Dog Walking Sand City

“We love Arlene already! She came a day in advance to meet my dogs and ask about their habits. She communicates well and the dogs are already excited to see her when she arrives. I trust her to take care of my boys and would absolutely recommend her!”

“Carol was fantastic! She was responsive to my request for a dog walker and was great in communicating with me before, during and after. We were on vacation staying at a hotel with our dog. Carol’s dog walking service enabled us to have two daytime outings without worrying about him. Thanks, Carol!”

“Alexis is reliable and communicative, and I recommend her wholeheartedly! Our dog is hesitant with new people, but she warmed up to Alexis right away. I have already rebooked with Alexis and am grateful to have her nearby to help out with Peanut. 🙏💕”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve helped take care of both in my own family and other family members pets for many years. Looking to help out pet owners in need of a sitter or walker! I work on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00pm-11:00pm. All fully available days are Sunday through Tuesday though I am available to come help with pets anytime before 3:30 pm on work days! I love to keep dogs/cats active yet comfortable! I like starting things off at a slower pace so your pet can become used to me, depending on the pet I love to provide lots of playtime and attention once your pet is comfortable. Your pets comfort and needs come first!

“Andrea has been my go-to walker for nearly a year now. She is amazing and so communicative and professional. I don’t know what I’d do without her!! She tailors every walk to your dog’s needs and never disappoints.”

About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities and needs. I love spending time with cats, whether that means playing, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company :) I also have experience walking and pet-sitting dogs of different ages and personalities. I volunteer with Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, which has given me even more experience interacting with dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work from home so have a flexible schedule to check in on your cat(s) or dog(s) and take your furry friends for a walk! I am very active and love to be outside, so would love to get some fresh air with your pet. I will make sure to keep your pets safe and ensure that they’re kept on their leash for walks and in their safe space at their home.

About: I have lots of experience with pet care, including caring for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, and dogs. I understand that all animals have their own personalities and needs, so I make sure to really get to know the pet and their owner so that I am always prepared. I am well-versed in dog training. I have a dog myself, or should I say a best friend, juicy zeusy. I adopted him when he was just a baby and he is excited to meet his new friends (your fur babies)! It takes up most of my routine and I love it. Every day, I take my dog out for a morning walk, an afternoon fetch game in the back yard, an evening walk, then a supervised backyard potty break before we sleep. On our walks, he gets to socialize and play with the neighborhood dogs as well. On weekends we go to the beach or the small dog park. He always has fresh water, good food, and the best treats! After a long day, I watch cartoons and he watches with me while chewing his bully stick to self-sooth before bed. This is how I will treat your pets, with the upmost love and respect. Just let me know what their special needs are, and I am going to take care of them like my own. I offer a very safe and loving environment. Whenever I take care of a dog, they usually try to pull their owner back to my place when it’s time to say goodbye. I love all pets, especially the ones who have attitude and can be a little spicy. I love the shy ones, and love seeing them open up to me. I love the rambunctious ones who fly off the walls. I love them all! I understand it can be hard to look for a pet sitter these days, but I promise you, your pets will be in the safest of hands. I want to get to know you and your pet and all of your guys’s needs, so if I ask you a lot of questions about them, it’s because I care and want to make sure your pet is comfortable.

“Elle has been so amazing with us and our dog Stevie as we prep for our wedding weekend! Stevie can be really nervous around new people and Elle was so willing to work with us before the big weekend to get our girly ready for Elle’s stay. We’re so grateful that we can fully be present this weekend knowing our animals are well taken care of!”

About: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.

About: I am new to Rover, but dogs and cats have been central to my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was a rotating little zoo — chicks, turtles, bunnies — but the loves of my life had four legs and fur. The first was Zhuzhu/Piggie, a Samoyed boy I got in middle school. If you know Samoyeds, you know: that cloud-like floof, that signature angel smile. I watched him grow from a tiny pup into a majestic, hefty pillow, and walked him through every kind of weather without a second thought. Then there are my two cats back at my parents' place. Bread — a white cat my sister rescued on a snack run when she found her shivering and stray on the street. She went out for bread and came home with something much better. And Xiaoxiao, an orange tabby my mom adopted — named "little" because he was the runt of the litter, though I suspect he's made up for it since. By luck, my husband and I had the opportunity to home a rescue cat, a tiny apricot baby only few weeks old, in early May 2026, and I have loved Mila like I had birthed him. I made milk formula for him 6 in the morning, fussed over his digestion and stool, took him to the vet multiple times, shopped products for him with the utmost meticulous manner. I know what your pet means to you. Your dog or cat won't just be in safe hands. They'll be fussed over, admired, and genuinely cherished. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your baby pet! I'm available for boarding, dog sitting/walking, cat sitting on weekends and weekdays before 4:30 pm. Due to my current living situation, I offer care in your home rather than mine, which honestly works out better for your cat anyway. Cats are creatures of habit and comfort, and staying in their own space, with their own smells, their own window perches and hiding spots, makes for a much less stressful experience than an unfamiliar environment. When I visit, I'll follow your routines to the letter — feeding schedules, litter scooping, fresh water, any medications or special instructions. I'm a respectful, tidy guest, and I'll leave your home exactly as I found it. My job is simple: keep your cat happy, safe, and well-loved until you're back.

About: Experienced with crate-trained and potty-pad-trained pets, feeding schedules, and adaptable walking paces. Patient, reliable, and committed to treating your pets with the same structured care, safety, and affection I give my own. I am an active dog owner who walks daily and understands how important it is to keep your animals on a comfortable, familiar routine while you are away. As a Navy veteran and empty nester, I bring dependability, structure, and genuine warmth to caring for your pets. My daily rhythm naturally aligns with a pet's needs—upbeat and high-energy for morning walks and playtime, and calm and grounding as the day winds down. I'm comfortable with kennels, fenced areas, open areas, and on-leash in public. I will follow your routine and add in playtime and rubs.

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will leave it exactly as I found it. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, you can count on me to provide reliable care and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also enjoy helping with basic home-care needs while you’re away, such as bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, adjusting lights/blinds, and making sure everything looks secure and in order. Feel free to ask if you need a little extra help while you’re traveling! I have a lot of availability. Just let me know a day or two in advance and we can make it work. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I am a safe and reliable house sitter. I will leave your home exactly as you left it and take good care of it while you’re gone. I will also take good care of your fur babies!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, as well as other animals like horses, otters, and seals! I love caring for and ensuring the well-being of all animals, regardless of size or breed. I am a marine biologist currently applying for graduate programs and have lots of availability! I spend lots of time working or walking which either cats or dogs would fit perfectly. I like to take notes and ask questions to ensure all logistics are taken care of when in a clients home. I prefer meet and greets prior to booking to make sure me and your fur baby are compatible as well as become familiar with the home.

About: I’m a third-year Molecular Biology student at CSUMB and a lifelong animal lover. My family has cared for a Havanese, Maltese, German Shepherd, and English Lab, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also grew up riding horses and caring for pet fish, and I currently have a black cat named Salem. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at the Monterey sports center. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day and time needed. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home environment. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, walks, and any special instructions owners provide. Growing up around cats, dogs, horses, and other animals has made me patient and reliable when caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I also understand how important trust and communication are, and I’ll always keep owners updated while they’re away.

“I wasn't her to observe but understand that my dog loved Haley and came home tired and happy.”

“Alicia is great. My dogs can be apprehensive with strangers so I was a little nervous how it would go hiring a stranger to walk them. She was slow with them so they have learned to trust her. I'm very happy. Always on time and gives updates right away.”

Anne t.

“Nicola is wonderful! Booked her last minute for a day work trip that came up for me, and I came home to two happy pups. Definitely will use again when able”

About: I have experience potty training puppies, and administrating multiple medications for dogs if needed! I can also walk your dogs and send pictures every day while I am taking care of them. I’m a student at CSUMB, so I will be available mostly on weekends (Friday included). I don’t mind going a bit out of my way, within reason. I take care of my pets as best as I can, and will try my best to clean up after both your pet and myself if necessary! I believe in short maintenance cleaning daily as opposed to cleaning everything all at once.

“Mallory was very easy to communicate with and provided excellent updates! Highly recommend!”
