“Samantha was a dream come true! She was very prompt, thorough, thoughtful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy my three pets. She left the house neat and tidy and even went the extra yard and bought special treats for the furry ones. I would highly recommend.”
“Faith was wonderful watching over our Luna. We appreciated her quick responses, pictures and updates and willingness to come in a day early to meet us and ask any questions. Will definitely rebook when we can.”
“Darian took care of our dog Lucca and our home for a week and did an excellent job. He took Lucca on some special outings beyond his normal walking routine which was great because Lucca is an active dog. They did a hike up Bishop Peak, a trip to a dog park, and took walks with another of Darian's client's dogs so Lucca had an opportunity to socialize. Darian also communicated with us daily sending pictures and updates which we really appreciated. His depth of experience and understanding of canines and their behavior is exceptional and it was great to have someone so experienced care for Lucca.”
“Christena was great. She helped us out in a bind when our sitter canceled last minute. She sent texts and pics and even a video. Thanks for the help and being so flexible.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Carina was a good puppy sitter. She was faced with a couple new things for our dog and handled them really well. Dog found a deer skull and legs (something he’s never seen!) and would not let go of them. She was able to navigate the situation on her own, even with the pup throwing up a bunch after. We appreciate her stay here at our house and would welcome her back. Thank you Carina!”
“Helona was beyond awesome. She took amazing care of Simon, sent a ton of pictures of their adventures, and also took great care of our home. Without question, we will invite Helona back, and I know Simon will be thrilled to see her! Thank you, Helona for putting our minds and hearts to ease, we so appreciate you!”
“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: I’ve had experience with every animal from exotics and reptiles to the more common pet like cats and dogs! I used to train colts but now manage my funny farm. I currently work full time but am available at least two full days a week and 18 hours a day 3 days a week with a flexible schedule! I have a fenced yard as well as an outdoor kennel and miles of open fields to provide ample entertainment for your most adventurous pet! Or we can chill inside with centralized air conditioning.
“Keikiuiokalani did a great job of taking care of our two Australian Cattle Dogs (not a job for everyone!) over a 4 day weekend. She stayed in our home and sent us photos each day. Keikiuiokalani was easy to work with and left everything in good order. We would use her again.”
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.
“Emily did a great job watching our dog and two cats. They seemed happy and healthy when we got back and the house was super clean. We’ll definitely be booking with Emily again in the future!”
“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: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.
“I can highly recommend Liora for pet and house sitting. She stayed with our dog, Bentley for 4 days and took wonderful care of him and our home. She walked Bentley several times a day, enjoyed play time with him and overall seemed to bond really well. Liora was very responsible in giving him his medications and the communication was great with daily updates on how he was doing, and shared images and videos that were very much appreciated. Additionally, she left the house very clean and tidy. We look forward to having Liora stay, and pet sit again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Creston is $112 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $90 and $145 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Creston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
