House Sitting Marina

“Elle is great! Trustworthy, responsible, and communicates great! She spent a lot of time with my dog and he was happy as a clam when I got home! Glad to have found a reliable sitter!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Huskies, so I’ve gotten to know just about every size, personality, and energy level in between! I’ve been actively involved in caring for my family’s pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking within my community since I was 11 years old. As a rescue dog owner myself, I understand that not every dog is outgoing, confident, or immediately comfortable with new people and situations. I have plenty of hands-on experience with timid, anxious, reactive, and quirky dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter their personality or background! I also have lots of experience caring for puppies, so I’m no stranger to the extra attention, patience, and energy that comes with young dogs! From frequent potty breaks and playtime to reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, I’m happy to adapt to your puppy’s needs. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you the peace of mind to feel just as comfortable while you’re away! As a college student, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! My only regular scheduling conflicts are Wednesday evenings and Friday midday, so I’m available most days throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs and routine! I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment through walks, toys, or quality time together. For cats, I’m also happy to take care of litter box cleaning and other daily needs. I always make sure pets are secure and the home is left tidy before leaving. I also prioritize keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing while you’re away! I’m happy to accommodate any additional instructions or preferences to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.

“Jade took the time to get to know Nelli and asked all of the right questions to make sure she understood Nelli’s needs. I came home to a happy, healthy pup who had a great time while I was gone.”

About: I have always dog sat and pet watched because I have always had a love for dogs especially since I was never able to grow up with one myself. My availability is pretty open and flexible. I am a newly retired collegiate athlete so I have a lot of time on my hands now. I treat all the animals I have cared for with love and nurture and am always careful to observe what it seems they need or want.

“Melissa did an excellent job house sitting & taking care of our senior dog Fozzy. He can be particular and we came home to a happy healthy dog after a trip. She sent us many pictures of Fozzy having a great time, and he was so comfortable with her he ate well while we were gone, which is usually a challenge. We will definitely be booking Melissa again the next time we travel!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

“Sophia was amazing. She spent her weekend taking care of our dogs and they really love her that is saying a lot. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Sophia🥰”

“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”

“Sophia is amazing!! She takes such great care of our pup (and home) while we were away. We're so grateful for how attentive, responsive, and caring she is and our pup absolutely adores her :)”

“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.”

About: I've had dogs all my life. I've worked at multiple doggy day cares. My customers from the doggie daycares requested for me to get this app I currently work part-time so I'm available for doggie daycare or whatever you may need for the pups after 2:00 p.m. on the weekdays and weekends to whatever time you need. I will give your pet all my attention talk to them like there a little human. By the end of the day I guarantee me and your dog will be best friends.

“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone who wasn’t family while I was on vacations so I was a bit nervous. However, Arlene was amazing!!! My dog loved her the minute she met her. She sent me daily pics and updates on how she was doing and the things they were up to. Knowing my baby was being so well taken care of allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house (not expected at all but very nice after an exhausting travel day). I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for our future pup sitting needs :)”

“Jeanette was fantastic! She made the whole thing easy and I know both pups appreciated that as much as I did. Lots of update photos and reassuring messages so that I could enjoy myself without worrying. There were 2 very calm and relaxed dogs waiting for me when I got home. We will definitely rebook with Jeanette next time we are in Monterey.”

“How fortunate we were to have Adriana watch or two bOliver, and twinkle. She was with them for a month while we were overseas and took excellent care of them. Oliver needed medication while we were gone, and when we returned, he was looking much better than when we had left. Twinkle is a feisty little girl, but Adriana had her eating out of her hand by the time we returned. In addition to looking after our two pups, Adriana looked after our home and garden and assisted greatly with mail, which was a great relief we have while we were gone for such a long time. Adriana is top-notch. We would love to have her again and if you should be so lucky, we know that you will love her too! She is just the best!”

“I loved Andrea taking care of my cat Billy and the odd menagerie of feral cats that live at my home. She did an outstanding job. She follow the instructions carefully and was able to follow them and feed all the cats and take good care of Billy and the others. She stayed and played with Billy, which he loved. She maintained the litter robot, which is sometimes a challenge. She kept everything clean and took care of them the day I came home so I didn’t have to worry about them. I highly recommend Andrea, she is very conscientious and pays attention to detail and send pics and is really aware of how special our babies are to us and she is very good with cats. I will use her again when I attend my brother’s wedding soon.”

Kristin C.

“She was incredible, she loved my babies, and they loved her even more, and it made it so much easier to leave cause i knew they were in good hands. She even made sure we can home to a clean house!! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

“Flora bonded with my anxious/quirky dog instantly, making me feel at ease. She really knows what she is doing when it comes to sensing what they need! She is smart, kind, thorough and keeps you informed! I came home after one week to a happy and healthy dog and clean home- cleaner than I left it!! She is a very family oriented person…to me that says it all! Will use over and over again!!”

About: What sets me apart from others is the patience I have with the dogs and a sense of what they want to do that day. I’m currently working a part time job but during the day and some night I could do. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and will try my best For my home I make sure they are fed and walked everybody and played with. My clients home if they have to do list do that first then just make sure I give the dog my best attention

“Chris did a fantastic job sitting our dog. He’s a very caring and patient person. He was also very flexible when it came to adjusting his schedule. Our dog Daisy really liked him too :) Looking forward to booking him again.”
