About: Growing up on a ranch, animals have always been a big part of my life. Dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, llamas, you name it! I can hardly remember a time in my life that there hasn't been a dog or cat (or several of each) sharing our home and consider myself lucky to have had them in my life. I have substantial experience with all age groups: puppies & kittens to mature pets needing special care. Working remotely, my schedule is very flexible in offering care of those in need. Kind, Caring, Responsible & Happy to help! I work remotely, with a very flexible schedule. It's easy for me to adjust to fit your pet's needs! I've called Monterey home for several decades, loving all that it has to offer & will take every excuse to be outside! Years of working in hospitality have engrained a deep sense of responsibility in caring for other's needs and by extension, their environment. Happy to help with yours!

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will leave it exactly as I found it. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, you can count on me to provide reliable care and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also enjoy helping with basic home-care needs while you’re away, such as bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, adjusting lights/blinds, and making sure everything looks secure and in order. Feel free to ask if you need a little extra help while you’re traveling! I have a lot of availability. Just let me know a day or two in advance and we can make it work. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I am a safe and reliable house sitter. I will leave your home exactly as you left it and take good care of it while you’re gone. I will also take good care of your fur babies!

About: I took a break from Rover after moving overseas for 5 years, but I’m back in the states and ready to spend quality time with your pet! I am mostly experienced with small-medium dogs, with breeds like terriers, poodles, chihuahuas, corgis, and shelties. I grew up caring for hamsters and parakeets, and got involved with dogs and cats while attending in university through volunteering with local shelters and rescues. I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own, and also took in a stray kitten for a few weeks until finding a permanent home for her. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, but more recently learned a lot about senior care as my own dog is geriatrix and needs more patience and empathy. If you have a senior dog that needs special attention, I’m happy to accommodate their needs so you can have peace of mind that your pup is being cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of flexibility during the week to drop by your home for some play time and exercise! I respect that every pet has individual needs. Whether they need extra time to warm up or want space from others when out and about, I will learn your pet’s preferences and advocate for them to ensure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I love animals and have been working with animals for years. I have a doctorate in Chinese energetic medicine specializing in oncology and neurological disorders. I took a couple years off to be my grandfather’s full-time caregiver and then currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your beautiful fur babies. I am also writing children’s and qigong movement books in my spare time. I have used this knowledge to help people and animals. I believe all animals in the house hold are part of the family and should always be treated with love and care. I can not think of any other greater joy in life then to take care of people and animals. It is always a great pleasure for me to house sit and taking care of peoples dogs, or any animal in the house, while they were on long vacations, or just needing someone to help them out on a long work week. I am here to help. Thank you I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. I adjust to your routine so that your fur baby constantly has consistency. I follow my clients house rules, and always make sure the house is picked up and in order when they come home. My priority is to always make sure your fur baby is feeling safe and secure in there home.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 3 years, some family members always comes to me to pet sit their dogs when they go on vacation. I love dogs I currently have a part-time job. So I have the whole afternoon to play with my dog, and take her on walks. I love to give her as much attention as possible. I also love going on walks for my own health, and getting a breather from home. I have a fenced front yard, and have 1 french bulldog that loves to play and is really energetic. I have extra crates just in case of anything.

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.

Natalie is the most professional dog walker that we have ever had. We are so fortunate to have found her. Our senior dog is no longer with us and Natalie jumped right in with our new puppy and ever present Cooper. We highly recommend and appreciate all the time and effort that Natalie takes in caring for our dogs.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Monterey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Monterey is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $44 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,164 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Monterey after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
