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.

“Miranda was easy and great to work with. Our pup seemed to have a great time and enjoyed playing with her dog. Located in a safe neighborhood and home that is pet friendly. She was also flexible with drop off times. Would definitely recommend for any pet sitting/boarding needs!”

We appreciated the visit pictures and updates. It made our travels so much more pleasant knowing that Coco was being so well taken care of. We especially appreciated how mindful Jazzlynne was for the cleanliness of Coco's area and the kitchen where she prepared Coco's meals. Everything was neat and in its place when we returned. We highly recommend Jazzlynne as a cat care provider!”

About: I’ve watched cats for friends occasionally and lived with a cat for about a year. I love their independent nature and willingness to tolerate humans on a case by case basis. Gotta respect their hilarious ways.
About: My family and I always had cats growing up, although they were mainly outdoor cats, but we’ve always had great memories of them! I love the independence they carry as well as their moments of love and tenderness. I’ve always been very good with cats, and would love the chance to show your a-meowzing cats some love!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 8 years now and truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from relaxed cuddle buddies to high-energy pups who need lots of exercise. I especially enjoy getting dogs out on walks, beach trips, and hikes to keep them happy and stimulated. If your dog enjoys socializing, I also have a nearby family home where they can safely spend time with other friendly dogs. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule as I work remotely, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home often and able to adjust my routine based on your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just company and comfort. I also go on a walk or hike every day, and I’d love to bring along a fluffy companion who enjoys being active and getting outside. I’m happy to tailor my day to make sure your pet feels included, stimulated, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a small fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, and pets are always supervised when outside. Inside, they’re welcome to lounge, play, and settle in as part of the home. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to give consistent attention, including walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also go on daily walks or hikes and love including pets who enjoy being active. If your pet needs extra stimulation or prefers outings, I have a car and can take them to the beach, parks, or other safe outdoor spots. My goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible while making them feel right at home.
About: I have had a cat for most of my life. I currently now have a tabby/siamese of my own. I have experience working with cats in shelters and interning with cats at veterinary clinics. I am a compassionate registered nurse that pays attention to detail and loves spending time with cats.
“Loren did a great job taking care of my two cats and communicating their eating and playing habits. She takes wonderful photos of the animals and managed to fit some playing in with them even in a short timeframe. My house was clean when I returned and I saw that she even put some non-toy items that the cats had managed to get into out of reach!”
About: My care philosophy is simple: I treat every pet as the family member they are, providing individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my specialization in special needs pets, multi-pet care and my experience as a previous dog & cat groomer and dog trainer. This allows me to confidently handle pets with complex needs and guarantees they continue their routine without interruption. You get the highest 'Gold Standard' of care, ensuring peace of mind for you and happy paws for them. Currently, I am best available for care, walks, feeding, etc in the morning and evening hours, as well as weekends. I am also available for overnights, as long as my school-aged, pet whisperer can accompany me. My services are exclusively in the client’s home to ensure your pet remains comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I strictly adhere to your pet's established routine for feeding, medication, and walks to minimize stress and maintain consistency. During my visits, your pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention through focused play and cuddles, treating them as the beloved family member they are. You will receive detailed daily photo "pupdates" and regular wellness reports, guaranteeing you complete peace of mind while you are away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Avila Beach
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: To stay busy as a child, I walked and house sat practically the entire neighborhood’s beloved pet. Summer days were filled with miles of dog walking adventures with a dedicated cabinet to keep the hundreds of house keys safe. Even now, as I begin grad school at Cal Poly, I can’t imagine my routine without it! Morning exercise, study breaks throughout the day, and evening walks are a perfect time for animal care sessions. Having a sister who is a vet, I am only a quick call away from an expert diagnosis if ever necessary. I have piece of mind knowing assistance is close and years of experience keeping animals happy and safe. I am currently enrolled in Cal Poly’s Master’s program for Biomedical Engineering, which is completely virtual this quarter and likely next. This allows for a very flexible schedule with frequent study breaks for pet walks or visits. The remote lessons even allow me to listen to lectures while with your pet in your home for extended pet company. My house is close to the bike path and terrace hill for the perfect pet excursion sure to leave them tired and happy. I love running to accommodate the high energy animals as well as the leisurely hike for those who are slowing down or prefer a casual sniff around.
“Absolutely amazing, beautiful personality, dog and house. I feel completely safe leaving my dog with her. She is the best dog sitter I’ve found here in San Luis Obispo. Thank you Kate!!!”

Our family is patient, loving, and caring of your furry friend! Our family does have privately owned business and a part-time job. Our family typically has at least one of us at home at all times to keep your dog company. We care for pets as if they are just like a guest in our home. We also like taking them out of the house for walks and car rides. We do have a doggie door for them to go out to our enclosed/fenced patio area. We like spoiling dogs, but will follow any rules they are coming from in order to keep consistency when they return back to you. Please just let us know what is not allowed.

“Shannon has been wonderful so far. She has taken exceptional care of Macy, is attentive, communicates regularly, and is a true lover of dogs. We will continue to book her. Thanks Shannon!”
“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”
“Kara was outstanding and accepted my last minute request for day care. My pup seemed to really enjoy her time there! She must have been playing all day because she was completely wiped when we got home, that’s how I know she had a good time though!”
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!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way! We were initially very nervous at the thought of needing to find a sitter for our 11mo old Aussies as we’ve always taken them with us when traveling. But on our first go, we found Niccola who was incredible, so accommodating, kind, and had so much love for our crazy boys. They felt at home with her right away. We could tell they had a blast during their first daycare stay as they were completely wiped for the rest of the night. We’re so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, caring person as our go-to sitter!”
“Matthew and his significant other were total life savers during an occasionally unpredictable week for me. They were great with Reaux & super understanding and flexible when things came up at work that required me to go in earlier or come home later. Matthew texted an update during the day with a picture of Reaux. He also was very gracious when Reaux peed on his rug. This was an amazing River experience!!!”
About: I have a 3 year old Bernese Mountain dog that I have raised from a puppy. Ready to share my love and care with more dogs and pups when their parents need a hand!

“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!”
“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”
“Our "Multi-poo, Mattie needed a sitter for the day while we played the Avila Beach golf course, so we found Thomas, and Mattie became 'Pug for a day'. She blends well with Pugs, and she's similar in size, so that's how we chose Thomas- our sitter. She had dog park time, and was glad for the canine company for the day. We picked her up and she was happy and healthy, and in need of a nap, which was another goal we had - tire her out for the day. Thanks Thomas!”

About: Hi! I’m Beverly, a registered nurse, wife, and mom to two boys. Our family loves animals, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We have experience caring for both large and small breeds and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. One of the reasons I joined Rover is because my 9 year old son, Andrew, loves dogs and is hoping to earn a little extra summer spending money while learning responsibility and the value of hard work. Any dog walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting services will be booked through me and supervised by me, but Andrew loves helping give extra attention, playtime, and walks to our furry guests. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors and taking walks together, so your pup will receive plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. Whether your dog needs a walk, a check in while you’re away, or loving care during a longer stay, we’ll treat them like part of our family. We look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we already enjoy family walks, outdoor time, and spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feedings, and check ins throughout the day. My son Andrew loves helping care for dogs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. We understand that dogs are most comfortable in their own home, and we are happy to provide loving care in a familiar environment while you’re away. We will follow your pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. As a nurse and lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your family member, and my son Andrew loves helping give dogs extra companionship and exercise.

“I felt very confident that my Ridgeback was in safe hands with Adrienne. It was our first overnight stay with her, and she kept me informed throughout and sent pictures during their walks. I highly recommend Adrienne for dog sitting.”
“This was a last minute request when we came into town for a wedding. Met and made introductions the day of the request and booked for the following night. Throughout, Kara was quick with communications and made our two dogs feel right at home. The relaxed atmosphere of Kara's home put our dogs at ease. Next time we're in the area, no question we'll reach out to Kara for boarding.”
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.
“We were so thankful to find Josh to watch our Lucy for 5 nights. He sent us daily updates and from the looks of the pictures Lucy seemed very happy at his home and especially happy with his daughters. We would recommend!”
“Sarah kept Coco over a long weekend. I could tell from Coco’s casual demeanor at pick-up rather than the usual over excitement that she was more than content staying with Sarah and her lovely dog. She even let Coco tag along for their outdoor adventures. I recommend Sarah to anyone looking to board their dog at a great price!”
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!
“Natalie took very good care of our dog Bentley. She was very responsive and provided daily photos. I recommend her to anyone needing care for their pet! Thanks again Natalie :)”
“Lillylu stayed with Kyle and Sara for 14 days. I received daily updates with a photo or video. Lilly was a happy , loved and cared for doggie in their care. They were so kind as to give Lilly an Oatmeal bath before my return. I feel so blessed that I found the perfect fit for my Lillylu. ❤️🐶❤️”
“Marissa took great care of my senior dog overnight! Sent me updated pictures throughout the time he was there and her dogs were super sweet and got along with mine great. Would definitely recommend 🤍”
“We have used Marin twice and it was such a dreamy experience! I love that my dog gets to be with her family and the sweet children . Marin is super accommodating and communicative . I got pics of my sweet babes with updates, which really helped me to not worry about them while I was gone . Marin and her family really are so great ! I just can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found them to take care of my favorite beings .”
“Anna was great with Cooper while I was away! She was super responsible and responsive, and I really appreciated the constant updates—tons of cute pictures and videos. Cooper looked happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I’d definitely book with her 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!”
