Pet Sitting Big Sur

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.

“Stephanie thank you so much for coming over while we were away. Xochi and Xulah appreciate everything you did for them. I definitely would recommend your services to anyone.”

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: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets, special-needs animals, and medically complex pets. Most recently, I worked at a no-kill animal shelter in Southern California, where I worked with animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I gained experience with recently surrendered pets, shy animals, senior pets, and animals adjusting to new environments. I also cared for my own diabetic dog, Tater, for three years, including twice-daily insulin injections and careful monitoring of his health and routine. That experience taught me how important consistency, observation, and patience are when caring for animals. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining established routines. I work especially well with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets that need a calm, patient approach. As both a longtime pet owner and homeowner, I understand the trust people place in someone caring for their animals and home. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I work remotely as a technical writer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend significant time at home with the pets in my care. This flexibility makes it easy for me to maintain feeding schedules, provide walks, administer medications if needed, and give pets the companionship and attention they are accustomed to receiving. I enjoy having animals around while I work and appreciate the comfort that a consistent, calm routine provides for them. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible because familiar surroundings, routines, and schedules help reduce stress while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet's normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I follow care instructions carefully and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or overall well-being and will communicate any concerns promptly. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible while providing a calm, safe, and dependable presence in your home.

About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!

“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!”

About: As a specialized pet care provider, I offer patient, fear-free sitting designed specifically for rescue animals, seniors, and pets with behavioral or physical disabilities. I focus on maintaining strict medical routines and building trust at your animal's individual pace, giving you total peace of mind that your high-needs companion is safe and understood. Because I balance pet care with my weekday studies and commitments, my schedule is perfectly tailored for dedicated evening check ins, weekend care, and overnight housesitting. While you are away for the weekend or out for the evening, your cat will have my full, undivided attention right when they need it most like dinner time, evening play, and nighttime cuddles For pets with rescue backgrounds, trauma histories, physical disabilities, or behavioral quirks, their home is their sanctuary. Change can be overwhelming, which is why I specialize in providing dedicated, in-home care designed to preserve your pet’s sense of safety, routine, and comfort while you are away. Rather than forcing a connection, I practice a patient, trust-first approach. I meet your animal exactly where they are whether that means sitting quietly across the room to let a shy rescue set the pace, or meticulously maintaining a senior pet's environmental and medical routine. I am deeply attuned to animal body language and decompression timelines, ensuring your pet's boundaries are always respected and their stress levels remain low.

About: I have experienced with hands on care for dogs and cats of all age, proving daily walks, administering basic medications, and proving lots of love. Making sure the pets feel comfortable and safe is always a top priority. I’m a current full time students, so I have availability throughout the week for drop ins in the morning or evening. I am available all week for pet sitting. I can provided safety, trust and security in the environment by attending introduction meetings with pet parents either in person or virtually to establish needs of pet care. During stay, I will send update pictures and text.

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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and animals of all shapes and sizes. Caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have two cats of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets.

Outside of that, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and other pet care needs. I am fully available Friday through Sunday, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, extended care, and overnight services when needed. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my daily routine. In your home, I work to keep things as familiar as possible. I follow your pet’s regular schedule—feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications—so they feel secure while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean, and always leave everything just as I found it (or better!). Your pet gets my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

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.

“Oscar was very attentive towards my pets during the drop in visits. He fed my two dogs, provided water, and played frisbee with them. Highly recommended.”

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.
