“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“This was an excellent experience with great care for our dog. Chili has special heart problem that requires her to have medication three times a day so we rarely leave her but, Jed and Tara handled it with care and attention! Chili loved playing with their children and did not want to leave when we came to pick her up she was having so much fun. They were flexible, communicative and cared well for our dog. Thank you!”
“We will be returning, Louis was absolutely amazing with Terror. From the minute we showed up Terror was so comfortable with him, Louis sent photos of him during the stay and took him on a much needed walk. I was so nervous leaving Terror but all of that went away when I met Louis. Terror stayed for a couple of hours while we celebrated my parents anniversary. Thank you again Louis!!!!!”
“Katie was so wonderful! My dog came home relaxed and tired from all the fun. I can tell she was properly cared for and given a lot of attention and exercise. I was so grateful for Katie’s kindness and understanding of my special, quirky dog.”
“Mercedes was available to watch our Birdie girl after a last minute change in plans to our weekend long trip. From the moment we dropped Birdie off, I knew she would be cared for just like she was at home. Mercedes was great about sending daily updates. Birdie came home exhausted from having the best time playing around. We couldn’t be happier with the care Mercedes provided!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my extra large, hyper puppy for the first time. Sara was reliable, responsive, and professional. She clearly has a depth of experience with all kinds of dogs and I felt %100 confident that my pup was in great hands.”
“Indy was well cared for and got to go on lots of walks. Natalie sent us pictures multiple times a day as well. Natalie was very responsive and super easy to work with. We would definitely use her again”
“Ora took care of my baby for 4 days. She is a loving and caring host. She kept sharing updates, pictures and videos during the entire stay and I was really happy with her service. It was like a nice vacation for my baby. He was all happy when I picked him. I'll use Ora's service again.”
“Darby was fantastic! I was awaiting the birth of my first grandchild, and as you know, you can't predict these things. Darby was so kind and accommodating with my unpredictable needs. It was such a comfort to know that my little Buddy was in a safe loving place while I was away and could fully enjoy the experience of the birth of my grandson. I was blessed to have found Darby. Thank you so much!!!!”
About: I would always help my sister take care of dogs when she was animal sitting on rover. I currently am babysitting and working for Respite so I have experience in childcare. I love animals and would love to make some extra money as a college student. I am currently attending Cuesta College twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im free after 3 o’clock when my classes are over. Every other day of the week I am free all day. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and welcome in my home. Im very clean, and if sitting at your house I will be respectful of the space.
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have always had pets growing up. From puppies to guinea pigs to hermit crabs, taking care of a little animal companions has always been a joy of mine. I am well aware and capable of all the responsibilities that come along with pet care. I also know that sending updates for your peace of mind is an important part of the gig, so expect photos! I am back living in Los Osos for a bit with a very relaxed schedule. My schedule right now allows me to provide very attentive care to any animal that I might have under my watch. I love to be active and would be happy to bring a pup or two along on runs or beach visits. I know every pet requires a little different of care. I follow instructions well and keep a great line of communication with photo updates and questions to make sure we’re on the same page.
“Cara was awesome!! She helped us at the last second. Our dog Jasmine came home like she was at a spa. She was treated wonderful. Cara sent us photos to update how our dog was doing. We highly recommend .”
About: Hi there! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover who would love to give your pets all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves playtime and cuddles or prefers a little extra space and a calm environment, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! Your pets aren't just pets; they're family. I’ll treat them like my own! 🐶🐱💕 I work from 6 AM to 3 PM, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m organized and dependable, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and drop-in visits around my work hours. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality, needs, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by keeping up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I’m happy to give extra attention to shy or anxious pets and respect their boundaries as they warm up to me. I also prioritize keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their furry family members are happy and safe while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I lived with three dogs for over seven years, where I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, bath, and basic training. This experience taught me how to understand different personalities, build trust, and provide a safe, loving environment. I also lived with two cats for more than a year and helped leash-train one of them so they could safely enjoy outdoor adventures. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always adapt my care to their comfort level and routine. In addition, I cared for a family’s dog for an entire summer while they were away. We spent our days going on walks, visiting the beach, playing at the park, and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Making pets feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves long walks, active play, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. I work full-time, but my flexible schedule allows me to take breaks throughout the day, ensuring your cat receives attentive, reliable care whenever needed. My spacious home provides plenty of room to relax, and my fully fenced backyard offers safe outdoor time with constant supervision and personalized care daily.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our first experience using Rover, and it’s all thanks to our incredible sitter, Cami! As first-time users, we were a little nervous leaving our 7-month-old miniature dachshund, but from the very beginning, Cami made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent—frequent updates and adorable photos enabled us to enjoy our time away from the lil ween without worrying about him. It was obvious that Cami genuinely cared for him and understood the quirks of a young, energetic dachshund. She was patient, attentive, and provided a safe and fun environment for him to explore, play, and nap like a champ. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly exceptional with dogs—especially pups with high energy—look no further. We will book again and feel so lucky to have found Cami, whom we can trust completely with our fur baby! Highly, highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
About: I grew up with an English bulldog and cared for him his whole life. Growing up family always trusted me to take care of their pets as I had watched over a golden retriever and Rottweiler. I currently own two border Collie mixes and would love to take care of your friendly dog. I have trained my dogs and all my pets have been well mannered, well tempered, and well behaved. I don't consider myself a trainer but I was able to walk my English bulldog to walk off leash and various commands and my two pups are making quick strides to do the same and more. I would ideally take care of your pets over the weekend as I would be able to give my full undivided attention to them. I am open to taking care of pets during the week with the understanding that I work full time remotely and would not be able to focus in on them as much as I would on a weekend. I love to go on hikes, runs, and go to dog friendly social settings. I would love to bring your pet along for the fun. I frequently take my dogs outside to play fetch and go on walks in my community and would love to include yours. I live in a two story condo with access to a large unfenced lawn and neighboring parks two minutes away from home. My home has a fenced in patio where my dogs have access to through the night to use the restroom with access through a doggy door. During the day I take them out often in the large communal lawn and neighboring parks. I am off Southwood near sinsheimer Park. I have access to large spaces where fetch can be done both on or off leash. I typically play with my pets off leash and would love to incorporate your pet into our play sessions should they have good recall. I have multiple large doggy beds and your pup can be crated or fenced in the common areas depending on their comfort levels. Dogs are fed in the mornings at 8 and in the afternoons at 5. I take them out for routine walks in the morning and afternoon with outdoor time/ fetch midday around lunch. I also take them out for a quick potty break at night before we all hit the hay.
About: Ive grown up with dogs my entire life! I have spent years taking care of animals and children working in peoples homes. I have also volunteered in dog shelters helping over 25 dogs at any given time. My goals is to make you feel at ease when you are away from your furry friends. I will treat your home and animals as if they were my own. In addition, I love to send photo updates in order for you to see what your pet is up to! I can care for you pet and home in the morning and afternoons including overnights. I will walk, feed and play with your pets twice a day and spend the night with them to make sure they are not left alone for too many hours. I am friendly, patient and caring. I am happy to meet whatever specific needs you may have to ease your mind while you are away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Atascadero
Stella was wonderful with Arya! I really appreciated how smoothly everything went, and how much effort she put into making sure my girl was comfortable in her home. It gave me peace of mind knowing Arya was in good hands. I'm looking forward to working with her again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents!
Marissa and her family were great! They have a nice property for dogs and our dog was immediately comfortable there with them. It was the first time that we’ve left our puppy with strangers and we were so happy with Marissa’s services! We got good vibes from the get go and Marissa sent updates with photos and videos, so we could see that our pup was totally happy. She has som much fun playing with her little dog, Bailey, and Kahlua was a sweetie. She wasn’t as interested in playing but she’s an easy going dog. We were nervous to leave our 5 mos. old puppy but had tickets to a music festival that we purchased long before we adopted our pup and it worked out really well. We had peace of mind and Marissa was exactly as her profile described. Our dog was happy and had no issues. Thankfully, our pup fit right in and behaved well (at least she said she did) but we could tell Marissa was chill and would be able to handle our puppy regardless. Definitely highly recommend Marissa and will use her again if we go up north again.
Anne is brand new to Rover, but she performed as if she has been doing it for 10 years. I was EXTREMELY pleased with her care of our Basset Hound in her home while we were away. Her home is fully secure and provides a very safe environment for a dog out of it's normal space. She walked Chester through her neighborhood and provided him plenty of opportunity for exercise as well as sent me numerous photos throughout his stay with her. Anne is pleasant, mature, and shows great judgement. Chester came home happy and content and is looking forward to the next time I need a sitter so he can go back and visit with her! I will use Anne for all future needs we have with Chester and would highly recommend her to others.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Atascadero can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Atascadero home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Atascadero.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Atascadero. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
You and your Atascadero sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
