House Sitting in Hacienda Carmel

“Javier is very responsible and communicative. He watched my dog for a night and he did everything correct. My dog loved him and enjoyed being near him as I could see from the photos he sent me. I definitely recommend Javier!”

“Mallory was an excellent dog sitter. She was prompt, communicated when needed and left the house very clean. My dog seemed very happy. Highly recommended.”

Karen A.

“Flexible with our requests and attentive to all pets, experienced with geriatric pets needing extra care. The cats who are normally very shy took to her right away and the dogs loved her! Will always rebook.”

“We are very satisfied with the care that Nicole gave our pets! We booked a last minute trip and reached out to Nicole to stay in our home with our cat and dog. She was quick to respond and came for a meet and greet the next day. While we were away she took great care of our animals and home and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future!”

“Natalie was on time and came prepared with treats and balls (since Barley's favorite sport is balls). She walked and played with Barley and kept us abreast of our little one with pictures throughout the time we were away. We had Natalie for only four hours. If we ever get back to the area and need a dog sitter, we would definitely book her again.”

“This is our second time booking with Marianne and she is absolutely wonderful! I know my babies and home are safe with her while I'm away. Don't hesitate to reach out to her, your littles will be so happy. Thanks, Marianne for all you do!”

“We hired Lauren to watch our three pups in our home. One of our dogs is a senior with advanced Cushing's Disease and is diabetic. It's been so long since we were able to get away and enjoy ourselves for an extended period of time because of Baxter's medical issues. We needed someone to come and stay in our home and have the knowledge and ability to respond to his medical needs as well as meet the needs of our other two pups. Lauren did all of that for us. She's a professional through and through, wonderful personality and incredibly flexible with us. It's such a relief to know our pets are in her hands so we can enjoy our time away. We feel so lucky to have found her! She's the best!”

About: New to this site yet for friends and employers, I've done housesitting and pet sitting for years. I've been vetted, background checked and currently on another popular sitting site. I've just relocated back to the area of Monterey, California where I grew up. I love to be out hiking and walking so if your pet needs exercise and the peace that comes with it, I'm your gal! I usually take myself out walking twice a day. Unless your animal needs special care and can't be active, I believe pets should be active because it makes them feel better, same as us. I'm flexible in my work and don't have the sort of hours that would keep me away from your pet for too long. Regular feeding, bathroom breaks, playing and petting are my top priorities. I do a lot of photography and photos of animals are one of my faves. Your pet could be the next Lassie! Safety is also a top priority. I can either drop in on your pet or do overnight stays, weekly stays, etc. I keep pets safe, doors and windows locked, and the place exactly as you left it. I've traveled for years using Airbnb and have great reviews here for you to peruse – thank you hosts!

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals over the past 15 years. At home, I’ve had ducks, chickens, dogs, cats, and rabbits. I can provide services like walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I’m a full time student, and I’m willing to help with pet sitting and more over breaks mostly. If needed, I can help while in school. I bounce around from Carmel, San Luis Obispo, and San Jose. I can help in any of these places depending on my availability. I have a high fence around my house. If needed, I can crate the dog at night. I have excess to a car and can come over to help at a client’s home.

About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!

“Truly exceptional in every way! We were pretty nervous about using rover for in-house sitting for the first time but Alexis made us feel so comfortable and made everything seamless. Most importantly, Bucky loved her right away and he is an excellent judge of character ☺️. Alexis sent lots of photos and even video updates so we knew he was doing great and being well cared for every day. It takes a special person to take on a very large dog in a new space and Alexis was everything we could hope for in a sitter. And she left our home looking perfect too! So grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kind, considerate, and extremely competent sitter for their fur baby.”

“Excellent job. My Rick was happy, healthy and calm and did not appear to have missed me at all, LOL. Mary left everything in tidy order and communicated when she had questions. She followed the care instructions and improvised skillfully - I appreciate her providing great care of my Rick🤗”

While staying in your home, I will respect the boundaries you have set in place for your pet, being extra careful around doors and fences, and taking all steps to make sure your animal has a safe experience with me. While out in public, I will make sure your pet’s space is respected.

“Raylene is fantastic. She came to our house before booking to meet Bear and we were impressed with her commitment, experience and questions. She followed up a few days before our departure and then let us know she arrived the day we left. Raylene sent lots of pictures during her nine day stay and it was clear Bear was in good hands. She also handled the little house details and everything was exactly as we left it. Bear is an older lab and Raylene took such good care of him. We’ll definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“Jenna was wonderful. She had the very challenging task of watching our 4 month old golden doddle. Jenna was great with keeping Molly busy with walks and play. She is a 5 start sitter, and a wonderful person with a kind and loving heart. Please do not hesitate in using Jenna, as she is a such a professional and caring dog sitter!!”

“Sonia did a great job caring for our two dogs! She communicated regularly and ensured the girls had everything they needed while we were away. We appreciate her help!”

About: I’ve had a dog as part of the family for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for my own childhood outside country dogs to indoor pampered pups of my own. I’d love to help provide care to your pups as well as peace of mind knowing they’ll be loved just as much as you do. My schedule is pretty flexible as a stay at home mom. I get out frequently for walks with my own pup and am happy to bring her along for play or keep my individual undivided attention on your pups. Having dogs of my own I’m used to crating dogs and letting them out for play and walks. I’m happy to accommodate any needs you may have that will better help care for your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Gia, and I’ve spent the past 4 years on and off caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, bunnies, and everything in between. From daily walks and feedings to administering meds and giving lots of love, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in good hands, and I’m here to give them comfort, care, and attention while you’re away. I work full-time in the mornings, which leaves my afternoons, evenings, and weekends open for pet care! I’m reliable, experienced, and love giving pets the attention and comfort they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or overnight care, your pet will be treated like family. In Your Home: I treat your space with respect and your pet like family. I maintain their routine, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether it’s walks, play, or quiet companionship, your pet gets consistent, attentive care every visit.
