“Erin took wonderful care of our girl Tinky! We came home to a happy and secure girl. Erin is a good communicator, conscientious, and dependable. It is evident that she loves animals. I was able to relax knowing that our crew was safe and taken care of.”
“Jennifer was very good with Wilson. He got to go on lots of walks when Jennifer stayed for the weekend. We loved seeing the pictures she sent of Wilson. We could tell he was well cared for.”
“I had less than a week notice before I had to leave for a 5 week long training but thankfully Tarah was able to commit to house sitting/watching my 3 cats while I was away. One of my cats has bad separation anxiety and needs a lot of love and care. She sent me nuanced updates related to house issues and observations about the kitties. She is very observant and detailed in her assessments on their daily behaviors. It’s evident she has a lot of knowledge about how to keep cats relaxed and happy and as VERY anxious cat mom I’m happy to report I was not worried at all about their care while being away for so long. Ultimately, I came back to a clean house and calm and happy cats 🙏🏻”
About: I’ve had many pets my entire life, I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old, and currently work at a Pet Boarding/Daycare Facility. I’m a college student and working part-time at a local Pet Resort and would love to spend my free time helping and hanging out with even more animals! I will always do my best to fit as much time to care for your pets in my schedule as needed and as we’ve discussed. I think it’s important to follow your pet’s routine as to keep them as comfortable as possible, whether it be a strict schedule for me to adhere to, or a casual go-with-the-flow kind of deal, I will always do what’s best for your pets.
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
“Dyanna has watched my dog a couple times now and she has been great! She is communicative, sends updates, and is very responsive. I know my dog is well taken care of when I am out of town and love that she enjoys watching him.”
“We’ve never had a house-sitter before and Paul exceeded all expectations! He took such great care of the pup and the house. I got regular updates and photos, and Freddy seemed to have a blast. Highly recommend and appreciate Paul!!”
About: I love hanging out with dogs while their parents parents are away! I am a big hiker, so on the weekends I love taking the dogs out for a hike/long walks and even the beach if allowed! I currently work 8-5 with occasional early entry at 6am. Weekends I am free, and evenings I am free. I am typically active early in the morning, able to feed and walk in the mornings and afternoons. I typically like to pet sit at the owners home to make the time away from the pets parents as seamless as possible! I am incredible respectful of other peoples homes and incredibly clean and tidy.
“Annalise was absolutely awesome to sit our golden retriever while we went to tour Hearst Castle on our vacation. She was so sweet and I could tell that Sailor loved her. I would definitely use her again if we visit Pismo Beach again.”
“Claire was great with the dogs. We got daily pictures and updates while we were out of town for a week, and they were happy and relaxed when we got back. Will absolutely book again.”
“Lauren did a great job. She got along with our dog (Zeva) very well, taking interest and spending time. She was also willing to do small, but helpful, tasks around our home. She responded to messages and requests promptly.”
“Alexis puppy-sat for us over the weekend and she was amazing! We have a high-energy, high demand puppy and Alexis made taking care of her look easy. She kept in touch and sent us pictures and videos that made us feel totally at ease while we were out. Plus our puppy adored Alexis and didn’t want her to leave by the end!”

“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.”

Paige did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. We have an adult dog who can be harder to introduce to new people, but Paige took it slow and gave her lot's of space (and treats). Our other dog is a very rambunctious puppy, and Paige also handled her very well. We felt our dogs were really taken care of and we are so happy with how things went. We will definitely be requesting Paige for future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nipomo on Rover is $62.16 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 493 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nipomo. 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 Nipomo 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 Nipomo 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 Nipomo 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% 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.
