About: I make pet care easier by coming to you! I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience raising and training three dogs from the puppy stage. I also attended summer camps where I learned hands-on dog-training techniques and how to build trust and form strong bonds with dogs.

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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy. Whether it's managing animals’ care, training, or addressing specific needs, I’m comfortable working with animals of all types and ages I’m currently looking for part-time work and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach is always centered around the pet’s individual needs and comfort. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease. I also offer special attention to senior pets or those with specific health needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I send regular updates and pictures to keep them informed and reassured that their pet is in good hands.
About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war.

I’m willing to work with you so we can find the time that works best for both of us! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks.

About: I have 18 years of experience caring for dogs the full spectrum of ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My personal pack is 3 dogs full! Lindy an 18 year old Australian Shepherd/Lab, George a 6 year old Chihuahua/Poodle, and Henry a 4 year old working dog mix - GSD/Chow/Husky/Coonhound. All were adopted between 2-3 months, Henry of which was from a rescue litter I fostered as infants. I have vast experience in caring for high needs dogs, from senior medication, cleanup, and care to behavioral fear, boundaries, and work (Henry is worked twice a day every single day). I have had an immense love for dogs of all kinds since I was a child and often think about how lucky we are to have the gift of sharing our lives with them. I work remotely and have the flexibility to work around my schedule. Enabling me the rare ability to care for your babies consistently and whenever is needed. As a mother of a couple feisty boys, safety is of the utmost concern. Double checking latched doors, trash cans, and scouring for anything a pup can anticipate as edible is a requirement before leaving a baby to relax alone.
“Makaela took great care of our two dogs and sent daily updates and photos during feeding times and walks so we knew they were doing well while we were gone. We left specific feeding instructions for our picky eater and he seemed to be well fed when we got home. Would definitely engage Makaela if we have future pet sitting needs.”

Hailey was super accommodating with our schedule and is great with our 2 pups! One of ours takes a little while to warm up and it didn't faze her at all. She has a great attitude and the dogs are naturally drawn to her. We will definitely have her help us again. Thanks Hailey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Atascadero is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 per visit. 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 701 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Atascadero. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
