1. Pam S.
“Pam helped me out in a pinch and provided great quality care to Penelope. You can see she absolutely loves animals and is so thoughtful with them. Would only take Penelope to her whenever I’m in the central coast. Thank you Pam for being so sweet. Penelope loves her new pupaccino toy!”
2. Douglas E.
“Douglas was an exceptional host for our dog, Ziggy. The daily photos and videos gave me great comfort. Knowing that Ziggy was in such good hands, and I could enjoy my trip! Douglas’ experience caring for dogs was very apparent, I could tell Ziggy felt right at home with him from the moment they met. We’re already hoping he’s available for our future dog sitting needs!”
3. Kaden F.
“Kaden is the best. Cocho was so happy with him. Kaden managed Cocho's medication. Kaden took Cocho on excursions. Cocho slept on his bed with him and sat on his lap all the time (and Cocho is nearly 50 pounds). I think my pup wasn't sure if he wanted to stay at Camp Kaden or come home 😅🙂. I would use him again any time I needed a person.”
4. Melissa E.
“Melissa was great! She watched my older dog for a week and sent daily photos and videos of their walks. She handled my dog’s daily meds perfectly. I recommend her highly.”
5. Jocelynn M.
“I got to know Jocelynn N. when she house-sat for us during our vacation. We found her to be extremely reliable, kind, insightful, considerate, and very capable. I will use her again and again if and when she is available. She is a rare type, always knowing what to do to take care of my dogs and my other pets. Because of Jocelyn, I do not have to worry should I need her assistance. Thank you, Jocelyn, just for being so trust-worthy and helpful. I feel lucky to have found you!”
6. Gage P.
“Gage was very nice and did a great job watching Piper. If we are ever in the area and in need of his services we will definitely have him watch our dog again!”
7. Garrison P.
“Garrison was very flexible and took very good care of my dog! She had tons of fun with no issues at all! The updates he provided was awesome for keeping me in the loop. Will definitely book again when I'm in the area!”
8. Victoria H.
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with my golden retriever!! She even got to play with her sweet dog Pearl! She had the best time with her and would definitely recommend to anyone. ❤️”
9. Heather E.
“Heather is AMAZING!!! I hadn't boarded my 9-year old Pomeranian Coco for years, but was looking for someone to board him for a few days in San Luis Obispo as we were coming up from San Diego to be in SLO for my wedding. Unfortunately the wedding venue is a working ranch so could not allow dogs to stay on-site with us, they only allowed Coco to be there the day of for some photos. I went on Rover and searched for a local sitter who would take good care of Coco while we were running around doing wedding activities who also happened to be flexible enough to bring him to the venue for photos on the day of. I interviewed several sitters and Heather stood out - so easy to communicate with, super transparent about her schedule, clearly had taken care of dogs and loves dogs. I was nervous about boarding Coco in a new environment after not doing so for so long, but she put my worries at ease. During Coco's stay, Heather sent photos and updates of her with Coco walking around town and even checking out a restaurant together. It was so cute and sweet! The day of the wedding was hectic, but Heather was so kind and patient coordinating with my wedding planner as to when to drop off Coco for photos at the venue. If you are looking for a great dog sitter or walker in the SLO area, Heather is your person!! I am so incredibly grateful for her, without her our weekend would not have gone so smoothly. Thank you so much Heather!”
10. Bianca F.
“Bianca has cared for our dogs on numerous occasions. Atop having a happy, healthy pup of her own, Bianca has treated all three of our dogs (of various size and temperament) with tenderness, concern, and a confident demeanor. Atop this, our experience with Bianca has signaled to us that she is deeply responsible, reliable, and communicative with pet parents (my wife and I find this to be especially important). Her knowledge of dogs is also a great asset, as she noticed several things about one of our dogs that we had missed. Bianca is brimming with a natural acumen for petsitting, frankly, and its coupled with a knowledge on dogs, specifically. She recently noted that one of our dogs contracted fleas after we took it to the dog park, and she recommended a course of action to treat the issue. Bianca is a uniquely good decision for anyone needing their furry family members taken care of.”
11. Malia J.
“We had a great experience with Malia. We were in San Luis Obispo to see a performance. We were able to easily drop our dog off with Malia before our show and he was all ready to be picked up when we were ready to head home. Malia was cordial and courteous with us. When we picked up our dog, he appeared content and happy. We hope to work Malia again when we are in town. We highly recommend Malia.”
12. Kira ..
“Kira was kind and patient with Astra. She treated her with care and love, as if Astra was her own dog. I would highly recommend Kira for all animal watching needs. Thank you so much!”
13. Anna K.
“Anna was amazing with our 12 year old Maltese who she watched for a long weekend. Appreciated all her pics and updates. Would highly recommend!”
14. Maddie L.
“We are so thankful to Maddie and her dog Rocky taking such fun loving care of our dog June on a last minute reservation. She provided lots of pics and updates and we felt so great knowing she was being well taken care of. Would definitely use her services again!”
15. Miranda S.
“Miranda was so great with Mel. Mel had lots of fun and was able to relax (not an easy task with our dog). Miranda was flexible, kind, and responsive. Highly recommend!”
16. Sean H.
“We really lucked out finding Sean! He took amazing care of our dog and she loved hanging out with his dog camper. Absolutely recommend and hope to be a repeat client!”
17. Anna S.
“Anna did a great job watching my dog at her place over the weekend. I received pictures and overall communication throughout my pet’s stay was good”
18. Nikki S.
“Rowdy and Minnie loved their stay! I loved getting videos and updates! It was nice to see their daily walks and I could tell they really loved staying with Nikki.”
19. Audrey W.
“Audrey would be an incredible rover… I’ve known Audrey for 15+ years and she’s always been one the most responsible, caring, communicative people I know. I’ve also witnessed her be a great parent to her own dog, making sure he is always happy and healthy. She has also watched my own dog, who has severe separation anxiety but feels comfortable around Audrey. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Audrey take care of them.”
