Emma P.

“Molly was fantastic!! She took great care of our little girl and sent pictures every day, some even using AI for a Fall theme! Very impressed!! Thank you Molly!!”

“We would definitely have Taylor stay with our dogs again. She was prompt, responsive, communicative, and a problem solver. She’s calm and takes her role as canine caregiver seriously. She left the house spotless. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned.”

Natalie N.

“Taryn was a great sitter, who was neat and considerate and who left a very content dog when she left our house. Our return plans were uncertain due to weather in CO but Taryn was more than willing to adjust her schedule to accommadate ours and Buddy's needs. Would definitely call on her again.”

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!

About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”

“Reliable and trustworthy! Genuinely an animal lover, and skilled at that. Great at following detailed instructions.”

“We are so grateful for Mallory. My 10 year old cockerspaniel gets separation anxiety and loved having Mallory's company. Mallory is patient, understanding and thorough. We already have her booked for a week long trip coming up. It's comforting knowing that my fur baby will be loved and cared for while we are away. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

Kelsey T.

“Alexis was very professional, responsive before/during our bookings, and great with our dog. She stayed with our dog for two separate days. He was so excited to see her on the second one. Highly recommend!”

Adrian V.

“The booking with Sonia couldn’t have gone better. Sonia was prompt and very accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”

Lu S.

“Valery is such an amazing person! Our dog takes a while to warm up to people, but him and Valery were best buddies in no time! I was nervous leaving our fur baby while we traveled internationally, but Valery ensured that our pup was well taken care of! We loved receiving daily pictures and videos of our dog and hearing from our neighbors about how loving and sweet Valery was with him! I highly recommend Valery for your pet sitting needs!!!”

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.

“Dean did such an amazing job housesitting for us while we were on vacation. He took care of our chihuahua and Persian cat and they loved him! We got pictures of our pets everyday and I could tell how well they were being cared for. Dean was very communicative during the whole process and took great care of our home as well. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

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.💌

“We hired Lauren to watch our three pups in our home. One of our dogs is a senior with advanced Cushing's Disease and is diabetic. It's been so long since we were able to get away and enjoy ourselves for an extended period of time because of Baxter's medical issues. We needed someone to come and stay in our home and have the knowledge and ability to respond to his medical needs as well as meet the needs of our other two pups. Lauren did all of that for us. She's a professional through and through, wonderful personality and incredibly flexible with us. It's such a relief to know our pets are in her hands so we can enjoy our time away. We feel so lucky to have found her! She's the best!”

About: I've been a pet owner my entire life, since before i can remember. Grew up around Dogs and Cats and understand them both. I lost my best friend in March of 2024 and am not quite ready to have another. I am looking forward to treating your best friends as though they are my own. I work as a caddie at Pebble Beach. With Spanish Bay closed for the year, I will have plenty of time. As I generally work 5-6 hours a day on my work days, I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members. I am available all days of the week I come to your house and care for your pets on their own turf. I believe it makes them more comfortable and provides an added level of security while you are traveling.

About: As a specialized pet care provider, I offer patient, fear-free sitting designed specifically for rescue animals, seniors, and pets with behavioral or physical disabilities. I focus on maintaining strict medical routines and building trust at your animal's individual pace, giving you total peace of mind that your high-needs companion is safe and understood. Because I balance pet care with my weekday studies and commitments, my schedule is perfectly tailored for dedicated evening check ins, weekend care, and overnight housesitting. While you are away for the weekend or out for the evening, your cat will have my full, undivided attention right when they need it most like dinner time, evening play, and nighttime cuddles For pets with rescue backgrounds, trauma histories, physical disabilities, or behavioral quirks, their home is their sanctuary. Change can be overwhelming, which is why I specialize in providing dedicated, in-home care designed to preserve your pet’s sense of safety, routine, and comfort while you are away. Rather than forcing a connection, I practice a patient, trust-first approach. I meet your animal exactly where they are whether that means sitting quietly across the room to let a shy rescue set the pace, or meticulously maintaining a senior pet's environmental and medical routine. I am deeply attuned to animal body language and decompression timelines, ensuring your pet's boundaries are always respected and their stress levels remain low.

“Greta was very attentive and helpful when taking care of Kora. We had to take Kora to the pet hospital the night before we left and Greta gave us peace of mind to leave Kora with her and to mange the medication. She was respectful and good communicator. Would hire her again in the future!”
