“We’ve used Spencer and Carolyn 4-5 times to take care of Nani, our black lab/cattle dog mix. This last time, Spencer stayed at our house for three nights. He is always prompt with communication and updates. His cares for Nani as if she was his own, and walks, food, play time, and medications are always taken care of. When we board Nani at their home, we can be totally comfortable that there will be no “events” with other dogs because they only board 1 family’s pets at a time. Excellent 10/10!”
“Olivia provided excellent care for my Siberian Husky at my home during my weekend trip. She was punctual, sent updates with pictures, accommodated a last-minute booking, and was flexible with the schedule. I would confidently recommend her services for dog sitting or walking.”
“Asja was a phenomenal house sitter! I have two large dogs, a typical yellow lab and moody, dramatic Great Dane. Not just anybody can handle the Dane due to his size and cleverness. Asja promptly responded to me from the start, met the boys in advance. She was incredibly friendly and not intimidated by their size. Throughout her house sitting, she was very timely with her visits and sent me fun photos throughout my trip, which I loved seeing. It’s so nice to know they are being well take care of! Thank you, I will book again!”
“Brittany loves dogs! She sent pictures of my big, goofy dogs curled up next to her; very reassuring for me being across the country at the time. She stayed in our home and all went well; I’m lucky to have found her.”

About: “With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other animals, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for all pets. Growing up in a home full of animals taught me not only the practical aspects of pet care but also the importance of patience, empathy, and building trust with every animal friend. My lifelong passion for animals sets me apart, ensuring your pet is cared for with the same attention and affection I’ve given my own. As of right now, I am currently looking for a part-time job while attending Monterey Peninsula College, but as of right now, my schedule is pretty open. “I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. My home is pet-friendly, featuring a secure fence to keep pets safe during outdoor play. I also have a brand-new, unused dog crate available for any pet that feels more comfortable with their own space. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for at all times.
About: Hii, my name is Sherlynn. I’m 25 years old. Born and raised in Salinas, California. I had a pit bull mix for 3 years and had him when he was a puppy to an adult. He was outgoing but calm when he came around people. I have had many pets including dogs, cats, birds and a bunny. I just recently adopted a German Shepherd. I enjoy taking the pets on walks on the beach and parks. I’m able to handle situations that get out of hand the right way. I’m a good candidate to pet sit and walk because i’m experienced and I am open to any type of dog. Lastly, I will make sure the pet is happy, satisfied and safe. Thank you for looking at my description and feel free to ask me questions if needed. I have a fulltime job M-F morning shift. My schedule is pretty flexible. I do babysitting on the side but either than that I am at home. I do live in house that has a fenced yard. I live less than 1 minute away from a dog park which is so convenient. My neighborhood is calm.
“Once again Harrah did a wonderful job. I was given a couple extra vacation days and last minute I asked if Harrah was available. She came to rescue. I really appreciate how she sends photos of the pups having fun and relaxing through the day. Thanks Harrah!”
About: I have a good deal of experience working with dogs that need a more gentle touch. Not all dogs enjoy lots of fuss and activity for many reasons. It’s quite a special thing to earn the trust of timid dogs for whom the world can be a scary place. My empathic nature and experience in energy work help me appreciate the unique needs of each dog I work with. I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, or just “be” as appropriate for the dog's comfort. At home I have handicapped pets of my own, including a paralyzed terrier mix (RIP Rogue) and a tri-pawed chihuahua. My experience with differently abled dogs has taught me that with a bit of adaptation, there is no reason why they can’t lead healthy, happy lives just like any other dog.

About: I love dogs and have taken care of many different breeds for many years. When I'm dog-sitting, I treat them as if they were my own pets. When their "parents" are gone, it's important to make them feel secure. That's why I prefer to dog-sit in the pet's home. Also, I work in the medical field and know when a dog needs to see the vet. I am a semi-retired medical writer/editor and I work from home exclusively. This means that when I'm caring for your pet, I'm home with them every day all day. All I need to do my work is access to wi-fi. Also, I've had birds for more than 40 years, so if you have a bird in addition to your dog, you can trust me with its care. I mentioned earlier that I prefer to care for pets in their own home. It's less disruptive and helps them to feel secure. That's important to me.

Zoe S.

Ashton L.
“Ashton is one of the most reliable and compassionate pet caregivers I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He has a natural way with animals calm, patient, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Whether he’s taking a dog out for a long walk, making sure feeding and medication schedules are followed, or simply spending time giving pets the affection they crave, he always goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. Ashton cared for my pet while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was communicative, organized, and clearly experienced with animals. He took the time to learn about my pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks, and made sure everything was followed exactly. What really impressed me was how attentive and affectionate he was. My pet turtle isn’t always quick to warm up to new people, but he connected with Ashton right away. Ashton made sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Ashton also did so well with my pet ants too and of course Nawi my dog. He treats every pet as his own, and you can tell by how quickly animals come to trust and bond with him. Ashton is also great at keeping pet parents in the loop and reassured while they're away. I would undoubtedly recommend him to any pet parent looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable sitter. Your pets will be lovingly looked after in his care!”

Debbie R.
“Debbie is caring, knowledgeable, and patient. Of course, she cares about the animals, but she also cares about the owners. She demonstrates this in the time given, active listening, and concise explanations. She really knows her stuff! She truly appreciates Western and Eastern medicine, and she totally understands medical and homeopathic terms and procedures. If she doesn't know an answer, she'll research it for you because she's genuinely curious as well. She is a consummate professional, respectful, funny, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!”
