“Bria’s communication is stellar. Very responsive and reliable. She took for a walk our two dogs and made sure to connect with them first and learn about each of them. I know they’re in good hands when they’re with her. :)”


“Andrea was so kind and accommodating for our special requests and went out of her way to work with our schedule. She even made sure to bring her son so they could play together (my dogs love kids) and gave them such good love and attention that they barely missed me. She went above and beyond and was so professional, can't recommend enough!!”


“Javier was terrific with our Standard Poodle and small, untrained terrier who can be fearful of strangers. Javier was prompt and after each walk, both pups returned wagging from nose to tail. He is an excellent communicator and always let us know his status. He sent us photos on each walk. We would happily hire Javier again.”



“Tamara was an absolute life saver, I booked here extremely last minute and she was accommodating and on time even though she was an entire 30 minute drive away! My boys loved the walk and her company. I highly recommend her.”


About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!

About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.

“Kaia loves having Kristin walk her! My dog is around 65 lbs and can "take the lead" on walks sometimes, but Kristin does a great job handling her. Thank you for giving my girl love.”



About: 10 yrs vet hospital experience (8 yrs as a vet assistant & 2 client liaison) Why do I love pet sitting? Because they mean the world to you. I not only care about my furry friends but also their owners. My professional relationship is one you can count on. I have extensive experience with cats & dogs (among other animals). I joined the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant in 2008 at a small clinic in my hometown. I got 2 years of hands-on experience before I took the opportunity to work at the *San Francisco SPCA. I served there 2010 to 2018 as a veterinary assistant. I was promoted to client liaison & grew into other opportunities to work more with the public. In my non-work life, I have cared for: Mice, Rats, Hamsters, Chickens, Birds, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Dogs, & Horses. I thrive on interaction with both people & animals. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. My experience administering medication I am fully trained in subcutaneous injections & fluid administration. I am capable of giving oral medication to difficult patients. My career has led me out of the veterinary clinics and into human clinics. I love all earthlings and my skills have never faltered. I look forward to caring for your littles, your bigs, or in-betweens! I usually have plenty of time for my furry friends who need attention. I am flexible around my work schedule as my clients need me. The pet's needs come first. Keeping them safe, entertained, clean, and happy. My petcare mantra: A tired dog is a happy dog. Show a cat your devotion and they'll curl up in your lap.

About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)

About: Prior to now, I have owned two dog boutique hotels that I have personally built from the ground up. I am familiar with all kinds of doggies and their personalities. All doggies are special to me and will receive nothing but the best of care and affection. I am currently taking care of pups in your own home unless we discuss and or have made other arrangements. I am also a commissioned artist so I would not be leaving to another job, your pup(s) would be my only concern. I might go run a couple errands, grocery store, etc... but I would enjoy just being home with your pups and painting, exercising them, playing with them or just doing whatever they are familiar in doing with you. As to your own personal instructions only. I understand, every dog has their own individual personality and each puppy has special needs. I will accompany each puppy as you wish.

About: I have fostered/rescued/adopted, & provided pet sitting my entire life. My specialty is dogs with issues (long term shelter stays, dogs that are people/dog reactive, & senior hospice dogs). I currently volunteer at a local canine rehabilitation center, both in a fundraising capacity, as well as walking pups. I am retired from the State of Nevada (22+ year law enforcement career). I currently volunteer at a local K-9 rescue & have complete flexibility for pet sitting in your home or walking your dog(s). I am currently on Trusted HouseSitters watching pups in their own homes. I have received a Five (5) Star review for EVERY sit. You will have the peace of mind while traveling, that your pup(s) will be safe & LOVED.


“Julia quickly became an essential help for me to get my dog Rocky stimulation and exercise that allowed me to focus on the primary reason for my trip! She is knowledgeable of all of the dog fun-spots and very aware of safety of the pets she cares for. Julie communicated often and it felt like I was along for the fun. She sent pictures that quickly became favorites on Facebook and most of all, she developed a bond with Rocky where he loved every visit and I could tell she enjoyed Rocky as well! I highly recommend Julia for all your pet needs in the Carmel area!”


About: I love hanging out with animals and understand how hard it can be to leave them behind while on vacation. I've been trusted to care for many family and friends' houses and pets over the years, mostly dogs and cats but also fish, and even a hedgehog! I've had experience with dog training as well. I'm currently working on writing a book, so my schedule is very flexible with plenty of time to devote attention to your furry family members. I take care to be especially mindful of the pets particular routine and boundaries and do my best to keep things as normal and stable for them as possible.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and enjoy taking them on fun walks or energetic hikes to keep them healthy and happy! I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to hang out with furry friends. I have a changing schedule that varies week to week, but I am happy to find a time that works for us both. I am committed to making you and your dogs comfortable and happy. Safety is my priority, and I focus on maintaining an enjoyable and positive environment for your pup.

About: I can't remember a time when there wasn't an animal in my household whether it was a bird, dog, or cat my family has always had some kind of pet. Currently, I have 1 pitbull named Athena back at home. As you can guess I have done my fair share of dog walking. In addition to my family's pet history, I have worked with a variety of animals including cats, birds, horses, and pigs. I also intern at 2 vet clinics where I deal with dogs of all sizes. I am open to working with all breeds and sizes and would love to get to know you as an owner and your pet! I am currently a college student on summer vacations and can accommodate pet walking on Mondays and Tuesdays and early morning on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can ensure that your pet will be safe with me. If accommodations for your pet are needed I am more than happy to put those accommodations into place, as your pet's saftey and happiness are my number 1 concern.

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. While we are in the upper unit of a duplex, we have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!

Ashley R.
“Ashley is incredibly responsible and attentive to pets, friends, and children. She has spent countless hours training and caring for her own dog, Hemi, who is a challenging breed and now completely devoted to her. She is a good listener and will respect your wishes when it comes to how you would like your pet cared for. I highly recommend Ashley for your next pet sitting need.”


Lauren R.
“I have trusted Lauren with my beloved dogs for 7 years. She genuinely loves dogs! She enjoys each of their personalities and quirks. If there was a emergency I know that she would handle it without hesitation. With Lauren watching my boys I can go on trips or be gone for a day and know they are be spoiled with a lots of snuggles and play time. They have specialized food and times to eat. She worked with our schedule. As a pet owner we considered our 4 legged boys are family. At one point I was scheduled to go on a trip when one of the dogs got hurt, he was on medication which was scheduled 4x a day. We had already paid for our flights and hotel. After discussing my concerns with Lauren and possibly canceling the trip, she assured me that he would be very well taken care of and she was correct. I came back to to a very happy boy and the injury was healed. THANK YOU LAUREN. We were able to go on a our trip. I only wish she was babysitting as well. She is passionate, loving and will go beyond for your beloved pet”


Charles T.
“I have known Charlie for over 25 years. Both as a friend, and as a colleague through our respective law enforcement careers. He has watched our dogs on numerous occasions in our home, to include a hospice dog that has since passed. When traveling, I always have peace of mind that my dogs are safe, cared for, and most of all, loved. Dogs are his passion. Don’t overthink. Book with Charlie for all your house sitting and dog walking needs. You won’t be disappointed.”

Athena M.
“Athena has been a most trusted dog sitter and walker for my two year old English bulldog Benny over the last year. Whether I’ve needed her services for a last-minute walk or a two-week long stay while I traveled out of the country, and everywhere in between, I’ve known that Benny would be comfortable and happy with her no matter what. Athena is also extremely organized and thorough, always making sure to fully understand Benny’s daily routines before taking care of him, which include his eating, walking, and cleaning schedule. I will continue to use Athena’s dog sitting and walking services time and time again!”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly far surpasses my expectations. My husband, son and I were in town visiting and wanted to take my son to h th e aquarium. I’ve never used rover before but has heard good things. I was anxious about leaving our dog with someone she did not know but she instantly took to her! I was shocked truly because she is picky. It was the best decision and the next time we are in Monterey we will ABSOLUTELY be booking Kelly in advance 💕

Adam did a wonderful job with my pup. It was a last minute drop off and he was very responsive and helped ease the stress of trying to figure out what to do with my pup for 2 hours. Aphrodite had a great beach time and was nice and tired when I got him back. 10/10 would recommend.
