About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the past 7 years from puppy stage to them being almost 7 and 8. One of my dogs is adopted, so I can provide a safe haven for dogs that don’t trust easily. I can do afternoon walks, or overnight care if needed. I have a home with a yard and enough space for them to play inside or outside. I have two dogs that I’ve had for almost 3 years and I care for them like they are my kids. So of course I’m a dog lover. I’m super attentive to everything especially a change in dogs behavior and I’m really big on communication because I know how stressful it can be when you’re traveling away from your pet. There is also a vet down the street from me that I take my dogs to in case anything ever happens. My dogs are both calm (I have a mutt and a corgi) and they love meeting new dogs. However, I can only do boarding at my place because of this reason.
“Gabriel did an amazing job with taking care of our two german shepherds over the weekend. He was very communicative and allowed them to spend time inside with his family. We are grateful to having found his dog boarding services and will definitely consider him in the future for either boarding or training. Thank you Gabe & family!”
“I knew the moment I met Mike and Lynne that my Lily was a great hands. They were so inviting to both of us and warmly greeted us at the sidewalk. They inquired about Lily's routine for eating and taking her allergy medication. Mike sent photos to me daily of their walks, usually with a sweet note as if it was written from my pup. When I picked her up, she was so comfortable in their home as they allowed her have the run of the house. I feel comfortable in saying that I will use them the next time I have plans to go out of town.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
“Fantastic sitter! Citali was attentive, followed all instructions, and truly helped my anxious dog feel at ease. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care, and he seemed happy and comfortable in her home. Highly recommend!”

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!”
“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.”

“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my anxious little dog, Augie!! I had never left him overnight before and both Augie and myself were nervous, but Bridget assured me that she was kind, patient, and a true dog lover! I could tell by all of the great photos that she sent that Augie was not only fine, more than comfortable and having fun! He walked and socialized with Bridget’s dog Finley and was even calm and curious when meeting her cats! I can’t more highly recommend Bridget, and I will absolutely have Augie stay with her again!”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family.

“Jesse's home was just the right place for my needy little pup. I know Buster got lots of attention and snuggles from Jesse and his family. Will feel comfortable having Buster stay here again. Thanks Jesse and company!”
“We were very nervous leaving Afi for the first time with someone outside of family overnight because he is truly our baby, but Mahrukh & Jax made the entire experience so comfortable for us. We were updated with pictures, without asking and she was always easy to contact and responded promptly. We could tell Afi was well cared for and loved. We really appreciate her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Jenna was pleasant and professional when caring for my cat Bella. She sent photos and updates, and I really appreciated that spent the whole 30 minutes trying to find Bella who wouldn't come out of hiding. Jenna made sure that Bella had water on the front porch and left her some treats, confirmed that Bella wasn't out on the street. She even walked around the neighborhood looking for Bella, and saw the cat that Bella doesn't like hanging out on my back fence. This explains why Bella wasn't interested in socializing. Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your care.”

“Sophia did an excellent job replenishing the wet food in my cats' refrigerated feeders. She also topped off the water fountains. Highly recommend her to handle pet care even when you use high tech equipment like me!”
About: Taking them on walks to burn energy and fress air, cleaning up message they made, are feed, playing with them, and make sure they well cared for while their parents are busy. Have class on Tuesday-Thursday and in college but they aren't super long except Tuesday long and I can't drive. But I have a lot of freed time ( it depends ) Will I follow the owners rules for their house and make sure the dog isn't doing anything that it shouldn't and that everything is ok and that the dog didn't make a mess if so I'll clean it up.

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.

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.
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”
“Wonderful!!! Jill kept me updated on how our boy was doing throughout the day with both wonderful pictures and extremely comforting messages! She expressed how happy they were to have him and that made us feel so good! 10/10!”
“Jayla was very accomodating taking my dog with my last minute request. She was great- she sent me photos of my dog and updating me the entire day. She also took my dog walking, fed her, made her take naps, and let her play in the dog park. She is very nice and accomodating. ☺️”
About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and will provide excellent care for your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give them the same level of attention, safety, and compassion I would expect for my own pet. I have experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies. I understand the importance of providing gentle, patient, and attentive care to older dogs. In addition, my fiancé and I adopted a 2.5 month old puppy in May 2022. Her name is Lola, and we successfully trained her through her puppy years. She is now two years old and is a cattle dog, husky, and border collie mix. I am also experienced with high-energy dogs that require plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. My fiancé and I have lived in Marina, CA for two years, and I am very familiar with local parks and great places for dog walking. I also have hands-on experience caring for cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Our dog Lola also has food allergies, which has given me experience managing special diets. I also have experience administering medications when needed to dogs, cats, and rodents of all ages. I also have experience cat sitting, and truly enjoy working with animals of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. If you have any questions about my experience or qualifications, please feel free to reach out-I’d be happy to connect! -Kenzie B.

On weekdays, I have availability before work, during my lunch break (12:00–1:30 PM), and after work to check on and care for your pets. I am typically available at any time on weekends and can offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs. I will carefully follow all of your instructions to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met.

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.

About: I have loved caring for cats and dogs since I was a child. I pride myself on my ability to read animal body language and gain their trust at their own pace. I also have plenty of experience training animals. For example, my cat currently knows how to sit, lay, and spin! I have administered many different kinds of medications to both cats and dogs. My friends and family members also trust me to care for their senior dogs (a chihuahua, a goldendoodle, and a yorkie mix). I’m very attentive and make sure they have everything they need and give them lots of cuddles! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and kittens. I try to always match my energy level to the animal I’m caring for. I’m happy to play, hike, and run around with the more energetic babies and take it slow and cuddle/chill with the lazier or older ones I try my best to give personalized care to each animal, since they’re all unique and have their own little quirks. I also have experience with some skiddish, shy, and unsure animals. I work very hard to make them feel safe and show them the gentleness and care that they deserve. For boarding, there is a wonderful cat in my home. He is playful, but gentle and loves dogs very much. I can only board dogs that are okay with cats, but I’m very confident that I’d be able to do a slow introduction with a dog that has never met a cat before. I’m currently a medical student, but I only have to be on campus for a few hours each week. My partner who lives with me works full time, but she works from home Mondays and Fridays and is happy to help care for animals on those days. Our weekends are entirely free for animal care! Our apartment complex has a fenced-in grassy area that is large enough to accommodate larger dogs. If I’m coming to your home, I’ll make sure your pet’s water bowl is full and that they feel happy and loved.
“Citlali was super responsive, flexible, and just great. Super appreciate her dealing with my last minute and changing needs! My dog is usually very hesitant going to new people/places but she was surprisingly comfortable with her, her husband, and cat 😊”
“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”
“Jawharrah has exceeded our expectations! Not only was she so kind to accept our short notice request, but she went above and beyond as a pet sitter. She kept an open line of communication and shared many pictures throughout the day. Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter who showed so much care for our pup. Thank you again for everything.”
About: I have the utmost respect for life in all forms. Years experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation and fostering animals. Grew up training dogs and target training chickens and fish.

“Christie was very sweet to my babies, was prompt and communicated well. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know my pups, home and concerns. I always worry that my pups are just wild and not following our normal and ongoing training with walkers and sitters. However, during our introductions Christie seemed comfortable correcting behaviors like jumping and chewing. The pups were sad when she left which is a great sign to me!”
“Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!”
“Chrystina did an amazing job on her first solo walk with our dogs, especially with Lola, who can be a bit timid and nervous with new people. Her patience and dedication were truly impressive—she took the time to earn Lola’s trust and even found creative ways to get her comfortable. We really appreciate how attentive and caring she was, keeping us updated throughout and ensuring both dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you, Chrystina, for going above and beyond—we’re very grateful!”

About: My I have been a cat and a dog owner before. It's been about three years since I've owned a pet for personal reasons. I'm very patient and kind, I would do my very best in caring for any pet I am to watch over no matter what. I live with my grandmother who has a dog herself, so when she's at work or goes out of town I watch over her dog for her. At the moment I have open availability. I'm looking into going to school for the fall semester. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want my career to be. Getting into dog sitting is going to help me determine if I want to work more with animals and make it apart of my career.
“I had a great experience with Jenna! She was extremely professional and punctual. Her friendly demeanor made me very comfortable with her walking Maxwell. You can tell that she absolutely loves animals! After the walk, Maxwell was in a very good mood, extremely happy, and is now taking a power nap. I will definitely trust Jenna to take Maxwell on another walk in the very near future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved being around them my whole life. For over a year, I’ve been taking care of my coworkers’ dogs and really enjoy getting to know each one’s personality. I also have a dog of my own, and we go on long walks every day, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine. I work during the week and offer dog sitting and walks on weekends, when I’m able to give pets my full attention and lots of care. In the home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and safe. Dogs are always supervised, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Training and commands take time and patience.over and over the same routine.the rewards come when the pet understands.this can come in the form of playtime. 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: 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.

“Gabriel did an amazing job with taking care of our two german shepherds over the weekend. He was very communicative and allowed them to spend time inside with his family. We are grateful to having found his dog boarding services and will definitely consider him in the future for either boarding or training. Thank you Gabe & family!”
“I knew the moment I met Mike and Lynne that my Lily was a great hands. They were so inviting to both of us and warmly greeted us at the sidewalk. They inquired about Lily's routine for eating and taking her allergy medication. Mike sent photos to me daily of their walks, usually with a sweet note as if it was written from my pup. When I picked her up, she was so comfortable in their home as they allowed her have the run of the house. I feel comfortable in saying that I will use them the next time I have plans to go out of town.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
“Fantastic sitter! Citali was attentive, followed all instructions, and truly helped my anxious dog feel at ease. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care, and he seemed happy and comfortable in her home. Highly recommend!”
“Can’t express enough how WONDERFUL our experience was with Karina! She went above and beyond for our little 12 week old golden retriever. Sent us updates and pictures. Bathed her! Spoiled her with a lot of play time and her personal favorite, car rides!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my anxious little dog, Augie!! I had never left him overnight before and both Augie and myself were nervous, but Bridget assured me that she was kind, patient, and a true dog lover! I could tell by all of the great photos that she sent that Augie was not only fine, more than comfortable and having fun! He walked and socialized with Bridget’s dog Finley and was even calm and curious when meeting her cats! I can’t more highly recommend Bridget, and I will absolutely have Augie stay with her again!”
“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!”
“Carol was fantastic!! Mocha loved her and was excited to go with Carol from day one. Carol has a sweet disposition and is serious about taking care of animals. She send photos and videos. We will use Carol next time we are back in Pebble Beach!! Thanks Carol!!”
“Denise clearly is passionate about caring for dogs! She was easy to communicate with and made sure our pups were well cared for with daily walks, trips to the beach, and plenty of other canine companions! We felt assured that the girls were in good hands for their extended stay.”
“Stasha came through on a last min booking. She gave us updates every day, and Bruno was so happy in all the pics. She will definitely be our first choice next time Bruno needs a sitter.”
“We were very nervous leaving Afi for the first time with someone outside of family overnight because he is truly our baby, but Mahrukh & Jax made the entire experience so comfortable for us. We were updated with pictures, without asking and she was always easy to contact and responded promptly. We could tell Afi was well cared for and loved. We really appreciate her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“An amazing dog sitter! Left my 13yo dog, Pumpkin, with Asta for a week and she had a great time. I received so many pictures while I was on vacation so I knew Pumpkin was doing well and enjoying her time with Asta and her dog. I can't recommend her enough 😄”
“Ollie clearly had a wonderful time hanging out with Marion and all of the other puppies :-) she spoiled him with walks and he even ended up fancying one of the other dogs she was watching when he’s normally just interested in people. I absolutely trust leaving Ollie in Marion’s care and I don’t say that lightly. He’s my child and I’m so glad we found her. We love Monterey and will likely be coming back regularly and keeping ollie with her. Thanks Marion for the excellent care!!”
“Samantha was very active with Zoe and kept me informed throughout her entire stay. Her flexibility made my trip stress free and it was nice knowing Zoe was doing good the whole time. I am so grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future.”
