“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.”
“Wow, I am beyond happy that I found Marion to watch my dogs. She goes above and beyond. She takes very good care of them and sends pictures throughout their stay. She is also very easy to communicate with. She watched my dogs Sierra and Simba. Sierra is a 10 year old golden retriever, and Simba is a 16 year old Pekingese. Simba is blind and deaf. He is a very old dog. She did an incredible job with both dogs. She wiped and cleaned the eye boogers out of my elderly dog’s eyes and changed his diapers (he’s incontinent). She made sure the dogs got so much love and attention throughout the day. The dogs had free range of a fenced yard and were allowed up on the furniture. Sierra loves to hang out on furniture. I am so happy I came across Marion. The dogs were very well cared for. My heart is happy. I know exactly where to take them if I ever need a dog sitter. Thank you so much, Marion. -Kelsey”
“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.”
“Citlali is AMAZING! 💯 percent reliable and took care of Krimzen as her own 💚 she even worked with me when my flight was delayed & agreed to drop him off at the designated time we agreed on. 🌟 he had an accident on his blanket and she washed it for me, which she didn’t need to do. I appreciate her taking care of him for the second time! I will continue to go with her, as she’s considerate and adaptable!”
“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!”
“Melissa took great care of our baby while we celebrated our birthdays out of town for the weekend. She sent us pictures and videos and updated us every day. He had a fun weekend playing with her kiddos and the other doggies while we enjoyed ourselves elsewhere. If we go out of town in the future, we will definitely use her again.”
“Angie and her son took excellent care of Sam while I was out of town! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Loved all the updates I received everyday :). Felt like he was in great hands the whole time I was away! Would absolutely use them again!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience as a pet owner, trainer, and sitter, I provide dependable and compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve fostered and bottle-raised everything from kittens to calves, and I’m experienced with senior care and administering medications. I pride myself on being trustworthy, responsible, and truly in tune with each animal’s individual needs. Pet sitting is my full-time work, so I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your booking needs, including weekends, holidays, and even same day or last-minute requests. Safety, Trust & Environment I am fully insured and provide both in-home care at clients’ homes—whether for overnight stays or daytime drop-ins—as well as boarding in our home. Our property includes a secure fenced yard for safe potty breaks and playtime, cozy kennels for restful sleep, and of course, plenty of belly rubs and affection. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and safety, whether they’re staying with me or I’m coming to them.
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
“This was Charlie's 2nd stay with Jesse. Charlie was super excited when we got to his house, which was a relief to us because he knew we were packing up the car and was anxious. Charlie was well cared for and had a great time. jesse took him on a good hike. Thanks!”
“Tamara and her family are the sweetest most kindest and caring ppl. They took care of my puppy June while I was on vacation and they sent me pictures and videos everyday. They also made him feel comfortable and gave him all the love in the world while I was gone. I most definitely be back to them whenever my puppy needs any care. Thank you again Tamara and family.”
“If you want a safe and friendly environment for your dog then Cordelia is your girl!!!! She had Mazy for a week and our dog was actually smiling in pictures she sent us!!! Her communication was excellent!!! She was so sweet and it looked like Mazy had a great time!! She even let us know right away when Mazy was not feeling good!! She definitely had play time and went to the dog park!! Unfortunately we were only in the area for a week. I wish Cordelia was around where we lived because she’d definitely get a lot of business from us!!! I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!!!! She’s definitely one of the best sitters I have come across!!!”
“Carol was great with my dog, Henry! Even in her small space, he felt right at home. She took amazing care of him and even helped with his training. She sent photos & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
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.
“Nina was an amazing sitter for our dog. To begin, the big, grassy backyard was a great selling point for me since our dog loves to be outside laying in the sun. She enjoyed hanging out with Nina's dog and we received at least one picture every day that we were gone. The kids really missed their dog so this was a really nice touch. Nina was even able to give our dog her medication (an eye drop) which is sometimes a challenge for us. We were so happy to find Nina and would definitely call on her again when the need arises. Thank you, Nina!”
