Dog Walking in Pacific Grove

“Kelly is awesome and takes into consideration my pooch’s mood and energy level, which changes frequently! Great communication and love the photos!”

Marsha G.

“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.”

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“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. :)”

“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!”

About: (Now offering custom pet portraits with bookings! Message for inquiries ☺️) I have grown up around animals of all sizes and ages, from dogs and cats to birds and horses so I have experience working with a variety of animals in different settings. I definitely don’t shy away from a challenge! I prioritize respect and communication for owners and their pets, which strengthens my bond to each pet and reduces the stress they face when their parent(s) are away. Animals respond very well to my calm energy and patient attitude, and I have been trusted by many clients and their pets for care because I am communicative and attentive to details. Former and current clients appreciate my thoughtfulness and thoroughness when working with their pets, and I treat each animal with the same love and respect as my own. When I was working as a dog groomer, my clientele included a full range of breeds and sizes, as well as anxious dogs, high-energy pups, and loving seniors. I have assisted in training and socializing both puppies and adults, and now have a cat of my own. I love caring for pets in all facets of their life, from a fun day playing at the park to treating them with a spa day! I love adding variety to your pets routine because a tired dog is a happy dog! I currently own an independent illustration business and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am typically available on weekends and some weeknights for house sitting. My availability is dependent on communication, so as long as we can plan ahead, I can make it work! For dog walking and house calls/ check-ins, I can generally stop by once in mid-morning, once in the early/ mid-afternoon, and again in the evenings. I’m open to shorter visits and longer hikes with high-energy dogs depending on your needs. With years of house sitting and dog-walking experience, I am very keen on following the owner’s instructions as closely as I can! I’m happy to transport animals in my car if needed, as well as taking them to the park or beach, or just to hang out on a coffee shop patio (if they are comfortable with it). I’m also happy to provide basic hygiene/ grooming services such as brush outs and ear cleaning, using whatever tools are provided by the owner. I love working on training, so will happily practice with your pets to reinforce their skills and establish new ones! It’s important to me that the work I do with your pet fits with your existing care plan as much possible.

“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’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.

“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: 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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including puppies who are still learning basic commands and routines, as well as senior dogs who require a little extra patience, medication management, and gentle care. I understand the unique needs that come with each stage of a pet’s life and adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications and monitoring pets for signs of distress or discomfort. As someone with a special needs dog at home, I know how hard it can be to leave them and feel confident they are getting their needs met. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with attention, kindness, and a focus on their well-being. I prioritize clear communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care IS my entire life. My life revolves around my dog (Steven). Thankfully, my wife works from home and can take care of him while I give your best friend the attention they deserve. I sincerely believe your pet deserves to feel loved and cared for while you’re away and that’s my goal. Pet care is how I start and end my day. I don’t just provide the bare minimum, I go above and beyond to make your dog feel at ease. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. In my home: I provide a pet-friendly, secure space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and potty breaks, and I make sure pets get plenty of love, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I always ask for detailed care instructions ahead of time so I can keep their routine as normal as possible. I also offer separate areas for pets who may need personal space or quiet time. In a client’s home: I respect and follow the pet’s usual routine closely—from feeding and walks to medications and bedtime rituals. I keep the home tidy, provide regular updates, and treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I also offer light housekeeping related to pet care, such as cleaning up pet areas and bringing in mail. No matter the setting, my goal is to make pets feel loved and secure while giving their owners peace of mind.

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 2 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. She would love to have a friend If you are new to rover, use my link to get $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/astay00975 Code: ASTAY00975

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.

“Katie is dependable and kind. I am grateful to have her care for my pup!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had both dogs and cats by my side for as long as I can remember. Currently, my wife and I share our home with Zoey, our 12-year-old Wheaten Terrier, who has been with us since she was a puppy and is truly the love of our lives. She’s my number one sidekick for all things fun and cozy—whether we’re running around at the beach or snuggling up on the couch. I pride myself on being incredibly responsible and trustworthy, so you can relax knowing that your furry friend is in caring hands. From walks and playtime to pampering and snuggles, I’m ready to provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for your pet. I know the little things count—whether it's remembering their favorite toy or ensuring they get their meals on time—because I understand that pets are family. If you’re looking for someone who is not only experienced but also dedicated and caring, I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet like they’re one of my own! As a work-from-home professional, my daily and weekly routine is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide consistent care, whether it’s multiple drop-in visits, daily walks, or regular playtime. My work-from-home setup allows me to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, ensuring that their care remains a priority. This flexibility means I can offer personalized attention, including timely feedings, medications, and any special activities to keep your pet engaged and happy. Whether it’s a quick check-in during the day or longer visits, your pet will always receive the attention and love they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my family, with the same love and attention I give my own dog, Zoey. Safety and trust are my top priorities, so I make sure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’ll stick to your routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. Your pet’s environment will always remain familiar and stress-free, as I’ll take care to provide them with the same level of care and affection they’re used to in your home. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or cuddles, I’ll ensure your pet receives all the attention and care they need in a safe, secure environment. You can trust that I’ll always be responsible, reliable, and mindful of your pet's well-being.
