Pet Sitting Carmel Valley

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.

“Marla was wonderful! She was so kind and communicative! It was so nice to leave town and now have to worry about anything and know minus we’re in great hands! Will definitely be calling Marla again!”

“Chunli was an excellent, kind and thorough pet sitter. You can tell she loves animals. She was amazing with my cats and I didn’t have to worry about them when I was out of town. I will definitely seek her out again for cat sitting!”

Laura M.

“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.”

Olha M.

“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!”

“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!”

About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities. I am also an experienced photographer and would love to capture some frameable shots of your dog during a drop-in or walk! I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.

“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.”

“We love Brianna and so does our pup, Nava! She comes twice a day and feeds, plays with and walks her while we are gone. We will use her again!! Roseanne Campbell and Gene Kendall”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that pets are family. I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, including dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, administering routines, companionship, and in-home care while owners are away. I have experience dog and cat sitting in owners’ homes and can provide referrals. I’m highly conscientious, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that means walks, playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, medications/routines, lots of love, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. I know how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pets with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I generally try to keep my weekends open for long term dog sitting work I already do. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible work at home schedule and available to visit your pet several times per day and take for walks or dog beach. Happy to spend time cuddling and scratching, feeding, or playtime. When I visit your home, I'll be happy to entertain your pet at your place or take out for walks. Plenty of snuggle and play time with refills on water, food, etc.

“Nataliya was extremely friendly when we did the greet and meet and even brought Nala some treats (asked first). I felt at peace with her drop-in visits because of her engaged communication and check-in photos to make sure Nala was comfortable and taken care of. Home was tidy when I returned. Highly recommend!”

About: I bring more than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, along with the perspective of a lifelong pet owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I've been in your shoes. Unlike sitters who are away for most of the day, I work remotely as a licensed professional counselor, so I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your pet won't just be checked on—they'll have someone present and attentive. My professional background has also strengthened the qualities that matter most in pet care: patience, reliability, communication, and the ability to understand individual needs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like one of my own because I know they're family. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. As a licensed professional counselor who works remotely from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention, ensuring your pet isn't left alone for extended periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love building relationships with each pet's unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic walk, a cozy companion while you're away, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I'm happy to provide loving, dependable care that gives you peace of mind. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that's as consistent as possible with what they're used to. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being, making sure they receive the attention they need while you're away. When pets stay in my home, they'll enjoy a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. My apartment community features beautiful walking trails, multiple walking paths, convenient pet waste stations, and a dog park all within walking distance, making it easy to provide frequent walks, outdoor time, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!

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!!)

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.

“Madeline was on time and sent photos everyday! Mango loved her as well according to my roommate :)”

“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!!”
