About: I am the person for you if you’re looking for someone responsible and caring to walk your four legged friend. Let me know if you might need someone to check in on your pet or pets to make sure all is well or maybe need a home away from home while you’re taking a short trip. If your pet would do better in their own home, just let me know. My own dog family has included an Australian Shepard (named Angel), two terriers (Boots and Bear) a Cardigan Welsh Corgi (Fairy Glenn Natalie aka “Natty Girl”), and a golden retrievers (Woody) and a Pomeranian (Bubba)! Our newest additions are Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Abby) and Auggie (Corgi/Australian Shepard, Huckleberry)! From puppy to senior, it didn’t take long for them to be part of our family. I have always been a dog lover and will treat your pet like my own and consider your pets individual needs! In response to COVID-19, I am continuing to exercise caution during this time by sanitizing leashes, keeping hands and home clean and sanitized before and after visits. If you'd prefer, please let me know & I can use my own leash as an extended precaution. Instead of in person meet & greets prior to service, I am also available for remote meeting such as facetime and zoom platforms. Our pets need us, let's do what we can to keep ourselves safe from this virus! I believe that dog walks are an important part of a doggie's day and I'm willing to help out with that when life gets in the way! With enough notice I can drive throughout Monterey County and sometimes a bit beyond. I will keep your fur baby company and keep them entertained with chew toys, walks, and any suggestions that you might have for your pet's personality. Sometimes, they seem to prefer naps until they see you again :)

“We are a four dog family and asked much of Jalissa watching them all during our home’s open house. She managed to keep them all very happy taking them for long walks and sending lots of photos of their adventures. Caring for four dogs at once is not for the weak of heart and she did an amazing job. I would entrust our pups to her anytime. She takes your dogs on as her own and makes sure they’re happy while you’re gone. Thank you Jalissa!”

“We were so lucky to find Sara for our two-week trip. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Sara completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. They were professional, warm, and clearly wonderful with our two dogs. The best part was their communication—we looked forward to their daily photos and updates! It was so reassuring to see our boys happy and well-cared-for. We came home to a tidy house and two very happy dogs. We fully trusted Sara in our home and with our pets, and we will absolutely be booking them for all our future trips. Highly recommend”

“Greta was GREAT! Throughout the whole process she has been prompt with communication and oh so pleasant. She clearly developed a caring and affectionate relationship with our dog and she was well cared for during our vacation. She also kept us appraised of their activities with plenty of photos, which clearly showed that Tilly was well cared for and having fun. She also took good care of our home and we returned to a clean and orderly house! Always a plus after vacation. I would recommend Greta without reservation.”

“Sophia was a great pet sitter. She checked in with me regularly and was very prompt. It was much easier to enjoy my recent trip knowing that Sophia was there with my dog, Kota. Kota is an older dog, and Sophia managed her medications and small walks for us. I would, of course, book her again.”

“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 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.

“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!!!”

“My husband (Brian ) and I were very pleased with our first experience using Harrah for an overnight pet sitting. She has a very calm demeanor which our dog likes. We’re not your “typical people”, because we have a very high maintenance dog and are very detailed with our expectations. Harrah took notes and listened well with our protocol. When we returned home we could tell right away that Max was happy and content. (Unlike past vacations retuning home finding our dog had anxiety thru the roof 🥺) We also gave her additional responsibility to feed our Koi pond which again she was stellar at. We highly recommend Harrah for pet sitting and have already booked her for three more trips. 🐾🐶”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to two pups of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My dogs have very different personalities, which has given me experience with both calm, easygoing dogs and larger, high-energy ones who need structure and engagement. I also have light experience with cats and am comfortable respecting their space and routines. Safety and consistency matter a lot to me. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and try to maintain your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Provided consistent communication and updates.”

“Bryn was a wonderful dogsitter! Great, prompt communication, and we came home to two very happy pups. She took lovely care of the house. Our dogs are a little complicated, but Bryn figured them out quickly and affectionately. 5/5, would use Bryn again!!”

About: Letty is a Carmel native and proud sixth-generation Californian. She studied business at the University of San Francisco and continued her education in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Courtauld Institute of Art. After living abroad, she returned to the Monterey Peninsula, where she brings her creativity to local projects. With a lifelong love of animals, Letty is happy to care for dogs and other beloved pets - because there’s nothing quite like the bond we share with them. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, decorating, supporting local charities, and spending time with her niece. Pet care easily becomes part of my daily rhythm—I genuinely enjoy it. I build my schedule around walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, making sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and not rushed. I care for pets by sticking closely to their established routines - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest - while giving them lots of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I also make sure to respect the space, keep things clean, and follow any specific instructions exactly as provided.

“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.”
