Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elsa

“Here’s a short, positive review you can use: We booked one night of boarding with audrianna while we explored pinnacles national park where she lives near by and had a great experience with her. Our olive was well cared for, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to two pups of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My dogs have very different personalities, which has given me experience with both calm, easygoing dogs and larger, high-energy ones who need structure and engagement. I also have light experience with cats and am comfortable respecting their space and routines. Safety and consistency matter a lot to me. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and try to maintain your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Emma will not disappoint you. She will take excellent care of your pets just the way you want it done. Her love for animals and understanding of their needs is evident. My semi feral cats show up when she arrives instead of hiding. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛”

“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.”

“Emily stayed at our home with our two kitties for 5 weeks while we were on vacation. Our older cat had a medical problem and had surgery while we were gone and Emily took care of everything. She was in contact with us with updates, etc. we are very appreciative. Emily loves animals and is very dependable, intelligent and caring. We will definitely have her back.”

“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.”

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.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary professional with 6.5 years of experience in animal medicine, including 2 years in emergency and specialty care. Animals are my life and my career — I genuinely love what I do. Whether your pet needs medication administered, has special medical needs, or just needs lots of love while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I’m communicative, reliable, and will keep you updated every step of the way so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I’m regularly available Saturday through Monday each week, making me a great option for weekend getaways, short trips, and Monday holiday travel. I work in veterinary emergency medicine during the week so my schedule is consistent and reliable — when I’m available for your pet, they have my full attention. Please note that I occasionally pick up Saturday shifts at the hospital, so I recommend reaching out a week or two in advance for weekend bookings so I can confirm my availability. I always communicate promptly and will never leave you without plenty of notice. When I’m in your home, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I always follow your instructions carefully — feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, behavioral quirks — nothing gets overlooked. I’ve spent 6.5 years in veterinary medicine learning that every animal is an individual, and I bring that same attentive, personalized approach to every visit and stay. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet is fed, watered, exercised, and given plenty of genuine attention — not just a quick check in and out. During house sitting stays I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet as if they were my own patient. I maintain their routine as closely as possible so they experience minimal stress in your absence. As an emergency and specialty veterinary professional I’m also trained to recognize early warning signs of illness or distress that most pet sitters wouldn’t notice — changes in breathing, appetite, behavior, mobility, or energy levels. If anything seems off I will contact you immediately and if necessary can coordinate directly with your veterinarian given my medical background. I send photo and video updates throughout every visit and stay so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. I know how hard it is to leave your animal behind — my goal is to make that as easy as possible for both of you.

Marking sure the pet is secure, safe, fed and watered. Also making sure feeding and bedding area is clean and safe. Animals are always fed before self.

About: Since I was a teenager I've been trusted by neighbors, family and friends to house sit and care for their dogs and animals. I'm well versed in caring for animals of every kind, including small chihuahuas to large golden retrievers, or shy cats to hyper kittens. I'm knowledgeable in caring for a home, sticking to a schedule for animals, and making sure everything is well taken care of. I'm available to check in on animals usually after 2pm and early in the morning if it fits with my work schedule. Everything is up to change depending on time of year and my life. I personally don't have the means to care for animals in my home at the moment. But for clients I am very good at sticking to a schedule, and making sure their animals are safe and well cared for.

About: Im currently in Graduate school online so when I will have lots of time to spend with your pet.

“Oscar was great! We had to find someone last minute and he was very flexible coming over last minute to meet our dog and to figure out a plan for the time we were away. He left us great updates and was very responsive when we messaged him, so we never felt worried about our dog while trying to enjoy our vacation.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Harrah for our dogs care needs for years now, both with dog walking and with house/pet sitting. We can not recommend her enough! Many times over the years when we are hours away for a family outing, we message to ask if she is available at some point the next day (or even the same day) and Harrah comes to the rescue — we are so grateful for this. Harrah is always incredibly communicative, friendly, respectful, and kind. She pays full attention to the details when we have specific needs or changes in the care for our dogs, and she is never shy at to ask questions to make sure the dogs are taken care of how we need. It says it all when we see our dogs react when she stops by, and it means the world that we can leave for the day or an extended vacation knowing our dogs will receive the best care possible. Thank you for all you do for us Harrah, we appreciate you and your service.”

About: Dog sand cat sitting, waste pickup, housekeeping, senior care, potty training, basic command training (sit, e.g.), bathing and brushing, endless cuddles and playtime. These are just the tip of the iceberg! I am committed to making sure your furry family members feel at home, safe, and happy while with me. Pets are part of daily life for all of us and I want to honor that by providing them a routine. Typically I will schedule in walks or outings, playtime, feeding time, grooming time, etc., depending on the animal and their usual routines. I do my best to match what you have created already but may need to adjust here or there for other appointments that pop up for me. I prefer to care for your pets in your home as that is where they will be most comfortable. It’s best to maintain a routine with animals, especially when their family is away. I want to limit any additional stress while still providing plenty of fun time and rest. While in your home, I can also clean or organize. I do not take up space and am happy to be there only as much as is requested by you.

“Becky is the best! She took great care of our girl and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much.”
