“This was Josie's first stay with Doug, and she seemed to enjoy the experience. She had room to roam in his large backyard and to chill out in her favorite spot in the livingroom. She slept well in her crate at night, always a good sign of contentment. She plans to return for a second, longer visit soon.”
“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.”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’m was around 5, I grew up with poodles and we raised them . I would help the neighbors with their cats,dogs,birds and bunnies I currently work for full-time, but on the weekends I enjoy hanging out with dogs. I own one of my own. I do enjoy walking them taking to the park having quality time with them. I can provide a fenced yard. There is a park a block away from my home. We can walk to to have open play or play on a leash.Or one on one play in door or in my fenced yard
“What can I say… Josh was amazing. Excellent communications and has a perfect home for dogs. 1st time leaving my GSD with someone. He reassured me that my pup would be well cared for. A+ rating. Thank you again for taking care of my girl while I was gone!”
“Rachel was one of the best Rover’s I’ve ever hired in 5 years of using the App!! She was very responsive and accommodating. She also sent pictures and updates everyday. I wished I lived in the area cause she was amazing!”
“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“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!”
About: I like to walk the dogs daily around the Atascadero Lake. I have a decent size fenced backyard with room to run and use my poop scooper daily. 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.
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“Gracie had a fantastic time with Robyn! She had her picture taken frequently with daily updates sent to me. She made friends with June, Poppy, and Sadie. Robyn was so gracious to make topping for Gracie's kibble, when mom didn't send her with enough. Best of all, Robyn volunteered to bathe Gracie before pick-up so she would smell nice for us!! We look forward to many more stays with Robyn!”
“Andrew met us and our dogs before their stay. He accommodated an early drop off and responded immediately to all of our texts. He is easy to work with and we will certainly request him again.”
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.
“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.”
“Benny stayed for almost 3 weeks and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with his stay. Krissy has such a great set up for dogs, so much outdoor play. I received daily updates and Benny came home exhausted! Will use again and recommend to everyone I know with a dog!!”
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.

I absolutely recommend Helona for any of your pet needs - she has been wonderful!!”
“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 had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.
About: Cats have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for my two cats at home in Minnesota for many years, handling everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime, cuddles, and keeping them happy and comfortable. Last year, I also fostered two cats, helping them settle into a new environment and feel safe while they waited for their next home. I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
“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.”
About: I have hands-on pet care experience for two dogs, a Rottweiler and a pit bull mix, at home and volunteering 3 years caring for adoptable dogs for Animal Rescue Recon including daily feeding, walking, and clean up with varying temperaments, energy levels, and needs. As a full-time student at Cal Poly, my schedule allows me to be available Friday through Sunday to dedicate my time to feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable care for dogs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide timely feeding, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor each pets’ behavior, follow any specific instructions, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.
“Abbey has dropped in on our cats several times while we're out of town. She's responsive and super easy to work with. I especially appreciate that she always sends us pics of the kitties, which gives us so much peace of mind when we're far away. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, so I’m very familiar with their different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every cat is unique—some are playful and social, while others need a quieter, more patient approach—and I’m comfortable adapting to both. I have experience with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats of different ages and temperaments. I always take the time to build trust and make sure each cat feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.
“I am so grateful to have found Jazz! She took care of my bubs like he was family. My older boy has a few medical needs (pills, dosing, etc.) and she is an absolute pro. Her personal pet parent as well as volunteer experience with special needs critters gave me confidence she would manage everything competently. But even more importantly, you will immediately see her commitment and heart for animals. Having someone you trust to look after your love-bugs while you are gone is priceless.”
About: I've owned cats and taken care of them for multiple years, so I totally get their whole vibe. I know some are super cuddly and want constant attention, while others are a bit more independent and just need their space—and I'm totally cool with both! I don't just pop in and leave. I treat every cat like they're my own. I really make sure to give them all the love and attention they deserve so they feel safe and happy while you're away. For me, getting to hang out with your cat isn't just a job, it's one of the best parts of my day!

Always making sure they are in a secure safe area, whether inside the home or in the yard, always checking for fresh water and making sure they are fed on time, playing with them and giving them the care they deserve!

“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!”
“Truly excellent for our high energy dogs who love people and other dogs. They got lots of activity, lots of attention and most of all plenty of love while we were away. Highly recommend!!”
“Rachel was wonderful and took great care of our puppy Ellie while we attended a graduation. She took Ellie on walks and playtime at the park. I wished we lived closer as we’d use Rachel again!”
“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.”
“Joan was great and very patient with Leilani, who is nervous around new people and other pets. We appreciated her care and understanding in assisting Leilani to feel comfortable in a new environment. Would highly recommend Joan to others.”

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!
“Sandra is the ideal pet sitter! She’s friendly, easygoing, and experienced. I could tell right away that Maple felt comfortable with her, which was very reassuring. We got several pictures, and communication was excellent. Lucky for us that Sandra was available to take care of Maple on short notice. We would book her services again in a heartbeat!”

“JOSH was great to work with. He was very prompt and also very flexible if a time needed to change on occasion. He and my dog, Shiloh, seem to bond quite well over the weeks that I needed JOSH‘s walking services. I highly recommend JOSH for taking care of your pet, without reservation.”
About: From drop-ins to overnights, let me be your dog's best friend while you're away. Care includes feeding, medications, walks, cuddle time, ball throwing - whatever your dog needs and likes. Semi-retired so plenty of time to love your critters. Unless your animal prefers a short visit (sometimes shy or reclusive cats) I like to spend at least 45 minutes with your pet (s) during drop in visits. Obviously on overnights I spend a much longer time. I know the peace of mind that comes from having a trusted pet-sitter and I want to provide that peace of mind for you. You know your animals best so I will always follow your instructions to the letter. Rest assured that their welfare and comfort is ALWAYS my number one concern.
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.
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 36 year old stay at home mom and wife. I have a 13 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 have watched multiple ages of dogs! Some middle aged, all the way to 5 months! I love going on walks and will be happy to have a furry friend to join me. I have helped clean up after them, feeding, grooming, and just hanging out with them! I am a college student but have complete access to a car! I can stay overnight, I can get up early, stay late or even pop in to the house to make sure they get lunch! I will meet their expectations. I couldn't just go over to a clients house and just feed a dog. I would feed them, play with them, etc.
About: With years of experience raising huskies and volunteering at my local animal shelter, I’ve learned how to connect with pets of all temperaments. From high-energy pups to shy rescues, I give each animal the patience, care, and affection they deserve! I am a student at Cuesta College and plan on continuing my studies at Cal Poly SLO! I love am flexible and will work with the time frames of your needs! If I can sense that the animal is not super comfortable around me at first, I will make sure to give them their space until they are ready to be my friend!

About: I have several years of experience caring for animals and have been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets. As an FFA member, I am comfortable working with many different types of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with proper animal care. I have owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am dependable, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I am available on weekdays in the early mornings and after 3:00 PM, making it easy to fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my schedule. On weekends, I am available in the mornings and can provide attentive care, exercise, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, companionship, and enrichment they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise. Pets will never be left unattended in the backyard, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they remain safe. If a dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated for their routine, I can easily accommodate that. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and provide a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for.
“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 am the biggest animal lover ever!!! I have owned dogs and cats since I was a baby. My family owns a farm at home, so I have experience with all animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, you name it! I have experience with training puppies, as well as handling larger animals. I would love to meet your furry (or maybe not so furry you never know) friend!!! I’m currently only working part-time over the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m currently also taking a very light course load at Cal poly and no classes over the Summer, so I’ll never have to “squeeze in” your pet. I am very aware of my surroundings and understand when an animal is being put in an unsafe environment from my time working on my farm and farms at home. I know when an animal shouldn’t interact with another, when to keep an animal away from another, when to crate, and when to release the animal from a leash.
About: *If this is your first time booking a sitter on Rover, use code BELLAC07359 for $20 off! Hello! My name is Bella and I am a current Cal Poly student studying environmental science and pre-law. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and will be a great help with your pet care! I am no stranger to the extra care that elderly or baby animals need. I spent my childhood growing up near a farm taking care of animals of all sizes. While I took care of livestock, I also cared for the four dogs and three cats that lived in the house. Because of this, I am able to care for any pet, big or small, timid or energetic. I am currently a student at Cal Poly, therefore I am able to care for your animals before 11 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I am free on weekends all day. I have no problem waking up as early as needed or staying the night to pet sit. I am excellent at following directions and will take any schedules given to me seriously. I have the upmost respect for other people’s homes and pets.
About: I am a reliable and responsible individual. I have been around pets my whole life, big and small. I know how much these friends mean to you, they are in good hands! I am super available! I can walk any day of the week. I just finished up my last quarter at Cal Poly so I am looking to stay active and busy until graduation! I am not able to accommodate pets at my apartment, but of course I can travel to homes and be there under the pets own conditions. I will always make sure the pets are safe and comfortable. I will follow any directions given.

“This was Josie's first stay with Doug, and she seemed to enjoy the experience. She had room to roam in his large backyard and to chill out in her favorite spot in the livingroom. She slept well in her crate at night, always a good sign of contentment. She plans to return for a second, longer visit soon.”
“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.”
“What can I say… Josh was amazing. Excellent communications and has a perfect home for dogs. 1st time leaving my GSD with someone. He reassured me that my pup would be well cared for. A+ rating. Thank you again for taking care of my girl while I was gone!”
“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“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!”
About: I like to walk the dogs daily around the Atascadero Lake. I have a decent size fenced backyard with room to run and use my poop scooper daily. 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.
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“Gracie had a fantastic time with Robyn! She had her picture taken frequently with daily updates sent to me. She made friends with June, Poppy, and Sadie. Robyn was so gracious to make topping for Gracie's kibble, when mom didn't send her with enough. Best of all, Robyn volunteered to bathe Gracie before pick-up so she would smell nice for us!! We look forward to many more stays with Robyn!”
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.
“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.”
“Benny stayed for almost 3 weeks and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with his stay. Krissy has such a great set up for dogs, so much outdoor play. I received daily updates and Benny came home exhausted! Will use again and recommend to everyone I know with a dog!!”
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.
“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!”
“Kara is a gem! I hope that she’s open to taking our dogs because I felt 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She was very approachable, easy to communicate with and sent us pictures and updates.”
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.
“Sara was knowledgeable, caring and a pleasure to work with to take care of my old dog for a few days. It gave us flexibility to go sightseeing without leaving dog in car. It was not an option. Thanks to Sara.”
About: I have fostered two kittens in my current apartment, as well as cared for a dog and two cats in my previous home. I love animals! I am working a part time job in Paso Robles, but shifts are usually mid morning to early evening. I work a few days out of the week, and otherwise I have free time to spend with the pet(s)! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I always follow each pet's routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while you're away. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work 3–4 days a week, and my evenings are usually very open, giving me plenty of flexibility and quality time to spend with your pets.
