“Denise was awesome and Luna seemed to have absolutely the best time! She was happy and a little tired after her day and I loved how Denise kept in touch and sent such cute photos.”
“Wanessa was great and kept us up to date with pictures and videos! We felt at ease leaving our anxious dogs with her, especially after a long road trip. Both dogs loved the backyard and space. Wanessa was great at listening and understanding the needs to care for our doggos too, which we really appreciated!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent us an update with a picture of our pup and was a calming presence for our anxious dog. She even took the time to hand feed him when he didn’t want to eat normally 😂 This was above and beyond! 10/10 would recommend. Elizabeth also gave us recommendations for sites to see in the area, which were great.”
“Christina was able to accommodate a last minute (same day) request. She took great care of our little pup. This was his first time with a sitter so we were a bit worried, but he was in good hands.”
“My dog had so much fun with Emily! I am really happy to find someone I trust, and can tell right away the great care and attention that she provides. Also it was very easy to communicate, go over the details I wanted to discuss and everything!”
“My pup came home relaxed and tired after a fun day at Tanya’s beautiful home! She can sometimes be anxious around other dogs but Tanya kept them completely separate and there weren’t any issues. Very glad to have found this Rover so close to all the Monterey fun!”
“Abby was wonderful! She was very responsive and great at keeping us posted on how our little guy was doing. It was our dog’s first time in doggy day care, and Abby quickly set him at ease. She sent adorable photos, and our dog loved playing with hers. We will definitely reach out to Abby again when we come back to Monterey for vacation.”
About: For over 10 years I ran a successful dog walking and pet sitting business in San Francisco. I specialize in smaller dogs (0-20lbs) and have the sweetest little girl of my own adopted from Peace of Mind Dog Rescue in Pacific Grove. My schedule is very flexible as I am home regularly during the day working my other job as a remote web developer. In other words, your pup will have around the clock supervision from very attentive playmates, including my two kids who just love animals and have their fair share of experience fostering through Peace of Mind. My home is very safe and clean with a fully enclosed backyard directly across from Paraiso Park in Monterey providing plenty of opportunities to play at the park. We look forward to spending lots of quality time with your pup!

I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals i have and host. I am home most days and evenings. I primarily work from home and I am active throughout the day. I typically take morning, mid day and evening walks with my dog(s) and allow them to have free roam in the house and yard. I am to offer flexiblility with your pets needs at my home or in yours. My home is pet friendly, accommodating and safe, I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats and play things are available at all times for all pets.

“Asta and Chris were both fantastic with our Bambi. We got pictures, videos and texts all day during Bambi's visits. They are both kind and very sweet. They treated Bambi very well and took her on so many walks and just really spoiled her. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to know their fur babies are in good trusting hands. I will for sure have Bambi with them again.”
“Kelly and her boys took great care of our little girl while we were in town for a ballgame. They have a lovely neighborhood for walks and she sent lots of updates and pictures. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
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!
“Such an amazing and loving dog sitter, Kristin was able to make my occasionally anxious dog feel at home and my dog was happy to make new friends with her dogs and got comfortable almost immediately”
“Elena is an absolute godsend. She took great care of my pup and even reassured me on how well he was doing throughout his stay with her. She has such a calming presence to her which I’m sure translates to the animals she cares for. 15/10 cannot recommend Elena enough and will definitely continue to utilize her services.”
“Nina is wonderful - the peace of mind we have leaving Cosmo with her is priceless. Cosmo is comfortable in her home, Nina is very attentive, and her yard is terrific. Highly recommended!”
“Julia took fantastic care of our dog, Milo, while my husband and I went hiking in Big Sur. She went above and beyond to make sure that Milo had a fun day of adventure around town. It was clear that Julia was experienced and really loved dogs!”

Dilan M.
“Dilan is a good person. They don't come too often these days. He grew up in a happy family who took him on many trips overseas, so he learned about other countries and their peoples and he has always made friends with people he has met from other places in the world. When he lived in San Francisco, he set up and owned a dog walking group that was very successful. Then he married and they eventually ended up in the beautiful area of Monterey. His sister has always been interested in dogs and horses and volunteered at the local Oakland dog adoption agency. She has always had adopted dogs and taught us all about this valuable work and Dilan has worked with her and then became a dog adopter too. Dilan will be a good and responsible dog minder and I highly recommend him! I am his mother.”
