About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one since I was six, and that bond taught me how much care and attention our furry friends really need. I also spent four months volunteering at a shelter as part of a school project, where I learned even more about caring for dogs. That experience only deepened my passion for making sure every pup gets the love and walks they deserve. I’m currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Aside from the occasional golf tournament usually twice a month that’s around 6 days total. I’ll be spending most of my time in Monterey. If you’re heading out of town for a few days, I’d love to help take care of your dog. I’m reliable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding, medications, or walking preferences. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and calm to make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure. I always check for anything that could be unsafe, like open gates or small items they could chew on. I treat every pet like they’re my own giving them lots of attention, a safe environment, and a routine they can rely on.

“Tanya took wonderful care of our little terrier for several days and overnights at her lovely home. Such a relief to find a caring family to house her while we were traveling in Monterey/Pacific Grove/Pebble Beach. Tanya was very communicative sending us updates and photos during her stay. Tanya has a calm and kind demeanor that made Dixie instantly follow her. We especially liked that Tanya was considerate of our concerns and specific needs. We highly recommend Tanya and definitely will board Dixie with her when we return.”


“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”


“Asta was amazing with my dog! I was looking for someone who could care for Sally while I visited home for the holidays, and she was available and happy to help. They went out for walks together, hung out inside, and socialized with Asta's extremely chill dog. She sent photos and videos to update me on what they were up to each day, and I could always reach her while I was on my trip. I'll definitely have Sally stay over again!”

“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”


“Kelly and her wonderful boys provided a great home away from home for our fur baby! We received many updates and pictures, as Kelly is a great communicator & caretaker! Louie went into her arms upon arrival which was a great sign to me. We would use Kelly again without hesitation. It also warmed my heart that she indicated a willingness to welcome Louie again too!”
