“Macy is punctual and wonderful with my dog. I appreciate the effort she puts into each walk and really makes the most out of the time. Highly recommended her.”

About: I have watched animals of all kinds since I was a child including squirrels, ducks, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I have been a dog owner of a variety of breeds since I was born. I love going on walks with my pup, and lots of snuggles! As a dog mom myself the pets health and wellbeing are my number one priority! I am a preschool teacher who works Monday through Thursdays from 9 to 1-2:30. I’m an early riser so I’m up early taking care of my dogs and cats before I go into work. The first thing I do when I get home is take my dog on a long walk. The rest of the evening I usually spend at home with my loved ones unless I’ve have other plans! The well-being safety and health of my pets are always my number one priority. I don’t have kids of my own yet, so I treat them like they’re mine. Both my pup and my kittens get two healthy portions of meals a day, daily attention, and lots of exercise.
“Very communicative! My dog was extremely happy and calm when I got home. Trust worthy and very thorough when reporting about how he did since he is older with health issues. Will definitely invite her back.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 my family members and my friends always count on me to take care of their dogs when needed. I’m a huge dog lover and a dog owner myself and I worked in a vet clinic before. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to have doggy time and to have fun with them and take very good care of them. I’m always available in the mornings after 9am till 2 pm I live in an apartment but I love taking dogs on a walk and I love taking them outside and playing with them just having a fun time with them in general while taking care of them. They will take potty times very 2 hours and make sure they get a lot of walk time and play time.
“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”

About: Hello! I’m Reign and I am looking to provide exceptional pet sitting services for beloved companions. I am American Red Cross certified in Cat and Dog First Aid/ CPR, please check my photos for certificate. I have always enjoyed caring for animals since I was a young girl. We always had multiple pets in the home growing up, so I know the attention and connection needed when caring for someone else’s furry friend. Caring for animals is a very fulfilling way for me to spend my time. Hello, I am newly full time stay at home and will be widely available for a range of services. I would like for this to be a fulfilling activity long term. Reliable transportation, willing to travel, open schedule, can host many pets/services. For Boarding (In your Home or Mine) Reach out as soon as possible. I will still accept day before request but please allow as much notice as possible. Thank you for your business. The Golden Rule. Treat others how you would like to be treated. I was raised in a traditional home so I do mind my manners and actions when I occupy others spaces. I know fuzzy friends can have a mind of their own, but I expect the same treatment when vice versa. Thank you!
About: I've taken care of pets, mostly cats, since I was 8. My mom's side of the family were vet techs and farm kids, so I've grown up knowing how to take care. I've also handled multiple special needs animals, both dogs and cats with skin and diet issues. I understand how animals can be with new people, and take the time and energy to let them trust me. I will be working and going to school in the upcoming spring semester. I like to travel so certain dates may be unavailable, however, I love to take care of animals and will dedicate my time to their care. I follow instructions that the owner would like, and supervise their fur-baby to keep them safe from eating things they shouldn't, staying within their allowed area, and most importantly, being able to be themselves and play or relax. I understand how to give medications, even to those pets that do not like taking them. I want to give the care that I would want my pets to have.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I love meeting new animals! i’ve rescued cats and dogs and even volunteered at the shelter for over a year! i work part time but im available any time im not working! :) i’ve worked with all sorts of dogs including high energy, puppies, and senior dogs. i’m also able to work with dogs that are reactive! i am available to give medication as well! i currently work a full-time job so i need to know in advance about petsitting in case i am working! that way i can see if it can be worked out! i like to meet the dog calmly and maybe give them a treat so that they know they can trust me, i also like to know about the dogs behavior and how they are around other people’s cats/animals!
About: Hey there everybody! The summer is upon us and I am ready to spend time with your fur babies! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
About: In my opinion, all dogs are puppies and should be pampered as such. A good foundation of commands is an important part of keep your dog safe at any age or size. I have an excellent handle of simple commands and leash etiquette. I am also comfortable with all ages, sizes, and special needs. I teach during the year, so my summer is wide-open to make sure your dog or cat is well taken care of. I don’t need a lot of notice. Our dog and two cats live together quite harmoniously. They love to play and snuggle. We have a large fenced in backyard and we crate our dog at night or when we are out of the house. Both our cats are indoor cats.
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”


About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 I work from home and set my own schedule, but after years of doing this, it can feel secluded so this is my way of getting out and about and getting to know my community. Pets should be cared for the way Auntie cares for her nephews and nieces. Mom and Dad have rules and you stick to them, but Auntie is more fun!
Monterey dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christy has been walking our boys Jack and Cartman weekly for over a month. Christy is always prompt and does a great job. She truly is an expert and that was clear right away during our meet and greet with the types of questions she was asking about our boys. In December my husband and I added a new human addition to the family and we couldn't provide the boys as much walking and exercise they were used to. Thanks to Christy our boys are happier and getting the exercise they need! I can't say enough about how great Christy has been, thanks!

Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!
