“She will go above and beyond for your babies. One of my babies had issues and Lisa came to check on him aside from the required check in, and did her best to make him comfortable. I definitely recommend!!”

“Thank you for your services. Amazing that you were able to make some contact with shy Ruby. That is huge. We do have a busy household and I know they do miss us. We miss them too?. You were great with our fur babies. Thank you Nicole ?❤️”

“This is the second time I booked With Chrystina, as always she was very helpful, punctual, and attentive while checking in on my babies. It’s never fun leaving your fur babies behind when you have to travel, but thanks to her I was able to feel a little more at ease!”


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.
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: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and truly love what I do. I help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I’m gentle, reliable, and always follow routines so pets feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet with care, patience, and lots of love. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make it a priority. I have flexible availability throughout the week and weekends, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care based on their needs and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets are supervised and secure at all times. I respect your home and routines, and I’m happy to provide updates so you feel confident and at ease.
“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.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Kimberly. She is exactly what you want and need in a pet sitter-- she truly cares about our animals, reads their needs very well, has successfully kept our escape artists inside, and even has gone above and beyond, doing things such as pulling our trash cans in and watering our house plants. Her communication is timely and informative, and I love the photos she sends. I am confident that my babies are being excellent cared for while I'm away when she is taking care of them. I wish I could give her 10 stars. I've used a number of pet sitters and hope I never have to use anyone but her ever again.”

“Maria has been great! We have been working with her for months and have really grown to trust her. I really appreciate her timely and informative communication with me. Recently, our dog had a week of sickness, and she was more than willing to help clean up any of his messes he left. The pictures we receive in the Rover app definitely show how much our dog is comfortable with her. We are so grateful and highly recommend her services.”


About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

Thankfully for me I have plenty of space to enrich a dog. Where dogs can be exercised, safe and cared for.
“We had a great experience hiring Marta for our two shihtzus. She was easy to communicate with and we appreciated her professionalism! We love that she sent photo updates while we were gone, it assured us that our pups were safe & happy! She will be our go-to dog sitter for all future trips!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages starting when I was 13 years old. I have been employed by neighbors, family friends, and friends of mutual friends. My duties include feeding, playing, and walking. I provide undivided attention, security, and unconditional love to your furry family member. I prioritize the owner's guidelines and wishes regarding how I fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will usually start the day with morning walks and feeding sessions, ensuring each pet gets the exercise and nutrition they need to start their day right. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and plenty of cuddle breaks to keep them happy and engaged. In the evenings, I do another round of walks, feeding, and any necessary grooming. Balancing my schedule around pet care allows me to give each pet the attention and love they deserve, making sure their needs are met consistently. Whether it's a daily visit or an extended stay, your pet's well-being is always my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I make sure there’s plenty of space for them to play, relax, and feel at home. I follow a structured routine that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, so pets know what to expect and feel secure. In my clients' homes, I maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize any stress from being in a different environment. I make sure to follow the specific instructions provided by the owners regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and any special care needs. I also keep the home tidy and ensure that pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In both settings, I prioritize the pets' health, happiness, and safety, providing lots of love and attention to keep them content and well-cared for.

“Debbie is super reliable and does a great job checking on our fury family when we're traveling. She is quick to respond to any communication and exhibits genuine care for doing an outstanding job. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch after their pets.”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, both as pets and through dog sitting/walking. I have one shih-tzu who I’ve cared for the past 10 years and also have experience through previously volunteering at the SPCA of Monterey county, working with dogs, cats, and small animals. At the moment, I am currently a part time student in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays and otherwise have open availability. I’m free to work on other weekdays and weekends anytime in the afternoon or evening. With my experience, I am prepared to take any extra precautions or care when informed by the owners. I’m open for contact throughout the day while caring for pets.
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.

Kim was great to work with! I wish my cat wasn’t such a scaredy cat, but thankfully she was able to spot her a few times. Everything was taken care of while I was away and Kim always updated me when she was at the house. Would definitely book for visits again!
