“This was our first time scheduling overnight stays with Jenna. She was amazing! Not only did she get us out of a last minute bind, but she cared for our girl like one of her own. She communicated with us daily and sent pictures updates. She put our minds at ease knowing Birdie was in such good hands. We will definitely schedule her in the future!”

“Tara is the absolute best, we feel lucky to have her help. Our little dog Puff stayed with Tara for 4 days last minute, and she was so understanding and thoughtful with him. He had not met very many kids before, but her kiddos were wonderful, kind and sweet— they really contributed to his care. Thank you to the family from us and Puff!”

About: Active and attentive family available to provide multiple levels of care for your fur baby! Our nine-year-old is interested in starting a dog walking business (with support from mom or dad), and we are also able to board a friendly dog who would be sharing space with our elderly dog or do drop-ins/ house sit when more appropriate (not the whole family!). We can provide exercise through walks, on-leash hikes, or whatever works for your dog. I’ve been around dogs most of my life and am comfortable with all ages (puppy to elderly). Our child is in a hybrid homeschool program so someone is home most days throughout the day to keep your pet company. Our child is a hybrid homeschool program so we are home 4 days a week all day and gone for an hour or two on school days for drop off and pick up. We have a fenced yard and live close to dog friendly beaches and trails. If you have a cat you need a sitter for, we are available for drop-ins or to stay at your residence because our dog has strong opinions about the feline species.

“Mellow, relaxed, thoughtful, attentive, caring I think my cat would rather adopt Cara as her owner than me, If she had the choice!! Good thing she doesn't, The little squirt 🤣 If my cat can't take another day of my shenanigans, I know exactly where to take her for peace of mind!”

About: Hi there! I am a Cal Poly Alumni with a bachelors of science and a degree in elementary education! I grew up in an animal-loving home from having toy poodles to golden doodles and 2 childhood cats and continue to carry this love of animals with me everywhere I go! I am a very passionate animal lover who understands how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry companion. Whether it’s a quick walk, long hike, playtime, or overnight stays, I treat every animal like they are my own! I can assure you that your animal will feel loved, safe, and happy when you are away! I currently nanny Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as Thursdays and Fridays from 10-4pm! I usually am available all day on Wednesdays, as well as at 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays! I am also available some weekends for any overnight stays your pets may need! I live in an apartment near downtown Slo with parks a block away from me where I could take furry friends to run around or for a potty break! I have one cat that minds her own business and is very used to dogs!

About: Hello, Jen here 👋 a life long lover of all animals, passionate about providing spaces and enriching experiences that make every day your pet’s best day ever! Whether they’re rambunctious, reserved, or have a little hitch in their get-along you can rest assured that I’ll meet your fur baby exactly where they’re at. ———————————————————————————————————— The Home: Located in the heart of AG near trails and open space, our house features a fully fenced backyard, a full-sun balcony for the sunbathers/lovers and plenty of additional spots on our half acre property for on-leash sniffing. ✅ Pet-safe environment ✅ Never alone ✅ Well versed in senior care requirements and administrating meds *** Disclaimer: I do not work from home, but my partner does *** The Home Team: 👭 Julie: My partner, a fellow animal lover with a knack for establishing trust with even the most timid of pups. 🐶 Sutter: Our sweet natured, well-mannered 13 year old vizsla. 🐱 Ursa: Our equally as sweet, but less well mannered 2 year old cat. ———————————————————————————————————— Have a skill you want worked on while you’re away? Say no more. While not certified (yet), I have over a decade of experience in the specialized training fields of rally obedience, nose work, and agility; I’m happy to provide board and train services. ———————————————————————————————————— BOARDING REQUIREMENTS: Because we have a resident cat and a senior dog, all guests must be cat-friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable sharing space with other animals. We require a meet-and-greet prior to booking. Please note that we cannot accommodate puppies, aggressive dogs, or pets that become aggressive during medication administration. To ensure every guest receives personalized attention, I have a maximum of two dogs at a time (from the same family only). Boarding / Daycare: There will be someone (my spouse, me, or both of us) with your dog the majority of the time, day and night. If we are both out running errands, we are often back within a few hours and usually within an hour, but if there are any special needs for your pup, let me know and I can be sure to let you know if we can accommodate, such as having someone with your pup at all times. Our schedules are very flexible, so feel free to ask based on your preferences. While I work during the day from an office, my spouse works from home and therefore is available to keep your pup company, let them go out to the bathroom, and if needed, is available for short play times. We will take your dog on daily walks and/or outdoor playtime and just let us know your dog's regular routine and we can try best to accommodate. In addition to play time, we will give your dog time to rest and they will get plenty of affection. Depending on the dog, we can also head out for a trail walk or a trip to a fenced dog park for a good run/play. You can expect photo and video updates daily (frequency based on your preference) so you can see how your pup is doing. Dog Walking: I'll pick up your dog and take them on a walk tailored to their energy and needs — neighborhood walks, hiking trails, or a fenced park for off-leash time if that's the right fit. Drop-In Visits: I'll stop by your home to visit with your pet(s), play with them, let dogs out to the bathroom, give them food and water and spend quality time with them. I can also care for other pets in the home, such as reptiles, fish, or plant, depending on what's required, an additional pet charge may apply. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks or sniffing the fresh air or enjoying the sunshine and a larger, unfenced area that I can take your pup(s) on short, leashed jaunts to sniff around. I can crate your dog, if ever needed.

About: I would always help my sister take care of dogs when she was animal sitting on rover. I currently am babysitting and working for Respite so I have experience in childcare. I love animals and would love to make some extra money as a college student. I am currently attending Cuesta College twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im free after 3 o’clock when my classes are over. Every other day of the week I am free all day. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and welcome in my home. Im very clean, and if sitting at your house I will be respectful of the space.

Tara and Jed had our dog, Obi, over the holidays and we could not be more pleased with their care of him! They sent updates everyday (including pictures) and made Obi a part of their family. They were extremely quick to respond and answered every question we had during the pre-booking process. They are clearly great dog owners themselves, and showed that experience in their care of Obi. We would absolutely leave Obi with Tara and Jed again and we’re so happy we found them!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Los Osos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Los Osos on Rover is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $77 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Los Osos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

94% of sitters in Los Osos 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 Los Osos 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 Los Osos.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Los Osos 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.
