Dog Walking in Pacific Grove

“This was our first time using dog walking services and I couldn't have been happier with Natalie! She was flexible with adjusting to Frankie's needs. We had planned to have an hour walk midday while I was at work but encounter tons of rain which Frankie hates. Natalie was able to take him out for a quick potty break and play with him inside for the remainder of the time. Tons of super cute photos at every session. Really felt like Frankie had a great time and was safe!”

“Mari is so loving and sweet with my dog. She always responds promptly to my requests and is 100% reliable. I know my boy is in good hands when she comes around. She truly cares about the well being of my pup!”

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: 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: 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.

“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.”

“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’ve had pets my entire life; from dogs (Rottweilers, chihuahuas, corgi, malamute, papillon, dachshunds) to cats, parakeets, lizards, rodents, and fish. I’ve loved and cared for all of them. My friends and family know I love animals so much I’m their go to person to ask for pet sitting. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets in the hands of someone else and hope that person will care for them the way you expect and they deserve and I’d love to be that person for you! I’m free mostly weekdays but the weekends are flexible and open to discussion. I’m a morning person so I’m typically up around 6am so I’m able to accommodate early requests. Im a firm believer in routine. I want to make your pets comfortable especially around a new person or while you’re out of town. I want to do what I can to keep their routines similar to when you’re around, if you’re training I’d love to learn what I need to do to keep it consistent for them. If they like to be let out a specific time, then I want to be able to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

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

About: I have been gaining extensive experience over the past year caring for pets of all kinds, providing reliable walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love. Your furry friend’s happiness and safety are always my priority. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a bunch of time to look after pets! In the next couple of weeks i will be less flexible but still open to work! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely with an acute attention to detail—feeding, walks, play, cuddles, and updates—ensuring comfort, safety, and plenty of love.

“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.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15! I have taken care of all kinds of animals, including both dogs and cats! I am comfortable with all levels of care and can provide anything you need. I have experience with complex diets, dog walking, and in-home care. I am a current college student, and I have a very flexible schedule! I am doing research this summer, which will only be in the early mornings. Beyond that, I am an early riser and can meet all sorts of levels of care. I am comfortable with crate training and getting cats and dogs into crates when necessary. I have lots of past experience with baths, nail trims, walks, and more! I do my best to be flexible for all pets, as I strongly believe each pet deserves its own individualized care.

“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.”
