“Coral was fantastic with our dogs and cat- they loved her! She took great care of them and our home while we were away. She is everything we were looking for in a pet sitter- warm and kind, responsible, excited to have fun with our animals, and great at keeping us updated and informed throughout her time at our house. We appreciate her and look forward to having her sit for us again soon!”
“Katie is an absolute gem! Warm and communicative and clearly a dog lover. She is the kind of person you can trust right away. We are so happy to have find her and can tell the dogs adore her as well. Highly recommend!”
“Robyn was absolutely wonderful with Peggy. She went above and beyond to make sure Peggy was at ease while we were gone. She was on time and very communicative. It was such a relief when Peggy was absolutely excited to see Robyn the second day. Would 100% percent recommend Robyn! Thank you!!”
“Kelsey is an awesome pet care provider. We've used her services for several years. The pooches and kitties enjoy her loving care. She has provided dog walking services, daily check-ins, as well as overnight care for our 3 dogs and 2 cats. I'd highly recommend Kelsey.”
“Kristie went above and beyond! She took great care of all of my animals and my home. She even saved our chickens from their malfunctioning water system on 104 degree day. She kept all our animals safe- horses, goats, pigs, ducks, emu, sheep, cats and dog. Our home was also left in perfect condition.”
“Gabby was wonderful! She was happy to schedule a meet and greet before we booked her for a weekend, which was great because our dog is very shy around new people. She is quick to respond on the app, and shared pics and updates on how he was warming up to her daily. We will definitely use Gabby’s services again!”
“Josh looked after our pup for a quick 3-day trip. He provided regular updates with pictures. We have a nervous dog, and Josh was super patient with him. We will ? call Josh again the next time we need to be out of town.”
About: I’ve handled dogs and cats all my life and I can say with certainty that I bring comfort peace and joy to all animals I’ve interacted with. I love older dogs and cats as much as younger ones and I don’t mind putting in extra work to those that need my help a little more than others. I have a few classes through the week but I can definitely work around my schedule to ensure your babies get the love and care they need. We can also talk about a set schedule to best accommodate you and your pets. I care for my pets and others by making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I can bring a calming presence to any anxious fur baby and make sure they are happy and well cared for.
“Really enjoyed meeting Joshuah. He stayed with Bentley at our house for 5 days and we felt very comfortable and confident leaving our dog in his care. Communication was great and Bentley was clearly comfortable with him. Also left the house very neat and tidy! We hope to have Joshuah stay with Bentley again.”
“Chloe was amazing!!! She took great care of my fur babies and the house. They are usually pretty sensitive to change and with chloe they were thriving and happy. She kept their routine and gave them sooo much love. THANK YOU CHLOE!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I could walk. My dog, Charles, is my best friend in the whole world. Any dog I get the chance to meet, I immediately love! I’ve taken care of all of my friends and family’s pets and I play with them, take them on walks, feed them twice daily, and do whatever they need. I am a student and I currently have a very flexible schedule with lots of free time! I would love to walk your dog or check in on them in between classes, or even stay with them overnight! I will take any chance I can get to hang out with your pups! In my home, I take my dog on daily walks, feed him twice a day, play with him, take him on fun adventures, and snuggle with him on the couch! I will do all the same for any dog I care for.
About: Experienced dog mom. I have raised two pups starting at the age of 7 weeks. I know the time, love and care that is needed for these pups to get the care they deserve. I am here to make your life a little easier. Your pup is in good hands! I also have experience with e collars as well. I have the same work schedule every week. I’m happy to be a long or short term help. Whatever is needed I’m happy to work around. I make sure to give the dog space until they are ready to approach me considering I am entering their space. I make sure to read their body language to get a feel of what the dog is looking for.
“Nicki was wonderful! Was supportive of Jack's separation anxiety and let us know how he was doing. It was wonderful for us to know that he had a person who cared about keeping him calm and feeling secure and safe. Even the cats loved her! Looking forward to having her watch Jack in the future.”
“Sara has been wonderful in taking care of our dogs, learning their routines, and providing excellent care for them. We are specially grateful for the time she has taken to work with one of our dogs who is shy and suffers from anxiety issues. Sara truly understands dog behavior, and how to approach and work with difficult dogs. We are looking forward to continue working with her and we highly recommend her!”
“She took care of our puppy for three nights and days, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Taking care of a young puppy is a big commitment, and she was responsible, and dedicated throughout the entire stay. She was very proactive about asking questions whenever she wanted to make sure she was doing exactly what was best for our puppy, which we really appreciated. She also kept us updated and sent us lots of great pictures. We would absolutely trust her to take care of her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter. She also left our house very clean.”
“Keikiuiokalani did a great job of taking care of our two Australian Cattle Dogs (not a job for everyone!) over a 4 day weekend. She stayed in our home and sent us photos each day. Keikiuiokalani was easy to work with and left everything in good order. We would use her again.”
About: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.

Highly recommend Faith. From the moment I reached out to her to the very end of our trip, she was consistently very responsive, kind, reliable, and professional. She stayed at our home while we traveled and watched our 3 dogs. Initially was scheduled to watch our 2 dogs, but we ended up having our 3rd dog (who we are currently fostering) at our home as well. Faith was very flexible with the request to watch an additional dog. One of our dogs was having some skin issues and hives and she proactively gave him a bath. She sent daily updates, lots of pictures, and we could tell our dogs were very happy and safe! She left our house very clean. Would recommend Faith 100%. Thank you Faith!!
Robyn is an absolute gem! She was kind enough to come to our home for a meet and greet. She was patient when I needed time to confirm our away dates. Our Golden Retriever immediately loved Robyn and so did we. We felt completely at ease having her dog sit in our home. You couldn't find a more reliable, responsible dog sitter. She sent updates and photos regularly and is an excellent communicator. We returned home to a clean, tidy house and a very happy dog. Robyn went above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found her. I would definitely recommend her and hope to have her dog sit again.
We needed a reliable sitter to stay with our small dog while we were in Paso Robles, and we couldn’t have asked for a better match than Jessica. She has a warm, friendly personality and was incredibly easygoing and accommodating throughout the entire experience. Our Pom, who is usually hesitant around new people, was a bit shy at first but quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend Jessica and only wish we lived closer so we could book her more often!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Atascadero is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atascadero. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Atascadero walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Atascadero maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Atascadero choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Atascadero. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
