“Stephanie is fantastic! Riley had such a good day. I was a little nervous as we haven't had Riley for very long and so doggy day care is new for us. Stephanie and her pups made for a great day!”


“Colleen was great with Dude and handled his separation anxiety so well. She took him for walks and stayed in contact with us with texts and photos. We will definitely ask her to care for him again!”



“So grateful for Katie and her Husband!! Stayed in Pismo for vacation and needed someone to help watch my dog while eating a restaurant. Contacted her super last minute on easter, and they got back to me so quickly!! They took great care of my dog and would highly recommend them. Literally lifesavers, thank you so much!”


“Family loves the pictures that Natalie sends of our pup's adventures through out the day. Our pup truly enjoys her daycare and her family likes knowing she is having a blast with her friend Flower.”


“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my new puppy. Riley was amazing. Professional, kind and provided lots of photos and updates. I hope Mishka gets to see her again soon!”


About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! I work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible — I can often accommodate daytime, evening, or even last-minute pet care needs. I’m currently available for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I’m happy to care for your dog or cat in their familiar space while you’re away. That said, if you'd prefer your pet stays with me, I do have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

“Absolutely fantastic! Matthew took fabulous care of our pup! We were visiting from out of town and planned a day at the water park that wasn't pet friendly. He accepted right away, asked all the right questions. Just an all around kind person who's great with dogs! 10000% recommend.”


About: ***Please do not request to book less than 72 before dates of service. We require meet & greet with all new clients at least one day before requested booking. Thx*** Family has previous experience working at a doggie day care business, and also have raised dogs in our family in the past. We also have a doggie door for bathroom breaks at your dog’s leisure. Our family is patient, loving, and caring of your furry friend! Our family does have privately owned business and a part-time job. Our family typically has at least one of us at home at all times to keep your dog company. We care for pets as if they are just like a guest in our home. We also like taking them out of the house for walks and car rides. We do have a doggie door for them to go out to our enclosed/fenced patio area. We like spoiling dogs, but will follow any rules they are coming from in order to keep consistency when they return back to you. Please just let us know what is not allowed. We will only show availability for your furry family member(s) on days at least one of us is not working for the full 24hour calendar day. We have a fenced yard enough for two friendly dogs to keep your family member company with us. We can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”


“Kimberley was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our pup! We felt so comfortable leaving Hazel with her for the afternoon. She had a little set up for Hazel as soon as we arrived and took her to the park. We would trust her to care for Hazel anytime!”


“Scout had such an awesome day with Jenny! We were in town to watch a rocket launch and booked Jenny to watch Scout while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and I felt really good about leaving Scout in Jenny's care. She took him for a walk and sent pictures of him in her lap💜. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our little guy!”


“Robyn was an excellent sitter!! Our dog has been having some separation anxiety issues in the past few years, so occasionally she'd stay with a Rover sitter and be anxious the whole time we were gone. But Robyn is extremely kind and loving, and it seemed like our dog had almost no issues staying with her! She was also extremely responsive, and gave us a ton of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. I highly, highly recommend Robyn for dog sitting!! She is a dog whisperer!!”



“Shannon has been wonderful so far. She has taken exceptional care of Macy, is attentive, communicates regularly, and is a true lover of dogs. We will continue to book her. Thanks Shannon!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years—everything from playful puppies to older pets who need a gentler touch. As a student-athlete, I’m active and love long walks, but I’m also super patient and detail-oriented, which helps with things like administering meds or sticking to a training routine. I’ve helped potty train puppies, kept senior pets on schedule with meds, and always treat animals with the same love I’d give my own. I also have flexible availability and a calm, reliable presence that helps pets feel safe and at ease. As a student-athlete, I have a structured routine with free time in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings—ideal for pet care. I stay local for the summer and most breaks, so I’m available even when school’s out. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to spend time with pets as part of my daily routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. In a client’s home, I stick to their routines exactly—whether it’s feeding, walks, crate time, or medication—and make sure pets are always secure and supervised. In my own home, I have a spacious fenced backyard with turf, perfect for safe playtime and potty breaks. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and stay tuned in to each animal’s needs. You’ll always get regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: From a very young age I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as for my family members and friend’s animals. Currently as a college student, I have been hired many times to care overnight for dogs and cats and stay with them for extended periods of time. As a runner and athlete I love walking dogs and taking them for runs too! I am very patient and reliable as I also am a nanny for work who looks after young children. I love animals and spending time getting to know people’s pets! Also, I have my own transportation so any emergencies can be dealt with, and I can also pick up pets. At the moment the family I nanny for will be away for some time, so my schedule is completely open, and my classes are online as well for school. I have a fenced yard in Los Osos, which stays relatively cool in the summer months so it’s a great place for dogs to relax. There are many great hikes and walks near me which I’d love to take your pups on with your permission. For cats and dogs I do not mind them inside the house since there is tile flooring and a little fenced off area for them so they get the whole kitchen to hang out in.

About: Cal Poly business and marketing student providing reliable pet care. Your pets will be treated just like my own! I will make sure your furry friends are in great care!

She gets down on the floor and plays with them. They love to see her coming and hate to see her leave! Most people are nervous to approach them at first but Jordan jumped in like she has known them forever. I highly recommend her!! So do Cash and Whiskey :)”
