“First time using this service, and I was extremely nervous. However, Denise was outstanding, and our Frenchie couldn’t have been happier. I would definitely use Denise again. She kept me updated with messages and photos of Summer, which made me feel completely comfortable and at peace while we enjoyed our dinner, knowing our baby was in great hands and being well taken care of. Denise has helped me modify the rate and Me and my husband is 11/10 so happy and satisfied. Thank you so much for everything. You make our anniversary and my birthday the most amazing one!”
“Johemy was great! My little Brigid was so well cared for. I love leaving her with someone who is loving and caring. I appreciate how nurturing she was to her. I would definitely recommend!”
“Our pups had an amazing time staying with Elizabeth while my partner and I went to the aquarium and had lunch in Carmel. Would absolutely leave them with her again next time we're in Monterey. We picked them up happy and tired, they loved their day trip with Elizabeth and her husband!”
“We are really grateful that Christina was able to accommodate our last minute request for Alfie, she sent many photos throughout the day which made for a great experience. Alfie had a great time and met new pup friends - would recommend.”
“As someone who has used rover for years I can say Mary was five stars. She was wonderful with my very anxious cattle dog. Her warm calm presence was perfect for mags temperament. She gave me great feedback during the stay and sent pictures. She knew exactly what to do to keep mag as comfortable as possible in a new environment. I felt so confident that he would be okay with her. 10/10 recommend her with your pets. Thank you Mary!”
“It was great to have Kristin watch my dog for a few hours while we explored the aquarium. She was responsive and was very accommodating with our timing. Would recommend for any other travelers who need a dog sitter!”
“Dilan was very kind and attentive to our blind rescue poodle Sugar and Melody was a perfect canine host. In turn Sugar was extremely happy and calm even though she always had severe separation anxiety due to her condition. Dilan is very communicative and understanding so you can trust your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Jesse took great care of our dog Kiké when we took a last-minute day trip. He gave Kiké plenty of walks, sent pictures and updates, and kindly accommodated a late pick-up time. Thanks you, Jesse!”
“Kalikonani is a lovely young lady who kindly cares for her dog and another small, older dog. She asked several questions before accepting the booking to be sure it would be a comfortable and safe environment for those (charming) dogs and mine. She gave me a detailed account of the entire time my dog was there with several photos. I would definitely book her again if I lived in the area or if I visit again.”
“Our pup was well cared for while we had a day in the Monterey bay aquarium and cannery row. We picked him up so happy and tired from a fun day of walks and the beach! Definitely would recommend for doggy daycare!”
“While visiting Carmel, we needed someone to care for our miniature Australian Shepherd for a day. With no experience leaving Blu with anyone locally, we chose David through Rover. We met David for an introductory visit and he gave us a tour of his excellent facilities, introduced Blu to his own dog and cat, and immediately put us all at ease. When our plans changed at the last minute, he was flexible and accommodating. At drop-off, Blu quickly settled into his surroundings, and the photos David shared showed he was comfortable and had made himself right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy—and pleasantly tired. We highly recommend David.”
“Athena watched our large breed dog for two nights in a row and we were extremely happy with how she took care of him and handled the entire process! She responds extremely quickly to all messages and was very friendly and happy to have Bruiser in her house, which was beautiful and very clean. We could tell she had prepared to watch Bruiser and listened to all of our notes and instructions for him. Bruiser can sometimes be antsy when in a new place or with strangers, but he seemed more at home with Athena than at our hotel! We are more than happy with Bruiser’s stay with Athena and will absolutely use her again next time we bring Bruiser to Carmel!”
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth — a lifelong animal lover offering dog walking and active, attentive daycare in the Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel area. I provide more than just supervision — I offer an *adventure-based* experience for your dog. I spend most of my days outdoors with my very active toddler, exploring local trails, beaches, and neighborhoods, and I love bringing dogs along for the experience. This works great for both daily walks and doggy daycare. Whether it’s a long walk, a nature-filled outing, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, your dog will get real engagement and exercise — not just time in a yard. For doggy daycare, your pup will be out and about with us, enjoying fresh air, movement, and stimulation throughout the day. Because my child is always with me it’s important that dogs are **friendly, gentle, and comfortable around young children** for everyone’s safety. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals — often with 8–10 dogs on the property at a time — so I’m very comfortable reading behavior, managing different temperaments, and keeping things calm and positive. You can expect thoughtful care, regular updates, and a genuine love for getting dogs out into the world. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog to a safe, active, and enriching day, I’d love to connect! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to consistently walk and care for animals throughout the week. I maintain a trusted routine with several pets and would love to welcome yours into the mix. When caring for pets in a client’s home I ensure each pet receives personalized attention based on their unique needs. I adhere to the routines and instructions provided by the pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care requirements.
“Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my dog Clyde. She was super responsive, friendly, and kind. She sent me several pictures of Clyde throughout the day and that made me very happy. I could tell she took great care of him. Anytime I’m in the Carmel/Monterey Bay area with Clyde I will look to book with Kelly again.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My sister has a dog, and I’ve often helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and general care. I’ve also looked after friends’ cats while they were away during school breaks, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my boyfriend, who is also a big animal lover. We do not have any children or pets of our own, which allows us to provide a calm environment and focus our attention on your pet’s needs. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care.
“Carol communicated well, and sent us pictures and a video of our little puppy throughout the day. When we went to pick Tucker up, he seemed content and relaxed. He was happy to see us but not anxious. It's relieving to find a caretaker who wants to spend quality time with our best friend And care for him in such a way as to make him feel at home. Thanks for taking care of our buddy, Carol!!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve been a dog owner since I was 15, and I currently have two French Bulldogs, which has given me a deep understanding of breed-specific needs, puppy energy, and senior pet care. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dogs’ body language, understand their moods, and respond calmly and effectively to keep them safe and happy. Professionally, I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a doggy daycare, where I gained experience with feeding routines, administering basic care, monitoring health and behavior, and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also skilled in creating structured routines, providing gentle exercise, and giving extra love and attention to pets who need it, like seniors or shy dogs. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For me, every pet deserves individualized care, respect, and affection, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My combination of personal experience, professional training, and genuine love for animals ensures that every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I make sure they get fed, exercised, and plenty of love every day, and I stay on top of any special needs or routines. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their routines, supervise playtime and walks, provide lots of love and attention, and make sure the environment is clean and secure. I also watch for any signs of stress or health issues so pets always feel well cared for.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Del Monte Forest
As someone who has used rover for years I can say Mary was five stars. She was wonderful with my very anxious cattle dog. Her warm calm presence was perfect for mags temperament. She gave me great feedback during the stay and sent pictures. She knew exactly what to do to keep mag as comfortable as possible in a new environment. I felt so confident that he would be okay with her. 10/10 recommend her with your pets. Thank you Mary!
Denise was amazing! My husband and I decided to do a spa day and of course they wouldn’t allow Dublin our Bernadoodle to come, but Denise took great care of him and sent pictures and videos to know he was having a good time. I’m very thankful for her care and will certainly be back and use Denise again. Thank you 💜
6 stars! Shannon was amazing. I was a little nervous about how my dog would get along with Ziggy but I could tell Ruby had a great time with how tired she was. Shannon was accommodating and gave my pup a safe and fun stay while I got to focus on a bucket list round at Pebble Beach.
The best dog sitters around! I couldn't be happier with the wonderful care Teresa & Robert provided for my baby boy Shadow! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in loving hands. They sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter! Shadow gained a new friend with them ❤️
Robert est rapide à répondre ,il donne des nouvelles dans la journée avec des photos ce qui est très appréciable. L'environnement est safe, et il y a un grand parc à côté . Mon chien a adoré son balcon ,je recommande vivement si vous voulez visiter la région en ayant l'esprit tranquille
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My pups felt so comfortable and happy from the moment they arrived. Having free access to the backyard was such a treat for them - they had the best time! Honestly, I was a little afraid they wouldn’t want to come home 😊 we can’t wait to book again and are so grateful for the wonderful care and love. Thank you Emily!!!
Abby was wonderful! Westley had the best time! Abby sent us great photos with updates of his playtime with Abby's other dogs. She definitely provides a very loving home, and would HIGHLY recommend Abby. We would definitely have Abby take care of Westley again!!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Del Monte Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Del Monte Forest on Rover is $19.81 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 281 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Del Monte Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Del Monte Forest commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 281 sitters in Del Monte Forest, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
