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.
“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”

“Adrienne took such good care of my pups while I was away recently! She was super punctual and got on with the dogs just great. Enzo and Bentley were well cared for while I was away and would have her help again any time!”
“Cami was so excellent with my sweet kitty Lucy - incredibly accommodating with my last-minute requests, and so attentive to Lucy’s needs. I returned to a really content cat which is all I could ask for!”
“Cara did a wonderful jobs for us, she came every day for our 2 kitties and sent a picture of them each day along with a few words. They were healthy & happy when we returned and their areas were clean and tidy. I recommend her highly.”
About: I am a college student looking to spend some time with some pets since I grew up having them. I go on walks every day in my free time and would love to have a companion that needs to get outside too! I have had a collection of jobs including working with children, the elderly, young people with disabilities, and of course, pet sitting and dog walking. All of this makes me a responsible and respectful person that is a great fit for taking care of your pet! Currently a college student that can walk in the mornings before class everyday. Primarily I would love to walk or house sit Fridays through Mondays. I am a cat owner now and grew up with a lot of dogs. I am an avid hiker and love long walks. My job growing up was always taking the dogs for long walks until they were tuckered out.

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.
About: I have 6 years of experience in the veterinary field and have been pet sitting for more than 10 years. I am available for walks, quick 30 or 60-minute drops ins and the occasional overnight stay at your home. I am able to give oral and/or injectable medications, feed, provide light grooming, walk and/or run with your pet, and most importantly give them all of the love and affection they need! Im currently unemployed from the corporate world so I have plenty of time to walk/watch your pets. I currently do not have any pets so I am always excited for opportunities to incorporate them into my life. Since I mostly only do walks and check ins, I always make sure that safety of your pet is a top priority. Will always check for details about what leashes to use, where to walk, where to avoid, etc. will never let dogs interact with others unless given the ok from owner. Will always respect strict diets, commands, etc when given the information.
About: I’ve handled dogs and cats all my life and I can say with certainty that I bring comfort peace and joy to all animals I’ve interacted with. I love older dogs and cats as much as younger ones and I don’t mind putting in extra work to those that need my help a little more than others. I have a few classes through the week but I can definitely work around my schedule to ensure your babies get the love and care they need. We can also talk about a set schedule to best accommodate you and your pets. I care for my pets and others by making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I can bring a calming presence to any anxious fur baby and make sure they are happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Osos
Shamarah went above and beyond taking care of our senior German Shorthaired Pointer. She understood his needs and had the patience to give him the extra attention he requires. She made sure he got plenty of walks, kept him active and engaged, and clearly spent quality time with him. And she is a great communicator. We received regular updates, detailed reports, and lots of photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the pictures and updates that Henry was comfortable, well cared for, and enjoying himself. We'd gladly book with Shamarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog sitter.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
