Lisa was so good with my cat! I would definitely rebook with her, I loved her, kips loved her, she was very quick to give me updates and respond to messages which I really appreciated. She sent me videos and made sure she addressed kips health issues in her messages so I knew he was ok. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him❤️ I really very much appreciated it❤️

Nicole is amazing! She visited my dog for 5 days and everything went as planned, my dog loved his walks with her and all the time spent. It was my first time someone cared for my dog for this amount of time and I will definitely be booking with her again, she is caring, responsible, and reliable. I highly recommend ! ☺️

About: I have owned animals of many kinds! From as small as a guinea pig to as big as a horse. Dogs have always been a main source of love and I have almost always had one as a part of my family for as long as I remember. I am patient and kind, and would appreciate the chance to help a family when possible! Pet care will be fitting into my daily life in between family matters. My children are in school from 815AM-5PM as long as nothing comes up or appointments have been made. Caring for pets is more natural than anything. As of now, my family and I care for a guinea pig and fish. We make sure the animals are fed and environments are clean. We are hands on with the guinea pig every day to make sure she has the interaction she needs to stay as healthy as she can.

Jenna was pleasant and professional when caring for my cat Bella. She sent photos and updates, and I really appreciated that spent the whole 30 minutes trying to find Bella who wouldn't come out of hiding. Jenna made sure that Bella had water on the front porch and left her some treats, confirmed that Bella wasn't out on the street. She even walked around the neighborhood looking for Bella, and saw the cat that Bella doesn't like hanging out on my back fence. This explains why Bella wasn't interested in socializing. Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your care.

About: Taking them on walks to burn energy and fress air, cleaning up message they made, are feed, playing with them, and make sure they well cared for while their parents are busy. Have class on Tuesday-Thursday and in college but they aren't super long except Tuesday long and I can't drive. But I have a lot of freed time ( it depends ) Will I follow the owners rules for their house and make sure the dog isn't doing anything that it shouldn't and that everything is ok and that the dog didn't make a mess if so I'll clean it up.

About: Hello, my name is Karina. I truly adore animals and would love to care for your pets. I treat every pet the same way I would want my own pet to be treated with love, patience, and attention. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always send regular updates to keep you informed on how your pet is doing. Your pet will never feel alone. My mom and sister are also animal lovers, and together we make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Cats stay indoors in our rooms in a calm, cozy space. Dogs are kept both inside and outside during the day, and we also provide walks. At night, dogs are kept indoors so I always know they are safe. I carefully follow all feeding instructions and any specific routines you provide. I also keep a clean, safe environment, including a well-maintained yard. I currently have one cat, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. If you have any questions or would like to meet, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks and play with. When I’m not home my family is with them and also treats them with the same love. (No children in the home) I provide safety to your pets by keeping their litter box hygienic, providing a fenced yard, and monitoring them throughout the entire day. I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.

About: My I have been a cat and a dog owner before. It's been about three years since I've owned a pet for personal reasons. I'm very patient and kind, I would do my very best in caring for any pet I am to watch over no matter what. I live with my grandmother who has a dog herself, so when she's at work or goes out of town I watch over her dog for her. At the moment I have open availability. I'm looking into going to school for the fall semester. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want my career to be. Getting into dog sitting is going to help me determine if I want to work more with animals and make it apart of my career.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.

About: I’m 30 years old and have had pets around my whole life. Since I was the reason we got them, I was the main caregiver of our 2 family dogs. The chihuahua lived for a month shy of his 15th birthday and I’m so grateful I was able to care for him on his senior days. Now I own 2 myself, a 8 year old Havanese/Chihuahua mix that Ive had since she was 10 weeks old and a 7 yr old blue nose pit that I’ve had since he was 8 months. They are my world and if I could afford to get more pets I would. But right now being able to love on other people’s pets sounds like a good compromise. Plus I get to make money while being able to hang out and possibly even go on a walk? Absolutely geeked! I have quite a lot of free time and I realized I want to have the freedom to make my own schedule and hang out with what makes me the happiest; four legged creatures. Bonus if they love snuggles. I’m great at following directions to make sure I do everything in my power to have an amazing, smooth experience wether it’s walking or babysitting.

Gabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.

Jaylan is wonderful. I have a stubborn corgi who doesn’t always want to go on walks, but Jaylan always manages to convince her to walk or otherwise get her energy out by playing ball. She is prompt, friendly, and my dog really trusts and likes her.

Lisa was wonderful during drop-in visits for our cat while we were on vacation. We needed a last minute sitter and Lisa was extremely flexible. She dropped by for a meet & greet and got along great with our cat. She sent us photos while we were gone and went above and beyond to play with her as well. We will / would absolutely book Lisa again in the future.
