“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.”


“Katie was an absolute lifesaver taking care of my dog while I was attending an event. My dog settled in immediately and seemed excited from the point she walked through the door, and almost didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. Katie was responsive and sent me pictures through the night and it was all around amazing!”

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: As someone who has had a passion and love for animals since I was a child. I can assure that your beloved pets are in great hands! I have a bachelors degree in animal science and have worked with dogs and cats as a veterinary technician for two and a half years. If your pet requires any type of veterinary medical care (meds, fluids, bandaging, etc) You can count on me to help when they are in my care. I have grown up with cats and dogs all of my life, and also have experience with horses and exotic animals. Your animals will be loved and cared for as if they were my very own, and I look forward to walking and sitting your furry friends! I took a hiatus from Rover due to being busy with other jobs, but I used to work part time doing pet care down in SoCal for a friend who ran her own pet sitting business, and I would like to continue that care here on the central coast! The pets safety and wellbeing comes first! Always making sure they are in a secure safe area, whether inside the home or in the yard, always checking for fresh water and making sure they are fed on time, playing with them and giving them the care they deserve!

“Emelie was very responsive, attentive and kept us up to date on how things were going with our pup Louie. He was a bit stressed being to be dropped off after a few days of car travel, but Emelie took him on a nice long walk to settle him down. Great location and safe spot in the middle of SLO. Thanks Emelie!”


About: I love animals and I've taken care of family, friends, and neighbour's pets since I was 10! I have experience with lots of animals but especially with puppies and very large dogs (my own dog is 150 lbs!!) I’m taking a few Cuesta classes online so I can bring my laptop and do them anywhere! I can do boarding all weekends and I can do home-sitting anytime and come check in 3-4 times a day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep yours company! I love to walk my dogs and always make sure they get enough play time everyday!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 7 years, I’ve been volunteering at shelters for about 2 years working with reactive dogs and helping with rehabilitation. I take rescue dogs on long hikes and love to be outside and I’m familiar with lots of different breeds and training techniques I will be home all summer and would love to create a great getaway for your pup while you are on vacation or need a break! I have a fenced yard, and empty house or one other adult with a cozy bed to sleep in and a quiet neighborhood. Pups will get all the love and cuddles!
“Rachel replied immediately. She was welcoming. We had a meet & greet with her and Gus, and Levi and I were very impressed :) Her dog Gus is just a cutie pie and loves to play, so he kept my little guy very busy. Levi came home happy and tired! Yes! I hope we can plan another petsitting date soon. Thank you for everything Rachel. I loved the photos you sent me - especially the one with your little girl and Levi.”

“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!”

“Dropped off Flower for a short visit today before I board him with Andrew. I had previously met with Andrew so that Flower could meet him and Flower was very happy to see him. When I picked up my little dog, he seemed very content and peaceful sitting in his little bed. It made me very happy to see that my dog was happy and apparently had a good visit! I feel great about leaving flower with Andrew for the upcoming weekend after this wonderful experience.”

About: hi there!! my love for animals is unmatched and i hope to share some love to as many animals as i can! i just retired as a d1 college gymnast and i graduate from san jose state university in the fall of 2026, so i have much more time on my hands now that i am done with gymnastics. i’ve grown up with only cats, but i have helped with dog sitting for family members and my friends many times! The most important thing to me is communication and you can trust me when I say that if I am confused or have a question or need any clarification, I will ask. Keeping your pets the safest and most comfortable as possible is #1 . I look forward to hopefully meeting your pet and creating a fun and strong bond with them! thanks so much I’m in the gymnastics team at SJSU and we just finished season so our schedule is quiet clear then it used to be! Weekends are better for overnight care, and I can wake up however early and stay up however late that is needed for the owner! Right now, anytime after 5:30 during the week is best. I care for pets by showing them attention, feeding them and giving them the everyday needs, playing with them outside, teaching more tricks, and loving them as if they’re my own!
“Joan was great and very patient with Leilani, who is nervous around new people and other pets. We appreciated her care and understanding in assisting Leilani to feel comfortable in a new environment. Would highly recommend Joan to others.”

“Truly excellent for our high energy dogs who love people and other dogs. They got lots of activity, lots of attention and most of all plenty of love while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

“We relocate often for work and it's always stressful trying to establish reliable and trustworthy pet care in a new community. I was immediately comfortable with Allie and Wallace walked away with her without hesitation. When I picked him up, his tail was wagging, he seemed calm and content. I've already re-booked!”

“Marla was a wonderful sitter for my doggy. She has a great home with a big yard. She was very communicative all day and sent pictures to help me see how she was doing. My dog is used to only being in her own home, so it was nice to see she could do okay in other surroundings. Marla has a kind and gentle spirit and offers a loving environment for your pet!”
