“I’m glad that Cathy watched my pup. Cathy is definitely someone I will definitely be using again and I think it’s a plus that she has another small pup, so that Sofia can get some socialization. Thanks so much Cathy”



“Absolutely amazing, beautiful personality, dog and house. I feel completely safe leaving my dog with her. She is the best dog sitter I’ve found here in San Luis Obispo. Thank you Kate!!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my new puppy. Riley was amazing. Professional, kind and provided lots of photos and updates. I hope Mishka gets to see her again soon!”


About: Animal lover here. I’ve had pets all my life and have taken care of pets for the day, and for people on extended vacation. Animals are not left at my home alone. I can take trips to the beach or park as long as the owners are comfortable with that. Pets sleep inside the home with me. I can pick up and/or drop off for a small extra fee. I’m currently a stay at home mom with two teen boys. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need while you are away. Focus will be on keeping your pets happy. I will be playing with your pets inside and outside to keep them happy and busy while you are away. I will modify to any needs your dog may have. Again, I never leave dogs I am watching home alone.

“Matthew and his significant other were total life savers during an occasionally unpredictable week for me. They were great with Reaux & super understanding and flexible when things came up at work that required me to go in earlier or come home later. Matthew texted an update during the day with a picture of Reaux. He also was very gracious when Reaux peed on his rug. This was an amazing River experience!!!”

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 work for myself, so my schedule is very 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.

“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”


“Scout had such an awesome day with Jenny! We were in town to watch a rocket launch and booked Jenny to watch Scout while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and I felt really good about leaving Scout in Jenny's care. She took him for a walk and sent pictures of him in her lap💜. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our little guy!”


About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals all my life. Grew up Farming and Ranching. No chore is too big for Nurse Lizzy! I do work at Arroyo Grande Hospital 3 nights per week so I would coordinate your animal care with my schedule. But I am flexible. I have one wonderful chi weenie dog who loves all people and pets. He may come on walks with us. We can’t wait to meet!


“Shannon was awesome— she responded quickly (prior to booking and during stay) and provided periodic updates throughout the day. She is great with both of my maltipoos! They warmed up to her and her sweet doggies. Both of them had their tongues out when I picked them up!m. Couldn’t have asked for a better daycare for the pups!”


“Our "Multi-poo, Mattie needed a sitter for the day while we played the Avila Beach golf course, so we found Thomas, and Mattie became 'Pug for a day'. She blends well with Pugs, and she's similar in size, so that's how we chose Thomas- our sitter. She had dog park time, and was glad for the canine company for the day. We picked her up and she was happy and healthy, and in need of a nap, which was another goal we had - tire her out for the day. Thanks Thomas!”


About: I have taken care of pets for a long time. I have return clients. I am honest with my rates. When people leave I often make sure to play a bunch with the animals and make sure they even get their special medicines if any. I’m very responsible. I love making sure the animals needs are all met. I’m open to all varieties of animals as well. I am very energetic so it helps a lot. I have a lot of time to give to the animal in my own home. I take the animals places with my free time. I ENJOY GOING ON WALKS. I HAVE A FRONT AND BACK YARD. I can also use your place. I am very attentive to pets. Feeding, playing with them, walking dogs. I have my own home with a fenced yard for running around. Cleaning cages, whatever the duty, I watch animals and make sure they are ok. If something is wrong I contact a Vet if need be with owners consent. I can bring animals in at night and have my home or huge garage (: my cat is friendly and gets along with most animals and he can be moved to another area to accommodate your animals.


“Kimberly was very accommodating when we took a weekend trip to Pismo. We needed someone to look after our pup for a few hours as we went ATVing and I was able to book Kimberly on short notice. Luna was pooped after spending time with her and her two kids. Couldn't have asked for more!”
