“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.”
“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.”
“Douglas was an exceptional host for our dog, Ziggy. The daily photos and videos gave me great comfort. Knowing that Ziggy was in such good hands, and I could enjoy my trip! Douglas’ experience caring for dogs was very apparent, I could tell Ziggy felt right at home with him from the moment they met. We’re already hoping he’s available for our future dog sitting needs!”
“Where do I even begin?! First off 5 stars is NOT even enough to say how amazing Krystal was with my Furbaby. Krystal was absolutely lovely and communicated well. I haven’t used Rover in over ten years and I was very nervous about leaving my dog with anyone I didn’t know. I had a short time frame to find someone which also added to my stress and worry. However, once I met Krystal I felt that my dog would be just fine. It was almost like her and Krystal had met before because Krystal and her family made Cleo feel right at home. They were patient, kind, caring, attentive and all around a great family. I would leave my dog with Krystal again any day. She sent pictures and videos daily to ensure I knew how my dog was doing. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting!”
“Monique was great! We scheduled last minute for an out of town trip and there were no issues, Monique happily accepted our request. She was such welcoming and kind person. We received updates with pictures of our pup and he seemed like he was right at home. Such a good experience with Monique and we’d definitely request her again.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.

I HIGHLY recommend them and will without a doubt choose Mary & Teg to watch my little girl every time!! Thank you!!!!”

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.
“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!”
“We had a last minute cancellation by a dog sitter and Rover was recommended. We selected Thomas and Lisa after having a meeting with our frenchie and their pugs and family. Our baby was so happy there, she went to the park daily, had friends to play with and was given love like we give. Pictures were sent to us daily, and we will likely have future playdates as she loved being with their family. This will definitely be our go to family for any of our pet sitting needs!!!”

“Riley is the best. This is the third time I have had her watch my kitties and I feel so comfortable and happy that they get to spend time with her. I know they feel comfortable and she really cares about their well being. She makes sure they have everything they need and that they are loved and get some playtime. Your pets could not be in better hands”
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 has been absolutely amazing! I recently relocated for a job and had a schedule change and she so graciously accommodated me. She even made the changes on the app for me which was so helpful! I felt at ease knowing she was looking after my cats! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had cats my whole life. I currently have 2 myself at this moment. I can clip their nails. Brush their hair and give flea medicine. Whenever my family members need help with their cats needs such as nail clipping I’m always willing to help
About: I have grown up fostering kittens, taking care of kittens, and cats.. I know how to administer medications, and know cat behavior. I will always respect the boundaries of your cat. On a walk, I will always try to say hi to a cat and become friends, one of my favorite hobbies.
“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.”
“Zara did an amazing job taking care of our Coco kitty! She was great about sending us lots of pictures and notes about her visits with Coco. This helped us enjoy our stay away so much more knowing that Coco was being well cared for and loved. Can't thank Zara enough for her excellent service and support.”
About: Loving cats should be an obvious trait in any cat sitter, but the care I have for them exceeds a typical persons. I personally have one cat and he and I are each other's best friend. I know the bond between a person and their soul cat is something special and I want to make sure every cat I take care of is treated in the best way possible when their owner is out. I have dealt with so many different cats and have always found myself loving each one as they all have their own personality.
“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!”

“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: 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
“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!”
“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!”
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’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.

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“Left my sweet boy with Niccola for a week and based on her great communication and feedback, he did amazing and was a happy boy when I picked him up. I would choose Niccola every time I need him to go somewhere. She’s so great!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have a 13 year old dog named Sammy and a 7 year old dog named Martin in Colombia. Being around dogs has taught me a lot about different personalities, routines, and the care they need at different stages of life. I also help care for my friends’ dog, Perry, when they travel, so I have experience with daily routines, giving medication when needed, monitoring feeding and weight, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe. I understand that every dog is different, and I would treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is flexible and I make time for pet care throughout my week. I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I always follow the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication schedules if needed, and any specific care requests from owners. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
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: 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.
“Thomas and his family provided a calm and positive environment for Rocky, who was shy for awhile before he made friends with everyone. The family pugs are so cute with their individual personalities, and the other houseguests were very friendly. We loved the photos and videos showing our happy boy. We'll definitely want to use Thomas when we're back in the area!”

I am experienced in taking care of dogs of all sizes from puppies to elderly dogs. I am always super excited to meet any animal and I love them all, from excited puppies to older less energetic pups. I have a great amount of experience in multiple animals including: - Dogs 🐶 - Cats 🐱 - Small Rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, rats) - Birds of Many Different Species 🐦 - Farm/Large Animals (Cows, Pigs, Horses, Goats, Chickens, etc.)🐔 - Reptiles (Turtles, Tortoises, Chameleons, Bearded Dragons, Snakes, etc.) 🐢🦎 I have had over 2 years of exotic animal care, ranging from spiders, snakes, frogs, chameleons, turtles, birds and just about any feathery or scaly animal you could think of! I can’t wait to meet your pets and hopefully become there new best friend! ❤️ Currently I am an Animal Science student at Cal Poly and am super willing and able to accommodate all of you and your animals needs! I would love to spend as much time as possible with your animals! I will follow all instructions left by owners and can crate dogs, cats and other animals if necessary. When walking your animals, I will carefully walk them and ensure that they are safe at all times. Prior to staying I would love to hear all about your animals behavior and normal daily activities that way they are the most comfortable and happy during my time with your pets! 💗
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with 2-3 larvae dogs and a cat always in the house. I’m comfortable with any size dog, any energy level, and any age. My schedule is very flexible. I work part time mainly short shifts and I am coming up on summer break so my schedule is very open! I will give your pet the most attention and affection while attending to their well-being. I will follow all the care instructions given in order to provide the best experience for your pet!
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.

“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.”
“Douglas was an exceptional host for our dog, Ziggy. The daily photos and videos gave me great comfort. Knowing that Ziggy was in such good hands, and I could enjoy my trip! Douglas’ experience caring for dogs was very apparent, I could tell Ziggy felt right at home with him from the moment they met. We’re already hoping he’s available for our future dog sitting needs!”
“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.”
“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’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.
“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!”
“We had a last minute cancellation by a dog sitter and Rover was recommended. We selected Thomas and Lisa after having a meeting with our frenchie and their pugs and family. Our baby was so happy there, she went to the park daily, had friends to play with and was given love like we give. Pictures were sent to us daily, and we will likely have future playdates as she loved being with their family. This will definitely be our go to family for any of our pet sitting needs!!!”
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.
“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.”
“Kyle and Sara are perfect for our Poppy. They are very loving, calm, and truly care for our dog when she is there. I love the updates and great photos. Poppy feels no stress when she’s with them🧡”
“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!”
“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 .”
“Patty is THE BEST! Lynk has soooo much fun hanging out with her. Usually she’s super duper sad when I go out of town, but when she realizes she’s going to Patty’s ranch while I’m away, she gets stoked! It makes me so happy knowing Lynk is having a fun time.”
“Kara was great with both our energetic bigger pup and our little senior dog. We got pictures of them having a blast with their doggy friends and getting cozy in blankets together. They both came back tired and happy. We would recommend Kara to anyone looking for a great doggy stay!”
