About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.

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 provide care for your furry loves based on their needs and your expectations. I’m all about quality time, snuggles and walks. Bring them to Auntie Danae for the day. You can enjoy your free time or run errands while your furry love is in the best care. 💜🐾 I work full time, and am remote on Thursdays and Fridays. I have ample time available on the weekends to provide support for your furry friend. 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 am a responsible 23 year old currently attending MPC (Monterey Peninsula College) and majoring in Nursing. I am an intelligent young man and I promise that your pets will be cared for thoroughly. Although I have never had a pet, I have been pet sitting for friends/family for the past 10 years. I am an extremely dedicated person as well, as I door-dash for my “day-job” and am currently saving up money for college. The skills that my job requires includes patience, efficiency, carefulness, and precision. You deserve a pet sitter who cares deeply for your beloved dogs and cats. As I am currently taking online classes at MPC, I will be able to provide your furry friends with all of the love, care, and attention they need. I will provide a service covering all of your pet’s needs. There should be no need to worry during my stay with your wonderful animals.

About: I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a holiday trip, I’m super flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and exercise with regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. And, of course, I’ll send you cute photo updates so you can feel close to them even when you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands with me! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s walking or playing fetch with dogs on the beach, playing with cats, or providing companionship, I always ensure pets receive the care and attention they need. My partner’s large, lovable five-year-old black Labrador is a big part of my life too, and I treat him as my own—feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with him—fitting him into my day whenever I can. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust to each pet's specific needs, ensuring they’re comfortable and well-loved while you’re away. Pet care is a responsibility I take seriously and with joy! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed and safe, removing any potential hazards and creating a cozy, relaxing space where pets can feel at home. When it comes to walks, I keep dogs on a leash and stay alert to their surroundings, making sure they're safe and happy. I also stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding or playtime, so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I aim to make every pet feel like part of the family during their time with me.

My schedule is very flexible, so I'm able to meet most scheduling needs. I can adjust to whatever the environment may be.

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.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Pacific Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Pacific Grove on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,194 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Pacific Grove. 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 Pacific Grove. 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 Pacific Grove.

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 Pacific Grove. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
