“Bri was amazing and able to accommodate a last minute request. She was very attentive and sent me lots of pictures during her time with Teegan. I would recommend her to anyone needing a caring friend for your fur babies:) Thank you!!”
“Erin took wonderful care of our girl Tinky! We came home to a happy and secure girl. Erin is a good communicator, conscientious, and dependable. It is evident that she loves animals. I was able to relax knowing that our crew was safe and taken care of.”
“Dyanna has watched my dog a couple times now and she has been great! She is communicative, sends updates, and is very responsive. I know my dog is well taken care of when I am out of town and love that she enjoys watching him.”
“I came hope to happy critters and a clean house. Gracie didn't even yowl at me when I got home, A sure sign she wasn't missing me too badly! :-) Additionally, Camille filled in almost at the last minute. Highly recommend.”
“Lacey did a great job caring for my cat and dog. She got the dog out for walks daily, rain permitting. My cat warmed up to her nicely. She was a lifesaver letting me go help my brother after surgery. Only negative. She missed trash day, but no problem, I had room for 2 weeks to fit.”
About: Hello my name is Karen, I’m happy to help you with pet care arrangements. I myself have relied on Rover for times I needed to be away. I understand what pet parents may need and understand that sometimes this role needs to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are being cared for. Overall, I always had a pet in the home from childhood to adulthood. Giving me over 25 years of pet care responsibilities. Currently I am a pet parent to a German Shepherd, Dax, and black house cat, Kenny. I am observant of pet body language and in-tune with pet needs. My pets have ranged from outdoor kitties to leash reactive large breeds. I have used oral medicine and topical medicine, and am comfortable with pets post-surgery as well. Being away from your pet is difficult, I’m here to ease that worry for you. Again, I’m happy to help you for brief visits or extended periods. Please feel free to reach out and see if we can work together. 🐾❤️ This service requires trust and dependability, something that I can definitely deliver. My schedule is wide open, unless otherwise stated in the calendar. My homebase is in Santa Maria, but I am willing to travel and service areas as far as Paso Robles, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, and the places between. Including Solvang, Buellton, and Santa Ynez. If you do have questions about something more specific or time frames that are more specific to your needs please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you and make something work. I am cautious and aware, making sure that pets are safe at all times, I like to be preventative and think one step ahead. During walks, I am aware of my surroundings, if you have a specific route you walk I can stick to that route. Communication is key, making sure I am informed of anything that you need me to take note of. I’m always respectful of property and boundaries.
“Paulina is always so communicative with us and great with Apollo. When I come home after a trip, he’s very calm, which is rare when he’s left alone for a while. It’s clear that he has plenty of exercise and feels taken care of with Paulina, and that’s why he’s not frantic when we get back!”
“Killian was great!! He watched Milo got an overnight visit. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Killian to any dog owner. Bonus: He even took Milo on a walk”
About: Growing up on a ranch, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have cared for pets for friends and family over the years.

I treat them like my own and try to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Available evenings and weekends. I’m flexible, reliable, and able to give pets my full attention, while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I can also accommodate last minute bookings when possible. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your pet by sticking to their routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention, while also keeping your home clean and respected. I adjust to each pet’s personality and always keep you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: New to Rover? Use code: waiw96209 for $20 off your first booking with me 🦴 Hey there, I’m excited to be your new pet sitter! 🐾 I’ve sat for cats, dogs, fish and grew up riding horses and tending goats. I’m open to sitting for more types of animals. I worked and volunteered at the Oakland Zoo for 8 years. In 2021, graduated from Cal Poly SLO. I’m an avid daily walker who enjoys volunteering for the Elm St. Dog Park! Both your home and furry friend will be treated with care and respect. I love all animals and treat them as if they were my own best friends. I walk, feed, play, give pets, hugs, and lots of attention! For house sits, I can take in mail, trash bins, etc. I’ll communicate with you often and send photos. You can trust your pup is in safe and caring hands with me. Thanks for sniffing me! 🐾 I’m currently open to taking on new clients so kindly feel free to reach out. My full time and attention is dedicated to your animal. Your dog will sniff and lead the way! Let’s have a meet & greet! Please book at least 3 days in advance to ensure availability. You can provide care instructions or go over things in-person. I respectfully request wifi connection if needed.
About: I love to play with dogs and cats. Grew up with pets in the house and my girlfriend and I are empty nesters at the moment as we've been moving around every 6 months for work otherwise we would have a dog and cat by now! Experienced with all sizes and ages with dogs. I enjoy playing fetch, tug of ware, & running around with dogs. Patient and firm on walks to handle both puppies and older slower dogs. Love to play with cats when they warm up to me but I don't like to push their boundaries. I work full time M-F 7a-3p remotely and can do check ins for feeding & potty during these times. Can provide all services outside those working hours. I have experience with dogs at all stages and all sizes, and will discipline to your standards although I’m more laid back myself on what’s acceptable I have no problem enforcing your law of the land.
About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I am a college student that is home for the summer working and internship! My schedule is somewhat flexible but on my work days they run pretty long. Dog walking in the morning or early afternoon is something that would work with my schedule. Any house sitting needs work during the week, and can be a little different on the weekend but it can still work! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!
“Nate and Kate are fantastic. They stayed at our house for a week and took care of Kaley, our soft coated Wheaten terrier and Kiwi, our parrot. Kaley is getting older and is on meds. Nate and Kate made sure she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Nate and Kate.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
About: I have owned and taken care of pets all my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I have experience with small animals and aquatic pets as well. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I recently graduated from college and am now a full-time teacher. Now that it is summer, my availability has opened up. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. Whether I am dog walking or pet sitting, ensuring trust and pet safety is my number 1 priority. I understand the importance of building trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my presence. For pet sitting, I create a nurturing environment by following the pet's usual routines, providing plenty of affection and attention, and keeping the surroundings clean and comfortable. I adhere to strict safety protocols for dog walking, including using secure leashes, monitoring pet health, and using safe routes. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their beloved pets are in caring and capable hands.
“Jeannette is THE BEST! I was gone for 3 nights and felt at ease and comfortable having her stay at my home with Henry. She sent me pics every day, throughout the day, of their adventures. I’ve had others watch Henry, but Jeannette is BY FAR my number one choice from here on out. Selfishly I don’t want anyone else to hire her so that she can always be available for me (just kidding? Lol).”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, including cats, dogs, bunnies, goats, fish, chickens, ducks, and more. Would love to take care of some animals while making extra money! I’m chronically ill and have not been able to work full time, so taking care of animals is the perfect job to sustain me while I recover. Need to save up for college and mh future as well ❤️ I cannot work due to chronic illnesses, so I’m free 24/7 to sit and take care of fur babies! Would love to help out :) My adopted kitty is monitored all the time and fed with water twice a day. I have just began fostering cats as well, and my current newborn foster gets around the clock care and feeding every 4-6 hours

Tarah made sure I was comfortable with her work schedule before confirming she could stay with my dog Ellie. She sent photos and messages every day to let me know how things were going during her stay. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a house sitter.
Paige did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. We have an adult dog who can be harder to introduce to new people, but Paige took it slow and gave her lot's of space (and treats). Our other dog is a very rambunctious puppy, and Paige also handled her very well. We felt our dogs were really taken care of and we are so happy with how things went. We will definitely be requesting Paige for future trips!
