About: I have watched my neighbors pets for a long time now! Walking, feeding, and staying the night at their houses. I grew up with dogs so I love to be around them! I also enjoy long walks personally and would be happy to take your dog on nice long adventures! I am currently going to Cuesta College, fairly part time, but besides that I am free! I have a good amount of flexibility and free time these days. Therefore I can hopefully cater to your needs! I like to be attentive to the animals that I am with, especially if I’m working with clients that don’t have a fenced in yard! I enjoy making them feel comfortable by throwing a ball or playing tug of war etc.
“Andrew came over and met our pups. He not only followed my specific instructions, but one of our dogs had thrown up before Andrew came over to take them out, and Andrew cleaned it up for me while I was away. He is a super nice and conscientious guy. I would not hesitate to have him come over again!”

“Shamarah went above and beyond taking care of our senior German Shorthaired Pointer. She understood his needs and had the patience to give him the extra attention he requires. She made sure he got plenty of walks, kept him active and engaged, and clearly spent quality time with him. And she is a great communicator. We received regular updates, detailed reports, and lots of photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the pictures and updates that Henry was comfortable, well cared for, and enjoying himself. We'd gladly book with Shamarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”

“Cami was so excellent with my sweet kitty Lucy - incredibly accommodating with my last-minute requests, and so attentive to Lucy’s needs. I returned to a really content cat which is all I could ask for!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent and more laid-back pets. I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your furry family member with someone else. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work a flexible remote schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve rather than simply being left alone. I have a clean, comfortable home with two friendly cats, and while my yard is not fenced, I’m always happy to take dogs on walks for exercise and enrichment. I take safety seriously and would never leave a pet unattended outside. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, including leash walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Joshua was an excellent pet sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!”

“Annika was so wonderful with our cats while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind to know she was checking in on them and giving them pets/treats/play time. She was timely and sent pictures/updates after her visits. She also respected the needs of our shyer cat, who prefers to keep to himself with new people. Would highly recommend her!”


About: Hi! I’m Sophie! I graduated with my degree in Animal Science in 2022 and am currently back in school while working part-time. My schedule gives me a lot more flexibility, so I’d love to spend my days off hanging out with your pets! I’ve always loved animals and have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I have a cat of my own, Koko. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s pit bull and help take care of her pretty often. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have a car and am happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or wherever they enjoy going. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting at your home. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone, so I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and send plenty of pictures and updates! 🐶🐱❤️ I’m currently back in school and working part-time, so my schedule has a good amount of flexibility. I’m available on my days off and can usually work around school and work for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I treat it like I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep an eye on them throughout my visit. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you know they’re doing okay!

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 a student on at Cal Poly SLO. I’m in class Monday-Friday. I’m available in the morning and afternoon throughout the week. 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. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.

“Jennifer helped with walking and feeding our pug, Winnie, a couple times during a day when we were away. She was extremely responsive and eager to understand Winnie's personality and preferences. Jennifer stayed in touch so we knew when she was there and how Winnie had responded. It was very reassuring to have such an enthusiastic and concerned caregiver helping with Winnie while we were away. We will definitely plan to contact Jennifer the next time we need some help!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 8, but I have always been surrounded by various animals. I have taken care of not only my own dog but also those belonging to my family and neighbors, gaining valuable experience in the process. I attended all of my dog's puppy training classes and learned from the trainer how to teach her numerous tricks. Additionally, I have assisted my friends in training their puppies to acquire essential skills and even taught them a few tricks, such as rolling over. Moreover, I volunteered at Animal Assisted Happiness, where I provided care for a variety of animals, including bunnies, goats, chickens, horses, and more. I currently work part-time, which allows me some flexibility to take care of your dogs. My availability includes all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but it may vary from week to week, but I am usually able to accommodate your needs. Feel free to send me a message, and we can work out the details! I enjoy playing with dogs and teaching them new tricks! Taking walks is a favorite activity of mine, and I'll ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time and opportunities to explore with long sniffs during our walks. Keeping their hydration in mind, I always make sure the water bowl is filled. Additionally, I prioritize their comfort by providing timely potty breaks and opportunities to go outside as needed.

About: Hi! My name is Yujin Emily and I am passionate about caring for animals. My own dog, Mae, is a lovable and unique little beast! I don’t get to see her so often anymore, and really miss taking care of a furry friend. I have interacted with dogs of all temperaments and can understand what it’s like to care for a sensitive pet. Let me know in particular if your pet has any unique qualities and I will cater my care to them! I work overnight but am available throughout the day for walks and day-sits! My shifts are generally Friday night through Sunday morning, but I am available for house/overnight dog-sitting throughout the week. I do not have the space in my own place to board pets (unfortunately) but have experienced shadowing other dog-sitters, as well as long-term house-stays and pet-sits. I am conscientious and respectful of the pet and owner’s needs and preferences first.

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: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend. I have the tools and knowledge to care for dogs all across the board, and not only that, but I love each dog with all my heart and treat them with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, and do remote work. I can easily work with you and your schedule to come to your home to watch your pet, or pick up for pet for the day etc. I have a large fenced in yard to watch your pet for the day if they come to me. I am great at following any specific instructions and can also walk your dog around our 50 acres. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, I follow everything closely, and love working with you and your pet so everyone is happy and comfortable!
About: Hello! What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents feel confident knowing their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home when they are with me. Experience: I have always had at least 2-3 dogs. I have done some training with my first dogs and have volunteered at multiple shelters (most time spent taking care of newborn puppies)! I also house-sit for multiple families and friends. I am flexible on time and love all dogs! Excited to take care of your doggies! I am working Thursday- Sunday but can do after 5 on those days. Other than that I am open to anytime. Early morning, easy afternoon, or evenings! I will ask for things your pet needs if there is any special instructions! I will test your pets as if they were mine. I will make sure they gets lots of attention and whatever is asked of the owners!
About: I have tons of animal experience, from chickens to horses and everything in between. Many of my high school years were spent in dog and cat rescue, and I have taken multiple animal science courses in college so I am very comfortable with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm not scared of by or wary of animals that might need more time to warm up. I'm also very active and outdoorsy and am always looking to have an animal join me on my various adventures and outings if that is what they are into. I work with dogs and cats of all sizes, energy levels, and ages, and can give oral medication, injections, or do bladder expression if needed. I am currently on summer break from my college classes and working part-time remotely from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. I’m comfortable playing, feeding, giving medication, crating, or anything else your pet might need. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve.
About: Hey there! I’m a Cal Poly student who’s deeply missing the joy of having a furry friend around. I had the pleasure of caring for a wonderful Labrador Retriever for a decade until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Now, I’m eager to share some love and care with your adorable dogs! During the holidays, I’ll have plenty of free time to ensure your pups get all the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and happy while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions soon! I am a student at Cal Poly and will be in my hometown for school breaks. I would love to watch your dog and take him or her on fun adventures with me and my friends. I am open to just providing daily walks for your dog or caring for him or her in my home overnight. I do not have any other pets in my home so there will be no risks. I am extremely responsible and will be happy to care for your animal.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cayucos is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 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 of October 2026, there are 670 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cayucos. 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
