“Manvir watched our dog and cat for the weekend. She followed my directions - walking the dog, cleaning off paws and giving medication. She sent me cozy pictures. I appreciate her affection and care for animals”
“Reliable, polite, kind, thoughtful and my dogs adore her. Yazmin, you have been a dream find and we are lucky to have you look after our two babies! Thank you and can’t wait to book you again, soon sometime! :)”
“I was so happy when I got home from a long day away and found that my babies were so lovingly cared for by Laurie and Reese. Think Teddy found a great playmate with Reese, that when Laurie and Reese left he started barking at the door. My dog never barks, so I think a hi-five and honors go to this happy pair. Thanks again so much.👍”
About: Hi, I’m Laney! I’m a pet-lover and experienced animal welfare professional working in animal shelter management. For the last four years, I have worked with dogs, cats, and small animals of all sizes, personalities, and stages in life. I also have experience navigating a wide range of behaviors and medical needs. Every pet is an individual and I tailor the care I provide according to the pet’s needs. My availability is wide open! I’m flexible and can often accommodate providing care on weekends and holidays. I also love to take dogs out for the day for hikes or beach excursions. When I’m caring for your pets, I treat them and your home as I would my own! Safety and security are always my top priority.
“Sean is so easy to work with. He took great care of our dog and cat and home. We had no worries about handing it all over to him. When our absence was extended by a day, he stayed to make sure our friends were not alone. We will definitely contact Sean again when we are going to be gone.”
“Dayna took such good care of our pets! They enjoyed her constant attention and snuggles. It's so nice to have someone reliable to take care of them when we're gone for a few days. It let's me enjoy breaks that much more. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Dyanna was great and my dog had a great time with her while I was out of town. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and we came home to a tidy house. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Cheryl was wonderful. I had no worries while I was gone. She kept me updated on everything that was going on with Mattie and regularly sent me pictures. The house was in great shape when I got home and the dog seemed very happy. I would definitely hire Cheryl again.”
“Ellen is the best! She’s watched our pup on a handful of overnights and he loves her. She’s communicative, friendly, takes Walt on walks and gives him lots of cuddles while we’re away. She’s our go-to sitter in town!”
“Our dogs were well cared for by Mike! When we got home from our trip the pups were happy, the house was clean, and while we were gone his communication was excellent. Will book Mike again!”

About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and work at an animal care hospital, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities every day. Because of my hands-on experience in a veterinary setting, I’m confident recognizing signs of stress or illness and providing attentive, safe care. I have dogs of my own and have dogsat before, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and those with special routines. I’m energetic, friendly, and love long walks and active playtime — but I’m also happy to stick to your dog’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I’m flexible and can work around both your schedule and your pet’s needs. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and lots of love. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I work full-time at an animal care hospital during the week, but I’m available for evening visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5pm. I have full availability on weekends and can be flexible to match your dog’s schedule. Just message me and we can figure out what works best! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. During drop-ins or walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment based on their energy level and personality. I always refresh water, clean up any messes, and ensure your home is left exactly how I found it. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

Sean is so easy to work with. He took great care of our dog and cat and home. We had no worries about handing it all over to him. When our absence was extended by a day, he stayed to make sure our friends were not alone. We will definitely contact Sean again when we are going to be gone.
Eliza was great! She was very kind and quick to respond during the booking process. She provided clear communication while caring for our dog. She took good care of our pet and our home. Our dog was very calm and content after her stay. I will definitely book with Eliza again to take care of our dog.
Ellen did an excellent job caring for my three dogs over three nights. She was very communicative, asked thoughtful questions ahead of time, and kept me updated with messages and pictures while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.
Dayna took such good care of our pets! They enjoyed her constant attention and snuggles. It's so nice to have someone reliable to take care of them when we're gone for a few days. It let's me enjoy breaks that much more. We will definitely be using her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lompoc
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lompoc on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 196 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lompoc. 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 Lompoc 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 Lompoc 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 Lompoc 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 Lompoc. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
