About: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.

“Great job by Brittany! It was comforting and a pleasure having her stop in to check on our pets. We'll definitely book her again should the need arise.”

Patrick E.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have always been a big dog lover of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I frequently pet-sit for my friends and family, including exuberant young puppies, gentle older dogs, cautious reactive dogs, and anything in between. I love to play with and walk dogs at their own pace and preference, and am happy to help support and reinforce your training plans and pet rules. I have been an elementary teacher for just over a decade and am taking some time off, so my schedule is very flexible, and I would love to fill it with helping care for dogs in our community! I know it can be hard to leave pets at home for work or social events, but rest assured that with me your pet is in loving and safe hands so you can work, play, and enjoy life without worrying about your furry friend. After teaching for over a decade, I am taking some time off and would love to fill it with caring for pets to help others in my community! I have a very flexible schedule and am available to visit, walk, and care for pets on weekdays between 8 and 6. I can also be available on weekends with prior arrangement. I grew up with dogs and pet-sit often for my friends and family. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. I am also a close driving distance to many parks, including the Laguna Lake dog park. I am happy to drive within the Central Coast area to visit, play with, and walk your beloved pup as well!

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.

About: I have had tons of animals all my life. Horses, dogs, cats, bunny’s etc. I have also watched a lot of my friends animals and pets. I’m am free most days durning the week to walk or do drop ins in between my classes! on the weekends I can come over and stay the night and my schedule is super flexible. I can walk, clean, play, and love on all your animals! give them all the attention they need and make sure that they are comfortable and happy.

About: ​Lifelong pet lover and pet mom offering fun walks, playful energy, and a safe environment. I’ll treat your furry family member just like my own! Working part-time for the school district leaves my afternoons and weekends wide open and completely dedicated to feeding, walking, chilling and playing with your pets. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. Safety means constant supervision, secure environments, and clear communication. I strictly follow your house rules and pet routines to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.

“Kristin was great with our two monsters. She had no issue playing with and walking with over 250lbs of pup. She was super responsive and sent us great pictures as well as keeping us updated on how the pups were doing. Thank again!”

About: Hello! What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents feel confident knowing their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home when they are with me. Experience: I have always had at least 2-3 dogs. I have done some training with my first dogs and have volunteered at multiple shelters (most time spent taking care of newborn puppies)! I also house-sit for multiple families and friends. I am flexible on time and love all dogs! Excited to take care of your doggies! I am working Thursday- Sunday but can do after 5 on those days. Other than that I am open to anytime. Early morning, easy afternoon, or evenings! I will ask for things your pet needs if there is any special instructions! I will test your pets as if they were mine. I will make sure they gets lots of attention and whatever is asked of the owners!

“Sierra took great care of my pups while I was on field assignment - they were happy to have someone during the long days and I got great updates during the day!”

“Maria is always my first pick for cat sitting! She’s checked on our babies while we’ve been come for a week multiple times and is super reliable and communicative.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Jolie. I'm originally from the Bay Area, and I'm currently a senior at Cal Poly SLO. A little bit about my experience—I grew up with 4 dogs (2 Shiba Inus, a Malti-poo, and a German shepherd!) and my family and I also have two cats (a Scottish fold and a Tabby). I absolutely love animals, and I have experience dog sitting at clients' homes as well as providing dog walking services. I also help babysit my neighbor's cat when they are away! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me :) I'm pretty much free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! As for the week: - Mondays & Wednesday: Anytime after 7pm - Tuesday & Thursday: Anytime after 2:30pm - Friday: Anytime after 1pm Whether in my home or the client's home, safety is always important. Part of this is understanding the type of animal and age and understanding how these factors play into behavioral aspects. For example, if there is a younger pet, make sure there is nothing dangerous for them to find and potentially chew/eat on the floor. Overall, just understanding and taking into consideration that every pet is different/has different personalities, wants/needs, and ensuring they have everything they need (water, food, potty area, etc.)

About: I've adopted many cats over the years, and have turned a feral cat into one of the sweetest indoor cats. I have had a few years experience volunteering in an animal shelter, taking care of dogs and cats. I love all dogs and cats and will care for your pets as if they're my own children. I work full-time, but have joined Rover because I really love dogs and cats. I am available all day Saturday and morning and early afternoon Sunday, When I take care of your pet, you can rest assured that your dog or cat is in good hands and will be treated with love.

About: A blend of love with expertise! Whether your dog is full of energy or a laid-back couch potato, I’ve got you covered. I grew up on a ranch with over 20 dogs at any given time, handling everything from large litters of puppies to administering various medications. While off in college I have dog-sat for friends, family, and coworkers. My husband and I both work full time Monday-Friday. We are very active in the mornings and evenings walking our dog Brody for at least 45 minutes. We are hoping to dogsit a pup that can be home for the first half of the day and lounge with our boy, and then have a fun and eventful afternoon! I have a small fenced backyard and a spacious grassy area across the street. During previous dog sitting, I ensured the pup enjoyed multiple outings daily, including neighborhood strolls, longer hikes, and visits to the fenced dog park.

“Bella is incredible! Can’t recommend her highly enough! She was punctual, communicative, and sent tons of great pictures! The cats loved her!”
