Dog Walking Marina

“I trust Azia completely with my reactive dog, which says everything. She is kind, gentle, calm, and also strong enough to confidently handle a big rambunctious dog. She truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their well-being. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her.”

About: Can you believe my parents didn't want a dog until I came along? When I was "finally old enough", I raised my first puppy. I've raised 3 puppies (family members) since then. What I have to offer: •available day + night - work from home (weekends off) •no breed or size restrictions •if your dog is high energy and large, then he/she must know basic commands like no, yes, come, stay. ♥ I will only care for one dog at a time (an exception can be made if you have two) since I want to give your dog (and mine) all the love. ♥ About me: my name is Scarlitte (pronounced scar-lett) Alameda, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics. I love to bake, relax outside with a cup of coffee, and dogs (of course). I moved back to the Monterey area in 2024. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I'm not active on them, but I like to check up on friends and family once in a blue moon. My dog, Luna, and I visit Broadneck dog park in the morning for about an hour. Here your dog can •run •zoom around with other dogs •play fetch •lay down under the shade. Luna normally sleeps until 3pm. She has a potty break around noon. In the evening, we drive to the dog park, and later we lay on the couch together. I have a fenced in backyard, many dog toys, leashes, an Apple ID tag, and a extra dog bed available. The water bowl is regularly cleaned and refilled. Because I only care for one dog at a time (other than my own), my house is clean. The only exception is rainy days since dogs have muddy feet. I can provide: • one on one attention • the best pets and rubs • speaking in a special voice for dogs • being active with your dog • on weekends my husband will remix songs he knows and insert your dogs name (don't tell him I told you though) • cool math facts since I'm a mathematician.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Huskies, so I’ve gotten to know just about every size, personality, and energy level in between! I’ve been actively involved in caring for my family’s pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking within my community since I was 11 years old. As a rescue dog owner myself, I understand that not every dog is outgoing, confident, or immediately comfortable with new people and situations. I have plenty of hands-on experience with timid, anxious, reactive, and quirky dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, no matter their personality or background! I also have lots of experience caring for puppies, so I’m no stranger to the extra attention, patience, and energy that comes with young dogs! From frequent potty breaks and playtime to reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, I’m happy to adapt to your puppy’s needs. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you the peace of mind to feel just as comfortable while you’re away! As a college student, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! My only regular scheduling conflicts are Wednesday evenings and Friday midday, so I’m available most days throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a quick check-in, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s needs and routine! I currently offer pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment through walks, toys, or quality time together. For cats, I’m also happy to take care of litter box cleaning and other daily needs. I always make sure pets are secure and the home is left tidy before leaving. I also prioritize keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing while you’re away! I’m happy to accommodate any additional instructions or preferences to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.

About: Hi! My name is Anastasiya and I’d love to look after your precious pet! I have experience looking after both cats and dogs of many sizes. I prioritize exploration and playtime with your fur baby. Routine is important, and special instructions will definitely be followed. Expect lots of photo updates, extra tail wags, and peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule for all hours of the week. My calendar is always kept up-to-date, so feel free to reach out with your dates or to request a meet-and-greet! I’ll make to sure to treat your baby as one of my own! A good walk, a full bowl of food and lots of cuddles is always my number one goal!

About: I have years of experience dog sitting and working at a pet day care/hotel. I’m great at following instructions and making sure your pet’s needs are met and go above and beyond! I have experience with more stubborn walkers like my dog, Luna, and also have experience with cats. I am a student and have regular free hours in my week, so I can remain dedicated and consistent in my care! I am able to build my schedule around bookings, and have a car and ability to take public transit. I can keep you updated, follow instructions, and make sure your pet gets a lot of love! I can take dogs on long walks and/or focus on enrichment. I’m here for what your pets needs most!

“Alicia is great. My dogs can be apprehensive with strangers so I was a little nervous how it would go hiring a stranger to walk them. She was slow with them so they have learned to trust her. I'm very happy. Always on time and gives updates right away.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 14 years old. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and lounging around with cats! I like to go on walks in the morning and sometimes at night, so this is a perfect time to get a dog walk in! I ensure they are safely in their crates in necessary, feed them at the appropriate time, take them outside if needed, and enjoy spending time with them.

About: I have worked with many different personalities in both cats and dogs. I put my all into the work that I do and I will ensure to take care of all responsibilities for your fur baby, and will provide authentic love and care for your fur baby! I am trustworthy and will take many photos while you are away to provide peace while you are away. 🐾 Being a stay at home mother, comes with flexibility and open availability in my schedule to meet client needs. I am available for drop-in visits, boarding in my home, and dog walking. House sitting needs would need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. I will care for your fur babies like I would my own. I take all responsibilities very seriously and ensure that I do my very best. With this would include playing with your cat or dog, as this is something every animal needs!

About: I've been taking care of pets ever since I was a freshman in high school. I have pet sat, done check ins, and walk dogs frequently. I stay in shape and specialize with high energy dogs, and can provide the same amount of care to low energy dogs. I love dogs, and miss my dogs back home! I want to help take care of yours! I am a freshman at CSUMB staying on campus with my vehicle, with classes Monday-Thursday. I am available on the weekends at any time in the day, and my mondays are free until 3 pm. I am available early mornings on Wednesday-Thursday, and available after dinner all nights. I am young and active, and have a love for dogs. This is something I enjoy doing, and pay very close attention to pets to ensure safety. I am very energetic, and can match your dogs energy to wear them out , and get them out of the house. At home, I have a very high energy dog and a very low energy dog, and know how to work with a wide range of dogs.

About: I love animals. I am an environmental science student at CSUMB and I’ve worked with animals for many years! I had a pretty set client base in my hometown and I am hoping to get some more new clients here in Monterey! I am thoughtful, kind, and will take great care of your furry friend! I will always do everything in my power to ensure your animals feels safe, cared for, and happy when I am around:-) I am a student and most of my time is spent doing homework. On days where I have clients I do everything with the animal I am with! They are the main focus and I love taking dogs with me everywhere and sitting and playing with cats. Animals have always had a liking to me. I am very knowledgeable on all types of dogs and cats so I will always ensure that they feel safe and comfortable while I am around. I do not mind dogs in my car so I will always find the time to bring them to a dog park (if the dog is able to of course) and so they can have plenty of time outside to socialize and enjoy their time with me! Cats love to snuggle with me and I will always appreciate some relaxing cat time. Both my cats are harness trained and I bring them outside quite often as well!

“Brittany is wonderful and loved having her walk my pups. Great communication and I knew they were in great hands. I will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 15 for my neighbor and I have loved it ever since. After that I started pet sitting and walking for any of my friends when they needed! About 2 years ago I got a dog of my own as well, he’s a black lab named talford so I’m great with big hyper dogs as well as any other dog with different personality! I also work at pacific pet treats and can help with any treats or item that can help your doggy! I’m currently working part time and I have a lot of time in my day to take care of pets as well as on the weekends! Weekend’s I’m usually working 5am so I’m done for the rest of the day after that! I have a huge backyard with only my black lab who uses all the space, he is very friendly and needs another doggo friend! There is plenty of safe toys and running space for your doggo! In my clients home I will be respectful and care for the dog per instructions as every dog is cared for in a different way! I will also take care of kitties!!

“Carol was fantastic! She was responsive to my request for a dog walker and was great in communicating with me before, during and after. We were on vacation staying at a hotel with our dog. Carol’s dog walking service enabled us to have two daytime outings without worrying about him. Thanks, Carol!”

Kristin O.

“Kara helped me out with a last minute need and she did an excellent job with my dog! This was my second time hiring Kara and she is always reliable and trustworthy.”

About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time

“Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!”

Cristina B.

“Mari is fabulous! Nat was a bit unhappy to be woken from her nap but Mari handled it like the pro she is. They had nice, productive walks and her communication was top notch. She was always on time, gave me a full rundown and she is a lovely person. After meeting with her, I was at ease knowing me sweet senior pup would be well taken care of and I was spot on. I will happily use Mari again and recommend her without hesitation. In fact, I already have some upcoming dates in mind and felt comfortable in booking my next trip knowing my baby would be well taken care of in my absence. Thank you Mari for taking such good care of Nat and being so accommodating.”

About: I like to be active and go on runs or walks, so I can do any activity like that with your dog(s); whether we're playing fetch, going on walks/runs, visiting the park, etc. and I am a very patient and loving person! It would be a pleasure to have fun with your dog(s) in any capacity! I have experience house/dog sitting and running with even the most energetic dogs! I also have experience of taking care of puppies and understand the commitment level and patience to hang out with a puppy! I am capable of taking out dogs for walks or playing frequently. I would love to hear more about your pets and how I can help out! I work nearby in Monterey and some days I work from home. I can walk early mornings or after work days. I am flexible and can be available for weekends. I can do walks or runs in various areas. I have a small backyard, concrete/dirt mix where my dog has space to run and play fetch. It is all enclosed, and theres even a fake grass patch for dogs. I walk mornings and evenings and can also run dogs with extra energy. I work from home some days of the week so can be with dog for longer parts of the day and schedule can be flexible depending on needs.
