“Virginia is the best pet sitter hands down! She cares for my dog, (Lucca) as if he was her own. I never have to worry about him when he is in her care. I recommend Virginia to anyone who needs an attentive pet-sitter. Alice Palamidessi”
“Such an amazing and pleasurable experience. I have a 10-year-old male German Shepherd that has hip problems. They're very accommodating and have given me updates regarding his status. Gabriel has been a dog trainer for decades. He knows dogs. He knows what they need and how to take care of them. I live about 25 miiles away from them, and even having closer options, I wouldn't have it any other way. I trust my boy's well-being in their hands, and I'd like to have that peace of mind knowing that he will be okay.”
“Nicole is wonderful! The minute we get to her home, Scarlet starts wagging her tail, and we all know tails don’t lie. Nicole sent updates and photos, and I could take my trip knowing Scarlett was in great hands. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Susan L was a great host to my dog. She arranged for a visit before the boarding so we could get familiar with the set up. The fenced play area was large and spacious. My dog had the best time. It was comforting to receive photos and video )of my dog) while I was away.”
“Denise took wonderful care for our Standard Poodle with high standards! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to ensure he ate. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“I can’t recommend Carrie enough! She goes above and beyond to ensure Boujee is comfortable and happy, with plenty of playtime and attention. My dog absolutely loves spending time with her, which makes me confident in leaving him in her care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: I grew up with 5 dogs, three cats and 2 horses on our property. Moved to Monterey for college. Settled down. Have two cats babies that I love very much. I have a flexible full time job work schedule. Easy for drop ins, walks, and feeding. I can watch your pets for a day in the weekends. I may be able to watch them through the weekends on special requests. I watch over your animals with love. I have multiple parks right next to my house for walking and fun. Please me sure to let me know any details about your pets.
“This is the 3rd time we leave Ty with Jennifer and her family. They are great! We feel very comfortable knowing she is around when we need! Super recommend! Looking forward for the next one!”
“Marion has taken care of Minty multiple times now and we couldn't be happier with the service. Marion is caring, thoughtful, kind, and we know Minty loves staying with her and her dogs! She is exceptional with communication, responding quickly to any messages and keeping us regularly updated with photos. Minty always returns home happy and healthy (and tired from playing!). We are very grateful to her, and we of course recommend Marion if you are looking for someone to take care of your dog.”
“Wanessa and Sergio were amazing. They treated my dog like their own. They were highly responsive, sent lots of pictures and made my pup feel at home. A+ review and would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have taken care of livestock cats dogs all my life I like animals more than people for sure I’m a morning person so I like to get out early and feed an exercise and then come back late afternoon early evening to feed again When I bring animals to my house. They’re welcome as a member of the family and can jump on the furniture or the bed just like my animals do
“I can't believe how lucky I was to find these great people to take care of my little dog while I was away! I looked at all the sitters and so many of them had multiple dogs and talked about going on 3 mile runs with them, etc. That would have been great if I had a 2 year old border collie. My dog needs a little bit calmer place. She is a small slightly older girl who just wants to go on a couple of walks a day and cuddle up on the couch the rest of the time. She is a people dog, and just wants to be in the room with you. Mike and Lynne are a warm lovely retired couple who love dogs! They are home through the day and let my girl sit with them and she even sleep with them! They sent me pictures every day and I was able to feel that she was in good hands the whole time I was gone. They don't have other pets and it was obvious they enjoyed having Lucy with them. When I got there to pick her up, she looked at me like "maybe I'll just stay here". I already have a couple of other dates planned with them, it is such a relief to have found the right place for my little girl when I have to be away! I highly recommend them!”
“Citlali is AMAZING! 💯 percent reliable and took care of Krimzen as her own 💚 she even worked with me when my flight was delayed & agreed to drop him off at the designated time we agreed on. 🌟 he had an accident on his blanket and she washed it for me, which she didn’t need to do. I appreciate her taking care of him for the second time! I will continue to go with her, as she’s considerate and adaptable!”
“I had a great experience with Alex! He watched my dog for 3 days and kept me updated throughout the stay. He even took my pup on a hike, which I really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“Jennifer was AWESOME! I couldn't of asked for a better host for my precious Sadie! She made us feel at ease with the pictures she would send on how much fun Sadie was having!”
“Angie was wonderful! She hosted my fur baby for some doggy daycare for two days, and was so accommodating to him. She made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing and followed his normal routine. Would definitely trust him in her care again.”
“Highly recommended! She was really nice and gave me updates without me having to ask for them. Buck loved his stay and if we are going to be going out of town Christina will be the first person we ask.”
