House Sitting in Spence

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent job. My Rick was happy, healthy and calm and did not appear to have missed me at all, LOL. Mary left everything in tidy order and communicated when she had questions. She followed the care instructions and improvised skillfully - I appreciate her providing great care of my Rick🤗”

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.

“Andrew was great! He was very flexible on timing and was able to come early when our schedule changed. He took great care of our pets and left our house spotless. Will book again!”

“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 am the person for you if you’re looking for someone responsible and caring to walk your four legged friend. Let me know if you might need someone to check in on your pet or pets to make sure all is well or maybe need a home away from home while you’re taking a short trip. If your pet would do better in their own home, just let me know. My own dog family has included an Australian Shepard (named Angel), two terriers (Boots and Bear) a Cardigan Welsh Corgi (Fairy Glenn Natalie aka “Natty Girl”), and a golden retrievers (Woody) and a Pomeranian (Bubba)! Our newest additions are Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Abby) and Auggie (Corgi/Australian Shepard, Huckleberry)! From puppy to senior, it didn’t take long for them to be part of our family. I have always been a dog lover and will treat your pet like my own and consider your pets individual needs! In response to COVID-19, I am continuing to exercise caution during this time by sanitizing leashes, keeping hands and home clean and sanitized before and after visits. If you'd prefer, please let me know & I can use my own leash as an extended precaution. Instead of in person meet & greets prior to service, I am also available for remote meeting such as facetime and zoom platforms. Our pets need us, let's do what we can to keep ourselves safe from this virus! I believe that dog walks are an important part of a doggie's day and I'm willing to help out with that when life gets in the way! With enough notice I can drive throughout Monterey County and sometimes a bit beyond. I will keep your fur baby company and keep them entertained with chew toys, walks, and any suggestions that you might have for your pet's personality. Sometimes, they seem to prefer naps until they see you again :)

“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.”
