About: I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life (wishing I could have all the animals!). When I was younger, I would cuddle up with my pets and even read to them. Back in high school, I worked at a local grooming salon, where I bathed dogs and cats. Since then, caring for animals has continued to be something I truly enjoy. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 7 years and have loved getting to know not only the pets, but their owners as well. I’ve also trained my own cat to do all kinds of fun tricks! I deeply understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and giving them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Starting October 6th 2026 my availability is pretty open. Please take a look at my availability because some days may change or send me a message. My cat has feline herpes and daily I give him oral medication to help calm his outbreak. It's not curable but I try to manage it. I have taken care of pets who need medication 1-3 times a day. I do my best to make pets feel comfortable as much as possible.
About: Proud "All 5 Star" Pet Care Expert! Whether it’s for a fun walk, a playful drop in visit or even a longer overnight stay, I’m ready to help make sure your furry friends (and home) are well cared for. You can absolutely trust that I will treat your animals with the same care that I do my own. I’ve been pet sitting and farm/ranch sitting on and off for over 25 years, so I bring a lot of years of experience with me. I have a lifetime of experience as a pet owner – currently I have one sassy Pug, a loveable Golden Retriever, a very finnicky kitty and a horse. When it comes to pet care, I’m extremely responsible, attentive and reliable. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets and those with special needs and diets, I’ve fostered puppies and kittens, given vaccinations, handled animals with behavioral challenges and I’ve even managed businesses related to animal care. I'm currently going through a Dog Training Certification Course and will soon be offering that as well - but for now, know that I have a very good educational background on dog psychology. I’m self-employed with an established local business. I have a flexible schedule, making me available for everything from drop-in’s to walks, and even overnight house/pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you AND your furry (or scaly, feathered, etc.) family members! I am self employed, so I have a flexible schedule. I'm typically able to accommodate pretty much any schedule that a pet parent needs - including drop in visits, walking and even overnight house/pet sitting. I'm also comfortable with puppies and senior dogs/cats, as well as administering medications and special diets. I'm a very detail oriented person, so whatever routine that you have I can easily adopt when I'm caring for your pets. I'm comfortable handling dogs with ALL different personalities with care and compassion. I'm a very happy and upbeat person, but I also have a calming nature, so I get along with all animals that I come across.
“I came hope to happy critters and a clean house. Gracie didn't even yowl at me when I got home, A sure sign she wasn't missing me too badly! :-) Additionally, Camille filled in almost at the last minute. Highly recommend.”
“Mindy appeared to be both very responsive and responsible. She was good about following up with daily updates and the house appeared the same as when we left it :) Would definitely recommend her.”
“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.”
About: Lifelong pet lover and pet mom offering fun walks, playful energy, and a safe environment. I’ll treat your furry family member just like my own! Working part-time for the school district leaves my afternoons and weekends wide open and completely dedicated to feeding, walking, chilling and playing with your pets. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. Safety means constant supervision, secure environments, and clear communication. I strictly follow your house rules and pet routines to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby
“Vanessa is amazing! She is a great communicator, friendly, and professional. I felt confident immediately at the meet & greet with having her watch our pug Stitch and staying in our home. Even when our plans changed unexpectedly for our departure and return she was flexible and understanding. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Sandy was absolutely a life saver for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! We had our first sitter cancel last minute and she accepted our request in s very short time, which was very accommodating as we were from out of town, staying at a hotel, had 2 dogs, and we’re going to be out late! Being nervous about leaving our fur babies, she put us at ease as she sent multiple detailed updates with photos, I was very pleased with that interaction. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Brittany did an overnighter with our pups. She and her son were fantastic and clearly spoiled they rotten (as we requested 😄). Can’t wait to use them again and I know our doggos love them.”
“Carly did a great job giving our boys the love and attention they are used to! She also did a great job sending pics and asking questions when clarification was helpful. We will absolutely invite her to come back!”
“Chloe was amazing!!! She took great care of my fur babies and the house. They are usually pretty sensitive to change and with chloe they were thriving and happy. She kept their routine and gave them sooo much love. THANK YOU CHLOE!”
“Journey took great care of our two boxers while we were away for the weekend! She sent updates with pics often which I really appreciated. We came home to two happy pups and a very clean house! We look forward to her watching our pups again soon! Highly recommend!”
“Nate and Kate are fantastic. They stayed at our house for a week and took care of Kaley, our soft coated Wheaten terrier and Kiwi, our parrot. Kaley is getting older and is on meds. Nate and Kate made sure she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Nate and Kate.”
“Ysabel took excellent care of our anxious little pup. He curled up in her lap, napped, enjoyed treats, and felt safe and cared for. Ysabel asked all the right questions of us about his needs and routine, and she sent us photo updates during her time with him. Ysabel is a reliable, professional, and courteous sitter. We will absolutely ask her to dog sit for us again!”

Finding someone you trust with your pets can be difficult, but Daryin exceeded our expectations. She was professional, attentive, and treated our dogs as if they were her own. Her communication was excellent, and we appreciated the updates. We came home to happy, relaxed pups and would definitely use her again. Highly recommend!!
Sophie is the best! I felt very comfortable booking with her, as she has had experience with boarding in her job. Also 1st job was with a vet. So she would know what to do if anything happened. Bailey loved her. She was so good with her and sent me pictures of her daily, which was so comforting, being far away. I will definitely use Sophie again!
Hannah was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! She was so helpful and flexible, and she communicated with me every day to let me know how Charlie was doing. I loved getting daily pictures and updates—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again to watch Charlie in the future! ❤️🐾
Heidi did an amazing job watching over our animals and our home while we were away. She was so communicative and send pics and videos of our doggies and our bird daily! She left the house so clean and took care of all the details so when we arrived home, it was perfect! We can't wait to have Heidi watch over our home and fur babies again soon.
Camille was a great help, and I will be booking her again! My senior dog, Frecks, was comfortable with her, and she kept him to his much-needed routines. Also, being the first time Rover user, Camille kept me at ease with texts and photos during my travels. Thank you much!!
Oat seemed happy. Lauren played with him every day. The house was neat when we got home. She did good sending text messages a couple times a day with updates & photos. We appreciated that she had a list of questions and was organized to the initial visit (before we left) to be sure everyone was comfortable.
Rachelle is awesome! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Rex was in such kind and capable hands. Rachelle was wonderful with him. Rex was happy, calm, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. During her stay Rachelle also handled an unexpected power outage with remarkable calm, maturity, and good judgment. It was reassuring to know that even in a stressful situation, she remained composed and took everything in stride. If we could give her 6 stars we would.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pismo Beach is $84 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $103 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 of November 2026, there are 556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pismo Beach. 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 Pismo Beach 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 Pismo Beach 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 Pismo Beach 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 Pismo Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
