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.

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.

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.

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:)

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.

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 💕
