“Kiah was absolutely wonderful. We were gone for just over a week and we got daily pictures and videos of our dog’s adventures. She was more than happy to continue building training/good behavior as he has been with us for only a couple of months. Although I cleared it beforehand, she went above and beyond watering my garden and even took our dog on adventures and (approved) multi-dog walks, helping socialization and confidence! We will absolutely continue to use her services!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We actually ended up taking our dogs over to Janice’s house, where they spent the night. Janice sent pictures of the dogs enjoying themselves thoroughly; sitting on laps, lounging on the couch and generally being spoiled! We could see that they were well taken care of and”
About: Book Now and Save $20 ........ I also am available for last minute booking. Photo's & Face-Time Available. ALL DOGS & CATS MUST BE FRIENDLY To Other Animals. ALL BREEDS ACCECTED! My name is Laura and I am 42 years old with a wonderful husband. We have 2 wonderful cats and 1 extremely friendly lap dog! I moved to the Paso Robles area approximately 3 years ago from the Dallas, Tx area where I provided dogvacay services for 4 years. I am no longer able to watch no more than one small dog or cat from my own home, but would still love to work with your pets in your home, while you are away at work or on vacation. I am however able to watch cats in my home! I'm able to check in on your living pets throughout the day and take your pup/pups on long walks. And spend quality time with her/him while you are away. Then of course there is belly scratching time or perhaps a game of catch. Your pup is sure to be spoiled by me! Also I am able to feed and water any other pets you may have while I am there. I would love to meet with you and your precious pup, for a walk around the block! I accept all types of doggies, kitties and such!! If you book with me, I will send you updates by skype/text/video and pictures. Whatever your preference. I just want you and your little one to feel safe and secure. We just adore animals of all kinds in our loving home. I am retired with adult children that live in another state, so I jabe plenty of free time to look in on your pet family! My pets are super friendly and adapt well to other animals, as we have been caring for other animals since we've had them. My cats are Tinkabell@ 15 yrs old, Sylvester @14yrs old, Debbie @5 years old ,and our Dog Dexter @14 yrs old!
“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.”
“Simply wonderful with my furry children! My 4 month old papillon/chiweenie is so afraid of people but warmed up nicely with Jennifer’s amazing demeanor. I received pictures and updates and knew my pups were in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely use her again!”
“Taylor was flexible, communicative, kind and professional. He came to our rv to care for my dog while I took my daughters to the fair. It was very, very hot and my dog has a pool so he brought his a pool and a bag of ice. So sweet! He’s a great dog dad. But yeah; His dog comes along. She is a sweet dog but could really use some socialization classes. I think my dog (who is an “in your dogs space, play with me now, Husky girl”. Was possibly afraid of Tyler’s pup. Other than that, I think Tyler is a spectacular pet sitter. I’d use him again, if the time arose, just without his pup. And my girl loves other pups.”

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 Bern 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 Bern 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 Bern 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.
