“This was the first time I scheduled Becky to look out after our dog and I was very pleased with how attentive she was to making sure my dog was comfortable and she kept me in the loop with how thing were going. Strongly recommend to others.”
“Michael B. did an excellent job pet-sitting for Jewel and keeping us informed about how the visits were going. He was very conscientious and helped Jewel feel comfortable with him there. We highly recommend Michael for your pet-sitting needs!!”
About: I have always grown up around animals, having two dogs of my own. I have watched neighbors' dogs and cats consistently for years during their vacations. I love to snuggle all kinds of dogs and would love to help you out with walks, check-ins, or feedings! I currently have a black lab who loves to go hiking and take long walks! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to stop by and play with your pup or go for a walk! I always use a leash when taking dogs out for their safety and the safety of others. I would be more than happy to let them run around a fenced-in yard or play area.
“Mariah is an exceptional sitter! She took care of my shy dog, made him feel comfortable and cared for.She went above and beyond as to collect my package that arrived before I came home(provided I asked ). She is a great sitter,my dog loved her 💗🐕🤗”
About: From the age i was born I've always been around dogs and have owned several. As of right now i own 1 and 2 others. I am currently in the process of becoming a CO and would be delighted to take care of your pups part time as i love animals with a passion. I have a wide back yard where i let my dogs run around as well as taking them out for walks. I like to give them at least a couple hours a day of exercise to keep them healthy. As well as treats for good behavior.
About: A little background on me; I have had 2 dogs in the past 10 years and I have learned a lot from them. I have learned that just like people they all have different personalities. Thanks to them I have met more friends with fur babies. Since, then I have had the pleasure of walking and on occasions boarding all kinds of dogs. I’m available to play with your pup on weekends and week days after 5. On weekends I typically go on morning hikes to start the day off right. I have a large backyard and an energetic puppy who loves to play. He has free range between the kitchen/dining room area and the backyard.
About: Hi! My name is Sherlynn, and I’m a Salinas local with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all types. I’ve grown up around pets and have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even a bunny. I raised my pit bull mix from puppyhood into adulthood, and I currently care for a German Shepherd who I’ve had for over four years. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from calm companions to more active, strong breeds. I enjoy taking pets on safe, enriching walks at local parks and beaches, and I always tailor care to each pet’s needs and routine. Safety and communication are my top priorities. I’m confident handling unexpected situations calmly and responsibly, and I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. I’m open to working with all breeds and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always come first. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am Medical Student at the moment with a part time job trying to pay for school doing Rover as my side hustle! I am willing to work with you on dates & times you need. I do live in house that has a fenced yard. I live less than 1 minute away from a dog park which is so convenient. My neighborhood is calm.
About: I have owned animals of many kinds! From as small as a guinea pig to as big as a horse. Dogs have always been a main source of love and I have almost always had one as a part of my family for as long as I remember. I am patient and kind, and would appreciate the chance to help a family when possible! Pet care will be fitting into my daily life in between family matters. My children are in school from 815AM-5PM as long as nothing comes up or appointments have been made. Caring for pets is more natural than anything. As of now, my family and I care for a guinea pig and fish. We make sure the animals are fed and environments are clean. We are hands on with the guinea pig every day to make sure she has the interaction she needs to stay as healthy as she can.
“Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.”
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds and types of dogs, including catahoula leopard dogs, golden retrievers, labs, yorkies, and hounds, over the past couple of years. The dogs I’ve taken care of range from the ages of 3 months to 13 years. I have also taken care of pups after being neutered, which required extra attention to incision site as well as giving daily medications. I’m currently working full time in San Jose, but am completely available weekends. I also am available early mornings and late evenings. I have in the past worked from home to stay with pups for multiple days in a row. The dogs I have cared for have always been in the client’s home, which have been both indoor and outdoor dogs. I ensure to stay on schedule for the dogs to ensure they are comfortable while their family is away.
About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, I’ve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason I’m able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. I’ve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. I’m also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs I’ve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. I’m a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.
About: I’m 30 years old and have had pets around my whole life. Since I was the reason we got them, I was the main caregiver of our 2 family dogs. The chihuahua lived for a month shy of his 15th birthday and I’m so grateful I was able to care for him on his senior days. Now I own 2 myself, a 8 year old Havanese/Chihuahua mix that Ive had since she was 10 weeks old and a 7 yr old blue nose pit that I’ve had since he was 8 months. They are my world and if I could afford to get more pets I would. But right now being able to love on other people’s pets sounds like a good compromise. Plus I get to make money while being able to hang out and possibly even go on a walk? Absolutely geeked! I have quite a lot of free time and I realized I want to have the freedom to make my own schedule and hang out with what makes me the happiest; four legged creatures. Bonus if they love snuggles. I’m great at following directions to make sure I do everything in my power to have an amazing, smooth experience wether it’s walking or babysitting.
About: I have loved caring for cats and dogs since I was a child. I pride myself on my ability to read animal body language and gain their trust at their own pace. I also have plenty of experience training animals. For example, my cat currently knows how to sit, lay, and spin! I have administered many different kinds of medications to both cats and dogs. My friends and family members also trust me to care for their senior dogs (a chihuahua, a goldendoodle, and a yorkie mix). I’m very attentive and make sure they have everything they need and give them lots of cuddles! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and kittens. I try to always match my energy level to the animal I’m caring for. I’m happy to play, hike, and run around with the more energetic babies and take it slow and cuddle/chill with the lazier or older ones I try my best to give personalized care to each animal, since they’re all unique and have their own little quirks. I also have experience with some skiddish, shy, and unsure animals. I work very hard to make them feel safe and show them the gentleness and care that they deserve. For boarding, there is a wonderful cat in my home. He is playful, but gentle and loves dogs very much. I can only board dogs that are okay with cats, but I’m very confident that I’d be able to do a slow introduction with a dog that has never met a cat before. I’m currently a medical student, but I only have to be on campus for a few hours each week. My partner who lives with me works full time, but she works from home Mondays and Fridays and is happy to help care for animals on those days. Our weekends are entirely free for animal care! Our apartment complex has a fenced-in grassy area that is large enough to accommodate larger dogs. If I’m coming to your home, I’ll make sure your pet’s water bowl is full and that they feel happy and loved.
About: Previous Vet Tech for 4 years & dog sitter for 7 years. I now enjoy caring for pets on the side whenever available! I’ve house sat, baby sat, taken dogs to appointments, been the nurse behind the scenes at appointments, walk em & feed em! I’m currently working part time so when there is extra time in between I like to spend it caring for pets when their owners can’t. I am typically available at random convenient times. I don’t plan on caring for pets in my own home but I have previous experience caring for others in their home from pets to elders to babies.
“Michael was very punctual, considerate, and great with our cat! Our cat is usually so shy. He hides from everyone and everything. But Michael was able to get him to come out of hiding and interact with him, which was just amazing.”
About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
“Sophia did an excellent job replenishing the wet food in my cats' refrigerated feeders. She also topped off the water fountains. Highly recommend her to handle pet care even when you use high tech equipment like me!”
“Gabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 17. Family and friends have trusted me on walking and feeding their pets when they have vacations or are simply just busy:) I’m available all weekends and weekdays to play, feed, bathe, walk, give attention, and babysit if you have any upcoming vacations or urgent emergencies you may have! While you're out of town, I'll make sure your dog feels right at home! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love will keep them happy and well-cared for. 🐾🏠💕
