“Coral was amazing and took care of our dog Zoe! Zoe ended up with a torn ACL just before Coral came to stay but she assured us she would take extra care and make sure Zoe wasn’t jumping on and off furniture. We felt like our fur baby was in great hands.”
“There should be more than 5 stars available to give Mindy!! She’s the absolute best. She’s stayed at our house twice with our baby. She makes everything so comfortable while we are away. Very grateful for all her care and attention to our guy!!! The greatest rover!!!”
“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!”
“Kelsey is amazing. She stayed in my home and took great care of my dog and three cats!! They all loved her and so do I. She even cleaned up before she left!! It’s so much easier to enjoy your vacation when you know your furry family at home is being cared for. Definitely recommend her for all your pet and house sitting needs Thank You Kelsey”
“Great! We had Carlos house-sit for our two dogs and plethora of outdoor plants. He was great with our dogs, took them on daily walks, and even watered our outdoor plants during our 5 night trip. We are always pleased to be able to use Rover instead of board at a kennel, and we will call Carlos again!”
“Faith was wonderful watching over our Luna. We appreciated her quick responses, pictures and updates and willingness to come in a day early to meet us and ask any questions. Will definitely rebook when we can.”
“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!”
“Robyn is fantastic! She took the time to get to know us and our dogs before the stay. She house and dog sat for us for 12 nights. She communicated every day and often, which is my preference. I love my fur babies and it’s hard to be away. Robyn did a wonderful job and the dogs adore her! Robyn also cleaned house and did the laundry- even though that wasn’t a requirement for us. She went above and beyond!! I highly recommend Robyn.”
“Joshuah was very personable and responsive- he sent us lots of pet pictures during our trip which we loved! Came home to find a happy dog and cat and he even went the extra mile to tidy up before checking out. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Sam, a fellow pet parent who knows how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your animals. My dog, Butters, is my baby, so I completely understand the feeling of leaving your pet in someone else’s care! I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine while giving them plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. I’ll also send lots of pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and happy while you’re away. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I am well versed in taking care of both! I had my first cat, Loki, for 15 years. I work full time, Tuesday-Friday. I get off of work in SLO at 5pm so I have plenty of time to check on pets as needed after 5pm on weeknights. My weekends are pretty open! I can work around whatever schedule as needed. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort and send plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
“Pauline was absolutely great with my girl Juna. She is kind, very thorough and a very responsible dog sitter who will love on your dog as much, if not more, than you do. Would highly recommend her services. Thanks Pauline!”
“Kiah was top notch! Very communicative and sent lots of pics and videos. She stayed 2 nights in my home and my dog who is used to not a lot of different people caring for her, did really well with Kiah. You can tell she knows a lot about dogs and how to approach them to meet them where they are at and provide what they need. My dog also takes a thyroid pill 2x per day and she was great about giving her the medication. It is so nice to have peace of mind when you are away with your home and with your furry family member.”
About: I have always been around animals, whether that is cats or dogs. I enjoy house sitting and would love to help anyone that needs a sitter/ walker! I also enjoy helping around the house so feel free to ask me! I currently am working part time so I have plenty of available time. I am free every night, and can work in other times that are needed. I have a fenced yard and an extra crate to keep your pet safe. I have one friendly dog that loves to have company around.
“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: Loving Care in a Spacious Home — Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place! 🐾 Hi there! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will get all the focus and care they deserve. My home is spacious with a large yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies! Plus, we’re just a short walk from the local dog park for extra social fun and exercise. Whether your dog loves cuddles, long walks, or lounging in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. You can count on a calm, safe, and happy environment — where every tail wag is welcomed and every pup is family. ❤️ I work from home so I will give them constant attention and supervision throughout the day and the kids will make sure they get their energy out at night! I have a large yard to run around and play! No pets in the home for a more intimate experience and 4 happy kids to entertain them!
About: With more than 15 years of pet-sitting experience, I bring a lifetime of genuine love, patience, and dedication to every pet in my care. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so I make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. What sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, preferences, and needs—from favorite toys and walking routes to feeding schedules and special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With me, your pet receives more than basic care—they receive companionship, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is for every pet to feel at home and for every pet parent to have complete peace of mind. 🐾💕 I’m currently working full time but I’m self employed and make my own schedule so I can sit and walk pets around my schedule and I can pet sit overnights. I will care for them like my own and abide by the owners inside and outside rules and regulations. I adjust to different circumstances or situations.

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.
Lauren was a true joy to work with from start to finish! Great at communication, arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about our pups routine and left our home spotless; she even left a lovely human treat for US when we arrived home! Murphy took to her caring personality immediately which is not his usual M.O. when meeting new folks. He was obviously well cared for and loved on while we were away. And bonus, she recently graduated from veterinarian school so we were confident she could handle any situation that arose. We’d give her 10 Stars ⭐️ if we could!

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!
Carlos was prompt in responding to my questions and came out ahead of time to meet my dogs who I had not left with anyone before to make sure they would be a good fit. It was apparent he has a genuine love of animals and takes the responsibility seriously. He was attentive to their needs and routines were followed perfectly, and I came home to very content pets. As any other pet person knows, it's hard to leave your pets with people you don't know, he made sure mine were taken care of well in my absence and I certainly appreciate it and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pets while on vacation.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
