“Paul was fantastic - our pup had a great time and was clearly in very good hands”




2. Shannon M.

“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!”


3. Matthew T.


“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!!!”


4. Kimberley H.
“Kimberley is incredibly trustworthy and caring. She always goes the extra mile to ensure my dog’s safety and happiness. I trust her completely with my dog and appreciate her regular updates. If you need a reliable, energetic and kind dog walker in San Luis Obispo I highly recommend her.”


5. Kelly C.
About: Hi guys! My name is Kelly Clarke, and I am excited to offer reliable, loving care for your furry family members. I am based in San Luis Obispo and have a flexible schedule as I just graduated from CalPoly last quarter, making it easy for me to drop by for walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddle sessions. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk or just someone to hang out with, I am happy to help. I have owned all sorts of pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, hermit crabs, lizards, fish, etc. so I am comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have also pet sit for my neighbors since I was in middle school so I have plenty of experience with pets that are not mine. I have been missing my animals since I have been away at college so I look forward to the opportunity to care for other peoples pets while they are away. When I am not spending time with animals, I enjoy going on hikes around SLO, spending time at the beach, and watching live music. I am around and available for any of your pet care needs, feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests and I will try to be as accommodating as possible! I am a recent graduate from CalPoly looking to hang out with some furry friends for my last quarter in San Luis Obispo. As of now I am just babysitting for a few hours mid-day on weekdays, so I have plenty of times in the mornings and evenings to hang out and care for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and would love if you reached out to see if our availability matches up. My home has a backyard with grass and is completely fenced in. I also am comfortable going into or staying at clients homes to care for their animal, whatever works best for you. I am task oriented and can tailor to your animals needs easily whether that is playtime, feeding, walking, giving them medication, keeping them company, etc.


6. Robyn B.

“Robyn is so kind and took such good care of my dog Finley! She accepted a last minute request and was so accommodating. I would absolutely book again with her!”


7. Sandra P.

“Hank loved being with Sandra! He came home tired every day and was excited to see her which means a lot. She was very accommodating to my weird hospital hours which I very much appreciated.”


8. Niccola N.


“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.”


9. Jenny P.

“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!”


10. Caitlin K.


“Caitlin was so awesome! Could tell that our pups had a great time with her and scheduling was a breeze! Would definitely recommend and also would work with again!”


11. Maia G.
“I have known Maia her whole life. She is very loving and good with children and animals. She is very reliable, and consistent with completing her responsibilities.”


12. Thomas B.

“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!”


13. Sheridan B.

“Sheridan was great with my Sadie Joy! She kept things moving and interesting but also worked with her on not jumping up on her to greet her. She was also a good communicator about how Sadie did when I wasn't there, what they did together and asked appropriate questions to try to get to know Sadie better.”


14. Paige F.
“Paige has a dog of her own and there's only a handful of individuals where you can assume they've had them their entire life. Seeing her with her own dog is a true testament of a quentessential heartwarming non-verbal relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if her dog started fetching her slippers just to see her smile. Not only is worry a thing of the past as Paige is extremely responsible; she’s genuinely loving and highly attentive. If you want your pet to experience the same level of care and affection, she’s you're go-to and the only thing i'd worry about if I were you, is that her relationship with your furry will become stronger than yours.”


15. Alicia W.
“I’ve known Alicia for over 8 years who has a genuine love for dogs. She has cared for my Labrador,Lexi on numerous occasions. Alicia is flexible, friendly, has excellent communication and has provided excellent care. I STRONGLY recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a dependable, caring, trustworthy and knowledgeable person to walk or care for their fur babies.”


16. Sophia M.
“Sophia is an exemplary caregiver! She is driven, kind, and responsible. I would trust her with my pets any day! She pays close attention to detail and is very compassionate with her animals. She will be the perfect petsitter for any of your needs.”
