Pet Sitting Pebble Beach

“Sara did a great job for their first drop-in engagement with Leo and Phoebe. They followed directions well, including play time, administering medication, feeding, litter box hygiene and sending me updates. They were easy to communicate with and helped to transition Leo to new food and medication while I was out of town. I will be rebooking them. Thanks Sara!”

“Maddi was so sweet and did a great job with our anxious German shepherd. She was a good communicator and checked in throughout. We’d love to have her watch our dog again!”

About: Hello! I am an active PG resident who LOVES animals. I have a job in Carmel that I adore, but I need more dogs/cats in my life! I have a leash-trained cat who traveled the country with me for 2 years, and he’s the light of my life, but I have more love to give. I’ve been professionally/informally caring for animals my entire life. I’ve worked primarily with dogs/cats, but have also lived on several farms around the world where I cared for: donkeys, horses, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens to name a few. Raising a leash-trained cat has been an eye opening experience for me. Because of it, I’m skilled at reading an animal’s emotional state, and am often able to redirect when an unwanted behavior begins brewing. I believe in positive reinforcement, respect, and play! I have experience training both dogs and cats (yes, cats can be trained!) Some unique things I bring to the table: - 20 years of experience caring for cats. I think I’m particularly good at caring for anxious kitties, and smart/active kitties (i.e. ones that LOVE being trained). - I’m an active and strong person. I can pretty much always meet a dog’s energy needs and provide a wide variety of different exercise (rollerskating alongside them, long walks, throwing balls, tug, running around with them). - The main reason I’ve rejoined Rover is because I simply want more animals in my life! I would love to foster dogs, but my current living situation doesn’t allow for that. I LOVE when my friends go away and ask me to care for their pets, but they don’t take enough vacations! ¨̮ I work in Carmel Monday through Friday, from 9-3, so I’m available weekday mornings/evenings, and any time over the weekend! My time is a bit more limited during the week, but on Saturdays and Sundays, I would be more than happy to provide several drop-ins/walks for your pet! As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to keep your babies safe. Because I’ve been walking my cat for the past 6 years, I’ve had to learn how to read his body language, and the body language of the hundreds of dog’s we’ve interacted with. I’m by no means an expert, but I can often tell the difference between nervousness and excitement, stress and comfort, and anxiety and confidence. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement, respecting boundaries, and creating a loving relationship with animals. If your dog loves to constantly play tug, we’ll constantly play tug! If your cat is anxious and needs 30 minutes of playtime in order to feel relaxed around me, that’s what we’ll do! I love learning about an animal’s specific personality, and tailoring the kind of care I provide to exactly what they need!

About: I grew up with animals and took on many responsibilities for taking care of them such as routinely feeding and walking the dog, feeding the cats and cleaning out their litter box, giving them medicine, and keeping them calm during drives to the vet… you name it. I have also pet sat for family friends where they relied on me to take care of their cats (feeding and playing with kittens, keeping their areas clean, etc…) I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your cats/dogs! I am available all throughout the week. I will take the time to make sure your pets are well-fed, exercised, looked after and whatever I can to take care of their well-being! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for pups to play and an easy going Australian shepherd to keep your dog company! I also have a fondness for cats and would love to get to look after a feline friend! I understand some cats want their space and others are more social, all are loved by me! I will make sure all pets are taken care of like they are my own, and that of course involves making sure they have adequate food and water per the owners instructions and plenty of attention!

“Mary has been great with Murphy, my mom’s 10 year old Yorkie. My mom is 88 years old and loves that dog more than anything! She trusts very few people with Murphy, but she raves about how good Mary is with him. She feels comfortable leaving Murphy when Mary is watching him and she will be doing some overnight stays in October! Mary has been wonderful. She is very responsive and thorough. Highly recommend!”

“Haley was a fantastic choice in caring for my cat. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was eating, as change, me going on vaca, can be tough on my kitty. Haley responds quickly to messages and made me feel at ease with pictures and updates!”

“Julia was so accommodating for our last minute requests and she took our puppy for a great day out on the town. She treated him as her own and helped us with socializing him. We will definitely be using her the next time we come back into town.”

About: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.

About: Hello my name is Rubi! I am the owner of two beautiful cats. I have own cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. For all of my life. Giving me the experience of older and younger cats and dogs. From handling young pups and kittens to hand feeding senior cats and dogs. I am available all of sunday-wednesday! I am a Pacific Grove local! my energy is very flexible, I love to go for a long walks and be energetic for the hyper dogs and cats out there! I am also very calm to the approach if I face a timid pet. I love to go over routines as well as getting to know your pet before any alone time so we know everyone is safe and comfortable.

About: Dogs are truly a humans best friend.🥰We enjoy taking them for walks, (helps keep us in shape😁) playtime and just bonding with them. When we needed sitters for our pup years ago, we appreciated our sitter checking in with us. We feel communicating with our neighbors, gives us all peace of mind. So if it’s ok with you, we will send a picture, or video to assure you that your pup is safe and sound. We have more time now, to enjoy God’s creation and do things that bring us real joy. We absolutely love and appreciate the gift of life and enjoy caring for and bonding with all types of animals. Whether at the park, or at the beach, dogs tend to gravitate towards my husband and I. (They obviously feel our ‘love for dogs’ vibe.🥰) We have 4 grand pets we love dearly and look forward to their visits, but when they go home, we love on everyone else’s pets, lol. We decided to start pet sitting again part time, to help fill that void.🫠 We prefer sitting at your home, so your pet feels comfortable and less stressed while you’re away, but we also don’t mind entertaining them at our home for the day. If so, it would be helpful if they’re crate-trained, in case we have to step away for a little while. It is of upmost importance to us, to see that your pet is safe and happy under our care. We love to spoil and treat them as if they were our own, so beware, they tend to not want us to leave.🥰

About: Hi! I'm a Marine Corps Officer currently attending the Naval Postgraduate School and living in Pacific Grove. Caring for others, whether people or pets, has been a core part of my life and career. I've had animals my entire life, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I've taken care of old and young pets all my life! Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a dependable person to keep them safe and comfortable, I take that responsibility seriously. As a military officer for the past five years, I've built my career on discipline, integrity, accountability, and attention to detail. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect clear communication, reliability, and the peace of mind that they will be cared for as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I work hard to earn it. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available before 9:30 am daily except Thursdays! I am also available after 3 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Saturdays be Sundays are all day availability depending on weekend activities! I’ve been in the military for nearly five years and am very courteous of others belongings and homes. I have extremely strong foundations in integrity, honesty, and good characters from this military background and I hope you feel a safe and trustworthy comfort when working with me!

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have had experiences with many dogs with different needs. I have taken care of not only my own, but friends and families dogs for years. I will always be happy to meet a new dog! I am working at an internship right now two days a week and I go to school on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am available any time in the mornings until 3:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.Wednesdays I am available any time and Fridays I am available anytime after 12.I am also available to book any time on the weekends as well. I take care of my 3 dogs. I walk them twice a day, play with them, let them out 3-4 times a day and make sure to give them plenty of attention and treats!

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and now care for one dog and five cats of my own. I'm experienced, patient, and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give mine. I'm in school during the week but free after 3:30 (2:45 on Wednesdays), weekends, and all holidays. Pet care is part of my daily life, so I'll always make time for your furry friend. Your pet's comfort and safety come first with me. I keep a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow routines closely and make sure they feel at home.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer. I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better. I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.

“Very diligent, timely, sent photos during every visit for our two large dogs. We will definitely contact Marianne again for making sitting visits.”
