Dog Walking in Pacific Grove

“Natalie is the best. I've tried a few other sitters when she wasn't available but it wasn't the same. Her Rover cards at the end of each really visit shows she cares. The best photos, I really feel that my boy is safe with her.”

“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: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. I have a wide range of experience across many breeds. My wife is a vetrinary technician, our family is very knowledgable and encourages all types of pets. I am currently on parental leave and my schedule is highly flexible. Willing to accomadate a wide range of schedules and requests. Mornings and afternoons work best for me! I am more than happy to help with any house sitting tasks or requests. I have 2 dogs of my own (a golden retriever and a minature dachshund)that would be more than happy to keep your dogs company on walks!

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.

“Just started with regular 30 min walks with Natalie. She has been very reliable. My boy Biggie and I are looking forward to having an ongoing relationship and continued walks in the future. :)”

“She was super sweet and really went out of her way to make my anxious and shy dog feel comfortable. Shannon is super reliable, communicative, and sends dog pics. If I could give her 6 stars I would!”

About: I care for pets individual needs like they were my own family member. I have extensive experience caring for animals of varying age, species, breed, temperament, and condition. This includes animals needing oral medication, extra walks/bathroom breaks, lots of attention, and more. I have worked in both veteirnary medicine and animal shelter work. Combined with my undergrad degree in Pre Veterinary medicine I've seen it all and am exicted to give your pet the specialized care they need! Some of my experiences include: (1) Two years in Animal Shelter work. (2) Two years working as a Veterinary Technician at a Veterinary Hospital. (3) Experience working in pet retail and knowledge about pet nutrition, food sensitivities, and supplements. (4) One summer at an aquarium working with aquatic animals. (5) Bachelors Degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine (6) Two years walking a reactive dog 5 days a week. (7) Extensive experience caring for elderly, reactive, young/energetic, medicated, and timid pets. 8) Lots of cat experience as well! I am patient when introducing myself to a new animal and look forward to providing top- quality care to your furry family members while you are away or for a daily walk. I understand the need to ensure pet needs are injected into your human routine. I evaluate the needs of each pet client and plan my work and personal obligations around their needs. Most of the time the only responsibility I have outside of your furry friend is to briefly check in on my cats. When house sitting, I will stay at the clients home with their pet. I operate on their routine based on your instructions. I always take care to straighten after myself and follow any house rules. I am also happy to check the mail and take out trash/ other household needs during longer stays.

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to a senior pup and a trained “doggy day out” volunteer at the SPCA Monterey County animal shelter. I would love to help care for your furry sweethearts! I believe in treating pets with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I primarily work from home, which gives me flexibility during the week, and I have a lot of weekend availability for your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will diligently follow your instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and do my best to help them feel comfortable and loved.

“Brooke made my first experience with Rover a positive one. She was sweet enough to pop over the night before for a meet & greet, and was warm and professional. Maple took to Brooke right away, and that put me at ease. Will be calling Brooke again!”

“My second time booking with Janelle, I know my pup is in good hands with her!!”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I treat every pet as part of my family, giving them love, attention, and proper care. I am experienced in caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. I am patient, reliable, and organized, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I also enjoy helping pets feel loved, treasured, and overall welcome in my home. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. I am flexible and can provide visits, walks, or overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I am available on weekdays and weekends, and I make sure to dedicate quality time to every pet, giving them attention, play, and care as part of my routine. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. In my home or at the client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, comfortable, and secure. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any specific instructions from pet parents. I handle pets gently and respectfully, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and stress-free at all times.

“She is excellent!!”

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: Letty is a Carmel native and proud sixth-generation Californian. She studied business at the University of San Francisco and continued her education in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Courtauld Institute of Art. After living abroad, she returned to the Monterey Peninsula, where she brings her creativity to local projects. With a lifelong love of animals, Letty is happy to care for dogs and other beloved pets - because there’s nothing quite like the bond we share with them. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, decorating, supporting local charities, and spending time with her niece. Pet care easily becomes part of my daily rhythm—I genuinely enjoy it. I build my schedule around walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, making sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and not rushed. I care for pets by sticking closely to their established routines - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest - while giving them lots of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I also make sure to respect the space, keep things clean, and follow any specific instructions exactly as provided.

“We had a great experience with Nicole. My dog warmed up to her right away, and it was clear that she understands dog behavior and knows how to build trust quickly. She was calm and gentle, and gave my dog space to settle in and feel at ease. I was visiting from out of state, and having a sitter I felt comfortable leaving my dog with allowed me to spend a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was a highlight of my trip, and I was able to enjoy it knowing my dog was in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the walk with messages and photos. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with Nicole. For a dog who usually wants to be by my side, that says a lot. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable sitter.”

“dropped Baci off and he immediately took to Kai. We went to luch for 2 hours, and picked Baci up after his walk and play time with Kai and his dogs. I would definitely use Kai again.”
