House Sitting in Pacific Grove

“Wow! If you are looking for the best dog sitter, go with Natalie. We were in town from Houston, Texas attending a corporate event and dinners each night. My little maltipoo is very friendly with people when I am around, but when I leave, she generally just wants to lay down and gets very sad. However, for the first time ever, she was playful and went on several walks with Natalie. Natalie takes the time to focus on the dog and distract her while also observing the dog’s mannerisms to see what the dog prefers to do. When she was walking Lola, she said she noticed when they got close to large groups of people she got a little nervous, so they would walk in the opposite direction until Lola was more at ease. I truly could not have been more happy with a dog sitter. Natalie is one in a million. The very best! I will definitely use her again the next time we are in town.”

“Miriam was attentive to all the instructions. She regularly updated me on Wilson’s well being, sent pictures/videos. And was overall a pleasure to work with.”

“Natalie did a great job looking after our pups. They seemed happy upon our return. Natalie sent us photos and was very conscientious. We will definitely have her back again!”

“I am forever grateful to Cami for the care, love, and companionship she provided to Sawyer in his terminal state. He had a butt that only a blind mother would love and she managed with grace. Even when he mustered up some energy to get into mischief Cami did not judge.”

“Christy was a life saver. Having to attend a funeral on the East Coast , Christy was really accommodating the last-minute nature of my travel. She followed the care instructions of my two dogs, Poly and Pi, to the letter. She sent a few updates every day. She had little treats for them, but checked in to make sure it was ok. She bonded well with both my dogs. With my return flight delayed, Christy made sure that Poly and Pi were comfortable while I arrived late My home was left immaculate, which was much appreciated after a draining trip. I could not have asked for a more reliable sitter.”

“Christine was great with my giant dog Ham who is over 100lbs. She took him on several walks a day and he was a happy boy when I got home. I could tell he misses her. I will definitely use Christine for future pet sitting. She also left my house in great shape.”

About: I've had multiple pets growing up that I took care of including dogs, cats, and fish. Since I currently don't have any pets, I love to spend my time caring for others and making sure they get the care they deserve while their owners are away. I currently work part time and on weekends, so I can stay home during weekdays with your pet or walk them after 5 pm any day of the week I provide any pet I care for with lots of attention, rubs, and playtime. I am reliable, responsible, and respectful. I live close to lots of walking trails and am happy to drive your dog to other areas for a walk if they have a favorite park or are more comfortable on less-crowded trails.

“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of our boys and our home! She gave detailed updates and provided excellent care. Can’t wait to have her back!”

“Michael is so good with our pups. We trust him with our babies and in our home. He is very responsive and reliable. We hope he can always sit for us! Thank you Michael 🙂”

About: I have owned and cared for animals my whole life. Everything from dogs and cats, to rodents, reptiles and rock-pets. I love them all. I started pet sitting when I was 13 and have been providing services like these whenever the opportunity presented itself since. I have a strong caregiving instinct and have always found it easy to emotionally connect with animals. People often comment on my ability to connect with their pets even when their pets struggle connecting with new humans overall. I am experienced in basic training for dogs of all ages and am confident when it comes to setting routine and creating structure during meals, potty, and play time. I am currently unemployed and looking for part-time work. Thankfully this means my schedule is wide open to spend quality time with your little (or not-so-little) ones! I am available during virtually all days and hours of the week currently, and will communicate any changes in this availability in a timely manner so as to not complicate any of your schedules in the process. When in a clients home, I am a big believer in leaving it better than I found it. I will do my best to clean up after myself and your pup (while respecting homeowner's boundaries and comfort level of course). I always conduct myself in the professional and respectful way that I would expect a sitter to do for me!

“Sonia has been working for me for over a year to take my cat outside on a little stroll & to stay an hour in the house to keep my cat company. She is very attentive, friendly, playful, & more. I want the best for my Mowgli & Sonia is the best dog walker.”

“Hannah is great! Wonderful communication and cares well for the pups. A++ and will use again!”

“Mallory was so sweet and our dog loved being with her. She was quick to jump into action when he needed it from an issue I told her about from earlier in the day. I would definitely call on her again!”

“Verna has been an exceptional companion for my dog, Willow. Her genuine love and dedication to dogs have made my experience truly wonderful. Willow and I couldn't be happier with her services. Verna's passion for dogs is evident in every interaction. She's become a trusted friend to Willow. Her reliability and commitment mean I can always count on her to provide the care and attention Willow deserves. Verna is punctual, ensuring that Willow gets the exercise and companionship she needs. She keeps me updated with photos and messages, giving me peace of mind when I'm away. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet with the utmost love and respect, Verna is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of outstanding dog services.”

“Alejandra was very kind and knowledgeable. She took amazing care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for and entertained.”

“"I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! She instantly connected with my dog Steve and I think he likes her more than me lol. She mentioned she could help with some leash training when we met and I was really interested since Steve is kind of crazy. His leash manners have gotten a lot better since they’ve been walking!””

“The best pet sitters. We needed someone to watch our dog with separation anxiety so we could have a night out. They went above and beyond to take care of her even when she was being very difficult. I would not hesitate to leave any animal in their care. Such lovely caring people.”

About: I’ve had experience with pets inside my home with several roommates having had pets in the past. Now that my home is animal free I am eager to increase my pet sitting. My partner is very tall and strong enough to manage any size pet. We love going on walks, playing with toys, and cuddling with pets. I’ve been to pet training classes before and will take diligent note of how to best care for your pet. Being that I work mostly from home I have a lot of flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to care for your pet. My partner and I take daily walks and have plenty of extra time to spend loving on your pet. I understand how stressful it is for your pet to be in a new environment or surrounded by new company so I always do my best to have patience with your pet and give them lots of attention and reassurance. We live in a safe neighborhood and do not have other animals in our home.

“Melissa stayed at our house and watched our cats. She was great, sent us updates and pictures every day. The house looked very nice when we got home. We will definitely be asking her to stay again next time we leave town.”

“Julia, Thank you so much for watching Tandy for us while we had our wedding Reception!! It was so nice to know that we could relax knowing she was in your care and having a great time ?.”
