Highlights
Pet care experience
Snuggles and smiles guaranteed
Hi, I’m Dalene! Since I was a child, I have cared for my furry, feathered, and reptilian friends-those of my neighbors, friends, and clients, and I understand how valuable they are as a precious member of your household. I have experience working with disabled pets, senior pets, and administering medication. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy. I prioritize reading body language, so I can identify if your pet has an illness, or is anxious and stressed, to ensure their safety, health, and happiness. I have past volunteer experience working at the Monterey County SPCA, and worked mainly with the dogs, playing with them, taking them for walks, and evaluating new arrivals for adoption. It was so rewarding when they were adopted! I volunteered at the Monterey zoo, and helped care for monkeys, elephants, ferrets, etc. I have a crazy alligator story I will share with you if you ask! 🫣

Safety, trust & environment
At this time, I only care for pets in your home where they are most comfortable, and I will provide a calm environment where they feel safe, nurtured, and loved. Each pet is unique, and I will care for them accordingly. I will send you photos of your pets throughout the day, to give you peace of mind, so you know they are happy and content. Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to your pets, and I’m aware of other dogs when out on a walk, and making sure doors and gates are closed. I will not have houseguests over. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊
Ratings and reviews
Dalene is an amazing pet sitter and pet person! She has a serene presence about her and my pup, a 6 year old Shihtzu named Bella, responds to her. I trust her with my beloved pet and my home. When you meet her, you will feel instantly confident that your special pet family member will be happy with her!
She left the house very clean and the dogs were well cared for! She took them for walks, sent lots of pictures and she was very easy to work with! We appreciate knowing our dogs were well taken care of
Dalene is our dogs’ fairy godmother! They get so excited when she comes to feed and play with them. She notices everything about their little personalities and quirks and they completely trust her. We are so lucky we found her!
Dalene was amazing! She was very caring towards Toby and very flexible with coming in early and leaving late. Would definitely recommend!
Dalene watched my 5 month old golden retriever, Walter, for a two day period and she was great. She kept my lad active and was in constant contact while I was away. Walter was very content and happy when I came home, which is a sign he had the best companionship with Dalene. I cannot recommend her enough.
Dalene is the best! My Shihtzu, Bella, immediately liked Dalene and sat by her at our meet and greet. Bella was spoiled by her! I recieved timely messages and pictures of Bella enjoying the good life! I highly recommend Dalene and hope you are lucky enough to get her!

Schedule
I am a full time pet sitter, so I’ll have plenty of time for belly rubs, playing fetch, relaxing with your pets, long walks, and making sure their needs are met.
