House Sitting in Salinas

“Truly exceptional in every way! We were pretty nervous about using rover for in-house sitting for the first time but Alexis made us feel so comfortable and made everything seamless. Most importantly, Bucky loved her right away and he is an excellent judge of character ☺️. Alexis sent lots of photos and even video updates so we knew he was doing great and being well cared for every day. It takes a special person to take on a very large dog in a new space and Alexis was everything we could hope for in a sitter. And she left our home looking perfect too! So grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kind, considerate, and extremely competent sitter for their fur baby.”

“Spencer was wonderful. Daily photos and words that gave us comfort that our Finn was doing well. I would hire him again and again. It’s been decades since we have needed a petsitter - and Spencer did everything to assure us he could handle the job.”

“Jenna is amazing! Jenna stayed at my house with my two dogs Luna and Penny while I was out of town at a work conference. Right when she arrived, she sent me an update, and sent lots of photos and updates throughout her entire stay. She was so sweet, attentive, and I could tell by the photos that my girls were super stoked to have her. Jenna took my pups on walks multiple times throughout the day, even when the weather was gross and rainy. When I came home, my dogs were completely relaxed and resting. Jenna even left a super sweet gift of a of drawing of my dogs, and a bag of trinkets that truly felt like it was given to me by an old friend. I’ll be reaching out to Jenna any time I need some help with my pups, and would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

“It can definitely feel a little intimidating to invite someone you don’t know into your home—especially when they’ll be caring for your fur babies. But from the moment I met Asja, I felt completely at ease. She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely eager to learn about your animals and their unique needs. I left her with a detailed list of instructions, and she not only followed everything perfectly but went above and beyond. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure all the dogs got plenty of walks, helped with training our new rescue, and showered all the animals with love and attention. I’ll absolutely reach out to Asja again whenever I need pet care, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and genuinely love caring for all animals. I am also a volunteer at Hitchcock Road Animal Shelter located in Salinas, CA. Most importantly, I will ensure your pet is well cared for at all times. I am available on weekdays for dog walking from 11am-3pm, except for Tuesdays which I dedicate to volunteering at my local shelter. I am also available for pet sitting, both cats & dogs. I am capable of feedings, bathing and many other responsibilities for both dogs and cats. Very experienced with providing medication for animals with medical needs.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and one on one attention I give every pet. I treat your dog or cat like family, not just a job. I also send daily updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to give pets my full attention whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for, just like they would at home. At my home, pets get plenty of love, playtime, and a calm space to relax. I make sure they feel at home with cozy spots to rest and a safe environment to explore. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel secure and stress free. I treat every pet like my own, whether I’m in their space or they’re in mine.

“Jawharrah is THE BEST! She’s been taking care of our senior, blind Chihuahua for a few years now, and we couldn’t be happier. She manages our dog’s complex medication regimen, feeding schedule, and various other needs with ease. She is kind and compassionate, has great judgment, and is super communicative—she doesn’t hesitate to ask if she has a question, and we love getting photo and video updates of our dog when we’re away. I am so grateful to Jawharrah. Traveling can be stressful, so it means the world to us to know that our dog and home are in such capable, caring hands.”

About: I have a good deal of experience working with dogs that need a more gentle touch. Not all dogs enjoy lots of fuss and activity for many reasons. It’s quite a special thing to earn the trust of timid dogs for whom the world can be a scary place. My empathic nature and experience in energy work help me appreciate the unique needs of each dog I work with. I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, or just “be” as appropriate for the dog's comfort. At home I have handicapped pets of my own, including a paralyzed terrier mix (RIP Rogue) and a tri-pawed chihuahua. My experience with differently abled dogs has taught me that with a bit of adaptation, there is no reason why they can’t lead healthy, happy lives just like any other dog.

About: “With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other animals, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for all pets. Growing up in a home full of animals taught me not only the practical aspects of pet care but also the importance of patience, empathy, and building trust with every animal friend. My lifelong passion for animals sets me apart, ensuring your pet is cared for with the same attention and affection I’ve given my own. As of right now, I am currently looking for a part-time job while attending Monterey Peninsula College, but as of right now, my schedule is pretty open. “I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. My home is pet-friendly, featuring a secure fence to keep pets safe during outdoor play. I also have a brand-new, unused dog crate available for any pet that feels more comfortable with their own space. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for at all times.

“Anissa was wonderful and super responsive whenever I messaged her. Asks plenty of questions to make sure she’s handling our dog with the outmost care and we truly appreciate that. Thank you very much🙏🏼”

About: While growing up I have had a variety of pets in which I took great care of. In any caregiving situation where you might need me, I will be both able and willing to help. I am home from college for the summer and currently unemployed so with that being said I have only a few obligations which I am able to move my schedule around to work around yours. Growing up I have taken care of my pets and my siblings when they have needed it. I take them on walks, have feed them pills in the past, and bathed them. I am qualified for any service you need and can care for your pet in any way needed.

“Jocelyn was AMAZING! I have 3 rescue dogs of various sizes with plenty of odd quirks and am always so anxious to go out of town but Jocelyn took amazing care of them and when we got home all three pups were so calm and relaxed like they just had a vacation!”

About: I love dogs and have taken care of many different breeds for many years. When I'm dog-sitting, I treat them as if they were my own pets. When their "parents" are gone, it's important to make them feel secure. That's why I prefer to dog-sit in the pet's home. Also, I work in the medical field and know when a dog needs to see the vet. I am a semi-retired medical writer/editor and I work from home exclusively. This means that when I'm caring for your pet, I'm home with them every day all day. All I need to do my work is access to wi-fi. Also, I've had birds for more than 40 years, so if you have a bird in addition to your dog, you can trust me with its care. I mentioned earlier that I prefer to care for pets in their own home. It's less disruptive and helps them to feel secure. That's important to me.

“David communicated very well and always checked in if anything was surprising. Our dog and our house were both left in good shape. We'd be happy to have David watch her again.”

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.

“Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She is very kind and caring. She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away. She stayed in constant communication and kept us updated. She was not afraid to ask questions. Sarah always responded quickly and is very trustworthy. We will definitely use her again to watch our babies.”
