Denise was amazing, super accommodating by meeting us at Hearst Castle parking lot and staying with our dog Mambo. She was on time, very patient and sweet with him. I would highly recommend her.

Between my two dogs and three cats, my household is a tough situation for a pet sitter to deal with. Add to that the fact my animals are my kids and I’m retired so I spend a lot of my time focused on them! So I guess you can say my pets and myself are high maintenance! But Jan was so friendly and conscientious and my animals and I liked her from the start! I definitely would like to book her again if she’s willing to deal with all of us!!!!

Andy was tidy and responsible. Responded quickly to emails. I could tell he was kind to my cat because she kept looking for him after he was gone. Thanks for giving her a lap!

Katie was fantastic. We needed someone within the week and she booked a meet and greet asap and was ready to watch our boys. She took great care of our 2 dogs and our house. Our 1 dog is an angel but the other is a bit mischievous and can be a handful and she handled him effortlessly. We felt fully at peace while away knowing she was taking care of our dogs. 10/10 will be reaching out to her the next time we need a sitter here in a few weeks.

Kayla was great with my babies. She communicated well and kept me informed about when she would not be with them. I appreciate her care and affection toward them and will absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much Kayla for keeping my babies company and loving on them while I was away.

About: I have always lived on property I have several dogs and cats. I have had horses even. I love to hangout with animals and take care of them. I have volunteered many times at my local dog humane society in San Luis Obispo. I love going into nature and love having the company from animals. I have gone to several training classes with my own puppies and do a lot of clicker training with them. I have pets on my own and I love to take them on walks daily. I live on property so sometimes I’ll just walk them here or we will go and explore the local beaches. I like being able to get exercise but also have a companion with me. I care for pets in my home by making sure that they have exercise are getting played with and fed. For clients I would like to do whatever they ask me to do. if that means going to the dog park or going on a hike, I am down to do whatever.

About: As a former veterinary assistant, I have acquired and practiced a number of skills above and beyond those of a typical pet sitter. I'm adept at administering medications of all kinds (including subcutaneous fluids), nail trimming and other basic grooming... I even assisted in surgeries! Animals are drawn to me and me to them. I've had a special chemistry with pets since I was a child. My own internal reliance on routines means that your pet can rely on regular, predictable and consistent care. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine – as a fellow pet owner, you know the drill. It's an all-day, every-day procedure starting from the first morning pawing at my nose and going until, well, the last evening pawing at my nose. As far as caring for other pets, my schedule is flexible and I make every effort to keep a regular routine that help your pet feel safe and cared for. We have two cats who I dote on (my wife might say "spoil"). They wake me up like clockwork every morning for their breakfast and play. We let the senior outside for supervised, fenced play (aka time away from his big little brother), but the 2-year-old is strictly indoors. I've developed daily routines and timelines with each of my pets and they reward my consistency with plenty of cuddles and purring. We recently got a wheel for our younger cat, and he likes to run while I'm on zoom calls.

Ten ⭐️! Robyn came to our rescue with a last minute booking. She took extraordinary care of our senior Golden and two cats. We were sent videos of play time, brushing and belly rub time… our pets adored her. I read all her five star reviews and have to agree she is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had- and we’ve had many!

Forest did an amazing job caring for our pets. He made sure to keep to our detailed routine and was very good at communicating — asking questions to ensure he was doing try right things, sending photos and texting updates. Whether you have cats, dogs or chickens — or all those pets, Forest will take excellent care of them and leave your home tidy as well. I will definitely hire Forest again.

We really appreciated Mindy watching and staying with our pup. We first met her for a meet and greet, to get to know her, introduce her to the pup, and show her our place. It was really clear right away that our pup responded well to her; and she answered all of our questions. This was the first time we were leaving our dog with someone over night in our house. She did a nice job communicating with us, and always made sure that we knew how our pup was doing. Thank you, Mindy for the doggy care...and for the very nice card.

About: I have 10 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun & nurturing environment. Your furry kids will be treated like part of the family, with consistent routines, lots of attention, just like my own pets. Caring for animals naturally fits into my lifestyle, and I bring that same sense of responsibility and joy to every pet I look after. I have a very open schedule which can accommodate a variety of time slots. I also provide local and long distance and can travel globally. I always require an online Meet & Greet before every booking to ensure we are a great fit. I maintain secure environments by double-checking leashes, securing gates, and pet-proofing spaces to prevent accidents. When house sitting, I respect your property as if it were my own. I follow your precise care instructions, ensure doors and windows are securely locked. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. In the rare event of an emergency, I am familiar with local 24/7 veterinary clinics and am backed by the Rover Guarantee.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cayucos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Cayucos on Rover is $50.1 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 480 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cayucos. 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 Cayucos 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 Cayucos 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 Cayucos 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cayucos. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
