“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!”
“Jill was so amazing with our dog, Meike! We were so nervous to leave her for the first time, but she was in great hands. Jill was amazing at giving her love and making her feel comfortable. She also made sure to play with her daily. We loved the daily updates and pictures. We would recommend Jill and will definitely be contacting her if we need a pet sitter in the future. She’s amazing!”
About: I have a deep love and passion for animals. I have cared for many types including cats, dogs, snakes, rabbits, even insects! I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have a great deal of experience handling animals from all walks of life. I recently relocated, so I am offering discounted rates as well as a promo code for first time Rover users: DANIEA95969 If you have a dog with reactivity, I am happy to help! Reactivity can be a stressful matter for owners to endure with their pet, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to be outside and explore. Feel free to message me with questions if you would like to set up walks with your reactive dog. I also have experience with senior dog care including walking challenges, diaper changes, and oral medication. No matter the breed or size, I will care for them like my own. I am happy to do day walks, at-home visits, overnights, boarding etc. I will do my best to accommodate any repeat clients as I want your pets to feel bonded and comfortable with me! I will always put your pet's comfort and happiness first! I know with my own dog that trusting a stranger with your fur baby can be nerve wracking, but I can assure you, your pet will be in great hands.
“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!”
“Helen was a great caretaker for my dog! She was quick to communicate, shared pictures of her playing with my dog multiple times over the 2 day watch, and I could just tell me dog was happy and well exercised upon pickup. Would definitely book again! Thanks Helen!”
About: I was a Kennel technician for a dog shelter In Texas. I have also raised 4+ dogs over the course of my life (two were family dogs). I am currently open to any day of the week for some services. Although for other services Monday through Friday will have to be flexible. I have a dog park in our neighborhood, lots of sidewalks that I love walking our dogs in. I have one sweet dogs that can keep your fur baby company and one cat as well. My dog is crate trained and can be kennel and separate if needed!
“Denise is the best! I was dreading leaving my dog and Denise reassured me before and during shortie’s stay. She sent me many updates. Shortie had a BLAST!!!!! I feel so much better now knowing that there is someone I can trust leaving shortie with. Thank you so much for taking care of Shortie!!!!!”
“I do not exaggerate when I say that I love love loved Jayla and her services! She was so attentive, caring, communicative (always sent pics & messages) and understanding. I am constantly moving and finding a new person to leave my babies Rocco and Benjii with is so difficult. I’ve tried multiple people from my area, however, NONE compares to her. She understands how my Benjii is a bit socially awkward and prefers his space but my Rocco is just crazy and wants to love everyone and everything. She respected both their boundaries and needs. I will leave my most precious treasures with her again in a heartbeat!! Thank you again Jayla for everything, I really appreciate the love and care you gave them! 🫶🏼🥺”
“Dilan was incredibly responsive! Even with my last-minute request, he was able to take great care of my dog, Rambo. Communication was excellent throughout, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I’ll definitely book with him again the next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Samuel and Yuchen were great! They responded immediately to every check in and sent lots of photos loving on our sweet golden retriever. Will use them again if we’re ever in the area!!”
“Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶”
“Johemy was great! Excellent communication from time of booking and sent pictures and updates while my dogs were with her. They obviously liked her because they weren't overly excited when I came to pick up like they always are when I come home. She was very detailed about wanting specific details about feeding, going outside, sleeping, toys, treats, etc. and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them. We will definitely use her again. That being said, I probably wouldn't take a large dog because of it being a small apartment but it was perfectly fine for our small dogs.”
About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time
“Christina was great! Incredibly responsive, sent lots of photos and videos and updates to us which helped put us at ease. Her and her family are true dog lovers 🤍”
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”

“Azia was an amazing sitter. No matter the holidays and inclement weather, was on top of care and would send daily updates. The love and care for animals definitely shown through. I am sure that I will return to request Azia to look after my goofy little cat 🐈⬛”
About: I have been cat sitting for over 5 years now and specialize in drop in sessions! I have done many over the years and it’s one of my favorite services to provide! I have always lived with cats so I understand their behaviors very well and use that knowledge to give the cats I care for the best experience! I am a fast learning and I’m willing to do anything that will make your cat feel comfortable and cared for!
About: I have taken care of cats ever since I was 8 years old, just like my dog experience. I have had my own cats for about 6 years. My family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to be good with their cats!
About: I’m attentive and I have a really good reaction time! I’m also a kind and caring individual, I love animals a lot! I had two dogs in my family and I took care of them. With them, I was able to learn how dogs think and what their needs are! I’m taking a small break from my university right now, so I have plenty of time to take your beloved pups and take care of your cats! I’m free for majority of the time, just let me know! I had a dog named Spanky, he was my childhood dog who unfortunately passed away recently. He was apart of my family so he wasn’t just a pet to me. I had a schedule for him and he would take daily walks around the neighborhood and beach. He would also eat at certain times with good quality food to keep him moving and grooving. He lived a long and happy life!
About: Hi there! I currently have a cat (got him in 2020, when he was six months old!) and he is the light of my life! I go above and beyond to take care of him, and treat all animals the same way. I’m actually in college to go down the vet route :) My cousin has 2 dogs (a multipoo + pomeranian) which I help take care of quite often! I help with walks, bathing, picking up after, playing, and giving lots of love to <3 Your pet deserves the sweetest treatment, which I am to ensure!
“Awesome sitter!! Mackenzie does anything she needs to do in order to ensure your baby is happy. Very attentive to their needs and the instructions of what needs to be done. Definitely recommend!!”
“Arlena is excellent! She follows instructions and is very dependable, and she gives cute daily updates. My cats immediately liked her which was awesome because one of them tends to be scared of new people for a few days. She takes good care of your animals and shows them love. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've had dogs and a variety of pets since I was a child. Trained a few of my dogs at petsmart. Exhibited a couple of my dogs at AKC dog shows for a few years. All my dogs are well behaved, socialized with humans and other animals in the home. Preventative health care, vet visits when necessary, and my current dog has health insurance. I am a non-medical senior caregiver through an agency. Going to further my education in fall 2027 I'd like prioritize my job hours during the weekends. My schedule is open for now and will be adjusted on the app. I will also increase my range in distance, due to cost in gas. From experience, safety is #1. I consider myself a responsible person and pet owner as well. None the less, i treat others as how I like to be treated.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m the person my friends and family trust with their pets because they know I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and patience I would give my own. I have experience with senior pets, special-needs pets, oral and injected medications, and pets with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep your pet comfortable while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I work full time, but I’m very intentional about the bookings I accept and will only commit when I know I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I’m an early riser and available for morning care, as well as evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, medications, walking routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. You can also count on regular photos and updates, so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.
“Javid did a wonderful job caring for my chickens and tortoise during a multi-day trip. Having reliable pet care is so important to enjoy time away from home visiting friends and family. Thank you, Javid!”
About: I have had my own and taken care of many different cats (orange, black, tabby) and am good as following directions and respecting the needs of each one. With a kitten of my own, I’m more than happy to provide some play time, feeding, or anything needed!
About: Although I’m a pet lover, cats are definitely my favorite! I treat every kitty like my own family member with endless love and gentle head scratches. I provide reliable drop-in visits with fresh water, yummy food, and clean litter boxes.
“Amber was always on time to take care of my pets. She gave them affection and play in addition to my regular care requests. I received pictures and or videos from each visit. Amber communicated and responded quickly when I had a question. I will absolutely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others. I have used other local pet sitting companies within the last 6 months and I was very unhappy with their services. I am very pleased to have used Rover and worked with Amber. Working with Amber allowed me to enjoy myself on vacation while I was away from my pets.”
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: What sets me apart is the genuine love and one on one attention I give every pet. I treat your dog or cat like family, not just a job. I also send daily updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to give pets my full attention whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. 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.

“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! 🐾❤️”
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. ❤️
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!”
“Best possible sitter I could have ever dreamed of! I was in town for a concert and Jayla took the absolute best care of my dog. Absolutely recommend having her watch your pet. They'll be cared for and happy. ☺️”
“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!
“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”
“Mary and her daughter are an amazing care team. Our Dane was happy and well exercised when we we picked him up. He gets lots of people time, and especially enjoyed Mary's cooling mat for dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 15 for my neighbor and I have loved it ever since. After that I started pet sitting and walking for any of my friends when they needed! About 2 years ago I got a dog of my own as well, he’s a black lab named talford so I’m great with big hyper dogs as well as any other dog with different personality! I also work at pacific pet treats and can help with any treats or item that can help your doggy! I’m currently working part time and I have a lot of time in my day to take care of pets as well as on the weekends! Weekend’s I’m usually working 5am so I’m done for the rest of the day after that! I have a huge backyard with only my black lab who uses all the space, he is very friendly and needs another doggo friend! There is plenty of safe toys and running space for your doggo! In my clients home I will be respectful and care for the dog per instructions as every dog is cared for in a different way! I will also take care of kitties!!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also attended veterinary assistant school, where I gained additional knowledge and experience in animal care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. ❤️🐾 Plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for pet care throughout the day and can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m excited to meet your fur babies! 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have an indoor-only cat-friendly home with cat trees and enrichment toys. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine, and I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pets receive the care they’re used to.
“Amber took great care of my doggone. They went on adventures and my dog was returned sleepy and happy! Amber had treats ready at drop off to make the transition easier. She made sure to check for any issues she'd need to know of. I was confident with Amber taking care of my pup. He had a great time!”
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.
“Sam and Yuchen provided daycare for us while we did a quick half day to the aquarium. Elphie is new to rover day care and they did amazing and accommodating. They are also super quick to reply whenever I sent a message which is a whole 5 stars in its own. Will definitely contact them again for dog sitting when we are in the area”
About: I've taken care of all different sizes of dogs since I was 14! From King Charles Cavaliers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, to chihuahuas! I am home all day and able to take them on potty breaks as needed :) I'm currently on summer break from school so I am able to give your pets all the love and attention they may need! I'm not working over the summer so pet care will be my full priority! Our apartment complex has a fenced-dog park and we have a very sweet and friendly golden retriever puppy to give your pet company! We also live in a very safe neighborhood to take your pet on walks!
“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 🥰”
About: I grew up around animals, working on my grandparents’ ranch and helping to care for horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve always found working with animals to come quite naturally for me. I first began pet sitting during high school, and in recent years I’ve fostered for local rescue organizations, taking care of and helping to socialize dogs who are up for adoption. My husband and I adopted our own rescue, Leroy, in February 2020 and are so grateful we did! I work from home during the week, and enjoy breaking up my workday with nature walks. Leroy and I love spending time with other dogs, and especially enjoy taking them with us to explore our beautiful neighborhood! I tend to talk often to Leroy and the dogs I’m caring for, and treat them more like little humans. The dogs I grew up with were treated like members of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and respect. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible and adaptable depending on the needs of the animal I’m caring for. We have a big, grassy, fully-fenced yard and a doggy door for pups to enjoy indoor/outdoor access as they please. As an example of my routine for my own dog (and when I have furry guests!), I usually take Leroy for a morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and a hike or beach walk in the afternoon/early evening, plus a short potty walk after dinner. I prefer to visit for a meet-and-greet before scheduling any bookings, so that I can get to know you and your pet. I only board or provide doggy day care for dogs who get along well with other dogs, as they will be spending their time with my dog Leroy as well. I like to have an in-depth understanding of their typical daily schedule, so that I can stick to it closely during our time together. My goal is for your pet to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible, which to me means sticking to their usual routine and activities. I will follow your directions to a tee, and be in contact with updates regularly to keep you informed. If I'm house sitting, dog walking, or doing drop ins, I am happy to care for non-social pups as well. I'll treat your space with the utmost care and respect.
“Denise was great with our puppy Bruce. She checked in several times to give updates and send pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our new puppy in her care. Thank you so much, Denise. We really appreciate your quick response to our last minute request to care for our pup!”
“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: Growing up , I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including breeds from gentle lap dogs like spaniels to high-energy blue heelers. I've also provided specialized care for cats and dogs with unique needs, including precious puppies, elders, and even reptile companions. Im and early riser and night-owl.

About: I have experience potty training puppies, and administrating multiple medications for dogs if needed! I can also walk your dogs and send pictures every day while I am taking care of them. I’m a student at CSUMB, so I will be available mostly on weekends (Friday included). I don’t mind going a bit out of my way, within reason. I take care of my pets as best as I can, and will try my best to clean up after both your pet and myself if necessary! I believe in short maintenance cleaning daily as opposed to cleaning everything all at once.

I had a schedule for him and he would take daily walks around the neighborhood and beach. He would also eat at certain times with good quality food to keep him moving and grooving. He lived a long and happy life!

About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!

She also made sure to play with her daily. We loved the daily updates and pictures. We would recommend Jill and will definitely be contacting her if we need a pet sitter in the future. She’s amazing!”

“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!”

About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would 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.”
“All I can say is that Asja was a complete professional. We have a large German Sheppard with a ton on energy and we have never left him with anyone before so we were worried he’d be too much. However, Asja took such great care of him, everyday taking him for walks or to the park, giving him love and attention, and communicating with us daily. He was clearly well taken care of and very well loved. We 100% recommend Asja for any pet services. She is the best we could ever have hoped for!”
“Nicole is Amazing and our boys felt right at home with her! She was prompt in her communication with us and tended to our boys needs. We will Absolutely come back to her because our boys were in the best of hands and so loved!!!”
“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!!”
“Our pet had a fantastic experience with Molly and her family. Molly and her family were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Molly was extremely supportive, accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend Molly, and we will return our pet to Molly again in the future.”
