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.

Julia was so accommodating for our last minute requests and she took our puppy for a great day out on the town. She treated him as her own and helped us with socializing him. We will definitely be using her the next time we come back into town.

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! 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: "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 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.🥰

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.

Bria was absolutely wonderful with our senior Yorkshire Terrier and provided exceptional care while we were away. She was incredibly accommodating, even administering eye drops on short notice. Bria’s thoughtful updates and sweet photos gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our little girl was in loving, capable hands — we couldn’t have asked for better care!

Andrew is a true gem! He’s smart, ambitious, and kind. Most of all, he was great with our two small dogs who needed some attention and a walk while we were away for most of the day for two days in a row. I trusted him to come in to our home and attend to our dogs’ needs. Andrew sent text messages when he arrived, and when he left and sent photos. I recommend him highly.
