Pet Sitting in Carmel Valley

“It was our first time using Rover and leaving our kitties gone for so long, so we were really apprehensive. But from the get go, Christie made us feel so at ease and the cats warmed up to her quickly. We loved her updates and pictures (and videos) and her quick responses if there were any questions. She took care of our two as if they were her own ☺️. We will definitely be using in the future when we need another sitter!”

“Marianne kept my judgmental and grumpy kitties very happy! I’m not even sure they noticed I was gone. She made sure food and water and the litter box was clean. And, she even gave my plants some TLC.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one since I was six, and that bond taught me how much care and attention our furry friends really need. I also spent four months volunteering at a shelter as part of a school project, where I learned even more about caring for dogs. That experience only deepened my passion for making sure every pup gets the love and walks they deserve. I’m currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Aside from the occasional golf tournament usually twice a month that’s around 6 days total. I’ll be spending most of my time in Monterey. If you’re heading out of town for a few days, I’d love to help take care of your dog. I’m reliable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding, medications, or walking preferences. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and calm to make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure. I always check for anything that could be unsafe, like open gates or small items they could chew on. I treat every pet like they’re my own giving them lots of attention, a safe environment, and a routine they can rely on.

“Kenzee was very reliable in sending updates, flexible as cats were more or less hiding, and didn't bat an eye to handle 3 cats at once. Really appreciate the help!”

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? :)

“Honestly, we could not leave for our trips without Carol. We love and trust her implicitly. Our cats are happy, relaxed and calm. She is the best.”

“Kim was great to work with! I wish my cat wasn’t such a scaredy cat, but thankfully she was able to spot her a few times. Everything was taken care of while I was away and Kim always updated me when she was at the house. Would definitely book for visits again!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer. I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better. I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.

About: Animals have always been a part of our lives—we’ve both grown up with pets and naturally stepped into caring for friends’ and family’s animals over the years. Whether it’s a week-long vacation or daily walks, we love offering consistent, loving care that makes pets feel right at home. What sets us apart? You get two experienced, reliable caregivers for the price of one. That means more attention, more flexibility, and more love for your pet. We’re an active duo who knows the area well, from peaceful walking paths to safe open spaces for more energetic pups. That said, we’re also great at matching energy—if your pet’s more of a couch cuddle buddy, we’re totally here for that too. We can host pets in our own home (cozy, safe, and pet-friendly!) or we’re happy to stay in yours—whatever works best for your needs. Our priority is your pet’s happiness, safety, and routine, and we treat every animal like part of the family. One of the biggest advantages of booking with us is our extremely flexible schedules. We both work remotely and set our own hours, which means pet care can easily fit into our daily routine. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, we’ve got it covered. Because there are two of us, one or the other will always be available to provide care, attention, and companionship. We’re able to accommodate a wide range of needs—from regular walks and drop-ins to overnight stays and longer-term sitting. Whether we’re caring for your pet in our home or yours, their comfort and safety are always our top priorities. We're happy to offer both options—pet sitting in our clean, pet-friendly home or staying in your space to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. We take the time to get to know each pet’s needs, habits, and personality so we can create a stress-free environment, whether that means daily walks, quiet companionship, or medication support. Our home is secure, smoke-free, and stocked with cozy spots for rest, play, and everything in between. We’re big believers in communication and trust—you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

Whether your pet needs a cozy cuddle, a long walk, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I’ll treat them with the care and respect they deserve! Let me know how I can help support you and your pet's routine! My schedule is fairly flexible as I am a PhD student and my work is entirely online. I am available for morning, mid afternoon, and evening walks/drop ins. I am also available on weekends and for house sitting! I am clean and organized, and will treat your home and your pets like my own! I will follow your care instructions carefully and maintain your routine so your animals feel the most comfortable.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience with dog sitting. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I treat every dog like my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust—and I’m here to give your dog the care, attention, and love they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had dogs, so feeding, walking, and spending time with them fits easily into my schedule. When I’m dog sitting, I adjust my day to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they’re used to. I care for pets like they’re my own—whether in my home or yours. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love and attention.
