“Jesse and his son took great care of Bailey. I could tell how much Bailey had gotten to walk and sniff by how well he slept after I picked him up. Bailey is used to walking 5 miles a day so it takes a lot to make him that tired.”
“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”
“Denise took wonderful care for our Standard Poodle with high standards! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to ensure he ate. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
“Marion was absolutely great. My dog loved her and was so happy at her the place with the other dogs. You can tell right away she loves dogs and knows a lot about them. I will for sure keep on leaving my baby with her every time I come to Monterey. ❤️?❤️”
“Christina was amazing with keeping us updated with our fur babies. Picked them up and they of course where happy to us but can tell they where sad to leave. If we need a dog sitter again I the future will go with Christian.”
“Citlali and her family were amazing and super accommodating. I would definitely recommend her b/c my dog is extremely apprehensive with people but warmed up to her right away. Going to be booking with her again for sure if she’s available when I leave town again😊”
“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.”
“Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!”
“Carol and her sister are both so nice and did a great job taking care of my pets. My dog & cat both came home happy and obviously well cared for - no hint of anxiety, just nice & tired after a fun rover stay. And thank you for the willingness to accomodate with pickup time!”
“This was my second time using Rover so there’s still some hesitation on my part. However, Kalikonani was amazing! I have a senior dog so knowing that she had a senior pup of her own, made me feel relieved that she’d understand my dog. She provided pics, updates, and was a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future :)”
“Nina was an excellent and communicative sitter for my dog. She has a great yard and I think my dog already misses it! Nina’s dog Ranie is a great playmate and kindly shared her toys with my dog. I just moved to this area, so I feel really lucky to have found Nina right away!”
“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”
About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Donna was absolutely wonderful with Fiona! 🐾 She gave her great care and attention the entire stay, and I could tell Fiona felt right at home. Donna kept communication clear and friendly, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Asta was wonderful. She met me well in advance to let our dogs meet to make sure they would get along, she was very amenable about an early morning drop off so we could make an early flight, and she sent lots of pictures throughout my pup's stay. She also gave him his medications and took great care of him. He was healthy and happy when I picked him up. Couldn't be happier.”
“Athena opened up her home to Chestnut on a short notice. Our pup had enough room to walk about and sniff. Drop off ad pick up were easy and her communication was quick. Definitely will be utilizing her services again”

Cat caregivers near you - Carmel Highlands
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: As a child we weren't allowed to have cats despite wanting one. My brother and I secretly fed and cared for a stray in our garage until we were caught and had to find a proper home for her. Now my parents have a cat! I've cared for Cali a few times in recent years when they would travel. Most recently I spent three months in Italy at a villa and part of my job was to care for Tinker, a brave and friendly male cat whom I adored. My friend Beth also has cat I have grown to love and care for along with her dogs over the past two years. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats.
“Elissa was exceptional and took her time to give extra loving to my kitties, especially my senior cat Bobbles. She’s great with communication and was easy to work with overall. :)”
“Bri was great! She sent me photos everyday and was great at communicating with me. I’m definitely using her services again on my next trip. Honey seemed very comfortable with her and she was in good hands while I was gone. Thank you Bri for everything and I’ll be calling you again for my next trip!”
“Marianne was great! Very good communication from booking throughout the stay with my cat. She sent updates and photos which was really nice. My cat loved her. Will book again.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and great with communication! I appreciated her approach to making new clients feel comfortable with her! She did great with my shy cat too! I would recommend her any day :)”
“Natalie again is the best!!! She watched my babies and even set up a cute little Valentine’s Day kissing both to provide stimulation to my kitties. It was adorable and I’m so happy I found her. I can always rest easy knowing Natalie is with my cats. She really helps me be able to relax and know they are safe and happy. Thank you again Natalie ❤️❤️”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog and cat for 10 days during Christmas break. She was professional and went above and beyond our expectations. She was attentive to their needs and allowed both of them to be relaxed and happy while we were gone. Carol sent me daily updates and photos of how they are doing. I would highly recommend her services to everyone and for sure will book with her again! ”
About: I’m the mom to a cat named Zeppelin, a dog named Stevie and a horse named Cece. I successfully trained both Stevie and Zeppelin (yes you can train a cat!) myself and have dabbled in equine training as well. Being the guardian of a nervous, reactive pup, I pride myself on understanding animal behavior and dog body language. After bringing Stevie home, I was quickly thrown into the world of dog training and behavior modification out of necessity and I have a special place in my heart for nervous pups. I've even started training other people's dogs on the side! After training my own dog, I fell in love with the process and couldn't put it down! I’ve also worked in a veterinary office and feel confident in my abilities to keep your animals safe and know how to handle emergencies. I’m a lab assistant for an environmental toxicology lab and train dogs on the side. I am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon and evening most days as well as any time on Sunday’s. At this time I am not available for boarding or overnight stays. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own, all of mine are rescues that took time, patience and trust to get to where we are now. I understand that having a new person around might be scary for your pet at first but I look forward to building a relationship with them so we all feel safe and comfortable. Having a nervous, reactive dog and a nervous cat has taught me how to better understand dog and cat body language and to go at their own pace.
About: My cat care experience has been based on the cat’s needs. Some need more attention than others. I have mostly taken care of senior kitties who need food, some loves and their litter box changed.
About: I’ve taken care and owned a variety of cats in my life. I understand when they want attention and when they want space. They are loyal and loving and sometimes rambunctious.
About: My first pet was a kitty named Sasha whom I adored for 16 years until she passed. My first love are kitties, and now I love all pets. However, all kitties have a special place in my heart. I love playing with them, petting them and even walking them if you would like. (On a leash of course)!
About: I am very experienced in taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Love teaching dogs new tricks. I have a highly active lifestyle and I will exercise your dog as much or however you want (walk, run, dog park, etc.). I guarantee they will be ready for a nap when you get them back! Your dog is welcome in my home and will be treated like family. They will be given as much attention and care as possible. I will try to accommodate any special needs/requests or schedules, please don’t be shy about asking for anything. Looking forward to caring for your four-legged family member!
About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel. I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals I have and host. During the week, I work part-time from home, and I am active throughout the day. I typically take morning, midday, and evening walks with my dog(s) and allow them to have free roam in the house and yard. I can offer flexibility to meet your pet's needs at my home or in yours. My home is pet-friendly, accommodating, and safe. I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas, and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.

Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes.

I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats.

“Jesse is very friendly. He guided us into his home with clear instructions. He took Sunny for a long walk with beautiful scenery along the road to release his energy. He took care of him very well by giving treats, cleaning him up after walk and settling him down in a very nice area of the home. Thank you for taking good care of my dog and I was able to enjoy visiting some places that are not dog friendly.”
“While visiting Carmel, we needed someone to care for our miniature Australian Shepherd for a day. With no experience leaving Blu with anyone locally, we chose David through Rover. We met David for an introductory visit and he gave us a tour of his excellent facilities, introduced Blu to his own dog and cat, and immediately put us all at ease. When our plans changed at the last minute, he was flexible and accommodating. At drop-off, Blu quickly settled into his surroundings, and the photos David shared showed he was comfortable and had made himself right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy—and pleasantly tired. We highly recommend David.”
“Denise is absolutely amazing! Phenomenal communication and care! Our Winnie girl had the time of her life at her house. We will definitely be reaching out to Denise for daycare the next time we are in Monterey.”
“Johemy was great! My little Brigid was so well cared for. I love leaving her with someone who is loving and caring. I appreciate how nurturing she was to her. I would definitely recommend!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from my teacup Pomeranian to my German Shepherd, as well as caring for puppies, senior pets, and cats. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means playtime and exercise, sticking to a routine, or providing extra patience and comfort. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Im currently working part time remote, so I have time to be with your pup! From spending time at the house, walks, park time and play time. I’m available during the week and weekends I have a box of toys and brain stimulating toys, I take my dogs to the park to keep them moving and social. I have a friendly social dog that you’re baby can be with or I easily crate your If needed.
“Dilan was very kind and attentive to our blind rescue poodle Sugar and Melody was a perfect canine host. In turn Sugar was extremely happy and calm even though she always had severe separation anxiety due to her condition. Dilan is very communicative and understanding so you can trust your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Huge thanks to Elizabeth! She's a wonderful dog sitter. My little baby was so well looked after while I explored the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my baby. So grateful for her care! She seemed so calm and content when I picked her up, clearly enjoyed her stay 🥰”

“Kalikonani is a lovely young lady who kindly cares for her dog and another small, older dog. She asked several questions before accepting the booking to be sure it would be a comfortable and safe environment for those (charming) dogs and mine. She gave me a detailed account of the entire time my dog was there with several photos. I would definitely book her again if I lived in the area or if I visit again.”
“Julia took fantastic care of our dog, Milo, while my husband and I went hiking in Big Sur. She went above and beyond to make sure that Milo had a fun day of adventure around town. It was clear that Julia was experienced and really loved dogs!”
“Nina is wonderful - the peace of mind we have leaving Cosmo with her is priceless. Cosmo is comfortable in her home, Nina is very attentive, and her yard is terrific. Highly recommended!”
“Athena watched our large breed dog for two nights in a row and we were extremely happy with how she took care of him and handled the entire process! She responds extremely quickly to all messages and was very friendly and happy to have Bruiser in her house, which was beautiful and very clean. We could tell she had prepared to watch Bruiser and listened to all of our notes and instructions for him. Bruiser can sometimes be antsy when in a new place or with strangers, but he seemed more at home with Athena than at our hotel! We are more than happy with Bruiser’s stay with Athena and will absolutely use her again next time we bring Bruiser to Carmel!”
“Kelly and her kids were amazing!! Typically, Hampton takes some time to warm up to people but he took to their family very quickly. Charlie is also very sweet. I loved how many photos and reassurance they provided throughout the day. Would absolutely recommend :)”
“Kristin was a wonderful host to our precious dog. You don’t have to be nervous about leaving your dog in Kristins hands. Her home gives off a very calm vibe which I know helps my dog settle and be comfortable in new places. Belle enjoyed the sunny backyard and deck and had a great stay overall. We also appreciate the photos of our pup sent to us during Belles stay. Thanks for taking such good care of our Belle Kritstin!”
“When I contacted Christina, she responded right away. She was sweet to send an update and pictures during the day she watched my dog. Next time we’re in town, I’ll be hoping to use her again.”

“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 am available most hours so can be very flexible. I am healthy and can keep up with the most demanding doggies. I have experience caring for medium and small dogs. I have a fenced in yard to use, if necessary. I can also travel in the area and care for your pooch where he or she is most familiar. You will find I am very easy to work with regarding hours and workdays or weekends. I am very attentive and will ensure your doggie is well hydrated and get the appropriate amount of exercise. I am confident that any future client will be very pleased with the care and attention their pets receive from me. Thank you for any consideration and I hope you find the right match for you furry family member. My calendar is pretty wide open these days because I'm studying for my phlebotomy classes, which means your pup gets my full attention (and gives me the perfect excuse to take a study break!). Fresh air, leisurely walks, and stopping to sniff every interesting bush? That's my specialty. I'm not in a rush, so your dog can set the pace, whether they're an energetic explorer or a professional squirrel watcher. Happy dog, happy me! Before your pup and I head out on any adventures, safety always comes first. With your permission, I'll use my own AirTag attached securely to your dog's collar for an extra layer of peace of mind while we're out and about. I'll also send plenty of photo updates as often as you'd like, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having and know they're safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!
“Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.”
About: I have the most experience with various dog breeds young and old. More recently I have grown to also love and care for cats. Most of my full time experience has been with my personal dogs. Zoe, an Australian Shepard, was a shining light in my life for 14 years. Prior to Zoe I had Max, a sweet and gentle Rottweiler I was with for 6 years. For the past 4 years I've been spending a lot of time caring for the beloved pets and homes of my friends and family. I'm a retired teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do some regular volunteer work with cancer patients a few hours each week. I walk or hike daily and a furry companion would be welcome. It's one of the main reasons I signed up for Rover! I am also now on Trusted Housesitters and have experience caring for pets in client's homes. I could have a pet in my home for short visits. I live near a lovely wooded trail that dogs LOVE.
About: Hello! I’m a pet parent to three cats and a senior Yorkie, as well as a trained Doggy Day Out volunteer at SPCA Monterey County. I love taking care of pets and giving you peace of mind. I believe in treating pets with kindness and using low-stress, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which gives me flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. For extended daytime or evening care beyond a standard walk or drop-in, feel free to reach out to discuss custom pricing. I will carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to any changes in your pet, and provide photo updates. I also hold an online Pet CPR & First Aid certification and a certificate of completion for Fear Free Shelter Program training. These trainings helped me learn how to recognize common warning signs, reduce pet stress, and take appropriate next steps in a pet emergency.
About: My boyfriend (& roommate) and I both have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. My boyfriend Will is also obsessed with both dogs and cats and gives them even more attention when he is home before and after work. While we are in the upper unit of a duplex, we have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!
About: I've had dogs nearly my entire life, enjoying them from puppyhood to senior age. As my kids grew up, I have also taken care of hamsters, bunnies, lizards, turtles, and parakeets. But most of all, I love dogs. My dog Rainie is an English lab, half chocolate/half yellow who loves playing with other dogs, especially other labs. I'm very familiar with the needs and limitations of senior dogs and can adapt our routines accordingly. I only host one dog at a time to ensure everyone gets enough peace and pettings. We can host caged pets at the same time (small reptiles and parakeets). I'm retired and can host your pet anytime with advance notice. My calendar will accurately indicate my availability. My regular routine includes walking and gardening with our guest dogs. I have a large fenced yard and a single level home 8 steps above ground. Your dog will spend most of their time wherever I happen to be and will be given regular potty breaks. Your dog will enjoy romping in the yard for extended periods under supervision, but will not be left unattended in the yard. Please provide detailed feeding and medication instructions and I will follow them to the letter. Tell me about your dog's special likes, dislikes, fears, and behavioral quirks so we can make dog feel at home. Your dog must be able to manage the steps to get in and out of the house, be willing to use the doggie ramp, or be small enough for me to carry up and down. Must be housebroken. Please provide crate if crate trained and more comfortable in the crate. Or, provide favorite bed or blanket. Otherwise, we have a collection of blankets. Please bring your dog's favorite toy. Some large dogs accepted, depending on size, breed, and degree of training. A meet and greet is a must for most dogs. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans will not be accepted under any circumstances. I realize that many individual dogs are very sweet, but as a rule, these breeds unnerve me, and the dog will sense that.
“Fantastic find! Marianne was quick to respond and maintained great communication throughout. We were visiting from out of town and hired her for daily walks. She was great with our 75 lb Labrador.”
“We loved having Mari watch our pup. Her calm, peaceful nature was exactly what I look for when leaving my doggo with someone new. If I lived here, I would not hesitate to have her come on a regular basis. Perfect! Thanks Mari 🐶”
About: I love all animals! I am attentive and genuinely care. I understand that pets are family members, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I would give my own. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive to detail, and committed to maintaining a pet's normal routine to reduce stress and provide consistency, to ensure both pets and their owners have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize their well-being. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. I understand the importance of reliability and communication, and I make your pet my priority. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I take pride in providing a loving, safe, and dependable presence while their families are away.
“Julia quickly became an essential help for me to get my dog Rocky stimulation and exercise that allowed me to focus on the primary reason for my trip! She is knowledgeable of all of the dog fun-spots and very aware of safety of the pets she cares for. Julie communicated often and it felt like I was along for the fun. She sent pictures that quickly became favorites on Facebook and most of all, she developed a bond with Rocky where he loved every visit and I could tell she enjoyed Rocky as well! I highly recommend Julia for all your pet needs in the Carmel area!”
About: Prior to now, I have owned two dog boutique hotels that I have personally built from the ground up. I am familiar with all kinds of doggies and their personalities. All doggies are special to me and will receive nothing but the best of care and affection. I am currently taking care of pups in your own home unless we discuss and or have made other arrangements. I am also a commissioned artist so I would not be leaving to another job, your pup(s) would be my only concern. I might go run a couple errands, grocery store, etc... but I would enjoy just being home with your pups and painting, exercising them, playing with them or just doing whatever they are familiar in doing with you. As to your own personal instructions only. I understand, every dog has their own individual personality and each puppy has special needs. I will accompany each puppy as you wish.
About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Katt is an incredible dog walker! From the moment she arrived, my dogs were instantly comfortable with her. She was warm, attentive, smart, and asked all the right questions. She came prepared with a fantastic treat bag and a solid understanding and positive reinforcement. She handled my two energetic dogs with ease and confidence, and I immediately felt at ease knowing they were great hands. I couldn’t have been happier to find her - highly recommend just after one walk!”
About: I have shared my life with pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. I previously worked as a 5-star Rover pet sitter before taking time away to care for my grandfather full-time. I’m now excited to return and build my Rover profile again. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ve had the privilege of working with people and, on occasion, supporting pets alongside their owners, including animals facing serious health challenges. Those experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, and attentiveness. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they always have fresh food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Claudia has been great to work with! She’s been very understanding of my concerns about this high auto-traffic area, and she’s been fantastic with my dog, who just adores her! Very trustworthy and reliable!”
About: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.

“Asta was wonderful. She met me well in advance to let our dogs meet to make sure they would get along, she was very amenable about an early morning drop off so we could make an early flight, and she sent lots of pictures throughout my pup's stay. She also gave him his medications and took great care of him. He was healthy and happy when I picked him up. Couldn't be happier.”
“Athena opened up her home to Chestnut on a short notice. Our pup had enough room to walk about and sniff. Drop off ad pick up were easy and her communication was quick. Definitely will be utilizing her services again”
“This was my pup Callie’s first experience with an in-home boarder, and she had a great time! Shayne is very nice and was happy to give her plenty of exercise during the stay. This is the first time I have used Rover and I am very happy with everything. I would happily recommend sending your pups to stay with Shayne!”
“Angie was great! We have a 2 year old Goldendoodle and his 5 month old son (1/2 Siberian Husky). They’re quiet a handful together. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else and were a little nervous but I felt super comfortable leaving our dogs with Angie. She sent me photos frequently and communicated very well with me. It looks like our dogs had a great time during their stay with her during the 3 days! I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Bridget did a great job with Buddy. Buddy loved hanging with his new friends, even her 2 kitty's. I received daily updates with pictures. We would engage Bridget's services again.”

“Maria and Gregory just took wonderful care of our dog Jasper. They were kind, attentive and made sure he got plenty of exercise together with their own dog. They sent daily photos, giving us the ability to know he was in safe hands and so we could relax and enjoy our trip. We had total peace of mind knowing Jasper was in a great home, and we will definitely book them again!”
“Helen took great care of my almost 10 week kitten! I was a little nervous since he was so young but I could tell she (and her family) loved him like their own for the week she watched him. She sent me photos and videos every day, which was awesome too.”
“Nicole was amazing! She treated my pup like her own and made sure he was well loved while we were away. She was also great about keeping me updated. She would let me know how my boy was doing everyday, accompanied with a photo of him; this allowed me to not worry about him and enjoy my trip. Thank you Nicole!”
