About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! I only work a few hours in the morning (9-12), so my schedule is pretty flexible — I can often accommodate daytime, evening, or even last-minute pet care needs. I’m currently available for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I’m happy to care for your dog or cat in their familiar space while you’re away. That said, if you'd prefer your pet stays with me, I do have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of every kind since I was a little girl. Pets have always been a staple in my family I until recently had pets in every place I’ve lived. Unfortunately where I currently live I’m not able to have a furry friend like before. I love the joy cats and dogs bring from unique personalities to goofiness and everything in between. I love on my friends and family pets whenever I get the chance. I miss being able to have one of my own but nevertheless I have so much love to show your furry family I have a flexible schedule, have a big heart and love animals. I’m here to treat you family like family with care love and walks Follow their instructions to a tea. Whatever feeding schedule, cleaning schedule, grooming, walks etc. I’m ready and capable to uphold those tasks at hand. Along with lots of tummy rubs

I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like rabbits and hamsters.

“Travis is the best! Sends so many photos and keeps us updated on how Zoey’s walks are going. Even went above and beyond and brought some heavy packages inside for us. Very flexible with our erratic work schedule. Very lucky to have him and highly recommend without reservation.”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter based in Atascadero. For the past three years, I have cared for a household with five small dogs and two cats, providing them with feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of love. I am confident in handling multiple pets and adapting to their different routines and temperaments. During the day, I work in behavioral therapy, which helps me develop a calm, patient, and detail-oriented approach—skills that are essential for giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I am available most evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to travel between Paso Robles and Nipomo. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or daily walks, I’m here to help. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I would love to meet your furry family members and become your go-to pet sitter! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I communicate clearly with pet parents throughout the stay. I’m also mindful of safety during walks and visits—no off-leash time unless requested, and I double-check doors, gates, and feeding routines to keep everyone secure.

About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.

“Sarah did a great job and really came through for me when I was in a crunch. She responds very quickly and follow all care instructions to the tee. Thank you!”

“Marcus has been awesome - super reliable, great at communication, and sends the cutest photos from his walks with our dog. We will definitely use him again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have always loved them very deeply. I've also tended to small and medium sized dogs, but cats are my favorite :) mine's name is Honey and she's almost two years old! I have experience with intricate feeding regimes, deep cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and keeping their areas clean and tidy. I'm knowledgeable when it comes to their body language and moods and just want them to have the best time while you're away. I'm a freelance graphic designer currently taking a gap year before pursing an MFA! Meaning my schedule is fully open on weekdays and weekends, featuring plenty of time to care for cats of all kind. I make sure to update my clients routinely or as much as they personally request. Additionally, I greatly respect my client's home and pet areas, doing my role in keeping things neat and orderly.

About: I have worked in pet boarding and daycare facilities handling dogs for about 5 years. I have experience as well as an understanding for animal care and behavior. I have eight certificates showing my knowledge and skills working with dogs and cats. Times may vary weekly. I have an open schedule between bookings appointments. There is always time throughout the week. I'm a housewife and want to a little earn extra money. I live a few blocks away from a dog park and I also know of a lovely dog park in SLO. If your dog enjoys bike riding I can make it happen. If your dog enjoys a day at the beach I can take them to the dog beach in Avila. If your dog enjoys a good hike I know some pretty good trails. Also if your dog just needs some cuddles I can provide that with a happy smile.

About: I've had multiple dogs throughout my life, most starting from puppies. My wife and I are dog lovers and we have 3 pugs of our own. We have had multiple big dogs at once but when they passed on, we decided to go the smaller route. We have housed multiple dogs at once for the weekend, done dog walking for friends and family and now wish to help out our community. If you need anything, please reach out to see if I can be of assistance. I'm used to walking large breed dogs and can even take them out to the dog beach if wanted. I can walk your dogs, bathe, feed, play, take to the beach, or just lay around with them. I do have 3 pugs that live with us so if you do need us to board, please let me know if they are not friendly and I can keep them away from each other. I have a fenced backyard, but all dogs are welcomed inside our home and allowed on furniture. Our fur babies are family and are treated like royalty and all pups inside our home get the same treatment. I can abide by any special diet restrictions or time for feedings. Our dogs eat twice a day with an occasional treat. Please let me know if treats are not allowed

Having worked with aging and young dogs, and am able to administer medication and make sure they are nourished and able to exercise. I have also had the pleasure to care for chickens and cats. Additionally, I spent a year developing technician skills in professional pet grooming services in a veterinary setting. My passion for animal care began when I started volunteering with training and socializing cats and dogs at my local animal shelter. Last summer, I worked with baby birds at a wildlife clinic. After finishing school at UC Davis, I am still looking for part time or full time work. I am generally not busy outside the home for necessarily more than 5 hours at a time. I am available all week currently! I would be happy to care for your pet at your home, but am open to the discussion of any alternative arrangements. I am practiced at being a housesitter or dog walker.

About: Pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. We were taught as children to respect animals and that they are part of the family. I have experience with young pets as well as geriatric pet, experiencing the changes pets go through in their lifetimes. I work as a freelancer so I am able to fit other activities into my flexible lifestyle. Dog walking is perfect for getting me and your pooch out for some fresh air! Pets should be as comfortable staying outside of their homes and they would be in their own homes, with everything that they need, fresh water, food and a comfy bed. Some comforting cuddles and reassurance will help your pet too!
