About: I’ve had experience with every animal from exotics and reptiles to the more common pet like cats and dogs! I used to train colts but now manage my funny farm. I currently work full time but am available at least two full days a week and 18 hours a day 3 days a week with a flexible schedule! I have a fenced yard as well as an outdoor kennel and miles of open fields to provide ample entertainment for your most adventurous pet! Or we can chill inside with centralized air conditioning.
“Emily did a great job watching our dog and two cats. They seemed happy and healthy when we got back and the house was super clean. We’ll definitely be booking with Emily again in the future!”
“Ashley did an excellent job watching our doggy at our home for the weekend. She was polite and professional during the meet and greet; and our doggy took to her so quickly. She sent us updates, photos, and videos during the days she was at our home. We’d definitely reach out for our next out of town trip.”
About: I am reliable and very responsible with all fur babies! I am confident in CPR for animals, but still working on certification. I have a deep passion for animals, and it translates through the way I interact with them! I am finishing my masters degree in clinical psychology and have lots of time on my hands as I wait for my associate number to work as a therapist! Many services I provide include walking, housesitting, potty training, bathing and other basic needs. I want to keep your fur baby busy throughout the day!!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 12. Before rover, my friend and I would walk our neighborhood’s dogs just for fun! It’s amazing to have the opportunity to help out even more people now with Rover services. I love every kind of animal big and small. As a pet owner myself I understand the unease of strangers so I am more than happy to meet/interview for first timers. Also don’t hesitate to reach out for anything. I want you and your animal to feel completely safe while in my care, because I can truly say it won’t be strictly service but full on love for your animals and I will protect them as if they were my own. Hope to work with you soon! Have a great day. Available in the San Luis obispo County area for your animal’s every need. I work really hard give them the most attention and care that I know can be hard for a lot of full time working pet owners. I make sure my availability is as open as possible to help anyone in need just send me a message at any time and I will respond ASAP. Walks are 1 hour sometimes more and may include a small amount of leash training (I refuse to be heavily pulled around and know plenty of tricks to take control) lots of attention and love is given to the animal to make them feel as safe and cared for as possible. In homes we will play lots of games to keep them occupied and hopefully tuckered out and ready for bed by the time parents get back.

About: Hello! I'm Regan, an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO with a lifelong love for animals. I've grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals. This has made me comfortable with pets of all different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with my personal experience, studying Animal Science has given me a stronger foundation in animal health, behavior, handling, and proper care. I'm extremely comfortable with feeding, walking, following medication instructions, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know that every pet is different, so I make an effort to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than treating every animal the same. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and well-being, and I'm very detail-oriented when following owner instructions to ensure you know your pet is in great hands while you're away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care around my classes, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I spend a lot of my free time around animals already, so incorporating pet care into my day comes naturally to me. I’m also very organized with my schedule and will only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any household rules or preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure before letting pets outside or leaving the home. I understand that being trusted with both someone’s pet and their home is a big responsibility. I’m respectful of each client’s space and will always leave their home just as I found it. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Keikiuiokalani did a great job of taking care of our two Australian Cattle Dogs (not a job for everyone!) over a 4 day weekend. She stayed in our home and sent us photos each day. Keikiuiokalani was easy to work with and left everything in good order. We would use her again.”
About: Hey there! I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and moving. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved while you’re away and I get an adventure buddy. I currently work full time Monday- Friday. I can be there in the mornings and later afternoons/nights. Weekends just if I’m not on backpacking or scuba diving I’m available. I cannot keep animals at my house per the rental restrictions. But I am more than happy to housesit/ pop in a couple times a day. Just let me know your preferences.
About: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.
About: I haven't taken care of dogs, but I do and have had plenty of my own. So I have been relied on to feed, bathe, and take care if them while my parents are busy or have some where to go. I am currently on summer break, while taking a college course and going back and forth from my school and home for JROTC activities and meetings that I have. Sometimes I'll accompany my parents at work but since it's summer break I'll have lots of spare time to walk and play with your pets!! I get along with dogs pretty well and enjoy playing with them and walking them around a while. I do have two other dogs at home but they are very nice and friendly!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Miguel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Miguel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Miguel choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
