About: I have experience working will all types of pets and their personalities: Seniors, babies, friendly, not so friendly, shy/nervous, even sick. It really doesn’t make a difference to me, i’m always going to do what it takes to make your fur baby comfortable while their favorite person or people are gone. I am currently employed with the Fresno Chaffee Zoo as a Zoological Care Specialist (zookeeper) for birds. While I’m not doing that I am on the look out for possible pet training or sitting gigs I can do because I really love animals that much! I like to ensure that animal care is a part of my daily life and I would love if you helped me with that by choosing me to care for your wonderful pet! Let me know how best to care for your pet. If you would like me to crate them to sleep or feed them at specific times of day I can do that for you no problem! I do best with written instructions :)
“Alexis did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated regularly on how Meelo was doing. We felt extremely comfortable leaving Meelo with Alexis and we plan on working with her again in the future!”

I love taking care of pets and making sure they have a great time. I feed them, provide water, and always ensure they are happy and stress-free. You can count on me to look after your pets. I let pets out into the backyard to play and take them on frequent walks. I always make sure they are safe and well-cared for.

I am able to give multiple updates of your pet throughout the day to allow you to have a peace of mind, I know I would be worried if my dogs were away from me for too long as well :). I have a big back yard where your little ones can play and run. I am currently doing summer school for Fresno state I am available in the afternoons after 2pm, I’ll have plenty of time afterwards. Since it’s hot right now I typically go on walks at night.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was young and have owned and cared for my own pets for over 7 years. Through caring for my pets, as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors, I've gained experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I also volunteered at an SPCA shelter, where I worked with a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I fostered a pup from this shelter for 5 months. I'm physically active and enjoy long walks, outdoor activities, and playtime, so energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while providing owners with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I currently have open availability and can easily work around your pet's routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or a quieter day with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they need. I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, so dogs who love exercise and adventure are always welcome. I also have experience fostering pets! I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I take a patient approach with every animal and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos throughout their stay.
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats for over 4 years, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I don’t work right now, so I have a very open schedule and can give pets my full attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your pet’s routine. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision.
About: I would be the perfect cat sitter because I believe every cat is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever! I’ve always had a preference towards cats since I was a little girl. I too have strong boundaries, make people earn my love, and hate loud noises! Please consider me when looking for a cat sitter. I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!
“Samuel was absolutely fantastic. Very quick with communications and follow up. Communications were consistent and informative. Momo was very happy spending time with Samuel and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Biola. 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 Biola 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 Biola 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 Biola 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
