“Tara and her family took excellent care of our dog Gabby while we were away. Lots of walks, cuddles and extra attention. We also received daily updates and photos. We would absolutely book with them again.”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around animals. From rescuing and taking in strays with my mom to taking care of our 6 crazy doggos, animals hold a big place in my heart. Now, I try to spend my time filling the void while I am away from home, and hope to make and meet as many furry friends as I can. I am well experienced in animal care with large and small pets, and have past experiences in dog obedience. I love to hike and take the scenic routes, and I never run out of energy! I can’t wait to meet you and more importantly your pup! I’m currently in school, but my schedule is very manageable and easy to work around. I have ample amounts of free time during mornings. As well as evenings, on select days, right after your pups dinner time and just before sunsets! Now believe me when I say this, I know how much your pet means to you. They are not just our pets, they are our family. And I know just how scary it can be to trust others with your pet. But with that in mind, know that when your pet is with me, I treat them like they are my own. By providing endless love and protection, your pet is always in safe hands.
“Katie was an amazing pet sitter for Gracie, our four-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. She kept in touch with us about how Gracie was doing and even sent pictures with her taking Gracie on a walk at the beach! I will definitely call on Katie again next time we are in town. Thank you, Katie!”
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.
“Cara was great with Karma and I would not hesitate at all using her services again. She sent me updates with photos on a regular basis, letting me know Karma was doing great and enjoying her new environment. Thank you so much; would highly recommend this kind and caring sitter.”
About: I have experience as a dog walker for dogs up to 180 lbs, as well as dog/house sitting for friends. I also volunteer at Woods Humane Society and am very comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I work full time in Arroyo Grande, so I am mostly available early mornings and on weeknights and weekends. If I’m watching a dog nearby, I’m happy to walk them during my lunch break. In clients’ homes, I will be sure to follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, safety, and cleanliness. I will keep open communication with the owners.
“Jennifer & Julie took excellent care of Zoey. She had a great time at their place, so much so that she didn’t seem that excited to see us! They updated us regularly on how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Zoey will be visiting again soon.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our first experience using Rover, and it’s all thanks to our incredible sitter, Cami! As first-time users, we were a little nervous leaving our 7-month-old miniature dachshund, but from the very beginning, Cami made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent—frequent updates and adorable photos enabled us to enjoy our time away from the lil ween without worrying about him. It was obvious that Cami genuinely cared for him and understood the quirks of a young, energetic dachshund. She was patient, attentive, and provided a safe and fun environment for him to explore, play, and nap like a champ. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly exceptional with dogs—especially pups with high energy—look no further. We will book again and feel so lucky to have found Cami, whom we can trust completely with our fur baby! Highly, highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Thank you Sarah. We had a last minute hick up with our hotel in Avila Beach and Sarah came to the rescue. Last minute, replied immediately, took a dog overnight!!! Wonderful and grateful beyond words!! Thank you again Sarah!”

“Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful with Cooper! They were so friendly and sweet with my boy, followed all of his care instructions, and made sure he got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I could tell from how happy and relaxed Cooper was that he had a great time. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind and caring family to look after him. I would absolutely rebook them!”
“They were very kind and accommodating to my dogs needs and last minute booking arrangements, their two dogs were well behaved and helped my fur baby feel right at home in their family! I highly recommend any others who need a dog sitter to consider leaving your dog in good hands with this lovely couple!”
“Miles had a great 4 day visit with Niccola. If he could talk, I bet he would tell me about all the fun he had with her baby girl! It's a comfort to leave Miles with her, knowing he is treated like part of the family and well taken care of.”

I really appreciate Hao and would highly recommend him!”
“Tori was caring, capable and the dogs seemed very cared for. She followed all their directions for care. Her place has lots of dirt but they were very clean when we returned . She was very flexible with my dates. I would book again.”
“This was a last minute request when we came into town for a wedding. Met and made introductions the day of the request and booked for the following night. Throughout, Kara was quick with communications and made our two dogs feel right at home. The relaxed atmosphere of Kara's home put our dogs at ease. Next time we're in the area, no question we'll reach out to Kara for boarding.”

I cannot recommend Jenna enough! She was AMAZING and it was evident that she loved and cared for our dog as though he was her own. This was so comforting to us. Our trip was due to a family health emergency, so this was a same day booking with an extremely late drop off, and Jenna was beyond kind to accommodate us. She was so kind and accommodating even when our dog was being difficult immediately after drop off. We felt so reassured and comfortable for the entire duration of the trip, which allowed us to give our full attention to our family. As long as she’s available, I will ONLY use Jenna for the boarding of our dog during our future trips to the area. Thank you again Jenna, you have no idea how much we appreciate you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Morro Bay is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Morro Bay. 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.
97% of sitters in Morro Bay 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 Morro Bay home-away-from-home, 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 Morro Bay.
Tip: 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 Morro Bay 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 , 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 .
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.
