“Cloe is awesome! We came to SLO for our son’s graduation, and she watched our dog Mila for two days and even watched my sister’s dog too! The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I highly recommend her.”


“Absolutely amazing, beautiful personality, dog and house. I feel completely safe leaving my dog with her. She is the best dog sitter I’ve found here in San Luis Obispo. Thank you Kate!!!”

About: As a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations—from administering medications to recognizing early signs of illness—so your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I have experience working with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who require patience, gentle handling, and close attention to their comfort and health. I’m confident with basic training reinforcement, leash manners, and helping maintain routines that keep pets feeling secure. Beyond that, I truly take the time to connect with each animal’s personality. Whether your pet needs playtime and exercise, calm companionship, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I adapt to what makes them happiest. My goal is always to provide a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for like they’re my own. I am in college and have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to my days, I’m usually at home studying or with my horses and am lucky enough to have property at my house I love to play, love on animals, or let them do their own thing, if your dog loves to walk I’ll walk for hours if needed, I just want to do what will make them happy!
“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!”

“Tamy was wonderful with my dog, Churro! She cared for her for about 5 hours while I was visiting San Luis Obispo and attending a football game with my freshman son. Tammy was friendly and made me feel completely at ease leaving Churro in her care. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed — a sure sign she was well cared for. I’d definitely use Tamy again next time I’m in the area!”

“Karol was very flexible with our schedule which is very appropriated. Pups were looked after very well. Also appropriate the photos. It was our first time leaving them with strangers. But had to be done. Thank u Karol for watching over our babies.”

“Sandra is the ideal pet sitter! She’s friendly, easygoing, and experienced. I could tell right away that Maple felt comfortable with her, which was very reassuring. We got several pictures, and communication was excellent. Lucky for us that Sandra was available to take care of Maple on short notice. We would book her services again in a heartbeat!”


“Kara was outstanding and accepted my last minute request for day care. My pup seemed to really enjoy her time there! She must have been playing all day because she was completely wiped when we got home, that’s how I know she had a good time though!”

“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”


“Shannon is an amazing dog sitter. She instantly loves your dog like they are her own. Her environment is welcoming and pet-friendly and set up so that your dog feels right at home! I brought my 2 mini golden doodles to Shannon for the week and they bonded right away - with her and her dog family! It was comforting to know they were well loved and cared for all day, with dog buddies, walks in the afternoon, cuddles, and had a great yard to run around! I highly recommend Shannon! She is trustworthy and kind, and a great person all around.”


“Tami took my pup's anxiety in stride and she clearly won him over quickly. He was snuggling up to her and clearly had a great day. Thanks for taking care of our puppy for the day so we could take a tour of Hearst Castle!”

About: I have taken care of several dogs through friends and family and they've recommended I should join Rover. I have looked after a labradoodle, a pair of nervous chihuahuas, and several energetic young pitbulls. I currently do not work so my schedule is flexible for your needs. I am available on most days 7 days a week. I tend to walk in the mornings around the Morro Bay area and I do most art projects at home. I have a fenced yard with a sand garden in the backyard. The neighborhood is quiet and dog friendly. I do provide fresh water from bottled sources. Please provide accommodations for your pet if they're to stay at my place overnight. Pet care fits seamlessly into my work-from-home routine, providing anxiety-sensitive dogs with consistent companionship and comfort. My flexible schedule allows me ample time for playtime and dedicated attention, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for every furry friend in my care. I have a fenced yard and an open home, but my space is best suited for smaller to medium-sized dogs. I'm happy to provide walks on nearby trails for more active dogs.
About: Loving Care in a Spacious Home — Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place! 🐾 Hi there! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will get all the focus and care they deserve. My home is spacious with a large yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies! Plus, we’re just a short walk from the local dog park for extra social fun and exercise. Whether your dog loves cuddles, long walks, or lounging in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. You can count on a calm, safe, and happy environment — where every tail wag is welcomed and every pup is family. ❤️ I work from home so I will give them constant attention and supervision throughout the day and the kids will make sure they get their energy out at night! I have a large yard to run around and play! No pets in the home for a more intimate experience and 4 happy kids to entertain them!
About: Hello. My name is Tess and I absolutely adore all animals! I grew up on a farm surrounded with animals of all types. Growing up I’ve had dogs of many breeds such as Briard, Golden Retriever, Labrador, Akita, Chow Chow, etc. Sadly I’m unable to have some of my own at this time so I would love to help you take care of your four legged friends. I only work on certain months out of the year so I am available to take care of your babies at all hours of the day and any day of the week. I’m very comfortable with all breeds of dogs or cats- big or small I love them all. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your babies!

Paige is amazing! She came through last minute when my other sitter had to cancel for a family emergency. She was extremely communicative and kept me updated on my dog’s status with photos and videos. She learned I was allergic to cats and vacuumed my dog’s bed before we picked him back up and even lint rolled him for me! LOL. She’s a gem!

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!

Rylie was the best! She watched my dog for about 8 hours while I attended a graduation ceremony at CAL Poly SLO from out of town. I came back to a happy, hydrated, well exercised doggy! She sent a picture of my pup while they were out hiking and provided regular updates during the visit. I would highly recommend Rylie for your daysitting needs and so would Koconut!
