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.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 17. Family and friends have trusted me on walking and feeding their pets when they have vacations or are simply just busy:) I’m available all weekends and weekdays to play, feed, bathe, walk, give attention, and babysit if you have any upcoming vacations or urgent emergencies you may have! While you're out of town, I'll make sure your dog feels right at home! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love will keep them happy and well-cared for. 🐾🏠💕

About: "Think of me as the fun uncle who also happens to be a stickler for safety. My two dogs and I are ready to welcome your pup into our pack for playdates, long naps, and all the fetch they can handle!" Being my own boss means I can pause for a game of fetch or a quick snuggle whenever your dog gives me "the look." My schedule revolves around their tail wags. My home includes five acres to go for a quick walk or play endless dog games, yet I love to take dogs to the beach, or on hikes around the area.

About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. 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.

Nicole checked in on my three elderly dogs. She took great care of them while I was out and made sure Tally got her afternoon medication. During the visit she sent updates and photos, and asked clarifying questions since this was the first visit. Nicole also left the house in perfect condition and made sure the house was locked up when she left. I look forward to having her take care of my dogs again.

Alexis is wonderful. She provided excellent communication throughout the booking and scheduling process. She made sure to ask about any specific routines/meds/ etc Primrose might have & showed a genuine care in my pup. She provided so many sweet photo and video updates, and made me feel very assured that my dog was in good hands. I 100% recommend booking with Alexis for your furry friend needs!

Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.

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.
