Pet Sitting in Nipomo

About: I want your dog to feel part of my family. I spoil dogs rotten. Puppies to senior dogs. Positive reinforcement. Anxious dogs welcome. Will always have my undivided attention. IF ANYONE PREFERS TO HAVE ME WATCH THEIR DOGS "SOLO" I CAN DO THAT TOO. I recently retired. Unfortunately, my dog of 12 years passed this last March. I miss her dearly but I am not ready to have another dog full time. I am hoping I can share the love I have for dogs by pet-sitting, caring for your precious pet while you are out. I know how much pet-sitters helped me when I need pet-sitting for my dog and I want to return the favor. I prefer to care for your pet at my home; however, all situations are different and I would not be opposed to watching your pet at your own home. I would like to add, if you'd prefer I watch your dog alone, with no other dogs present, we can definitely have that conversation, as well. I trust me - I get it. I DO HAVE AN INGROUND POOL. AGAIN, DOGS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I'LL KEEP THEM SAFE FROM THE POOL AS WELL.

“Haley did a great job! She was diligent following our instructions and made sure our cat was happy and comfortable while we were gone. Appreciated her pictures and sticking with the agreed timetables. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always watched dogs for all my friends and family! I love having dogs around as it’s never a dull moment in the house! I currently work remote so I am always home and and ready to care for your fur babies! I currently work remote so I am home all day. My work schedule is 8am-5:30pm and I exercise by walking the riverbed by my house so it’s perfect for me and the pups! I have a fenced yard and a twelve year old beagle mix who loves to meet new friends! When I dog sit for friends or family, I set up a spot for them in my room and my pup in a separate room so they can have their space. I’m not a huge fan of leaving pups in the garage (unless requested) so they will always have a spot with me I their own bed!

About: I have had experience with a wide range of animals—not just dogs! I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years, caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs☺️. I’ve also taken care of chickens, hamsters, and even fish, so I’m confident and comfortable with all kinds of routines and needs. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, medication, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I treat every animal like they’re my own.❤️ I’m currently working on my General Education classes so I can be available for your pets whenever 🥰 (it gives me a very flexible schedule) . I love having animals around during study breaks! It keeps my energy up and makes my day better. Since I’m already used to watching my family’s and friends’ pets regularly, it’s something that naturally fits into my life and brings me joy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether it is high-energy pups who love to play to shy or older animals who need a calm and gentle approach. If I am staying at a clients home , I always respect their space, keep things clean , and send photos and updates so you can see your animal!

About: I have been a pet care giver for 24 dogs, 6 cats, some fish and farm animals. I have always grown up around many animals wether its little dogs, big dogs, cats, pigs, goats and bunnies! I absolutely love all animals, especially the big ones. I have done pet sitting, walking and administering medication for 5 years for animals other than my own. I work part-time, a few hours 3 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of availability for your furry friends. The day's I work I am home by 1-2pm and I have the weekends off to spend time with your animals. I have a fenced in acre for your pets to roam and enjoy. There is lots of turf, dirt and shade for our furry friends to run, play and rest. I have a friendly 3 year old golden doodle who loves to play and keep other furry friends company. I have a spacious and cozy room for overnight stayers and can crate if needed.

About: I have been actively caring for animals since 2020 and have found such great fulfillment through it. Your furry friend's needs come first and I always make sure everyone feels secure and happy in every visit 🥰 I am able to do overnights any day of the week. My schedule is always flexible and I will always find a way to make sure your needs are being met! For drop in visits and walks, I have more flexibility on weekends. On Mondays-Fridays, I am able to do visits after 4:30pm. With any new animal, I start off slow and let them have the opportunity to sniff or be near me without feeling pressured. I analyze the animal's behavior and pick up any cues on how they're feeling before proceeding. Building trust is very important to me and I like to build connections with the animals!

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter based in Atascadero. For the past three years, I have cared for a household with five small dogs and two cats, providing them with feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of love. I am confident in handling multiple pets and adapting to their different routines and temperaments. During the day, I work in behavioral therapy, which helps me develop a calm, patient, and detail-oriented approach—skills that are essential for giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I am available most evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to travel between Paso Robles and Nipomo. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or daily walks, I’m here to help. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I would love to meet your furry family members and become your go-to pet sitter! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I communicate clearly with pet parents throughout the stay. I’m also mindful of safety during walks and visits—no off-leash time unless requested, and I double-check doors, gates, and feeding routines to keep everyone secure.

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for 15 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

“Tara is very careful to give her best to our cat.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for them. I helped raise two family dogs growing up, and now I walk my mom’s dog and my mother-in-law’s dogs every morning. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs different breeds, sizes, and energy levels and I’m confident handling everything from high-energy walks to calm cuddle time. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs exercise, attention, or a little extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care. I’m free all day Monday and Tuesday, early mornings every day, and evenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether I’m in their home or mine. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or downtime, and I take time to earn their trust through patience and positive interaction. I’m also attentive to their environment, making sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty areas are clean, and their emotional needs are met through companionship and enrichment. I believe pets thrive when they’re not just cared for, but genuinely connected with.

About: I currently take care of my senior catahoula mix, who is my whole world, as well as friends and families pets when they go out of town. I was a rover pet sitter for years and have recently started up again. I love animals and especially animal cuddles and kisses.

I have a routine workweek, Mon through Fri 8-5, I am flexible about your pets needs if you would like me to come before 8 as well as after 5. I pride myself on being a responsible person, as a homeowner and dog mom I understand how I would like my own home and animals to be treated and extend that upon you. Establish your expectations and I will meet them.

About: Ive been taking care of pets since I was a teenager. I have raised and cared for dogs ( puppy to adult). While I do not have experience in caring for senior pets, I’m more than willing to learn and provide them with the best care possible! As a current college student, I am available to walk your pets on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends. I can be available at any time between 6am and 5:30pm! Fresh water is always available, and I monitor the pet’s food intake to ensure they’re eating as expected. I keep an eye on the pet’s behavior and physical condition to notice any signs of distress or illness early. Depending on the pet’s age, breed, and energy level, I provide regular exercise through walks, play sessions, or interactive toys.

“Lindsay is fast, flexible, reliable, responsible and a kind and caring pet sitter. I am so glad I found her. If I had to give her a grade it would be A+”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and have had a senior dog and two senior cats which required medication, laser treatments, enemas, and specialized diets. I am available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. I am available to drop in for bathroom breaks, play dates and dog walks. I have a fenced in backyard which is secure and large enough to play in. The area surrounding the mobile home park is perfect for dog walks and Presker Park is close by for walks also.

“Lori was amazing with my puppy, Milo for an hour check-in. She accepted my last minute request. Lori provided me with updates throughout her check-in and provided good, loving care. She was also very responsive and timely in her responses. Would recommend Lori to anyone.”

About: I housesit for multiple family friends with animals! I enjoy spending time just lounging around and keeping them company! Walking or playing with dogs is the best because it gets their energy out and sometimes even just lounging around with them is best! I work as a teacher during the school year so I can do early mornings and evenings! During the summer I am much more open and love spending time just having a chill day with animals! I won’t be bringing animals to my personal house but I know pet friendly places to walk animals to play with. I have animals myself and they are super sweet but older and territorial with their personal space.

About: I own and take care of animals including horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. People in my family and outside of my family have trusted me with their animals. Being with animals makes me happy and keeping them healthy and safe is my priority. I’ve also worked at a dog kennel for 2 1/2 years and am a very trusted employee there. I have dealt with all kind of dog temperaments and behaviors and I am very excited to get to know your fur baby!🐾 I am will be starting school at Cal Poly in the fall studying animal science. I do have a job at a dog kennel but have long enough breaks to be able to check on the dogs and I work about 3-4 days a week. I ensure all the animals have the proper amount of food everyday, along with making sure they have enough water. If there is no doggy door I let the animals out as frequently as needed. I always make sure they have lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles.
