“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
“Amber took great care of my doggone. They went on adventures and my dog was returned sleepy and happy! Amber had treats ready at drop off to make the transition easier. She made sure to check for any issues she'd need to know of. I was confident with Amber taking care of my pup. He had a great time!”
About: I have two fur babies of my own and know they’re a lot of work! I love to help other families and learn more from others. I’m currently working part time and am on summer vacation so my schedule is currently very flexible! I can plan accordingly to best meet you. Working with each pet is different. Depending on what routine you have your pet on is what I will adapt to! I know from experience that they need attention and play just like children.
About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
“Jill was awesome and Jack really enjoyed his day with her. He came back cleaner than when we left him and a happy pup. Would definitely use Jill again when we are in the Monterey area!”
“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”
“Citlali was super responsive, flexible, and just great. Super appreciate her dealing with my last minute and changing needs! My dog is usually very hesitant going to new people/places but she was surprisingly comfortable with her, her husband, and cat 😊”
“Thank you so much! Really appreciate you being there for us, made our trip to Monterey and put us at ease. Bron really liked spending time with you, we couldnt have asked for more!”
About: I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and puppy, so I’m very in tune with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a bit of training, or prefers a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play. I also share my home with my loving boyfriend Ahmed, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, you can trust your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment the whole time. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dog, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps her burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. For cats, I create a cozy, quiet space where they can feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“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.”
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.
“Huge thanks to Elizabeth! She's a wonderful dog sitter. My little baby was so well looked after while I explored the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my baby. So grateful for her care! She seemed so calm and content when I picked her up, clearly enjoyed her stay 🥰”
“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!”
About: I've taken care of all different sizes of dogs since I was 14! From King Charles Cavaliers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, to chihuahuas! I am home all day and able to take them on potty breaks as needed :) I'm currently on summer break from school so I am able to give your pets all the love and attention they may need! I'm not working over the summer so pet care will be my full priority! Our apartment complex has a fenced-dog park and we have a very sweet and friendly golden retriever puppy to give your pet company! We also live in a very safe neighborhood to take your pet on walks!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marina
Annabelle has been consistent in communication and Egypt seems to have liked her since the very beginning. Was understanding and provided a good/safe environment for my pup! It's just Egypt and I against the world and we will definitely be reaching out to Annabelle again if we need daycare/boarding services in the future.
Asja is amazing and took great care of my dog Roo. She was prompt with her responses, followed all instructions and went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She kept him really engaged the whole day and he was tired and had enjoyed his time by the end of the day. My dog is high energy aussie and she was able to easily manage that.
MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!
Having Marta take care of our pups during this trip to Monterey was such a relief. She took them to a local dog park, had toys ready, and made sure they had everything they needed to be happy and comfortable. My girls played so much that when they got home, they went straight to their naps. I really appreciated Marta’s communication, flexibility, and overall kindness. This was my first time using the Rover app, and she made the experience feel easy and reassuring. I also appreciated that she agreed to meet Gracie and Dulce a week before. That helped me feel much more comfortable with the arrangement and gave me a chance to share a little about their personalities and needs. Lucky doggies, they had a blast while I worked. I am very thankful for the care Marta gave them and would gladly trust her with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Marina on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Marina 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 463 sitters in Marina, 87% 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.
