About: I grew up with German Shepherds. Since 2013 I have had the honor of being a mom to 9 dogs who are and have been absolutely loved and spoiled! Bear Gwendolyn (Rottweiler) crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12 from Osteosarcoma, Spike Jamison ( German Shepherd) crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 10 from Hermangiosarcoma. Enzo Ferarri crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12 from complications of Cushings Disease. Enzo was my heart and soul pup. I am currently dog mom to: Delco Dani - Female spayed 2 year old Rottweiler Mantequilla Rouix - Female non spayed 1-year old Field Golden Retriever Rookington Highpockets - Male spayed 2 year old Anatolian Shepherd Fia Versace - Female spayed 13 year old Minature Pinscher Rico Suave- Male spayed 12 year old Daschund- chihuahua mix I currently pet sit my 8 month old German Shepherd Fur niece Pepper Jack Cheese I temporarily fostered Kyra a 5 year old bully mix from November 2025 until April 2026. I took her in from a man I helped on a call at work. He had to have his leg amputated and had no family to take her at the time. 22 years as a police officer 17 years as a helicopter crew chief in the USAF I had a miniature pinscher who was diabetic and had cushings. I also have three dogs who currently need medications. I am able to administer medications. My dogs are all different energy levels and each dog has its own personality. I understand every dog is different 😁 I understand different work shifts and needs. Will offer military, police, and first responder discounts. I retired after 20 years of policing in NY. I am currently back working for another PD here in KY but I am in the process of going back to retired life. I spend a lot of time with my pups. My schedule will be part time for now but transition to full time pet sitter. I have a fenced in yard so plenty of space for play. I will care for your pet in your home according to your pets needs and instructions. Each pet is different and has their own personality so I will cater to those needs.

Misty was great with both of our dogs. Even our high-strung Collie/Shepherd mix warmed up to her. Happy she is available to take care of them. : )

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life. I have cared for senior animals when it got more difficult and puppies that needed round-the-clock care. I’ve also been trusted by family, neighbors, and friends to care for their homes and pets while they were away. I’m a recent college grad and have not yet found employment, so my schedule is wide open! I will be available Monday through Sunday at all hours. I do not offer boarding in my home, however I can supervise multiple dogs at once, walk dogs, follow specific feeding instructions, and respect the boundaries of your cat. I can also work with security systems and keep your home safe and neat.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s spending time with dogs, visiting cat cafés, or stopping by the humane society to hang out with the animals there. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Have also house and plant sat for people over the years and always enjoyed helping out. I work full time, so I have a consistent routine and know how to manage my time well. I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and can work with pet owners to make sure their pets stay on their normal schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I work to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household preferences. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior. With my background working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of attention to detail and prompt communication if concerns arise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: As far as cats go, I have experience bathing, brushing, and trimming nails. As well as bathing and brushing for dogs. I also have experience administering liquid and pill medicine for both cats and dogs. :) I am the parent of a lazy domestic short hair cat named Eddie. I’ve had him for about three years and before Mr. Eddie, I’ve helped in providing care for many cats and dogs of all different breeds for family and friends. I feed Eddie twice a day (morning and night) and refill his water fountain every morning. Litter is changed every other day. He has two cat towers and more toys than I can count. He enjoys playing with other cats and has no problem sharing his space. As for pets in others homes I follow routines exactly as instructed.

About: Greetings, valued customers, my name is Jordan. I appreciate you viewing my profile to get to know me a little better. I kindly ask that you read my profile in ENTIRETY so you have a better understanding to determine if we are a great fit and for detailed scheduling information down below. I look forward to hearing from you and I'm delighted to be here for all your animal care needs. I have cared for fish, dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, bearded dragons, snakes, chickens, goats, bunnies, doves, mini horses, pigs, other farm animals, and other reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. I have been offering animal care services for eight years, and I completely love and enjoy doing it. The love that animals have for humans is an incredible thing to experience. Caring for animals makes my life so much more meaningful, and I love doing it for people who need my services. Also, knowing that people need my animal care services, fulfills my passion for helping others in life. I love and enjoy being of service to others, and it makes me so happy to be able to do so. I'm currently working as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) (I work with people with autism and help them better adapt to everyday life), and I work with Rover as a petsitter as well. If you contact me for a lenghty petsit, I am able to ask off work with no complications (with more than a 2 week notice), however if you are in need of a speedy petsit, I can work with your schedule (but I may have to work a few hours during the day on week days, with no complications). My Rover calender will reflect my availability will continually be updated. Please check the calender before reaching out. Thank you for your understanding. I prefer going to a client's house to take care of their animals in a familiar environment, along with a detailed list of instructions of do's and dont's for their pet. Instructions on animal care are to ensure the animal's safety when they are with me, without me needing to unnecessarily contact and bother the owner while they are away. Also, a general list of outdoor activities I can do with the pet is welcome. For example, if I can take the pet hiking, to the park, for walks, etc. Also, does your pet get along with other animals, children, or people well, and does your pet get car sick? These variables are essential information for me to know to ensure the best care while you are away. My passion is pets, and I want to ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me, so I highly encourage more than enough information on caring for your babies. Please note if your location is 40 miles, plus, in distance from my Rover given location, I charge for milage, for the traveling/distance in the initial reservation contact message for meet and greets. I will send you a new quote to your initial request for these changes in price due to milage charges. Thank you for understanding this policy.

About: My name is Allie, and I’m a 28 year old ER nurse of 6 years who is also an RN (and may or may not have missed my calling as a vet haha). Don’t get me wrong, I love caring for humans, but my real passion lies in caring for animals. I’m taking a break in between travel nursing jobs, and decided what to devote my time than caring for and loving on your furry family member! I am offering all services from dog walking, house visits, house sitting at your house, and am even open to accepting cats! I have two mini golden doodles of my own that I care for, but no worries- they would not need to be brought over to your space for any reason. I have experience working in pet stores throughout college, and also grew up caring for our family’s dogs from a young age! I have experience administering medicine for epileptic animals as one of my dogs at home has seizures. Feel free to ask me for my phone number. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to help you out with your fur babies!! I am taking a couple months off of work so I have a very open schedule to fit all your animal needs! When I go back to work I only work 3 days a week, so I will still have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I respect your home environment and ensure that I leave your home in the exact condition I found it in. I will also ensure the safety of your home in terms of locking doors, enabling security cameras/alarms, etc.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Monterey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 254 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:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
