“Rachel and her family took great care of my Bridget girl. She sent updates and photos and I could see the happiness in Bridget’s face in the photos. I’ve already booked Rachel for our next trip.”
“Two weeks late with this review here. Marissa was awesome. Felt at ease while my girl was under her care. Marissa was professional keeping me updated with progress and photos. If you're looking to book in Atascadero, I wouldn't hesitate on letting her be your top choice in pup care. I'll certainly book again when in the are. Thank you for taking care of my little girl!”
“This is the first time we have boarded Gracie since the passing of her sister. She has had separation anxiety issues and we were concerned that she might have a difficult time without us. Douglas offered to have Gracie visit him before our trip to familiarize herself with his home. He was very patient with her and as a result Gracie had a wonderful time with Douglas and Pepe.”
“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”
“Sarah is fantastic: proactive and trustworthy. She prepared a thoughtful list of questions so she could get to know my dog, provided a peaceful space in her home, and communicated extremely well both before and during the stay.”
“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!”
“Tori was caring, capable and the dogs seemed very cared for. She followed all their directions for care. Her place has lots of dirt but they were very clean when we returned . She was very flexible with my dates. I would book again.”
“So thankful we found Kara. She gave such great overnight care to our two puppies. They seemed to fit in well with her home. We will definitely use Kara again when we come back to the central coast wine country.”
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.
“Marissa is an incredibly understanding, communicative, accommodating and trustworthy dog sitter. My dog has behavioral issues and she went out of her way to meet us twice before having our first overnight stay. She knows her way around e-collars which is incredibly helpful for pups like mine that have gone through a board and stay boot camp. I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”

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 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!
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
“Heidi and Phil were so great with Leo! I can tell he was in good hands and in great spirits the whole time. They made me feel at ease and sent nice updates during his stay. Thank you so very much! Leo will love to see you again soon”

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 Cayucos 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 Cayucos 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 Cayucos.
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 Cayucos. 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 Cayucos 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.
