“it’s was our first time working with a pet sitter and I was really a little anxious about it, but immediately felt comfortable around Jesse and trusted that he was going to take good care of my dog. We were visiting the area for an anniversary and on the last day decided we wanted to check out the aquarium and Jesse accommodated us so we could have one last adventure in the area before picking our pet up. Thank you for taking such good care of Yuki, Jesse!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs—from younger, energetic dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a senior, so I understand how important routines, comfort, and individualized care can be. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who may move a little slower, need help getting around, take daily medication, or simply need more patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they’re safe and happy. 🐾 My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work limited hours, and on the days I do work, I’m typically home by 1 PM. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home much of the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m also available for morning and evening routines and can adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and normal routine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions before caring for them. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and household routines closely and never assume that what works for one pet will work for another. In my home, pets are closely supervised and given a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and interactions between animals. I have dogs of my own, so introductions would always be handled carefully and based on each pet’s temperament and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of both their pets and their property. I follow instructions closely, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾
“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!”
“Again, Christina and crew did a great job taking care of our dog, Bruno! Sent videos and pics daily so we could be reassured he was enjoying himself in their care. Thank you!!!🐶❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family for 25 years and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past 3 years. I provide limited, home-style boarding in a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of personal attention. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m flexible and will work with your schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s individual routine, needs, and owner instructions to ensure they feel happy and well cared for.
“Donna was absolutely wonderful with Fiona! 🐾 She gave her great care and attention the entire stay, and I could tell Fiona felt right at home. Donna kept communication clear and friendly, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Athena opened up her home to Chestnut on a short notice. Our pup had enough room to walk about and sniff. Drop off ad pick up were easy and her communication was quick. Definitely will be utilizing her services again”
“Shayne was awesome! She seemed very capable and responsible and was super easy to work with. She always quickly responded too! Overall, she was super sweet and I’d definitely use her again!!”
“Great experience with Cori! Our dog was happy and well taken care of. Cori also has been very helpful durning the fires we are experiencing. We were evacuated and Cori has been great in helping with our dog. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sam and Helen went well beyond my expectations! They were incredibly professional, prompt, kind and attentive with their care. They asked questions, followed all instructions accordingly and took time to leave me multiple, detailed updates throughout the day. I really love that they were able to meet my pup where she is at and give her the space to get comfortable at her own pace. They provided a lot of stimulation with tug, tricks and taking my sweet girl for scenic beach walks. She was well taken care of and it shows how much they prioritize making your pet feel at home. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners!”
“Nina was an excellent and communicative sitter for my dog. She has a great yard and I think my dog already misses it! Nina’s dog Ranie is a great playmate and kindly shared her toys with my dog. I just moved to this area, so I feel really lucky to have found Nina right away!”
About: I was a Kennel technician for a dog shelter In Texas. I have also raised 4+ dogs over the course of my life (two were family dogs). I am currently open to any day of the week for some services. Although for other services Monday through Friday will have to be flexible. I have a dog park in our neighborhood, lots of sidewalks that I love walking our dogs in. I have one sweet dogs that can keep your fur baby company and one cat as well. My dog is crate trained and can be kennel and separate if needed!
About: I’ve been caring for pets since college, starting with dog walking, house sitting, and providing care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and helping them establish good routines, as well as caring for senior dogs who may need extra attention or medication. I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. * I have children in the home, so I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around kids Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away. I have a small fenced in back yard and access to a larger fenced dog park, plus our neighborhood is perfect walks! If caring for your pet in their home, no need to worry about a thing! I have the ability to come over at any point during the day and am confident that they will be comfortable and happy!
“Angie and her son took excellent care of Sam while I was out of town! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Loved all the updates I received everyday :). Felt like he was in great hands the whole time I was away! Would absolutely use them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of two dogs and three cats at one time. I have house sat for two families and have no problem doing it again! I have experience working with big dogs, small dogs, disabled dogs, and have even given medication to dogs in pill form. I am not allergic to cats or dogs and I’m very stern on the animal getting comfortable with me in their own time. I am a stay-at-home wife, so I have all the time in the world. I don't have all the energy in the world though. I go for walks on nice days with my own dog often, but more than that, I can't because of health reasons. In my home, my animals don't have a set schedule or regimen. I go with their ques and roll with their punches. I can follow a schedule to the T if said baby needs one, especially for medications! I treat every animal (even strays) with love and care as if they were my own.

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 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 have a fenced patio and backyard for animals to explore. I spend most days working outside where a cat on my lap or a puppy playing would fit perfectly!
About: Happy to humor your cat with pets and scritches or just keep them company while patiently giving space. Most of my experience with cats has been in caring for friends’ pets, or through Rover.
About: As a child we weren't allowed to have cats despite wanting one. My brother and I secretly fed and cared for a stray in our garage until we were caught and had to find a proper home for her. Now my parents have a cat! I've cared for Cali a few times in recent years when they would travel. Most recently I spent three months in Italy at a villa and part of my job was to care for Tinker, a brave and friendly male cat whom I adored. My friend Beth also has cat I have grown to love and care for along with her dogs over the past two years. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats.
“Elle was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super communicative and easy to reach, and I felt really comfortable knowing my cat was in great hands. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs and would absolutely book with her again! 🤩”
About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel. I have trained and cared for dogs and horses throughout the years. I am easygoing, yet direct in my approach to care and comfort the animals I have and host. During the week, I work part-time from home, and I am active throughout the day.

My home is pet-friendly, accommodating, and safe. I also have a fully fenced yard with patio, grass areas, and gardens. I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.
“Elizabeth was fantastic and great with communication! I appreciated her approach to making new clients feel comfortable with her! She did great with my shy cat too! I would recommend her any day :)”
“Natalie provided excellent care of my cat while I was gone! Her drop in visits were always on time and she went above and beyond routine feeding and taking care of the litter box. My cat loves attention and Natalie gave it to her by brushing her, playing with her with toys she brought and cuddling with her. It is clear Natalie loves animals and her job. I highly recommend her!”

“Mary and her daughter are an amazing care team. Our Dane was happy and well exercised when we we picked him up. He gets lots of people time, and especially enjoyed Mary's cooling mat for dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Cori is the sweetest and nicest sitter I have met in Salinas. I was pretty excited to leave Moon with her because she seemed to understand huskys and their attitudes and shenanigans they tend to come with. She never made me feel bad about moons behaviors and I loved that. Moon had seemed to have a little bit of a rough time because she does not like cats and we both assumed it might be because she smelled a lot around the neighborhood cori lives in. Moon howled and barked A Lot and I appreciate cori for putting up with that. She kept me updated throughout the day while I was at work, sending pictures and Videos of Moon outside and playing with her fluffster Cress. I wish Moon was not so reactive to cats because i would love to have cori watch her more often. Cori has even let me know I can always use her as a back up sitter if need be. I appreciate the last few days you have watched moon! Thank you so much Cori! I would never hesitate to allow Cori to watch my Moon girl:)”

“First time using Rover and happy with how everything turned out. Was in town with the fam and planned on visiting the aquarium. Reached out to Jesse 2 days prior to our visit and he responded right away. He walked and fed Audie and sent pictures and texted updates. We were running late for pickup and Jesse was kind enough to give us extra time so we didn’t have to rush back. Thanks Jesse!”
About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.
“Johemy was great! My little Brigid was so well cared for. I love leaving her with someone who is loving and caring. I appreciate how nurturing she was to her. I would definitely recommend!”
“Super sweet, my dog was very comfortable, it made him feel confident, it is the first time I left my puppy in the care of someone else and there was no problem. If I had to leave my puppy once again I would trust her again.”
“Dilan was very kind and attentive to our blind rescue poodle Sugar and Melody was a perfect canine host. In turn Sugar was extremely happy and calm even though she always had severe separation anxiety due to her condition. Dilan is very communicative and understanding so you can trust your pet will be well taken care of.”
“We stopped into Monterey on a road trip and were so glad to find someone local who could give them a loving place to play and be comfy while we enjoyed the town for a few while! Thanks Christina!”
“Sam and Yuchen provided daycare for us while we did a quick half day to the aquarium. Elphie is new to rover day care and they did amazing and accommodating. They are also super quick to reply whenever I sent a message which is a whole 5 stars in its own. Will definitely contact them again for dog sitting when we are in the area”
“Julia took fantastic care of our dog, Milo, while my husband and I went hiking in Big Sur. She went above and beyond to make sure that Milo had a fun day of adventure around town. It was clear that Julia was experienced and really loved dogs!”
“While visiting Carmel, we needed someone to care for our miniature Australian Shepherd for a day. With no experience leaving Blu with anyone locally, we chose David through Rover. We met David for an introductory visit and he gave us a tour of his excellent facilities, introduced Blu to his own dog and cat, and immediately put us all at ease. When our plans changed at the last minute, he was flexible and accommodating. At drop-off, Blu quickly settled into his surroundings, and the photos David shared showed he was comfortable and had made himself right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy—and pleasantly tired. We highly recommend David.”
“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.”
“Kalikonani is a lovely young lady who kindly cares for her dog and another small, older dog. She asked several questions before accepting the booking to be sure it would be a comfortable and safe environment for those (charming) dogs and mine. She gave me a detailed account of the entire time my dog was there with several photos. I would definitely book her again if I lived in the area or if I visit again.”

“Athena watched our large breed dog for two nights in a row and we were extremely happy with how she took care of him and handled the entire process! She responds extremely quickly to all messages and was very friendly and happy to have Bruiser in her house, which was beautiful and very clean. We could tell she had prepared to watch Bruiser and listened to all of our notes and instructions for him. Bruiser can sometimes be antsy when in a new place or with strangers, but he seemed more at home with Athena than at our hotel! We are more than happy with Bruiser’s stay with Athena and will absolutely use her again next time we bring Bruiser to Carmel!”
About: Hi! My name is McKayla and I am a big animal lover!! I have two friendly kitties named Snowbell and Penny, and a Boston Terrier named Sophie. In the past, I gained experience dog/cat sitting for family friends, but I am looking forward to broadening my care to dogs/cats in the neighborhood! I love going on long walks with my dog, so I thought it would be perfect to get the opportunity to help others out by walking theirs! I also love to cuddle my animals and give them some special attention, and I hope through Rover that I can spread more love to some furry friends!

About: I have the most experience with various dog breeds young and old. More recently I have grown to also love and care for cats. Most of my full time experience has been with my personal dogs. Zoe, an Australian Shepard, was a shining light in my life for 14 years. Prior to Zoe I had Max, a sweet and gentle Rottweiler I was with for 6 years. For the past 4 years I've been spending a lot of time caring for the beloved pets and homes of my friends and family. I'm a retired teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do some regular volunteer work with cancer patients a few hours each week. I walk or hike daily and a furry companion would be welcome. It's one of the main reasons I signed up for Rover! I am also now on Trusted Housesitters and have experience caring for pets in client's homes. I could have a pet in my home for short visits. I live near a lovely wooded trail that dogs LOVE.

About: My boyfriend (& roommate) and I both have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. My boyfriend Will is also obsessed with both dogs and cats and gives them even more attention when he is home before and after work. While we are in the upper unit of a duplex, we have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!
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.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs—from younger, energetic dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a senior, so I understand how important routines, comfort, and individualized care can be. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who may move a little slower, need help getting around, take daily medication, or simply need more patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they’re safe and happy. 🐾 My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work limited hours, and on the days I do work, I’m typically home by 1 PM. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home much of the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m also available for morning and evening routines and can adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and normal routine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions before caring for them. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and household routines closely and never assume that what works for one pet will work for another. In my home, pets are closely supervised and given a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and interactions between animals. I have dogs of my own, so introductions would always be handled carefully and based on each pet’s temperament and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of both their pets and their property. I follow instructions closely, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family for 25 years and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past 3 years. I provide limited, home-style boarding in a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of personal attention. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m flexible and will work with your schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s individual routine, needs, and owner instructions to ensure they feel happy and well cared for.
“Shayne was awesome! She seemed very capable and responsible and was super easy to work with. She always quickly responded too! Overall, she was super sweet and I’d definitely use her again!!”
“Athena opened up her home to Chestnut on a short notice. Our pup had enough room to walk about and sniff. Drop off ad pick up were easy and her communication was quick. Definitely will be utilizing her services again”
“Sam and Helen went well beyond my expectations! They were incredibly professional, prompt, kind and attentive with their care. They asked questions, followed all instructions accordingly and took time to leave me multiple, detailed updates throughout the day. I really love that they were able to meet my pup where she is at and give her the space to get comfortable at her own pace. They provided a lot of stimulation with tug, tricks and taking my sweet girl for scenic beach walks. She was well taken care of and it shows how much they prioritize making your pet feel at home. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners!”
“Great experience with Cori! Our dog was happy and well taken care of. Cori also has been very helpful durning the fires we are experiencing. We were evacuated and Cori has been great in helping with our dog. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Angie and her son took excellent care of Sam while I was out of town! 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Loved all the updates I received everyday :). Felt like he was in great hands the whole time I was away! Would absolutely use them again!”
“Nina was an excellent and communicative sitter for my dog. She has a great yard and I think my dog already misses it! Nina’s dog Ranie is a great playmate and kindly shared her toys with my dog. I just moved to this area, so I feel really lucky to have found Nina right away!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since college, starting with dog walking, house sitting, and providing care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and helping them establish good routines, as well as caring for senior dogs who may need extra attention or medication. I’ve worked with dogs of different ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. * I have children in the home, so I can only accept dogs that are friendly and safe around kids Being a stay a home mom, I am able to provide continuous care for your pet! Whether it be early morning walks, middle of the day potty breaks, or late night play time; I’m ready to provide loving care to your pets while you’re away. I have a small fenced in back yard and access to a larger fenced dog park, plus our neighborhood is perfect walks! If caring for your pet in their home, no need to worry about a thing! I have the ability to come over at any point during the day and am confident that they will be comfortable and happy!
About: I’ve taken care of two dogs and three cats at one time. I have house sat for two families and have no problem doing it again! I have experience working with big dogs, small dogs, disabled dogs, and have even given medication to dogs in pill form. I am not allergic to cats or dogs and I’m very stern on the animal getting comfortable with me in their own time. I am a stay-at-home wife, so I have all the time in the world. I don't have all the energy in the world though. I go for walks on nice days with my own dog often, but more than that, I can't because of health reasons. In my home, my animals don't have a set schedule or regimen. I go with their ques and roll with their punches. I can follow a schedule to the T if said baby needs one, especially for medications! I treat every animal (even strays) with love and care as if they were my own.
“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!”
“Asja took fantastic care of my high energy puppy in her home for the past week. We will definitely be working with Asja again and felt super comfortable leaving our baby with her!”

I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms.

“Such a loving and caring family. My dogs walked in as if they walked into their home. I left them feeling confident that they were in good hands. Cecilia is great in communication and sending pitfie updates we would definitely go back.”
“My dogs are older and require special care, among that insulin injections. Nicole did a great job taking care of them and provided daily updates. I felt comfortable knowing they were under her care and would definitely go to Nicole again.”
