“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!!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Camryn is the BEST!!! She took such wonderful care of our 2 kids. A German Shepherd and Shitzu. She is excellent with animals and so caring. We will definitely contact her again. She also updated us with photos all day! 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! ❤️???”

“This was the first time leaving my 7-mo old kitten Toulouse alone for an extended period of time and I was a bit of a nervous Mom. Andrew is an obvious animal-lover and was responsive to any questions I had both before and during my trip away. He looked after her and my house well, and was patient with her friskiness. He even brought over his own cat toys so she could have new things to play with. Definitely a reliable pet-sitter for your needs.”

“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!”

“Joshuah was a life saver. He made himself available near the last minute, and when my flight wad delayed, he stayed a couple hours longer than scheduled. He left the place just as clean as I left it, and most importantly, I came home to happy critters! He also sent several pictures every day, which I loved, especially as I was a couple thousand miles away.”

“Jennifer was GREAT!!! She kept me informed through out the day by sending pictures and videos. She even took him to the local dog park but not before asking if I thought he would be ok. Very considerate. I definitely recommend her to anyone staying in Cambria and is in need of a dog sitter. 5 stars!”


“Carlos is a cut above the rest - he was responsive, prompt, punctual, and he really stands out with his calm energy and conscientious care. Our puppy LOVED her time with Carlos while we were at a friend's Paso Robles wedding. It was obvious from her photos that she had a blast, and she was quite a happy camper upon her return as well. We are really grateful to have found Carlos - and we really wish we lived closer so we could use his care all the time!!”

“Pauline went "above and beyond" accommodating changes in our plans due to rain, and always responded quickly to my messages! Pauline & Richard showed up promptly for our house sitting -- they quickly bonded with our doodle who we knew was in good hands getting lots of play and attention. Many thanks again for the flexibility with weather rescheduling!!!”

“Mindy is terrific and I really appreciate her help in watching our home and beloved dogs. She is reliable and trustworthy and really good about checking in and putting our minds at ease. Five stars!”

About: Active and attentive family available to provide multiple levels of care for your fur baby! Our nine-year-old is interested in starting a dog walking business (with support from mom or dad), and we are also able to board a friendly dog who would be sharing space with our elderly dog or do drop-ins/ house sit when more appropriate (not the whole family!). We can provide exercise through walks, on-leash hikes, or whatever works for your dog. I’ve been around dogs most of my life and am comfortable with all ages (puppy to elderly). Our child is in a hybrid homeschool program so someone is home most days throughout the day to keep your pet company. Our child is a hybrid homeschool program so we are home 4 days a week all day and gone for an hour or two on school days for drop off and pick up. We have a fenced yard and live close to dog friendly beaches and trails. If you have a cat you need a sitter for, we are available for drop-ins or to stay at your residence because our dog has strong opinions about the feline species.
About: Hello! I'm Regan, an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO with a lifelong love for animals. I've grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals. This has made me comfortable with pets of all different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with my personal experience, studying Animal Science has given me a stronger foundation in animal health, behavior, handling, and proper care. I'm extremely comfortable with feeding, walking, following medication instructions, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know that every pet is different, so I make an effort to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than treating every animal the same. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and well-being, and I'm very detail-oriented when following owner instructions to ensure you know your pet is in great hands while you're away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care around my classes, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I spend a lot of my free time around animals already, so incorporating pet care into my day comes naturally to me. I’m also very organized with my schedule and will only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any household rules or preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure before letting pets outside or leaving the home. I understand that being trusted with both someone’s pet and their home is a big responsibility. I’m respectful of each client’s space and will always leave their home just as I found it. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with and taken care animals since I can remember from dogs and cats to fish and birds to even chickens! I have watched puppies and senior dogs. I currently work from home as a secretary so I have a lot of free time in between calls and invoicing to love on and care for your pet. I also can work anywhere, not just at home. With the help of my fiancé, Tristan, we will definitely take care of your pets with care! I can take care of your fur baby like you would depending on your preferences. I can crate your pet if needed and take them on the walks and exercise that they my need.
About: I am a college student looking to spend some time with some pets since I grew up having them. I go on walks every day in my free time and would love to have a companion that needs to get outside too! I have had a collection of jobs including working with children, the elderly, young people with disabilities, and of course, pet sitting and dog walking. All of this makes me a responsible and respectful person that is a great fit for taking care of your pet! Currently a college student that can walk in the mornings before class everyday. Primarily I would love to walk or house sit Fridays through Mondays. I am a cat owner now and grew up with a lot of dogs. I am an avid hiker and love long walks. My job growing up was always taking the dogs for long walks until they were tuckered out.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 466 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.

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.
