Pet Sitting Carmel-by-the-Sea

“Elle was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super communicative and easy to reach, and I felt really comfortable knowing my cat was in great hands. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs and would absolutely book with her again! 🤩”

About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!

“Gabrielle gave us peace of mind Ahsoka was in good hands and well taken care of.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from my teacup Pomeranian to my German Shepherd, as well as caring for puppies, senior pets, and cats. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means playtime and exercise, sticking to a routine, or providing extra patience and comfort. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Im currently working part time remote, so I have time to be with your pup! From spending time at the house, walks, park time and play time. I’m available during the week and weekends I have a box of toys and brain stimulating toys, I take my dogs to the park to keep them moving and social. I have a friendly social dog that you’re baby can be with or I easily crate your If needed.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved them. I'm the one my friends and family always ask to watch their pups, it's something I've always loved doing. My dog Charles has been my shadow for the last 10 years, and although he much prefers the couch life, he still joins me on walks and hikes when he's up for an adventure. I'm new to the Monterey area and currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your dog. I'm available throughout the week and can easily work around what you need. Over the last several months, I've cared for my family's two dogs across several trips while they traveled. Charles gets along great with dogs of any size, he's been living happily alongside both of them and loves playing in the backyard together. I've cared for senior dogs and dogs with extra needs, from managing a specific eye care routine for vision loss to giving medication for anxiety during travel, so I'm comfortable following a detailed routine and staying attentive to how a dog's doing day to day. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My schedule is wide open these days, so I'm flexible for morning walks, midday breaks, or afternoon adventures, whatever fits your pup's routine best. Short notice works too. Safety comes first, whether I'm out on a walk or watching your home. On walks, I always double check your dog's leash, collar, or harness before heading out to make sure everything is secure, and I stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and anything that might spook a nervous pup. For drop-ins and house sitting, I treat your home like it's my own. That means doors and gates stay locked, food and water are kept fresh and where they should be, and I leave everything exactly as I found it, plus regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going :)

About: Your pup's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with a beloved member of your family is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away by providing the same patience, affection, and attentive care they're used to at home. Every dog has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My background in professional caregiving has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive, even in unexpected situations. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, adventures, or simply relaxing nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual personality, routine, and needs. Whenever possible, I love scheduling a meet-and-greet before a booking. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss your dog's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions, while also giving your dog the chance to become comfortable with me before our time together. No one knows your dog better than you do, and I truly value learning from you so I can provide the best care possible. While you're away, you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I believe communication is an important part of exceptional pet care, so I'll send regular updates and photos throughout our time together. My hope is that you can fully enjoy your time away, knowing your dog is happy, loved, and receiving thoughtful, dependable care every step of the way. Currently my schedule is flexible and open. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy taking walks throughout the day to recharge, and find moments of calm and presence for myself. Having a pup or kitty by my side makes those experiences even more meaningful and enjoyable. I’m also naturally a homebody, so providing companionship and being a calm, relaxing presence comes very easily to me. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention. I treat every client's home with the same care and respect as my own, always aiming to leave it as clean—or even better—than I found it. I communicate reliably and always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I have the most experience with various dog breeds young and old. More recently I have grown to also love and care for cats. Most of my full time experience has been with my personal dogs. Zoe, an Australian Shepard, was a shining light in my life for 14 years. Prior to Zoe I had Max, a sweet and gentle Rottweiler I was with for 6 years. For the past 4 years I've been spending a lot of time caring for the beloved pets and homes of my friends and family. I'm a retired teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do some regular volunteer work with cancer patients a few hours each week. I walk or hike daily and a furry companion would be welcome. It's one of the main reasons I signed up for Rover! I am also now on Trusted Housesitters and have experience caring for pets in client's homes. I could have a pet in my home for short visits. I live near a lovely wooded trail that dogs LOVE.

“Elizabeth was fantastic and great with communication! I appreciated her approach to making new clients feel comfortable with her! She did great with my shy cat too! I would recommend her any day :)”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with an Australian Shepard mix, two Dalmatians, and two cats. I understand how mischievous they can be; as well as how amazing and loving they are. I have no issues with younger energetic dogs or slower elderly dogs. I love them all the same. I currently am taking a leave of absence from CSUMB. I have plenty of time to hangout with your dogs! I believe socialization is important for dogs especially, and Im more than glad to be there. I live in an apartment building so having dogs stay over is very difficult. However, my place is safe for dogs and has space for them to be a little goofy. I love dogs and whether it's cuddling up or playing fetch, Im there!

“Natalie is just wonderful. Very responsible and trustworthy. Excellent care of my cats. Recommend very highly to all!! Great communications.”

“Megan was such a good pet sitter. She played with our cat, took great care of the place and sent cute pictures everyday of our cat having fun. Would highly recommend and will book her again!”

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 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 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. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.

“Very nice to meet Athena!”

“Claudia was great with my babies. They took to her instantly! She sent me lots of pictures and videos of everyone getting attention and treats. Let me know when my dog had an accident and thoroughly cleaned up the mess. Exceptional service!!”

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 am very experienced in taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Love teaching dogs new tricks. I have a highly active lifestyle and I will exercise your dog as much or however you want (walk, run, dog park, etc.). I guarantee they will be ready for a nap when you get them back! Your dog is welcome in my home and will be treated like family. They will be given as much attention and care as possible. I will try to accommodate any special needs/requests or schedules, please don’t be shy about asking for anything. Looking forward to caring for your four-legged family member!

“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: 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.

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.
