1. Kelly R.
“Kelly is fantastic! Moved to a new area and had to leave our walker of about 6-7 yrs. My lil’ guy took to her immediately. Phew! And she gives great updates, sends multiple photos and keeps you feeling comfortable while at work. Had an issue at the beginning as I forgot to leave the key. Kelly was great communicating and we were still able to have a walk. She’s conscientious of the weather and warm days to take it easy. Highly recommend!!!! Yay Kelly!!!”

About: I am a Certified Fear Free Pet Care Professional with Pet First Aid certification and a proud member of Pet Sitters International. My lifelong connection with animals has guided my work with shelters, rescues, and pet sitting for cats, dogs, horses, and more. As a pet parent to two fluffy companions, I understand that every animal is a unique individual with their own needs and personality. I exclusively use Fear Free methods and positive reinforcement training, which builds trust and helps animals learn effectively and happily—without the stress of aversive techniques. As a dedicated Pet Care Professional, Monterey Dog is my full-time commitment. With a minimum of 72 hours' notice, I do my best to accommodate all client needs. For requests with less notice, I will strive to make it work, but availability may be limited. Your pet’s care is always my priority! Your companion deserves the best — I go beyond basic drop-in supervision to provide comprehensive, all-inclusive attention to your pet’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. From tailored walks around your neighborhood, enrichment activities and cuddles, to grooming requests and medication administration, every detail is covered to ensure your pet feels comfortable, engaged, and safe.

About: Hi, I’m Gabrielle. I’ve always been a big animal lover and have been dog sitting for years. I love volunteering at the humane society, so have experience with lots of pup personalities :) I am happy to drive to you, and am also glad to take your dog on hikes/runs/etc if they are more energetic. I have experience with animal training so don’t worry if your dog/puppy is still learning. I'm working full-time but am flexible in scheduling times that work for you. I will make sure your pup gets lots of outdoor time and love. I care for dogs by first getting to know their personalities! We will go on walks, play with toys, hike, or whatever makes your dog happy and comfortable :)

20. Rona L.
About: I've been watching after my neighbors' pets since I was a kid. I love to spend time with them and talk to them all the time. Every job I have is in a pet-friendly environment, so I have the chance to play with a lot of dogs with different temperaments. I work remotely and have flexible schedule towards caring your best friends. I am free on weekdays afternoons and weekends and goes hiking in my free time. I have a friendly aussie pup that can keep your puppy company. Since my dog is very active, we spend a lot of time doing physical and mental exercise. I take the pups for long walks twice a day minimum, play fetch or tug everyday, and I also provide daily mental stimulation like simple training or snuffle mats.
