“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!”

About: Personalized occupations, 24/7 pet sitting with daily photo updates, multiple pet care, and tailored care plans, ensuring your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind🩶. As a pet sitter, I’d work with you to seamlessly fit pet care into your daily or weekly schedule by taking on key tasks, ensuring your pet’s needs are met while you’re busy.🗓️ Ensuring the safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for your pet is my top priority. I’d ensure doors, gates, and windows are locked to prevent escapes, and I’d keep hazardous items (e.g., toxic foods, small objects) out of reach. For small pets, I’d double-check cage security. All while making sure your lovable animals have a stress free and loving environment.💌

About: Hello! Personalize, attention, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Your pups well-being is something I truly care about, making me the ideal choice for you! Before this app I had already started dog sitting and walking in places like Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Pacific Grove. I spend the other half of my time wedding planning, but I can do a lot from home! And I’m only part time so plenty of time to spend with the dogs! I’ve had many animals growing up from rats to alpacas so I’ve seen it all. I’m comfortable sleeping over and giving medicine, eye drop, or shots if needed.

“Mari is fabulous! Nat was a bit unhappy to be woken from her nap but Mari handled it like the pro she is. They had nice, productive walks and her communication was top notch. She was always on time, gave me a full rundown and she is a lovely person. After meeting with her, I was at ease knowing me sweet senior pup would be well taken care of and I was spot on. I will happily use Mari again and recommend her without hesitation. In fact, I already have some upcoming dates in mind and felt comfortable in booking my next trip knowing my baby would be well taken care of in my absence. Thank you Mari for taking such good care of Nat and being so accommodating.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.

He left us great updates and was very responsive when we messaged him, so we never felt worried about our dog while trying to enjoy our vacation.”

About: I’ve sat for friends and family through out the years. I’ve also taken care of my own animals for years and have become more attentive throughout the years of getting older and being in charge of 2 dogs and 2 cats at one point. I’m used to being around rescue animals with anxieties as all of my animals have been rescued. I would love to care for your pets and treat them as one of my family members and best friend. I am currently a hostess part-time and have a pretty open schedule. I would love to have dog walks and hanging out with dogs and cats be part of my daily routine again. Since living in an apartment I had to leave my childhood dog at home with my mom. I’m used to giving medicating in food and treats as well as through syringes in the mouth. I am also used to preparing food meals.

“We have had the pleasure of working with Harrah for our dogs care needs for years now, both with dog walking and with house/pet sitting. We can not recommend her enough! Many times over the years when we are hours away for a family outing, we message to ask if she is available at some point the next day (or even the same day) and Harrah comes to the rescue — we are so grateful for this. Harrah is always incredibly communicative, friendly, respectful, and kind. She pays full attention to the details when we have specific needs or changes in the care for our dogs, and she is never shy at to ask questions to make sure the dogs are taken care of how we need. It says it all when we see our dogs react when she stops by, and it means the world that we can leave for the day or an extended vacation knowing our dogs will receive the best care possible. Thank you for all you do for us Harrah, we appreciate you and your service.”

Andrea walked my pup and did great with him! They were fast friends and he would wait by the door everyday. He came back tired every time. She was always prompt and reliable and I’ll be using her again and again.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
