“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!!”
“Jesse has taken good care of my pup and reassures me of how things went. Very easy to get a hold of, located in great area for walks, and my dog is always in the company of someone at home which is always nice. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“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 🤍”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Donna was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of FiFi and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me real peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. FiFi came home happy, calm, and well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter — highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and caring!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Danae was a great sitter! I reached out to her last minute to take care of Wally and she responded quickly and positively. She spoiled Wally for the night she had him and Wally enjoyed his time with her and her dogs. Danae also sent lots of photos which I love. So happy I was able to find her. :)”
“Kelly is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!! Our pup was so spoiled with hikes, family play time, plenty of window watching, and he was even serenaded by her sons playing violin! Her fenced in backyard was perfect for outdoor time and our active Brittany spaniel absolutely loved the daily walks. Kelly was very attentive to our conversations beforehand and even set up a little window watching area for bird watching during the day. Kelly had excellent communication while we were away. It was always a delight getting a photo update from her as a little reminder that our dog was in great care. Thank you so much Kelly for doing this job so well! We appreciate you and your family! Our dog Elvin was sad to leave your house!”

“Andrea was amazing with my two cats and made sure they were well loved for the two weeks I was gone! I loved getting updates with pictures and truly felt they were in great hands. She left my home even more clean and tidy than how I left it. Definitely recommend!”
“I couldn't be happier with my senior kitty’s new sitter! My sweet Macy has reached the point of needing two visits a day when I am out of town. Denise’s care is extraordinary and worth every penny for both the well-being of my kitty girl, as well as for my peace of mind. Denise’s care and her attention to detail are exceptional! She is not only reliable, responsible, and trustworthy but she is equally warm, friendly, and gentle. Denise goes the extra mile - both my kitty and home were in excellent condition upon my return home - will be rebooking!”
“Valeriya is amazing. She is careful and cares. I have two cats that she watched for two weeks over the holidays; she provided daily updates and pics/videos. She communicates clearly and asks/notifies when something is amiss. She was also flexible to changes in care during the period - adding two extra morning visits to keep my kitties happy. Valeriya provided me peace of mind while I was away and I really appreciate that. You will know your furballs are being fully cared for - Highly recommend!!”
About: I have three cats of my own - one senior cat and two adults I raised as kittens. I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience giving medications. I believe in treating cats with kindness and using fear-free, cooperative-care approaches whenever possible so they can feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia (she/her)! I am a responsible, loving, and trustworthy caregiver who will meet your kitty’s needs and beyond! My love for cat care began with my volunteer work with the SPCA. Since then, I’ve taken care of my roommates’ two cats, as well as cared for the numerous cats that roam my neighborhood. What can you expect from me? -Feeding -Playing -Litterbox cleaning -Outdoor time / walks -Some grooming -Lots of pictures! *the one thing I can not do is medication via injection* Thank you!
“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 :)”
“I adore Elissa. I felt nervous at first having a new person watch my boys, but after a meet and greet (that ended up with us just talking, laughing and sharing stories for 2+ hours) I knew we made the right choice. She was fun, kind and professional. She has a lot of knowledge on cats and cat/pet care and went above and beyond to care for my cats. She extended her drop ins to ensure everyone (including my difficult to feed guy) was happy and had a full tummy. She spoiled my sons with lots of tasty treats and provided many updates and pictures. I can't say enough positive things about her and highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babes.”
“Shannon was great. She met before the visit to understand the routine. She communicated very well sending multiple pictures of my 3 cats every day. The kitties were very happy with the play time. The litterbox was well maintained and she even brought in a package that was delivered while she was watching the fur babies. I felt very much at ease knowing that they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Megan was such a good pet sitter. She played with our cat, took great care of the place and sent cute pictures everyday of our cat having fun. Would highly recommend and will book her again!”
“Natalie was incredible with our boys! So attentive and kind, and she provided some great feedback and photos every visit! I highly recommend her to take care of your kitties.”
About: I’m the mom to a cat named Zeppelin, a dog named Stevie and a horse named Cece. I successfully trained both Stevie and Zeppelin (yes you can train a cat!) myself and have dabbled in equine training as well. Being the guardian of a nervous, reactive pup, I pride myself on understanding animal behavior and dog body language. After bringing Stevie home, I was quickly thrown into the world of dog training and behavior modification out of necessity and I have a special place in my heart for nervous pups. I've even started training other people's dogs on the side! After training my own dog, I fell in love with the process and couldn't put it down! I’ve also worked in a veterinary office and feel confident in my abilities to keep your animals safe and know how to handle emergencies. I’m a lab assistant for an environmental toxicology lab and train dogs on the side. I am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon and evening most days as well as any time on Sunday’s. At this time I am not available for boarding or overnight stays. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own, all of mine are rescues that took time, patience and trust to get to where we are now. I understand that having a new person around might be scary for your pet at first but I look forward to building a relationship with them so we all feel safe and comfortable. Having a nervous, reactive dog and a nervous cat has taught me how to better understand dog and cat body language and to go at their own pace.
“Kirby took care of my two kitties while I was away, and she did a wonderful job! She was great with communication, punctual, and she provided pictures/updates with every visit. I would definitely trust her to look after them again!”
About: I have dog sat for many friends over the years back home. I am new to Monterey so what better way to learn my way around than by walking with a friendly pup companion? I have summer time free from my usual work so I have time during the week to drop by and play with and/or walk your dogs. My goal with any animal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and taken care of. If there are any specific rules a pet owner has (staying off furniture, eating at specific times, etc.) I will uphold them to the best of my ability while simultaneously nurturing a dogs’ natural senses of play and curiosity. Along with walking I am happy to refill food and water bowls if needed.
About: My first pet was a kitty named Sasha whom I adored for 16 years until she passed. My first love are kitties, and now I love all pets. However, all kitties have a special place in my heart. I love playing with them, petting them and even walking them if you would like. (On a leash of course)!
About: Hi! I'm a Marine Corps Officer currently attending the Naval Postgraduate School and living in Pacific Grove. As a previous cat owner myself for 2½ years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your cat while you're away. Cats thrive on consistency, patience, and attention to their individual personalities. Whether your cat is social and playful, independent and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I'm experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic care, and giving cats the space they need to feel secure. Beyond my experience as a cat owner, I've spent the last five years serving as a Marine Corps Officer, where integrity, responsibility, and attention to detail are non-negotiable. When caring for your cat, you can expect dependable service, clear communication, punctuality, and regular updates so you always know how they're doing. I know that trusting someone with your pet requires confidence in both their character and their ability to care for animals. My goal is to provide complete peace of mind while you're away and to care for your cat as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

“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!”
“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.”
“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 .”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was great! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience! She provided updates and was gracious with our two girls! Definitely would recommend if you are in Monterey with your pups and want to visit the aquarium!”
About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable.
“Outstanding service. Highly recommend Robert. He was great with Rebel and his communication is top tier - quick and responsive. Definitely will reach out to Robert again when in Monterey.”
“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.”
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.
“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: I grew up around animals, working on my grandparents’ ranch and helping to care for horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve always found working with animals to come quite naturally for me. I first began pet sitting during high school, and in recent years I’ve fostered for local rescue organizations, taking care of and helping to socialize dogs who are up for adoption. My husband and I adopted our own rescue, Leroy, in February 2020 and are so grateful we did! I work from home during the week, and enjoy breaking up my workday with nature walks. Leroy and I love spending time with other dogs, and especially enjoy taking them with us to explore our beautiful neighborhood! I tend to talk often to Leroy and the dogs I’m caring for, and treat them more like little humans. The dogs I grew up with were treated like members of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and respect. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible and adaptable depending on the needs of the dogs I’m caring for. As an example of my routine for my own dog, I usually take Leroy for a morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and another longer hike or beach walk in the afternoon/early evening, plus a short potty walk after dinner. Depending on whether your dog is dog-friendly or not, I can care for them together or separately. I prefer to visit for a meet-and-greet before scheduling any bookings, so that I can get to know you and your pet in your environment. I like to have an in-depth understanding of their typical daily and nightly routine, so that I can stick to it closely during my stay. My goal is for our time together to be as comfortable for your pet as possible, which I think means disrupting their comfort zone as little as possible. I will follow your directions to a tee, and be in contact with updates regularly to keep you informed.
“We needed a last minute sitter and Morgan was super responsive and was able to help us out! Daphne got a hike in and came back worn out in a good way! We definitely recommend her and will book again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth — a lifelong animal lover offering dog walking and active, attentive daycare in the Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel area. I provide more than just supervision — I offer an *adventure-based* experience for your dog. I spend most of my days outdoors with my very active toddler, exploring local trails, beaches, and neighborhoods, and I love bringing dogs along for the experience. This works great for both daily walks and doggy daycare. Whether it’s a long walk, a nature-filled outing, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, your dog will get real engagement and exercise — not just time in a yard. For doggy daycare, your pup will be out and about with us, enjoying fresh air, movement, and stimulation throughout the day. Because my child is always with me it’s important that dogs are **friendly, gentle, and comfortable around young children** for everyone’s safety. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals — often with 8–10 dogs on the property at a time — so I’m very comfortable reading behavior, managing different temperaments, and keeping things calm and positive. You can expect thoughtful care, regular updates, and a genuine love for getting dogs out into the world. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog to a safe, active, and enriching day, I’d love to connect! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to consistently walk and care for animals throughout the week. I maintain a trusted routine with several pets and would love to welcome yours into the mix. When caring for pets in a client’s home I ensure each pet receives personalized attention based on their unique needs. I adhere to the routines and instructions provided by the pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care requirements.
“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!”
“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. ♥️”
“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.”

About: I’ve cared for friends and neighbors’ pets throughout the years. I also have experience working with the SPCA as a volunteer. I am a responsible sitter who can walk, bathe, feed, play with, and tend to your pet! *the one thing I can not do is administer medication via injection!* Please reach out to me and we can find a schedule that works! Please refer to my posting for a general idea- walks and drop in visits are best for me because I am a college student :)) I am respectful of your space and attentive to your pets’ needs. Depending on your pet’s personality, I can adapt to their behavior and needs to give them the best experience possible!
“This was our first time using dog walking services and I couldn't have been happier with Natalie! She was flexible with adjusting to Frankie's needs. We had planned to have an hour walk midday while I was at work but encounter tons of rain which Frankie hates. Natalie was able to take him out for a quick potty break and play with him inside for the remainder of the time. Tons of super cute photos at every session. Really felt like Frankie had a great time and was safe!”
About: I have been helping friends and family take care of their pets for years and have two cats of my own. I would love to help take care of your fur babies! I have a work from home job, so my schedule is very flexible and I can work with you for what works best for you and your pet. I am experienced in keeping both my cats very well taken care of and often help my mom take care of her little dog. I am happy to accommodate any requests that you may have for your pets.
“Claudia is our first experience with Rover and because of her, we will definitely be using again! I received many updates and photos of our pup while in her care. She took Sabine our twice a day for 30 min walks and I feel like she was in excellent hands! Everyone who met Claudia had wonderful things to say about her. Would HIGHLY recommend!”
About: I focus on calm, loving, and dependable care, whether that means helping a puppy with training basics or giving senior dogs the slower pace and comfort they need. Each dog gets my full attention and care, one-on-one. I plan my days around the dogs in my care, keeping a steady routine for feeding, walks, and check-ins. I make sure each visit or stay feels calm, consistent, and personalized to what each pet needs most. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is the same, to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I keep routines consistent, give plenty of walks, play, and quiet time, and always make sure they get their needs met!
About: We always had pets growing up, when I moved out I missed having those loving beings around me, so I started petsitting. My clients and friends know me as a reliable, loving and caring person and trust me with their loved ones. I am self employed so I can create my own schedule. I am flexible and cater to the needs of my customer. I am sure we can work someting out. I will strictly obey the wishes of my client to make sure their pets are safe and well taken care of. However the clients handle the safety of their pets.
“We loved having Mari watch our pup. Her calm, peaceful nature was exactly what I look for when leaving my doggo with someone new. If I lived here, I would not hesitate to have her come on a regular basis. Perfect! Thanks Mari 🐶”
About: Hello my name is Rubi! I am the owner of two beautiful cats. I have own cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. For all of my life. Giving me the experience of older and younger cats and dogs.

“Katt is an incredible dog walker! From the moment she arrived, my dogs were instantly comfortable with her. She was warm, attentive, smart, and asked all the right questions. She came prepared with a fantastic treat bag and a solid understanding and positive reinforcement. She handled my two energetic dogs with ease and confidence, and I immediately felt at ease knowing they were great hands. I couldn’t have been happier to find her - highly recommend just after one walk!”
“Stephanie is fantastic! She's incredibly friendly, communicative, flexible, and did a wonderful job with our extra-large breed. I'll definitely rely on her services again!”
About: I have dog sat for many friends over the years back home. I am new to Monterey so what better way to learn my way around than by walking with a friendly pup companion? I have summer time free from my usual work so I have time during the week to drop by and play with and/or walk your dogs.

“Kristin is great! I would recommend her 100% for dog walking and doggy daycare. Piper loves her mid day walks when I am at work. I come home to a smiling, calm, and tired dog. ?”
“Just started with regular 30 min walks with Natalie. She has been very reliable. My boy Biggie and I are looking forward to having an ongoing relationship and continued walks in the future. :)”
About: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.
About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!
About: Let me tell you why I would be the perfect fit to take care of your beloved pets. First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals. From a young age, I've had a deep connection with them and understand their needs and emotions. Whether it's playing fetch with energetic dogs or snuggling up with a shy cat, I am adept at handling all kinds of pets. Furthermore, I have years of experience as a pet sitter, ensuring that your pets will be in safe hands while you're away. I am responsible, reliable, and committed to providing top-notch care for your animals. Additionally, my flexible schedule allows me to devote ample time to giving each pet individual attention and affection. With me as your pet sitter, you can enjoy your time away knowing that your furry family members are receiving the love and care they deserve! I am a freelance artist, writer and mama of 2 cats. I am always making sure my cats are well taken care of, and so loved. I am very flexible in my schedule, I have full availability after 11am everyday. I treat my cats like they are my children, which means that they are a high priority in me and my fiance's life. Every petsitting job I have, I treat my client's pets just the same.
“Taryn was able to take on a last minute request to walk our pup for a couple hours while we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant. Our pup, Stella, was super comfortable with her. If we are in Carmel again, we would definitely book with her again!”
About: Always had a love of animals cats and dogs. Pets are all lovable in their own fun and unique ways.

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Madison was really wonderful! We loved that Luna had a playmate and plenty of space to play. Madison was very kind. She picked up Luna and when we came to pick her up, she seemed very happy.”
“Riley was amazing and very flexible. It was a last minute booking and I had to extend Beemer’s stay to which he was very accommodating. Beemer was walked several times a day which he loved! We would definitely use Riley again!”
“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!”
“Our hound Fanta has found a cozy home away from home now that we have met Cara and Marvin!! Cara took such good care of our high maintenance doggie. Cara and her playful Whippet Marvin helped our anxious girl settle in quickly and enjoy being part of their pack for the time she stayed with them - walks, lots of outside play time, and room on the couch are Fanta's favorite things. And we loved seeing photos of Fanta's adventures as well as reading detailed updates. We are looking forward to traveling more knowing that our girl is comfortable, safe, and happy with Cara.”
“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! 💛🐾”
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: Hello everyone! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly couldn’t imagine a life without them. My experience includes a lab/pitbull mix, shepard mix, chihuahua and terrier mix, along with caring for many other dogs of friends and family. After leaving home and moving into an apartment that didn’t allow pets I missed mine like crazy and needed to get some puppy love so I decided this would be the perfect place for a cure. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and would love nothing more than to help you walk and take care of your dogs when you are unable to. I have flexible availability and a passion for giving animals the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!
