“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.”
“Faith was wonderful! I had a bit of anxiety leaving my 3 year old golden with anyone for the first time, but after meeting Faith beforehand I was put at ease. She was punctual, asked all the right questions and sent sweet photos and updates while I was away.”
“This was our second experience with Darian, and once again, he has proven to be exceptional. His dedication, reliability, and genuine care for my home and furbaby are truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Darian to anyone in need of a trustworthy and phenomenal house sitter.”
“Kevin was a great house sitter! We will definitely book with him again. Our dogs were well cared for and happy and the house was well looked after. He’s also a genuinely nice guy.”
“Mindy was the best! I never had to worry about anything and she was great about sending check ins and photos the entire trip. She left our house completely spotless and even washed the sheets. I would absolutely use Mindy again!! 10/10!!”
About: I spent 12 years nurturing & caring for our beloved dog Kayla. We took pet obedience classes, we walked daily & loved each other deeply. Kayla passed away last summer. We cannot get another dog because our children live out of state & we travel frequently. I miss bonding with animals so this is why I would like to pet sit. I am retired but I do have an active life full of tennis & volunteer activities. If your pet can be left alone for 4 hours, I would love to help you out. I am fine with spending the night at your home. I am a clean person & very responsible. I spent 37 yrs teaching middle school. I would be cautious at all times about your pet being safe & well hydrated & fed. If your pet needs walks, that is great because I love walking.
“We needed a reliable sitter to stay with our small dog while we were in Paso Robles, and we couldn’t have asked for a better match than Jessica. She has a warm, friendly personality and was incredibly easygoing and accommodating throughout the entire experience. Our Pom, who is usually hesitant around new people, was a bit shy at first but quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend Jessica and only wish we lived closer so we could book her more often!”
“Sara has been wonderful in taking care of our dogs, learning their routines, and providing excellent care for them. We are specially grateful for the time she has taken to work with one of our dogs who is shy and suffers from anxiety issues. Sara truly understands dog behavior, and how to approach and work with difficult dogs. We are looking forward to continue working with her and we highly recommend her!”
About: Lifetime Experience: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors since I was young and have owned dogs my entire life, making attentive pet care second nature. Specialized Senior Care: Experienced with senior dogs and managing special routines, including successfully administering daily oral medications. Versatile with All Personalities: Whether it’s an energetic high-play pup or a timid dog that needs a gentle, patient touch, I adapt to what makes them feel safe and loved. Full-Service Care: Happy to handle everything from daily walks and coat/teeth brushing to messy cleanups without skipping a beat. No matter the breed, size, or special need, I make sure every dog gets the individual patience, treats, and affection they deserve! I’m currently job searching as I just moved to Paso Robles post graduation, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends and make sure they are taken care of the way you need! Sticking to Routine: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and walk routes so your dog’s daily flow stays completely normal. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total care, keeping things neat, locking up properly, and quickly handling any unexpected pet accidents. Building Trust: For timid or anxious pets, I start with a calm, gentle approach and let them come to me at their own pace with plenty of positive reinforcement and treats.
“Nichole was amazing. She took care of my old lady (dog), and would definitely request her assistance again in the future. Definitely recommend if you need a caring person to look over your fury loved one.”
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.
“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: Experienced dog mom. I have raised two pups starting at the age of 7 weeks. I know the time, love and care that is needed for these pups to get the care they deserve. I am here to make your life a little easier. Your pup is in good hands! I also have experience with e collars as well. I have the same work schedule every week. I’m happy to be a long or short term help. Whatever is needed I’m happy to work around. I make sure to give the dog space until they are ready to approach me considering I am entering their space. I make sure to read their body language to get a feel of what the dog is looking for.
“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.”
About: Maureen grew up on a farm and has had a passion for animals from a young age. This love for animals and experience with older pets has made me decide to go on rover! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Making time every day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, and enjoy incorporating that care into our schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon exercise, or evening wind-down time, prioritizing animals’ needs the same way I do for my own. On a weekly basis, I also set aside time for grooming, enrichment, and extra activities to keep pets happy and healthy. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do when it’s convenient—it’s a consistent and rewarding part of my lifestyle. I have a fenced property, cozy dog beds inside, one super friendly dog to keep your pup company, plenty of water bowls, and can feed your pet the food you bring in a safe area where the risk of stealing food is not possible.
“Tatum was great with John Fox! We were on vacation and needed a sitter for the day. She was patient as I figured out our schedule, on time the day we booked her and followed through with our instructions for our particular terrier :) he was happy and calm when we got back after our 6 hour outing. Thanks Tatum!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have about 9 years of experience caring for other’s pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their owners are away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 5 PM, Tuesdays before 1 PM and after 4:30 PM, Thursdays all day, and Fridays after 11:30 AM. Starting September 7th, I’m also available all day Saturdays and Sundays before 3 PM. I always treat pets and their homes with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions you provide and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away!

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 Creston 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 Creston 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 Creston 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.
