About: I’ve had dogs and other animals throughout my life and I’ve also taken care of family members animals. All animals hold a special place in my heart. I’m currently in between jobs so I have all the availability any time of day! Sundays are the only days I will be unavailable due to religious reasons. I will always keep an eye on your babies. If they like to hide I’ll periodically check in on them, make sure feeding schedule is strictly followed, water is constantly available, and potty breaks are regularly had.
“Eve was great! She watched my dog Bud at my place for 10 days and took care of the house while I was gone. She gave Bud lots of love and attention. She sent lots of photos and updates. I recommend her!”
“Shauna was great with the dogs. They were not stressed at all when we got home. It’s like we never left. Shauna was great with communication with us getting this set up as well as while we were gone thank you so much Shauna.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I just graduated from UCSD, currently taking a gap year while I apply for MA programs! I usually have a lot of flexibility with time! Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!
About: I've had dogs and cats (and many other animals) since I was super little, but have dog sat since I was 9. I love taking dogs for walks or just watching them! I'm super energetic and am always down for a walk. I have two cats and a dog back at my parents house! I have experience watching senior dogs and puppies! I love going on walks and taking them for a pup cup! I'm currently a full time student at Arizona State University but I am completely online so I never have to worry about leaving my home for classes. I provide safe, attentive, and personalized care for pets in my home or my clients’ homes. Depending on the service, this may include feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and maintaining routines to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a large back yard and can easily crate your animal if needed.
“Jessica did a very good job and taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for the weekend. She communicated with us and sent us pictures to let us see our dogs were happy. We will use her again for our next trip away!”
“Asianna was great! She was prompt, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. He's shy but she did a wonderful job of getting to know him. I will definitely be asking Asianna back in the future!”
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.
About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of providing daily exercise, feeding, grooming, companionship, and recognizing their individual needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I've had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been part of my day. I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for is something I genuinely enjoy. I am reliable, organized, and committed to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean by picking up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining their living area. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind during your time away.
“Absolutely amazing. Shannon was so sweet to my dog. Sent me pictures and videos of them hanging out throughout the day. I will absolutely recommend friends that visit the area to have Shannon take care of their fur babies while they explore the beautiful surrounding. I will be back and will definitely request Shannon’s services again. Thank you!’”
About: Hey there! My name is Chloe and I am an unabashed animal lover! I’ve always grown up with pets—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, invertebrates—so I have quite the soft spot for them. At age 16, I started volunteering with the Humane Society, and continued for 2 years before going on to college to earn my degree in biology. I have over three years of professional hands on experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I am currently working towards my training certification, but have several years of experience under my belt using positive and force/fear free methods. My dog, Sprout, and I love training together and even more, showing off the results. Sprout has her BCAT, is working towards her first dock diving title, and trains for multiple other sports. My dedication to caring for animals truly comes through when you meet my dog! I’m currently working part-time which gives me the flexibility and availability perfect to care for your pet! Whether it be an overnight stay, drop-in, or walk, I make sure my clients are well-taken care of and happy when I leave. I try to follow your routine as closely as possible. Dogs find comfort in routine and giving them that extra sense of familiarity can help so much when their parent away. I live in a two-story home with a fenced backyard perfect for any pet! We don’t have many rules here, certainly none about furniture! Your pet will have freedom to roam, or, if you prefer, a safe place to be crated. I am very flexible with how you’d like me to care for your dogs!
“Coralie house-sat over the weekend with my lab April. She took such great care of her and sent me pictures of her on walks and playing with her dog Zia. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and when I got home April was happy and healthy and she even loaded my dishwasher :) Coralie is very reliable and so great with my dog. We always have great experiences with walks and pet-sitting. Highly recommend her!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Chowchilla is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per night. 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.

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 Chowchilla 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 Chowchilla 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 Chowchilla 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.
