“Josie was great! My dog immediately felt comfortable when I dropped him off. She gave updates throughout the day and was always quick to respond. I highly recommend her and would come back again.”
About: I have a 4 year old Bernese Mountain dog that I have raised from a puppy. Ready to share my love and care with more dogs and pups when their parents need a hand! I’m working from home right now, and I am looking forward to helping your pup during the workday, or when there are trips that your pup can’t come on! I will take good care of your pup’s needs, and look out for safety in your home and out and about! Please let me know of any special needs
“Monique was awesome, super nice home in gated community, next to a park, constant communication, with pics sent. Highly recommend and would definitely take my Ben to her again! Thank you Monique :-)”
“5 star sitter. Sheridan welcomed our 2 dogs into her home with such kindness and made us and them feel right at home. I would highly recommend for your dog sitter needs. Thank you!”
About: Your dog is as much an individual as you are and we are here to help your puppies to have exactly the experience that they need. I am a life long dog lover and have had many dogs over the years (work travel prevents me from ownership right now). Over the years my household (me, adult son, grand daughter (6)) have adopted or fostered a wide variety of dogs from a puppy to be trained and moved on to forever home to senior dogs who ultimately ended up with their forever home right here. I am excellent at giving medication (was a LPN for humans), long walks that I enjoy as much as the dog, and am open to any dog related service your dog may need. I will always treat your dog like the wonderful individual they are. I am open to any size dog and ANY breed (I have great relationships with pit bulls, Chihuahua's, and other high difficulty breads) All dogs must have flee control and be up on vaccinations (and licensed). I was reading the Rover information for customers and it said you should ask about how much cuddle time, playtime, and walks cost. Your pet will get all the cuddles, walks, and playtime they can stand for free. I do this because everybody in my house loves dogs and want to make new furry friends. Feel free to contact me with any questions I am a work from home writer, artist, photographer, and journalist, so I have lots of open time. I do travel for work in the summer months which does leave some days completely unavailable, but otherwise ready to walk from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. There is no other way to say it, I love dogs and will treat your dog with more respect than most humans receive. The walks will be well planned and any care will be exactly what you requested.
“Joan is the kindest, nicest person you could hope to have watch your dog. She watched over our pandemic pup on his first time away from us while we hiked and canoed around Morro bay. She did such a great job that we even sent our dog back the next day. She was patient with him, despite the barking and who knows what else :).”
“I leave Kali with her and her beautiful family each time I need a sitter. She is very loving and caring for animals and I trust her fully. I am picky of whom I leave Kali with because she is my baby. I am grateful I found the right person now. Thank you . I will be back.”
“Thanks to Rover, I have found a fantastic sitter for my dog. Suzette has watched ‘Pepper’ for me, numerous times. I appreciate her timely responses, flexibility with scheduling and most importantly...I know that Pepper is well taken care of!”
“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”
“Cara was wonderful and a great doggie day sitter for Milo, taking him on walks with her dog and keeping him company so he didn’t get anxious. She kept us informed of how he was doing and was flexible about the pick up time. Would definitely recommend her!”
“We have fairly high need dogs and Kyle and Sara were able to meet those needs and more. The dogs had a great time with them. We received picture and text updates while they were there, which I really appreciated. I was a little nervous to leave the dogs with others, but Kyle and Sara allowed the dogs to come over for a visit before we left them. They really eased my anxiety and I will be very comfortable leaving them for longer in the future. Thank you!”
“Cary did a great job looking after Brody! We enjoyed the meet and greet and walk with Frank. Cary listened to me about Brody’s needs and his anxiety. Brody spent all day at Cary’s home and when I collected Brody he was a calm and happy dog. Thanks so much!”
“Dropped off Flower for a short visit today before I board him with Andrew. I had previously met with Andrew so that Flower could meet him and Flower was very happy to see him. When I picked up my little dog, he seemed very content and peaceful sitting in his little bed. It made me very happy to see that my dog was happy and apparently had a good visit! I feel great about leaving flower with Andrew for the upcoming weekend after this wonderful experience.”
“Matt was really nice and I felt like my dog was in good hands. He was great with communication and response times and I would definitely choose him again. My dog left happy and my family had a chance to do activities that we couldn't normally do while traveling with a dog.”
“Katie is amazing! She had a wonderful first day with our pup Jack. She is very warm and professional, and an obvious dog-lover! Jack felt right at home and he loved spending the day with her and sweet Sumi. Katie was very responsive and she sent pics and updates throughout the day. She took Jack out for walks and treated him like he was her own fur-baby. We will definitely be using Katie again for watching Jack. We all loved her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arroyo Grande
Absolutely amazing care by Miki and her husband, and kids. We have 2 pretty energetic pups and one in particular that take some time to warm up and feel comfortable. By pick up time they both seemed happy and tired from all the play with their pups. I would 100% trust them all again with our pups and I'm sure they would love staying for another visit!!
Jo is amazing!! Helped us out when our other pet care fell through for vacation. She welcomed Toby in with open arms and gave him an incredible doggy spa day with tons of walks and naps while we enjoyed our human spa day! Truly a great individual, caring, thorough, and exceptionally nice! Her rate is far too cheap, Jo, you’re amazing!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Arroyo Grande commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 204 sitters in Arroyo Grande, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
