About: From daily walks to personalized playtime and attentive feeding, my commitment extends beyond basic care to fostering a loving and comfortable environment.

“My pup is so excited to see Arbella every morning! She has been a regular since she was 4 months old. My mind is at ease while I’m at work, knowing she is well taken care of (and cuddled!). Arbella is also great with communication & sends photo updates during the day.”

“Marina was awesome. We were staying in a nearby area on vacation and wanted to adventure a bit and looked for someone close by that our pup Koa could hang with for the day. Marina was quick to respond and Koa stayed with her a day later for the afternoon. We received lots of pics and updates along the way. Her pup was super sweet. Koa took a minute to warm up but they soon became quick buddies. I really appreciate her watching him. Highly recommend Marina!”

“Virginia is a great dog sitter. Always letting me know updates on my pup. I will be using her services again. I highly recommend her . 👌”

“Tiffany is a very nice, and loving person. She especially loves dogs. I knew her when she worked at pet smart and only had her handle my dog because of the excellent care she gave. She worked well and was attentive to my dogs needs. She was always kind when helping me out every time.”

“Experience overall a 10/10! I drove from Pacific Grove to bring my dggie Twix to Martin’s house. Even though the location is a little bit far, it was totally worth it because as soon as I dropped Twix off I knew he was in good hands. The backyard is an excellent setting for dogs that either want to be separated, or together with others, similar to what you’d see at a doggie daycare center. I thought that was really great because not all dogs want to be part of the pack at all times and sometimes having dog’s being able to personal space that’s not a crate is really good for control and safety. Also, the area was very clean and tidy with lots of shade with plenty of room to play. Overall, I was very much impressed and wished I lived closer to Martin’s house. I dropped my dog off for about five hours, and I got several updates and video footage while I was gone. Thank you so much for watching my dog and I hope to book you again!”

“Emma is one of the most caring persons that I know. She cares about people. She cares about all animals. One of the things that makes Emma an exceptional pet caregiver is that she connects not only with the pet owner, but with the pet. She has trained many dogs in general commands but has also trained support dogs as well. She ensures that dogs (in particular) are well fed, well-cared for and well-trained. She meets the needs to pet owners and pet schedules. I highly recommend Emma as a responsible, caring pet caregiver.”

“Gunner had a great experience on his visit. He had so much fun playing with Otto. We also got some great tips on helping train Gunner. We would definitely recommend!”

“First time with Rover. Shayne was very sweet and took very good care of our pup Luna a 7 month old goldendoodle. Located in a nice area which made me feel every comfortable leaving her.”

About: Hi! My name is Jeannessa. I am currently studying for my BA at CSU Monterey Bay and I am working towards a career in K9 training. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have multiple years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I previously managed a local daycare, boarding, and Pet Spa facility in Monterey. I am a Certified Dog Trainer, working underneath a local Master Trainer in Marina to obtain my speciality certifications. Ask me about my training services! I am here to provide exceptional care for your pets. I love to go for walks and adventures out in nature, and at night I love to cuddle with dogs. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, especially the big, cuddly ones! I have experience working with both geriatric and special needs pets. I have experience in administering oral and injection medications, as well as experience with general health care such as nail trimmings, bathing, and brushing. Feel free to say hi or reach out with any questions! I am currently a student and employed, but home frequently. If I am not home, my partner usually is, and I am never gone for more than 4 hours at a time. While I am caring for your pet, I will provide consistent supervision and affection. I also am extremely diligent when it comes to the safety of your pet outside your home. If I transport your pet in my car, they will be secured with a harness attached to a pet seat belt.

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

“Sabrina was a great sitter for Boba. She gave updates sent pictures throughout the day. Boba seemed to love it there. Would definitely recommend.”

“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”

“Justine's personal experience with dogs includes a rather rambunctious large mix rescue dog. She attended training classes with him, and has since demonstrated the right approach to proper handling of such an animal, safely, lovingly, but firmly. She knows how to care for hurt paws, watch for ticks, and pay attention to the diet. I remain available for further questions”

About: My history with pets is extensive and I’ve come across a variety of animals. My first pet was a blue Betta fish and soon after I obtained 2 Dwarf Hamsters. Then I got my first dog, she was a Chihuahua & Terrier mix and her name was Bella. I currently have a pair of parakeets and a Crested gecko only. I have also rescued animals off the streets and from pet owners who can no longer take care of their pets. One of those rescued animals was a beautiful European quail bird that we rescued from an owner who could no longer take care of her. I also cared for a lost house rabbit, many strayed dogs and a chicken. I’ve always had a passion for animals ever since I was a child. Out of all the pets I have owned, Bella was my best companion. I am currently working and studying, which holds me back from getting another dog because of my financial situation. However, I would love to once again be around dogs and enjoy their great company while at the same time give you peace of mind while you’re away on your business or vacation trip. Note: I don’t take in Cats because I have no cat care experience. I am currently a full time college student and I am only available for boarding after 6PM on weekdays. Saturdays I am available all day and Sundays only until 7PM. I have a wide open area that provides enough space for big and small dogs. This will allow me to provide your dog with playtime anytime. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will be my main priority. My backyard is fenced all around and has trees that provide shade when the sun is inconvenient. No need to worry about young children being around your dog(s).

“Jaqueline was available on short notice and took good care of our dog. Quick response to our messages, and clearly loves dogs.”

“Jocelyn (Jay) is without a doubt the best dogsitter / dogwalker my family has had. We've usually had her stay at our place while we're away, and she's taken care of a husky and a border collie. Those are very active dogs, but they would be happy and tired out at the end of the day. Jay took them on long walks, long sessions at dog parks, and played with them at home. She gave them lots of attention. When my husky became sick and needed several medicines, Jay followed her care regimen religiously. Our remaining dog rushes up to her whenever he sees Jay. He knows something good is going to happen!”

“Chris is a super star dog sitter. He dog sitter for Checkers last minute and did a great job watching him. He provided videos and photos too which put our mind at ease when leaving him. We will definitely be using his services again. Thank you so much Chris!!!”

“I am delighted to share my heartfelt recommendation for Kim as a dog sitter and all-around remarkable individual. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for the past three years, initially connecting through an online art community. We have met in person since then and she has become one of my most trusted friends; she is like a sister to me. I can attest that she is one of the most giving, gentle, and compassionate people you will ever meet. In the duration of our friendship, I have witnessed not only her incredible skill as an artist, but also her profound love for animals. This is evident in the way I have seen her care of her two Shiba Inus, Kitkat and Myuu (and I’m sure she would gladly provide the photo evidence to prove it!). I am fully confident that she will handle pet sitting with the same unwavering commitment, reliability, and care that she consistently exhibits in every aspect of her life.”

About: I was born and raised in Salinas and recently graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Health and Human Sciences. Since graduating in 2018, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru until getting evacuated due to COVID-19 in March. While at Loyola Marymount University, I volunteered at an animal shelter through my service organization and fostered various dogs and cats while living in a rural community in Peru during my Peace Corps service. Currently, I am in the process of applying to physical therapy school for the fall of 2021, and as much as I would love to get another dog at some point, I would be happy to travel to your home or take care of your pets here at my home for however long you may need!
