“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“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.”
“We were very nervous leaving Afi for the first time with someone outside of family overnight because he is truly our baby, but Mahrukh & Jax made the entire experience so comfortable for us. We were updated with pictures, without asking and she was always easy to contact and responded promptly. We could tell Afi was well cared for and loved. We really appreciate her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“My dog spent one night with Nicole and her family, and she was completely happy and content I highly recommend Nicole. It’s so comforting to know that your dog is well taken care of and happy.”
“We were absolutely delighted and relieved to be able to book Robby and his wife for Indy’s first boarding through Rover. She’s a social girl and doesn’t like to be alone in a room by herself so we were hoping this would be the right fit. The fact that both Robby and his wife have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs also helped since we knew Indy has separation anxiety. However, we received many updates and were glad to hear she was doing so well. The last time we boarded Indy, she immediately went outside showing she was not happy with us but this time she’s happy as can be and just relaxed and slept the day she came home. We will definitely keep Robby and his wife in mind for future puppy boarding needs.”
“Here’s a short, positive review you can use: We booked one night of boarding with audrianna while we explored pinnacles national park where she lives near by and had a great experience with her. Our olive was well cared for, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend!”
“Robin was amazing!!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She is very accommodating, she was constantly sharing with me how Blue was doing and included pictures. Her and her whole family made Blue feel like a part of their family. Thank you so much Robin!🤍”
“Great service! Super friendly family and Gabriel is thorough and makes sure he understands our huskies, their needs, and personalities. Keeps us updated on their well being. He is also very considerate of their mannerisms and ensures their safety around other dogs and cats. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur babies. We will definitely be in touch with them again for any future reservations.”
“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.”
“Citlali is AMAZING! 💯 percent reliable and took care of Krimzen as her own 💚 she even worked with me when my flight was delayed & agreed to drop him off at the designated time we agreed on. 🌟 he had an accident on his blanket and she washed it for me, which she didn’t need to do. I appreciate her taking care of him for the second time! I will continue to go with her, as she’s considerate and adaptable!”
“Marion was wonderful with our two small dogs (Brie and Kuzco). It was our wedding weekend (annd we traveled from the East Bay) and she was flexible to coordinate the drop off with a family friend since we were busy. Our pups stayed with her two doggies and some other older dogs and they all got along splendidly, we also received daily photo updates to know how they were getting along and it was reassuring. Our pups seemed so happy when we picked them up and if we ever need a dog sitter in the Monterey/Carmel area, we would definitely rebook!!”
“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“So happy with the care that Grace and Claudio provided! I was nervous leaving my dog since she had not been boarded before, but they took such good care of her and sent photos in which she looked so happy in every one. Picked her up and she seems like shes been on vacation. I will use this family every time I need help with my pup and will recommend them to friends and family.”

About: I specialize in providing patient, fear-free in-home care for cats who need a little extra time, understanding, and specialized attention. Whether your feline companion is a shy rescue who needs their boundaries respected, a sweet senior managing a medical routine, or an independent spirit who takes a while to warm up to new humans, I am here to meet them exactly where they are at their own pace.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for cats my whole life!!! I grew up with cats and am comfortable caring for them at all ages, temperaments, and comfort levels. I have experience with cats who are shy, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines, and I know how to respectfully manage their space, body language, and environment to keep them feeling safe and stress-free. I’m currently an intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter care team, so caring for animals is quite literally what I do every day! I’ve cared for kittens through senior and hospice cats, and I’m comfortable giving medications, trimming nails, and supporting specialized care needs. Whether your cat is playful, reserved, reactive, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’m experienced in tailoring my care to match their personality and routine. I love enrichment play, slow trust-building, and making sure your cat feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.
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.
“Sophia did an excellent job replenishing the wet food in my cats' refrigerated feeders. She also topped off the water fountains. Highly recommend her to handle pet care even when you use high tech equipment like me!”
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Growing up with a stepmom who is a veterinary technician, I gained early exposure to caring for animals with a wide range of needs, from healthy pets to those requiring medications, special diets, and extra attention due to medical conditions. I was raised in a home with at least four dogs and seven cats, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when an animal may need additional care or support. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and needing a slower pace, or requires a little extra care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible and responsible schedule. I am able to prioritize morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the needs of each pet. I am consistent with feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets receive attention throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I also plan my week around any bookings I accept so that I can fully commit my time and energy to each pet in my care. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure at all times. I treat each home with respect and care, as if it were my own. With my background growing up around animals and veterinary care, I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or health concerns and responding appropriately. I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations, and I always provide attentive supervision, affection, and structure so they feel secure while their owners are away.
“Michael B. did an excellent job pet-sitting for Jewel and keeping us informed about how the visits were going. He was very conscientious and helped Jewel feel comfortable with him there. We highly recommend Michael for your pet-sitting needs!!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I currently live with four cats, including one of my own, and my sisters have cats as well, so I’m around different cat personalities every day. I’ve cared for cats of different ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to older, more independent cats. I also have experience bottle-feeding young kittens and helping stray cats in need, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and really attentive to their behavior. I know cats have their own boundaries, some want cuddles and attention right away, while others need their space and time to warm up. I’m completely comfortable letting them come to me when they’re ready. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, keeping their space tidy, and following their normal routines. I also pay attention to the little things, like changes in eating, drinking, litter box habits, or behavior, and I’ll always let you know if I notice something unusual. I know it can be hard leaving your cat while you’re away, so I’ll send photos and updates with every visit so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind. Most importantly, I’ll treat your cat with the same patience, love, and care I give my own. 🤍🐾
“Oscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.”
“This was the first time I scheduled Becky to look out after our dog and I was very pleased with how attentive she was to making sure my dog was comfortable and she kept me in the loop with how thing were going. Strongly recommend to others.”
“I cannot remember a time when I was better satisfied with an individual or company to provide services to me and/or my family. If I could, I would rate both Stephanie, and Rover.com, far more than 5 stars. From my very first request to have Stephanie take car of my 15+ year old cat “Bella”, I received enthusiasm to the max, a sincere desire to accommodate my quirkiness (it’s actually my “Bella” who is the quirky one), and a quick understanding of the needs and behaviors of animals. I received daily communication and pictures that are part of Rover’s commitment, and Stephanie didn’t hesitate to inform me if her schedule for visits changed, or if something seemed odd while she was visiting. I cannot thank Rover.com for hiring this beautiful, self-driven young pet lover, and I can’t monetarily reimburse Stephane enough for her outstanding care of my spoiled “Princess”. Take a chance on Stephanie to care for your family pets ~ you won’t be disappointed, or Stephanie will move mountains to correct any slight or issue.”
“Michael was very punctual, considerate, and great with our cat! Our cat is usually so shy. He hides from everyone and everything. But Michael was able to get him to come out of hiding and interact with him, which was just amazing.”
“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! ”

“We’re so grateful to have found such an awesome cat sitter! Ashton took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, sent us daily updates and photos, and made sure our cat felt safe, happy, and loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cats were totally relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!), and everything was clean and tidy. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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.
“Molly is an exceptional pet sitter!!! she really took the extra time to foster a relationship with my dog Annabelle. She was very good with knowing how to use my dogs high energy with lots of play and games of fetch. I absolutely will be using Molly in the future 🐶😎”
“Love love Gabe and the family. Hemmingway is so well cared for and is really part of their family. Their back yard is perfect for many dogs at one time. Separated by secure fences, an area for multiple large crates and a sprinkler and shaded patio. Easy access to the house from multiple 101 exits. Highly recommended!”
“Velsia is fabulous! So very kind, caring & very clean. It’s been years since I’ve taken my dog to a kennel or a daycare. Velsia made me instantly feel at ease. Great experience, any questions I told her to feel free to call or text. She did send a couple cute pics taking Daisy for a walk & a nap with her blanket ❤️”
About: Hello, my name is Karina. I truly adore animals and would love to care for your pets. I treat every pet the same way I would want my own pet to be treated with love, patience, and attention. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always send regular updates to keep you informed on how your pet is doing. Your pet will never feel alone. My mom and sister are also animal lovers, and together we make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Cats stay indoors in our rooms in a calm, cozy space. Dogs are kept both inside and outside during the day, and we also provide walks. At night, dogs are kept indoors so I always know they are safe. I carefully follow all feeding instructions and any specific routines you provide. I also keep a clean, safe environment, including a well-maintained yard. I currently have one cat, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. If you have any questions or would like to meet, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and your pet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks and play with. When I’m not home my family is with them and also treats them with the same love. (No children in the home) I provide safety to your pets by keeping their litter box hygienic, providing a fenced yard, and monitoring them throughout the entire day. I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.
“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!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 he was older so I had to learn to be patient with him.Now with a newer puppy I had to find ways to train and help him not be so shy around other dogs As a college student I have my weekends open and I stay at school for holidays! During the week I have a lot of time in between class in order to take care of your loving pet! I always make sure to keep an eye on the pets when outside the back yard or just in the house just to make sure they’re okay. During walks when walking pass other dogs I try to walk across the street from other dog or stray off to the side and wait for the dog to pass us.
“Wonderful!!! Jill kept me updated on how our boy was doing throughout the day with both wonderful pictures and extremely comforting messages! She expressed how happy they were to have him and that made us feel so good! 10/10!”
“I cannot begin to explain how much of a life saver Darlene was for me today!! I live in Galt and have been driving all the way to the Greenhaven/Pocket area in the mornings before work (in Elk Grove) for daycare. During our meet and greet I got to see her very well kept home and her two adorable little girls who did very well with my big excited puppy. She sent pictures of Drake romping around her yard and playing with another dog who is currently being boarded with her. She was honest with me letting me know any behaviors that she had to correct and I’m thankful that she is knowledgeable in dog behavior. I will be using her on a weekly basis... especially since my dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! He was exhausted but was giving her kisses when I tried to tell him we were going home. Drake is happy so I’m happy.”
“Grace and Claudio were so great with my pup! I asked them kind of last minute and they worked with my schedule and took great care of him. They were also super understanding that my dog needed to be separate from theirs and had no issues accommodating. Would def recommend!”
“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”
About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals since I was 15 for my neighbor and I have loved it ever since. After that I started pet sitting and walking for any of my friends when they needed! About 2 years ago I got a dog of my own as well, he’s a black lab named talford so I’m great with big hyper dogs as well as any other dog with different personality! I also work at pacific pet treats and can help with any treats or item that can help your doggy! I’m currently working part time and I have a lot of time in my day to take care of pets as well as on the weekends! Weekend’s I’m usually working 5am so I’m done for the rest of the day after that! I have a huge backyard with only my black lab who uses all the space, he is very friendly and needs another doggo friend! There is plenty of safe toys and running space for your doggo! In my clients home I will be respectful and care for the dog per instructions as every dog is cared for in a different way! I will also take care of kitties!!
“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 😊”
About: I've taken care of all different sizes of dogs since I was 14! From King Charles Cavaliers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, to chihuahuas! I am home all day and able to take them on potty breaks as needed :) I'm currently on summer break from school so I am able to give your pets all the love and attention they may need! I'm not working over the summer so pet care will be my full priority! Our apartment complex has a fenced-dog park and we have a very sweet and friendly golden retriever puppy to give your pet company! We also live in a very safe neighborhood to take your pet on walks!
About: I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and puppy, so I’m very in tune with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a bit of training, or prefers a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play. I also share my home with my loving boyfriend Ahmed, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am. Whether you’re traveling, working, or just need an extra hand, you can trust your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment the whole time. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dog, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps her burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. For cats, I create a cozy, quiet space where they can feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️

About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

“Becky took great care of our girl. She sent pictures and regular updates to let us know how she was doing which made us feel really good. Caramel seemed really happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Becky again when we need to go out out of town and can’t take our dog with us.”
About: About Me 🤍 Hi! I’m Alicia :) I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I have a Pomeranian of my own, and I’ve lived with and cared for all different kinds of dogs and cats over the years. I also have experience pet sitting, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their own little personality. I know every pet is different. Some dogs want to play and go on walks all day, while others just want to cuddle and hang out. The same goes for cats, some will be your best friend right away and others need a little time before they trust you. I’m very patient and always let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I really just want them to feel safe and happy while their family is away. 🐾 I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, not just your pet, and I take that seriously. Before getting into real estate, I worked in banking, so being responsible, trustworthy, professional, and respectful of people’s privacy has always been really important to me. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have in mine. A little about me outside of pet sitting: I’ve lived in Japan, Hawaii, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and now I’ve settled in Monterey with my family.

Your pet isn’t going to feel like another “booking” to me. I want to get to know them, learn their little quirks and routine, and make sure they’re getting lots of love and attention while you’re gone.

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been a pet sitter my whole life! I grew up with both dogs (big and small) and cats, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I have experience with dogs who aren’t always dog-friendly or kid-friendly and know how to respectfully manage their space, routines, and comfort levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I’m currently an intern with the Monterey Aquariums Sea Otter care team, so caring for animals is quite literally what I do every day! I’ve raised kittens and puppies, cared for senior and hospice cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications to both. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, reactive, senior, or still learning the basics, I’m experienced in tailoring my care to match their personality and routine. I love long walks, enrichment activities, and making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to schedule pet visits around my shifts without any issue. I’m available in the mornings or early afternoons/evenings, and I can stay for several hours if your pet needs extra company, enrichment, or supervision. I’m also available on weekends and some holidays. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I don’t bring animals to my house, so all of my services are centered around keeping your pet’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I will make sure to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s specific feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, medication routines, or favorite enrichment activities. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and whatever level of play, exercise, or quiet company they prefer. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets. I tidy up after visits, keep things organized, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away, and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“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.”
“We were very nervous leaving Afi for the first time with someone outside of family overnight because he is truly our baby, but Mahrukh & Jax made the entire experience so comfortable for us. We were updated with pictures, without asking and she was always easy to contact and responded promptly. We could tell Afi was well cared for and loved. We really appreciate her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“My dog spent one night with Nicole and her family, and she was completely happy and content I highly recommend Nicole. It’s so comforting to know that your dog is well taken care of and happy.”
“We were absolutely delighted and relieved to be able to book Robby and his wife for Indy’s first boarding through Rover. She’s a social girl and doesn’t like to be alone in a room by herself so we were hoping this would be the right fit. The fact that both Robby and his wife have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs also helped since we knew Indy has separation anxiety. However, we received many updates and were glad to hear she was doing so well. The last time we boarded Indy, she immediately went outside showing she was not happy with us but this time she’s happy as can be and just relaxed and slept the day she came home. We will definitely keep Robby and his wife in mind for future puppy boarding needs.”
“Great service! Super friendly family and Gabriel is thorough and makes sure he understands our huskies, their needs, and personalities. Keeps us updated on their well being. He is also very considerate of their mannerisms and ensures their safety around other dogs and cats. Highly recommend this family to care for your fur babies. We will definitely be in touch with them again for any future reservations.”
“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.”
“Citlali is AMAZING! 💯 percent reliable and took care of Krimzen as her own 💚 she even worked with me when my flight was delayed & agreed to drop him off at the designated time we agreed on. 🌟 he had an accident on his blanket and she washed it for me, which she didn’t need to do. I appreciate her taking care of him for the second time! I will continue to go with her, as she’s considerate and adaptable!”
“Marion was wonderful with our two small dogs (Brie and Kuzco). It was our wedding weekend (annd we traveled from the East Bay) and she was flexible to coordinate the drop off with a family friend since we were busy. Our pups stayed with her two doggies and some other older dogs and they all got along splendidly, we also received daily photo updates to know how they were getting along and it was reassuring. Our pups seemed so happy when we picked them up and if we ever need a dog sitter in the Monterey/Carmel area, we would definitely rebook!!”
“I highly recommend Mike when in search of needing someone to watch your fur baby. My wife & I knew right away that our Cody was in great hands for his stay. We will definitely request his services again when traveling back near the Monterey area.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“So happy with the care that Grace and Claudio provided! I was nervous leaving my dog since she had not been boarded before, but they took such good care of her and sent photos in which she looked so happy in every one. Picked her up and she seems like shes been on vacation. I will use this family every time I need help with my pup and will recommend them to friends and family.”
“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!”

“We are so grateful that Jaclyn was able to take care of Odie so nicely. Odie got so much love and affection and did not even miss us. haha. They sent pictures of Odie and took him for walks and gave him so much of hugs kisses and wrapped him like a baby during bedtime and made him feel so much at home. This is the best place for my pet and would greatly recommend for anyone trying to send their pet when they are out of town. Thanks so much Jacklyn. We love your support!”
“Asta was absolutely amazing with our Sadie girl. She kept me posted several times a day on how she was doing and sent many pictures which I appreciated. Asta is wonderful with communication and got back to me right away and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend Asta to watch your fur baby and will use her again for future dog sitting. Thanks Asta for giving our girl so much love!”
