Dog Walkers in Carmel Valley, CA

“Christie was very sweet to my babies, was prompt and communicated well. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know my pups, home and concerns. I always worry that my pups are just wild and not following our normal and ongoing training with walkers and sitters. However, during our introductions Christie seemed comfortable correcting behaviors like jumping and chewing. The pups were sad when she left which is a great sign to me!”

“Carol was fantastic with our eight-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She quickly bonded with her and provided a wonderful midweek walk, complete with photo updates. Her communication was clear, timely, and professional, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We’d be delighted to work with Carol again and highly recommend her!”

“She did a wonderful job.”

About: 10 yrs vet hospital experience (8 yrs as a vet assistant & 2 client liaison) Why do I love pet sitting? Because they mean the world to you. I not only care about my furry friends but also their owners. My professional relationship is one you can count on. I have extensive experience with cats & dogs (among other animals). I joined the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant in 2008 at a small clinic in my hometown. I got 2 years of hands-on experience before I took the opportunity to work at the *San Francisco SPCA. I served there 2010 to 2018 as a veterinary assistant. I was promoted to client liaison & grew into other opportunities to work more with the public. In my non-work life, I have cared for: Mice, Rats, Hamsters, Chickens, Birds, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Dogs, & Horses. I thrive on interaction with both people & animals. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. My experience administering medication I am fully trained in subcutaneous injections & fluid administration. I am capable of giving oral medication to difficult patients. My career has led me out of the veterinary clinics and into human clinics. I love all earthlings and my skills have never faltered. I look forward to caring for your littles, your bigs, or in-betweens! I usually have plenty of time for my furry friends who need attention. I am flexible around my work schedule as my clients need me. The pet's needs come first. Keeping them safe, entertained, clean, and happy. My petcare mantra: A tired dog is a happy dog. Show a cat your devotion and they'll curl up in your lap.

“Jessica is absolutely great! Very communicative and takes such loving care of your baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs pet care.”

About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)

About: Hello! I'm currently on Summer break from a Graduate program I'm doing at the Middlebury Institute here in Monterey. I have always grown up with animals in my house (dogs, cats, hamsters, fish!) and have a dog of my own whom is very sweet, gets along with all animals, and is used to being around many animals. I have worked as a dog walker, and have house-sat and dog-sat for many people. I have references if needed. I hope I can be of assistance to you and your pet family, thank you! I'm available throughout the Summer to house-sit and/or dog sit weekdays and weekends. I do have my own dog (10 year old Chihuahua) who gets along with all animals and has accompanied me in the past house sitting and dog sitting that I've done. I treat other's pets as if they were my own. I follow the wishes of the owner's guidelines for their pets while giving them love, lots of walks, and treats. :)

About: I grew up with a dog throughout my childhood and miss him every day! I had a roommate with a dog recently for about a year as well and loved having a fur baby again. I recently got married and moved in with my husband, and I’m missing having a dog to walk and take care of! I’m a freelance French translator and interpreter, so my schedule is very flexible! I typically work from home and tend to have a lot of available in the afternoons, but can often assist in the morning as well, with advance notice. I’m not able to care for pets in my home at this time, as I’m not allowed to have dogs in my rental, unfortunately! I wish I could!

“Chrystina did an amazing job on her first solo walk with our dogs, especially with Lola, who can be a bit timid and nervous with new people. Her patience and dedication were truly impressive—she took the time to earn Lola’s trust and even found creative ways to get her comfortable. We really appreciate how attentive and caring she was, keeping us updated throughout and ensuring both dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you, Chrystina, for going above and beyond—we’re very grateful!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a kid. I grew up with many cats and dogs growing up feeding them, playing, cuddling, and all there needs.I love them all. I started pet sitting when I was 13 and have been providing services like these whenever the opportunity presented itself since. I have a strong caregiving instinct and have always found it easy to emotionally connect with animals. People often comment on my ability to connect with their pets even when their pets struggle connecting with new humans overall. I am experienced in basic training for dogs of all ages and am confident when it comes to setting routine and creating structure during meals, potty, and play time. I am currently working part time and thankfully this means my schedule is pretty flexible allowing quality time with your little (or not-so-little) ones! I am available during virtually all days and hours of the week currently, and will communicate any changes in this availability in a timely manner so as to not complicate any of your schedules in the process. When in a clients home, I am a big believer in leaving it better than I found it. I will do my best to clean up after myself and your pup (while respecting homeowner's boundaries and comfort level of course). I always conduct myself in the professional and respectful way that I would expect a sitter to do for me! I’m currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to spend walking the dogs on a nice beach walk around time going out and giving them time outside, playing catch, and so on I have a fenced in backyard and two gentle fury friends to keep your doggies company. I live in pacific grove, a very safe community.
