“Makaela took great care of our two dogs and sent daily updates and photos during feeding times and walks so we knew they were doing well while we were gone. We left specific feeding instructions for our picky eater and he seemed to be well fed when we got home. Would definitely engage Makaela if we have future pet sitting needs.”

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 taken care of pets since I was 15. Comfortable with all size dogs, cats and horses. Experienced in some training, medications and care. Very reliable and excellent house guest. I’m currently focusing on just pet sitting and dog walking. The only time I need to be away is if I have a previous dog walking appointment. I come and stay at your home, or drop by, if that is your preference. I’m very conscientious of your pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. I’m also an excellent house guest.

“Annika was so wonderful with our cats while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind to know she was checking in on them and giving them pets/treats/play time. She was timely and sent pictures/updates after her visits. She also respected the needs of our shyer cat, who prefers to keep to himself with new people. Would highly recommend her!”

About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a student on at Cal Poly SLO. I’m in class Monday-Friday. I’m available in the morning and afternoon throughout the week. I’m willing to work with you so we can find the time that works best for both of us! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.

“Monica was great with my cat, Zhu! I was a nervous wreck about using Rover for the first time but after meeting her and seeing how attentive she was with zhu, it made me feel more at ease. She followed all the instructions for him, always responded to my messages and took great pictures for me. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent and more laid-back pets. I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your furry family member with someone else. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work a flexible remote schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve rather than simply being left alone. I have a clean, comfortable home with two friendly cats, and while my yard is not fenced, I’m always happy to take dogs on walks for exercise and enrichment. I take safety seriously and would never leave a pet unattended outside. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, including leash walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Animal Behavior & Welfare working on my thesis in wildlife detection dogs from home. I’ve worked with dogs & cats for 10 years and have trained dogs for 8, including service dogs through a professional nonprofit organization. I have raised countless puppies in this time, so I can certainly help properly socialize your puppy so they can grow up to be the best version of themself. I also compete in dog sports for fun with my dogs, two working line German shepherds and one husky mix. So I’m well equipped to care for dogs that are… “a lot!” I’m on my way to becoming an Applied Animal Behaviorist and have finished all my coursework in behavior with a 4.0 GPA, so when your pets come with me, they’ll benefit from my extensive knowledge on understanding behavior and maximizing welfare. My prices might be a little higher than others, but I promise it will be worth it for the level of care & expertise I provide! I’m home full time as I finish my thesis remotely. The animals I care for come first, whether it be early morning potty breaks or afternoon activities. My schedule is flexible and I have ample time to give your pets the attention they need, while also giving them quiet time to rest in a private space. When pets stay with me, they have their own spare bedroom to sleep in. They can have a crate in there, or stay loose in the room and sleep on the bed. We have a small yard, so I opt to take dogs out 4 times a day to potty in a small park right outside my front door. We can play here too! A lot of dogs like to sunbathe in our yard, including my own. I have three dogs who all have different preferences in their dog friends, so it’s likely your dog will find a best friend here. Or, if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, that’s no problem either. They can hang out with just me! I always use long lines and either harnesses or safely fitted collars to walk dogs, so they can have maximum freedom to express themselves while also staying safe and comfortable.

About: Hello! What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents feel confident knowing their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home when they are with me. Experience: I have always had at least 2-3 dogs. I have done some training with my first dogs and have volunteered at multiple shelters (most time spent taking care of newborn puppies)! I also house-sit for multiple families and friends. I am flexible on time and love all dogs! Excited to take care of your doggies! I am working Thursday- Sunday but can do after 5 on those days. Other than that I am open to anytime. Early morning, easy afternoon, or evenings! I will ask for things your pet needs if there is any special instructions! I will test your pets as if they were mine. I will make sure they gets lots of attention and whatever is asked of the owners!

About: I have tons of animal experience, from chickens to horses and everything in between. Many of my high school years were spent in dog and cat rescue, and I have taken multiple animal science courses in college so I am very comfortable with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm not scared off by or wary of animals that might need more time to warm up. I'm also very active and outdoorsy and am always looking to have an animal join me on my various adventures and outings if that is what they are into. I work with dogs and cats of all sizes, energy levels, and ages, and can give oral medication, injections, or do bladder expression if needed. I am currently on summer break from my college classes and working part-time remotely from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. I’m comfortable playing, feeding, giving medication, crating, or anything else your pet might need. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve.

“Karah was amazing with my sweet Peach! Karah was consistent in coming at the right time, she played with Peach, followed all the directions I asked of her, even cleaned the food bowls, and took pictures everyday for me to see. Just knowing Peach was in good hands made my trip more fun not having to worry about her. If you need a sitter Karah should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!”

About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Los Osos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Los Osos is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 706 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Osos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Osos. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
