“Such a loving and caring family. My dogs walked in as if they walked into their home. I left them feeling confident that they were in good hands. Cecilia is great in communication and sending pitfie updates we would definitely go back.”
“Nicole and her family are incredible. They took the best care of our pup. We felt very comfortable being states away and knew that he was so loved. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“So great! I knew Sophie was very well cared for and loved like part of the family while she was there. Clearly very passionate about caring for dogs and providing everything needed to make them feel at home. Sophie had a last minute minor medical issue prior to being dropped off, but they were very comfortable with providing meds and keeping an the on the condition. Also provided updates and made sure I knew Sophie was doing great during her stay. Will be my go-to boarders for all future needs as long as they’ll take us!”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“There’s not many people I trust when it comes to my 9 month old fluffy Frenchie, but gratefully Marion is now one of them! It was a last minute decision to bring my puppy to Carmel for a wedding & I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. Marion constantly updated me with cute pictures & videos of my pup having the best time with all the other doggies 💕 Thankful for a mom’s weekend out knowing she was in the best care!”
“Wow! I’m blown away by my dogs’ stay! They came home happy and pooped out. I’m so grateful that they were able to stay with Robby rather than a typical kennel while I was out of town for Christmas. When I picked my babies up, I was happy to hear that they had the opportunity to meet some new friends ? Thank you so much for taking care of my tiny dogs as if they were your own!”
“We are so grateful that Jaclyn was able to take care of Odie so nicely. Odie got so much love and affection and did not even miss us. haha. They sent pictures of Odie and took him for walks and gave him so much of hugs kisses and wrapped him like a baby during bedtime and made him feel so much at home. This is the best place for my pet and would greatly recommend for anyone trying to send their pet when they are out of town. Thanks so much Jacklyn. We love your support!”
“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Carol was great with my dog, Henry! Even in her small space, he felt right at home. She took amazing care of him and even helped with his training. She sent photos & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”
“Bryan and Renee have been great! They take such good care of my dog Disco. They’re communicative and take him on lots of trips when I’m away. Their dog is also very friendly and plays well with Disco who is only 8lbs.”
“This was Rocket's first stay with Darlene and it was just awesome. We were a little apprehensive since he is very attached but Darlene gave him a lot of attention to get him settled in. He was out in the yard with all the dogs in a little bit and seemed like he was enjoying himself. Darlene sends the best doggie photos to keep us up to date and was very accessible via text. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. If we lived a little closer to her, she would be our go-to sitter. The whole family came out to say bye to Rocket when we went to pick him up and it was very nice to see all of them invested in the care for the dogs. Rocket came home very clean and happy. He easily slipped into our usual routine without being extra anxious or clingy which happens sometimes when he is boarded. Highly Recommend!”
“Grace and Claudio were great! They are very responsive, responsible, and my dog had a great time. They sent lots of happy dog photos during the stay and made all logistics very easy. We hope to use them again if we are in the area.”

“Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.”

I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, cats with all personalities, and pets who need extra gentle handling. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free. Clear communication and compassion come first — I want your pet to feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits into my weekly routine full time .

“Michael was very punctual, considerate, and great with our cat! Our cat is usually so shy. He hides from everyone and everything. But Michael was able to get him to come out of hiding and interact with him, which was just amazing.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own, as well as my relatives pets ever since I was 13. I grew up with three German Shepherds and a cute feisty Boston Terrier. So no dog is too big or small. I love them all. I’m currently unemployed and have loads of time on my hands. All my attention will be on taking care of your babies. Im available everyday except weekends :) To ensure your pets feels safe and happy I welcome all feedback and instructions to make it the best environment possible.

About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I currently live with four cats, including one of my own, and my sisters have cats as well, so I’m around different cat personalities every day. I’ve cared for cats of different ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also have experience bottle-feeding young kittens and helping stray cats in need, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and really attentive to their behavior. I know cats have their own boundaries, some want cuddles and attention right away, while others need their space and time to warm up. I’m completely comfortable letting them come to me when they’re ready. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, keeping their space tidy, and following their normal routines. I also pay attention to the little things, like changes in eating, drinking, litter box habits, or behavior, and I’ll always let you know if I notice something unusual. I know it can be hard leaving your cat while you’re away, so I’ll send photos and updates with every visit so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll treat your cat with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. 🤍🐾
About: Dog & cat mom, foster, rescue volunteer, and marine biologist working in animal rescue and rehabilitation—I’ve spent my life caring for animals and know how important it is to have someone you truly trust with your pets. I currently intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Rescue and Rehabilitation Team, so hands-on animal care is quite literally what I do every day! I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs—from kittens and puppies to seniors and hospice pets. I’m comfortable with medications, specialized care, enrichment, exercise, and pets who are shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines. I’m experienced in reading animal behavior, respecting boundaries, and adapting my care to each individual pet. Whether that means walks and adventures, enrichment and play, slow trust-building, or simply keeping them comfortable at home, my priority is making sure your pets feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 17. Family and friends have trusted me on walking and feeding their pets when they have vacations or are simply just busy:) I’m available all weekends and weekdays to play, feed, bathe, walk, give attention, and babysit if you have any upcoming vacations or urgent emergencies you may have! While you're out of town, I'll make sure your dog feels right at home! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love will keep them happy and well-cared for. 🐾🏠💕
“Sara did a great job on a last-minute request. Our original sitter had to unexpectedly cancel and Sara stepped in and saved us! As usual they handled my two felines with care and compassion. Them was able to manage Leo's new medication and all the other details of the drop in visits.”
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.
“Marium was great from the first communication and booking. I haven’t had to board my 2 cats before so I was nervous about leaving them in an unfamiliar place. She was good with letting them set the pace and keeping me updated. Will be booking with her again!”
About: I haven't taken care of dogs, but I do and have had plenty of my own. So I have been relied on to feed, bathe, and take care if them while my parents are busy or have some where to go. I am currently on summer break, while taking a college course and going back and forth from my school and home for JROTC activities and meetings that I have. Sometimes I'll accompany my parents at work but since it's summer break I'll have lots of spare time to walk and play with your pets!! I get along with dogs pretty well and enjoy playing with them and walking them around a while. I do have two other dogs at home but they are very nice and friendly!
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I always take the time to help them feel safe and relaxed in their environment while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the patience and space they need to warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves attention and cuddles or prefers a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to match their personality and needs. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple-cat households, senior cats, and cats that may be nervous around new people. My goal is always to provide attentive, stress-free care and make sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and loved

In my home I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision. Pets have access to fresh water at all times, scheduled feedings, and a comfortable place to rest a day I follow each pet’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Also maintain a calm, structured environment to help pets feel secure and reduce stress. In a clients’ homes i ensure to respect and follow the pet’s established routine and house rules exactly as instructed, provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and mental stimulation. Also keep the home tidy, wipe paws if needed, and make sure everything is securely locked before I leave.
“Alexis is amazing! We just moved to the area, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease about leaving our Luna in her care. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and communicative throughout the entire experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. We’re so happy we found Alexis and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️”
“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“Mike and his wife were so friendly and good at communicating. Luna had a fun time with them and we would definitely use them again to watch Luna if we are passing through the area in the future!”
“Took my dog for daycare. Gabriel kept me updated all through out the day and sent me lots of pictures. Gave us some good training tips not to mention he includes a free 45 min. training session. He gave us a box of treats and some mini tennis balls for my dog to take home very generous of him. We will definitely use him in the near future.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs—from younger, energetic dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a senior, so I understand how important routines, comfort, and individualized care can be. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who may move a little slower, need help getting around, take daily medication, or simply need more patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they’re safe and happy. 🐾 My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work limited hours, and on the days I do work, I’m typically home by 1 PM. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home much of the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m also available for morning and evening routines and can adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and normal routine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions before caring for them. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and household routines closely and never assume that what works for one pet will work for another. In my home, pets are closely supervised and given a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and interactions between animals. I have dogs of my own, so introductions would always be handled carefully and based on each pet’s temperament and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of both their pets and their property. I follow instructions closely, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾
“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’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.
“Velsia took amazing care of my buddy Loki for 10 hours, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super friendly, kept me updated every 30 minutes, and even took him out on a hike. Loki has separation anxiety, but he felt so comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. She truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
About: My preferred name is Artemisia (my legal name is Paola), and I’ll be your pet’s sitter and caretaker! I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and two puppies, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence and really take the time to get to know each animal and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a little training, or would rather have a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play and get outside. Whether you’re traveling, working, or simply need an extra hand, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment with someone who genuinely cares about making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dogs, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps them burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️
“I felt at ease leaving both of my pets with Sarah. She is very professional and communicated clearly and timely. She greeted my pets and I outside of her home and then gave us a tour of where my pets would spend time. She spent the time to allow my dog Roble to get acquainted with the space and other pets. She was very thorough in caring for my pets (i.e. feeding schedule, rest, petting and play time). I received plenty of updates as well. I will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Darlene was wonderful to my pups. They were happy and tired when they got home. We will call on Darlene again. They seemed to get along great with her small kids. Thank you we are very pleased. Bella,Sunny and mom &dad”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were caring and attentive They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs Orca & Bruno were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We truly appreciate all the love, care, and accommodations they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
“My dog Ted just got home and appears to have had a great time. Robbie and his family were very nice and gave me an update of how Ted was doing. We will definitely visit again. Thanks for taking great care of Ted!!!”

“Becky took great care of our girl. She sent pictures and regular updates to let us know how she was doing which made us feel really good. Caramel seemed really happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Becky again when we need to go out out of town and can’t take our dog with us.”
“Alicia is great. My dogs can be apprehensive with strangers so I was a little nervous how it would go hiring a stranger to walk them. She was slow with them so they have learned to trust her. I'm very happy. Always on time and gives updates right away.”
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.

I am very open to discussing schedules and am very flexible as my classes are online with no set time. Feel free to reach out to discuss what works best for you. Your pets safety is of the utmost importance and I will make sure they are properly looked after and stay vigilant of any possible dangers.
About: I’ve taken care of my own, as well as my relatives pets ever since I was 13. I grew up with three German Shepherds and a cute feisty Boston Terrier. So no dog is too big or small. I love them all. I’m currently unemployed and have loads of time on my hands. All my attention will be on taking care of your babies. Im available everyday except weekends :) To ensure your pets feels safe and happy I welcome all feedback and instructions to make it the best environment possible. I will take all the precautions necessary to do so.
“Mari is fabulous! Nat was a bit unhappy to be woken from her nap but Mari handled it like the pro she is. They had nice, productive walks and her communication was top notch. She was always on time, gave me a full rundown and she is a lovely person. After meeting with her, I was at ease knowing me sweet senior pup would be well taken care of and I was spot on. I will happily use Mari again and recommend her without hesitation. In fact, I already have some upcoming dates in mind and felt comfortable in booking my next trip knowing my baby would be well taken care of in my absence. Thank you Mari for taking such good care of Nat and being so accommodating.”
“Stephanie is fantastic! She's incredibly friendly, communicative, flexible, and did a wonderful job with our extra-large breed. I'll definitely rely on her services again!”
About: Being a previous doggie owner who I raised from puppyhood, I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life, and of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of livestock, I owned a horse, and have lived on a goat and chicken farm. I connect very much with animals of all kinds and am happy to give them love, nourishment, exercise and comfort. I am unable to have a doggie or kittie of my own right now so having the honor of caring for your furry family member gives my life meaning and enrichment <3 I am going to school currently online through a college out of San Fransisco. The rest of the time I have free to spend with your animal and take care of your home! I like to wake up early and go for a walk and have plenty of time between study sessions to go on walks and care for your pet. I will give regular walks, feed at the same time each day and offer a lot of cuddles and support. I know sometimes animals can feel anxious when their person is away..being a previous dog owner I understand that and I will treat your pet with the upmost consideration for their feelings and do everything to help them relax while their people. :)
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.

I am retired.pets is a great form of therapy.no stress no worries,no problems.i all ready put in a lot of walking miles for better health on my behalf The pet should be in its own environment.where it will be more comfortable.unless they become comfortable with their sitter.nothing worst than a stress out pet

About: Dog & cat mom, foster, rescue volunteer, and marine biologist working in animal rescue and rehabilitation—I’ve spent my life caring for animals and know how important it is to have someone you truly trust with your pets. I currently intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Rescue and Rehabilitation Team, so hands-on animal care is quite literally what I do every day! I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs—from kittens and puppies to seniors and hospice pets. I’m comfortable with medications, specialized care, enrichment, exercise, and pets who are shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines. I’m experienced in reading animal behavior, respecting boundaries, and adapting my care to each individual pet. Whether that means walks and adventures, enrichment and play, slow trust-building, or simply keeping them comfortable at home, my priority is making sure your pets feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to schedule pet visits around my shifts without any issue. I’m available in the mornings or early afternoons/evenings, and I can stay for several hours if your pet needs extra company, enrichment, or supervision. I’m also available on weekends and some holidays. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I don’t bring animals to my house, so all of my services are centered around keeping your pet’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I will make sure to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s specific feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, medication routines, or favorite enrichment activities. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and whatever level of play, exercise, or quiet company they prefer. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets. I tidy up after visits, keep things organized, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away, and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
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.

Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“So great! I knew Sophie was very well cared for and loved like part of the family while she was there. Clearly very passionate about caring for dogs and providing everything needed to make them feel at home. Sophie had a last minute minor medical issue prior to being dropped off, but they were very comfortable with providing meds and keeping an the on the condition. Also provided updates and made sure I knew Sophie was doing great during her stay. Will be my go-to boarders for all future needs as long as they’ll take us!”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“There’s not many people I trust when it comes to my 9 month old fluffy Frenchie, but gratefully Marion is now one of them! It was a last minute decision to bring my puppy to Carmel for a wedding & I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. Marion constantly updated me with cute pictures & videos of my pup having the best time with all the other doggies 💕 Thankful for a mom’s weekend out knowing she was in the best care!”
“Wow! I’m blown away by my dogs’ stay! They came home happy and pooped out. I’m so grateful that they were able to stay with Robby rather than a typical kennel while I was out of town for Christmas. When I picked my babies up, I was happy to hear that they had the opportunity to meet some new friends ? Thank you so much for taking care of my tiny dogs as if they were your own!”
“We are so grateful that Jaclyn was able to take care of Odie so nicely. Odie got so much love and affection and did not even miss us. haha. They sent pictures of Odie and took him for walks and gave him so much of hugs kisses and wrapped him like a baby during bedtime and made him feel so much at home. This is the best place for my pet and would greatly recommend for anyone trying to send their pet when they are out of town. Thanks so much Jacklyn. We love your support!”
“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Carol was great with my dog, Henry! Even in her small space, he felt right at home. She took amazing care of him and even helped with his training. She sent photos & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”
“Bryan and Renee have been great! They take such good care of my dog Disco. They’re communicative and take him on lots of trips when I’m away. Their dog is also very friendly and plays well with Disco who is only 8lbs.”
