“Denise was very kind to our young puppy. It was his first time using Rover, and I think she was a great person to start with. Denise is easy to work with and very accommodating. Her place is excellent for dogs, and she is very knowledgeable about them. She sent us many pictures and kept us updated throughout the day.”
“Wanessa and her whole family are very kind and caring. Her home is a perfect dog playground. There were several other dogs on site which was great for keeping our dog occupied. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Wanessa again in the future.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She was kind, clearly took the time to get to know my little guy, and when we requested flexibility for pick up and drop off (as we were coming in from out of town and weren't sure how long we'd be in a no-dog area) she agreed that it was fine and was ready for us when we arrived. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and professionalism and will definitely book her for future trips to the area!”
“Christina was flexible and sent lots of updates. She made sure to give Seamus some space to get acquainted before meeting the other dogs. Seamus had a good time!”
“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”
“Abby was wonderful! Westley had the best time! Abby sent us great photos with updates of his playtime with Abby's other dogs. She definitely provides a very loving home, and would HIGHLY recommend Abby. We would definitely have Abby take care of Westley again!!!”
“Outstanding service. Highly recommend Robert. He was great with Rebel and his communication is top tier - quick and responsive. Definitely will reach out to Robert again when in Monterey.”
“Kelly and her boys (and her dog Charlie) were the absolute best. From the moment we arrived we knew that Shadow was going to love it and we needn’t worry. Kelly sent tons of pics and videos describing their activities. I can’t imagine a better puppy-sitter and highly recommended Kelly. She also has a very peaceful property that is perfect for a nervous pet.”
About: For over 10 years I ran a successful dog walking and pet sitting business in San Francisco. I specialize in smaller dogs (0-20lbs) and have the sweetest little girl of my own adopted from Peace of Mind Dog Rescue in Pacific Grove. My schedule is very flexible as I am home regularly during the day working my other job as a remote web developer. In other words, your pup will have around the clock supervision from very attentive playmates, including my two kids who just love animals and have their fair share of experience fostering through Peace of Mind. My home is very safe and clean with a fully enclosed backyard directly across from Paraiso Park in Monterey providing plenty of opportunities to play at the park. We look forward to spending lots of quality time with your pup!
“Kristin was a wonderful host to our precious dog. You don’t have to be nervous about leaving your dog in Kristins hands. Her home gives off a very calm vibe which I know helps my dog settle and be comfortable in new places. Belle enjoyed the sunny backyard and deck and had a great stay overall. We also appreciate the photos of our pup sent to us during Belles stay. Thanks for taking such good care of our Belle Kritstin!”
“Michael was super attentive to Mayzie - knowing her favorite thing was to sniff - he took her to the beach, the park and even goodwill! Mayzie girl was lucky to be in Michael’s capable care.”
“Yumi was amazing! Super communicative and kept my dog included in all of the walks and shenanigans despite her age. She made me feel so comfortable during my trip to big sur. My dog was in such high spirits when i picked her up, i would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Melissa was communicative and sent updates/photos/videos. She checked in to see how my dog would do with sharing toys, etc. which let me know she was cautious and thoughtful when having dogs interact!”

Dilan M.
“Dilan is a good person. They don't come too often these days. He grew up in a happy family who took him on many trips overseas, so he learned about other countries and their peoples and he has always made friends with people he has met from other places in the world. When he lived in San Francisco, he set up and owned a dog walking group that was very successful. Then he married and they eventually ended up in the beautiful area of Monterey. His sister has always been interested in dogs and horses and volunteered at the local Oakland dog adoption agency. She has always had adopted dogs and taught us all about this valuable work and Dilan has worked with her and then became a dog adopter too. Dilan will be a good and responsible dog minder and I highly recommend him! I am his mother.”

Sand City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marion was wonderful watching my little Frankie for the day while my family explored the aquarium. She has really warm welcoming energy as does her home with a nice enclosed yard for the dogs to play in the back. She was great updating me with photos and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Thank you so much, Marion! I definitely recommend her and would use her regularly if I lived in the area.
Melissa did an amazing job taking care of my two small dogs, my puppy with separation anxiety, and a very energetic older dog. She kept me updated, and clearly took amazing care since neither of the dogs wanted to leave once the day was over :) it looks like they both had an amazing time playing and relaxing with the other dogs, and luckily not sitting all day in cages like another doggy day care we saw in the area. They were pooped by the time we picked them up. Melissa was able to help us out at on very very last minute request, and I’m so glad we found her. Will definitely book her again next time we’re in the Monterey area!
Kelly and her boys (and her dog Charlie) were the absolute best. From the moment we arrived we knew that Shadow was going to love it and we needn’t worry. Kelly sent tons of pics and videos describing their activities. I can’t imagine a better puppy-sitter and highly recommended Kelly. She also has a very peaceful property that is perfect for a nervous pet.
