“Natalie took fantastic care of Apollo! We needed daycare for him while we had appointments in the area, and she made the entire process so seamless and stress-free. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, and he came back happy and well loved. Highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for attentive, wonderful care for their pup!”
“This was our first time using Rover and frankly, Robyn knocked it out of the park! What a true positively professional example of Rover’s service. She was all things: courteous, informative, thorough, all before we even dropped off Ruby. When we did so, she was politely enthusiastic that she would take care of Ruby and when we returned, this was exactly the case! I’d highly recommend Robyn for your pet!”
“Though we live in Southern California, we have family all around the Central Coast, and we were so happy to find Rachel to help us with our sweet Luna while we attended a family event. Rachel's property is lovely and clean, with plenty of room for Luna to cruise around. It's also very securely fenced, so we felt so comfortable that Luna was in a nice and safe place. Thank you again to Rachel for your great help- for sure we will book again if needed during a future visit to the area! :-)”
“Sara was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She had excellent communication and when dropping her off I could tell she was in good hands. Everything went well and I would definitely book Sara again.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Francoise, but everyone calls me Frenchie! 🥰💕 I absolutely LOVE animals, especially dogs! 🐶🐾 I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for them is something that brings me so much happiness. I’m currently offering dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding and doggy day care. 🐾 My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away. ❤️ I know leaving your furry family member can be stressful, so I treat every pet like they’re my own with lots of playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, attention, patience, and love. 🥰🐾 I’m happy to follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m home full-time, so your pets can get plenty of attention throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether your pup wants to play, go for a walk, or simply curl up next to me on the couch, I’m here for them! 🐶💕🐾 I’m located in Paso Robles and am happy to discuss the best option depending on the location, length of stay, and your pet’s needs. I’m especially interested in helping families in Paso Robles and surrounding areas. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love on your fur baby and treat them like family, I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🥰🐾💕 Feel free to message me anytime! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. 🐶🐾 XOXO, Frenchie 🥰💕 As a stay-at-home mom living on a small farm, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine. I love being around animals and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and companionship they need. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, exercised, and given plenty of affection while keeping their home clean and safe.
“Janice was a.pro at introducing Roo to her dogs and making sure everyone got along. She updated me throughout the day with pictures showing Roo fitting in with the little pack. Roo was in the right place for the day.”
“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 :).”
“Marla was a wonderful sitter for my doggy. She has a great home with a big yard. She was very communicative all day and sent pictures to help me see how she was doing. My dog is used to only being in her own home, so it was nice to see she could do okay in other surroundings. Marla has a kind and gentle spirit and offers a loving environment for your pet!”
“This was a last minute dog sitting job and Cara was immediate in helping me out. She got right back to me and when we met, I saw how loving she was to my dog. He was right at home. I highly recommend Cara.”
About: I've taken care of dogs in some capacity since I was young. Everything from overnight/multi-day boarding, month long, and walks for young dogs and old dogs. I grew up with a dog of mine own who was deaf so have experience with challenging dogs as well. My husband also has lived with dogs (hunting labs) his entire life. My husband and I just moved from Chicago to the Central Coast. I working full-time remote from home so am very flexible with walks and care. The most I might be out of the home during the week is 2-3 hours and on the weekend maybe 5-6 (but can be flexible in limiting that if a dog is staying with us). We have a small fenced in deck on our and then a larger outdoor space. We live in an easily walkable neighborhood and about a mile away from a dog park.
“Andrew took excellent care of my two dogs, Katie and Maddie. He is quick to respond to all messages and that gave me great peace of mind. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention. I would absolutely book with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Mili, she was super communicative throughout our pup’s stay and sent us regular updates and cute pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she really cares about pets. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing! Madelyn cared for my two pups and my friends pub while we went wine touring, the pups all had such a great time with her! They got to got on long walks on hiking trails and cozied up on the sofa for nap time. Definitely recommend booking through Madelyn. My pups and I are all very comfortable having her watch them would recommend her to anyone visiting Paso Robles and needs a Pup Sitter or trainer for the day.”

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend.

Anne is so accommodating! We booked at the last minute again, and Anne accepted. When we got there, Bonnie was wagging her tail and recognized that she was in a good place. Anne's place is very centrally located in Atascadero, so if you are visiting from out of town and need a sitter on your way to wine tasting or the beach, she is right on the way. HIghly recommend!

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 Atascadero 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
