Pet Sitting Carmel Valley

“Chunli did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were gone. We’re very happy with her service and definitely will book her again in the future.”

About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)

“Devon did a great job with my cat and our home. She was very respectful, kind and attentive in her care of both. She went above and beyond with her reports, making note of his activity levels as well as any concerns she had. They were all concise but informative, which was much appreciated. I would be happy to invite her back.”

About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.

“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”

“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”

“Highly recommended. She’s the best!”

About: I've been a dog owner myself for many years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As an active UCSD student-athlete, I love spending time outdoors and can provide dogs with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm responsible, dependable, and experienced in providing attentive care through both my personal experience as a dog owner and my customer service background. I'm comfortable following specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m an early riser and already spend a lot of time staying active, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on my class and training schedule. I’m especially available on weekends and can be flexible during breaks or lighter academic weeks. I’m very organized and will make sure I can reliably commit to any walks or visits I agree to, so pet care fits in smoothly with my routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and following all owner instructions closely. I ensure pets are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to each animal’s needs and behavior. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”

About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat! I have open availability Monday and Tuesday and from 3-9pm every other day. I am a fast communicator, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find a time that works. I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals

About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience, not just good intentions. I raised and trained my own dog from 8 weeks old, so I understand puppy behavior, training fundamentals, and how to build trust with a young or nervous dog from day one. I'm comfortable with all sizes, from tiny breeds to big dogs who need extra exercise and structure. I've also pet sat for countless friends since I was a teenager, so I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup needs an experienced hand with training reinforcement, extra patience, or just a loving, attentive presence while you're away, I treat every pet like my own. I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I'm not tied to a rigid 9-to-5, so I'm able to offer flexible availability throughout the week — including midday visits, walks, and drop-ins that a lot of full-time sitters can't accommodate. Whether it's a regular weekly routine or last-minute coverage, I have the bandwidth to be reliable and consistent, which I know matters most to pet parents. In my home, your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play — I have a dog-friendly 1,200 square foot apartment, and a trail nearby for walks and exercise. My own dog is incredibly social and loves playing with other dogs, so if your pup enjoys company, they'll have a built-in playmate during their stay. I treat every pet like a member of the household — consistent feeding schedules, plenty of attention, and enough space to settle in and feel comfortable rather than confined. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits they're used to. I want pets to feel like nothing has changed just because their owner is away, and I always treat their home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. Not only have I been responsible for my own family pets, but I’ve also helped care for the pets of friends and family members over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention and care, and maintaining a safe environment. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.I will treat your pets with the same care and affection that I give my own. I’m available all day Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, I’m available after 1:00 PM. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Safety is a nonnegotiable and I will do everything I can to keep your pet safe. When it comes to instructions for your animal, I will ask as many questions as I can do to ensure everything is planned out to your liking. When it comes to trust with animals I will give them all the space they need to get use to me.

“Nataliya was incredible. She truly cared for our dog. I found her a bit last minute and she jumped right in. Sent me pictures and videos. Logged every check in and walk. We were very nervous about leaving our little guy but Nataliya’s responsiveness, attention to detail and genuine care set us at ease so we could enjoy our trip. Will definitely use her next time we need!”

“Oh wow! On top of already being a wonderful sitter with drop-in visits, there was an emergency (saw on my pet cam) at my place when our litter-robot malfunctioned :( Texted Caitlin last minute and she immediately came over that same day to try to fix it. When fixing didn’t work, she also went out of her way to go to the store and bought a litter box when the litter-robot stayed broken. She’s seriously AMAZING! Thank you so much for your time and effort, Caitlin! Truly recommend her as a sitter!!”

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

“Danielle has been great with my pups! I could tell from the pics and video that they were comfortable around her and having fun on the drop in visit. I would for sure use Danielle again to come take care of them during the day!”

About: I’m a HUGEEE cat lover. I adopted my fur baby Bobo from a small family-owned shelter in Baltimore. Ever since then, Bobo has traveled with me from Baltimore to New York, from west coast to the east, and we finally settled down in San Diego. Bobo is a loving lap cat and friendly to other cats as well. So cat boarding is welcome. Other than routine cat care, Bobo has developed UTI issues couple years ago, so I’m also comfortable giving medication, supporting hydration, monitoring litter box behavior closely, and following special diets. Since his first UTI five years ago, he hasn’t had a recurrence thanks to consistent, attentive care. I also have experience boarding and walking my friend’s medium-sized dog. Unfortunately as Bobo gets more sensitive on dogs, I’m not available for dog boarding service but I’m happy to walk your dogs. I’m available for drop in visits before 9am or after 3pm on weekdays. I’m available for most of the time frame on weekends. For boarding, please dm me for availabilities. When I cat sit at a friend’s house, I follow their routine as closely as possible so the cat feels safe and relaxed. I always let the cat greet me first (and get familiar with my scent) before starting anything. Then I do a quick wellness check—gently checking overall mood/energy and, if the cat is comfortable, giving a light pet along the back and belly. After that, I refresh food and water, clean and monitor the litter box, and give any medications or special diet items as needed. I spend quality time based on the cat’s personality—playtime, brushing, or quiet companionship for shy cats. I keep the home tidy and send daily updates with notes and photos, including anything I notice that seems different.
