Dog Boarding Carmel-by-the-Sea

“This was the first time my dog stays in a sitter's home while I went on a 10-day vacation out of the country. I'm very pleased that Jesse and his son Christopher took good care of my dog. We were able to communicate during my trip using the Rover app and also I could see my dog on screen using Skype video call. Thanks to Jesse and his family, now I feel more comfortable leaving my dog behind when I'm out of town.”

“Denise clearly is passionate about caring for dogs! She was easy to communicate with and made sure our pups were well cared for with daily walks, trips to the beach, and plenty of other canine companions! We felt assured that the girls were in good hands for their extended stay.”

Suzanne S.

“Athena was great with my dog, Donner! She was able to watch him with only a few days notice. Took him on walks and updated us with pictures. It was so nice for Donner to get all the attention being the only dog there. I will definitely be booking Donner for another stay in the future. Thank you so much Athena and Will for giving Donner the best care while we were on vacation!”

“Christina made it super easy. Really fast responses. Good clear communication. Most importantly, my dogs had a great time and came back home wagging and smiling. Very highly recommended.”

“Our doggy was very happy after he just spent 2 weeks at Dilan’s. Dilan was very flexible with our schedule that had to be adjusted. We can always depend on Dilan!”

“Our pups loved their visit with Shannon! It was one of their first times being left in a new place and they did great! Shannon sent lots of pictures and videos and was wonderful to work with. Completely trusted our dogs with her. Thank you!”

“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”

“Nina was an excellent and communicative sitter for my dog. She has a great yard and I think my dog already misses it! Nina’s dog Ranie is a great playmate and kindly shared her toys with my dog. I just moved to this area, so I feel really lucky to have found Nina right away!”

Rosie G.

“Donna was absolutely wonderful with Fiona! 🐾 She gave her great care and attention the entire stay, and I could tell Fiona felt right at home. Donna kept communication clear and friendly, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶”

Edith M.

“Fantastic sitter! Citali was attentive, followed all instructions, and truly helped my anxious dog feel at ease. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care, and he seemed happy and comfortable in her home. Highly recommend!”

Grace M.

“Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!”

“I have to give Marion 5 stars, not only did our doggie love hanging out with her Doodles. We were updated in real time with a bunch of photos and videos of his boarding stay. Definitely using her again for out next vacation. 👍”

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.

“Danae was a great sitter! I reached out to her last minute to take care of Wally and she responded quickly and positively. She spoiled Wally for the night she had him and Wally enjoyed his time with her and her dogs. Danae also sent lots of photos which I love. So happy I was able to find her. :)”

“Kelly and her wonderful boys provided a great home away from home for our fur baby! We received many updates and pictures, as Kelly is a great communicator & caretaker! Louie went into her arms upon arrival which was a great sign to me. We would use Kelly again without hesitation. It also warmed my heart that she indicated a willingness to welcome Louie again too!”

About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable.

“Samantha was very active with Zoe and kept me informed throughout her entire stay. Her flexibility made my trip stress free and it was nice knowing Zoe was doing good the whole time. I am so grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future.”

“Robert took great care of our pup while we spent the day at the aquarium with our kids. We will definitely use him again when back in the area!”

Elisa Z.

“Asta was absolutely amazing with our Sadie girl. She kept me posted several times a day on how she was doing and sent many pictures which I appreciated. Asta is wonderful with communication and got back to me right away and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend Asta to watch your fur baby and will use her again for future dog sitting. Thanks Asta for giving our girl so much love!”
