“Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.”
About: Hello! I’m a pet parent to three cats and a senior Yorkie, as well as a trained Doggy Day Out volunteer at SPCA Monterey County. I believe in treating pets with kindness and using low-stress, cooperative-care approaches. I’m currently prioritizing daytime/evening house and hotel sitting and especially welcome these requests. If you need more than a drop-in but not an overnight, please reach out for a custom quote, as these bookings are often priced below my listed house sitting rate. Overnight availability is currently limited. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility. For daytime and evening care, I’m happy to provide custom pricing based on the hours and care needed, as these rates are often below my listed house sitting rate. I will carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to any changes in your pet, and provide photo updates. I also hold an online Pet CPR & First Aid certification and a certificate of completion for Fear Free Shelter Program training. These trainings helped me learn how to recognize common warning signs, reduce pet stress, and take appropriate next steps in a pet emergency.

My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet!

I have the ability to come over at any point during the day and am confident that they will be comfortable and happy!
“We loved having Mari watch our pup. Her calm, peaceful nature was exactly what I look for when leaving my doggo with someone new. If I lived here, I would not hesitate to have her come on a regular basis. Perfect! Thanks Mari 🐶”
“Andrea has been my go-to walker for nearly a year now. She is amazing and so communicative and professional. I don’t know what I’d do without her!! She tailors every walk to your dog’s needs and never disappoints.”
“Natalie did a great job walking my reluctant pup (he sometimes needs encouragement to walk). She was on time, sent a detailed report and the icing on the cake is that my picky dog loved her. I will definitely hire Natalie again to walk Sam.”

“Katt is an incredible dog walker! From the moment she arrived, my dogs were instantly comfortable with her. She was warm, attentive, smart, and asked all the right questions. She came prepared with a fantastic treat bag and a solid understanding and positive reinforcement. She handled my two energetic dogs with ease and confidence, and I immediately felt at ease knowing they were great hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Monterey
We had a great experience with Nicole. My dog warmed up to her right away, and it was clear that she understands dog behavior and knows how to build trust quickly. She was calm and gentle, and gave my dog space to settle in and feel at ease. I was visiting from out of state, and having a sitter I felt comfortable leaving my dog with allowed me to spend a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was a highlight of my trip, and I was able to enjoy it knowing my dog was in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the walk with messages and photos. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with Nicole. For a dog who usually wants to be by my side, that says a lot. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable sitter.
Brooke is awesome! She walked my very excitable pup at last minute's notice. I could tell immediately that she loves animals and has had a lot of experience. She seemed to have confidence in herself to be able to manage a new dog without a problem. That made me confident too. And my doggie loved her! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Monterey on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Monterey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Monterey. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Monterey.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monterey. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
