About: Available for dog walking and babysitting! I don’t have any pets myself so okay with dogs/cats that don’t like or can’t be around other animals 👍🏻 Available in Grover Beach for walking, boarding, house check ins, any pet related needs! I set my own work schedule, don’t tend to be away from home for more then a couple hours at a time, and I live with my grandmother who loves to sit and talk animals so they’ll get plenty of love and attention! I live in condo near a dog park, No children or pets live in the house, no toxic houseplants or choking hazards. Can board overnight
“Niccola was GREAT!!!!! Our 2 pups loved having her backyard to romp in and having her babysit them gave us a couple of days to relax and enjoy the local area without them LOL! We will DEFINITELY use her again when in the area and would recommend her highly to anyone who needs to board their fur babies.”
“Thomas and his family took such great care of our baby girl. She had the best time with their adorable pugs and was super tuckered out after (which is always a good thing when you have a puppy!!). Will definitely use Thomas for pup-sitting again!”
“Mary & Teg are amazing!! They gave my 1.5 year old pug Ziah so much love. I felt 100% at peace and comfortable while gone on my vacation. They sent pictures, short video clips and even face timed me. She just looked happy, warm and content. I HIGHLY recommend them and will without a doubt choose Mary & Teg to watch my little girl every time!! Thank you!!!!”
“We sooo appreciated Tami keeping our small dog for us while we attended a wedding. She was so accommodating and let us drop off/ pick up at times that worked for us. We loved that our dog was able to play with hers and have a fun time- it took so much worry off our shoulders! She truly treated him like family and I can tell that doggies are her joy and passion. I also loved the picture updates she sent throughout the visit!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Sheridan was awesome with my Fur Babies, she kept me up to date with txt msgs, videos, & pics. Sheridan was a life saver at the last minute to take care of my 6 month old female puppy & 4 year old stud. Both Cookie & Brownie were taken care of with “Love” ❤️ I could tell when I picked them up after a 3 night stay they were “Happy” and Not in distress. This was the 1st time my fur babies have been with a sitter and away from home. Sheridan gave me tips and advice for Cookie and I look forward to having my fur babies stay with her again. Also, I plan on having Sheridan walk the dogs when I’m at work ?”
“Caitlin was incredibly attentive with my nervous Nellie and remained in contact with me throughout her oversight stay. I appreciate her kind and thoughtful demenor to help my senior pup feel safe.”
“Paul is wonderful for humans to communicate with and was a dream sitter-pal for my dog. He communicated well and promptly both before and throughout the stay; met my dog and I with incredible warmth and welcome; sent pictures regularly - documenting how much fun and hospitality my dog was enjoying and that he and other household members were all making her feel welcome; and truly gave me the comfort of knowing my dog was being well cared-for while I was away. Thank you Paul!”
“Shannon treated my pup so well! My dog can be nervous in new situations but she quickly felt right at home! Shannon was easy to work with when I needed to adjust my pick-up time. I will definitely book with Shannon again next time I am in the area.”
“Alicia was lovely to work with. She responded quickly to our need for a sitter and gave our pup a home away from home while we were away. I think he really felt part of their family during his stay. Thank you, Alicia!”

“Kayla took great care of my two cats while we were away! It was very comforting to know that they were being looked after by a fellow cat-lover. One of my cats can be a little feisty, but Kayla was patient with him and got along with him just fine. We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“We booked Jo to cat sit our one cat for a little more than a week. It was our first time having a cat sitter, and Jo was outstanding the whole duration. We had well written updates every visit with multiple pictures of our girl. Jo has a great eye for detail and diligently tended to our cat's needs. Jo was greatly accommodating and even left her a couple of well appreciated goodbye gifts. We were confident from Day 1 and the whole way through that we were in good hands. We'll be looking into Jo's availability the next time we need a cat sitter.”

You will receive detailed daily photo "pupdates" and regular wellness reports, guaranteeing you complete peace of mind while you are away.
“Alanna was great to work with. She answered questions quickly and was very flexible to work around our schedules. Most important, our kitties loved her! They can be picky, but she took such good care of them. Will book again with her.”
“She is the best. I have two cats and one can be pretty shy but he was so happy to be around her and get attention. Both of my cats love her and I was happy to know they were in safe hands and getting loved on”
“Shelby did a wonderful job during the drop-in visit with Cooper! Every instruction was followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and care went into making sure Cooper felt comfortable and happy. Shelby was both professional and incredibly kind, creating such a positive experience from start to finish. It’s such a relief knowing Cooper is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Kristin always takes the best care of our boys! She is a great communicator and was able to manage a difficult situation with one of our cats that decided to act up while we were gone. She is very professional to work with, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great petsitter.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin and couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand my cat’s personality, favorite toy and treats which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my cat was well cared for. It was clear my cat wasn’t just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and given attention and affection.”
“Hannah is really great to work with. She is professional, responsible, kind and dependable. She has a way with animals. My shy, semi feral kitty fell in love with her after a couple of days. That's remarkable! I highly recommend Hannah to sit for your pets.”
“Very nice and helpful. I especially appreciate the updates and photos i received of the visits. I was nervous to leave them alone but if you need someone to care for your pets Chloe is the girl!”
About: Aloha! I am a huge animal lover from Hawaii! I have two pups of my own that I raised healthy and happy. They are both really friendly and energetic and only one of them lives with me at the moment. I have a fenced backyard! Im all about love, I see animals as children that always need love and affection. I’d be more than happy to even train them with treats. Like sit, shake, lay down, and stay. I’ll always send picture updates because I know how it is being away from your little one. A little about me: I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii. I’ve raised my own pets since I was 10 and always been taught to treat animals with love.

“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!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

About: I was raised on a farm and have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and pets of all ages. I am currently working full-time from home. I am able to provide company all day and/or leave at most times to take a furry friend on a walk. Since I work from home I am able to spend the majority of my day with pets as my schedule usually allows me to have a lot of flexibility.
About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.
“Tami took my pup's anxiety in stride and she clearly won him over quickly. He was snuggling up to her and clearly had a great day. Thanks for taking care of our puppy for the day so we could take a tour of Hearst Castle!”
“Thomas was super responsive and friendly, and really helped us out in a pinch!! Thomas took the best care of of our Boston and provided updates so we didn't have to worry at all. So thankful for this service! Their 3 pugs are the best!! 🐾❤️”
“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!”
“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 😄”

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.

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 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'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”
“I have noticed major improvements in my Rottweiler's separation anxiety and overall well-being since Aline started walking her. There's no doubt that this is because of Aline's reliability, kind spirit and helpfulness. It is so reassuring to know she is there for my dog when I can't be!”

“Riley made my first experience with rover.com a great one. She was able to fit me in on short notice. She quickly covered excellent pertinent questions then set off to explore my hilly neighborhood. She gave me a useful report on her return (I’m a new dog parent just adopted) and clearly worked hard at giving my dog some good exercise. Thanks Riley!”

To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.
“Met up with Hannah for a meet and greet with my dog and she was great. My husky is a tough guy to walk sometimes if you lack confidence but she took him on and had full control. I’m excited to continue to work with Hannah and for her and my dog to build a relationship. Can’t wait for the next walk!”
“Kristen went above and beyond. Excellent communications and coordination including calling Rover for me to address a scheduling problem. Kristen appreciated our pup and worked with my wife to coordinate walks. 100% recommend Kristen.”

“Lauren was wonderful with my dog, Charlie - she accommodated his special needs and was loving and caring with him. I always know he has had good care when I come home and he’s excited to see me but is also calm and centered. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: Available for dog walking and babysitting! I don’t have any pets myself so okay with dogs/cats that don’t like or can’t be around other animals 👍🏻 Available in Grover Beach for walking, boarding, house check ins, any pet related needs! I set my own work schedule, don’t tend to be away from home for more then a couple hours at a time, and I live with my grandmother who loves to sit and talk animals so they’ll get plenty of love and attention! I live in condo near a dog park, No children or pets live in the house, no toxic houseplants or choking hazards. Can board overnight
“Niccola was GREAT!!!!! Our 2 pups loved having her backyard to romp in and having her babysit them gave us a couple of days to relax and enjoy the local area without them LOL! We will DEFINITELY use her again when in the area and would recommend her highly to anyone who needs to board their fur babies.”
“Thomas and his family took such great care of our baby girl. She had the best time with their adorable pugs and was super tuckered out after (which is always a good thing when you have a puppy!!). Will definitely use Thomas for pup-sitting again!”
“Alicia was lovely to work with. She responded quickly to our need for a sitter and gave our pup a home away from home while we were away. I think he really felt part of their family during his stay. Thank you, Alicia!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi pet parents! My names Lauren and I have worked with animals for 10+ years. I have two dogs of my own that would love to help socialize your pups! I have experience working at a dog daycare/kennel. I also have experience with working on leash manners, socialization, and administering medications. I would love to have your pups join my pack on a nice walk, evening hike, or beach walk! Pet care is a number one priority! I will work with each pet parent to make sure both our schedules work for the pets needs and care level! Pets are always welcome in my home! They will receive the same love and care as if they are my own! Pets will be in our gated yard or enjoying free time at the park close by!
“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.”
“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!”
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 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 .”
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!
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life, I have a chocolate lab puppy of my own and she has been to training and she is very well behaved. I would love to meet your animal and take good care and help them learn skills as well Pet care fits into my life at mostly any time. I am mostly home throughout the week and can be home or away at anytime In my own home I love teaching them boundaries like no couch or bed, but at the right time inviting them on those spots with you. In other people’s homes I respect their preferences and allow the animal to do what owners would like. I live with my best friend Marlie (roomate). We have similar experience and knowledge with dogs. Usually when one of us isn’t available to accept an offer the other one is so you may get to meet us both.
“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. ❤️🐶❤️”
