Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover in Monterey
**I am temporarily not taking one-time clients or large dogs while my dog undergoes cancer treatment. I AM accepting new boarding clients for locals!** I grew up with German Shepherds and pugs, and have over 20 years of experience with all breeds, from tiny to huge! I learned the importance of basic training very early, as we always had large dogs for family security. I try to only take one dog at a time (unless they are siblings of course!) so they have my undivided attention and are treated like a member of my family. My Bernese Mountain Dog, Gertie, is almost 10, and is a great help with other dogs. She knows many commands, can walk off-leash, and is friendly and respectful.

Thanks so much for the awesome communication and for taking such good care of Porkchop!!

Wow, best house-pup-sitter ever! Emily took was amazing with our big Berner and made us feel so safe and comfortable having him in her care. She also left our house spotless 🤩. Communicative, caring, considerate, competent - who could ask for anything more?

Emily took amazing care of Bear and was happy the whole time. Emily was very responsive and incredibly easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Monterey area.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My pups felt so comfortable and happy from the moment they arrived. Having free access to the backyard was such a treat for them - they had the best time! Honestly, I was a little afraid they wouldn’t want to come home 😊 we can’t wait to book again and are so grateful for the wonderful care and love. Thank you Emily!!!
Emily was super kind, communicative and flexible. Gertie was a perfect companion for my timid Brittany. She shared her toys and everything. Thank you Emily!

Coconut had a great stay with Emily. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures. Great communication and would book again!

Schedule
I currently work from home, so I am home most days. I have a large, fenced yard with two walkways that are also both fenced, and live next door to a big, dog-friendly park. Boarding is my most popular service, and I enjoy really getting to know your pup.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will have constant access to my yard, home, water, sofa, and beds during their stay. I will never be away from the house for more than an hour or two to run errands (and I usually just take them with me!).
Pets
A typical day
We usually start the day with some outside time and tug or fetch. Around midday I take whoever is here for either a solo or paired walk (depending on the dog’s personality and needs). After coming home and winding down, we may go to the beach for sunset or play in the yard some more before bed!
Prices include all fees.
