House Sitting in Carmel Highlands

“Abby saved Arty’s life while she was sitting. He became very seriously ill the second day I was gone. I was on a boat in glacier bay Alaska and could not be reached for 2 days. I had not left a letter authorizing payment to his vets (my bad) and when she called, they refused. So she had the good sense to show up at their door with him in their arms after calling everyone who I listed as support and trying on her own to revive him. (He is diabetic). He had been in ICU for 2 days by the time I got all her messages. The waters parted and I was able to get home the same day. In the meantime, she visited him in ICU and gave him love and encouragement. It turned out that he had a ruptured gall bladder and they removed it along with cleaning out all the granular black debris from his abdominal cavity. He has almost recovered completely now, only one week later. I know he would not be alive if it wasn’t for Abby. Grateful is an understatement! Abby is all that a pet owner could want to look after their beloved fur baby.”

“Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.”

“Natalie watched our Portuguese Water Dog overnight while we went to visit friends for an overnight in Napa. She did an absolutely amazing job and Arthur loved her. She was super communicative and gave us great peace of mind.”

“Mallory was a wonderful pet sitter for our Boston Terrier, Lola. During the walk-through, she was thorough and asked lots of questions, making sure everything was written down to get it just right. She stayed in our home, kept everything spotless, and was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. Lola had a great time and clearly felt comfortable with her. We’d absolutely have Mallory watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”

“Christine did a great job managing our two high-anxiety Vizslas. She house sat with them for us while we were going to lunch and a jazz show, and treated them with mucho love and playtime. She sent us photos and videos, took them for a couple of walks, and we could tell she really enjoys her time with pets. We will definitely hire Christine again next time we are in Carmel and recommend her if you want a well-trained and loving sitter!”

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: 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 worked with animals almost my entire life from dogs and cats to horses, goats, and chickens. I worked teaching kids how to handle animals for many years. I have three dogs, two small elderly mutts and a 3 year old German Shepard/malinois. I’ve dog sat for family friends for up to 3 weeks at a time. I love working with animals and it’s been a passion of mine for years. I’m extremely flexible and can work with any schedule. I’m in college and do mostly online classes. I can conform to any set schedule your pets already on. My childhood dog has anxiety so I’m used to taking care of anxious, clingy, and high energy dogs. I have experience with a wide variety of cats as well. My main priority is your animal(s) comfort.
