Cat Sitting in Monterey

“First time having Denise watch after my kitty who hadn't spent a night apart from me in 2 years, so I was concerned how it would go. But it seems Denise bonded quickly with my kitty and sent me photos during every visit which was much appreciated.”

“Andrea was amazing! She’s quite the dog whisperer because my usually timid pup warmed up to her so fast. She sent me lots of pics and detailed descriptions of how the visits went which made me feel like my dog was well taken care of. I can also tell Andrea has experience with animals if my rescue dog is asking for belly scratches in the pictures! She was on time every time and followed the notes I gave her to a t. Definitely would book with Andrea again!”

“Valeriya did a wonderful job and was extremely professional and accommodating while looking after our pet over the holidays. We were extremely grateful for her and would definitely book again!”

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will diligently follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and do my best to help them feel comfortable and loved.

“Elizabeth was fantastic and great with communication! I appreciated her approach to making new clients feel comfortable with her! She did great with my shy cat too! I would recommend her any day :)”

About: Longtime, trusted petsitter for neighbors and friends, with extensive volunteer experience including lead dog walker at a local shelter and rescue transporter. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and genuinely love building connections with each pet. Available for walks, overnight care, and drop-ins. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work full-time during the week but have evening availability on Thursdays and Fridays, with open availability on weekends. I can accommodate drop-in visits during weekday lunch hours in the Oldtown/Downtown Monterey area. Please message me with any questions about availability or scheduling. I love taking dogs for neighborhood walks with plenty of time for sniffing, playing with their favorite toys, giving lots of affection and belly rubs, and simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, routines, or care requirements.

About: I grew up with family dogs and took on the responsibility of helping train our puppies from a young age. My experience grew as I took on part time sitting jobs for friends and family and have loved getting to spend time with all of the animals under my watch. If you have a high energy dog in need of walks or runs, I'm more than happy to provide that sort of energy! I have a very flexible schedule that can allow me to watch, feed, and keep your pet company throughout the week days and most weekends. I will be able to come and watch your pet in the comfort of their own home and take them out to play and for walks if requested!

“Natalie is great! She took care of my cat when I was out of town for the week. My cat is skittish and hides under the bed when people are around, so I didn't expect too much socializing, but Natalie took the time to hang out with her and make her feel a little more comfortable. Natalie was also communicative. All around awesome!”

About: Let me tell you why I would be the perfect fit to take care of your beloved pets. First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals. From a young age, I've had a deep connection with them and understand their needs and emotions. Whether it's playing fetch with energetic dogs or snuggling up with a shy cat, I am adept at handling all kinds of pets. Furthermore, I have years of experience as a pet sitter, ensuring that your pets will be in safe hands while you're away. I am responsible, reliable, and committed to providing top-notch care for your animals. Additionally, my flexible schedule allows me to devote ample time to giving each pet individual attention and affection. With me as your pet sitter, you can enjoy your time away knowing that your furry family members are receiving the love and care they deserve! I am a freelance artist, writer and mama of 2 cats. I am always making sure my cats are well taken care of, and so loved. I am very flexible in my schedule, I have full availability after 11am everyday. I treat my cats like they are my children, which means that they are a high priority in me and my fiance's life. Every petsitting job I have, I treat my client's pets just the same.

“She was great! My cat was very happy and well taken care of. She was great with communication and very nice.”

“Jade went above and beyond helping out our dog! Jade made sure that our dog had some extra love after he started missing us while we were gone and developed some stomach problems. Highly recommended!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my experience. I have a lot of experience in training puppies, including potty training and simple commands such as sitting. I have cared for two dogs, a large mixed breed for eleven years and a chihuahua beagle for four. In addition to caring for my dogs, I have also simultaneously dog-sat for friends and neighbors, taking on responsibilities such as walking them and administering medicine. I have experience with energetic and large dogs (my neighbor's labradors in particular), and I can keep them close despite their strength and energy. As I am taking college courses starting August 26th, I will be unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays until 3:45 p.m. However, my schedule is otherwise flexible, and I am usually completely free after this. Additionally, I am free between 10:00 a.m. and 8/9:00 p.m. the rest of the week. I try to prioritize the dog's necessities and comfort. I feed them on a consistent schedule (twice per day), take them on long or short walks four times a day, and play games such as tug-of-war or fetch, weather allowing. I keep dogs cool by playing games indoors, especially during the hot afternoon's summer months.

“Shannon did a great job feeding our kitties and spending time with them. I felt at ease meeting Shannon, she has a friendly and sweet demeanor. I will be asking her in the future to watch our cats for sure.”

About: I’ve cared for friends and neighbors’ pets throughout the years. I also have experience working with the SPCA as a volunteer. I am a responsible sitter who can walk, bathe, feed, play with, and tend to your pet! *the one thing I can not do is administer medication via injection!* Please reach out to me and we can find a schedule that works! Please refer to my posting for a general idea- walks and drop in visits are best for me because I am a college student :)) I am respectful of your space and attentive to your pets’ needs. Depending on your pet’s personality, I can adapt to their behavior and needs to give them the best experience possible!

“Jeanette goes above and beyond with her care! She tailors her services to the individual pet and makes them feel at home while you’re away. So grateful to have her care!”

About: I’ve worked with animals almost my entire life from dogs and cats to horses, goats, and chickens. I worked teaching kids how to handle animals for many years. I have three dogs, two small elderly mutts and a 3 year old German Shepard/malinois. I’ve dog sat for family friends for up to 3 weeks at a time. I love working with animals and it’s been a passion of mine for years. I’m extremely flexible and can work with any schedule. I’m in college and do mostly online classes. I can conform to any set schedule your pets already on. My childhood dog has anxiety so I’m used to taking care of anxious, clingy, and high energy dogs. I have experience with a wide variety of cats as well. My main priority is your animal(s) comfort.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. I have a wide range of experience across many breeds. My wife is a vetrinary technician, our family is very knowledgable and encourages all types of pets. I am currently on parental leave and my schedule is highly flexible. Willing to accomadate a wide range of schedules and requests. Mornings and afternoons work best for me! I am more than happy to help with any house sitting tasks or requests. I have 2 dogs of my own (a golden retriever and a minature dachshund)that would be more than happy to keep your dogs company on walks!
