“Denise is the best! I was dreading leaving my dog and Denise reassured me before and during shortie’s stay. She sent me many updates. Shortie had a BLAST!!!!! I feel so much better now knowing that there is someone I can trust leaving shortie with. Thank you so much for taking care of Shortie!!!!!”

“Marion was a 10/10 rover that I would happily board my pup with again when in the area!! She seemed to make sure Bogie was active and stimulated during her stay there and also that she was comfortable and settled in there. She seems to care a lot about the pups she watches and sends great photo updates.”

“Jesse's home was just the right place for my needy little pup. I know Buster got lots of attention and snuggles from Jesse and his family. Will feel comfortable having Buster stay here again. Thanks Jesse and company!”

“Christina was great! Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for for the two weeks we were gone. We got daily updates, where we could see that our dogs were relaxed, and thriving under Christina’s care with daily walks and playtime. We would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter and would use her in the future.”

“Elena was great with my pup and very detail oriented in noting his general needs and routine. Not to mention she was flexible, which I really appreciated! Would definitely recommend to anyone else in need of a pet sitter :)”

Francesca M.

“Very welcoming, safe and playful environment. Melissa and her sweet daughter greeted us right away and eased our nerves about dropping our boy off for his first doggy day care experience. Our mini Aussie had a blast! He spent 9 hours during the day and came home ready to sleep, a day well spent! We highly recommend Melissa and her pack!”

“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”

“Tamara was great! She took good care of my dog, very friendly, careful and sent me pictures of her so I could have piece of mind while was out. Will definitely look to book with her again!”

“My poodle loved staying with Shannon so much she didn’t want to leave. Shannon was quick to respond, stayed in contact and sent pictures. I would highly recommend Shannon.”

Lesley M.

“Tanya was informative and sent me pics of my 5 year old dog throughout her stay. She was comfortable and well cared for. I enjoyed the quick response and sponsor as I had to find a dogsitter quick as my hotel didn’t accept dogs and Tanya was very quick with responding to all of my needs for my pet. I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you!”

Hillary S.

“Thank you Angie and family for watching Mochi and the outstanding care you provided while we were in holiday vacation. Angie is great in sending photos and giving updates while we were gone. It was a comfort knowing Mochi was well cared for. We used a pet sitter for the first time and would highly recommend her services.”

“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.

“I had a great experience with Alex! He watched my dog for 3 days and kept me updated throughout the stay. He even took my pup on a hike, which I really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one since I was six, and that bond taught me how much care and attention our furry friends really need. I also spent four months volunteering at a shelter as part of a school project, where I learned even more about caring for dogs. That experience only deepened my passion for making sure every pup gets the love and walks they deserve. I’m currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Aside from the occasional golf tournament usually twice a month that’s around 6 days total. I’ll be spending most of my time in Monterey. If you’re heading out of town for a few days, I’d love to help take care of your dog. I’m reliable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding, medications, or walking preferences. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and calm to make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure. I always check for anything that could be unsafe, like open gates or small items they could chew on. I treat every pet like they’re my own giving them lots of attention, a safe environment, and a routine they can rely on.

About: I have a deep love and commitment to caring for pets of all ages — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience extends beyond simple companionship I provide the extra level of care that pets need to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Through TrustedHousesitters, I cared for two elderly poodles who needed very attentive, daily support. This included: Administering medication on schedule Changing diapers and ensuring proper hygiene Providing gentle walks and exercise suited to their mobility level Giving them lots of patience, affection, and reassurance More recently, I have been caring for my own 15-year-old dog, who also requires diapers, arthritis-friendly walks, and daily medication. This personal experience has taught me how important it is to notice the small details in a pet’s behavior and to adapt care routines to their changing needs. At the same time, I also love looking after younger, energetic dogs. I enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. With my large yard, they have space to run freely and burn off energy in a safe environment. What Sets Me Apart Specialized Senior Pet Care: Comfortable and experienced with diapers, medications, and gentle senior routines. Love for Energetic Dogs: Young, active pups get the playtime, attention, and exercise they crave. Medication & Hygiene Management: Skilled at handling the practical needs of pets with health concerns. Big Yard for Play: A safe and spacious place for dogs to run, play, and feel at home. Personal Experience: As the owner of a senior dog, I understand the emotional and practical sides of pet care. Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life. I recently took care of my own senior dog, who recently died with 15 years old, which means I’m very used to structured routines such as medication schedules, diaper changes, gentle walks, and lots of affection. This has made me highly organized and attentive to the needs of pets throughout the day. Because I work from home, I’m able to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets I look after. I take time for: Morning walks or playtime to start the day with energy Midday check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or medication Afternoon play or exercise in my large yard for younger dogs who need to run and burn energy Evening care with feeding, medication, short walks, or calm cuddle time — especially for senior pets who need a softer pace On weekends, I usually spend extra time outdoors, and I love to bring pets into this routine — whether that’s gentle strolls for older dogs or active play for younger ones. In short, pet care isn’t something I “fit in” — it’s already part of my daily rhythm. In My Home: Pets staying with me enjoy a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment. My large yard gives dogs plenty of space to run and play freely, while always staying secure by my watch. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re allowed to relax comfortably, have cozy resting spots, and receive lots of attention throughout the day. I keep a close eye on them to make sure they are always safe, whether they are playing outdoors or resting indoors. Senior pets have extra care, with easy access to water, and a calm space to rest without stress.

“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!”

“Celine is excellent! Duke Johnson is a big boy, and some people would be hesitant to take care of him. Not Celine. She was patient with him (Duke can be a little needy). She took him on plenty of walks, getting him the fresh air and exercise he needed. She also sent pictures, communicating enough that I felt updated on how Duke was doing, but not so much that I felt annoyed. Duke was obviously very happy spending time with her, and I would definitely book her again without hesitation. I would absolutely recommend booking Celine if you need someone to look after your pet! 🐾”
