Pet Sitting Old Hilltown

“It was our first time using Rover and leaving our kitties gone for so long, so we were really apprehensive. But from the get go, Christie made us feel so at ease and the cats warmed up to her quickly. We loved her updates and pictures (and videos) and her quick responses if there were any questions. She took care of our two as if they were her own ☺️. We will definitely be using in the future when we need another sitter!”

About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family. I love being outside, going to the beach, and taking walks around the coast, so having a pup come along with me makes it even better! At the end of the day, I really just love animals. Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, cared for, and in good hands. 🤍 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they stay on their normal routine, feel comfortable, and receive lots of love and attention while their owners are away. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and behavior to ensure they feel secure and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a clean, attentive, and trustworthy environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of affection, supervision, and patience. I also love keeping pet owners updated with photo and video updates throughout the day so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone, so communication is always a priority for me, and I’m happy to answer questions or accommodate any specific care instructions.

“Samantha was awesome! She was very communicative, gave great updates, asked questions when she had them, and took great care of my two fur babies (cats). I will definitely be requesting her services again.”

“Kaitlynn was great with my cats, she send so many cute pictures and took great care of them for over a week!”

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

About: I have around 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. Family members and neighbors have trusted me with their babies for years, and it’s something that I enjoy as well. I have looked after dogs anywhere from puppies to senior. I know the different needs at each stage of life and am able to provide them! I am currently a full time college student but have time in between classes. I am looking for a part time job with flexible hours and something more rewarding than a retail job. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! Although, I am not offering to take care of pets in my own home as of right now, I can assist with what clients need help with in their homes. Some examples of services I can provide are walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding animals, and mild training such as walking on a leash without pulling or to sit and lay down.

“Alexis is very knowledgable about dogs. She's a natural dog person, she reads their needs very well. I would definitely hire her again”

I stay in shape and specialize with high energy dogs, and can provide the same amount of care to low energy dogs. I love dogs, and miss my dogs back home! I want to help take care of yours! I am a freshman at CSUMB staying on campus with my vehicle, with classes Monday-Thursday. I am available on the weekends at any time in the day, and my mondays are free until 3 pm. I am available early mornings on Wednesday-Thursday, and available after dinner all nights. I am young and active, and have a love for dogs. This is something I enjoy doing, and pay very close attention to pets to ensure safety. I am very energetic, and can match your dogs energy to wear them out , and get them out of the house. At home, I have a very high energy dog and a very low energy dog, and know how to work with a wide range of dogs.

About: For boarding pets successfully I bring organization and attention to detail to the table. I work with all ages, breeds and sizes of dogs, and all types of pets.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and one on one attention I give every pet. I treat your dog or cat like family, not just a job. I also send daily updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to give pets my full attention whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for, just like they would at home. At my home, pets get plenty of love, playtime, and a calm space to relax. I make sure they feel at home with cozy spots to rest and a safe environment to explore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel secure and stress free. I treat every pet like my own, whether I’m in their space or they’re in mine.

About: I’m a third-year Molecular Biology student at CSUMB and a lifelong animal lover. My family has cared for a Havanese, Maltese, German Shepherd, and English Lab, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also grew up riding horses and caring for pet fish, and I currently have a black cat named Salem. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at the Monterey sports center. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day and time needed. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home environment. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, walks, and any special instructions owners provide. Growing up around cats, dogs, horses, and other animals has made me patient and reliable when caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also understand how important trust and communication are, and I’ll always keep owners updated while they’re away.

About: My mother has worked at the SPCA for over 25 years as a pet behavior specialist and has taught me a few tips and tricks along the way. I have volunteered at the shelter since I could walk and have experience working with all forms of pets and personalities! I am currently working from home, so I would love to have some furry friends to keep me company and to go outside on walks! I have experience dog sitting at other clients’ homes and make sure to do daily check-ins and cute photos of their pets to make the client feel as comfortable as possible.

“Last minute call Melissa came the day before to meet Yaya she was great would use her service again and would recommend her”

“We really appreciated Nancy’s reliable cat sitting this holiday weekend. She was consistent and sent regular daily updates. We returned from our travels to 2 very well taken care of cats!”

“Holly did a great job taking care of Teddy (senior dog) and Piggles (pot bellied pig). I hadn't left Teddy alone in years so I was anxious about it. Holly visited 2x a day for an hour each. Teddy was anxious at first but Holly spent time with him and calmed him down. He ate normally which I was worried he wouldn't. Piggles is less needy. Just give her food on time and she's happy. :) Overall, it was a great experience and I would certainly use Holly in the future.”

“Kaitlyn was FANTASTIC with Tillie Jane. We were staying on the peninsula for a month and she was able to meet us all first prior to the multiple dates that we needed help. She was always on time, left us great pictures and notes of Tillie and stayed for the duration. Tillie was always happy when we arrived back home. We are thrilled to have someone to use each time we visit Carmel!”

“Stephanie was a great sitter! She took care of our 2 cats while we were away and did everything that we requested for them. 5/5, would highly recommend! :D”
