“Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful photos. Great communication. Almost always sees all 4 cats, even Lucy who loves to hide (even from me)! Always my first choice, of course!”

“Travis and Grace did an amazing job taking care of my boy. It was my first time using Rover and leaving Opie while I’m away without a friend or family member watching after him. But they made me feel super assured he was in great hands with lots of updates and pictures along the way. Will absolutely use them again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I have spent 8 years grooming my dog to be well kept. She is a doodle so shes a bit hard to manage, but I'm able to keep her from matting. I am currently a student at Cal Poly SLO. I miss my pup at my home town and want to help others keep their pets happy and clean! My home is a rental so I am extra aware of managing the house. That means I will always know where your pet is and what they are doing!

About: I've helped pet sit my friends family cat and bunny a long with taking care of my moms dog whenever I'd go visit her for the holidays. I'm a lovable person and absolutely love cats and dog. My work schedule changes throughout each week and my days off and hours are different all the time. Hopefully I can work things out and have a set time to pet sit. The pets at my friends home gets feed twice a day with a treat in between for a nice and balanced meal and the bunny and I would accommodate to your time and instructions as well for proper care.

“Jazz is awesome. Sweet, genuine and a big time cat and dog person. We highly recommend her! She was punctual and went above and beyond. 🍑 Peaches definitely found a new friend.”

“Joshuah is a great guy, he truly cares for the dogs he walks. We ran out of food while abroad and he stepped in to buy just the right kind Otto needed (real food). Thank you Joshua! Look forward to another visit.”

“Shayna was exceptional. Arrived early and fully prepared to care for my two dogs. She sent me pictures throughout the evening. I was running 45 minutes late in returning from dinner and she was more than patient. I didn't feel rushed at all. She told me to take my time. My dogs clearly loved her. My younger one even stole her shoe. She does that when she doesn't want you to leave. I will use her again the next time I visit Pismo/Morro Bay.”

About: Hi! I’m an Animal Science student at Cal Poly who loves caring for pets. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I always make sure animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. ’m a full-time Animal Science student at Cal Poly, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible outside of class, which allows me to plan walks, check-ins, or pet sitting visits throughout the day. I’m typically only away for class for a few hours at a time, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets making sure they’re comfortable, exercised, and getting attention. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and care into my routine and making sure each pet gets the time and care they need. I care for pets by following the routine and instructions their owner provides so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise through walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also happy to provide enrichment like games, outdoor time, or relaxing company depending on the pet’s personality and energy level. For cats and other pets, I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are maintained, and they get playtime or calm interaction if they enjoy it. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and ensuring pets stay safe while I’m there. My goal is to maintain the pet’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel happy and stress-free while their owner is away.

“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!”

About: I recently moved here! I am originally from Massachusetts and for the past two years I was living in Australia while getting my masters in marine biology. While I was there I watched several dogs overnight and for daily visits/walks. I am currently trying to find a job so I am very free :) I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your pets!! I live on a property without a fenced yard so I take my dog on a walk twice a day to make sure she gets the appropriate exercise.

“Riley took such good care of Sushi! She ensures that Sushi gets her walks and mental enrichment which is exactly what she needs. I definitely recommend her and would rebook her again for Sushi’s care. Thank you so much! 😊”

“Grace took very good care of our kitty while we were gone and kept us very well informed with pictures and updates. Also, very responsive to our needs. Will definitely use Grace again.”

About: Growing up, I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember. Puppies and kitties for over 40 yrs, and seniors as well. I've trained each and every one I have been blessed to own. My dogs have been welcomed in many places and the cats that I have had and now own are very well balanced. Pet care is daily in my life since I've owned dogs, cats and reptiles. I wouldn't have it any other way. Animals are very much a part of my life. I have 2 fenced patios, and regularly take my dog on walks. My dog takes daily trips to the local dog parks. I even walk the kitty, on harness.

About: What truly sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always had a natural connection with them, and I believe animals can sense the energy people bring around them. I make it a priority to create a calm, positive, and reassuring environment so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or more shy and reserved, I take the time to build trust and help them feel at ease. I’m patient, gentle, and very intuitive when it comes to reading body language and understanding what makes animals feel secure. I grew up around dogs, so they’ve always been a huge part of my life. I wasn’t raised around cats quite as much, but over the past five years I’ve had the chance to spend much more time around them, and I’ve truly fallen in love with them. Getting to know their unique personalities has been such a joy, and now I adore cats just as much as I do dogs—with my whole heart. I’m also comfortable caring for pets at different life stages. I have patience with younger pets who are still learning routines and boundaries, and I’m especially gentle and mindful with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or more comfort. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels loved, relaxed, and happy while in my care, and that owners feel confident knowing their pet is in kind and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekdays after 5:30 PM, which allows me to provide evening walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship for pets who need care later in the day. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day and evening. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, whether that means longer visits, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and relaxed.

I’m very mindful of how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I make sure to be dependable and present during the times I commit to.

Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the same respect and care I would expect for mine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routine they’re already familiar with so they feel secure and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner has.
