“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick (I have experience with diabetic cats), I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently work a full-time 9-5 job. When it comes to drop-ins and walks I am available before 8:30 am and after 5:30 pm during the week. My schedule on the weekends is more open. When housesitting I am available to stay overnight for as long as needed, but do want owners aware of my work schedule to make sure it will work for them and their animals. However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.
“Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!”
“Wendy did a great job with my boys!! She followed my instructions to the T and asked questions when she wasn’t sure. My boys were happy and healthy when I got home. They were sad to see her go! I will book with Wendy again!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. Their quirky personalities and cuddly moments never get old! While I’m a lifelong cat lover, I also have a soft spot for dogs and have plenty of experience caring for both. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve been there every step of the way. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just companionship, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. I work full time at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Even with a busy schedule, I make time for what matters—so I’m available for pet care visits after work on weekdays, anytime after 2 PM on Fridays, and fully open on weekends. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pets feel loved and cared for, even when your schedule gets hectic. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, whether they have paws that pounce or tails that wag. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding routines, and I always keep a close eye on behavior and health. Whether it’s a curious cat or an energetic pup, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, gentleness, and lots of love. You can trust that they’re in safe, caring hands.
About: A little about myself - if we met at a party or other social event I would probably be the one trying to make friends with your cat or dog... or fish. I'm not particular. In a lot of ways I prefer animals to people :) I've had a pet (of some sort) every day of my life. I love dogs and cats, but I also love reptiles and other nontraditional pets. I won't shy away from a challenge. If you need someone to care for your aging fur baby(s) in your home with drop-in visits or in my home with boarding, I am happy to make it work. If you have long days at work I can also stop by and walk your furry friends. I’m currently available full-time for my pet care services, so my schedule can be flexible to fit your needs. While I prefer boarding in my home (it provides the best of both worlds—full-time care for the pets while I can accomplish other tasks as well), I can also do drop-in visits and dog walking at your location. I am currently in an apartment community but it’s pet friendly and one story. There are plenty of areas to go for walks and a patio in the back with access to green space.
“Bella watched Oscar at my house from Friday evening until Sunday morning. She was great with him, sent pictures and texts to update me and answered all questions I had. My neighbors even gave her a 5 Star review based on observations and speaking with her. This was my first time having someone watch him other than relatives and I was a bit nervous both for Oscar, Bella and myself for how it was going to go. I found all those nerves unnecessary as things turned out great! I would definitely request Bella again and recommend her to others.”
“Christin was GREAT with Betty, and took good care of her. I got pictures and videos the whole time, and Betty barely even missed me it seems like. Will definitely be using Christin again!”
About: … but God had other plans, and made me an Army VET instead!! Just love animals. I feel their energy and meet them where they are. Am a lifelong Animal lover and have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. Worked at an animal kennel, the zoo and assisted at a local veterinarian office in my teens. Have never lived without animals - they are family!!! I work remotely and am a momma. My routine revolves around getting my son too and from school. If I’m not on the road for work then my home routine is very flexible to whatever special need's your furry family may have. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect. My son and I have lots of love to give! I am a nurse by trade and pay close attention to catch behavior changes or potential medical concerns.
“Trystine did great. I'd never had a house sitter before and the one I had booked previously ghosted 2 weeks before the booking, but Trystine stepped in and saved the day. Responsive to messages and respectful of your wishes and boundaries. My dog is shy and she gave him the patience he needed to adjust to her. Thank you.”
“Did an amazing job with my doggos! She asked very good questions during our meet and greet and she spent a lot of time hanging out with them and keeping them happy while I was away! I can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Stephanie offers pet parents excellent communication and is a very responsible sitter. Our cats love Stephanie, even the super skittish one. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Morgan! As a lifelong animal lover and ranch-raised caretaker, I bring unique skills and extensive experience to my role as a pet sitter. My background includes caring for a wide range of animals, from horses and livestock to playful pups and gentle giants like Rottweilers. Growing up on a ranch has taught me how to read animal behaviors and provide calm, attentive care, whether your pet needs a burst of energy or gentle companionship. My approach combines deep knowledge of animal needs with a genuine passion for every pet I meet. Your furry friend will be safe, loved, and engaged in my care. I’m currently living at home for the summer looking for some pet jobs when they come up! I will be home until about August, but until then my schedule is open for bookings! I live on a large 20 acre ranch in San Luis Obispo, we don’t have a yard or a fenced area, but I would be happy to hang out with your pup in the house. I have a Rottweiler and a Springer Spaniel and they are both very friendly!
About: I absolutely adore dogs and I will definitely play and/ or snuggle with yours! I have pet-sat for many families and they have all said great things about me and keep wanting me back. Pet-sitting for others also proved to my mom that I could love and take care of my own dog. After I moved out I adopted a pitbull mix and have successfully trained her. I also went to pursue my dream of working in the vet field and currently am a vet tech. I am a very trustworthy and loving dog person. You will not regret having me as your pet-sitter! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I am available for house-sitting on weekends and walks or play time during the week. Since going to vet school I have been trained on cat and dog first aid/ CPR, can administer any medications your pet may need, and was Fear-Free certified to work with any type of behavior from your pet.
About: I grew up with animals and been around many types of animals my whole life. I am reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I will carefully follow all instructions you have for your furbaby. I am a teacher on summer break, I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I am free during the day and evenings. I have two friendly cats that love to make new friends. Your pet would have free roam of my home. If you prefer I could easily crate your pet.

“Erin is such a wonderful, trustworthy, reliable, honest person. I have a big 24lb cat whose name is Kit Kat. He is very hesitant of people but he just warms right up to Erin every time he sees her.

Erin has shared that she has dogs and cats herself with other pets in between and she loves sharing stories about them. I would recommend Erin top notch if you ever need someone to help with your animal babies. She has above a 5 star rating from me, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!”

Morgan M.
“I am thrilled to recommend Morgan as excellent dog walker and caregiver. Having live on a ranch her entire life, Morgan has gained a lifetime of experience working with animals of all kinds, and her dedication to their care is evident. From feeding and grooming to exercising and training, Morgan's skills go beyond basic pet care; she has a deep understanding of animal behavior and a natural ability to connect with them. Morgan's reliability and kidness set her apart. She knows hoe to keep animals calm and happy, she's not afraid of hard work or early mornings - qualities that come naturally after years of ranch life. I have no doubt that Morgan will treat any dog under her care with the same attentiveness and compassion that she has shown her own animals. Anyone who entrust their pet to Morgan can rest assured that they are in great hands.”

Dowling pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jess did a great job looking after our pups while we were out of town and also provided us with updates / photos while she was around. Super easy to work with, great communication, and we appreciate how well she interacted with our pups during the initial meeting before our trip. We'll definitely look to use Jess again for our upcoming trips.
