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: I grew up with dogs and had my first cat siblings in university. I’ve grown as a person because of them and understand and appreciate their special place as family. I’ve volunteered at the local shelter, as an adoption admin at a dog rescue and shelter. I’ve taken my dog to training and agility and learned a whole bunch more training skills at the dog rescue and shelter. I am also a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner which my own dogs and clients have enjoyed and appreciated. It was my nightly thing with one of my dogs. I have a special bond with animals in general and deep ones with some. It’s such a blessing, a gift I appreciate. I tutor, have a part time job, and I offer Jin Shin Jyutsu, bioresonance, and Human Design services. At this time I can only take dogs and cats who can be left alone for 4 hours at a time. Building trust with your dog and cat is of utmost importance. I am approachable and it’s important for them to have their space. They are the priority. I will play with them, practice obedience or tricks with them with positive reinforcement.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. They are not dogs to me but my babies. My last baby was 15 when he left and was blind and deaf, Losing him about killed me. So now I spend my time loving on other people babies. Yes, I am that crazy dog lady! I will also send you morning and bedtime pictures so you can see your baby is doing alright and have peace of mind. You can always text me at anytime you want to make sure they are ok:) I have a deep love for little dogs! I am fine with special diets, medicines and blindness etc.. Most dogs who stay with me don't want to leave when their owners come back as they have been genuinely spoiled rotten!

She was timely and sent pictures/updates after her visits. She also respected the needs of our shyer cat, who prefers to keep to himself with new people. Would highly recommend her!”

I am currently staying with family so I have an open schedule!

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Animal Behavior & Welfare working on my thesis in wildlife detection dogs from home. I’ve worked with dogs & cats for 10 years and have trained dogs for 8, including service dogs through a professional nonprofit organization. I have raised countless puppies in this time, so I can certainly help properly socialize your puppy so they can grow up to be the best version of themself. I also compete in dog sports for fun with my dogs, two working line German shepherds and one husky mix. So I’m well equipped to care for dogs that are… “a lot!” I’m on my way to becoming an Applied Animal Behaviorist and have finished all my coursework in behavior with a 4.0 GPA, so when your pets come with me, they’ll benefit from my extensive knowledge on understanding behavior and maximizing welfare. My prices might be a little higher than others, but I promise it will be worth it for the level of care & expertise I provide! I’m home full time as I finish my thesis remotely. The animals I care for come first, whether it be early morning potty breaks or afternoon activities. My schedule is flexible and I have ample time to give your pets the attention they need, while also giving them quiet time to rest in a private space. When pets stay with me, they have their own spare bedroom to sleep in. They can have a crate in there, or stay loose in the room and sleep on the bed. We have a small yard, so I opt to take dogs out 4 times a day to potty in a small park right outside my front door. We can play here too! A lot of dogs like to sunbathe in our yard, including my own. I have three dogs who all have different preferences in their dog friends, so it’s likely your dog will find a best friend here. Or, if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, that’s no problem either. They can hang out with just me! I always use long lines and either harnesses or safely fitted collars to walk dogs, so they can have maximum freedom to express themselves while also staying safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter based in Atascadero. For the past three years, I have cared for a household with five small dogs and two cats, providing them with feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of love. I am confident in handling multiple pets and adapting to their different routines and temperaments. During the day, I work in behavioral therapy, which helps me develop a calm, patient, and detail-oriented approach—skills that are essential for giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I am available most evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to travel between Paso Robles and Nipomo. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or daily walks, I’m here to help. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I would love to meet your furry family members and become your go-to pet sitter! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I communicate clearly with pet parents throughout the stay. I’m also mindful of safety during walks and visits—no off-leash time unless requested, and I double-check doors, gates, and feeding routines to keep everyone secure.

About: I've had pets my whole life and their care has always come naturally to me. I've brought dogs in from puppyhood and trained them in everything from housebreaking to tricks for fun. I find structure and love go hand in hand when it comes to raising well-behaved, happy pets. From an energetic dog to a geriatric dog that needs gentle care, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I am also very dependable and consistent — your pet's routine will always be respected with me. I'm a part-time employee and student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I can generally accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even some weekends based on your needs and my work schedule. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets are happy, safe, and never feel alone. Your safety and comfort are your pet's priority. I live in a quiet, pet-free residence with a securely fenced yard where pets may roam freely. I also live with a kind old Catahoula who also tolerates other pets. Either whether you board your dog in my residence or in your residence, I have a clean and peaceful environment as well as adhering to your pet's schedule strictly to keep them feeling like home and loved. You can rely on me to treat them like family.

About: I have had a pet dog for several years in the past, and I more recently have been connected to households in my hometown neighborhood to provide petsitting care for 7 households so far. Having worked with aging and young dogs, and am able to administer medication and make sure they are nourished and able to exercise. I have also had the pleasure to care for chickens and cats. Additionally, I spent a year developing technician skills in professional pet grooming services in a veterinary setting. My passion for animal care began when I started volunteering with training and socializing cats and dogs at my local animal shelter. Last summer, I worked with baby birds at a wildlife clinic. After finishing school at UC Davis, I am still looking for part time or full time work. I am generally not busy outside the home for necessarily more than 5 hours at a time. I am available all week currently! I would be happy to care for your pet at your home, but am open to the discussion of any alternative arrangements. I am practiced at being a housesitter or dog walker.

It's a bit rare to have someone who's experienced with rabbits, Lauren is top notch in that regard! It was a huge peace of mind knowing someone could drop in on them each day and also get them some exercise and human interaction. I really appreciated her enthusiasm and level of care, detail, and updates!

Bonnie provided amazing care for my cat, Leeloo, whike we were on vacation. It was our first real trip in years and I was nervous about how Leeloo would fare without us. Bonnie's updates every day and the photos she sent eased my mind and warmed my heart. When we returned Leeloo was happy and content. I am looking forward to future trips now that I know Bonnie will be there for my girl.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pismo Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pismo Beach is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 779 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pismo Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pismo Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
