About: I’ve had many pets my entire life, I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old, and currently work at a Pet Boarding/Daycare Facility. I’m a college student and working part-time at a local Pet Resort and would love to spend my free time helping and hanging out with even more animals! I will always do my best to fit as much time to care for your pets in my schedule as needed and as we’ve discussed. I think it’s important to follow your pet’s routine as to keep them as comfortable as possible, whether it be a strict schedule for me to adhere to, or a casual go-with-the-flow kind of deal, I will always do what’s best for your pets.

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.
“Hannah was such a delight to work with! She went above and beyond in caring for my pup and my home. I came home to a happy dog! Thanks so much Hannah, Betsy can’t wait to hang with you again!”
“Alanna did a great job taking care of my baby girl Bobo. Bobo was so excited to see her! She also helped me take care of my packages. Definitely will come back to her again!”
“Shelby did a wonderful job during the drop-in visit with Cooper! Every instruction was followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and care went into making sure Cooper felt comfortable and happy. Shelby was both professional and incredibly kind, creating such a positive experience from start to finish. It’s such a relief knowing Cooper is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m Miki, based in Arroyo Grande, CA. I’m back on Rover after taking a break for a while. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of pet sitting experience — both personally and on Rover. At home, we have: • Lucy, our sweet senior Shih Tzu who loves her naps and quiet time • Anko, a playful 1-year-old Lab mix who’s board-and-train certified and loves making new doggie friends 🐶✨ Whether your pup prefers cozy relaxation or a fun playmate, our home offers the perfect balance. We take long walks, visit local dog parks (like Laguna Lake), and treat every dog like a member of the family. ✅ Dog-loving household ✅ I work from home 100% ✅ Experienced with both seniors and high-energy pups ✅ Safe, warm, and communication-friendly environment Looking forward to meeting your pup and providing the “feels like home” care my returning clients know and love! 🐾✨ I stay at home pretty much all day every day as I work from home. Especially when your doggy stays with us, I don’t leave the house unless it’s really necessary or go to park with doggies. Our front yard door stays open all day so doggies can go in and out whenever they want. I have a fenced yard, so they can play outside anytime they want. I usually leave the back yard door open so dogs can go out whenever they want.
“Josie is the best with my cat! She is exceptionally kind and very caring. She was prompt with communication and attentive to the various med / food needs of my geriatric cat. So happy I found such a great cat sitter - thanks Josie!”
“Kayla was fantastic! We had a last minute need for help with our pup and she came to the rescue by coming to our house for 3 drop-in visits / walks each day. Our pup fell in love with her and we will 100% be calling her next time we need help. Thank you, Kayla!”

I adjust to each pet’s personality and always keep you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: I grew up with animals and have always had a special connection with them. I have worked with animals of all walks of life in an animal shelter & truly enjoy getting to witness their success. When working at the animal shelter I used to take dogs on walks and to the play pens where they would socialize with potential new families and other dogs. While they were in the play pens it was my job to ensure things ran smoothly and to deescalate any situations that might arise. Being able to celebrate in an animals victories and see how much they have grown & learned over time is like nothing else! I am wholly committed to anything your pet may need during our time together, no interruptions unless there is an emergency. If you have any questions about availability outside of my specified time frames please feel free to reach out and I will see what I can do! I would never do something to put your animals in harms way, I am incredibly thorough and will follow any specified instructions. If I have any questions about your pets needs I will be sure to seek clarification before taking any actions.
“Caitlin is simply phenomenal. I am very lucky to have found her through Rover. I thought long and hard about how I could write a review that really conveys how excellent she is, words are not going to cut it. She was so professional and trustworthy from the get go, I felt really comfortable and she certainly delivered. I really appreciated all the report cards, pictures, immediate responses to texts/communication, and flexibility. She was wonderful. She even without hesitation stayed the night last minute when my travel plans prevented me from coming back on time, really a lifesaver and I appreciate the flexibility. Caitlin is very smart, has integrity, can be completly trusted, and has great judgement. I can’t reccomend her enough and will be using her again. Thanks so much Caitlin, you're the best. -Wesley & Kona”
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
About: My care philosophy is simple: I treat every pet as the family member they are, providing individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my specialization in special needs pets, multi-pet care and my experience as a previous dog & cat groomer and dog trainer. This allows me to confidently handle pets with complex needs and guarantees they continue their routine without interruption. You get the highest 'Gold Standard' of care, ensuring peace of mind for you and happy paws for them. Currently, I am best available for care, walks, feeding, etc in the morning and evening hours, as well as weekends. I am also available for overnights, as long as my school-aged, pet whisperer can accompany me. My services are exclusively in the client’s home to ensure your pet remains comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I strictly adhere to your pet's established routine for feeding, medication, and walks to minimize stress and maintain consistency. During my visits, your pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention through focused play and cuddles, treating them as the beloved family member they are. You will receive detailed daily photo "pupdates" and regular wellness reports, guaranteeing you complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: I groomed dogs in 2022 & 2023 and developed genuine deep relationships that will last a lifetime. I truly appreciate each pets characteristics & personality. I’ve enjoyed thoroughly the time I’m blessed with in serving the communities furry friends! I’m available full time right now and am interested in short or extended stays I use the gym for an hour, 3 times a week but flexible there. Ready for new jobs to come my way. I’m always trying to insure pet safety 1st. I ensure they are heard and pay particular attention to changes in behaviors as these are tell tell signs of anxiety etc. Walking to bond and encouraging play is always pertinent . Talking in a loving way where they feel loved and ready to respond is vital to building trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arroyo Grande
Hannah was great! It really allowed me to relax knowing my kitty was taken care of. You can tell she loves animals and is very responsible. Her communication was great and she went out of her way to make sure my kitty got everything that he would get if I were there. ❤️
This was my first time using Rover, and my first time using Loren. I was so nervous.! but she made me feel so comfortable and took great care of my girls (I have two ginger cats). I can’t say enough good things about her and I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much, Loren! 🥰
Riley checked in on our 4 cats while we were in holiday for 1.5 weeks. She was AWESOME! So attentive to our cats and their needs/environment, very communicative (we loved and appreciated her updates and Photos) and was very kind. We felt that our kitties were in wonderful hands. Would highly recommend!
Shelby did an outstanding job and I would definitely book again. Communication was great, lots of photos with a detailed breakdown of the visit. Took lots of notes during the initial meet and greet. Punctual with all visits. I felt no stress at work with my pets care. My dog and cat both seemed to love their company! Would definitely re-book.
We found Madison to be conscientious, on time and very caring towards our kitty. Her communication was excellent and we were very happy with the service. We feel better planning future trips knowing we have someone to take care of a special member of the family!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arroyo Grande stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
