“Lauren and her family are nothing short of fantastic. They watched our 14 year old pupper, Duke, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a bit nervous- but Lauren and her family made it such a positive, comforting experience. Lauren was incredibly communicative throughout the planning, and even during Duke's stay. Her family has a genuine love for animals- I can't even begin to overstate it. One of the sweetest moments? I came to pick Duke up from his sleepover and, as we were walking out the door, Duke actually walked back in just to say goodbye to the kids. That's how we knew he felt safe and happy there. We already have plans for Duke to have future sleepovers with Lauren and her family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. She and her family are absolute gems.”

“Heidi and Phil were simply amazing. I've used rover with some other care takers and these two are head and shoulders above the rest. I got videos and pictures every day and live updates. It made me feel so comfortable that my dog was in good hands. I will be booking with them in the future. I highly recommend Heidi you won't be sorry! Thank you Heidi for taking such good care of Bailey.”
“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!!!!”
“Niccola and her dogs are so great, when I picked up my dog, he was so tired from playing all day. I look forward to using her again and definitely will recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies taken care of.”
“Katie was an amazing pet sitter for Gracie, our four-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. She kept in touch with us about how Gracie was doing and even sent pictures with her taking Gracie on a walk at the beach! I will definitely call on Katie again next time we are in town. Thank you, Katie!”
“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!”

“Bonnie is great with my kittens. She keeps the schedule and has outstanding communication skills. I appreciate her flexibility and desire to do what is best for the kittens and pet parents.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Josie is the best with my cat! She is exceptionally kind and very caring. She was prompt with communication and attentive to the various med / food needs of my geriatric cat. So happy I found such a great cat sitter - thanks Josie!”
“Riley was absolutely amazing! She came by to do drop-in visits for my two cats, rabbit, fish & plants for two weeks. She was very communicative, and bonded with my shy pets quickly! Coming home to a clean, well cared for home and very content pets was exactly what I had hoped for. Riley went above and beyond, and I’ll want her to come back any time that I’m away. Thank you!! 🫶🏼”
“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.”
“Angelia did a great job keeping my cat comfortable and entertained while I was away! She sent nice pictures after each visit which really gave me a peace of mind! I’ll use her for future trips!”
“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.”

About: While going to college I walked approximately 10 dogs (individually) per month with occasional 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable with all size dogs; Chihuahua to Great Danes. If the dog likes to run, I’m up for that too. I like to be active and I know some dogs need a good run to get out their energy. I’m open to pet care. My house is pet friendly, and has a backyard enclosed with a 6 ft fence, gate that locks and a grassy area. I care for pets as if they were my own. I can give baths, make sure they are fed on time - including medication, and bathroom breaks, and most importantly walks or runs.
About: I once owned 5 cats at once! Cats are simple creatures but really respond to some brush time, being spoken to or just curtious petting and attention. They also can reduce your anxiety. It’s a give and take game I’m willing to play. Cats are a true blessing!

“Josie was great! My dog immediately felt comfortable when I dropped him off. She gave updates throughout the day and was always quick to respond. I highly recommend her and would come back again.”
“Matt was really nice and I felt like my dog was in good hands. He was great with communication and response times and I would definitely choose him again. My dog left happy and my family had a chance to do activities that we couldn't normally do while traveling with a dog.”
“Mr. Mack had a great time with Lauren and family. He feels right at home in their home. He had play time, cuddle time, walk time and lunch time -- all bases covered! We will find future dates to request daycare again because we are 100% confident Mr. Mack is well loved and adored in their care.”
“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!”
“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!”
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! I’m working from home right now, and I am looking forward to helping your pup during the workday, or when there are trips that your pup can’t come on! I will take good care of your pup’s needs, and look out for safety in your home and out and about! Please let me know of any special needs
“We had an amazing experience with Sheridan! She was incredibly caring and sweet with our pet, making sure all their needs were met throughout the day. What really stood out were the picture updates she sent, which put our minds at ease and let us see how happy and well-taken care of our pet was. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends!”
“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: 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.
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I currently work in public safety, which has taught me to be extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and calm in any situation—skills I bring into every pet stay and visit. At home, I offer a safe, clean, and loving environment for boarding and daycare. Your pup will be treated like part of the family and will enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. I also provide walks, drop-in visits, and pick-up/drop-off options to make things as easy as possible for you. I’m experienced with administering medications and working with dogs that need a little extra care or structure. I’ve also worked alongside local dog trainers and understand how to support good behavior and routines. I share my home with two friendly doodles who love making new friends and help create a fun, social environment for visiting pups. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. With my services, you will receive text updates and photos to enjoy while you are on vacation! 🐾 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!
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.
“Shannon was awesome— she responded quickly (prior to booking and during stay) and provided periodic updates throughout the day. She is great with both of my maltipoos! They warmed up to her and her sweet doggies. Both of them had their tongues out when I picked them up!m. Couldn’t have asked for a better daycare for the pups!”
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.
“Oli always has the best time with Katie! They go out on adventures to the park and to the beach, 2 to 3 walks a day, and they also snuggle on the couch. At the end of the day we have a happy and relaxed dog, as well as lots of pictures and a summary of all the fun they had. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our Oli receives from Katie!”
“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: Your dog is as much an individual as you are and we are here to help your puppies to have exactly the experience that they need. I am a life long dog lover and have had many dogs over the years (work travel prevents me from ownership right now). Over the years my household (me, adult son, grand daughter (6)) have adopted or fostered a wide variety of dogs from a puppy to be trained and moved on to forever home to senior dogs who ultimately ended up with their forever home right here. I am excellent at giving medication (was a LPN for humans), long walks that I enjoy as much as the dog, and am open to any dog related service your dog may need. I will always treat your dog like the wonderful individual they are. I am open to any size dog and ANY breed (I have great relationships with pit bulls, Chihuahua's, and other high difficulty breads) All dogs must have flee control and be up on vaccinations (and licensed). I was reading the Rover information for customers and it said you should ask about how much cuddle time, playtime, and walks cost. Your pet will get all the cuddles, walks, and playtime they can stand for free. I do this because everybody in my house loves dogs and want to make new furry friends. Feel free to contact me with any questions I am a work from home writer, artist, photographer, and journalist, so I have lots of open time. I do travel for work in the summer months which does leave some days completely unavailable, but otherwise ready to walk from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. There is no other way to say it, I love dogs and will treat your dog with more respect than most humans receive. The walks will be well planned and any care will be exactly what you requested.

I have nurturing spirit and a life long love for animals, I pride myself on being a protector and a friend to your furry family members, ensuring they receive the highest level of support. Aiming to meet their each and every need with tender care. No request is too big or too small when it comes to your beloved companions. With a special expertise in caring for geriatric dogs aged 12(+) older, as well as cats, I am committed to meeting and exceeding the expectations of my clients. Your pets deserve the best, and I am fully supportive of that. I have about 8 clients I house/pet sit when they travel and I just absolutely have a passion for pet caregiving. I currently am a student, I used to work for the state preschools, and a nonprofit that services persons with developmental disabilities. Now,I am happy to be a registered behavioral therapist. I just enjoy serving my community members and their pets! When I am in your home to care for your family pet I let them know I am there primarily to cater to their pets needs. Playtime, feeding, potty time, walks/runs, pets, treats, meds* if needed and cuddle/quiet time. I also make sure I leave a clean and tidy house. Unless noted. I know I enjoy coming home to a clean house. Trash out, clean sink/dishes(pet used), swept/vacuum, litter box, yard pooper- scooped. I am happy to accommodate other requests. (Depending upon request there may be a nominal fee)

“Caitlin goes above and beyond the call of duty and it shows! My doggo is super attached to me so wasn’t so excited to go on a walk with her on their first day. Because she took the time to build his trust and spends extra time with him to build an alliance, I have nothing but great things to say about her!”

About: I grew up with animals and have always had a special connection with them. I have worked with animals of all walks of life in an animal shelter & truly enjoy getting to witness their success. When working at the animal shelter I used to take dogs on walks and to the play pens where they would socialize with potential new families and other dogs. While they were in the play pens it was my job to ensure things ran smoothly and to deescalate any situations that might arise. Being able to celebrate in an animals victories and see how much they have grown & learned over time is like nothing else! I am wholly committed to anything your pet may need during our time together, no interruptions unless there is an emergency. If you have any questions about availability outside of my specified time frames please feel free to reach out and I will see what I can do! I would never do something to put your animals in harms way, I am incredibly thorough and will follow any specified instructions. If I have any questions about your pets needs I will be sure to seek clarification before taking any actions.
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
“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!”

About: Not only have I had dogs and cats as family members for the last 40 years, I've taken care of friends and family's dogs and cats. I was blessed to have Max for 17 years, a gentle boy who was blind and deaf in his senior years. If your pet has special needs I am confident I can give them the proper care needed. I currently have 2 dogs, a poodle pup who is an adorable and fun little rascal and a sweet terrior mix who is my walking buddy. They will be cared for at home by my husband if I'm taking care of your pet. I'm very active and happy to be retired. I love spending time walking my dogs and being with the 24/7 which of course is not possible when you're working or traveling. I understand how important your best friend is in good hands while you're at work or away and I'll be available to walk your dog as needed. My drop by visits include feeding, fresh water, potty and exercise breaks. I'll follow your instructions and "house rules" as requested. If your dog or cat has special needs or requires medication they are in good hands. If your dog likes to take long walks or fetch a ball at the dog park I'm in!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I’ve had puppies and I’ve have senior dogs as well. I am looking into completing a vet tech program so I can work with animals as my career.

In my home, I have one dog, one cat, two guinea pigs, I am open to staying in clients homes as well though.

About: While going to college I walked approximately 10 dogs (individually) per month with occasional 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable with all size dogs; Chihuahua to Great Danes. If the dog likes to run, I’m up for that too. I like to be active and I know some dogs need a good run to get out their energy. I’m open to pet care. My house is pet friendly, and has a backyard enclosed with a 6 ft fence, gate that locks and a grassy area. I care for pets as if they were my own. I can give baths, make sure they are fed on time - including medication, and bathroom breaks, and most importantly walks or runs.
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.
“Angelia took great care of Charlie. Took her on a different stroll than her usual walk. She was happy when I arrived home, and everything was in great shape. Would not hesitate to ask her to walk Charlie in the future!”

About: I groomed dogs in 2022 & 2023 and developed genuine deep relationships that will last a lifetime. I truly appreciate each pets characteristics & personality. I’ve enjoyed thoroughly the time I’m blessed with in serving the communities furry friends! I’m available full time right now and am interested in short or extended stays I use the gym for an hour, 3 times a week but flexible there. Ready for new jobs to come my way. I’m always trying to insure pet safety 1st. I ensure they are heard and pay particular attention to changes in behaviors as these are tell tell signs of anxiety etc. Walking to bond and encouraging play is always pertinent . Talking in a loving way where they feel loved and ready to respond is vital to building trust.

“Lauren and her family are nothing short of fantastic. They watched our 14 year old pupper, Duke, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a bit nervous- but Lauren and her family made it such a positive, comforting experience. Lauren was incredibly communicative throughout the planning, and even during Duke's stay. Her family has a genuine love for animals- I can't even begin to overstate it. One of the sweetest moments? I came to pick Duke up from his sleepover and, as we were walking out the door, Duke actually walked back in just to say goodbye to the kids. That's how we knew he felt safe and happy there. We already have plans for Duke to have future sleepovers with Lauren and her family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. She and her family are absolute gems.”

It made me feel so comfortable that my dog was in good hands. I will be booking with them in the future. I highly recommend Heidi you won't be sorry! Thank you Heidi for taking such good care of Bailey.”

“Sunny was treated like an extension of Alicia’s family and was so well-loved while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing he was in a loving home and it was like he had his own vacation while we were away. Great family and perfect yard for a dog - highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I currently work in public safety, which has taught me to be extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and calm in any situation—skills I bring into every pet stay and visit. At home, I offer a safe, clean, and loving environment for boarding and daycare. Your pup will be treated like part of the family and will enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. I also provide walks, drop-in visits, and pick-up/drop-off options to make things as easy as possible for you. I’m experienced with administering medications and working with dogs that need a little extra care or structure. I’ve also worked alongside local dog trainers and understand how to support good behavior and routines. I share my home with two friendly doodles who love making new friends and help create a fun, social environment for visiting pups. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. With my services, you will receive text updates and photos to enjoy while you are on vacation! 🐾 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!
“Adrienne is a wonderful human being. She is also a responsible, caring, affectionate and communicative sitter. I highly recommend her if you want peace of mind! We had a great experience with her caring for our fur baby. She took him on walks and even to the beach.”
“Kambry was very responsive and was able to watch for our dog Goose on short notice for the evening. Goose can be uneasy and reactive, but Kambry was able to handle everything super well with care and understanding. She is definitely an experienced sitter and I recommend her to anyone searching in the SLO area!”
