, endless cuddles and playtime. These are just the tip of the iceberg! I am committed to making sure your furry family members feel at home, safe, and happy while with me. Pets are part of daily life for all of us and I want to honor that by providing them a routine. Typically I will schedule in walks or outings, playtime, feeding time, grooming time, etc., depending on the animal and their usual routines. I do my best to match what you have created already but may need to adjust here or there for other appointments that pop up for me. I prefer to care for your pets in your home as that is where they will be most comfortable. It’s best to maintain a routine with animals, especially when their family is away. I want to limit any additional stress while still providing plenty of fun time and rest. While in your home, I can also clean or organize. I do not take up space and am happy to be there only as much as is requested by you.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
