House Sitting in Hacienda Carmel

“We really appreciate all the care that Lisbeth gave our boy during our absence. She was great in communication and sent us tons of photos and videos. If you need responsive and trustworthy care for your fur babies , you can trust Lisbeth 1000%. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ponchik.”

“Laura was a great help! She was able to work from our house and watch our puppy during the day so we didn’t have to crate her or worry about her getting into trouble. We would 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.”

“Megan took great care of our French Bulldog and Pomeranian while we were away for 4 days, taking them for long walks and to the beach. We came home to a clean house and Megan even did a load of laundry. Very responsible. Good communicator. And obviously loves dogs. Will absolutely call on Megan first next time we leave our dogs.”

“This was our first experience with Arlene and it was perfect. Doggies got to go on a road trip to escape the heat of our house. She kept us updated which was nice especially since we unknowingly picked the hottest weekend in a long to time to go away. We already have plans for future bookings.”

“Simply put, Valeriya was amazing. She exceeded all our expectations and we could not have imagined a better experience. Valeriya took care of our 8-year old Aussie Doodle Noodles, sitting for him in our home, taking care of our house as well, for a little more than a month. It was our first ever long duration trip leaving Noodles at home, and we were anxious to say the least. At the meet and greet, Valeriya suggested a series of "get-to-know Noodles" activities to ensure her arrival for the sit was well met and comfortable. She asked us to prepare thorough directions, including items we would not have thought to include without her tremendous input. During the stay, she communicated daily with us about Noodles, his activities, eating, general health and well being, providing photos and live videos of their time together. We had weekly video calls with her and Noodles. She contacted us whenever anything unexpected, however small, came up. But most importantly, her professional, courteous approach with us was matched only by her genuine affection and care for Noodles, who took to her immediately. The bond between Valeriya and Noodles reflected in her videos, her smiles, and his smiles and genuine enthusiasm for her and all their activities throughout her care for Noodles. We did not worry about his well-being for one second. Valeriya is the "Mary Poppins" of pet sitters -- we literally could not have conceived how perfect a fit she would be for Noodles and for us. She is invaluable, words cannot express our gratitude to her, or the affection she shared with Noodles throughout her extended stay with him in our home. We are looking forward to a long term relationship with her for all our pet sitting needs. She is, succinctly, beyond great -- she is the very best, and the standard for pet sitting should be based on every aspect of her service. With eternal gratitude to Valeriya, we remain over the top for her kind, courteous, loving care for Noodles and our home.”

“Dogs were happy and the house was nice and clean when we returned. Marianne was professional and not phased at all by our two large breed rambunctious dogs. We felt at ease in our vacation due to Marianne providing updates and photos of the dogs chilling and having fun.”

About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel. I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals I have and host. During the week, I work part-time from home, and I am active throughout the day. I typically take morning, midday, and evening walks with my dog(s) and allow them to have free roam in the house and yard. I can offer flexibility to meet your pet's needs at my home or in yours. My home is pet-friendly, accommodating, and safe. I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas, and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.

“Christine did a great job managing our two high-anxiety Vizslas. She house sat with them for us while we were going to lunch and a jazz show, and treated them with mucho love and playtime. She sent us photos and videos, took them for a couple of walks, and we could tell she really enjoys her time with pets. We will definitely hire Christine again next time we are in Carmel and recommend her if you want a well-trained and loving sitter!”

“Madeline was great! It was a tough weather day but she got Scout outside inbetween the raindrops and kept him occupied the rest of the day. She kept us well-informed of how Scout was doing. We will be happy to have Madeline petsitting Scout again!”
