“Thank you so much for taking care of our Maggie! We appreciated you being on time, your communication and especially the pictures. We will contact you next time we need a doggie sitter!”
“Alanna was great to work with. She answered questions quickly and was very flexible to work around our schedules. Most important, our kitties loved her! They can be picky, but she took such good care of them. Will book again with her.”
“She is the best. I have two cats and one can be pretty shy but he was so happy to be around her and get attention. Both of my cats love her and I was happy to know they were in safe hands and getting loved on”
About: I have lots of experience with all types of animals varying from horses, chickens, goats, cats and dogs. Always looking for new pet experiences. When I care for your pets, I care for them as one of my own. My schedule from day to day varies, I try to be flexible to accommodate your pet care needs. Send me a message so we can discuss the options:) I’m very good at following directions and am adaptable to different environments. I will care for your pets in your home according to your directions
“Travis was great. He responded quickly to my initial request even though he was out of town when I contacted him. He’s so easygoing and friendly. I was completely comfortable having him in my home and my cats warmed up to him quickly! I’ll definitely be using him again.”
“Shelby did a wonderful job during the drop-in visit with Cooper! Every instruction was followed carefully, and it was clear that a lot of attention and care went into making sure Cooper felt comfortable and happy. Shelby was both professional and incredibly kind, creating such a positive experience from start to finish. It’s such a relief knowing Cooper is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is really great to work with. She is professional, responsible, kind and dependable. She has a way with animals. My shy, semi feral kitty fell in love with her after a couple of days. That's remarkable! I highly recommend Hannah to sit for your pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started dog sitting when I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with a wide variety of pets and am comfortable caring for both common and more unusual animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, snakes, reptiles, horses, and other small animals. I’m comfortable following individual feeding schedules, exercise routines, cleaning routines, medication instructions, and other special care needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple types of animals in the same household. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive care and make sure your pets receive the same love and attention they would get at home. I am currently not working at the moment, so I have my full days to give your pets the attention they need. Whether that be all day/night or just visits a few times a day. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while also respecting pets who prefer their own space.
“Aline was fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and was willing to work with Finn's training commands. Finn is reactive towards dogs but I felt at ease with Aline walking him! Will definitely be booking for future walks!”
About: I’ve had several different kinds of pets growing up and currently have my own dog and cat. I know that each animal needs its own special kind of love and I am dedicated to understanding and proving your pet with exactly what they need while I care for them. I am currently staying with family so I have an open schedule! Book me for all your pet needs and I can provide quality care :) I have a fenced in yard with three other dogs in the home to keep your pet company. These dogs are very friends and well adapted to meeting others. I can provide walks and timely feeding while caring for your pet.
About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm alert on any unexpected dangers, I take extra precautions and I am protecting the animal I'm with at all costs. Your dogs are always safe with me. Runs/jogs, walks, check ups and pet sitting available. Doggos also welcome to upgrade jobs or walks to Oceano beach time! Fun, comforting and praises included. Currently working part time so I am flexible to spend time with any fur baby friends in my area. Dog breed and the weather more so the decision maker on when time outside would be suitable. As an example, I would not walk a Malamute or a short snout breed like a French bulldog in the midday sun. I am open to walks in the rain :) I have a fenced yard, one senior dog at home as a companion for your pet and I'm able to crate your dog should you/your dog prefer. I am also available for pet sitting in your home.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have always been a big dog lover of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I frequently pet-sit for my friends and family, including exuberant young puppies, gentle older dogs, cautious reactive dogs, and anything in between. I love to play with and walk dogs at their own pace and preference, and am happy to help support and reinforce your training plans and pet rules. I have been an elementary teacher for just over a decade and am taking some time off, so my schedule is very flexible, and I would love to fill it with helping care for dogs in our community! I know it can be hard to leave pets at home for work or social events, but rest assured that with me your pet is in loving and safe hands so you can work, play, and enjoy life without worrying about your furry friend. After teaching for over a decade, I am taking some time off and would love to fill it with caring for pets to help others in my community! I have a very flexible schedule and am available to visit, walk, and care for pets on weekdays between 8 and 6. I can also be available on weekends with prior arrangement. I grew up with dogs and pet-sit often for my friends and family. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. I am also a close driving distance to many parks, including the Laguna Lake dog park. I am happy to drive within the Central Coast area to visit, play with, and walk your beloved pup as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pismo Beach
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!
Chelsea was great with our two dogs! Unfortunately one of them had an accident in the house and she didn’t hesitate to offer to clean it up. She took really good care of both of our dogs and walked our younger one. I would recommend Chelsea and rebook with her in the future. Thank you!
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.
Riley checked in on our 4 cats while we were in holiday for 1.5 weeks. She was AWESOME! So attentive to our cats and their needs/environment, very communicative (we loved and appreciated her updates and Photos) and was very kind. We felt that our kitties were in wonderful hands. Would highly recommend!
Shelby did an outstanding job and I would definitely book again. Communication was great, lots of photos with a detailed breakdown of the visit. Took lots of notes during the initial meet and greet. Punctual with all visits. I felt no stress at work with my pets care. My dog and cat both seemed to love their company! Would definitely re-book.
We found Madison to be conscientious, on time and very caring towards our kitty. Her communication was excellent and we were very happy with the service. We feel better planning future trips knowing we have someone to take care of a special member of the family!

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.

- 90% 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.
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.
