“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 taken care of pets since I was 15. Comfortable with all size dogs, cats and horses. Experienced in some training, medications and care. Very reliable and excellent house guest. I’m currently focusing on just pet sitting and dog walking. The only time I need to be away is if I have a previous dog walking appointment. I come and stay at your home, or drop by, if that is your preference. I’m very conscientious of your pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. I’m also an excellent house guest.

About: I have 6 years of experience in the veterinary field and have been pet sitting for more than 10 years. I am available for walks, quick 30 or 60-minute drops ins and the occasional overnight stay at your home. I am able to give oral and/or injectable medications, feed, provide light grooming, walk and/or run with your pet, and most importantly give them all of the love and affection they need! Im currently unemployed from the corporate world so I have plenty of time to walk/watch your pets. I currently do not have any pets so I am always excited for opportunities to incorporate them into my life. Since I mostly only do walks and check ins, I always make sure that safety of your pet is a top priority. Will always check for details about what leashes to use, where to walk, where to avoid, etc. will never let dogs interact with others unless given the ok from owner. Will always respect strict diets, commands, etc when given the information.

About: I am a college graduate who has been surrounded by dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens for as long as I can remember. Every family pet came home the same way — as an 8‑week‑old puppy or kitten — and grew up under my care. I personally raised and trained three large‑breed dogs: Argo, Bullmastiff; Lilly, Newfoundland; and Farley, my Labradoodle, who came with me to college and has been my best friend until he passed. Diesel, my Bulldog, was raised right alongside them — just built on a smaller scale. Most recently, based in Honolulu, Hawai'i, I cared for my cat, Thunder, a Ragdoll–Maine Coon mix better known as "Mr. Aloha," and Zeus, before relocating to San Luis Obispo County, where I now lives with her partner, Cameron. I grew up on the water and love marine life for as long as I've loved animals on land — I am happiest when I'm taking care of pets. I have CPR certification, and like to spend my free time outdoors, on the water, preferably with a dog at my side. My schedule is flexible and fits easily around your plans. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or several weeks, I'm available when you need me I know the importance of taking care of pets in their own environment, where they feel safest and most relaxed. Whenever possible, I like doing an in-person, meet-and-greet so your pet can get used to me while you're there- allowing them to feel trust and safe; otherwise, a Zoom is a great way to get up to speed on your expectations. Once I'm caring for them, I stick closely to your exact routine, whether that's meals, meds, or favorite playtime habits. I'll send plenty of photo updates, so you always have peace of mind that your fur baby is being well taken care of.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Jolie. I'm originally from the Bay Area, and I'm currently a senior at Cal Poly SLO. A little bit about my experience—I grew up with 4 dogs (2 Shiba Inus, a Malti-poo, and a German shepherd!) and my family and I also have two cats (a Scottish fold and a Tabby). I absolutely love animals, and I have experience dog sitting at clients' homes as well as providing dog walking services. I also help babysit my neighbor's cat when they are away! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me :) I'm pretty much free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! As for the week: - Mondays & Wednesday: Anytime after 7pm - Tuesday & Thursday: Anytime after 2:30pm - Friday: Anytime after 1pm Whether in my home or the client's home, safety is always important. Part of this is understanding the type of animal and age and understanding how these factors play into behavioral aspects. For example, if there is a younger pet, make sure there is nothing dangerous for them to find and potentially chew/eat on the floor. Overall, just understanding and taking into consideration that every pet is different/has different personalities, wants/needs, and ensuring they have everything they need (water, food, potty area, etc.)

About: I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and genuinely love getting to know them as individuals. I’m very observant of their behavior and tend to pick up on the little things… when they’re comfortable, when something feels off, or when they just need some space. I’ve cared for everything from a pack of 8 dogs to senior and more delicate pets who needed extra attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters in areas with large stray populations, so I’m comfortable with animals who may be nervous, cautious, or take a little time to trust someone. I’m comfortable with medications, special food preparation, sensitive diets, and whatever routines help an animal feel secure and at home. I’m also happy to care for animals who need a little more patience or one-on-one attention. I take caring for someone’s pet seriously. I know they’re family, and I want both you and your animals to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Looking forward to making your life a little easier however I can. 🫶🏻 My work is part-time and flexible, so dog walking fits easily into my week. I'm usually available weekday mornings and afternoons, plus most weekends. I'm happy to set up a regular walk schedule or fill in last minute when your plans change. I'll always show up on time and send a quick update and photo after every walk, so you know exactly how your pup's day went. Your dog's safety comes first on every walk. I use a secure leash, check harnesses and collars before heading out, and stick to routes that suit your dog's energy, age and comfort level. I always carry water and poop bags, watch for hot pavement and other dogs, and follow your instructions on feeding, treats and house rules. I treat your home with respect and make sure every door and gate is locked when I leave. I have my own Cocker Spaniel, Gwennie, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to hand over your best friend. Years in high-end restaurants taught me reliability, attention to detail and calm under pressure, and I bring all of that to caring for your pup.

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.

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: I’ve taken care of and owned pets my entire life, animals bring me so much joy and I love being able to understand and care for them :) I have volunteered at rescues and shelters in California on and off over the past 15 years. I have experience working with all kinds of animals with a plethora of temperaments and personalities. I always let the animal lead the introductions and am grateful for advice from the person that knows them best, you! I also have experience with positive-reinforcement based training from volunteer and personal work. I have a hybrid work schedule M-F so am pretty flexible. I’m happy to take same day bookings, especially if you’re close in location. Feel free to reach out and we’ll figure out if it’s a good fit! I don’t offer sits in my home unfortunately, but have plenty of experience house and pet sitting in clients homes. I’m happy to do drop-ins or longer stays.

FAQs for House Sitting - Morro Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Morro Bay is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $139 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 492 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morro Bay. 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 Morro Bay 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 Morro Bay 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 Morro Bay 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 Morro Bay. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
