“Marion is a lifesaver! Kirby needed a place to stay while we were in the Monterey area, and Marion offered a spacious yard, plenty of attention and walks, and lots of fun and games with other large dogs. Also: Marion takes the best dog photos. We are so lucky to have found Marion on rover and this experience makes us want to come visit Monterey again soon!”
“This was my first time leaving my baby alone with anyone and i’m so glad and grateful that Veronica and Ryan were the ones to do take him. They were really informative and reassuring, I felt comfortable and I knew Theo was taken care of with love and patience. ❤️”
“Wesley and I love Wanessa! We are sad to be moving soon, because Wesley won't be able to see Wanessa and Sergio anymore. I highly recommend them, and feel so confident that Wesley was well loved while staying with Wanessa and Sergio!”
“Melissa took great care of our baby while we celebrated our birthdays out of town for the weekend. She sent us pictures and videos and updated us every day. He had a fun weekend playing with her kiddos and the other doggies while we enjoyed ourselves elsewhere. If we go out of town in the future, we will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Alex! He watched my dog for 3 days and kept me updated throughout the stay. He even took my pup on a hike, which I really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
“Carol was great with my dog, Henry! Even in her small space, he felt right at home. She took amazing care of him and even helped with his training. She sent photos & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one since I was six, and that bond taught me how much care and attention our furry friends really need. I also spent four months volunteering at a shelter as part of a school project, where I learned even more about caring for dogs. That experience only deepened my passion for making sure every pup gets the love and walks they deserve. I’m currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Aside from the occasional golf tournament usually twice a month that’s around 6 days total. I’ll be spending most of my time in Monterey. If you’re heading out of town for a few days, I’d love to help take care of your dog. I’m reliable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding, medications, or walking preferences. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and calm to make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure. I always check for anything that could be unsafe, like open gates or small items they could chew on. I treat every pet like they’re my own giving them lots of attention, a safe environment, and a routine they can rely on.
“Short 5 hour stay at Tamara’s house. She was very friendly and her daughter and presumed grand daughters spent the afternoon with my pup while we visited the aquarium. Very easy drop off and pick up.”
“Christina was great! Incredibly responsive, sent lots of photos and videos and updates to us which helped put us at ease. Her and her family are true dog lovers 🤍”
“Yessina and Sophie and their 3 children were the perfect introduction for my 6 month old puppy, Pixie, to experience her 1st dog sitters! They were very kind and gentle with her and her shyness didn’t faze them. Buster my 8 year old terrier who is cautious around strangers, but a real gentleman, picked his spots to lay down and wait patiently and was calm when I arrived. Even though both dogs refused to eat while they were there for the day, I was very happy with the care given by this family. They really listened to me and followed my suggestions! I’m planning on returning and rebooking with them!”
“Elena was great with my pup and very detail oriented in noting his general needs and routine. Not to mention she was flexible, which I really appreciated! Would definitely recommend to anyone else in need of a pet sitter :)”
“Kelly is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!! Our pup was so spoiled with hikes, family play time, plenty of window watching, and he was even serenaded by her sons playing violin! Her fenced in backyard was perfect for outdoor time and our active Brittany spaniel absolutely loved the daily walks. Kelly was very attentive to our conversations beforehand and even set up a little window watching area for bird watching during the day. Kelly had excellent communication while we were away. It was always a delight getting a photo update from her as a little reminder that our dog was in great care. Thank you so much Kelly for doing this job so well! We appreciate you and your family! Our dog Elvin was sad to leave your house!”

Angie was an awesome host for our chihuahua, Louie! I think he had the time of his life! Angie was super nice, flexible, reliable, and she sent updates and photos throughout his 4 day stay which was a nice touch. I'd definitely leave Louie with Angie again, and I'm sure he'd love it too!!

Melissa did a fantastic job watching my dogs! She was warm, friendly, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Communication was excellent—she responded quickly and kept me in the loop the whole time. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and relaxed at her home, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care she gave them and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsive pet sitter!
Muffy had a great stay with Michael. He was kind, attentive and caring towards Muffy and gave us regular updates. There was a last minute cancellation and Michael took her on at a very short notice for which we are grateful. If ever we are back in Monterey we would look for him to take care of Muffy! Thanks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Glennis took such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Fiona, over the holiday weekend! From the start, her communication was thoughtful and thorough—she asked all the right questions and kept us updated with adorable photos and messages throughout Fiona’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Fiona was in a cozy, safe, and loving environment. Glennis made sure she was comfortable, even checking in about her food, treats, and habits. Fiona clearly enjoyed hanging out with Glennis and her dogs, and it meant a lot to see her so relaxed and happy. Pick-up and drop-off went smoothly, and Glennis was kind and accommodating even when we arrived a little early. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend Glennis if you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family! — George B.
In short: the perfect Rover for boarding, especially first timers!! I’d give 10 or 100 stars if I could!! Sara was an incredible Rover and I will be using her again (and again)! It was my first time boarding my rescue Golden Retriever and I was nervous, as Meadow has slight quirks as most rescues do. Sara calmed all my nerves as she actively sent me photos showing Meadow was eating, hiking, playing in the Carmel river, and sleeping soundly!! Meadow’s boarding at Sara’s was basically a doggy summer camp dream in Carmel Valley! Sara loved my dog as if it were her own, and that’s a testament to how incredible of a boarder she is - she’s attentive to the dogs needs and will go above and beyond to make sure your dog feels right at home. Plus the activities, I mean Meadow had the time of her life and definitely got a ton of exercise while I was gone. Even further, Meadow was tuckered out when I picked her up which was very helpful after I had full day of traveling back from the East Coast. I will be recommending Sara to anyone that asks for a rec for a boarder in Monterey, especially dogs that need activity or exercise, but even those that just want to hangout in the sun and chill with good humans. Also, Sara was extremely flexible with pick up and drop off, as I had flight changes and couldn’t abide by my initially requested time frames. I cannot thank her enough for taking the best care of my dog!
I had a great experience with Alex! He watched my dog for 3 days and kept me updated throughout the stay. He even took my pup on a hike, which I really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!
We recently visited Monterey and needed someone to watch Millie for the day. She is an anxious little dog and this is the first time we left her in anyone’s care. Luckily we found Mie who’s sweet and calm. To our surprise, Millie warms up to Mie and followed her around. Mie took great care of her going on walks and updating us with pictures. Mie is such a gem, and I highly recommend her service!
