“Gabriel was incredibly accommodating and took great care of our pup. Communication was effective and gave us peace of mind that our pup was being well taken care of. We appreciate his generosity and flexibility with pick up times as well. We highly recommend!!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure both we and our fuzzball were well-prepared and happy during his stay. Zorro came home happy and tired from all the playtime and cuddles, we’re so grateful to have found this home away from home!”
“Mike and Lynn were amazing dog sitters. They were so welcoming and careful to ask questions about my dog’s needs. She was well taken care of. Mike sent me pictures everyday. And she even came home tired which is rare for my high energy pup. I absolutely recommend having them take care of your dog. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the past 7 years from puppy stage to them being almost 7 and 8. One of my dogs is adopted, so I can provide a safe haven for dogs that don’t trust easily. I can do afternoon walks, or overnight care if needed. I have a home with a yard and enough space for them to play inside or outside. I have two dogs that I’ve had for almost 3 years and I care for them like they are my kids. So of course I’m a dog lover. I’m super attentive to everything especially a change in dogs behavior and I’m really big on communication because I know how stressful it can be when you’re traveling away from your pet. There is also a vet down the street from me that I take my dogs to in case anything ever happens. My dogs are both calm (I have a mutt and a corgi) and they love meeting new dogs. However, I can only do boarding at my place because of this reason.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
“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!”
“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!”
“Citlali and her family were amazing and super accommodating. I would definitely recommend her b/c my dog is extremely apprehensive with people but warmed up to her right away. Going to be booking with her again for sure if she’s available when I leave town again😊”
“Jesse and his son took great care of Bailey. I could tell how much Bailey had gotten to walk and sniff by how well he slept after I picked him up. Bailey is used to walking 5 miles a day so it takes a lot to make him that tired.”
“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.”
“Denise clearly is passionate about caring for dogs! She was easy to communicate with and made sure our pups were well cared for with daily walks, trips to the beach, and plenty of other canine companions! We felt assured that the girls were in good hands for their extended stay.”
About: I treat your pet like my own! Conveniently located in the quaint town of San Juan Bautista, we have a sun filled back yard that is fenced and safe for your pet to run, play, and relax in. Our house is located within walking distance of multiple parks for exercising your pets. Pet care is my full time job. I modify my schedule to accommodate your pet care needs. I enjoy being outside and exercising in nature with your pet. I never leave your pet unattended, and your pet's safety is my top priority.

“Can’t express enough how WONDERFUL our experience was with Karina! She went above and beyond for our little 12 week old golden retriever. Sent us updates and pictures. Bathed her! Spoiled her with a lot of play time and her personal favorite, car rides!”
“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.”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my anxious little dog, Augie!! I had never left him overnight before and both Augie and myself were nervous, but Bridget assured me that she was kind, patient, and a true dog lover! I could tell by all of the great photos that she sent that Augie was not only fine, more than comfortable and having fun! He walked and socialized with Bridget’s dog Finley and was even calm and curious when meeting her cats! I can’t more highly recommend Bridget, and I will absolutely have Augie stay with her again!”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
About: I have had a cat in my life since I was 5 years old. Almost all of them passed away from old age. The oldest was 17 years. For dogs, I was never able to have one growing up. We didn't have the room for one. But I have family members that had dogs and was able to help take care of them. I have dog sat for many years. During that time I would either pop in for a walk or stay with them for a few days. Now that I have a family, it's difficult to house/animal sit at other people's homes, but animals are always welcome in my home. When I am with your pet I do take pictures and send them to you. It gives the owners a peace of mind. I am currently not working. My days are filled with my 3 and 1/2-year-old daughter. I am showing her how to take care of animals. I take her to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am mostly home or going to walks or going to a park. I have a fenced yard and currently do not have a dog. I do have one cat that is mostly outdoors. I do have a medium size crate if your dog requires one. Animals are allowed on any of the furniture as long as it's not a table or a kitchen counter. I do have a small animal door leading to the backyard. I can close this off if need be.

“Christie is always willing to care for your babies no matter the time or day. She treats them like they are her own, I recommend her to anyone who wants someone to care for their babies as if they were their own”
“Very attentive to my cat’s needs! Super friendly and will make sure to get the job done. Awesome communication, very observant with what my cat needed. Definitely recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Samantha is wonderful thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties 😻! We were able to have peace of mind knowing they were in great hands! We will definitely have her again! Thank you😊”
About: I have owned animals of many kinds! From as small as a guinea pig to as big as a horse. Dogs have always been a main source of love and I have almost always had one as a part of my family for as long as I remember. I am patient and kind, and would appreciate the chance to help a family when possible! Pet care will be fitting into my daily life in between family matters. My children are in school from 815AM-5PM as long as nothing comes up or appointments have been made. Caring for pets is more natural than anything.

We are hands on with the guinea pig every day to make sure she has the interaction she needs to stay as healthy as she can.
About: Experienced cat caregiver providing feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and plenty of attention. Flexible summer schedule, dependable communication, and a commitment to keeping your cat comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
“Jenna was pleasant and professional when caring for my cat Bella. She sent photos and updates, and I really appreciated that spent the whole 30 minutes trying to find Bella who wouldn't come out of hiding. Jenna made sure that Bella had water on the front porch and left her some treats, confirmed that Bella wasn't out on the street. She even walked around the neighborhood looking for Bella, and saw the cat that Bella doesn't like hanging out on my back fence. This explains why Bella wasn't interested in socializing. Thanks, Jenna, I appreciate your care.”
About: I currently have 3 dogs, Kai (Husky/Hybrid), Ramen (Australian Cattle Dog) and Zooey (Hound Mix; with what I don’t know... but she’s still pretty cute.)

I'm currently working full time and have availability on weekends and weeknights after 3pm. I am available for check-ins and walks for your furry friends. Whether it is a drop in visit or a walk for you pet they will receive the same care that I give the three of my dogs and will be treated as another member of the family.
“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!”

Thank you for checking out my profile!
About: I’ve babysat my sister’s four cats for the past 5 years every time she leaves out of town and needs a babysitter. I’ve also babysat for friends one of which has a special cat with a medical condition where I’ve had to administer medicine needed to be taken at specific times.

About: Previous Vet Tech for 4 years & dog sitter for 7 years. I now enjoy caring for pets on the side whenever available! I’ve house sat, baby sat, taken dogs to appointments, been the nurse behind the scenes at appointments, walk em & feed em! I’m currently working part time so when there is extra time in between I like to spend it caring for pets when their owners can’t. I am typically available at random convenient times. I don’t plan on caring for pets in my own home but I have previous experience caring for others in their home from pets to elders to babies.
About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, I’ve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason I’m able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. I’ve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. I’m also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs I’ve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. I’m a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.
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.
“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.”

“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!❤️”

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.

“Christie was very sweet to my babies, was prompt and communicated well. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know my pups, home and concerns. I always worry that my pups are just wild and not following our normal and ongoing training with walkers and sitters. However, during our introductions Christie seemed comfortable correcting behaviors like jumping and chewing. The pups were sad when she left which is a great sign to me!”
“Chrystina did an amazing job on her first solo walk with our dogs, especially with Lola, who can be a bit timid and nervous with new people. Her patience and dedication were truly impressive—she took the time to earn Lola’s trust and even found creative ways to get her comfortable. We really appreciate how attentive and caring she was, keeping us updated throughout and ensuring both dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you, Chrystina, for going above and beyond—we’re very grateful!”
“Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!”

I have two cats and a pup of my own named Walter; he’s a sweet and calm shar pei/black lab mix. I can’t wait to meet, play, walk, and have fun with your fur babies! Thank you for checking out my profile!
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.
About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, I’ve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason I’m able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. I’ve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. I’m also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs I’ve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. I’m a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.
About: Hi! My name is Sherlynn, and I’m a Salinas local with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all types. I’ve grown up around pets and have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even a bunny. I raised my pit bull mix from puppyhood into adulthood, and I currently care for a German Shepherd who I’ve had for over four years. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from calm companions to more active, strong breeds. I enjoy taking pets on safe, enriching walks at local parks and beaches, and I always tailor care to each pet’s needs and routine. Safety and communication are my top priorities. I’m confident handling unexpected situations calmly and responsibly, and I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. I’m open to working with all breeds and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always come first. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am Medical Student at the moment with a part time job trying to pay for school doing Rover as my side hustle! I am willing to work with you on dates & times you need. I do live in house that has a fenced yard. I live less than 1 minute away from a dog park which is so convenient. My neighborhood is calm.
“I had a great experience with Jenna! She was extremely professional and punctual. Her friendly demeanor made me very comfortable with her walking Maxwell. You can tell that she absolutely loves animals! After the walk, Maxwell was in a very good mood, extremely happy, and is now taking a power nap. I will definitely trust Jenna to take Maxwell on another walk in the very near future!”
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds and types of dogs, including catahoula leopard dogs, golden retrievers, labs, yorkies, and hounds, over the past couple of years. The dogs I’ve taken care of range from the ages of 3 months to 13 years. I have also taken care of pups after being neutered, which required extra attention to incision site as well as giving daily medications. I’m currently working full time in San Jose, but am completely available weekends. I also am available early mornings and late evenings. I have in the past worked from home to stay with pups for multiple days in a row. The dogs I have cared for have always been in the client’s home, which have been both indoor and outdoor dogs. I ensure to stay on schedule for the dogs to ensure they are comfortable while their family is away.
About: Previous Vet Tech for 4 years & dog sitter for 7 years. I now enjoy caring for pets on the side whenever available! I’ve house sat, baby sat, taken dogs to appointments, been the nurse behind the scenes at appointments, walk em & feed em! I’m currently working part time so when there is extra time in between I like to spend it caring for pets when their owners can’t. I am typically available at random convenient times. I don’t plan on caring for pets in my own home but I have previous experience caring for others in their home from pets to elders to babies.
“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: 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.

“Gabriel was incredibly accommodating and took great care of our pup. Communication was effective and gave us peace of mind that our pup was being well taken care of. We appreciate his generosity and flexibility with pick up times as well. We highly recommend!!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure both we and our fuzzball were well-prepared and happy during his stay. Zorro came home happy and tired from all the playtime and cuddles, we’re so grateful to have found this home away from home!”
“Mike and Lynn were amazing dog sitters. They were so welcoming and careful to ask questions about my dog’s needs. She was well taken care of. Mike sent me pictures everyday. And she even came home tired which is rare for my high energy pup. I absolutely recommend having them take care of your dog. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed and play with them for many years. I recently lost two of my dogs, so my house feels empty and can sure use some tail wagging energy. I’m currently going to school full time, with many of my classes being online, I have plenty of time between classes to give your fur baby love. I have a fenced yard, with plenty of room to run around and play. I love to go on walks twice daily which can last about 30-55 minutes, your fur baby will love them too!
“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!”
“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!”
“Citlali and her family were amazing and super accommodating. I would definitely recommend her b/c my dog is extremely apprehensive with people but warmed up to her right away. Going to be booking with her again for sure if she’s available when I leave town again😊”
“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.”
“Denise clearly is passionate about caring for dogs! She was easy to communicate with and made sure our pups were well cared for with daily walks, trips to the beach, and plenty of other canine companions! We felt assured that the girls were in good hands for their extended stay.”
“Can’t express enough how WONDERFUL our experience was with Karina! She went above and beyond for our little 12 week old golden retriever. Sent us updates and pictures. Bathed her! Spoiled her with a lot of play time and her personal favorite, car rides!”
“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.”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my anxious little dog, Augie!! I had never left him overnight before and both Augie and myself were nervous, but Bridget assured me that she was kind, patient, and a true dog lover! I could tell by all of the great photos that she sent that Augie was not only fine, more than comfortable and having fun! He walked and socialized with Bridget’s dog Finley and was even calm and curious when meeting her cats! I can’t more highly recommend Bridget, and I will absolutely have Augie stay with her again!”
“Second time Ty stays with Jennifer and she and her family is great! Definitely Ty is going to stay with her every time we travel and she is available. We feel very comfortable when we are traveling and Ty is under her care. Thank you so much one more time for the great help and care. Happy New Year!”
About: I have had a cat in my life since I was 5 years old. Almost all of them passed away from old age. The oldest was 17 years. For dogs, I was never able to have one growing up. We didn't have the room for one. But I have family members that had dogs and was able to help take care of them. I have dog sat for many years. During that time I would either pop in for a walk or stay with them for a few days. Now that I have a family, it's difficult to house/animal sit at other people's homes, but animals are always welcome in my home. When I am with your pet I do take pictures and send them to you. It gives the owners a peace of mind. I am currently not working. My days are filled with my 3 and 1/2-year-old daughter. I am showing her how to take care of animals. I take her to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am mostly home or going to walks or going to a park. I have a fenced yard and currently do not have a dog. I do have one cat that is mostly outdoors. I do have a medium size crate if your dog requires one. Animals are allowed on any of the furniture as long as it's not a table or a kitchen counter. I do have a small animal door leading to the backyard. I can close this off if need be.
“Carol and her sister are both so nice and did a great job taking care of my pets. My dog & cat both came home happy and obviously well cared for - no hint of anxiety, just nice & tired after a fun rover stay. And thank you for the willingness to accomodate with pickup time!”
“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.”
“Our pups loved their visit with Shannon! It was one of their first times being left in a new place and they did great! Shannon sent lots of pictures and videos and was wonderful to work with. Completely trusted our dogs with her. Thank you!”
