“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!”
“Camryn did a great job. We were visiting from out of state, traveling with our two small dogs who are very attached to us. We had arranged for Camryn to dog-sit for the evening so we could go to an event. She arrived at our agreed upon time, allowing for some time for Camryn and our dogs to get to know each other a bit. Camryn was very attuned to the dogs nervousness and did lots of subtle things to try to put them at ease. Camryn was confident and knowledgable about dogs, and was totally honest with us about how the dogs were doing while we were out. She engaged with our dogs at their pace, and they warmed up to her. Camryn texted us photos and status updates frequently, and it was reassuring to us, and allowed us to relax and enjoy our evening out.”
“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.”
“Kevin was a great house sitter! We will definitely book with him again. Our dogs were well cared for and happy and the house was well looked after. He’s also a genuinely nice guy.”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of dogs and cats professionally and for friends and family throughout the years and love it! I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I an available on weekdays and weekends any time except for Mondays after 2 pm. I have a fully fenced yard and a cozy home to keep your fur babies comfy. And I can easily crate your pups if needed.
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.
About: I have a very diverse background in pet care. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and currently have a Blue Heeler, but my parents also have a French Bulldog so I deeply understand both the needs of high energy dogs and lower energy dogs. I have fostered dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, whose needs varied frequently, I have experience with small day old puppies, to older senior dogs. I have valuable experience in training and socializing dogs, I have put my own dog through training with multiple trainers that I have gotten to learn from, and use that knowledge to then train and socialize my foster puppies. I am currently a full time Animal Science student at Cal Poly, with most of my classes being in the mornings, making my schedule free on the weekends, Fridays before 11:30am and/or after 2pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm, and varying availability Mondays and Wednesdays. I already go on multiple walks throughout the day and on the weekends I love to hike and go to the beach, all of which I would love to be able to take a pup on as well! I am able to work with pets in any fashion that fits the pet owners needs. I understand every pet differs, so I can take into account any special instructions and thoroughly follow them to keep your pet and home safe.
About: I am reliable and very responsible with all fur babies! I am confident in CPR for animals, but still working on certification. I have a deep passion for animals, and it translates through the way I interact with them! I am finishing my masters degree in clinical psychology and have lots of time on my hands as I wait for my associate number to work as a therapist! Many services I provide include walking, housesitting, potty training, bathing and other basic needs. I want to keep your fur baby busy throughout the day!!
About: Greetings, I have grown up with 2-3 dogs my whole life, many of which have had health issues. I am comfortable with any type of dog and his/her accommodations. I have also pet sat for many animals, dogs included. I love being outside and would take your loved pets on walks or runs if they were in my care unless the owner asked otherwise. They would have constant access to water, food when owner specifies, and many parks and an outside yard to go to the bathroom. I believe in frequent bathroom breaks, constant attention, play, and naps. I am available after 12 am on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 10 am. I have three other people I live with who are comfortable with and will love on the dogs if they are home. I like clear instructions from owners on what they want their dogs daily routine to look like. I also request the owners immediate contact information as well as a veterinarian's (if possible), in case of emergencies.
“Sara was amazing with our three pets! Very good at communicating and conscientious about their care. They all enjoyed having her stay with them, and it gave us peace of mind to enjoy a mini vacation!”
About: Hi! My name is Yujin Emily and I am passionate about caring for animals. My own dog, Mae, is a lovable and unique little beast! I don’t get to see her so often anymore, and really miss taking care of a furry friend. I have interacted with dogs of all temperaments and can understand what it’s like to care for a sensitive pet. Let me know in particular if your pet has any unique qualities and I will cater my care to them! I work overnight but am available throughout the day for walks and day-sits! My shifts are generally Friday night through Sunday morning, but I am available for house/overnight dog-sitting throughout the week. I do not have the space in my own place to board pets (unfortunately) but have experienced shadowing other dog-sitters, as well as long-term house-stays and pet-sits. I am conscientious and respectful of the pet and owner’s needs and preferences first.
About: Lifelong pet lover and pet mom offering fun walks, playful energy, and a safe environment. I’ll treat your furry family member just like my own! Working part-time for the school district leaves my afternoons and weekends wide open and completely dedicated to feeding, walking, chilling and playing with your pets. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. Safety means constant supervision, secure environments, and clear communication. I strictly follow your house rules and pet routines to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.

Without question, we will invite Helona back, and I know Simon will be thrilled to see her! Thank you, Helona for putting our minds and hearts to ease, we so appreciate you!”

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!
Helona was beyond awesome. She took amazing care of Simon, sent a ton of pictures of their adventures, and also took great care of our home. Without question, we will invite Helona back, and I know Simon will be thrilled to see her! Thank you, Helona for putting our minds and hearts to ease, we so appreciate you!

The average cost of House Sitting in Atascadero is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $106 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
