Dog Walking Pebble Beach

About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!

“Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.”

About: Hello! I’m a pet parent to three cats and a senior Yorkie, as well as a trained Doggy Day Out volunteer at SPCA Monterey County. I love taking care of pets and giving you peace of mind. I believe in treating pets with kindness and using low-stress, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, dog walks, and house sitting. If you need extended daytime or evening care beyond a standard walk or drop-in, feel free to reach out to discuss custom pricing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to any changes in your pet, and provide clear updates. I also hold an online Pet CPR & First Aid certification through American Health Training and a certificate of completion for Fear Free Shelter Program training, which have helped me learn how to recognize common warning signs, reduce pet stress, and take appropriate next steps in a pet emergency.

About: I’ve owned a dog ever since I was 3 years old. My wife, daughter and I love dogs, and treat our dog with the utmost love and care. You have my word that I will treat your animal with the same love and care I show for my dog. I also spend a lot of time with walking dogs at the SPCA, so I have been professionally trained and therefore have a plethora of experience with all dog personalities. I work full time in the Army but I am typically free on the weekends or early in the mornings to help out with pet care. I will always follow the rules you have laid out for your pet and ensure that your pet is taken care of to the best of my ability

“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 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.

“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: My boyfriend (& roommate) and I both have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. My boyfriend Will is also obsessed with both dogs and cats and gives them even more attention when he is home before and after work. While we are in the upper unit of a duplex, we have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!

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

About: I've had dogs nearly my entire life, enjoying them from puppyhood to senior age. As my kids grew up, I have also taken care of hamsters, bunnies, lizards, turtles, and parakeets. But most of all, I love dogs. My dog Rainie is an English lab, half chocolate/half yellow who loves playing with other dogs, especially other labs. I'm very familiar with the needs and limitations of senior dogs and can adapt our routines accordingly. I only host one dog at a time to ensure everyone gets enough peace and pettings. We can host caged pets at the same time (small reptiles and parakeets). I'm retired and can host your pet anytime with advance notice. My calendar will accurately indicate my availability. My regular routine includes walking and gardening with our guest dogs. I have a large fenced yard and a single level home 8 steps above ground. Your dog will spend most of their time wherever I happen to be and will be given regular potty breaks. Your dog will enjoy romping in the yard for extended periods under supervision, but will not be left unattended in the yard. Please provide detailed feeding and medication instructions and I will follow them to the letter. Tell me about your dog's special likes, dislikes, fears, and behavioral quirks so we can make dog feel at home. Your dog must be able to manage the steps to get in and out of the house, be willing to use the doggie ramp, or be small enough for me to carry up and down. Must be housebroken. Please provide crate if crate trained and more comfortable in the crate. Or, provide favorite bed or blanket. Otherwise, we have a collection of blankets. Please bring your dog's favorite toy. Some large dogs accepted, depending on size, breed, and degree of training. A meet and greet is a must for most dogs. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans will not be accepted under any circumstances. I realize that many individual dogs are very sweet, but as a rule, these breeds unnerve me, and the dog will sense that.

“Katt has been wonderful with our dog Luna! Luna is nervous around new people at first, and Katt made her feel super comfortable. She has been such a huge help!”

“Carol agreed in Oct to have visits to meet our dog in preparation for Xmas trip. Our dog is really scared of strangers. It took 6-7 visits for our dog to get used to Carol. Carol was very patient with it. She was flexible working out times and was able to do some walking visits at Xmas. She contacted us with updates and questions and we felt like our dog was in good hands. We will continue to work with Carol now that our dog has another person she likes! ”

“Angie was wonderful! She went the extra mile for my dog. With being new to Monterey, having a 4 month old puppy, my boyfriend out of town and working one hour away from home, I didn’t worry about my dog while in Angie’s care. I really appreciated being able to be at work and know my dog was in good hands. Thank you Angie!”

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: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
