“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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’ve spent a lot of time around animals and genuinely love getting to know them as individuals. I’m very observant of their behavior and tend to pick up on the little things… when they’re comfortable, when something feels off, or when they just need some space. I’ve cared for everything from a pack of 8 dogs to senior and more delicate pets who needed extra attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters in areas with large stray populations, so I’m comfortable with animals who may be nervous, cautious, or take a little time to trust someone. I’m comfortable with medications, special food preparation, sensitive diets, and whatever routines help an animal feel secure and at home. I’m also happy to care for animals who need a little more patience or one-on-one attention. I take caring for someone’s pet seriously. I know they’re family, and I want both you and your animals to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Looking forward to making your life a little easier however I can. 🫶🏻 My work is part-time and flexible, so dog walking fits easily into my week. I'm usually available weekday mornings and afternoons, plus most weekends. I'm happy to set up a regular walk schedule or fill in last minute when your plans change. I'll always show up on time and send a quick update and photo after every walk, so you know exactly how your pup's day went. Your dog's safety comes first on every walk. I use a secure leash, check harnesses and collars before heading out, and stick to routes that suit your dog's energy, age and comfort level. I always carry water and poop bags, watch for hot pavement and other dogs, and follow your instructions on feeding, treats and house rules. I treat your home with respect and make sure every door and gate is locked when I leave. I have my own Cocker Spaniel, Gwennie, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to hand over your best friend. Years in high-end restaurants taught me reliability, attention to detail and calm under pressure, and I bring all of that to caring for your pup.
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.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat so animals and animal care have been my whole life! I also have experience with cows and other ranch animals as my family has a few different ranches. I truly adore all animals and think they deserve so much love! I’m currently working as a nanny, along with being a college student. I am more available on weekends, but if your animal doesn’t need 24/7 in-home care, I am available to stay on weekdays as well! I will not be caring for animals in my home because I live in an apartment, but I am comfortable with any care situation in my clients homes! Whether they like to roam free, or prefer to be in the crate, I am ready to do what’s best for your animals.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have always been a big dog lover of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I frequently pet-sit for my friends and family, including exuberant young puppies, gentle older dogs, cautious reactive dogs, and anything in between. I love to play with and walk dogs at their own pace and preference, and am happy to help support and reinforce your training plans and pet rules. I have been an elementary teacher for just over a decade and am taking some time off, so my schedule is very flexible, and I would love to fill it with helping care for dogs in our community! I know it can be hard to leave pets at home for work or social events, but rest assured that with me your pet is in loving and safe hands so you can work, play, and enjoy life without worrying about your furry friend. After teaching for over a decade, I am taking some time off and would love to fill it with caring for pets to help others in my community! I have a very flexible schedule and am available to visit, walk, and care for pets on weekdays between 8 and 6. I can also be available on weekends with prior arrangement. I grew up with dogs and pet-sit often for my friends and family. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. I am also a close driving distance to many parks, including the Laguna Lake dog park. I am happy to drive within the Central Coast area to visit, play with, and walk your beloved pup as well!
“Taylor is a must have for a sitter. Her communication is great and her skills with my new puppy are even better. They got song great she sent me pictures and looked like they had a great time. Taylor is a must to book and I'll be doing more so with her. Thanks !”
About: I have had a dog since I was 8, but I have always been surrounded by various animals. I have taken care of not only my own dog but also those belonging to my family and neighbors, gaining valuable experience in the process. I attended all of my dog's puppy training classes and learned from the trainer how to teach her numerous tricks. Additionally, I have assisted my friends in training their puppies to acquire essential skills and even taught them a few tricks, such as rolling over. Moreover, I volunteered at Animal Assisted Happiness, where I provided care for a variety of animals, including bunnies, goats, chickens, horses, and more. I currently work part-time, which allows me some flexibility to take care of your dogs. My availability includes all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but it may vary from week to week, but I am usually able to accommodate your needs. Feel free to send me a message, and we can work out the details! I enjoy playing with dogs and teaching them new tricks! Taking walks is a favorite activity of mine, and I'll ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time and opportunities to explore with long sniffs during our walks. Keeping their hydration in mind, I always make sure the water bowl is filled. Additionally, I prioritize their comfort by providing timely potty breaks and opportunities to go outside as needed.
About: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.
“I was very comfortable leaving my dogs in Darians care. He had a meet n greet with me n then prior, which helped any worry factor! He clearly loves dogs and is good with them. This was a drop in visit, but he went thru all the motions and sent a report and pics. I would definitely use him again !!”
“Brittany was outstanding, there everyday like she said she would. Took great care of my cats and even helped out with the chickens!! It was comforting to get her Rover cards and see her on my Ring camera. I knew my cats were well cared for so I could enjoy my vacation.”
“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 grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and goats, so I've got a lifetime of experience with all kinds of furry friends. Professionally, I've worked at a couple different dog boarding/daycare/training places before switching to a job that was more fitting to what I went to school for. I’m comfortable with various types of pets in terms of breed, age, temperament, and lifestyle (up-keeping training, giving meds, disabilities, etc). I'm currently working full time but am free most mornings in the week for walks or playtime. I'm free most weekends for overnight pet sitting and am open to extended at homesitting as well. Despite working most of the week, I'm pretty flexible and open to working around different schedules in order to meet the needs of your pets as well as meet the needs of the owner. I'm down to run, play, walk, clean, cuddle, groom, escort, chauffeur or even just chill with your animals, whatever they need. :) If I'm staying in their home, my goals is to maintain their routine, whether that's specific feeding/medication times or upkeeping current training commands. I've taken care of dogs of almost all ages and activity levels so I can adapt to most needs that your pup may have.
About: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.

I can’t say enough good things about Monica! She did an outstanding job caring for our senior kitty, Sofie, as well as watering our plants, etc. Sofie requires medication, as well as TLC for her arthritis. I could tell when we returned that she had been very well cared for. Monica went beyond our expectations, and we look forward to having her take care of Sofie again.
My cats LOVE Auntie Zarah, and we do too!! ❤️🐾 She always sends the sweetest updates and photos, making our time away so much more enjoyable and relaxing. There’s nothing better than knowing our boys are so loved, spoiled, and well cared for while we’re gone. We’re so grateful for her! 💕
Melissa was awesome! She checked on and kept good care of our dog Beau while my wife and I were gone for work. Our dog had an accident on the bed and she even helped put the bedsheets in the washer/dryer for us! She was so helpful and I will definitely recommend others to request her dog sitting services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Morro Bay is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $59 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 690 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Morro Bay. 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 Morro Bay. 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.
