About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. I have a fenced yard and two doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed

“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 grew up with many dogs so they hold a special place in my heart. I have owned and trained large dogs such as Bernese Mountain dog and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I treat my dogs as family and will do the same for your dogs. I am able to walk, play or care for any size dog. I work from home so i have a very flexible schedule. I cannot wait to meet your special animal and take care of them for you! I currently work from home Monday - Friday so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to do early, mid day and late visits. It is important to know your surroundings. Prior to existing any new area with a pet, I am care to check where any exits are and be sure I have the pet in eye sight so there is no animals running loose.

About: My dogs have passed and at this stage in our lives we travel to visit our children and grandchildren and so it's not reasonable for us to have our own dogs anymore. Instead when we're home we Foster dogs, we have fostered over 100 dogs for Monterey Bay Lab rescue. And we watch dogs for our friends. Rover gives us an opportunity to watch dogs for you and let you come to the Monterey peninsula or go camping or to family events or wherever you need to to go knowing that your dog is in our home and being loved completely. A home away from home for your dog. I promise. I work from home with a laptop on my lap sitting on a couch. All the dogs always love to sit next to me and snuggle and sleep and they love the fact that that's just what I do all day. They wander out to our little backyard area because we keep the door wide open and it's right next to the couch. They can bring their own toys but we also have a ton of toys. If you're from out of town, you can bring your dog to Carmel and go to the beach and Carmel Beach is the best for dogs. And then you can drop your dog off with me and you can go to the Monterey Bay aquarium or go out to dinner or do whatever you want. I'm a professor at our local University, my husband travels for business so he's gone a lot. I would love to have your dogs as companions during the days or nights. At our house dogs can go on the couches, they can sleep on the bed, they pretty much have the going to Grandma's house experience. I don't mix and match dogs unless I've watched them for a long time and I know they're all going to get along together. I like to just have one at a time or if two come in from a family, two is fine. Even three is okay if they're coming from the same family and they all like each other. We do have a dog park about a half a block away so if the dog is one that likes dog parks, we can do that. I will say from my fostering experience for the last 16 years, dogs normally do great when they meet someone who is just going to love them unconditionally. It's funny because the rescue organization gives me the dogs that need quiet and safe, loving and space to just decompress. So if your dog likes to just chill and you want to go, have a great adventure on your own and know that your baby is safe. I am definitely the pet sitter for you I teach online so I'm very rarely out of the house. I'm usually sitting on my couch with my laptop. I have a nice fenced-in back yard / patio area and I leave the door wide open to the back all the time, And the door is literally 2 ft from the couch. The dogs can come and go safely. I just love to have a dog snuggling up with me on the couch while I'm working. My husband teases me that we can't walk anywhere without me stopping and petting and talking and scratching every dog I see. I have a fenced in small backyard. I leave the door open between my living room and the backyard so the dogs can come and go. Some dogs love to just lay in the sun on the back pavers other dogs just go out to go to the bathroom while other dogs won't go out unless I go out and sit with them. It's very very safe

“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”

“Mallory was great with our dog. She came over to review everything and took great notes, then showed up on time and provided great care. She also made sure we knew our dog was receiving care and her medications as directed. Will certainly use Mallory again.”

Mike C.

“Huge thanks to Jacqueline for looking after our pup. It was great to meet her beforehand to introduce her to Huckleberry. Our dog is energetic and Jacqueline ensured he had dood exercise and plenty of attention while we were away for a weekend.”

About: I've had dogs all my life. I've worked at multiple doggy day cares. My customers from the doggie daycares requested for me to get this app I currently work part-time so I'm available for doggie daycare or whatever you may need for the pups after 2:00 p.m. on the weekdays and weekends to whatever time you need. I will give your pet all my attention talk to them like there a little human. By the end of the day I guarantee me and your dog will be best friends.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: From daily walks to personalized playtime and attentive feeding, my commitment extends beyond basic care to fostering a loving and comfortable environment. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary requirements, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with the same level of care and dedication. Your beloved furry family members are not just pets to me; they are cherished companions deserving of the utmost attention and affection. I am currently working remotely full-time so my schedule during the week can be flexible and during the weekend I am available full time upon request. Providing exceptional in-home pet care is my specialty. I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your furry companions by maintaining their routines in the familiar comfort of your own home. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and adhering to dietary needs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your pets. With a keen eye for detail, I also keep your home secure and tidy, providing peace of mind while you're away. Trust that your pets are in caring hands, receiving personalized attention and companionship in an environment where they feel most at ease. Your home is their sanctuary, and I am dedicated to maintaining that sense of security and happiness in your absence.

About: I bring more than 31 years of hands-on experience caring for, rehabilitating, and living with dogs, including rescues with trauma, anxiety, digestive issues, behavioral challenges, and special needs. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science and have training in dog-assisted therapy, providing a deep understanding of both human and canine behavior, communication, trust-building, and emotional well-being. Every dog receives individualized attention tailored to their personality, routine, and unique needs. Through positive reinforcement, consistency, and thoughtful observation, I help dogs feel secure, relaxed, and supported. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, shy, highly social, recovering from a difficult past, or simply accustomed to a specific routine, I adapt my approach to ensure they remain comfortable and confident. I also have experience with high-energy breeds, blind dogs and dogs requiring specialized diets or care plans. As a 5-mile daily hiker, I can provide long walks, multiple daily outings, and hikes of up to two hours. Clear communication is a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving exceptional attention. I can also coordinate with veterinarians, groomers, and household service providers when needed, helping ensure continuity of care and smooth household operations. I bring 34 years of homeownership experience and eight years of remodeling experience, including the complete renovation of my lake house. This background has developed a strong awareness of home maintenance, safety, proactive problem-solving, and responsible property stewardship. As a volunteer member of a Fire Department Critical Response Team and Workforce Team, I am trained to recognize potential concerns early and respond appropriately. My attention to detail, reliability, and preventative mindset help safeguard your pets and property. I lead a quiet, responsible lifestyle and spend much of my time at home, allowing me to provide a consistent presence, attentive pet care, and regular property monitoring. Services Include: • Daily and overnight presence • Security and property checks • Mail and package collection • Plant care • Garbage and recycling management • Oversight and coordination of household and pet-care needs • Communication and coordination with service providers when needed • Monitoring of home systems and potential maintenance concerns • Careful stewardship of your home I specialize in extended house-sitting and pet-care assignments, accepting bookings of 30 to 130 days during the winter season. Clients choose me for my advanced behavioral expertise, decades of rescue and rehabilitation experience, exceptional communication, attentive home stewardship, and concierge-level service. Whether caring for a cherished companion, coordinating household needs, or maintaining a watchful presence over your property, my goal is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, caring hands. My day begins with a loving good-morning rub followed by a potty break, feeding, and exercise. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, play, enrichment activities, affection, and regular outdoor breaks while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I enjoy ending each day with the attention most dogs love, whether that's a belly rub, cuddle time, or simply quiet companionship. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, mobility, and daily habits so I can quickly recognize changes and respond appropriately. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of your pet while maintaining a dependable, consistent presence. On a daily basis I maintain the cleanliness of pet-related areas, including food and water stations, entryways, and frequently used spaces. When a home has a pet door, I ensure the yard remains clean through daily waste removal. My goal is to provide an enriching environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved throughout your stay away from home. I provide a reliable daily and overnight presence, along with regular property walk-throughs. During severe weather, I perform additional inspections to identify potential concerns early and take appropriate preventative measures when possible. I maintain a calm, quiet environment that allows me to remain highly attuned to both your pet's well-being and any household conditions that may require attention. I am equally attentive to conditions on and around the property that could affect your home's safety and security. For example, during a recent house sit, I proactively cleared leaves and debris from nearby storm drains before heavy rain to help reduce the risk of localized flooding. Years of property stewardship have strengthened my ability to recognize developing issues and address them before they become larger concerns. Clients frequently share that they experience a genuine sense of peace and ease while away, knowing their pets and home are being cared for with exceptional attention, responsibility, and respect. They appreciate the strong bonds I develop with their pets and the clean, thoughtfully cared for home they come back to. Upon request, I can stock a reasonable number of essential grocery items prior to your return, helping ensure a comfortable and seamless homecoming.
