✦ Meet the Team
We Are Elena & Mary.
Your Pet's Home Away from Home
Welcome, Pet Parents! 🐾 We are a mother-daughter team of professional pet sitters and co-owners of Peace of Mind Pet Care LLC. Based in the beautiful Monterey area, we provide a safe, cage-free, and loving environment for your furry family members.
Our Story
Caring for Animals Is in Our Nature.
As a mother-daughter duo and lifelong animal lovers, caring for animals has always been in our nature. Mary grew up in a lively household of ten alongside dogs, cats, horses, reptiles — you name it! Elena grew up on the beach in California with a deep love of the ocean and animals. We were never without at least five pets at any given time.
With a lifetime of hands-on experience and hearts full of love, we turned our passion into a family business — Peace of Mind Pet Care LLC. Every pet we welcome into our home is treated exactly as we treat our own: with patience, love, structure, and endless cuddles.

How We Stand Out
More Than a Pet Sitter — We're Your Pet's People.
Personalized to Each Pet
Whether your pet needs adventurous walks, medication administered, or just endless cuddles, we adapt to their unique personality and let them lead the way.
Daily Updates & Photos
We send detailed daily reports and plenty of photos after every booking and visit, so you always know your furry family member is happy, safe, and thriving.
Always Cage-Free
Our home is your pet's home. They are never locked in a crate or confined space — they roam freely indoors and enjoy our fully fenced yard under constant supervision.
Medication & Special Needs
We comfortably administer oral and topical medications, manage special diets, and accommodate physical limitations, mobility concerns, and medical conditions.
We Follow Your Instructions
We respect your established routines and preferences completely — from feeding schedules to bedtime rituals. No treats are ever given without your prior written approval.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured
Your peace of mind matters to us. We are fully licensed and insured, ensuring your pet is always protected and cared for responsibly.
Peace of Mind Guaranteed
