“Denise took wonderful care for our Standard Poodle with high standards! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to ensure he ate. We will definitely be using her again!!”


“Wanessa and Sergio were great with Dusty while we were away for the week. They kept me updated with pictures and answered all my questions/concerns. We will be coming back to them.”


“Oh my gosh, I cannot express how amazing Marion has been. She has made me feel so secure & relieved & really allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing that Pippa was safe & happy. Words truly cannot express how grateful I am to have found her as a sitter & she will be my #1 moving forward. I received so many awesome photos & updates daily. Not to mention, Pippa is pooped! I know she had an amazing time playing with all the other pups! Thank you so much Marion!!”


“Christina has watched out dog several times in quick succession over the summer. She has been responsive, available, and flexible every time! Luca seems to love it there (and he's a bit hard to please) and is happy to return every time.”



“This was the first time my dog stays in a sitter's home while I went on a 10-day vacation out of the country. I'm very pleased that Jesse and his son Christopher took good care of my dog. We were able to communicate during my trip using the Rover app and also I could see my dog on screen using Skype video call. Thanks to Jesse and his family, now I feel more comfortable leaving my dog behind when I'm out of town.”


“Our pups loved their visit with Shannon! It was one of their first times being left in a new place and they did great! Shannon sent lots of pictures and videos and was wonderful to work with. Completely trusted our dogs with her. Thank you!”


“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”


About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one since I was six, and that bond taught me how much care and attention our furry friends really need. I also spent four months volunteering at a shelter as part of a school project, where I learned even more about caring for dogs. That experience only deepened my passion for making sure every pup gets the love and walks they deserve. I’m currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Aside from the occasional golf tournament usually twice a month that’s around 6 days total. I’ll be spending most of my time in Monterey. If you’re heading out of town for a few days, I’d love to help take care of your dog. I’m reliable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding, medications, or walking preferences. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and calm to make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure. I always check for anything that could be unsafe, like open gates or small items they could chew on. I treat every pet like they’re my own giving them lots of attention, a safe environment, and a routine they can rely on.

“An amazing dog sitter! Left my 13yo dog, Pumpkin, with Asta for a week and she had a great time. I received so many pictures while I was on vacation so I knew Pumpkin was doing well and enjoying her time with Asta and her dog. I can't recommend her enough 😄”


“Tanya took wonderful care of our little mini goldendoodle for several nights. She sent tons of photos and it was clear my girl was well-loved and had lots of opportunities to play outside, play with toys, sleep in various sunny spots, and get some snuggles. Her house has a great location with a yard where Willow could get out her zoomies. Tanya’s dog welcomed our Willow and we received cute pictures of them hanging out together.”


“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”


“Kelly and her wonderful boys provided a great home away from home for our fur baby! We received many updates and pictures, as Kelly is a great communicator & caretaker! Louie went into her arms upon arrival which was a great sign to me. We would use Kelly again without hesitation. It also warmed my heart that she indicated a willingness to welcome Louie again too!”


“Celine is excellent! Duke Johnson is a big boy, and some people would be hesitant to take care of him. Not Celine. She was patient with him (Duke can be a little needy). She took him on plenty of walks, getting him the fresh air and exercise he needed. She also sent pictures, communicating enough that I felt updated on how Duke was doing, but not so much that I felt annoyed. Duke was obviously very happy spending time with her, and I would definitely book her again without hesitation. I would absolutely recommend booking Celine if you need someone to look after your pet! 🐾”


“Fantastic experience! It was so nice to know that Olive was happy and well cared for while I was away! Emily sent some of the cutest photos of her playing and out on fun adventures. I felt so comfortable with Emily and her home is set up for dogs to be secure and to have space to run and play. I will definitely have my dog cared for by Emily again!”


“Abby kept our chihuahua, Buttercup, while my family took an extra long vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos and updates from Abby which kept us from worrying about Buttercup. We enjoyed our vacation knowing she was being well taken care of. Abby went above and beyond to make Buttercup feel at home.”
