Natalie is the best. I've tried a few other sitters when she wasn't available but it wasn't the same. Her Rover cards at the end of each really visit shows she cares. The best photos, I really feel that my boy is safe with her.

My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. * I have children in the home, so I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around kids Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away.

Andrea was so kind and accommodating for our special requests and went out of her way to work with our schedule. She even made sure to bring her son so they could play together (my dogs love kids) and gave them such good love and attention that they barely missed me. She went above and beyond and was so professional, can't recommend enough!!

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have personally owned five beloved dogs throughout my life, including my current little companion Leo. All of my dogs lived well into their senior years, so I'm very familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and care older pets need. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with medication schedules, mobility challenges, and special feeding routines. I've also provided overnight house and pet sitting for a home with three dogs and two cats over several years, making sure every pet received individual attention and care. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and especially enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm patient with shy or anxious dogs and work at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel calm, loved and well cared for while their families are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and my weekends are usually open as well. I'm able to give pets plenty of attention during visits and can accommodate multiple visits per day when needed. I'm also happy to stay in local hotels with your dog while you go out and about! When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and daily care so pets feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their families are away. I'm attentive to details such as making sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are properly fitted for walks, and the home is left just as it was found. I respect each client's home and privacy and treat it with the same care I would my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before new bookings so both pets and owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. If requested I'm glad to bring in mail or packages during visits.

About: I’ve sat for friends and family through out the years. I’ve also taken care of my own animals for years and have become more attentive throughout the years of getting older and being in charge of 2 dogs and 2 cats at one point. I’m used to being around rescue animals with anxieties as all of my animals have been rescued. I would love to care for your pets and treat them as one of my family members and best friend. I am currently a hostess part-time and have a pretty open schedule. I would love to have dog walks and hanging out with dogs and cats be part of my daily routine again. Since living in an apartment I had to leave my childhood dog at home with my mom. I’m used to giving medicating in food and treats as well as through syringes in the mouth. I am also used to preparing food meals.

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. I couldn’t have been happier to find her - highly recommend just after one walk!

About: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.

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 for Dog Walking in Monterey on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,167 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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 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.
