“Gunner had a great experience on his visit. He had so much fun playing with Otto. We also got some great tips on helping train Gunner. We would definitely recommend!”

“Max had a great time at Mike’s. Mike and his wife were very communicative throughout the day. Max is a pandemic pup with some quirks but they were very patient with him and took him on a walk to ease some of his anxiety. We are very happy to have found a safe space for Max while visiting California.”

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.
“Chris is a super star dog sitter. He dog sitter for Checkers last minute and did a great job watching him. He provided videos and photos too which put our mind at ease when leaving him. We will definitely be using his services again. Thank you so much Chris!!!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 he was older so I had to learn to be patient with him.Now with a newer puppy I had to find ways to train and help him not be so shy around other dogs As a college student I have my weekends open and I stay at school for holidays! During the week I have a lot of time in between class in order to take care of your loving pet! I always make sure to keep an eye on the pets when outside the back yard or just in the house just to make sure they’re okay. During walks when walking pass other dogs I try to walk across the street from other dog or stray off to the side and wait for the dog to pass us.
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”


“Jill was awesome and Jack really enjoyed his day with her. He came back cleaner than when we left him and a happy pup. Would definitely use Jill again when we are in the Monterey area!”

About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and will provide excellent care for your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give them the same level of attention, safety, and compassion I would expect for my own pet. I have experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies. I understand the importance of providing gentle, patient, and attentive care to older dogs. In addition, my fiancé and I adopted a 2.5 month old puppy in May 2022. Her name is Lola, and we successfully trained her through her puppy years. She is now two years old and is a cattle dog, husky, and border collie mix. I am also experienced with high-energy dogs that require plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. My fiancé and I have lived in Marina, CA for two years, and I am very familiar with local parks and great places for dog walking. I also have hands-on experience caring for cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Our dog Lola also has food allergies, which has given me experience managing special diets. I also have experience administering medications when needed to dogs, cats, and rodents of all ages. I also have experience cat sitting, and truly enjoy working with animals of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. If you have any questions about my experience or qualifications, please feel free to reach out-I’d be happy to connect! -Kenzie B. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and am available most weekends. On weekdays, I have availability before work, during my lunch break (12:00–1:30 PM), and after work to check on and care for your pets. I am typically available at any time on weekends and can offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs. I will carefully follow all of your instructions to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met. I won’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, and I promise to care for and love your pet just as I would my own. Building a trusting relationship with both you and your pet is very important to me. I will also provide regular updates, including plenty of photos, so you can feel reassured and at ease knowing your pet is happy and in great hands. I understand that some animals have unique or special needs, and I am more than happy to accommodate and provide the personalized care they require.

“Best possible sitter I could have ever dreamed of! I was in town for a concert and Jayla took the absolute best care of my dog. Absolutely recommend having her watch your pet. They'll be cared for and happy. ☺️”

About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I have loved caring for cats and dogs since I was a child. I pride myself on my ability to read animal body language and gain their trust at their own pace. I also have plenty of experience training animals. For example, my cat currently knows how to sit, lay, and spin! I have administered many different kinds of medications to both cats and dogs. My friends and family members also trust me to care for their senior dogs (a chihuahua, a goldendoodle, and a yorkie mix). I’m very attentive and make sure they have everything they need and give them lots of cuddles! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and kittens. I try to always match my energy level to the animal I’m caring for. I’m happy to play, hike, and run around with the more energetic babies and take it slow and cuddle/chill with the lazier or older ones I try my best to give personalized care to each animal, since they’re all unique and have their own little quirks. I also have experience with some skiddish, shy, and unsure animals. I work very hard to make them feel safe and show them the gentleness and care that they deserve. For boarding, there is a wonderful cat in my home. He is playful, but gentle and loves dogs very much. I can only board dogs that are okay with cats, but I’m very confident that I’d be able to do a slow introduction with a dog that has never met a cat before. I’m currently a medical student, but I only have to be on campus for a few hours each week. My partner who lives with me works full time, but she works from home Mondays and Fridays and is happy to help care for animals on those days. Our weekends are entirely free for animal care! Our apartment complex has a fenced-in grassy area that is large enough to accommodate larger dogs. If I’m coming to your home, I’ll make sure your pet’s water bowl is full and that they feel happy and loved.
“Carol communicated well, and sent us pictures and a video of our little puppy throughout the day. When we went to pick Tucker up, he seemed content and relaxed. He was happy to see us but not anxious. It's relieving to find a caretaker who wants to spend quality time with our best friend And care for him in such a way as to make him feel at home. Thanks for taking care of our buddy, Carol!!”


“Thank you so much! Really appreciate you being there for us, made our trip to Monterey and put us at ease. Bron really liked spending time with you, we couldnt have asked for more!”

About: I have the utmost respect for life in all forms. Years experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation and fostering animals. Grew up training dogs and target training chickens and fish. I have my own senior dog, so I am well versed in senior dog care. I have a gift for observation and notice the little things and differences in behavior and health. Always excited to care for new furry friends :) I work from home and care for my senior dog. The animals I choose to care for are my priority, daily/weekly routine can fluctuate due to the specific needs of each pet. I have a fenced yard with lots of sun that when possible I sit and soak the heat in with my fur baby. Plenty of sun indoors too for those that enjoy to sunbathe. I keep a good schedule and routine to keep consistency and trust. Walks and stimulation to keep anxiety down, and dedicated one on one time playing games or doing tricks to build a confident relationship with me and your pet.

About: I live on a ranch with plenty of space for dogs to safely enjoy outdoor time. I’ve been caring for dogs in Prunedale for the past eight years and love providing playtime, attention, and a comfortable routine. I’m home throughout the week, so your pet can receive care and supervision from morning to night, with a safe place to rest. I have experience with daily walks, administering medication, dependable care whenever you need a sitter, and will happily follow your doggies routine! I am always home during the week and weekends, and I will always have time to care for your pup. I am also available during the holidays. My property is fully fenced, and my own pet is very friendly and loves playing with others. I’ll be with your pet throughout the day to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. There’s plenty of space for their food, bed, crate, and anything else they need.

This was my first time leaving my 4 month old puppy while I traveled to Greece, so I was very nervous. Janessa made the experience so much easier with regular updates, photos, and great communication. She was attentive, and Nala was very playful with my pup. It made me feel confident that Rollie was in good hands. I’m very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!
