Eric and Altee, owners of Central Coast Pet & Home Care

Meet Eric & Altee

We're a husband-and-wife team who have proudly called California's Central Coast home for over 10 years. We raised our family here, and now that our kids are grown, we have more time to give back to the community we love.

Animals have always been a big part of our lives. Over the years, we've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, pigs, turkeys, sheep, goats, horses, and even cattle. From household pets to farm animals, we're comfortable caring for animals of all shapes and sizes.

As a retired U.S. Air Force Captain, Eric understands the importance of responsibility, reliability, and trust. We bring those same values to caring for your home and animals.

We know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away. Our goal is simple: to treat your home with respect and your animals like they're our own.

One of us personally stays for every booked night. No staff, no strangers.

Free meet-and-greet before your first stay

We visit before your first booking to meet your pets, learn their routines and walk through your home. It's free and required for every new customer.

How we protect your home and pets

You're trusting us with your keys and your family. Here's how we take that seriously.

Free meet-and-greet

We meet you and your pets in person before your first stay.

Written care plan

Feeding, walks, medications and house routines, written down before your stay so nothing is left to memory.

Emergency ready

We collect your vet's details and emergency contacts before every stay, and we contact you right away if anything comes up.

Careful with your keys

We use your lockbox, or pick up a copy of your keys and any gate codes at the meet-and-greet. Your keys and codes stay private and are used only for your stay.

Yes. Walks are part of every pet-sitting stay, following your dog's usual routine.

Do you offer standalone dog walking?

Do you provide drop-in pet visits?

No. We focus on overnight stays, so your pets and home have someone there through the night.

Can you care for multiple pets?

Yes. We care for dogs, cats and birds, plus horses and farm animals like goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and cattle. Pricing depends on how many animals you have and the care they need.

How much does overnight pet sitting cost?

Overnight house and pet sitting starts at $80 a night, and house sitting without pets starts at $65 a night. Your final price depends on location, number of pets, care needs and length of stay.

Do you offer a meet-and-greet?

Yes. Before your first stay we visit for free to meet your pets, learn their routines and see your home. It's required for every new customer.
