First time having Denise watch after my kitty who hadn't spent a night apart from me in 2 years, so I was concerned how it would go. But it seems Denise bonded quickly with my kitty and sent me photos during every visit which was much appreciated.

About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel. I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals I have and host. During the week, I work part-time from home, and I am active throughout the day. I typically take morning, midday, and evening walks with my dog(s) and allow them to have free roam in the house and yard. I can offer flexibility to meet your pet's needs at my home or in yours. My home is pet-friendly, accommodating, and safe. I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas, and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.

I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will diligently follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and do my best to help them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Longtime, trusted petsitter for neighbors and friends, with extensive volunteer experience including lead dog walker at a local shelter and rescue transporter. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and genuinely love building connections with each pet. Available for walks, overnight care, and drop-ins. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work full-time during the week but have evening availability on Thursdays and Fridays, with open availability on weekends. I can accommodate drop-in visits during weekday lunch hours in the Oldtown/Downtown Monterey area. Please message me with any questions about availability or scheduling. I love taking dogs for neighborhood walks with plenty of time for sniffing, playing with their favorite toys, giving lots of affection and belly rubs, and simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, routines, or care requirements.

About: I grew up with family dogs and took on the responsibility of helping train our puppies from a young age. My experience grew as I took on part time sitting jobs for friends and family and have loved getting to spend time with all of the animals under my watch. If you have a high energy dog in need of walks or runs, I'm more than happy to provide that sort of energy! I have a very flexible schedule that can allow me to watch, feed, and keep your pet company throughout the week days and most weekends. I will be able to come and watch your pet in the comfort of their own home and take them out to play and for walks if requested!

About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I understand cat behaviors and have experience taking care of cats ranging from any age between three months old to 16 years old. As for dogs, I have experience caring for any small to medium-size dog, such as taking them on walks, playing with them, and preparing any meals for them. I am available Monday through Thursday from 6am to 1pm. For Friday through Sunday I am available all day. I am flexible and can accommodate if needed. I have two indoor female tabby cats. Their ages are 2 and 3. Their names are Felony and Menace. I have them strictly on a wet food diet however Menace has digestive issues so I add a small amount of pumpkin to both their wet food along with extra water. I try to get as much water into their diet as possible.

About: Dogs are truly a humans best friend.🥰We enjoy taking them for walks, (helps keep us in shape😁) playtime and just bonding with them. When we needed sitters for our pup years ago, we appreciated our sitter checking in with us. We feel communicating with our neighbors, gives us all peace of mind. So if it’s ok with you, we will send a picture, or video to assure you that your pup is safe and sound. We have more time now, to enjoy God’s creation and do things that bring us real joy. We absolutely love and appreciate the gift of life and enjoy caring for and bonding with all types of animals. Whether at the park, or at the beach, dogs tend to gravitate towards my husband and I. (They obviously feel our ‘love for dogs’ vibe.🥰) We have 4 grand pets we love dearly and look forward to their visits, but when they go home, we love on everyone else’s pets, lol. We decided to start pet sitting again part time, to help fill that void.🫠 We prefer sitting at your home, so your pet feels comfortable and less stressed while you’re away, but we also don’t mind entertaining them at our home for the day. If so, it would be helpful if they’re crate-trained, in case we have to step away for a little while. It is of upmost importance to us, to see that your pet is safe and happy under our care. We love to spoil and treat them as if they were our own, so beware, they tend to not want us to leave.🥰

About: I’ve cared for friends and neighbors’ pets throughout the years. I also have experience working with the SPCA as a volunteer. I am a responsible sitter who can walk, bathe, feed, play with, and tend to your pet! *the one thing I can not do is administer medication via injection!* Please reach out to me and we can find a schedule that works! Please refer to my posting for a general idea- walks and drop in visits are best for me because I am a college student :)) I am respectful of your space and attentive to your pets’ needs. Depending on your pet’s personality, I can adapt to their behavior and needs to give them the best experience possible!

Andrea was amazing to work with as always! And it is clear that our cats love her too! She is incredibly responsive and follows (even my most ridiculous) directions to a tee! As someone who is very anxious to leave my cats, I always feel like they are in great hands with her and I wasn’t worried at all on my trip.
