“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.”
“My dogs are older and require special care, among that insulin injections. Nicole did a great job taking care of them and provided daily updates. I felt comfortable knowing they were under her care and would definitely go to Nicole again.”
“This was the first time my dog stays in a sitter's home while I went on a 10-day vacation out of the country. I'm very pleased that Jesse and his son Christopher took good care of my dog. We were able to communicate during my trip using the Rover app and also I could see my dog on screen using Skype video call. Thanks to Jesse and his family, now I feel more comfortable leaving my dog behind when I'm out of town.”
“Marion was great with our dog Dolce. Marion is patient and understands dogs well. Dolce got plenty of exercise with daily walks, and became very comfortable quickly. Will definitely use Marion in the future.”
“Gabriel was easy to work with and very flexible for pick up and drop off. He sent several pictures and updates over our dog's weekend stay. Our dog is a total couch potato and sleeps in our bed at night. Gabriel was willing to let him do that in his care. I have already booked him for our next vacation.”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Janessa was amazing with my little fur son! I have never left him alone for more than 4 hours at home let alone with someone I just met for a few night stay! 😣 BUT, Janessa and Nalla were so attentive to my boy and his needy mom (me😬). I got multiple updates, pictures, videos, FaceTimes, as well as me constantly checking in. She even got him to go from sitting at the door waiting for us to come back, to listening to commands for a treat❤️ She took him out for multiple walks and even got him to eat after the first day of not eating! I had a meat and greet with Janessa, Nalla, max and myself and I’m so glad I did. When I dropped off Max for his actual stay, he was a bit more ok and curious of the space. Nalla is so sweet and just wanted to play. Such a sweetheart! Thank you so much Janessa for putting this over protective mom at ease even if max wasn’t sure at first. I will definitely rebook for overnights and possibly days to help max be more comfortable and able to play with Nalla❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Bruno had a great time with Velsia. She is awesome in so many ways. The updates/pics/videos were very appreciated for it gave us piece of mind that Bruno was in good hands. Definitely will use her services again and we already recommended her to our friends. I’m sure Bruno is looking forward to go stay with Velsia again.”
“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.”
“Asta was absolutely amazing with our Sadie girl. She kept me posted several times a day on how she was doing and sent many pictures which I appreciated. Asta is wonderful with communication and got back to me right away and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend Asta to watch your fur baby and will use her again for future dog sitting. Thanks Asta for giving our girl so much love!”

About: Active, responsible caregiver providing loving attention and daily exercise. Experience with senior dog care, my focus is safety, comfort and fun! Also love cats very much. I have a flexible schedule and can pop in to care for your pets at different times during the day. Happy to do extended 60 minute visits as needed. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention during every visit. Please always feel free to leave special instructions- medications etc. Have cared for Diabetic dogs as well.
“Lisa gave very detailed updates each visit and made sure Bea was well cared for — cleaning the litter boxes, refreshing all water bowls, and feeding her properly. She even spent time playing and petting Bea once she came out of hiding. Really appreciated her thoroughness and communication!”
About: I specialize in providing patient, fear-free in-home care for cats who need a little extra time, understanding, and specialized attention. Whether your feline companion is a shy rescue who needs their boundaries respected, a sweet senior managing a medical routine, or an independent spirit who takes a while to warm up to new humans, I am here to meet them exactly where they are at their own pace.
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
“Very attentive to my cat’s needs! Super friendly and will make sure to get the job done. Awesome communication, very observant with what my cat needed. Definitely recommend!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life and have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped care for kittens and cats, including bottle feeding young kittens and helping stray cats in need. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to create a calm and safe environment for cats to feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic care, and giving cats attention at their own comfort level. Whether your cat is energetic, shy, affectionate, or independent, I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“Christie is a great cat visitor. This is the second time she has been in to look after my kitties. Christie sends great photos and videos in addition to the normal cat duties. Thank you Christie!”
About: From daily walks to personalized playtime and attentive feeding, my commitment extends beyond basic care to fostering a loving and comfortable environment. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary requirements, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with the same level of care and dedication. Your beloved furry family members are not just pets to me; they are cherished companions deserving of the utmost attention and affection. I am currently working remotely full-time so my schedule during the week can be flexible and during the weekend I am available full time upon request. Providing exceptional in-home pet care is my specialty. I ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your furry companions by maintaining their routines in the familiar comfort of your own home. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and adhering to dietary needs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your pets. With a keen eye for detail, I also keep your home secure and tidy, providing peace of mind while you're away. Trust that your pets are in caring hands, receiving personalized attention and companionship in an environment where they feel most at ease. Your home is their sanctuary, and I am dedicated to maintaining that sense of security and happiness in your absence.
“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.”
“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: I’ve taken care of cats for majority of my life. I’ve followed many different feeding schedules along with regimes, allowing me to understand the importance of proper hydration and nutrition in a cats life. As well as the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle for your furry feline.
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.
About: Having grown up in Turkey, a country renowned for its love and care of street cats, I developed a deep connection with these wonderful creatures from an early age. My first feline companion was an Ankara cat who spent his entire life by my side, teaching me the subtleties of cat care and the importance of understanding their unique personalities. For the past two years, I have been the proud mother of two cats, and this experience has only deepened my love and understanding of these fascinating animals. I have become skilled in maintaining their routines, from regular feeding schedules to ensuring their litter is clean and comfortable. But beyond the basics, I truly enjoy spending time with them, observing their behaviors, and engaging them in play that suits their individual temperaments. Understanding that each cat has its own distinct character, I am always eager to get to know new feline friends and cater to their specific needs. Whether you’re away for a short time or an extended period, you can trust that I will provide attentive, loving care to your cats, just as I do with my own.

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.
“Love love Gabe and the family. Hemmingway is so well cared for and is really part of their family. Their back yard is perfect for many dogs at one time. Separated by secure fences, an area for multiple large crates and a sprinkler and shaded patio. Easy access to the house from multiple 101 exits. Highly recommended!”
“Molly is an exceptional pet sitter!!! she really took the extra time to foster a relationship with my dog Annabelle. She was very good with knowing how to use my dogs high energy with lots of play and games of fetch. I absolutely will be using Molly in the future 🐶😎”
“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!”
“Velsia is fabulous! So very kind, caring & very clean. It’s been years since I’ve taken my dog to a kennel or a daycare. Velsia made me instantly feel at ease. Great experience, any questions I told her to feel free to call or text. She did send a couple cute pics taking Daisy for a walk & a nap with her blanket ❤️”
“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’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.
About: Hello, my name is Karina. I truly adore animals and would love to care for your pets. I treat every pet the same way I would want my own pet to be treated with love, patience, and attention. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always send regular updates to keep you informed on how your pet is doing. Your pet will never feel alone. My mom and sister are also animal lovers, and together we make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Cats stay indoors in our rooms in a calm, cozy space. Dogs are kept both inside and outside during the day, and we also provide walks. At night, dogs are kept indoors so I always know they are safe. I carefully follow all feeding instructions and any specific routines you provide. I also keep a clean, safe environment, including a well-maintained yard. I currently have one cat, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. If you have any questions or would like to meet, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks and play with. When I’m not home my family is with them and also treats them with the same love. (No children in the home) I provide safety to your pets by keeping their litter box hygienic, providing a fenced yard, and monitoring them throughout the entire day. I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.
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!!
“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. ☺️”
“Carol was wonderful. She accommodated a last minute request after two other Rovers canceled on us. Oni was well taken care of care of and seemed like she’d had a great time. We will definitely turn to Carol again next time we are in town.”
About: 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 puppy, so I’m very in tune with different personalities, energy levels, 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 that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a bit of training, or prefers 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. I also share my home with my loving boyfriend Ahmed, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, you can trust your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment the whole time. 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 dog, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps her 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. For cats, I create a cozy, quiet space where they can feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. 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. ❤️
“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!”
About: I have two fur babies of my own and know they’re a lot of work! I love to help other families and learn more from others. I’m currently working part time and am on summer vacation so my schedule is currently very flexible! I can plan accordingly to best meet you. Working with each pet is different. Depending on what routine you have your pet on is what I will adapt to! I know from experience that they need attention and play just like children.
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!

“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!”
“I trust Azia completely with my reactive dog, which says everything. She is kind, gentle, calm, and also strong enough to confidently handle a big rambunctious dog. She truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their well-being. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her.”

“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!”

Change can be overwhelming, which is why I specialize in providing dedicated, in-home care designed to preserve your pet’s sense of safety, routine, and comfort while you are away.

Although my experience is personal, I am passionate about animals and committed to delivering the same level of care to your pets as I do with my own. I am committed to working as a full-time pet sitter. My goal is to be available to care for owners pets at least 2 times per day. I am available to travel for pet sitting and in special cases will remain with pets throughout the day if needed. Let’s talk about details. The services I will provide like sitting and boarding will be at your cat or dog's home. As a bonus; I can water your plants🌱
About: I’ve been walking and taking care of dogs since I was eight. I’m an active individual that can take dogs on runs, bike rides, to the beach, on hikes, and much more. I have experience working with elderly dogs with disabilities such as deafness and blindness, which has allowed me to help these furry friends navigate their lives in a smoother manner. I am a senior at the University of Santa Cruz and student athlete (I play volleyball). I have a maximum of two classes a day from 8-3 and am willing to do early mornings and late nights. I have a fenced backyard as well as crate availability. If comfortable, I can also transport pets in my car to locations for hikes and other outdoor adventures.
About: Personalized occupations, 24/7 pet sitting with daily photo updates, multiple pet care, and tailored care plans, ensuring your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind🩶. As a pet sitter, I’d work with you to seamlessly fit pet care into your daily or weekly schedule by taking on key tasks, ensuring your pet’s needs are met while you’re busy.🗓️ Ensuring the safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for your pet is my top priority. I’d ensure doors, gates, and windows are locked to prevent escapes, and I’d keep hazardous items (e.g., toxic foods, small objects) out of reach. For small pets, I’d double-check cage security. All while making sure your lovable animals have a stress free and loving environment.💌
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.
