“My little dog had a wonderful time with Cecelia and Richard. Their daughter took Daisy on Walks and they sent pictures of Daisy laying in the sun and in the backyard. Thank you! We will book again as needed”
“Carmen was absolutely outstanding! Her communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear that Finn was in great hands. He came back so happy, which speaks volumes about the care and attention she gave him. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Carmen to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!”
“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!!”
“Mika was one of the best sitters I have found on Rover. She was super attentive to all of Gloria’s needs and very skilled at managing her idiosyncrasies. She kept us super updated everyday with plenty of photos/videos and Gloria always looked like she was having the best time. We came into town for the Monterey Half marathon and couldn’t have been more at peace with our decision to leave our dog with Mika. She went the extra mile in our eyes in every way, even brought her down to the finish line to congratulate us after finishing our race. I wish we lived closer bc she would be our go to sitter. Thank you Mika!! You were incredible!”
“Dilan was incredibly responsive! Even with my last-minute request, he was able to take great care of my dog, Rambo. Communication was excellent throughout, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I’ll definitely book with him again the next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Samuel and Yuchen were great! They responded immediately to every check in and sent lots of photos loving on our sweet golden retriever. Will use them again if we’re ever in the area!!”
“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”
“Juan and his family were absolutely wonderful! The love and care they provided was amazing and my Pup had the best stay with them. We will definitely be using them for all our overnight stays!”
“Denise took wonderful care for our Standard Poodle with high standards! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave to ensure he ate. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“We needed a last minute place to board our pup... Our usual kennel (we had NO idea Rover existed) was full. After coming across Rover, and then seeing Darlene's page, I decided to reach out. I could not have made a better choice! Our very large, goofy, lab was so amazingly cared for his entire 5 day stay! I wasn't worried about him being gone, I was worried he wouldn't want to come home! lol. Darlene sent updates every day, along with pics of our beloved pup, which not only put us at ease, but reinforced that our pup was having a fantastic "vacation"! Darlene's place was absolutely immaculate, I wouldn't have guessed there were ANY dogs in her house, let alone multiple she was caring for. Her yard allowed for plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. It was clean and well cared for. I'll never use a different furbaby-sitter again. Darlene is our new go to! Thank you so much, Darlene! Sarge's stay was absolutely wonderful.”
“Angelina was an Angel and a life saver. I booked last minute and she responded immediately. Angelina was pleasant and very sweet. When meeting Onyx and Blue she asked all the right questions in order to provide the best care for my fur babies. Angelina sent pictures and kept me updated on all my babies activities. If you want your fur baby to be in a nurturing, safe, and fun home, Angelina is the caregiver for you.”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
“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!”
“The best sitter! Cori takes really good care of the dogs that stay with her. Our dog Nemo does great there, and comes home healthy and happy :) We appreciate the quick and professional communication with Cori, and she is flexible and accommodating with our schedules. It's a nice feeling to know our dog is safe and well cared for while we're away.”
About: I’ve taken many dog/cat sitting jobs and am passionate about animals. Happy to do walks, runs, check-in’s and cuddles. I’m active and love the outdoors, and will enjoy loving your little ones. I’m currently moving to Carmel-by-the-Sea, and looking for ways to help the community and find part-time dog/cat sitting jobs. I love going on walks so it’s the perfect combination. I will not be accepting pets in my home at this time. I am happy to visit your home and can possibly care for pets in my home in the future.
“My dog Hoku loved his stay with Haley! She made him so comfortable and sent fabulous photos. Often nervous, he did well under Haley’s care. We look forward to another stay the next time we visit Monterey!”
About: Patience is a quality of mine I have shown while caring for pets for the last 6 years. I respond very well in potentially stressful situations. I am currently working a Tuesday through Saturday full time schedule, so I can fit pet care into my weekly routine on Sundays and Mondays. My apartment is pet friendly and has an easily accessible walking trail in my backyard. I follow instructions well and can communicate with pet owners as much as they want.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Serra Village. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Serra Village 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 Serra Village home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Serra Village.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Serra Village. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Serra Village 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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
