Pet Sitting Pescadero

“Bennett is an amazing pet sitter and always pays a lot of attention to Starlight, my cat. She is always happy to see Bennett and is well taken care of. Thanks!”

“Tillana is a wonderful cat sitter! She’s very experienced. She knows how to engage our senior citizen cats and keep them happy. She’s also great at giving medicine and making it easy for the cat. We love all the photos she sends and the extremely detailed reports of how the kitties are doing, what they’re up to, and if she noticed anything different. Tillana goes above and beyond to care for our cats, keeping their litter box super clean, and deep cleaning their water fountain. She also just has a great “cat sense”. She knows when a cat wants attention or quiet time, and if they want to play or just be carried around and watch the birds. We’re so lucky to have Tillana as our cat sitter and we gladly put our full trust in her to take care of our kitties.”

“First time booking Esmeralda to drop-in on our cats and she was great! She was very punctual and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We loved receiving photos from her at each visit. We will definitely be returning to Esmeralda the next time we are away.”

About: I have grown up my whole life with big dogs in the house, and have been watching (and loving) dogs for around a decade. Whether walking and watching my own, neighbors, or family friends- I have gained a lot of experience over the years. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, dogs with disabilities, and puppies over the age of 11 months (including untrained). I have experience with overnight house-sitting for up to 4 animals at a time, and dogs with disabilities (as my eldest dog (Maverick) is blind in one eye). Back when I was in middle school I had two yellow labs: Barney & Zoey, and now have 2 yellow labs Maverick (13) & Indy (4). Since my family has always rescued our dogs, sometimes this can come with dogs from situations that have left them with lasting anxiety or behavioral issues. From this, I have learned so much in regards to building trust with dogs, respecting their boundaries, and establishing a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my free time I am a marathon runner, yoga sculpt instructor, and love to hike- so I am always super hyped for a long walk, and getting my steps in with a furry friend! I am super flexible on last minute bookings on weekends, and am available for drop-ins and house sittings when needed! Currently I am a full time student, but I have availability all weekends, MWF from 9-10am, 11-1pm, and all hours after 3:30pm and flexible on T/Th! I also am available in the early morning from 5-8am for a walk or drop-in for all days. Hi! My name is Mila, and I am a third year Undergraduate student in the Bay Area currently studying Economics and Real Estate at Santa Clara University. I am super flexible on means of transportation whether that be a trip to a dog park, a certain park/hike that is your dog's fav, or your own backyard! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or requests within the environment, allergies or preferences for your dogs- making sure they are happy and comfortable is always my priority! (:

“Deb has been taking care of our cats while we travel for the past two years. She is the best and I would recommend Deb to any fur baby pawrents!”

“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that with Shannon, your pets will be in great hands. She was absolutely wonderful with out kitties! Not only she carefully followed all our instructions, she truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable and happy. Throughout our time away, she was in regular contact with us providing thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties, and of course lots of photos. She was also flexible with her time, for example when one of our kitties required extra attention. It was a great relief to know that our kitties are well taken care of, so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Shannon and would not hesitate to hire her to look after our pets in the future.”

“Darya was wonderful with my two cats. She visited daily and posted photos and notes. I would definitely hire her again next time.”

About: Hi! I am a pet lover who would love to help out owners of furry friends. I have dog walked and pet sat cats and dogs for over 5 years. I’m a college student, home for the summer, so I have time all throughout the day and week. I’d be happy to help whenever needed! I make sure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and entertained by paying close attention to their cues and the messages they send through their actions. I have been pet sitting for my neighbors, friends, etc. for over 5 years and have a dog of my own so I have seen it all!

“Ulysses took care of my kitties for several days. When I got home they were calm and fed. I could tell that they had been well cared for. Everything looked great and he even took out the trash for pickup. I will use his services again.”

About: With 10 years of dog care experience, I’ve mastered the art of keeping pups happy, healthy, and tail-wagging! From daily exercise and play to personalized care, I understand every dog's unique needs. Whether it's a puppy, an active adult, or a senior dog, I provide expert care that ensures your furry friend feels loved and well-cared-for—giving you peace of mind while you're away! I’m available 7 days a week to provide top-quality pet care and pet sitting, making your furry friends my full-time priority. With years of experience, I ensure each pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve, no matter the day or time. I understand the importance of reliability, so I always respect your schedule and your time, making sure that I’m there exactly when needed. Whether it’s daily care, overnight sitting, or just a check-in, you can count on me to give your pets the best care, every time! When caring for pets in my home or your home, I tailor the care to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would with their owner. **In my home**: * I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and interaction. I keep their routine as close to what they’re used to, including meal times, exercise, and any special needs they may have. I provide supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and of course, lots of cuddles. If they’re staying overnight, I make sure they have a safe, quiet space to sleep and rest, while offering the same attention and care they'd get at home. **In your home**: * I follow the pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s walking, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll respect your home’s rules and your pet’s personal space, making sure they feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings. Whether it's playtime, administering medications, or just giving them affection, I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Ultimately, I provide personalized, loving care that reflects your pet’s individual needs and routine, whether they’re in my home or yours.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I naturally connect with them. I grew up taking care of family pets, friends’ pets, and animals I watched while traveling. I understand how different each animal’s personality is, and I love tuning in to what they need, whether it is play, comfort, structure, or quiet time. I am gentle, patient, and very affectionate with animals who like closeness, but also respectful with shy or sensitive pets. People trust me because I treat their pets with real love and intention, the same way I care for my own space and relationships. My schedule is flexible, and pet care blends naturally into my day. I enjoy slow mornings, walks, and spending time outside, so having a pet with me just adds joy to my routine. I am available most days and weekends, and I make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule so they feel secure and loved while you are gone. I am very intentional about how I care for animals. I pay attention to details, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels safe and grounded at all times. I move gently, I stay calm, and I never rush an animal’s process. I treat pets like emotional beings with their own needs and personalities. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with love, patience, and respect, and your home will always be left clean and cared for.

About: My experience is primarily with cats and dogs (in particular pit bulls and northern breeds including huskies), and aquariums (fresh, salt and reef), although I am happy to discuss sitting for households that include exotics such as reptiles or small pets. I am comfortable with high medical needs or multi-pet households due to my previous experience with multiple-cat homes and as an owner of two dogs and a cat myself. I only care for pets who are able to remain in their home environment (housesitting) because I feel that maintaining their usual routines and experience as much as possible when their humans are gone is critical to minimizing their stress. I work remotely as a freelancer, and during housesits, will not leave your pets alone except for essential errands lasting no more than two hours at a time, once a day. (For example, medical or dental appointments, checking on my own home and pets, running errands). For pets who suffer from separation anxiety, I may be able to offer continuous 24/7 coverage but this will need to be discussed. I feel that it's very important that client and sitter are a good fit for each other. While I am happy to work with households containing reactive pets or complex routines such as rotating dogs who do not always get along, I cannot accept jobs involving aggressive animals or those with a bite history. Pre-booking meet and greets are critical to making sure that we are on the same page and that both you and I have an understanding of what your pet's routine should be while you are gone. I provide daily updates via text, email, or messenger, and am available via phone or text 24/7 when you are away. For routine inquiries, please be aware that I do not check my messages between 9PM-8AM Pacific time.

“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”

About: Dogs have had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. Unable to have pets at home as a kid, I sought out opportunities to play with and care for dogs at a young age. Since then, I've... -had my own pets (yayyy!) -volunteered as a puppy foster mom -run large-scale fundraiser events for dog lovers + their dogs, benefiting local shelters -pet sit for 20+ years! (both in my home as well as the pet's home) I am truly comfortable and content with all dogs, from playful puppies and selective seniors, to doggos livin' large. I am happy to reinforce basic training and leash commands you are working on at home. I reward pawsitive behavior through affection, affirmation, and...treats!!! (where applicable of course - not for dogs on diets) :) Along with my 20+ years of experience in pet and house sitting, I have 10+ years of experience as a professional nanny and 2+ years of experience as a personal chef. I know how to treat others' homes, and loved ones, with respect, loving care, and confidentiality. I currently work from home, with flexibility to take breaks and walks throughout the day. I like to go on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to bring your dog along for the adventure if applicable. Health, safety, and happiness of your dog is my top priority. I want your doggie to live their best life while I am with them, and that means lots of love and adventuring (depending on your pup). If your dog is on the shy and/or anxious side, I provide space for them to come to me when the time is right. In an emergency, remaining calm, following procedure, and staying in good communication with you stays top of mind.

“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”
