Natalie did a great job with our two little dogs. Her little girl seemed so excited to have them as quests. I was worry our one dog that gets separation anxiety would be a wreck when we got back, but to our surprise she seemed happy and fine. Our other dog who is very friendly was all smiles when he came back. She will do a great job with your pups.

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!

Oli always has the best time with Katie! They go out on adventures to the park and to the beach, 2 to 3 walks a day, and they also snuggle on the couch. At the end of the day we have a happy and relaxed dog, as well as lots of pictures and a summary of all the fun they had. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our Oli receives from Katie!

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!

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!

About: I’ve had animals most of my life and love taking care of all the doggies! I have particular experience with dogs who have leash aggression. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walking, pets, and play whenever your pup needs! I live in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood that’s great for walks! I’m happy to crate your pet if needed, but otherwise keep my space super clean and safe for any pets.

Karol was the BEST! I drove down from the SF Bay Area and needed a last minute sitter in SLO while I visited my job. Karol was responsive and SO helpful. She watched Koco for a couple hours so I could check in at work and go shopping for a camping trip in Arroyo Grande. After the 3+ hour road trip down, Koco was understandably under-stimulated with a lot of pent-up energy. I dropped him off anxious and hyper and picked him up relaxed and happily walked. I would highly recommend Karol for all your dog-sitting needs (and Koco would too!)

Joan is the kindest, nicest person you could hope to have watch your dog. She watched over our pandemic pup on his first time away from us while we hiked and canoed around Morro bay. She did such a great job that we even sent our dog back the next day. She was patient with him, despite the barking and who knows what else :).

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: I’ve spent the last 5 years caring for other people’s pets, and honestly, it’s the best. I can’t have one of my own right now, so getting to love and spoil yours is something I take seriously. I’m attentive, reliable, and great at matching a pet’s vibe! Whether that’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, we are having a great time. I’m a freelancer who works from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, no long stretches of being left alone. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine, whether that’s weekdays, weekends, or longer stays. I treat every pet like a temporary housemate, not just a responsibility. I follow routines closely, keep environments calm and secure, and pay attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and a low-stress experience—so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

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!

It was so helpful to have Chintan watch my ridgeback, Quinn, on Christmas Eve and Day. And Quinn was able to play with Chintan's dog. I recommend considering Chintan for your dog's doggy-care. I'll certainly be going back.
