“Abby saved Arty’s life while she was sitting. He became very seriously ill the second day I was gone. I was on a boat in glacier bay Alaska and could not be reached for 2 days. I had not left a letter authorizing payment to his vets (my bad) and when she called, they refused. So she had the good sense to show up at their door with him in their arms after calling everyone who I listed as support and trying on her own to revive him. (He is diabetic). He had been in ICU for 2 days by the time I got all her messages. The waters parted and I was able to get home the same day. In the meantime, she visited him in ICU and gave him love and encouragement. It turned out that he had a ruptured gall bladder and they removed it along with cleaning out all the granular black debris from his abdominal cavity. He has almost recovered completely now, only one week later. I know he would not be alive if it wasn’t for Abby. Grateful is an understatement! Abby is all that a pet owner could want to look after their beloved fur baby.”
“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.”

“We really appreciate all the care that Lisbeth gave our boy during our absence. She was great in communication and sent us tons of photos and videos. If you need responsive and trustworthy care for your fur babies , you can trust Lisbeth 1000%. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ponchik.”

“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'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.
“Mallory was a wonderful pet sitter for our Boston Terrier, Lola. During the walk-through, she was thorough and asked lots of questions, making sure everything was written down to get it just right. She stayed in our home, kept everything spotless, and was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. Lola had a great time and clearly felt comfortable with her. We’d absolutely have Mallory watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”

“Such peace of mind! I have separation anxiety away from.Gavin. We have a unique relationship because of the way I have chosen to raise him. He's like my three year old child in the way we communicate. He is so good and we have routines. I don't leave him except for appointments during the day. He's so content to be in our home with Lauren. She helps him.feel safe, has great compassion and follows our routines. He loves that she prefers being outdoors with him. All dogs respond to her gentle nature and sweet voice.”

“Brendan was amazing, and game for all of my Frenchie’s quirks and needs! He was very responsive, and even met me half-way at the very last minute so I wouldn’t be late! Recommend him HIGHLY!!!”

“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!!!”

“Sonia was fantastic with our dog. It was a huge comfort having someone who is so experienced with veterinary medicine taking care of our older frenchie with some health issues. Highly recommend”
“I loved Andrea taking care of my cat Billy and the odd menagerie of feral cats that live at my home. She did an outstanding job. She follow the instructions carefully and was able to follow them and feed all the cats and take good care of Billy and the others. She stayed and played with Billy, which he loved. She maintained the litter robot, which is sometimes a challenge. She kept everything clean and took care of them the day I came home so I didn’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend Andrea, she is very conscientious and pays attention to detail and send pics and is really aware of how special our babies are to us and she is very good with cats. I will use her again when I attend my brother’s wedding soon.”

“Kostyantyn did a great job with our 1 year old boxer Caesar. They got along very well, and he was able keep Caesar busy with walks and play and eventually he took afternoon nap. We were kept updated with pics throughout day. Highly recommend.”

About: I have worked in the vet field for 5+ years. Also am familiar with boarding procedures. I.e: special feeding instructions, Separate feeding + meds etc I am a very active person. Walking for a good amount of time would not phase me and if your pets requires some outdoor time. That expectation will definitely be met. I mix my everyday lifestyle with working with animals whenever I can I am very patient, loving, and overall a sucker for fur baby! I have had my fair share of experiences with all kinds of fur babies! From young to senior! My experience will definitely go above and beyond
“Mari is awesome! She's so good with our lab, Mizuno. She's easy to talk to, give instructions... and most importantly she's incredibly sweet with Mizuno. I look forward to having 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!
“Christine did a great job managing our two high-anxiety Vizslas. She house sat with them for us while we were going to lunch and a jazz show, and treated them with mucho love and playtime. She sent us photos and videos, took them for a couple of walks, and we could tell she really enjoys her time with pets. We will definitely hire Christine again next time we are in Carmel and recommend her if you want a well-trained and loving sitter!”

Not only was Sammy kind, responsible and great with our pups, she was also very responsive in her communication and willing to work with our schedule when we had to change our initial booking dates. I am so glad that her availability matched our new dates, and I know our pets are too! We came home to happy pets and we would certainly book with Sammy again in the future! Thanks Sammy!:)
