“Rachel and her loving family took fantastic care of our little 6 month old puppy. This was the first time we had left her with someone and we really appreciated the attention to detail and expertise that Rachel provided. We will definitely be using her services in the future and are so glad to have found her!!”
“Two weeks late with this review here. Marissa was awesome. Felt at ease while my girl was under her care. Marissa was professional keeping me updated with progress and photos. If you're looking to book in Atascadero, I wouldn't hesitate on letting her be your top choice in pup care. I'll certainly book again when in the are. Thank you for taking care of my little girl!”
“Natalie was outstanding! My dog stayed with her for 8 days. She went above and beyond to send updates and photos multiple times per day. She was so communicative, and it was obvious that my dog was having a great time! I seriously can't say enough about how great Natalie and her family are, and you should absolutely book with her with no hesitation. I will be rebooking with her anytime we go out of town. She's the best!! Thank you so much, Natalie and fam! :)”
“Our dog Soos had a good time at Josh’s place. There were two Corgies at the location and he had other dogs stay there as well when Soos was there. Easy to communicate with and his family seems very pet friendly. Thanks again Josh!”
“Tara and her family took excellent care of our dog Gabby while we were away. Lots of walks, cuddles and extra attention. We also received daily updates and photos. We would absolutely book with them again.”
“Katie was so wonderful! My dog came home relaxed and tired from all the fun. I can tell she was properly cared for and given a lot of attention and exercise. I was so grateful for Katie’s kindness and understanding of my special, quirky dog.”
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
“I cannot be more pleased with the care Sara provided for my very senior dog, Kona. Kona stayed with Sara for 5 days and appeared to adapt quickly to Sara and her house. Without asking, Sara took the initiative sending updates and images of Kona throughout her stay. Sara quickly replied to my inquiries before and during Kona's stay. One of the reasons why I initially chose Sara, was the experience she listed as working in a veterinary's office and the fact that she put together a very thorough bio describing her background in working with animals. I was initially considering a kennel in Arroyo Grande but was concerned that being in a large kennel environment would be hard on a senior dog like my Kona. With Sara's veterinary experience, she felt that a quieter home environment would be easier on a senior dog, without me bringing up this concern of mine. If you are looking for good quality care for your pet, I highly recommend Sara! Kona will be returning soon to Sara's home when I travel out of state.”
“Marla is so calm and kind- her love of dogs shows in the great care she gave our two pups! This was the first time we left one of our dogs with a sitter and he seemed to do so well and clearly happy with the care. We hope to have Marla back to take care of our pups on our next trip away.”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“Douglas took great care of Cooper for our visit! We live in Colorado and were traveling to the coast for a few days. We would definitely use Douglas again if we lived here! Thank you for loving Cooper!”
“Mellow, relaxed, thoughtful, attentive, caring I think my cat would rather adopt Cara as her owner than me, If she had the choice!! Good thing she doesn't, The little squirt 🤣 If my cat can't take another day of my shenanigans, I know exactly where to take her for peace of mind!”

“She's awesome! Very communicative and lots of texts and pictures. She loves our animals as much as we do and went above and beyond to make them happy. Don't pass her by and we already booked another trip with her. Five stars all the way and you wont be disappointed.”
“Carlos was amazing!!! He took excellent care of my home and elderly cat. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Carlos for your next housesitting or petsitting needs. I’ve already booked him for my next vacation ?”
“Coral is truly an animal person. She's so loving, responsible, knowledgeable and personable. She made us feel so comfortable about being away. She's definitely the person we'll want whenever we go somewhere.”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have care for animals as big as cows to animals as small a guinea pigs. I am comfortable with senior, special needs and high energy animals alike. I currently work 9-5 but have availability before and after office hours and all day Wednesday and Thursday. I am happy to stop in and check on your fur babies early morning or into the evening. My pets are my family and I treat all animals with that same level of love and respect. I want all my clients to know their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
About: With more than 15 years of pet-sitting experience, I bring a lifetime of genuine love, patience, and dedication to every pet in my care. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so I make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. What sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, preferences, and needs—from favorite toys and walking routes to feeding schedules and special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With me, your pet receives more than basic care—they receive companionship, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is for every pet to feel at home and for every pet parent to have complete peace of mind. 🐾💕 I’m currently working full time but I’m self employed and make my own schedule so I can sit and walk pets around my schedule and I can pet sit overnights. I will care for them like my own and abide by the owners inside and outside rules and regulations. I adjust to different circumstances or situations.
About: Greetings, I have grown up with 2-3 dogs my whole life, many of which have had health issues. I am comfortable with any type of dog and his/her accommodations. I have also pet sat for many animals, dogs included. I love being outside and would take your loved pets on walks or runs if they were in my care unless the owner asked otherwise. They would have constant access to water, food when owner specifies, and many parks and an outside yard to go to the bathroom. I believe in frequent bathroom breaks, constant attention, play, and naps. I am available after 12 am on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 10 am. I have three other people I live with who are comfortable with and will love on the dogs if they are home. I like clear instructions from owners on what they want their dogs daily routine to look like. I also request the owners immediate contact information as well as a veterinarian's (if possible), in case of emergencies.
About: While my forte is with dogs, I am more than happy to help with feline friends. I have owned cats as well as dogs and helped family and friends with cat-sitting needs since I was young. I'm highly organized and detail-oriented, so I take owner instructions seriously. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication instructions (when provided), training cues, and any special routines to keep your pet's day as normal and stress-free as possible. I believe great pet care is built on communication, reliability, and trust. You can expect prompt responses, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that your pet and home are being treated with the same care and respect I'd give my own.
About: I’ve been around cats and animals my entire life. I spent much of my childhood on a farm surrounded by animals and have years of experience caring for cats of all personalities. I’m also a proud Maine Coon owner myself, so I understand their unique personalities and needs. I’ll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️
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.
“Helona has been such a huge help over the last year, always reliable and excellent communication. I love knowing I can go to work and my baby Vincent will be well cared for in my absence. Vinny is always happy to see her!”
About: We’re a dedicated pet-sitting team with over 30 years of experience caring for animals, bringing compassion, patience, and reliability to every pet we care for. We love keeping pets happy and active with walks and play, while always following your detailed instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and special needs. Working together means your pet always has attentive, consistent care—never rushed or overlooked. We truly enjoy spending quality time with animals and treat every pet as if they were our own, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a pet-sitting team, we offer the best of both worlds. I work from home, so your pet has company, attention, and care throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, play, and check-ins. My partner is retired, which means added availability, flexibility, and a calm presence at home. Together, we ensure your pet is never alone, rushed, or overlooked. We’re happy to follow a detailed schedule you provide—including exact feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medications—so your pet’s routine stays consistent, familiar, and stress-free while you’re away. As an in-home pet-sitting team, we care for your pet the same way we’d want someone to care for our own—with love, attentiveness, and respect for their home and routine. Having two caregivers means more consistency, flexibility, and peace of mind, with your pet always receiving calm, unrushed attention in the comfort of their own space. We believe clear communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and short videos to reassure you that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. We take the time to listen carefully and follow every instruction you provide—from feeding schedules and medications to special needs and quirks—so your pet’s routine stays familiar and stress-free while you’re away.
“Brittany was so professional. She was communicative and went the extra mile! My sweet (and feisty) Iris was well taken care of and my home warm and welcoming when I returned!”
About: I've had Australian Shepherd dogs my whole life. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes ! I have my degree in Animal Science, and currently work in the Veterinary Field. I'm an active person- love to run and hike- especially when I have a canine partner. I have years of experience dog sitting in Orange County and Los Angeles County. Please contact me if you’d like to have your pet watched or walked in the near future. I’ve always loved animals, and am happy to say I’ve made a career in working with them. When your Dog is with me- they are considered family! I work from home when I’m not traveling and have flexibility in my schedule. Because of that, I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and petsitting. Because I work in the veterinary field, I am very tentative to pets needs and their safety. I know what signs to look for when our animals are in jeopardy regarding their health.
About: I have always been a huge animal lover. I have a sweet fur baby of my own and treat her like my baby. To me animals are family. They are the children that depend on us. They are always there, with those adorable eyes to make you feel guilty for not giving your food to them. I have trained not including mine but close to 25 owners dogs as puppies. I'm great with disciplining. I am also a student I'm going to school for law. I'm very trust worthy and dependable. I work at a restaurant as a server. 3 days a wk. which gives me plenty of time to care for animals in my home or yours! If you have any questions. Please ask away! I’m a sahm. So I always have plenty of time. I take my dogs for walks with my little girl. I put a carrier on and my dogs love it. I do beach walks and walks around the neighborhood . I have a huge fenced in back yard. I’m on 5 acres. I love to go out in the backyard and play fetch and do property walks. I have a fun energetic 1 yr dog. And I have a senior dog who is very laid back and to herself. I do keep them in other rooms during the day since she likes her peace. So if a dog needs peace I would separate during the day away from the puppy as well
“Robyn was an excellent caretaker for my 2-year-old cat. My cat is not neutered, and many pet sitters outright refused to take him, but Robyn was both enthusiastic and gracious in accepting him. She provided frequent updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. It was clear she actively engaged with my cat—providing toys, attention, and a comfortable environment. From everything she shared, I could tell he was genuinely well cared for. Robyn is the definition of a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful person. I would absolutely rely on her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

“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.”
“I am very excited to be writing this review! Robyn is an absolute sweetheart. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my pup (for the first time ever) with someone. She went WAY out of her way, even 2 months prior, to ensure that I felt reassured. Upon meeting Robyn, my little baby was already wagging his tail. She was so talented in making him and me feel safe. Her lodging is at the Garden inn which has great shady grass areas for the pups to walk around and do their sniffing. She had also offered what sounded like a wonderful walk where my little guy could see nature and some horses... but when we were there it was too hot. Robin is a beautiful person, and I could not be more happy to have met her. She nurtured my dog and kept him in her lap, he gave her kisses etc. I am so happy. I will definitely use Robyn again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sara was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She had excellent communication and when dropping her off I could tell she was in good hands. Everything went well and I would definitely book Sara again.”
About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend. I have the tools and knowledge to care for dogs all across the board, and not only that, but I love each dog with all my heart and treat them with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, and do remote work. I can easily work with you and your schedule to come to your home to watch your pet, or pick up for pet for the day etc. I have a large fenced in yard to watch your pet for the day if they come to me. I am great at following any specific instructions and can also walk your dog around our 50 acres. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, I follow everything closely, and love working with you and your pet so everyone is happy and comfortable!
“Joan was a caring and knowledgable person who accommodated my fluctuating schedule during a recent trip to the Atascadero/Morro Bay Area. She made sure my dog got what he needed during his time with her. We were fortunate to have found her. Thank you!”
“Janice is so kind and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable leaving my Stella overnight. Janice kept me in the loop of how Stella was doing. She sent picture and video. Stella was well taken care of and I could tell she enjoyed herself socializing with the other dogs.”
“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.”
“This was a last minute dog sitting job and Cara was immediate in helping me out. She got right back to me and when we met, I saw how loving she was to my dog. He was right at home. I highly recommend Cara.”
“Chris, was very patient and kind regarding our 3.5 year old pup and took him on a few walks during his doggie day care time from 9:30-4:30pm. His dog, Cash, and Nugget both enjoyed their puppy time together. Christ was great at being able to handle all the puppy shananagans they had together. Chris really helped me out while my husband and I were at my father’s memorial service. We are so appreciative and recommend his services. He is new to the area but don’t let that stop you from utilizing his services.”
“Allie was patient and accommodating for my pup with special needs. She made sure it was a safe and comfortable environment. The enclosed backyard is big with lush green grass and she controlled the dogs well. Very positive experience.”
“Absolutely amazing! Madelyn cared for my two pups and my friends pub while we went wine touring, the pups all had such a great time with her! They got to got on long walks on hiking trails and cozied up on the sofa for nap time. Definitely recommend booking through Madelyn. My pups and I are all very comfortable having her watch them would recommend her to anyone visiting Paso Robles and needs a Pup Sitter or trainer for the day.”

“Katie is amazing! She had a wonderful first day with our pup Jack. She is very warm and professional, and an obvious dog-lover! Jack felt right at home and he loved spending the day with her and sweet Sumi. Katie was very responsive and she sent pics and updates throughout the day. She took Jack out for walks and treated him like he was her own fur-baby. We will definitely be using Katie again for watching Jack. We all loved her!”

I am retired and looking for things to do during the week (mon-Fri) to fill my days. I have always loved the company of dogs and love to take them on daily walks. I have a dog bed in my bedroom, where your dog would sleep at night. The dogs water bowl is always kept clean and fresh. The dogs would always be welcome to hang out in the house with me, too.
“Carlos was great! He met us at a park to walk our pup for a few hours while we were visiting and doing touristey things. We even got a few pics of our pup enjoying the beach. Thanks Carlos!”
“Mary walked my Great Pyrenees, Ophelia, and did a wonderful job. She is punctual, friendly, and was great with Ophelia. She provided thorough reports after each walk about how things went and sent photos too. I happily recommend Mary!”

About: I've spent years caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I'm comfortable providing structured walks, play, feeding, reinforcing established routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. As an active person, I enjoy working with dogs that love to get outside, exercise, and explore, but I also understand that every pet is different. Whether your companion prefers a long walk, gentle play, or simply quiet company, I'll adapt my care to their individual needs. I'm highly organized and detail-oriented, so I take owner instructions seriously. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (when provided), training cues, and any special routines to keep your pet's day as normal and stress-free as possible. I believe great pet care is built on communication, reliability, and trust. You can expect prompt responses, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that your pet and home are being treated with the same care and respect I'd give my own. I offer flexible scheduling and do my best to accommodate each pet's routine. Whether your dog needs an early morning walk, a midday potty break, evening exercise, or overnight companionship, I'll work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs. I keep my calendar up to date and respond to booking requests promptly. If you have a recurring schedule or a last-minute request, don't hesitate to reach out—I'll always let you know honestly if I can help. I'm available for weekends, holidays, and many last-minute bookings whenever my calendar allows. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, triggers, and daily schedule so I can provide care that's as consistent and stress-free as possible. I closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training cues, and household routines. During walks, I prioritize secure leash handling, situational awareness, and avoiding unsafe interactions with unfamiliar animals or hazards. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep your home tidy, secure doors and gates, and can bring in mail, water plants, or handle other agreed-upon tasks while you're away. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home.
About: I’ve spent a lifetime caring for animals and children. I’ve owned many dogs, been around horses and farms, worked as a nanny, and cared for friends’ and family’s pets while they traveled. Animals and children naturally seem to trust me—I’ve yet to meet a child or a dog I didn’t adore, or who didn’t warm up to me. As a self-employed hairstylist rebuilding my clientele, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. With no children or dogs of my own at home, I’m able to give your pets lots of personal attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and love. Caring for your pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and have attended several dog and puppy training classes. I’m comfortable with crate routines, safe leash handling, walking, brushing, playtime, and keeping dogs secure and under control. I also love giving them plenty of exercise and attention—from playing ball and long doggy walks to fun outings and beach adventures.

About: Hi! 🤍 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and getting to spend time with them is honestly one of my favorite things. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s little personality and what makes them happiest. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and can follow any routines or training you’d like me to stick with. I work full time, but I make dedicated time for my Rover pets and will always show up reliably and communicate with you so you feel completely at ease. I’d love an opportunity to care for your fur baby! 🤍 Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, so I make dedicated time for pet care throughout my week 🤍 Even with a full time job, I plan my days so I can give each pet the attention and consistency they deserve, whether that’s morning visits, midday checkins, or evening walks. I’m very intentional about my schedule and only take on what I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is in reliable and caring hands. I know my way around a leash for any dog size, great and small, and will reinforce any training if needed during the drop ins and walks.
“I wasn't feeling well this week and was in bed most of the time and was able to hear Kaylee's greeting/coversation with Chedder when she came to take him on his walk. She was so sweet with him, it was so warming to hear :)”
About: Hi my name is Robyn. I absolutely love animals! Especially dogs... but I do love all animals. I have been around animals all of my life. I have always had dogs, sometimes a cat until I had children (my son is very allergic), I owned a horse, fish and a gecko (her name was Brittney Spears :) my daughters named her!). I hope to own alpacas one day they are so cute! My kids tease me- they call me Aliza Thornbury- its was a cartoon they used to watch when they were younger... they are adults now. I would love to care for your canine family member(s). I will walk them, play with them, talk to them, nurture and love them like my own & like you do. I am the “doting auntie”…. Loving on your fur babies. They will miss you naturally and know that with all of the affection & attention they receive from me, if rom my experiences they are distracted and very happy during their time spent with me. Being in my loving home far surpasses what a boarding facility can provide. Apples to oranges. People tell me I am very good with animals. Its natural. Regarding House sitting: am also available to bring your mail in, do projects, organize and clean while you are away or at work whatever the case may be. I am open to discuss. Regarding how far I will travel to your house: If I am staying for the 4 days or more I am happy to travel greater distances. I have house/pet sit in LA county, Ventura County & Orange County in the past On a daily basis ideally somewhere closer to where I live and surrounding areas would be more realistic. Again, I am open to discuss each individual situation. Re: Rate- open to discuss as it depends on where - how far I am traveling to your house and length of time- we could discuss a weekly flat rate as well. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family! (your pets) :) xoxo Robyn PS. I would greatly appreciate it if all clients would bathe their furry babies before they drop them off to me or let me know that they are in need of a bath and I can provide this service on the first day with me. Thank you very much. 🐾😊 I am home full time. I am 100% available to give your pets tons of love , care & attention with lots of play time, cuddles & tummy rubs. *** HOUSE SITTING/PET SITTING IN YOUR HOME:. I am highly experienced with caring for homes. I am not the type to sit around. When your canine babies /pets are napping or relaxing. I typically like to clean , do laundry , change sheets If permitted. I like to care for your home while you are away so you feel at ease while traveling. I know from my own experiences with travelling, it's very nice to return home to a tidy , freshly cleaned home. My goal is for you to have as little as stress as possible upon your return. Per some of my clients requesting have cleaned out the food in their refrigerators and ordered all fresh food for them to return home to. Most people love this because it's one less errand to do after returning from a vacation or time away from the home. It's a nice convenience and it's my pleasure to do this for my clients. I am experienced in managing your home while you are away please feel free to create a list of "to do's" that may need to be taken care of. Bottom line is that I am here to make your life easier and as stress free as possible. We will discuss Details prior to my stay to ensure that all of your needs & wishes are met. It's about your happiness & satisfaction. 😊 I would never let your canine family member out of my site. When we go go on walks I always use their leash. I'm very protective and aware of our surroundings. I wash all the sheets& blankets daily to keep their relaxing /sleep areas fresh , clean & as sanitized as possible. I vacuum & Swiffer the floors to remove the pet hairs to keep the environment as clean & fresh as I can. Helps me too with allergies! Lol. My focus is on giving your pet the best care & with lots of love. So far all of my pet guests have bonded well with me & tend to stick by my side. I really miss them when they go home. They are all so special & precious. Thank you for considering me & choosing me to care for your furry family member(s). XOXO🥰🐾🐾 I am 100% focused on your canine furry family member. My primary focus is caring for my pet guests. I am healing after going thru aggressive chemotherapy 2021. The love I give and the love I recieve is incredibly therapeutic. 🐾 I thoroughly enjoy the time I spend with each pet guest. Brings much joy. When your pets are with me we tend to hang out on my sofa or on my bed. Typically it's a cozy & cuddly. Most often nestling up to me. I love it. I don't use crates unless the owner prefers. I follow and adhere to the owner/ pet parents instructions. Rates are always negotiable! Let’s connect. 🐾💕🐾 I am 100% available to care for your furry family member(s). I don’t leave your dogs alone and do not work away from my place of residence. My focus is all about the dogs! 🥰🐾 I give them so much love, attention & affection 24/7. Typically we become besties…and develop a wonderful bond & connection,. You will have peace of mind knowing your beautiful dog(s) is receiving the best loving care. When we are inside your canine family member is treated like my child while staying with me… I allow hanging out on my bed so we can be cozy and cuddly. Of course if this is not allowed in your home I will follow your rules to stay consistent. I have cozy throw blankets , dog bed,( always washed , sanitized & fresh ) lots of toys, bully sticks, balls, rope toy , healthy treats, bowls for food & water. When we go outside to play, potty and walks I always have your pet on a leash for their safety & protection. There is an enclosed fenced locked area here that I am able to access to allow the dogs to run and play off leash. It’s not a dog park so there will not be other dogs there. It’s basically a private area and the all the dogs love it! It’s about 75 yards in length & approximately 20 feet wide . All grass. We also take walks to the pool where there’s a rock jacuzzi and lots of grass around the pool. Dogs are welcome to be there with me on their leash and they all seem to really enjoy it . Your dogs safety is my priority.
“Very nice and understanding of certain medical conditions that my dog has. She's seems super professional and was willing to walk my 2 huskies. Not many people will do that without knowing the dog. Thank you Kelcey 😊”
About: I am a retired dog handler, trainer and evaluator who has owned and cared for dogs over 25 years! I love dogs and look forward to caring for yours! I am semi-retired and available to care for your dog most days and weekends as well as help with any training needs you may need! My two daughters also have a love for dogs and help with dog care when they can ! Thanks! I live on two acres with several different fenced areas with grass and open play areas as well as separate kennels and dog runs for multiple dogs that need their private space! I also have a large home with plenty of safe areas for smaller dogs to stay inside ! Just let me know your dogs needs and we can provide it here and take care of them!
About: I believe that pets aren't just pets. They are one of us, making them a big part of our families. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are usually out of sight until they are hungry. We have dog gates to keep everyone safe. I have a large fenced yard and a daughter who loves animals. We are a very dog friendly family. Your dogs will be in a fun home environment and love you for letting them stay here. We also have chickens and ducks! However, they are locked up and inaccessible to the dogs. About this sitter: I am a 37 year old stay at home mom and wife. I have a 14 year old daughter. She loves animals and is very gentle. My husband and I own our home. We have a large fenced in yard. I can walk dogs, help to potty train, help with basic obedience, crate train, take to dog parks, even come and clean litter boxes and feed cats! My dogs are crate trained and sleep in their crates when we are not home. My dogs get to be on the couch and bed with us. We do not leave them outside when it is too hot or too cold, but they do love to lay in the sun. Pet care fits great with my schedule, as taking care of my family is my number one priority. Working a 9 to 5 job just doesn’t fit in with my daily life. Pet care is fun, unique, and never the same! I have a fenced backyard. I would never leave your pet outside unattended. If I’m at your home, I’ll play with your cats or dogs. I’ll gain their trust (not just clean litter boxes or pick up after them). I make sure to take lots of videos and pictures so you know they are happy and taken care of. Your pets are treated with respect and like my own when I care for them.
About: I am a certified dog mom. I have raised two pups starting at the age of 7 weeks. I know the time, love and care that is needed for these pups to get the care they deserve. I am here to make your life a little easier. Your pup is in good hands! I also have experience with e-collars. My schedule does change weekly. Each day is different for me. Feel free to reach out and I’ll see what I can do to help! I have a flexible work schedule that allows for me to take the dogs out for up to an hour. Depending on your requests there is flexibility. I make sure to give the dog space until they are ready to approach me considering I am entering their space. I make sure to read their body language to get a feel of what the dog is looking for.

“Two weeks late with this review here. Marissa was awesome. Felt at ease while my girl was under her care. Marissa was professional keeping me updated with progress and photos. If you're looking to book in Atascadero, I wouldn't hesitate on letting her be your top choice in pup care. I'll certainly book again when in the are. Thank you for taking care of my little girl!”
“Natalie was outstanding! My dog stayed with her for 8 days. She went above and beyond to send updates and photos multiple times per day. She was so communicative, and it was obvious that my dog was having a great time! I seriously can't say enough about how great Natalie and her family are, and you should absolutely book with her with no hesitation. I will be rebooking with her anytime we go out of town. She's the best!! Thank you so much, Natalie and fam! :)”
“Our dog Soos had a good time at Josh’s place. There were two Corgies at the location and he had other dogs stay there as well when Soos was there. Easy to communicate with and his family seems very pet friendly. Thanks again Josh!”
“Tara and her family took excellent care of our dog Gabby while we were away. Lots of walks, cuddles and extra attention. We also received daily updates and photos. We would absolutely book with them again.”
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
“I cannot be more pleased with the care Sara provided for my very senior dog, Kona. Kona stayed with Sara for 5 days and appeared to adapt quickly to Sara and her house. Without asking, Sara took the initiative sending updates and images of Kona throughout her stay. Sara quickly replied to my inquiries before and during Kona's stay. One of the reasons why I initially chose Sara, was the experience she listed as working in a veterinary's office and the fact that she put together a very thorough bio describing her background in working with animals. I was initially considering a kennel in Arroyo Grande but was concerned that being in a large kennel environment would be hard on a senior dog like my Kona. With Sara's veterinary experience, she felt that a quieter home environment would be easier on a senior dog, without me bringing up this concern of mine. If you are looking for good quality care for your pet, I highly recommend Sara! Kona will be returning soon to Sara's home when I travel out of state.”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“Douglas took great care of Cooper for our visit! We live in Colorado and were traveling to the coast for a few days. We would definitely use Douglas again if we lived here! Thank you for loving Cooper!”
“Mellow, relaxed, thoughtful, attentive, caring I think my cat would rather adopt Cara as her owner than me, If she had the choice!! Good thing she doesn't, The little squirt 🤣 If my cat can't take another day of my shenanigans, I know exactly where to take her for peace of mind!”
“Marissa is an incredibly understanding, communicative, accommodating and trustworthy dog sitter. My dog has behavioral issues and she went out of her way to meet us twice before having our first overnight stay. She knows her way around e-collars which is incredibly helpful for pups like mine that have gone through a board and stay boot camp. I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”
“Jelisa did an excellent job taking care of my dog Lucy at her own home while “boarding her”. She sent pictures and Lucy was happy and tired out from all the open space she was able to run around at her place. She treated Lucy as her own and kept her on her meds and all the specific details for my dog who has a few medical issues that needed to be taken care of. Thanks for being amazing with our sweet Lucy!! I highly recommend Jelisa for all your dog caring needs!”
About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
