“Nicole was amazing! Our dog (Loki) was happy and tail wagging when we came to pick him up. Pics and great communication throughout the visit. Loki can’t wait to hang out with his new friend again!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. I have a fenced yard and two doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Marium, while she cared for our dog Maverick for three nights. From the start, communication was great and it was clear that Maverick was in very capable and caring hands. Marium made sure he was comfortable, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled Maverick on walks. He can sometimes show aggression toward other dogs, but Marium was very patient, attentive, and confident managing those situations. It was clear she understood how to keep him calm and safe, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also loved receiving updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious that Maverick felt relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked him up, he was calm, well cared for, and clearly had a positive stay. We are very grateful for the kindness, patience, and responsibility Marium showed while watching Maverick. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Gabriel and his family are. They made Jack a part of their family. Gabriel asked me all kinds of great questions on how Jack behaves, eats and how much he was trained, etc. He also kept me up to date with Jack on a daily basis, including pictures. It made it much easier to be away from my fur baby without having to worry about how he was doing. I would highly recommend Gabriel and Delia and will be taking Jack there again when I have to go out of town. Lots of extra love is given here.”
“My dog had a GREAT time with Jocelynne! She handled my last minute boarding request really well and set up a prompt meet and greet. Jocelynne sent photos over the stay and even sent my dog home with a toy she liked to play with at their house. Highly recommend, I would definitely book again!”
“Mike is the best person in the whole world! I would trust him with my life, he was so fantastic. After having our previously booked Rover sitter cancel on us the day of, we were so lucky to have found Mike! He was amazing with communication, updates, and the care of our dogs. He took them for so many walks, they were so tired by the time we picked them up and slept the whole 3 hours drive back home. We would leave our dogs with him again in a heartbeat!”
“This was the second time my puppy Bruno stayed with Grace and Claudio! They were awesome sitters over the weekend. Plenty of updates and they stick to what Bruno likes- playing fetch and running around! I love that they give feedback about how Bruno behaves as it gives me the sense of security that he is being well watched/ taken care of.”
“Mary has been amazing with my cat Lulu. She has separate upstairs designated for cats with made me feel very comfortable with Lulu being in the house with dogs she isn’t around all the time. I have used her twice and she always give updates and the best pics.”
“Carol was fantastic!! Mocha loved her and was excited to go with Carol from day one. Carol has a sweet disposition and is serious about taking care of animals. She send photos and videos. We will use Carol next time we are back in Pebble Beach!! Thanks Carol!!”
“Ollie clearly had a wonderful time hanging out with Marion and all of the other puppies :-) she spoiled him with walks and he even ended up fancying one of the other dogs she was watching when he’s normally just interested in people. I absolutely trust leaving Ollie in Marion’s care and I don’t say that lightly. He’s my child and I’m so glad we found her. We love Monterey and will likely be coming back regularly and keeping ollie with her. Thanks Marion for the excellent care!!”
“Juan and his wife were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and took wonderful care of our girls, Marley and Nala. They were so patient with them while they adjusted and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for. They also sent us frequent updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. They also went above and beyond to help us during drop-off, and we’re so grateful for their patience and willingness to help. We would absolutely trust them with our girls again and highly recommend them!”
“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”
“Adriana was so wonderful. Sent photos and was great at communicating. Saffie had such a good time! Saffie really enjoyed her family. Will be using her services again for sure.”
“I highly recommend Johemy! 🐱 Our Katy kitty was comfortable and well cared for. We hit pictures and updates all during our trip and it was so nice to see her! We will call Johemy again for another trip!”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”

Mike and Lynne were absolutely amazing with our pup! They were on top of everything she needed, including her getting sick, provided great communication and frequent updates, and gave her all the love a dog could want. Kona found a home away from home and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she recieved. We will definitely go to them first in the future for any dog sitting needs!

100% of sitters in Salinas can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Salinas home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Salinas.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Salinas sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
