“Miki was great! I would highly recommend her. I really like that she boarded my dog only, as she has two small dogs of her own. Miki gave me daily updates on how Annie was doing and sent me lots of pictures and videos through the Rover app. I would definitely use her again. Her two young daughters and husband were very sweet too! They took really good care of my precious girl.”
“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.”
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 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
“Monique was wonderful! We have engaged her as our sitter twice now: once for an overnight stay and once for a 13 day vacation! Monique kept in contact with us every day and sent pictures. Our girls are very used to their normal daily routine but they seemed to adapt to Monique wonderfully! A very telling moment for me was when we got back from vacation and I picked the dogs up. Got the dogs in the car and they were very glad to see me but as soon as they realized we were leaving without Monique they were like: Wait! You forgot her! They soon settled down but it was obvious they did not like leaving her. We can STRONGLY recommend Monique as a perfect sitter for your pup(s). There will be no one else for us when we need a sitter in the future.”
“This was the perfect environment and care for my very very social and energetic dog. At one point.my dog was experiencing some anxiety, so upon request, they remedied this with mixing some.pumpkin with her food. This was tjsn the perfect balance for her moving through the rest of her visit. This is my first booking using Rover since other dog boarding facilities were becoming to hard on her nervous system. I am bery happy I did! If I am ever in need of care again in this location I wouldnt hesitate to use these sweet humans! The children in the home also really added to Calis visit, bringing mutual joy during the entire stay. Thanks Tara and Jed, and family!”

“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!”

“Riley took care of my cats for a weekend and she did a good job. My cats are older but they get a bit of separation anxiety and I worry about them being alone.

“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 😄”

“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.”
“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!”

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
“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!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but Niccola had excellent communication and easy booking! She made us very comfortable and was extremely personable and professional. My anxious pup seemed to be comfortable very quickly. When I picked him up he was so tired from playing and having a great stay. I would 100% rebook and would definitely recommend Niccola as a sitter to any of my friends and family!”
“Katie was an absolute lifesaver taking care of my dog while I was attending an event. My dog settled in immediately and seemed excited from the point she walked through the door, and almost didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. Katie was responsive and sent me pictures through the night and it was all around amazing!”
About: 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) We will discuss your system of punishment and reward so that we are on the same page. 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.
“Absolutely fantastic! Matthew took fabulous care of our pup! We were visiting from out of town and planned a day at the water park that wasn't pet friendly. He accepted right away, asked all the right questions. Just an all around kind person who's great with dogs! 10000% recommend.”

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.

At home, I offer a safe, clean, and loving environment for boarding and daycare.

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: Hi there! I’m Miki, based in Arroyo Grande, CA. I’m back on Rover after taking a break for a while. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of pet sitting experience — both personally and on Rover. At home, we have: • Lucy, our sweet senior Shih Tzu who loves her naps and quiet time • Anko, a playful 1-year-old Lab mix who’s board-and-train certified and loves making new doggie friends 🐶✨ Whether your pup prefers cozy relaxation or a fun playmate, our home offers the perfect balance. We take long walks, visit local dog parks (like Laguna Lake), and treat every dog like a member of the family. ✅ Dog-loving household ✅ I work from home 100% ✅ Experienced with both seniors and high-energy pups ✅ Safe, warm, and communication-friendly environment Looking forward to meeting your pup and providing the “feels like home” care my returning clients know and love! 🐾✨ I stay at home pretty much all day every day as I work from home. Especially when your doggy stays with us, I don’t leave the house unless it’s really necessary or go to park with doggies. Our front yard door stays open all day so doggies can go in and out whenever they want. I have a fenced yard, so they can play outside anytime they want. I usually leave the back yard door open so dogs can go out whenever they want.
About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach.

About: Hi! My name is Denae, I am a central coast native that works in education. I have a beautiful German Shepard husky named Harris - we love being outside and exploring! I have a special bond with animals and look forward to walking your doggy. I am very punctual and reliable, hope to hear from you soon! I currently work as a school psychologist during the school year. However, I am on summer vacation right now! During the year, I am off on the weekends. I love to exercise pups and give them the TLC they deserve I am a well organized professional. I currently have dogs of my own that I take pride in caring for.

About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.

“Miki was great! I would highly recommend her. I really like that she boarded my dog only, as she has two small dogs of her own. Miki gave me daily updates on how Annie was doing and sent me lots of pictures and videos through the Rover app. I would definitely use her again. Her two young daughters and husband were very sweet too! They took really good care of my precious girl.”
“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.”

“This was the perfect environment and care for my very very social and energetic dog. At one point.my dog was experiencing some anxiety, so upon request, they remedied this with mixing some.pumpkin with her food. This was tjsn the perfect balance for her moving through the rest of her visit. This is my first booking using Rover since other dog boarding facilities were becoming to hard on her nervous system. I am bery happy I did! If I am ever in need of care again in this location I wouldnt hesitate to use these sweet humans! The children in the home also really added to Calis visit, bringing mutual joy during the entire stay. Thanks Tara and Jed, and family!”

About: 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) We will discuss your system of punishment and reward so that we are on the same page. 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.
“Ziggy’s stay with Marin and her family was awesome. The drop off and pick up were seamless and easily orchestrated. Ziggy had lots of entertainment provided with his frisbee and the other dogs. I received lots of updates and pictures about Ziggy while I was gone.He seemed in good spirits when I picked him up. I was easily able to lengthen Ziggy’s stay with Marin when I needed to stay out of town longer than expected. Thanks”

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Our dog Bentley had such a wonderful time with Shantal and her dog Kala. They went on fun hikes and walks each day which was perfect for my high energy dog. Shantal was a great communicator listening to all the details of our dog's care. I felt confident Bentley was in good hands while we were away. She sent us fun photos of their time out and about. I think Bentley had a blast! Thanks so much Shantal and Kala! We look forward to having Bentley stay with you again!”
