“Makaela provided great service and care to my cat Rumi. She was very responsive and able to accommodate my request for drop in visits with a short notice. She also was very friendly, responsible, and provided great updates including pictures of my kitty Rumi. I will definitely use Makaela in the future!”

About: Looking for opportunities to walk and play with dogs and to be ignored by cats. All will get tender care. Senior care, adult, puppy/kitten attention. To provide care consistent with what you want for your beloved companions My schedule is flexible and can accommodate planned and short notice pet/companion care visits. Your companions will have my full attention with visits and walks. My two beloved cats are indoor only. Love being brushed and to play with their toys. My dogs were always secured in a fenced yard and monitored while outside. Walks, fetch, floor play with their toys. Lots of love for all just hanging out with them.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for pets like they’re family. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day and week. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more relaxed and routine-oriented, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and safe. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and behavior, and I provide lots of care, patience, and attention.
About: Our family members have been animal lovers our whole lives and have had a number of dogs and cats over our lifetime. Before kids we had 5 years of pet and house sitting experience. Based on word of mouth in friends and acquaintances. We will provide a nurturing environment where your pets feel like part of our family. As parents of three kids, we involve our children in daily pet care routines, teaching them responsibility and compassion. This hands-on approach ensures your pets receive personalized attention and affection. We understand that each pet has unique needs. Whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or providing extra playtime, we customize our services to ensure your pet's comfort and well-being. We believe in keeping you informed and are happy to provide updates and photos of your pets during our visits, so you can rest easy knowing they're in good hands. We are deeply connected to our local community. Our services are designed to support families and pet owners in our area, fostering a sense of trust and familiarity. Kids are in a hybrid homeschool program my husband works a remote job from home and I am a full time mom so we are in and out several times a day but rarely gone more than 30-60 mins at a time. Which means we are available for pet care at regular intervals majority of the day 7 days a week. We live on a one acre property set back from the road and fenced around the sides and back. We do have a gate that we put across the driveway at night to keep the deer out of the fruit orchard so we have the possibility of fencing the whole property by putting the deer gate up in the day. We have a separate fenced back yard off of our deck with dog door access from the living room of the house. We have 2 cats that have their own space in the garage with in and out access. And we have a 30 lb 16 year old dog named Ninja he is mellow and sweet and sleeps most of the day.

“Madison is super sweet and kind. Our kittens were not afraid of her at all from the start and she kept us up to date with messages and pictures of how the girls were doing while we were away and even brought our mail in. Thank you Madison for loving our girls and caring for our home like it was yours 😻”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs—from energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle walks or medication. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, making sure every pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable communication and genuine care every time. I'm currently working a part time job and available anytime after 4pm on Sundays and anytime before 4pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and free the rest of the week and very flexible on any time you need. My own two dogs, two decently sized border collies, one very energetic, one lazy, who have a whole backyard to themselves along with a kennel in the garage connected by a doggy door to the backyard! I feed them two times a day and walk them at least once a day, and constantly check their water bowls.
About: I currently work at a dog kennel in San Luis Obispo. I volunteer at the department of animal services and walk dogs that are available for adoption and I’ve worked in 3 different veterinary hospitals I have a part time job in San Luis Obispo , so I’m available in the afternoons and evenings. My days off are usually pretty open. I have 2 fenced in patios. So pets can go outside and be protected. My personal cat is able to go outside and get some sun.
“Andrew came over and met our pups. He not only followed my specific instructions, but one of our dogs had thrown up before Andrew came over to take them out, and Andrew cleaned it up for me while I was away. He is a super nice and conscientious guy. I would not hesitate to have him come over again!”

About: Hello! My name is Nixie I am 25 years old. I live in Los Osos on a horse ranch with my 4 cats, Fig, Fern, Miso and Spliff. I worked at an animal sanctuary for 5 years and I’m now a baker in Cayucos. I have experience with all kinds of animals! I am an easy going person, I love to do any outdoor activity as well as making music.I am very communicative and compassionate. I hope you choose me to help take care of your pet! Have a great day :) I work Sunday-Thursday 7-2ish so I take care of my pets and others pets outside that time. I enjoy spending most of my time around animals and with friends and doing any outdoor activities! I am very observational (as I’ve been told by many bosses) so I will make sure to be very aware of what your pet is feeling. I also am very communicative so will ask if anything comes up!
About: Animals have always been one of the greatest teachers in my life. Through my work as a shepherd and livestock caretaker, I’ve learned that every animal has its own language, personality, and needs. Working alongside livestock guardian dogs especially taught me the value of patience, observation, and earning an animal’s trust rather than demanding it. I love taking the time to get to know each pet as an individual and providing the kind of attentive, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care visits. My schedule varies somewhat, but I do my best to be reliable, communicative, and consistent with each pet’s routine. I’m an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so I love spending time walking dogs, playing with them, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. I believe pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any specific instructions closely. Through my work with livestock and livestock guardian dogs, I’ve learned to pay attention to animal behavior and pick up on subtle changes that may indicate something is off. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated along the way with messages and photos.

“Kari was so sweet to our cat and went above and beyond. She was really easy to work with and I felt completely confident in her abilities. I would absolutely recommend her services.”

“Kim is seriously the best. She’s always so communicative, takes the best care, and her whole family loves our dogs so well! We’re so happy every time we ask her to come over”

“Cara is excellent. She has watched our cats / home the last 2 times we have been out of town and we plan to ask her again. She is easy to work with, communicates well. Was very detailed oriented and even double checked that our lockbox worked before we went out of town when we had a pre-trip meet up. We are very grateful for her support.”

“Joshuah has visited our cat several times and is always great with communication and photos, and spends a lot of time just letting our old cat sit on his lap. Very thankful!”

About: Over the years I've had many different pets, both personal and family ones. From older dogs who needed help going to the bathroom, to cats with nose sprays, to dogs with reactive behavior. I love them each individually, and my goal is to understand what your animal needs to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I know how to do basic behavior training, not a professional by any means but I spent my free time teaching my childhood dogs tricks, and have helped raise multiple animals from their baby stages. I am currently unemployed, so I am consistently available throughout the week with few exceptions. My household already has a dog at home as well, so it's already part of my daily routine I will treat your pets like royalty. If you want me to stay there as much as I can to keep your baby company, I will gladly do so. Every animal I've cared for has had different feeding preferences, so I'll follow whatever schedule I'm given. If there's anything I'm at all concerned about, I won't hesitate to let you know. Even if it's a small issue, I believe you should be kept up to date on your pets. Our dog currently gets two walks a day, and eats refrigerated food. Nothing is "too much" in terms of loving your pets to me.
About: I’ve cared for Pets of all kinds since I was 18 years old trusted by family friends and neighbors for walking, feeding bathing and loving pets proud pets. Proud grandma to two cats and two dogs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I already plan my days around fun, feeding walks, playtime, and check-in, making care, consistent and reliable🐾 I enjoy caring for pets in my home playful happy routine means a lot. I will do the same in your home walks talks, and clean up.
“Jazz likes cats, and our cat, Mr. Blue, likes her! Blue is tough to sit for because he was feral and had to learn to be domestic, but all is well and we would definitely book with Jazz to watch Blue again.”

“My fur girls were so excited to see Samantha everyday. She showed up on time and took them on nice walks to get their energy out. She is reliable and a great communicator. Will 100% use her again.”


“Elly took great care of our two cats while we were gone for two weeks. She also gave us plenty of updates during her visits, which was greatly appreciated since we missed our cats!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Osos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
