“Mika always has the best time with Jen & Julie! They are both natural animal lovers with friendly and calm demeanors. They have been watching Mika for us when needed for about 5+ years. Mika is always well taken care of with walks, lots of snuggles, and sunbathing time when weather permits! Mika can be anxious around others and have trouble with eating and sleeping when she’s not in her normal environment. But with Jen & Julie, she’s done really well! Jen & Julie always keep us updated with pictures and letting us know how she’s doing, which helps us feel at ease when we have to leave our sweet girl behind. Mika is always excited when we drop her off with Jen & Julie and it seems like Mika views her stays as her own little vacation! They are always our number one pick when it comes to watching our girl.”
“Heidi, Phil, and their daughter were very responsive and made sure to update us with the cutest pictures. We could tell from our first video meeting that they really love animals and strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment that meets all your pet’s needs. Highly recommend and will be our new go to boarding/daycare when we’re in town!”
“Katie was so wonderful! My dog came home relaxed and tired from all the fun. I can tell she was properly cared for and given a lot of attention and exercise. I was so grateful for Katie’s kindness and understanding of my special, quirky dog.”
“Sunny was treated like an extension of Alicia’s family and was so well-loved while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing he was in a loving home and it was like he had his own vacation while we were away. Great family and perfect yard for a dog - highly recommend!”
“Matt and his pup Dewey were great! This was Oakley’s first boarding experience and Matt made sure to make her feel at home and us feel at ease leaving her. It’s clear he’s a great pet Dad! Oakley had so much fun being able to run around the yard and play with Dewey. We’d definitely use Matt in the future.”
“Caitlin was incredibly attentive with my nervous Nellie and remained in contact with me throughout her oversight stay. I appreciate her kind and thoughtful demenor to help my senior pup feel safe.”
“Sarah was communicative and very caring of Boone. She went above and beyond to drop him off and pick him up from our wedding venue, and took extra care of him as he became overly anxious in the process. She can be trusted to take care of your dog!”
“Paul was awesome! Highly recommend! Huey is a blue heeler and we worry about him causing chaos when he stays with people, but after meeting Paul I felt comfortable with his ability to “handle” the chaos of a heeler. Huey led Paul into the house and didn’t look back to say bye so I know he felt comfortable there as well. We got updates and pictures throughout his stay which was great. When we’re back in the area, we will definitely book with Paul again. Thanks Paul!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I’m thankful that our first time was with Marin. She made us feel at ease throughout the time she had our puppy. She didn’t give up when he struggled on his first night and she made him feel comfortable throughout the rest of his stay.”
“Kyle and Sara took such good care of our dogs. It was the dogs first overnight stay anywhere and Kyle and Sara cared for them and made the stay wonderful for the dogs. Thank you so much!”
About: I'm happy to spend extra time on dog level...on the floor with them, talking to them, playing, letting them know they are important. They need that everyday. I am home most days and would like to make myself useful to other pet-owners around me! I know people have busy schedules and also want the best for their pets. In our home, our dog is a family member and is a constant part of our lives. Your pet will be just as important when in my care!
“Leaving Harmony with someone new was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done. She has never stayed with a stranger before, and I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for nine days while I traveled to Orlando for my nephew’s graduation. From the very beginning, Sandra was kind, communicative, and reassuring. A few days into my trip, Harmony became very sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and accidents in Sandra’s apartment, including blood in her stool. I felt terrible that Harmony was sick and also horrible that Sandra was having to deal with such a stressful situation in her home. What stood out to me was Sandra’s level of care and compassion. She never made me feel like Harmony was a burden. Instead, she immediately went to the store to get pumpkin to help settle her stomach, kept me updated constantly, and when things worsened, she let me know she believed Harmony needed to see a vet. Sandra took Harmony to the vet herself, called me from the appointment, and even put me on speakerphone so I could speak directly with the veterinarian and be part of the conversation every step of the way. Multiple times I asked Sandra if she thought I needed to come home early, and she told me she would absolutely tell me if she felt that was necessary. Because of Sandra, I was able to stay and watch my nephew graduate knowing Harmony was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while I was away. Not once did I question whether Harmony was receiving the best care possible. I came home today to a well cared for dog, and I truly cannot thank Sandra enough. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and handle even difficult situations with patience, compassion, and professionalism, book Sandra. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: We’ve always owned both dogs and cats, from puppies and kittens to elderly. Our lives would not be the same without our fur babies and we will take excellent care of yours. We have raised feral cats from birth and enjoy having animals around us. They are members of the family and definitely treated as such. We look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby! I work part time days and my husband works nights so between us there is almost always someone home. Our son is 17 and daughter is 13 and both are very big help with our pets. They love our Golden Retriever and cat and are always ready to snuggle. Our pets are on a feeding schedule and are both indoor/outdoor and consistently cared for throughout the day and night. Since my husband works nights he even checks on them in the wee hours. Your fur baby’s care is our top priority! In your home we will follow whatever schedule and regimen you request so that things are consistent for your pets. In our home your pet will be allowed both inside and outside with lots of love and attention. If there are special circumstances, let us know. You are welcome to bring any favored treats, toys, beds, or a crate to help your pet feel more at home with us.
“What a great family! They took several photos every day and lots of walks! I could tell my Spencer was well loved....when I picked him up he was so excited and kept going back to Shamaraha to share his excitement with her. He truly bonded with the whole family and I am sure he will be so excited to see their little 9yr old Fiona in December 🥰🥰❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grover Beach
💯 recommend Heidi! I don’t live in the area and needed a last second overnight for a celebration of life. My deaf Aussie is a rockstar but not without his challenges in which I worry more about a sitter not prepared for a fluffy, boss that’s out of his routine and tactically savvy at food and ball manipulation. Not only were Heidi and family fantastic at communicating, they were flexible and accommodating from the start. I’ve not yet had a bad experience with a sitter but Heidi and family went above and beyond…apparently there’s going to be a song about this fluffy butt. Highly recommended in the Arroyo Grande/Pismo area.
Matt and his pup Dewey were great! This was Oakley’s first boarding experience and Matt made sure to make her feel at home and us feel at ease leaving her. It’s clear he’s a great pet Dad! Oakley had so much fun being able to run around the yard and play with Dewey. We’d definitely use Matt in the future.
I had a wonderful experience with Alexandria! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was responsible, communicative, and genuinely cared about making my girl comfortable and happy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter — I’d happily book with her again!
Paul was awesome! Highly recommend! Huey is a blue heeler and we worry about him causing chaos when he stays with people, but after meeting Paul I felt comfortable with his ability to “handle” the chaos of a heeler. Huey led Paul into the house and didn’t look back to say bye so I know he felt comfortable there as well. We got updates and pictures throughout his stay which was great.

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.
95% of sitters in Grover Beach 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 Grover Beach 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 Grover Beach.
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 Grover Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Grover Beach 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.
