“I appreciate Marla staying at the house with my "kids". My dog Gracie seemed to be fond of her, judging by the picture Marla sent of the dog cuddling on her lap! Everyone was well cared for and my house was in order upon my return, and I was at peace while I was away. This was the first time I've had anyone other than family stay in my home, so I was a bit nervous, but am so happy I chose Marla to be the first, and would not hesitate to use her again if needed. - Lisa -”
“Kiah was absolutely wonderful. We were gone for just over a week and we got daily pictures and videos of our dog’s adventures. She was more than happy to continue building training/good behavior as he has been with us for only a couple of months. Although I cleared it beforehand, she went above and beyond watering my garden and even took our dog on adventures and (approved) multi-dog walks, helping socialization and confidence! We will absolutely continue to use her services!”
“Carlos is a cut above the rest - he was responsive, prompt, punctual, and he really stands out with his calm energy and conscientious care. Our puppy LOVED her time with Carlos while we were at a friend's Paso Robles wedding. It was obvious from her photos that she had a blast, and she was quite a happy camper upon her return as well. We are really grateful to have found Carlos - and we really wish we lived closer so we could use his care all the time!!”
“Brittany was amazing!! We have never felt so comfortable leaving our babies. She sent us so many pictures, videos, and text updates. We highly recommend Brittany, and we definitely want to work with her again in the future! ?”
About: I have grown up with and taken care animals since I can remember from dogs and cats to fish and birds to even chickens! I have watched puppies and senior dogs. I currently work from home as a secretary so I have a lot of free time in between calls and invoicing to love on and care for your pet. I also can work anywhere, not just at home. I can take care of your fur baby like you would depending on your preferences. I can crate your pet if needed and take them on the walks and exercise that they my need.
“Jenivieve was a wonderful dog sitter. She watched our dogs for a long weekend. She sent photos and kept in contact to ease our minds as this was our first time using Rover. I loved that she brought games and treats for them (they loved it too) and she took them on walks. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Katie is an absolute gem! Warm and communicative and clearly a dog lover. She is the kind of person you can trust right away. We are so happy to have find her and can tell the dogs adore her as well. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, cleaning enclosures, and administering oral or topical medications when needed. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and respect as if they were my own! I know every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to stick to what they're used to. Whether that's mealtimes, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, my goal is to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how they're doing! I’m based in Paso Robles and provide care along the Paso Robles–San Luis Obispo area, including Templeton and Atascadero. For house sitting, I plan my schedule around each pet’s individual needs and how long they’re comfortable being left alone. I may be away from the home at times for school, work, errands, or other commitments, so I like to discuss your pet’s routine and alone-time needs before booking to make sure we’re a great fit!
“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!!”
“Carol was everything we were looking for, hoping for, and more. We contacted Carol on short notice for a last minute two-night get away. She was available and was open to a meet/greet with us and our pups before the scheduled sitting. We felt very comfortable with Carol; her demeanor, her abundant interest and care into our dogs daily routine. It was clear Carol was for us and our beloved pups. Once our weekend was underway, Carol not only provided us pictures of our dogs, she provided astute and caring updates about our dogs. In addition to taking interest in our dogs, she displayed interest in our home. We do our best to keep a nice home and Carol picked up on that. She provided updates on the various things she'd done around the house (sweeping, monitoring a puppy, an ant infestation (sorry Carol!)), she proactively addressed it all with aplomb. I can't say enough about Carol - and I don't even like writing this review because I want to keep her all to myself. ;) But, she's a gem and sharing the good in the world is always worth it.”
“Emily was AMAZING with our two dogs! Señor and Benji were not only properly cared for, but were loved and given lots of attention while we’re were away. Emily took care of our dogs and our home for 5 days and we cannot say enough about how happy we are with her! She sent pics of the dogs and even let our crazy chihuahua steal her blanket when he had 4 of his own! What a kind person, we feel so lucky to have met her through Rover and will definitely have her back when we need the boys to be cared for again!!”
“Ashley did an excellent job watching our doggy at our home for the weekend. She was polite and professional during the meet and greet; and our doggy took to her so quickly. She sent us updates, photos, and videos during the days she was at our home. We’d definitely reach out for our next out of town trip.”
“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.”
“Pauline went "above and beyond" accommodating changes in our plans due to rain, and always responded quickly to my messages! Pauline & Richard showed up promptly for our house sitting -- they quickly bonded with our doodle who we knew was in good hands getting lots of play and attention. Many thanks again for the flexibility with weather rescheduling!!!”
“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!”
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wellsona
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wellsona. 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 Wellsona 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 Wellsona 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 Wellsona 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellsona. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
