Dog Walking in Pacific Grove

“Kelly is fantastic! Moved to a new area and had to leave our walker of about 6-7 yrs. My lil’ guy took to her immediately. Phew! And she gives great updates, sends multiple photos and keeps you feeling comfortable while at work. Had an issue at the beginning as I forgot to leave the key. Kelly was great communicating and we were still able to have a walk. She’s conscientious of the weather and warm days to take it easy. Highly recommend!!!! Yay Kelly!!!”

“Talk about a lifesaver! Bria came through for us when we needed her most, taking care of our two dogs on extremely short notice while we visited the aquarium. Her flexibility and willingness to help last-minute truly made our day. Our pups were well-exercised and happy when we returned, which was well appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout, and she sent adorable updates that gave us peace of mind while we were enjoying the aquarium. If you need a trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely caring dog walker, look no further than Bria. We'll definitely be booking her services again!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“Natalie did a great job walking my reluctant pup (he sometimes needs encouragement to walk). She was on time, sent a detailed report and the icing on the cake is that my picky dog loved her. I will definitely hire Natalie again to walk Sam.”

“Natalie did an amazing job walking my dog "Q". She is very reliable and they got along great with each other. I would trust her with my dog anytime.”

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.

“Again, Megan is our go-to dog walker. We have 2 very different dogs and Megan handles them perfectly. We highly recommend Megan and will use her dog walking services in the future. Thank you again Megan!”

“Kenzie did an excellent job. I had a last minute day trip out of town, and Kenzie was able to come by and walk the pups. Saving me a huge headache. I will definitely rebook.”

About: New to this site yet for friends and employers, I've done housesitting and pet sitting for years. I've been vetted, background checked and currently on another popular sitting site. I've just relocated back to the area of Monterey, California where I grew up. I love to be out hiking and walking so if your pet needs exercise and the peace that comes with it, I'm your gal! I usually take myself out walking twice a day. Unless your animal needs special care and can't be active, I believe pets should be active because it makes them feel better, same as us. I'm flexible in my work and don't have the sort of hours that would keep me away from your pet for too long. Regular feeding, bathroom breaks, playing and petting are my top priorities. I do a lot of photography and photos of animals are one of my faves. Your pet could be the next Lassie! Safety is also a top priority. I can either drop in on your pet or do overnight stays, weekly stays, etc. I keep pets safe, doors and windows locked, and the place exactly as you left it. I've traveled for years using Airbnb and have great reviews here for you to peruse – thank you hosts!

“Mari is fabulous! Nat was a bit unhappy to be woken from her nap but Mari handled it like the pro she is. They had nice, productive walks and her communication was top notch. She was always on time, gave me a full rundown and she is a lovely person. After meeting with her, I was at ease knowing me sweet senior pup would be well taken care of and I was spot on. I will happily use Mari again and recommend her without hesitation. In fact, I already have some upcoming dates in mind and felt comfortable in booking my next trip knowing my baby would be well taken care of in my absence. Thank you Mari for taking such good care of Nat and being so accommodating.”

About: I have owned dogs since I was about 2 years old and have had experiences with many dogs with different needs. I have taken care of not only my own but friends and families dogs for years, and I will always be happy to meet a new dog! I am working at an internship right now two days a week and will be starting school in about a month however, this month I am free Tuesday’s Wednesday's, Friday’s, as well as the weekends. I take care of my 3 dogs while my parents at work. I walk them twice a day, play with them, let them out 3-4 times a day and make sure to give them plenty of attention.

About: Hello! Leaving your fur child and best friend is incredibly difficult. As a dog owner myself of two fur kids (beautiful German Shepherd and black lab) , I 100% understand that it’s important to get the right person for the job. While I am relatively new to Rover - I’ve been dog sitting for years. I’ve dealt with young pups full of energy, senior citizens in need of shots and meds, dogs who are best as only children and dogs with an abundance of brothers and sisters! My own dogs are 7 and 6 with one requiring medication so I have plenty of experience administering medication to dogs. I enjoy running and walking and can provide either of these options to your pup. I can care for/walk with reactive dogs and understand how to navigate walks with that type of pet too. Currently waiting for my new job to start, I have 2 months of time to kill. I genuinely think dogs are more awesome than people. I am willing to care for pets at your home (can stay in residence or drop in) and am available for walks/runs with your fur child!

About: We always had pets growing up, when I moved out I missed having those loving beings around me, so I started petsitting. My clients and friends know me as a reliable, loving and caring person and trust me with their loved ones. I am self employed so I can create my own schedule. I am flexible and cater to the needs of my customer. I am sure we can work someting out. I will strictly obey the wishes of my client to make sure their pets are safe and well taken care of. However the clients handle the safety of their pets.

About: I loved dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of many different kinds of dogs since owning mine. My partner and I have a 4 year old, 70 pound golden retriever mix. I raised her mostly by myself for almost 3 years She is a rescue dog from the SFSPCA shelter. I have experience training reactive dogs because my girl had a big issue with biker and skaters. Now she is a lot more comfortable around them. I’m very patient, responsive, reliable and loving. Safety is very important to me. I will make sure your dog is in good care. I work full time at a 7:45am to 4:30pm design job at the office but I love to make time for dog sitting. During the weekdays I can walk your dog at least three times a day.( morning, afternoon, and at night). My partner can also help out. I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment. Just outside my apartment, there is a grassy courtyard that makes it convenient for your dog can play in or go potty. I live right next to a fenced park that I usually go to everyday to let the dogs run around in. My dog gets along with almost everyone.

“Cara is awesome! Our dog is usually very shy and has even hid from a dog walker in the past. She did great with Cara for some walks during the day though. Cara also provided updates and pictures that put us at ease.”

About: Taking care of animals is second nature to me as I have had 2 dogs growing up. I own 2 cats now and wish to have a dog soon. I love animals and animals kind a liking to me as I have a calm and calm and easy going personality. My job is working from home part time. I have plenty of time for taking care of your pets. I am available in morning through evenings, 7 days a week. Some days may vary. My services are limited to dog walking in your neighborhood or any other place of your choosing. My home is not fit for having your fur babies to come inside.

“Denise is wonderful. Super responsive, major dog lover, sensitive to my older dogs needs. 2nd time ive worked with her and will continue to do so in the future🐶”

About: I grew up helping friends, family and neighbors with their cats and dogs. I have taken care of small dogs and big dogs alike. I have experience with senior dogs who need more love than activity. I currently work full time, but I am remote on Fridays. I have ample time available on the weekends to provide support for your furry friend. If you need someone to help with your furry love our house sit for the week of the 4th of July, I’m off that week and available! I allow my pets on the couch, but they have multiple beds to choose from. They have access to water and are secured in the apartment. We only take walks on leash, and I have a gate to keep them secure if the front door needs to be opened. If a client requires a crate for their pet, they will need to bring it.

About: I’ve lived with 4+ animals at one time my entire life. I’m 26 and am the owner of 2 dogs and 2 cats. I love animals. I’m here to care for and keep yours safe. My daily routine is just dedicated to petsitting. I’m upfront with all clients and If I commit to a gig with you, I will honor whatever the time frame requested is. In my home I have a fenced yard and I’m careful when opening doors outside always. If I am in your home I will leave it the way I found it or per what Instructions say. I would rather be safe than sorry and remain cautious when letting them out or coming and going. I will always triple check their leash. If it’s the first time the animals and I are meeting, I will give the animal as much time as needed to warm up and feel safe. I will not rush towards them or make sudden movements or make loud noises. I want them to feel comfortable and safe and respected.

“Mallory was prompt and communicated well. We are already scheduled to use her again.”

“Shannon has been an exceptional dog walker for me. My Italian greyhound is afraid of dogs and other people, and Shannon calmed her down and took her for a lovely walk. I would definitely hire her again!”
