“Denise was so welcoming with our nervous pup, Cooper! She sent lots of photos, video, and updates and Cooper enjoyed walks and a wonderful yard to roam in :) I would highly recommend Denise! If I’m ever back in Monterey with Cooper, I know I can count on Denise!”


“Elizabeth is awesome! She was kind, clearly took the time to get to know my little guy, and when we requested flexibility for pick up and drop off (as we were coming in from out of town and weren't sure how long we'd be in a no-dog area) she agreed that it was fine and was ready for us when we arrived. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and professionalism and will definitely book her for future trips to the area!”


“We’ve been looking for a regular sitter (in-home boarding) for our social, people-oriented senior toy poodle, and we started with a meet and greet with Wanessa and her family. As it was a holiday weekend, they already had several dogs (most of them regular clients) staying with them. Our little pup, who usually is nervous in new situations, didn’t hesitate to dash into their home and join the fun. He played happily with several big dogs while Wanessa and her husband chatted with us for 40 minutes. Their home is clean, light-filled and spacious with plenty of room for pups to wander and relax while still being supervised. Wanessa and her family are warm, kind and vivacious, and our little Koo took to them and the positive energy of the house immediately. We did a day care session a couple of days ago for Koo (9 hours) and he did great - happily went off without a single whimper, whine or bark (so unusual for him!) We picked him up later, relaxed, happy and tired! We received videos and photos throughout the day; apparently he spent all day tailing Wanessa until two other pups showed up and then he played with them. We plan to do an overnight next week to help Koo get acclimated slowly before leaving him for longer stretches. We’re grateful to have found Wanessa and her family. They are a thoughtful, loving and active family and we think it will be a safe and loving home-away-from-home pack for our happy little Koo.”


“Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Lola on such short notice! You and your family kept our day running so much smoother and we really appreciate you!”


“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”


“Our pup was well cared for while we had a day in the Monterey bay aquarium and cannery row. We picked him up so happy and tired from a fun day of walks and the beach! Definitely would recommend for doggy daycare!”


“Emily was fantastic. She was quick to respond before our doggy daycare stay, and was super responsive during the stay. She sent lots of photos and updates, which was so reassuring. She had a great yard and a couple other pup playmates. We’ll be leaving Coco with Emily again for sure!”


About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience as a pet owner, trainer, and sitter, I provide dependable and compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve fostered and bottle-raised everything from kittens to calves, and I’m experienced with senior care and administering medications. I pride myself on being trustworthy, responsible, and truly in tune with each animal’s individual needs. Pet sitting is my full-time work, so I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your booking needs, including weekends, holidays, and even same day or last-minute requests. Safety, Trust & Environment I am fully insured and provide both in-home care at clients’ homes—whether for overnight stays or daytime drop-ins—as well as boarding in our home. Our property includes a secure fenced yard for safe potty breaks and playtime, cozy kennels for restful sleep, and of course, plenty of belly rubs and affection. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and safety, whether they’re staying with me or I’m coming to them.

“Kelly and her boys took great care of our little girl while we were in town for a ballgame. They have a lovely neighborhood for walks and she sent lots of updates and pictures. I can’t recommend her more highly!”



“Jesse is very friendly. He guided us into his home with clear instructions. He took Sunny for a long walk with beautiful scenery along the road to release his energy. He took care of him very well by giving treats, cleaning him up after walk and settling him down in a very nice area of the home. Thank you for taking good care of my dog and I was able to enjoy visiting some places that are not dog friendly.”

“Nina is wonderful - the peace of mind we have leaving Cosmo with her is priceless. Cosmo is comfortable in her home, Nina is very attentive, and her yard is terrific. Highly recommended!”



“Julia took fantastic care of our dog, Milo, while my husband and I went hiking in Big Sur. She went above and beyond to make sure that Milo had a fun day of adventure around town. It was clear that Julia was experienced and really loved dogs!”


“Athena watched our large breed dog for two nights in a row and we were extremely happy with how she took care of him and handled the entire process! She responds extremely quickly to all messages and was very friendly and happy to have Bruiser in her house, which was beautiful and very clean. We could tell she had prepared to watch Bruiser and listened to all of our notes and instructions for him. Bruiser can sometimes be antsy when in a new place or with strangers, but he seemed more at home with Athena than at our hotel! We are more than happy with Bruiser’s stay with Athena and will absolutely use her again next time we bring Bruiser to Carmel!”
