About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.

“Jessica is so sweet, she connected with Jaspie quickly. Took him to the beach and was sweet to honor my request for beach pics! The pics were amazing! And I can tell by Jaspie's expressions he loves her!! Totally recommend her!”


“Emma is wonderful! She watched our cat Chip while we were away for thanksgiving. She was responsive and kept us up to date with photos on how Chip was doing. Looking forward to using Emma again!”


“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”


About: Hi! I’m Gia, and I’ve spent the past 4 years on and off caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, bunnies, and everything in between. From daily walks and feedings to administering meds and giving lots of love, I treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in good hands, and I’m here to give them comfort, care, and attention while you’re away. I work full-time in the mornings, which leaves my afternoons, evenings, and weekends open for pet care! I’m reliable, experienced, and love giving pets the attention and comfort they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a feeding, or overnight care, your pet will be treated like family. In Your Home: I treat your space with respect and your pet like family. I maintain their routine, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether it’s walks, play, or quiet companionship, your pet gets consistent, attentive care every visit.

“The lovely Jeanette was able to fit us in her schedule last minute and took excellent care of all 3 of our fur babies. I absolutely recommend, such a sweet caring person.”


“Mari was fantastic with my older dog TJ who takes meds and has to be coaxed to eat. She took him to his hydration sessions at the vet as well. My younger terrier who can be shy and skittish took to her and now obviously according to the pictures we received considers her a pal. We were able to take a much needed break from the caretaking duties associated with TJ and enjoy our vacation. Thank you Mari!”


“We are very satisfied with the care that Nicole gave our pets! We booked a last minute trip and reached out to Nicole to stay in our home with our cat and dog. She was quick to respond and came for a meet and greet the next day. While we were away she took great care of our animals and home and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future!”


“We have three dogs and a bunny. Carly is great. She stayed with my babies over the weekend. She took the big boys on runs, cuddled with with all the pups and even played with the rabbit. My dogs were so happy when I got home. It is so comforting knowing my dogs were so well taken care of while away.”


About: I’ve had a dog as part of the family for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for my own childhood outside country dogs to indoor pampered pups of my own. I’d love to help provide care to your pups as well as peace of mind knowing they’ll be loved just as much as you do. My schedule is pretty flexible as a stay at home mom. I get out frequently for walks with my own pup and am happy to bring her along for play or keep my individual undivided attention on your pups. Having dogs of my own I’m used to crating dogs and letting them out for play and walks. I’m happy to accommodate any needs you may have that will better help care for your pet.

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.

“Deborah took fantastic care of our two dogs! She was great with both our senior dog and young super energetic pup. She gave detailed updates, and put our minds at ease on our first time leaving our pups with a non family member. We would definitely use her again!”
