About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats almost my entire life! It started with asking my neighbor if I could walk her dog when I was 8 years old, and I’ve never looked back! Since, I’ve watched countless animals (sheep and cows too!) and also have spent a lot of time volunteering at local animal shelters in Los Angeles and while studying at college in Maine. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments of dogs, and can provide any service (think all the way from couch potato to a long hike!) I’m committed to keeping all animals safe, healthy, and happy no matter what, and am excited to help in any way! I am able to walk dogs on my days off from my service, and can sometimes even manage to walk dogs around my schedule, usually later in the day. I have a fenced yard, gates up inside of the house, and another dog (a 4 year old Golden Retriever) as well as two adults living in the house, offering great safety and security in the environment. My dog is not currently with me, but because I have experience of living with animals, it’s quite easy for me to adapt to someone else’s space with animals! I prefer a clean, organized space where animals feel calm.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for 20+ years. Would love to care for yours now. I am physically fit and strong enough to walk large dogs. I work full time do am really only available for house sitting on Sundays(all day and night) and Monday mornings. I am though available for drop in visits or dog walking on other days. If you live local to me and your animal is ok to be left alone while i am at work then maybe I could watch your animal other days during the week. Happy to hang out with pets. Love taking dogs for walks!!! Giving medicine is not a problem. I am good with dogs and cats of all ages.

“Camille was extremely reliable and caring for our two dogs! She came everyday rain or shine and would even check the weather and make recommendations to adjust the timing of the walk based on the weather that day. When she noticed the health of one of the dogs was not normal that day she notified us immediately so we could help the dog. She included updates about the dogs health in the following days. She was exactly what the doggies needed and she will be greatly missed while she is on her research trip!”

About: I am a registered nurse so I only work 3 days a week. I grew up with animals, I attended training classes and one point we had 3 dogs living in our home at once. I grew up with a Laborador Retreiever, a mini Shnauzer Poodle mix and a hound mix, so I have had experience caring for each type of dog and any accommodations they may require. I eventually want a dog of my own but I am unable to at this moment in my life. My goal is to help people give their dogs the best life they can lead. Life gets busy and one of the greatest joys in our lives are our furry best friends and I want to help you give them the life they deserve.

“Sydney was fantastic!! Chloe was so happy!! I would highly recommend Sydney to anyone! Chloe would too🐾❤️ certainly took the worry out of my days away knowing she was being taken care of so wonderfully!!”

I would’ve want to offer an overnight stay. Just to come over and let your dog out or take your pet on walk.
“McKenna came to walk my pup today and I came home to a happy and tired dog. McKenna is a very reliable, punctual, and caring dog sitter. She is extremely trustworthy and I recommend her wholeheartedly. My dog loves her!”

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats. My family was part of helping a farm when i was little, I got to take care of ducks. They were so cute. I love animals and let me know if you had questions. I work at Marshall’s. I will be taking care of the animals during my days off. I will make sure they have everything they need I grew up with cats and dogs. I love all kinds of animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 755 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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
