“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!!!!”

About: I’ve handled dogs and cats all my life and I can say with certainty that I bring comfort peace and joy to all animals I’ve interacted with. I love older dogs and cats as much as younger ones and I don’t mind putting in extra work to those that need my help a little more than others. I have a few classes through the week but I can definitely work around my schedule to ensure your babies get the love and care they need. We can also talk about a set schedule to best accommodate you and your pets. I care for my pets and others by making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I can bring a calming presence to any anxious fur baby and make sure they are happy and well cared for.

“Clare was professional, kind, communicative—and most importantly, our doggies were happy upon our return. She also left the house in meticulous condition. My one caveat is that we did not get much by the way of photos and daily dog updates—if you need someone who does this, Clare might not be a fit. If you are seeking someone you can trust, count on Clare.”

Communication was great and Bentley was clearly comfortable with him. Also left the house very neat and tidy! We hope to have Joshuah stay with Bentley again.”

She sent us daily updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our week-long vacation without worrying about anything at all. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I could walk. My dog, Charles, is my best friend in the whole world. Any dog I get the chance to meet, I immediately love! I’ve taken care of all of my friends and family’s pets and I play with them, take them on walks, feed them twice daily, and do whatever they need. I am a student and I currently have a very flexible schedule with lots of free time! I would love to walk your dog or check in on them in between classes, or even stay with them overnight! I will take any chance I can get to hang out with your pups! In my home, I take my dog on daily walks, feed him twice a day, play with him, take him on fun adventures, and snuggle with him on the couch! I will do all the same for any dog I care for.

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: I’ve always been known as that person who animals just tend to trust. I’ve been told on many occasions how certain animals don’t like people but for whatever reason they give me a chance and I love when I get to show them love and prove that their fur babies made the right choice trusting me. Even when I was a baby I used surround myself with all sorts of animals because I love all of them so much. I hope to have the opportunity to give all the love I can to all the animals willing to give me a chance. I do take night classes Monday- Thursday typically anywhere from about 5-9 and I work days that I don’t have school. I’m very flexible but Monday-Thursdays are usually best for walks and drop ins. From how I’ve been described by others, I’m a very friendly, trusting, and loving person and everyone and their pets can expect that from me as well. As far as other peoples houses and everything I like to leave things the way I found it or better.

“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: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 8 years old. Personally I took care of a Boston terrier and that is the only breed that Ive worked with in my house. Other breeds that I’ve had experience with our my neighbors dogs including different types of Pitbulls and huskies. I am very comfortable with larger dog find them to be huge lovers. I am welcome to any size dog i know I can handle and take care of them based on my personal experience with my own pets and neighbors pets. My neighbors pets have been in my life longer than the Boston terrier that we got as a family dog. My family has now had three Boston terriers throughout my lifetime. I am currently a full-time Cal poly Humboldt student, but I have 1 to 2 hour breaks between most of my classes and I’m free in the evenings for dog walking throughout the day. I am currently moved out of my parents house so I don’t have any pets in my home but I have a fenced off backyard and is spacious living area if they need to stay overnight that is OK. I have plenty of places to walk right outside of my home. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing. Any of the grooming that the dog me and on top of taking care of them. In the clients home I would be able to do any pet care that they may require or want such as walking be brushing.

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: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.

About: I have a very diverse background in pet care. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and currently have a Blue Heeler, but my parents also have a French Bulldog so I deeply understand both the needs of high energy dogs and lower energy dogs. I have fostered dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, whose needs varied frequently, I have experience with small day old puppies, to older senior dogs. I have valuable experience in training and socializing dogs, I have put my own dog through training with multiple trainers that I have gotten to learn from, and use that knowledge to then train and socialize my foster puppies. I am currently a full time Animal Science student at Cal Poly, with most of my classes being in the mornings, making my schedule free on the weekends, Fridays before 11:30am and/or after 2pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm, and varying availability Mondays and Wednesdays. I already go on multiple walks throughout the day and on the weekends I love to hike and go to the beach, all of which I would love to be able to take a pup on as well! I am able to work with pets in any fashion that fits the pet owners needs. I understand every pet differs, so I can take into account any special instructions and thoroughly follow them to keep your pet and home safe.

Kayla was very responsive, prompt and responsible. The girls seemed to be quite content with her. Our Aussie and Aussie /Border Collie, although sweet as can be, can be a handful and Kayla seemed to have no problem with them. I felt very comfortable leaving our home and our dogs in her very gentle and capable hands.

Atticus did an amazing job. This was the first time we left our kids alone for this length of time and we were glad to have daily updates in pictures to put our mind at ease. When we got back we could tell how happy the pups and kitty were while we were gone. They were very happy to see us but also very happy to see Atticus when we exchanged keys again. I would 10 out of 10. Recommend using Atticus anytime.

Taylor was very attentive and communicative. He asked questions as needed and kept me updated. He made plans to spend some time with my cats earlier than we had originally scheduled because he had to work in the evening. This extra thought and care was very appreciated. I will absolutely book with him again. My boys seemed very content when I got home so he definitely did a great job caring for them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Osos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Los Osos is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $111 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.

As of November 2026, there are 501 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Los Osos. 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 Los Osos 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 Los Osos 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 Los Osos 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 Los Osos. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
