Dog Walkers in Notleys Landing, CA

“Christie was very sweet to my babies, was prompt and communicated well. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know my pups, home and concerns. I always worry that my pups are just wild and not following our normal and ongoing training with walkers and sitters. However, during our introductions Christie seemed comfortable correcting behaviors like jumping and chewing. The pups were sad when she left which is a great sign to me!”

About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)

“Fantastic find! Marianne was quick to respond and maintained great communication throughout. We were visiting from out of town and hired her for daily walks. She was great with our 75 lb Labrador.”

About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.

“Natalie took great care of our Yuki (a 3 yr old Shiba Inu) while we were away on vacation. She was very flexible with our schedule and she accommodated all of our needs. She made sure that our pup always had plenty of food and water and even hand fed her when she wasn’t eating as much due to the stress of us not being around. We could tell Yuki just loved her!”

About: *New to Rover…NOT new to pet sitting!* Hi there! My name is Gisella. I live in Big Sur and I absolutely adore dogs (and cats). I’ve owned dogs throughout my whole life…I don’t remember ever not having a dog, actually. All of our dogs have always been rescues/adopted, and with that comes its challenges, especially dealing with different types of personalities in dogs. I’m comfortable with all dogs, big or small, young or old. I worked for Carmel Valley Vet and was team leader at Dawg House Grooming Salon in Carmel Valley Village. I can ensure your pet will be in great care with some of my amazing references. I have years of dog sitting/walking, house sitting experience and I’ll treat your pets as my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m pretty flexible. I can do overnights in your home or in my home (as long as my dog approves), I can do drop in visits, and I can do walks. I can pretty much do anything you need. I have a fully fenced front yard. The property is not accessible to any trails as we live on a cliff side. However, I can drive about five minutes and walk your pup if need be. If I’m staying in your home I will do whatever you usually do for your pet.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter and walker is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve cared for everything from tiny puppies to extra-large dogs, as well as senior pets, special needs dogs (including those with doggie dementia), and cats. I’m skilled in administering medications and providing the patience and care that senior or special needs pets require. My background extends beyond dogs—I’ve also raised chickens, quail, guinea pigs, and rabbits, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior and needs. With a lifetime of animal care and a deep commitment to their well-being, I offer a level of experience and love that you and your pets can trust. Pet sitting and care fit seamlessly into my daily life because animals have always been a central part of who I am. As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, from dogs and cats to farm animals, I find joy and fulfillment in making sure they are happy and well-cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves, whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my love for animals and my desire to make their lives better. I provide excellence in pet care by treating every client’s home and pet as if they were my own. Safety is my top priority, and I follow each pet owner’s instructions to the letter, ensuring routines are maintained and each pet’s unique needs are met. I respect my clients’ homes, keeping spaces clean and secure, and I always prioritize open communication to provide updates and peace of mind. My daily experience caring for my own pets gives me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and attention animals need, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while their owners are away.

About: Prior to now, I have owned two dog boutique hotels that I have personally built from the ground up. I am familiar with all kinds of doggies and their personalities. All doggies are special to me and will receive nothing but the best of care and affection. I am currently taking care of pups in your own home unless we discuss and or have made other arrangements. I am also a commissioned artist so I would not be leaving to another job, your pup(s) would be my only concern. I might go run a couple errands, grocery store, etc... but I would enjoy just being home with your pups and painting, exercising, playing with them or just doing whatever they are familiar in doing with you. As to your own personal instructions only. I understand, every dog has their own individual personality and each puppy has special needs. I will accompany each puppy as you wish.

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

About: I got my first dog when I was 7 and was a part of the training process from the beginning. I have taken care of pets of varying ages but I always make sure to give each one the attention and love that they deserve, despite their age. My favorite part about taking care of pets is going outside and enjoying nature together. During summer I have a lot of free time to take care of pets pretty much anytime. However, during the school year, I mostly only have availability on the weekends due to school and sports. I care for pets by always giving them the proper food that their owners approve of while also staying with them long enough for them to go to the bathroom if needed. And, I spend time either playing with them or going for a walk, depending on the service and the clients' request.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life.I can take your dog to parks or to the rivers to swim. At the park we can play with your dogs toys. I like to maintain myself busy and responsible but also have fun when taking care of cute furry friends. With school I am a lot more flexible with talking care of loved ones. I have a spacious fenced yard and plenty of shade for your friend. We have a deck as well. Their is a park and river near by so we can go on walks and play. I have a blanket as well for your friend.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience with dog sitting. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I treat every dog like my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust—and I’m here to give your dog the care, attention, and love they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had dogs, so feeding, walking, and spending time with them fits easily into my schedule. When I’m dog sitting, I adjust my day to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they’re used to. I care for pets like they’re my own—whether in my home or yours. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love and attention.

About: Our walks are more than just potty breaks—they’re mini-adventures filled with sniffs, tail wags, and social time with Waffles, our sweet golden retriever sidekick. Each outing is tailored to your pup’s energy level and curiosity, offering enrichment, exercise, and the joy of exploring new sights, smells, and friends. Whether your dog is a curious puppy or a seasoned trail trotter, we turn every walk into something special. We offer 2–3 daily walks plus a beach or trail adventure—aka The Ruff Route—led by Waffles, our golden retriever guide and sniff expert. Every outing blends play, socialization, and exploration to keep your pup happy, tired, and tail-wagging. Your dog’s safety and happiness are our top priorities. We use secure leashes, practice positive reinforcement, and carefully match playmates. Every walk is supervised with love and attention in a calm, enriching environment—so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands (and paws).
