“Stephanie is fantastic! She's incredibly friendly, communicative, flexible, and did a wonderful job with our extra-large breed. I'll definitely rely on her services again!”

“Asja did great with Lincoln. We could tell when we got home that he had a good long walk and he was very happy and relaxed for us for the evening. He is a big dog so to know he was taken care of so well is such a gift! Thank you!”

“Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.”

“Taryn was able to take on a last minute request to walk our pup for a couple hours while we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant. Our pup, Stella, was super comfortable with her. If we are in Carmel again, we would definitely book with her again!”


About: I never stop loving the animals I care for—my own or anyone else’s. I stick to their routines, their quirks, their “this bowl, not that bowl” rules. And I always make sure the shy little one still gets their food and attention (yes, Cleo, I’m talking about you). I’m gentle, reliable, and I pay attention to the pets who usually slip under the radar. Everyone gets cared for here. I’m a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule and can choose the days I work, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. The only consistent times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:50–8:00 PM when I have standing commitments. Outside of that, I’m very open and able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal life as possible. I follow their routine, their feeding schedule, and all the little details that make them feel comfortable. Some pets want playtime and attention, others just want a calm presence nearby, I pay attention to that and adjust to them. I’m gentle, patient, and I make sure they feel safe, especially if they’re shy or a little anxious. I also keep you updated so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
“Fantastic find! Marianne was quick to respond and maintained great communication throughout. We were visiting from out of town and hired her for daily walks. She was great with our 75 lb Labrador.”

About: I’ve been surround by pets since i was a kid. I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles and horses. I have most experience in Dog and Cat care and overtime have watch several cats and dogs of all demeanors and ages. I have 2 dogs and they have taught me the responsibility of being a pet owner, happy to provide references. I look forward to meeting your pet and providing care like they are my own! I was recently laid off so my schedule is very flexible. I’d be happy to drop-in or walk when my schedule allows. At this time I am unable to board pets in my home. Safety and wellbeing is always my utmost priority. I am alert and in tune with pet behavior. I will ensure that during walks I provide attention needed in a busy area and sufficiently exercise your per. At home, I will ensure that your pet feels comfortable, well fed and enriched to create a calm but structured space for your pet to relax.

About: I have been helping friends and family take care of their pets for years and have two cats of my own. I would love to help take care of your fur babies! I have a work from home job, so my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you for what works best for you and your pet. I am experienced in keeping both my cats very well taken care of and often help my mom take care of her little dog. I am happy to accommodate any requests that you may have for your pets.

“We had a great experience with Nicole. My dog warmed up to her right away, and it was clear that she understands dog behavior and knows how to build trust quickly. She was calm and gentle, and gave my dog space to settle in and feel at ease. I was visiting from out of state, and having a sitter I felt comfortable leaving my dog with allowed me to spend a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was a highlight of my trip, and I was able to enjoy it knowing my dog was in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the walk with messages and photos. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with Nicole. For a dog who usually wants to be by my side, that says a lot. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable sitter.”

“Elizabeth is wonderful! She is great with the pups and great with communicating with me. I'm super appreciative of the attention she gives to them and the great pictures. She has great dog sense and I trust her with the pups. I will definitely call her again!!”

About: Hi! My name is McKayla and I am a big animal lover!! I have two friendly kitties named Snowbell and Penny, and a Boston Terrier named Sophie. In the past, I gained experience dog/cat sitting for family friends, but I am looking forward to broadening my care to dogs/cats in the neighborhood! I love going on long walks with my dog, so I thought it would be perfect to get the opportunity to help others out by walking theirs! I also love to cuddle my animals and give them some special attention, and I hope through Rover that I can spread more love to some furry friends! I live in a beautiful gated housing community so it is the perfect spot for long walking routes! If Its checking in on pets, I will be sure to make sure they get some special attention too:)
“Mari is so loving and sweet with my dog. She always responds promptly to my requests and is 100% reliable. I know my boy is in good hands when she comes around. She truly cares about the well being of my pup!”

“Brooke has been wonderful. She was available for a last minute request and has been very punctual, easy to communicate with and loving on our sweet pup. Highly recommend her to anyone and plan on using her again and again!!!”

I work from home most of the time usually paint and l will be free most of the time since l Paint about two hours maximum a day. l am looking for peoples who need home sitter and day to day walking person to take their pet for a walk my apartment does not allow any pet in.
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have personally owned five beloved dogs throughout my life, including my current little companion Leo. All of my dogs lived well into their senior years, so I'm very familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and care older pets need. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with medication schedules, mobility challenges, and special feeding routines. I've also provided overnight house and pet sitting for a home with three dogs and two cats over several years, making sure every pet received individual attention and care. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and especially enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm patient with shy or anxious dogs and work at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel calm, loved and well cared for while their families are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and my weekends are usually open as well. I'm able to give pets plenty of attention during visits and can accommodate multiple visits per day when needed. I'm also happy to stay in local hotels with your dog while you go out and about! When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and daily care so pets feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their families are away. I'm attentive to details such as making sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are properly fitted for walks, and the home is left just as it was found. I respect each client's home and privacy and treat it with the same care I would my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before new bookings so both pets and owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. If requested I'm glad to bring in mail or packages during visits.

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 💕
