House Sitting in Greenfield

“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!”

About: Im currently in Graduate school online so when I will have lots of time to spend with your pet. I am also very experienced with animals as I have had dogs and cats all my life, I've also volunteered at the SPCA so I have some professional experience as well. I am very open to discussing schedules and am very flexible as my classes are online with no set time. Feel free to reach out to discuss what works best for you. Your pets safety is of the utmost importance and I will make sure they are properly looked after and stay vigilant of any possible dangers.

About: I have always loved pets! Unfortunately, because of my living situation, I cannot have pets other than my cutie guinea pig. I’d love to take care of your furry baby! I work Tuesday-Saturday from 9-5pm, so I can fit pet care into Sundays and Mondays. I am also available for afternoon walks! Message me with any questions. I am very respectful to you and your pet. I value the lives of our furry companions, so please know your pet is safe with me.

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. If your dog has reactivity or specific sensitivities, I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I appreciate transparency about triggers, habits, and anything I should be aware of. The more I understand your dog, the better I can care for them. I have intermediate experience with e-collars and am comfortable using them as my Aussie wears a Dogtra. As for updates, I’m flexible. Some owners like frequent photos and check-ins, others prefer a simple message. I’m happy to match your comfort level. At the end of the day, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. They’re family to me, and I care for them with that same mindset. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so my availability is mainly on weekends or for evening walks after 6 PM. However, I can easily accommodate morning, lunch, or evening check-ins since I work in town and have long lunch breaks. As a pet owner myself, I prefer to schedule bookings a few days in advance to ensure I can meet my pets’ needs before caring for yours. That said, my commitment to my own pets reflects the same love and dedication I will provide to yours, giving you peace of mind that they are in caring hands. On weekends, I’m happy to offer extended walks, multiple visits, or extended in-home play. All in-home care will need to be provided at each pet’s home as I do not have a yard. For your peace of mind, I can provide photos upon checking in and checking out

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 :)

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 a Autism Behavior Technician for Salinas District in Salinas, M-F. My schedule is pretty flexible as I also dont work weekends so if needed I can sit. 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.

“All I can say that you can trust your fur baby to Valery without any hesitation. Our 6 years old Samoyed Ponchik loved her very much. She always was on top of it to send us videos and photos while we were away. Spoiled our baby :))) with love and treats. We'll definitely will use her help in the future as well. Thank you for everything Valery.”

“Provided consistent communication and updates.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was 5, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with all breeds and have plenty of informal pet-sitting experience through family and friends. As a remote professional, I’m home most of the day, so your pet will never feel alone. My environment is calm, playful, and full of cuddles (and walks!). I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around animals—it brings me joy to care for them, walk them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary professional with 6.5 years of experience in animal medicine, including 2 years in emergency and specialty care. Animals are my life and my career — I genuinely love what I do. Whether your pet needs medication administered, has special medical needs, or just needs lots of love while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I’m communicative, reliable, and will keep you updated every step of the way so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I’m regularly available Saturday through Monday each week, making me a great option for weekend getaways, short trips, and Monday holiday travel. I work in veterinary emergency medicine during the week so my schedule is consistent and reliable — when I’m available for your pet, they have my full attention. Please note that I occasionally pick up Saturday shifts at the hospital, so I recommend reaching out a week or two in advance for weekend bookings so I can confirm my availability. I always communicate promptly and will never leave you without plenty of notice. When I’m in your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I always follow your instructions carefully — feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, behavioral quirks — nothing gets overlooked. I’ve spent 6.5 years in veterinary medicine learning that every animal is an individual, and I bring that same attentive, personalized approach to every visit and stay. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet is fed, watered, exercised, and given plenty of genuine attention — not just a quick check in and out. During house sitting stays I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet as if they were my own patient. I maintain their routine as closely as possible so they experience minimal stress in your absence. As an emergency and specialty veterinary professional I’m also trained to recognize early warning signs of illness or distress that most pet sitters wouldn’t notice — changes in breathing, appetite, behavior, mobility, or energy levels. If anything seems off I will contact you immediately and if necessary can coordinate directly with your veterinarian given my medical background. I send photo and video updates throughout every visit and stay so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. I know how hard it is to leave your animal behind — my goal is to make that as easy as possible for both of you.

“Mari looked after my dog Freckles when we came down to Monterey to attend the Big Sur trail run. She was professional, on time and a great communicator who took good care of my baby ❤️”

“Jaharrah was great!! She was very attentive to my cat and was great at communicating with texts and photos. She also left the house clean and in great shape.”

“Emily was AMAZING with our two dogs! Señor and Benji were not only properly cared for, but were loved and given lots of attention while we’re were away. Emily took care of our dogs and our home for 5 days and we cannot say enough about how happy we are with her! She sent pics of the dogs and even let our crazy chihuahua steal her blanket when he had 4 of his own! What a kind person, we feel so lucky to have met her through Rover and will definitely have her back when we need the boys to be cared for again!!”

About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have a few years of experience in caring for animals such as dogs, cats, birds, fish, horses, and many more. I have taken care of some of my family's pets in the past. I was in charge of feeding, bathing, cleaning, and walking them until their owners arrived back home. The primary way that pet care fits into my daily routine is that I have pets of my own that I am responsible for taking care of. I have two dogs, that I have to feed, clean up after and walk daily. Here are a few ways I take care of my own pets: - I feed them in the morning when I wake up around six am - I play fetch with both of my dogs during the afternoon - Then I feed them dinner around six pm before I get ready to rest in my bed - If they need to be groomed I will put them in the tub

About: I bring professional animal care experience along with a lifetime of hands on ownership. I worked for several years at the San Francisco Zoo in the Animal Resource Center, where I provided daily husbandry, enrichment, feeding, and habitat maintenance for a wide range of species including small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My role required close observation, detailed record keeping, and a strong understanding of animal behavior and welfare standards. I also worked for several years at a dog training facility, where I assisted with obedience training, enrichment programs, agility work, and behavioral support. This experience strengthened my skills in reading body language, reinforcing positive behaviors, and managing dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. In addition to my professional background, I have personally owned and cared for many small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. I am comfortable managing specialized diets, enclosure cleaning, humidity and temperature control, and enrichment that supports natural behaviors. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, structured approach to training and care, and ability to confidently handle a wide range of species. I am currently in school at CSUMB and I tend to take evening classes. I am available most mornings throughout the week barring Wednesdays and fully available on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow the routines you provide as closely as possible so your pet experiences consistency while you are away. I pay close attention to body language, appetite, bathroom habits, and overall behavior, and I communicate clearly with updates so you feel informed and confident. In your home, I respect your space and maintain a calm, structured environment. I follow feeding instructions precisely, secure doors and gates, and ensure all enclosures or crates are properly maintained. For dogs, I use safe leash handling practices and reinforce positive behaviors during walks and play. For small animals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians, I carefully monitor temperature, humidity, and enclosure security.

About: I've have taken care of two dogs, A bunny and strays for years. Im now ready to take my services further and help animals stay safe while owners are away. I live in Salinas with my girlfriend I work early in the morning and she works later in the day so together we make a great team ensure animals stay on schedule and have 24/7 surveillance. In my home I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision. Pets have access to fresh water at all times, scheduled feedings, and a comfortable place to rest a day I follow each pet’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Also maintain a calm, structured environment to help pets feel secure and reduce stress. In a clients’ homes i ensure to respect and follow the pet’s established routine and house rules exactly as instructed, provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and mental stimulation. Also keep the home tidy, wipe paws if needed, and make sure everything is securely locked before I leave.

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have taken care of livestock cats dogs all my life I like animals more than people for sure I’m a morning person so I like to get out early and feed an exercise and then come back late afternoon early evening to feed again When I bring animals to my house. They’re welcome as a member of the family and can jump on the furniture or the bed just like my animals do
