“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!”

“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!!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Citladi took exceptional care of Claire, making her right at home! She touched base and sent me a few photos but did not feel the need to be in constant contact with me which I appreciated. I felt great that Claire was having a fun, safe and comfortable stay!”
“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 🤍”
“Nicole is Amazing and our boys felt right at home with her! She was prompt in her communication with us and tended to our boys needs. We will Absolutely come back to her because our boys were in the best of hands and so loved!!!”
“Samantha was very active with Zoe and kept me informed throughout her entire stay. Her flexibility made my trip stress free and it was nice knowing Zoe was doing good the whole time. I am so grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future.”
“10000/10!!! Asta is heaven sent! She took care of my baby like she was her own. She is extremely communicative and I got so many cute pictures of the pups! My dog is high energy and Asta and Chris knew exactly how to care for her. There's a great park for the pups to get exercise too! It's so nice having someone you trust with your fur baby!”
“Sarah was attentive and sweet. I happen to have a pup who does really well off leash and loves running; they catered to that aspect allowing my dog to run often as well as explore to different locations they went to throughout the stay. I received pictures and videos and, to be completely honest, am trying to plan another vacation soon because pup enjoyed their time so much with Sarah. Thank you. I'm grateful to know there is now a person who I will be a 'regular' with.”

“Molly has been very responsive and easy to communicate with. And of course most importantly, my cats have gotten comfortable with her quickly. And she could even tell them apart quickly (two all-black cats), which is a rare achievement! She's been great with sending pictures, asking questions, and feeding my cats, both following instructions and noting additional things that were needed. It's a relief to find someone I feel comfortable trusting with my cats.”
“Carol is an outstanding sitter! Carol has been sitting for me for several years. She clearly understands my elderly cat and gives her exactly the attention and care she needs. Leaving my cat is stress free when I know Carol is watching her. Thank you!”

I HAVE SAT FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO WHOLE HEARTEDLY TRUSTED ME WITH THEIR BELOVED FAMILY MEMBERS! I ENJOY BEING ACTIVE AND GOING FOR WALKS AND DOGS ALWAYS WANT TO GO WITH ME! I WOULD LOVE TO MEET AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG FOR YOU WHILE YOU ENJOY SOME TIME AWAY! :) I work full time but love the chance to meet a new fur baby.

“Marianne kept my judgmental and grumpy kitties very happy! I’m not even sure they noticed I was gone. She made sure food and water and the litter box was clean. And, she even gave my plants some TLC.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 17. Family and friends have trusted me on walking and feeding their pets when they have vacations or are simply just busy:) I’m available all weekends and weekdays to play, feed, bathe, walk, give attention, and babysit if you have any upcoming vacations or urgent emergencies you may have! While you're out of town, I'll make sure your dog feels right at home! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love will keep them happy and well-cared for. 🐾🏠💕
About: Hello. I’m kidding by the way about Nyan Cat. My actual favorite is my boy Dennis back home. He’s an old cat that lives with his servants (my friends). When we first met, he avoided me and I also avoided him because I wasn’t a cat person. But then after showing up multiple times, he sat with me while I was on toilet and guarded the door. What a bro 😎 Anyway I used to be a caregiver for the elderly and disabled. That was for 3 years.
About: Active, responsible caregiver providing loving attention and daily exercise. Experience with senior dog care, my focus is safety, comfort and fun! Also love cats very much. I have a flexible schedule and can pop in to care for your pets at different times during the day. Happy to do extended 60 minute visits as needed. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention during every visit. Please always feel free to leave special instructions- medications etc. Have cared for Diabetic dogs as well.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, I even had a gecko when I was younger. I have lived with and cared for pets my whole life. I grew up with a orange tabby cat, and recently lived with a Bombay and an American shorthair. I have also cat sat an Egyptian Mau and a Nebelung. My friends call me the cat whisperer because even when they say "he/she isn't keen to newcomers, the cat tends to feel comfortable with me right from the start". This is something I love seeing since cats are known to be more picky about who they chose to rub against or get close to. I have also grown up around and cared for a variety of dogs. To list a few dog breeds I have cared for: American Eskimo, Labrador, Golden Retrieves, Huskie, Malamute, German Shepard, Cavapoo, Belgian Malinois, Golden Doodle, Beagle, Wiener dog, Katahula, Mountain Cur, Boxer. My first dog was an American Eskimo , and then my family also had a couple Labs and currently have a Katahula/Mountain Cur mix. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with the care of their pets. I have experience working with working dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepard) and caring for them on strict schedules as my best friend has 2 working dogs that have alternating schedules and crate times. My last roommate has a Cavapoo and since I work fully remote I spent the days caring for him, taking him on walks, feeding him dinner, I even gave him bathes though he didn't particularly enjoy them. I love to go for runs/walks and love to cuddle. I promise that if you chose me to care for your pet they will receive all the love I have to offer. I currently work from home full-time with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, so I am able to take the pets out for walks multiple times a day if needed, and it opens me up to be more available to watch your pets. I am a highly active person so having a furry companion to play with always makes my days better. I currently share an apartment with a roommate who does not do well with Pet Dander so it is best if I care for your furry friends at your home. I will respect your wishes whether you allow pets on furniture or not. I do not mind if they are on the furniture but that is a personal preference and understand the need for consistency with animals. When caring for your pet I just ask that you provide a note of preferred do's or dont's in your home.
“Absolute angel. Took care of my two goblin cats for two weeks, and was extremely flexible, supportive, and caring with the fur babies. She sent regular updates and pictures, and treated the goblins wonderfully. 10/10 care and support.”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog and cat for 10 days during Christmas break. She was professional and went above and beyond our expectations. She was attentive to their needs and allowed both of them to be relaxed and happy while we were gone. Carol sent me daily updates and photos of how they are doing. I would highly recommend her services to everyone and for sure will book with her again! ”
“I will definitely book again! My shy cats were both happy when I got home, she was very communicative and easy to work with, and the apartment was as I left it! I appreciate you checking on them!”
“It was my first time using rover and Sonia made it so easy. She was very sweet and very kind to my kitty. I always get so nervous leaving my fur baby and she made it very relaxing. Great service.”
About: I have 10+ years of extensive experience caring for cats, of my own personally, and of friends and family. Ranging from ages of kittens, to senior.

About: I specialize in providing patient, fear-free in-home care for cats who need a little extra time, understanding, and specialized attention.

“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.”
“Jesse is very friendly. He guided us into his home with clear instructions. He took Sunny for a long walk with beautiful scenery along the road to release his energy. He took care of him very well by giving treats, cleaning him up after walk and settling him down in a very nice area of the home. Thank you for taking good care of my dog and I was able to enjoy visiting some places that are not dog friendly.”
“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”

“Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my dog Clyde. She was super responsive, friendly, and kind. She sent me several pictures of Clyde throughout the day and that made me very happy. I could tell she took great care of him. Anytime I’m in the Carmel/Monterey Bay area with Clyde I will look to book with Kelly again.”
“Kristin and her husband were wonderful. We left our Labrador Finn with them while we played golf. They were very friendly and took him in a long walk. We would highly recommend them .”
“Denise was great with our puppy Bruce. She checked in several times to give updates and send pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our new puppy in her care. Thank you so much, Denise. We really appreciate your quick response to our last minute request to care for our pup!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve been a dog owner since I was 15, and I currently have two French Bulldogs, which has given me a deep understanding of breed-specific needs, puppy energy, and senior pet care. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dogs’ body language, understand their moods, and respond calmly and effectively to keep them safe and happy. Professionally, I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a doggy daycare, where I gained experience with feeding routines, administering basic care, monitoring health and behavior, and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also skilled in creating structured routines, providing gentle exercise, and giving extra love and attention to pets who need it, like seniors or shy dogs. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For me, every pet deserves individualized care, respect, and affection, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My combination of personal experience, professional training, and genuine love for animals ensures that every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I make sure they get fed, exercised, and plenty of love every day, and I stay on top of any special needs or routines. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their routines, supervise playtime and walks, provide lots of love and attention, and make sure the environment is clean and secure. I also watch for any signs of stress or health issues so pets always feel well cared for.
“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
“Dilan was very kind and attentive to our blind rescue poodle Sugar and Melody was a perfect canine host.

Dilan is very communicative and understanding so you can trust your pet will be well taken care of.”

“Yessica was absolutely amazing, Theo was literally wagging his tail going back the next day. She gave me consistent updates and clearly loved having him there, he was so tired coming home because he was being played with so much! Thank you for the time and care you dedicated to my baby, definitely will be rebooking the next time I need dog daycare. ♥️”
“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!”

“Citlali was super responsive, flexible, and just great. Super appreciate her dealing with my last minute and changing needs! My dog is usually very hesitant going to new people/places but she was surprisingly comfortable with her, her husband, and cat 😊”
“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.”

“Carol agreed in Oct to have visits to meet our dog in preparation for Xmas trip. Our dog is really scared of strangers. It took 6-7 visits for our dog to get used to Carol. Carol was very patient with it. She was flexible working out times and was able to do some walking visits at Xmas. She contacted us with updates and questions and we felt like our dog was in good hands. We will continue to work with Carol now that our dog has another person she likes! ”

Outside of those hours, I have flexible availability, including Tuesdays, Thursdays, weekends, and most afternoons and evenings. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine, so I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. It gives us a chance to make sure everyone feels comfortable and helps me provide the best care possible for your furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have 9 years of previous experience with boarding animals and work well with sticking to the specifics of every pet's needs. I have experience with all different breeds, including those requiring extra medical attention. I am trained in administering injections as well. I can also care for reptiles, birds, and any other pet in the household.

“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!”
“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!!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“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!”
“Citladi took exceptional care of Claire, making her right at home! She touched base and sent me a few photos but did not feel the need to be in constant contact with me which I appreciated. I felt great that Claire was having a fun, safe and comfortable stay!”
“Nicole is Amazing and our boys felt right at home with her! She was prompt in her communication with us and tended to our boys needs. We will Absolutely come back to her because our boys were in the best of hands and so loved!!!”
“Samantha was very active with Zoe and kept me informed throughout her entire stay. Her flexibility made my trip stress free and it was nice knowing Zoe was doing good the whole time. I am so grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future.”
“10000/10!!! Asta is heaven sent! She took care of my baby like she was her own. She is extremely communicative and I got so many cute pictures of the pups! My dog is high energy and Asta and Chris knew exactly how to care for her. There's a great park for the pups to get exercise too! It's so nice having someone you trust with your fur baby!”
“Sarah was attentive and sweet. I happen to have a pup who does really well off leash and loves running; they catered to that aspect allowing my dog to run often as well as explore to different locations they went to throughout the stay. I received pictures and videos and, to be completely honest, am trying to plan another vacation soon because pup enjoyed their time so much with Sarah. Thank you. I'm grateful to know there is now a person who I will be a 'regular' with.”
“Athena was great with my dog, Donner! She was able to watch him with only a few days notice. Took him on walks and updated us with pictures. It was so nice for Donner to get all the attention being the only dog there. I will definitely be booking Donner for another stay in the future. Thank you so much Athena and Will for giving Donner the best care while we were on vacation!”
“Kristin was very easy to deal with very accommodating opening her home to our two pups. She and family took them for walks and made sure they were comfortable over night. We appreciated her caring.”
“Helen was a great caretaker for my dog! She was quick to communicate, shared pictures of her playing with my dog multiple times over the 2 day watch, and I could just tell me dog was happy and well exercised upon pickup. Would definitely book again! Thanks Helen!”
“Bridget took amazing care of Beau! She kept us updated every day, gave her lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and made her feel completely at home. Beau had such a fun and happy stay — we’d definitely book with Bridget again and recommend her to anyone on Rover! 💛🐾”
“Mike and Lynn were amazing dog sitters. They were so welcoming and careful to ask questions about my dog’s needs. She was well taken care of. Mike sent me pictures everyday. And she even came home tired which is rare for my high energy pup. I absolutely recommend having them take care of your dog. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Gabriel is definitely a five star dog sitter! He’s very communicative and very conscientious. Gabriel watched our dog for three weeks and not a day went by that he didn’t give us feedback pictures and comments about her time with him. He has a gift with animals. He is a not only a dog sitter, but a dog trainer who cares and will take excellent care of your dog.”
