1. Elena D.


“Elena has been great with my shih-tzu! I appreciate that I can go to work knowing that he is being properly cared for. I always get a summary of how his day was and a few pictures. Elena is professional and very responsive. I am so happy I found her!”


2. Denise E.

“Denise was very kind to our young puppy. It was his first time using Rover, and I think she was a great person to start with. Denise is easy to work with and very accommodating. Her place is excellent for dogs, and she is very knowledgeable about them. She sent us many pictures and kept us updated throughout the day.”


3. Melissa S.

“Melissa did an amazing job taking care of my two small dogs, my puppy with separation anxiety, and a very energetic older dog. She kept me updated, and clearly took amazing care since neither of the dogs wanted to leave once the day was over :) it looks like they both had an amazing time playing and relaxing with the other dogs, and luckily not sitting all day in cages like another doggy day care we saw in the area. They were pooped by the time we picked them up. Melissa was able to help us out at on very very last minute request, and I’m so glad we found her. Will definitely book her again next time we’re in the Monterey area!”


4. Christina & Brennan & Juliana W.

“Christina was great with both our dogs! She is conveniently located near the aquarium and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures and updates which eased our minds that our dogs were doing good with her. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are ever in town with the dogs. Thanks for taking good care of our fur babies!”


5. Wanessa M.

“What a gift to enjoy Big Sur and know that our pup was being taken good care of! We hadn't realized quite how unfriendly-to-dogs most of those trails are until only a few days before. Wanessa and her family were so kind, flexible, and understanding (even agreeing to a brief meet-and-greet beforehand). Tati had a great time while we did. Thanks, again.”


6. Kitty M.

“Kitty was wonderful with our dog! She was super accommodating and willing to watch our girl even though she has some anxiety issues. Kitty sent us updates and was super responsive. Our dog was in great hands with Kitty and we would recommend her to anybody.”


7. Robert M.

“Robert was fantastic! Binx loved him! He was super flexible with our complicated schedule and provided lots of photo updates. Realizing we had a long drive home Robert took her on a long walk to ensure she was worn out which was so fantastic.”


8. Nicole P.

“Nicole was great! She took great care of Angus! He got to go for two walks, play with toys, get love on the couch...lucky boy! We highly recommend Nicole as a doggie caretaker.”


9. Kelly E.

“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!”


10. Troy E.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the care Troy provided for my baby! My precious lil min pin is a high-energy and typically doesn’t warm up to most people, so I was amazed when she walked right up to him and even sat in his lap. He was calm, patient, and clearly has a way with animals. It was such a relief to know she was in good hands with someone she felt comfortable with. I would absolutely recommend Troy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker .”


11. Desiree & Adam C.

“Monterey is very dog-friendly, but I traveled in from out of town and had some activities and restaurants in mind that didn't allow me to take my dogs. It was super convenient to have Adam and Desiree so close to the heart of Monterey. They have some awesome property for my dogs to explore, and my guys didn't seem to want to leave when I arrived to pick them up. I'm very grateful to them.”

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.


13. Kelly R.

“Kelly is a gem! We needed a sitter while we visited the Aquarium and Kelly was the perfect spot for our dog. Kelly is an awesome communicator (she even recommended a dinner spot, Rosine's), and most importantly, our anxiety prone dog was instantly at ease with her. I highly recommend Kelly and will use her in the future.”


14. Carol D.

“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”


15. Robyn E.
“Robyn was an amazing choice for watching Boo all day! I felt comfortable knowing boo was playing and having fun while Robyn sent me pictures and videos of her enjoying her stay! I highly recommend Robyn ?”


16. Shannon O.


“My dog was very comfortable with Shannon and I would use her again.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life.I can take your dog to parks or to the rivers to swim. At the park we can play with your dogs toys. I like to maintain myself busy and responsible but also have fun when taking care of cute furry friends. With school I am a lot more flexible with talking care of loved ones. I have a spacious fenced yard and plenty of shade for your friend. We have a deck as well. Their is a park and river near by so we can go on walks and play. I have a blanket as well for your friend.


18. Madelaine C.
“Lainey has performed doggie duty for us for many years, including overnight stays. Can’t get any better for attentiveness to our two pooches, our highest recommendation for integrity and love of animals!”


19. Ellen R.
“Ellen is a true animal friend. She has taken very good care of our pets for years. What makes her outstanding is that she is not only very caring but she is also quite responsible and handles herself well in emergencies. She can be trusted to prioritize your pets health, safety and well being.”
