“Coral was fantastic with our dogs and cat- they loved her! She took great care of them and our home while we were away. She is everything we were looking for in a pet sitter- warm and kind, responsible, excited to have fun with our animals, and great at keeping us updated and informed throughout her time at our house. We appreciate her and look forward to having her sit for us again soon!”
“Great! We had Carlos house-sit for our two dogs and plethora of outdoor plants. He was great with our dogs, took them on daily walks, and even watered our outdoor plants during our 5 night trip. We are always pleased to be able to use Rover instead of board at a kennel, and we will call Carlos again!”
About: Hi! I’m Sam, a fellow pet parent who knows how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your animals. My dog, Butters, is my baby, so I completely understand the feeling of leaving your pet in someone else’s care! I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine while giving them plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. I’ll also send lots of pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and happy while you’re away. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I am well versed in taking care of both! I had my first cat, Loki, for 15 years. I work full time, Tuesday-Friday. I get off of work in SLO at 5pm so I have plenty of time to check on pets as needed after 5pm on weeknights. My weekends are pretty open! I can work around whatever schedule as needed. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort and send plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away!
“There should be more than 5 stars available to give Mindy!! She’s the absolute best. She’s stayed at our house twice with our baby. She makes everything so comfortable while we are away. Very grateful for all her care and attention to our guy!!! The greatest rover!!!”
“Pauline was absolutely great with my girl Juna. She is kind, very thorough and a very responsible dog sitter who will love on your dog as much, if not more, than you do. Would highly recommend her services. Thanks Pauline!”
“Marla was very easy to work with. She has a calm and flexible demeanor. She took good care of our Maizie in our home, allowing us to feel comfortable and relaxed when we were away. We highly recommend Marla for pet sitting and look forward to calling on her in the future!”
“Kiah was top notch! Very communicative and sent lots of pics and videos. She stayed 2 nights in my home and my dog who is used to not a lot of different people caring for her, did really well with Kiah. You can tell she knows a lot about dogs and how to approach them to meet them where they are at and provide what they need. My dog also takes a thyroid pill 2x per day and she was great about giving her the medication. It is so nice to have peace of mind when you are away with your home and with your furry family member.”
“Faith was wonderful watching over our Luna. We appreciated her quick responses, pictures and updates and willingness to come in a day early to meet us and ask any questions. Will definitely rebook when we can.”
“Robyn was absolutely wonderful with Peggy. She went above and beyond to make sure Peggy was at ease while we were gone. She was on time and very communicative. It was such a relief when Peggy was absolutely excited to see Robyn the second day. Would 100% percent recommend Robyn! Thank you!!”
“11/10. Carina went above and beyond our expectations and felt safe and at ease that our little man was being well cared for while we were away attending a wedding. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have always been around animals, whether that is cats or dogs. I enjoy house sitting and would love to help anyone that needs a sitter/ walker! I also enjoy helping around the house so feel free to ask me! I currently am working part time so I have plenty of available time. I am free every night, and can work in other times that are needed. I have a fenced yard and an extra crate to keep your pet safe. I have one friendly dog that loves to have company around.
About: I’ve spent a lifetime caring for animals and children. I’ve owned many dogs, been around horses and farms, worked as a nanny, and cared for friends’ and family’s pets while they traveled. Animals and children naturally seem to trust me—I’ve yet to meet a child or a dog I didn’t adore, or who didn’t warm up to me. As a self-employed hairstylist rebuilding my clientele, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. With no children or dogs of my own at home, I’m able to give your pets lots of personal attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and love. Caring for your pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and have attended several dog and puppy training classes. I’m comfortable with crate routines, safe leash handling, walking, brushing, playtime, and keeping dogs secure and under control. I also love giving them plenty of exercise and attention—from playing ball and long doggy walks to fun outings and beach adventures.
About: With more than 15 years of pet-sitting experience, I bring a lifetime of genuine love, patience, and dedication to every pet in my care. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so I make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. What sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, preferences, and needs—from favorite toys and walking routes to feeding schedules and special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With me, your pet receives more than basic care—they receive companionship, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is for every pet to feel at home and for every pet parent to have complete peace of mind. 🐾💕 I’m currently working full time but I’m self employed and make my own schedule so I can sit and walk pets around my schedule and I can pet sit overnights. I will care for them like my own and abide by the owners inside and outside rules and regulations. I adjust to different circumstances or situations.
“We needed a reliable sitter to stay with our small dog while we were in Paso Robles, and we couldn’t have asked for a better match than Jessica. She has a warm, friendly personality and was incredibly easygoing and accommodating throughout the entire experience. Our Pom, who is usually hesitant around new people, was a bit shy at first but quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend Jessica and only wish we lived closer so we could book her more often!”
About: Greetings, I have grown up with 2-3 dogs my whole life, many of which have had health issues. I am comfortable with any type of dog and his/her accommodations. I have also pet sat for many animals, dogs included. I love being outside and would take your loved pets on walks or runs if they were in my care unless the owner asked otherwise. They would have constant access to water, food when owner specifies, and many parks and an outside yard to go to the bathroom. I believe in frequent bathroom breaks, constant attention, play, and naps. I am available after 12 am on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 10 am. I have three other people I live with who are comfortable with and will love on the dogs if they are home. I like clear instructions from owners on what they want their dogs daily routine to look like. I also request the owners immediate contact information as well as a veterinarian's (if possible), in case of emergencies.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Templeton is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Templeton
We loved having Pauline stay at the house and take care of our dog, Gator. Pauline was dependable and reliable and she left our home immaculate. Gator took to her immediately and we were very confident that Gator received nothing but kindness and attention. We knew he was in good hands because of how contented he looked in the daily photos Pauline sent. Pauline is a true gem and we look forward to having her come back.
So grateful to have connected with Victoria. Our pup is used to us being around 24/7. Being new to the area we needed to find someone we could trust. She met us to do a meet and greet. Then we decided to have her help for a few hours before an upcoming trip. Our pup had the biggest smile on her face when we got home because of how much love and play she had while we were gone. She will be our go to from now on!
My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!

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 Templeton 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 Templeton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Templeton 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.
