House Sitting Carmel Valley

About: Hi, I’m Alex! What sets me apart is my depth of experience and attentiveness. I cared for my own senior dog for many years, which gave me a deep understanding of gentle routines, mobility needs, medication awareness, and emotional comfort and connection. I’ve cared for other pets such as birds and reptiles, which sharpened my ability to notice subtle behavioral and health changes. In addition, I’ve spent years observing professional pet-sitting practices and routines, giving me a strong sense of what high-quality, reliable care truly looks like. I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and respect to every pet and home I’m trusted with. I offer flexible pet care that fits seamlessly around my work schedule, with availability mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate early, late, or short-notice requests to support pets and their routines. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routines, environment, and emotional comfort. I take a calm, observant approach—respecting each pet’s pace and preferences—while providing consistent care, companionship, and attentive support. My goal is always to create a low-stress, nurturing experience where pets feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for. Every dog deserves loving, attentive care! I’m happy to welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for walks, drop-in visits, and other services that fit their needs. For overnight care, I specialize in hosting hypoallergenic and low-shedding breeds to help ensure a comfortable environment for both your pup and me.

About: I’ve owned dogs for 12 years and taken care of dogs from ages of puppy to senior, I currently have two shitzu’s, one is blind and needs extra care that I am able to handle with other blind dogs if needed. I have a completely open and free schedule, able to pet sit any day and any time as well as overnight or all day if needed. I live in an apartment building with my two cats and dogs, I take me dogs on walks every other day and take them out to the bathroom every 2 hours, one of my dogs is blind and needs extra care and patience when walking and one of my cats wears diapers as she has continence issues, I am able to and can take care of other animals with these issues as well. Two of my relatives are active and past veterinarians and can offer active help and advice if needed.

“We came home to well loved pups and a super happy cat! Peyten took exceptional care of our pups who are on different meds and different personalities and a German shepherd who can be an anxious and nervous girl. Our mail was brought in our house looks immaculate. Our girls locked themselves in one of our rooms and she went above and beyond getting a door key and letting us know and keeping us in the loop. That door is truly a pain so I appreciated I had ease of mind it was all worked out. Our cats space was well taken care of including the litter box. We can’t thank you enough Peyten!”

“Sara did amazing and left our dogs happy and our house looking as we left it! We are happy to work with them and will hire again to house sit.”

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats.

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

“Jenna was wonderful. She had the very challenging task of watching our 4 month old golden doddle. Jenna was great with keeping Molly busy with walks and play. She is a 5 start sitter, and a wonderful person with a kind and loving heart. Please do not hesitate in using Jenna, as she is a such a professional and caring dog sitter!!”

“Sophia was absolutely amazing when it came to both house and dog-sitting. She was so attentive to and understanding with our reactive dog Riley and was so great about maintaining Riley’s routine while we were away. She’s incredibly responsive and we loved all the photos she sent us. I cannot think of a better person to care for Riley and no question we’ll be booking with Sophia again when needed! 🥰”

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.

“Melissa is an angel!! I would highly recommend Melissa to take care of your fur babies. She came through for me in a pinch. She sent photos and really put me at ease. This was the first time using Rover.com. I will definitely use Melissa again to take care of my fur baby.”

About: Always had a love of animals cats and dogs. Pets are all lovable in their own fun and unique ways. I would one, guarantee your pet friends are looked after with the most care and attention and two keep, in close contact with you providing updates and photos throughout 🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐾 On the weekends I’m the most flexible both during the day and night. Weekdays I’d be available 4pm and after for walks, drop ins or stays. I can’t provide lodging at the moment but regarding drop in or stays I’d treat anyone and anyone’s home as I would friends and family.

“Shannon was great with our 11 month old puppy! She sent frequent updates and pictures and he looked like he was having a great time with her, her son and her puppy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of our pup!”

About: My dogs have passed and at this stage in our lives we travel to visit our children and grandchildren and so it's not reasonable for us to have our own dogs anymore. Instead when we're home we Foster dogs, we have fostered over 100 dogs for Monterey Bay Lab rescue. And we watch dogs for our friends. Rover gives us an opportunity to watch dogs for you and let you come to the Monterey peninsula or go camping or to family events or wherever you need to to go knowing that your dog is in our home and being loved completely. A home away from home for your dog. I promise. I work from home with a laptop on my lap sitting on a couch. All the dogs always love to sit next to me and snuggle and sleep and they love the fact that that's just what I do all day. They wander out to our little backyard area because we keep the door wide open and it's right next to the couch. They can bring their own toys but we also have a ton of toys. If you're from out of town, you can bring your dog to Carmel and go to the beach and Carmel Beach is the best for dogs. And then you can drop your dog off with me and you can go to the Monterey Bay aquarium or go out to dinner or do whatever you want. I'm a professor at our local University, my husband travels for business so he's gone a lot. I would love to have your dogs as companions during the days or nights. At our house dogs can go on the couches, they can sleep on the bed, they pretty much have the going to Grandma's house experience. I don't mix and match dogs unless I've watched them for a long time and I know they're all going to get along together. I like to just have one at a time or if two come in from a family, two is fine. Even three is okay if they're coming from the same family and they all like each other. We do have a dog park about a half a block away so if the dog is one that likes dog parks, we can do that. I will say from my fostering experience for the last 16 years, dogs normally do great when they meet someone who is just going to love them unconditionally. It's funny because the rescue organization gives me the dogs that need quiet and safe, loving and space to just decompress. So if your dog likes to just chill and you want to go, have a great adventure on your own and know that your baby is safe. I am definitely the pet sitter for you I teach online so I'm very rarely out of the house. I'm usually sitting on my couch with my laptop. I have a nice fenced-in back yard / patio area and I leave the door wide open to the back all the time, And the door is literally 2 ft from the couch. The dogs can come and go safely. I just love to have a dog snuggling up with me on the couch while I'm working. My husband teases me that we can't walk anywhere without me stopping and petting and talking and scratching every dog I see. I have a fenced in small backyard. I leave the door open between my living room and the backyard so the dogs can come and go. Some dogs love to just lay in the sun on the back pavers other dogs just go out to go to the bathroom while other dogs won't go out unless I go out and sit with them. It's very very safe

About: Hi, my name is Landon, I'm from Salinas, California and it's my second year living in Eugene. I attended the university last year and now I'm taking a gap year to get my financials in order, in state tuition, etc. so I can finish my degree. My girlfriend and I have been together 3 years and her parents have 17 and 20 years of experience in the animal field. Her dad is one of the head animal control officers for Monterey County (where we're from) and has taught both of us so much about dogs and cats. Whether it be training methods, foods that are better than others, how to recognize certain behavioral habits, or any problem we come to him with, her dad has taught us how to truly take the best care of a dog. If I were to be accepted to take care of your pet, I would use all of my tools and knowledge and my whole heart to show your furry kid love. Currently, I'm looking for any job so my schedule is wide open! Caring for your pet will be at the top of my list as soon as I hear I can take care of them. So I unfortunately would not be able to care for pets at my house for extended periods of time, as my place doesn't allow ownership of pets, but one night wouldn't hurt at all. Any pet I encounter I treat as if it were my own, and with that comes smothering them with love, and caring to meet their needs as a pup while to a certain degree, spoiling them!

About: I like to be active and go on runs or walks, so I can do any activity like that with your dog(s); whether we're playing fetch, going on walks/runs, visiting the park, etc. and I am a very patient and loving person! It would be a pleasure to have fun with your dog(s) in any capacity! I have experience house/dog sitting and running with even the most energetic dogs! I also have experience of taking care of puppies and understand the commitment level and patience to hang out with a puppy! I am capable of taking out dogs for walks or playing frequently. I would love to hear more about your pets and how I can help out! I work nearby in Monterey and some days I work from home. I can walk early mornings or after work days. I am flexible and can be available for weekends. I can do walks or runs in various areas. I have a small backyard, concrete/dirt mix where my dog has space to run and play fetch. It is all enclosed, and theres even a fake grass patch for dogs. I walk mornings and evenings and can also run dogs with extra energy. I work from home some days of the week so can be with dog for longer parts of the day and schedule can be flexible depending on needs.

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. Since I was about eight years old I have looked after a variety of animals. Including dogs, cats, and even reptiles like lizards and bearded dragons! I also previously worked at multiple dog daycares and was a shift supervisor at one of them for over a year. I currently have no job so the most I am out of the house is two or three hours and we do frequent potty breaks. I also take them to the dog park if weather and time permits:)! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs who love to have friends. And plenty of extra room inside the house so the dogs have their own space aswell!

“Danae was readily available and took good care of our dogs and house ! She provided updates with photos/videos daily. We gladly recommend her.”
