Molly took wonderful care of my two kitties, Jackson, and Jackie while we were away! She played with my outgoing cat Jackson,and even got photos of my sweet little scaredy-cat, Jackie, hiding under the tub. I felt reassured that my little ones were in good hands. I’ve already booked her again for our next trip! Thank you, Molly!🐈‍⬛❤️

Carol was thoroughly professional, friendly, and easygoing when we met and I felt reassured from our first meeting that she would do a great job taking care of my two kitties while I was away. She contacted me with daily updates at the scheduled feeding times, and the whole process was smooth and positive. I will be calling on her again next time I need her help feeding and playing with my kitties while I’m traveling.

With over 30 years of experience in dog walking, boarding and loving, my simple mission is to make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and very happy during their stay with me. Every walk with me is an mini adventure! Be it the trails of Garland Park, Carmel Beach, a stroke around town, a Big Sur adventure or just hanging out in my orchard at the back of my secure and fenced cabin in the valley.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care that’s fully tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I understand that no two pets are the same, and I take the time to follow their individual routines, preferences, and requirements so they feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to match their age, energy level, and temperament. I also have experience with a variety of other pets, including aquatic, amphibian, and reptile species, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions for non traditional pets. In addition, I am experienced with animals that require extra medical care and close attention, including administering medications. I am especially experienced with insulin injections and understand how important consistency, calm handling, and reliability are when caring for pets with medical needs. My approach is always based on your pet’s personal requirements whether that’s a specific feeding routine, extra patience, playtime, or quiet companionship. I am dependable, detail oriented, and truly dedicated to providing high quality care so you can feel confident your pets are in loving, capable hands. I am available every day for animal sitting and plan my schedule carefully around the pets in my care. I do work full time, with shifts from 6:00 am to 2:30 pm, but outside of those hours I am fully dedicated to being present, attentive, and engaged with your animals. I am a very driven and reliable person, and I take animal care seriously. I believe the best pet care starts with listening to you and your pet. I work closely with each family to make sure both your needs and your animal’s needs are fully met. My goal is for your pets to feel like their parents never left home. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine and lifestyle, whether that means a specific mealtime setup, a favorite walking route around the block or park, playtime at certain hours, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel happiest, safest, and most comfortable. From cats to dogs, kittens to seniors, I focus on consistency, patience, and genuine care so your pet feels relaxed, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your peace of mind matters just as much as their comfort.

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.

About: I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family to pet and house sit for many years. I enjoy helping people feel comfortable knowing their pets and home are well taken care of I work part time during the week and occasionally on the weekends. I make time to check in on clients promptly in the mornings and after work, and as much as I can on the weekends when I have more time. I personally love when pet sitters send me pictures and videos every day to ensure my cat is being fed. I provide the same service for others, as well as prompt and professional communication about pet care.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer. I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better. I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.

About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, I’ve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason I’m able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. I’ve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. I’m also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs I’ve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. I’m a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.

About: Breeds I have taken care of: German shepherd Great Dane Golden Doodle Great Dane/Mastiff Hi! I’m Marissa — dog walker, house sitter, and part-time therapist for a German Shepherd named Kai, who has decided I’m his entire personality now. Kai started as a very reactive, chaotic dog at first, but now he’s out here heeling, minding his business around other dogs, and acting like he’s training me. He’s still protective but he’s not as reactive to other animals. So yes, I’m totally comfortable with big breeds, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who are a little… dramatic. 🐾 Please note: Bookings that require extended travel or constant care may require a rate adjustment. I’m calm, patient, and I actually pay attention to your pet’s vibe. Whether your furry friend wants zoomies, snuggles, or a silent stare-down from across the room — I can match their energy. If you want someone reliable who will love your pet, hype them up, and send you funny updates, I got you. Also Kai wanted me to tell you he approves this message. I am a part time student so I’m mostly free on weekends. I spend most of my free time either studying, walking Kai, or going to the gym, so I can easily squeeze in some pet care/house sitting. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any house rules you have. I give lots of positive reinforcement, calm company, and plenty of play or enrichment depending on what your pet enjoys. I also keep your home tidy, double-check doors and gates, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

Absolute angel. Took care of my two goblin cats for two weeks, and was extremely flexible, supportive, and caring with the fur babies. She sent regular updates and pictures, and treated the goblins wonderfully. 10/10 care and support.
