“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.

Our olive was well cared for, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Robby and family was amazing with my dog Nova. I enjoyed the attention to detail within the instructions it made it easy to smoothly drop/pick up my dog. Nova had some diarrhea issues from something that he had ingested and I really appreciated that they let me know right away and looked after my dog with so much care during his tummy upset. They also gave me a cute goodie back which was a very nice touch, Overall, I would highly recommend Robby for any pet sitting service!”

We had total peace of mind knowing Jasper was in a great home, and we will definitely book them again!”
“Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

I would absolutely recommend Jaclyn to care for your pet, and I look forward to Buddy spending time with Jaclyn again.”
“Bryan and Renee were absolutely wonderful with our 7 year old golden retriever, Leo! Our sitter fell through on NYE and they were able to watch him last minute. Our dog has a bit of anxiety around fireworks, and we really appreciated how they comforted him and made him feel safe in their home. They shared a photo and were very responsive to all messages. When we come back to San Francisco, it’s nice to know we have a trustworthy place for Leo to stay.”

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.”
“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: 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. 🤍🐾
About: Dog & cat mom, foster, rescue volunteer, and marine biologist working in animal rescue and rehabilitation—I’ve spent my life caring for animals and know how important it is to have someone you truly trust with your pets. I currently intern with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Rescue and Rehabilitation Team, so hands-on animal care is quite literally what I do every day! I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs—from kittens and puppies to seniors and hospice pets. I’m comfortable with medications, specialized care, enrichment, exercise, and pets who are shy, reactive, slow to warm up, or particular about their routines. I’m experienced in reading animal behavior, respecting boundaries, and adapting my care to each individual pet. Whether that means walks and adventures, enrichment and play, slow trust-building, or simply keeping them comfortable at home, my priority is making sure your pets feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away.
“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.”

“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.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
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.

“Alexis is amazing! We just moved to the area, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease about leaving our Luna in her care. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and communicative throughout the entire experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. We’re so happy we found Alexis and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️”
“Max had a great time at Mike’s. Mike and his wife were very communicative throughout the day. Max is a pandemic pup with some quirks but they were very patient with him and took him on a walk to ease some of his anxiety. We are very happy to have found a safe space for Max while visiting California.”
“Gabriel was great this weekend. I had a friend up from LA and we wanted to go wine tasting without the dogs. Hemi stays with Gabriel during the week but my friends goldendoodle had not stayed there before. Gabriel asked all the right questions make sure that he cared for Sunny like my friend does. Sunny is a bit older and slows quickly after playing. Gabriel had the perfect set up to have Sunny play with other dogs but then have a rest on the patio in the sun. We are so happy with Gabriel’s care and the dogs were totally happy when we picked them up. Thanks Gabriel for the overnight stay for the dogs giving us some “adult” time. Your the best!❤️”
“Molly and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my two fur babies! They were able to accommodate us last minute, and Molly even went out of her way to pick them up after their bath. She made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her home. I truly appreciated how kind, accommodating, and attentive they were. I highly recommend Molly and her husband for anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters! 🐾❤️”
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.
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.
“Carol was wonderful. She accommodated a last minute request after two other Rovers canceled on us. Oni was well taken care of care of and seemed like she’d had a great time. We will definitely turn to Carol again next time we are in town.”
“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Jill was awesome and Jack really enjoyed his day with her. He came back cleaner than when we left him and a happy pup. Would definitely use Jill again when we are in the Monterey area!”

“I felt at ease leaving both of my pets with Sarah. She is very professional and communicated clearly and timely. She greeted my pets and I outside of her home and then gave us a tour of where my pets would spend time. She spent the time to allow my dog Roble to get acquainted with the space and other pets. She was very thorough in caring for my pets (i.e. feeding schedule, rest, petting and play time). I received plenty of updates as well. I will definitely utilize her services again!”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were caring and attentive They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs Orca & Bruno were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We truly appreciate all the love, care, and accommodations they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
“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!”
About: My preferred name is Artemisia (my legal name is Paola), and I’ll be your pet’s sitter and caretaker! 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 two puppies, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, 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 and really take the time to get to know each animal and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a little training, or would rather have 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 and get outside. Whether you’re traveling, working, or simply need an extra hand, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment with someone who genuinely cares about making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. 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 dogs, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps them 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. 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. ❤️
“Darlene was wonderful to my pups. They were happy and tired when they got home. We will call on Darlene again. They seemed to get along great with her small kids. Thank you we are very pleased. Bella,Sunny and mom &dad”

“Alicia is great. My dogs can be apprehensive with strangers so I was a little nervous how it would go hiring a stranger to walk them. She was slow with them so they have learned to trust her. I'm very happy. Always on time and gives updates right away.”
“First time utilizing rover & Marissa was Friendly, reliable & great with my pup. They bonded instantly!! Was able to meet and greet prior to walking dog & recieved pictures throughout their time together letting me know they both had a great time. Will definitely be booking over & over again!”

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.

About: “With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other animals, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for all pets. Growing up in a home full of animals taught me not only the practical aspects of pet care but also the importance of patience, empathy, and building trust with every animal friend. My lifelong passion for animals sets me apart, ensuring your pet is cared for with the same attention and affection I’ve given my own. As of right now, I am currently looking for a part-time job while attending Monterey Peninsula College, but as of right now, my schedule is pretty open. “I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. My home is pet-friendly, featuring a secure fence to keep pets safe during outdoor play.

The environment that pets will be watched will vary by their owners homes and comfortably. I ask owners to please tell me their house rules for their pets safety. I do not offer boarding services but am happy to watch your furry friends in your own home.
About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“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”
“Mike & Lynne were so kind and helpful when my dogs stayed with them the past few days while I was out of town. They have a lovely home and took amazing care of my dogs. Would recommend!”
“Nicole is such a kind and caring person, she made my dog feel at home and took very good care of her. She was gentle and attentive to my senior dog. Thank you so much for creating such a welcoming environment for dogs while they’re away from home ❤️”
“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.”
“Gabriel is great! I get a regular notification from him stating how my dog is doing during the time spent away from us. He honors military and first responders which is a plus for me since I'm a disabled veteran. I would definitely be going back to him for future boarding.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”
“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!!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Robby and family was amazing with my dog Nova. I enjoyed the attention to detail within the instructions it made it easy to smoothly drop/pick up my dog. Nova had some diarrhea issues from something that he had ingested and I really appreciated that they let me know right away and looked after my dog with so much care during his tummy upset. They also gave me a cute goodie back which was a very nice touch, Overall, I would highly recommend Robby for any pet sitting service!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Maria and Gregory just took wonderful care of our dog Jasper. They were kind, attentive and made sure he got plenty of exercise together with their own dog. They sent daily photos, giving us the ability to know he was in safe hands and so we could relax and enjoy our trip. We had total peace of mind knowing Jasper was in a great home, and we will definitely book them again!”
“Marium was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Bruno! She did a great job walking him and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was also very quick at responding to messages, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated that she sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see how Bruno was doing. It was clear she cared about him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Marium to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“What a wonderful experience for Buddy and me! It was an absolute joy to have Jaclyn care for my friend Buddy; from the texts I know Buddy was very very comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jaclyn to care for your pet, and I look forward to Buddy spending time with Jaclyn again.”
“Bryan and Renee were absolutely wonderful with our 7 year old golden retriever, Leo! Our sitter fell through on NYE and they were able to watch him last minute. Our dog has a bit of anxiety around fireworks, and we really appreciated how they comforted him and made him feel safe in their home. They shared a photo and were very responsive to all messages. When we come back to San Francisco, it’s nice to know we have a trustworthy place for Leo to stay.”
“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!”
