About: I grew up with animals and have always had a special connection with them. I have worked with animals of all walks of life in an animal shelter & truly enjoy getting to witness their success. When working at the animal shelter I used to take dogs on walks and to the play pens where they would socialize with potential new families and other dogs. While they were in the play pens it was my job to ensure things ran smoothly and to deescalate any situations that might arise. Being able to celebrate in an animals victories and see how much they have grown & learned over time is like nothing else! I am wholly committed to anything your pet may need during our time together, no interruptions unless there is an emergency.

“I'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”
“Met up with Hannah for a meet and greet with my dog and she was great. My husky is a tough guy to walk sometimes if you lack confidence but she took him on and had full control. I’m excited to continue to work with Hannah and for her and my dog to build a relationship. Can’t wait for the next walk!”
About: I’ve cared for all pets since 2018—puppies to seniors, shy to high-energy, all kinds of dogs, cats, and even farm animals. I bring a calm, comfortable, and very reliable experience. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all personalities and routines, and I’m very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented in my care. I’m also comfortable handling more sensitive or unexpected situations, and always stay calm, present, and proactive. I naturally build strong, lasting relationships with both pets and their owners, creating a level of trust that keeps clients coming back. My goal is to create a safe, consistent, and genuinely comfortable experience for every pet, while making sure owners feel informed, confident, and completely at ease. My days naturally revolve around caring for the pets I’m trusted with, while giving my clients true peace of mind; I genuinely love what I do.

I create a calm, comfortable environment where your pet feels safe, understood, and truly cared for with consistent attention, quality time, and lots of love. I’m very attentive when it comes to communication and keeping you updated. You can expect consistent, thoughtful updates with photos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.

Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“I had a great experience working with Darian. He walked my pooch for a full week while I was busy in meetings and couldn't walk him myself like we normally do. My buddy boy was happy and tired after a good strenuous walk (which he needs and loves!) and Darian even set his food dish down for me after the walk so he could have his breakfast. Thank you Darian, looking forward to the next time!”
About: While going to college I walked approximately 10 dogs (individually) per month with occasional 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable with all size dogs; Chihuahua to Great Danes. If the dog likes to run, I’m up for that too. I like to be active and I know some dogs need a good run to get out their energy. I’m open to pet care. My house is pet friendly, and has a backyard enclosed with a 6 ft fence, gate that locks and a grassy area. I care for pets as if they were my own. I can give baths, make sure they are fed on time - including medication, and bathroom breaks, and most importantly walks or runs.
About: Hi! My name is Denae, I am a central coast native that works in education. I have a beautiful German Shepard husky named Harris - we love being outside and exploring! I have a special bond with animals and look forward to walking your doggy. I am very punctual and reliable, hope to hear from you soon! I currently work as a school psychologist during the school year. However, I am on summer vacation right now! During the year, I am off on the weekends. I love to exercise pups and give them the TLC they deserve I am a well organized professional. I currently have dogs of my own that I take pride in caring for. I always make sure that dog poop is picked up in the yard, clean water bowls and filled up food bowls. I have experience with elderly dogs and dogs with special needs
About: *MEET & GREET IS REQUIRED FOR FIRST TIME BOOKERS WITH Me* I have been working in the field as a vet assistant for almost 4 years now. I have immensely enjoyed caring for animals, and would love to continue that even outside of work. Both cats and dogs are welcomed; I do have 2 cats of my own. I grew up surrounded by cats, so I would say I have that feline touch. I understand that cats have vastly different personalities and may not want to be touched or played with. But if your cat happens to love playing and being petted, then I will happily meet those needs. I believe that open communication and transparency is important, so you’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being while you’re away. I am skilled at administering oral medications and even subcutaneous injections, if needed. As well as caring for special needs and or elderly pets. I am trained in understanding body language and how to recognize signs of illness in pets. I am mostly available for walks, drop-ins, and house sittings. I have a part time job, and I am a student, so I will update my calendar regularly to reflect my availability to properly care for your pet. The safety of your pet is important to me and is a task I take very seriously. Your pet is in safe hands with me.
About: I have had a pet dog for several years in the past, and I more recently have been connected to households in my hometown neighborhood to provide petsitting care for 7 households so far. Having worked with aging and young dogs, and am able to administer medication and make sure they are nourished and able to exercise. I have also had the pleasure to care for chickens and cats. Additionally, I spent a year developing technician skills in professional pet grooming services in a veterinary setting. My passion for animal care began when I started volunteering with training and socializing cats and dogs at my local animal shelter. Last summer, I worked with baby birds at a wildlife clinic. After finishing school at UC Davis, I am still looking for part time or full time work. I am generally not busy outside the home for necessarily more than 5 hours at a time. I am available all week currently! I would be happy to care for your pet at your home, but am open to the discussion of any alternative arrangements. I am practiced at being a housesitter or dog walker.
About: Hi, my name is Matt, I’ve cared for pets for over 20 years and I would love to take care of your dog! I’m home all day, enjoy spoiling my doggie guests with affection, and have a large home and yard for lots of play😁 I have a friendly cavadoodle of my own, so ideally we like to host pups that get along with others! I work from home full time with a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate any scheduling needs. I enjoy getting exercise with my dog guests in the morning by playing in the yard, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or taking a beach walk if allowed. Rest of the day is more play with me and my dog or if your pup prefers to lounge and relax after a ruff day, I can set them up to hangout with me separately while my dog relaxes in my spare room if needed. I have a very large, clean, safe and secure home and yard for dogs. I have ample space indoors, doggy beds available, and am happy to accommodate dogs health needs as requested. I also live 5 minutes away from a 24 hour vet hospital and have experience in identifying potential medical issues with dogs🏥 I work from home with a flexible schedule and and can hang out, play, go on walks, hit the park, or do anything else that your pup needs on the spot! When a dog arrives, I like to show them lots of affection and give them some sort of treat to help build some trust and companionship. I then like to give them a tour of the home like I would a human lol... Most dogs love sniffing around my large fenced yard and I always make sure to accompany them so that they can get used to me keeping an eye on them. From there, I usually like to be in the same room as my dogs at all times unless they are taking a nap on the couch and or want their alone time :)
“Angelia took great care of Charlie. Took her on a different stroll than her usual walk. She was happy when I arrived home, and everything was in great shape. Would not hesitate to ask her to walk Charlie in the future!”
About: I’ve had a few steady pet sitting/walking jobs in the last few years. I worked as a dog walker for an amazing woman in Malibu for her 5 dogs and walked 5x a week ~3.5 hours a day. I’ve also done many overnight stays in people’s homes for their cats/dogs when they are out for weekend getaways or longer vacations. I have my own dog (Stormy, Chow 2.5 years old) and absolutely love her to death! I’d love to spend time with your pets whether they just want companionship, walks, playtime, or hiking/beach adventures. I’ve had experience with high energy, low energy, various breeds, you name it. Send me a message if you have any questions to see if I would be a good fit for your fur baby. I am a full-time graduate student at Cal Poly but will have free time in between to do some dog walking or drop in visits. Coming into your home I will treat your pets just as I would treat my own, with all the love and care in the world!(: Each individual circumstance depends on the client’s and pet’s needs and will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
About: I groomed dogs in 2022 & 2023 and developed genuine deep relationships that will last a lifetime. I truly appreciate each pets characteristics & personality. I’ve enjoyed thoroughly the time I’m blessed with in serving the communities furry friends! I’m available full time right now and am interested in short or extended stays I use the gym for an hour, 3 times a week but flexible there. Ready for new jobs to come my way. I’m always trying to insure pet safety 1st. I ensure they are heard and pay particular attention to changes in behaviors as these are tell tell signs of anxiety etc. Walking to bond and encouraging play is always pertinent . Talking in a loving way where they feel loved and ready to respond is vital to building trust.

Communication was great! Sarah is friendly and punctual. She was able to juggle my complicated schedule to get my dog out and walking. Also, she would call and let us know five minutes before she was done so we could greet her at the gate. She took some nice pictures during his walks. Highly recommend.
I was extremely impressed with Riley. From the moment she greeted my dog. I knew that she was gonna be a good fit. Our meet and greet let me to believe that she’s outstanding. She asked extremely valuable questions. She’s very well organized. I would highly recommend her for anything pet related.
Grace was always punctual, positive and truly enjoyed being with my pet. She was organized and worked out times and dates with me in advance of her walks. I recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for an energetic person to care for their animal. Please contact me, I can’t sing her praises enough.
I couldn’t recommend Shawn enough! He took such great care of my dog, was a great communicator, reliable, and sent updates everyday. I could tell my dog was in great hands and he looked very happy in every video or photo update I received. I would definitely hire Shawn again. Thank you, Shawn!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Grover Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Grover Beach.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grover Beach. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
