About: I’ve had every pet you can possibly imagine and I’ve taken care of them with all my love and knowledge! As a kid I wasn’t allowed to have cats or dogs as we lived in a small apartment. So I had hermit crabs, hamsters, turtles and fishes. At age 15 I got my first cat and now I’m a proud cat owner of 5! 2 of them live with me and the other 3 stayed with my mom when I moved out 2 years ago. But I still make time to visit them often. I also have a 1 year old puppy who I love very much. I also had a Veiled Chameleon who I had for almost 4 years. She past away last April but she lived her full life expectancy and had an enriching life. Im able to give oral medications, potty breaks, walks, play time, and cuddles. I work a 4/10/40 scheduled which is 10 hour days, 4 days a week, 40 hours total. I work 3 days in the office and 1 day from home and I am off Friday through Sunday. I have 2 loving fixed inside females cats and a 1 year old crate trained puppy who is also fixed. They are very loving of other animals and mostly just curious. They are all vaccinated as well.

About: Pet Care Bio — Jennifer Q., Dinuba, CA Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a lifelong animal lover based right here in Dinuba. If your pet is part of the family, they’ll be treated like part of mine too. Services I offer: I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight boarding in my home — for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. A typical visit includes fresh food/water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, plus daily photo/video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. For walks, I love doing sniffari strolls around local parks and quiet neighborhood routes, always on-leash and at your pup’s pace. For stay-ins, I keep your pet’s exact routine — feeding times, crate training, medications, special diets — so things feel normal while you’re away. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy rescues, high-energy puppies, multi-pet households, and basic oral medication administration. My home is pet-safe, smoke-free, with a clean, unfenced yard area and plenty of cozy nap spots. I only take 1-2 boarding clients at a time so every pet gets real one-on-one attention, and I never leave boarding pets alone for long stretches. My experience: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10+ years. I grew up with family dogs and cats, and for the last several years friends, neighbors, and coworkers in the Central Valley have trusted me with their pets while traveling. I’ve handled everything from energetic puppies who need structured play, to senior dogs who need slow walks and joint-care routines, to independent cats who just want a clean litter box and a trusted lap. I’m calm, patient, detail-oriented, and I’m big on positive reinforcement — no yelling, no harsh corrections, ever. Availability & time with your pets: I work a flexible, mostly work-from-home schedule, so I’m home for the majority of the day. Boarding dogs are rarely alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time, and I can do mid-day walks/drop-ins during the week and on weekends. I’m available for holidays and last-minute bookings with notice, and I’m happy to do meet-and-greets in Dinuba/Visalia area before any booking so you and your pet feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness come first with me. I’ll send you plenty of updates, follow your instructions to the letter, and leave your home just as I found it. I’d love to meet your best friend! . Availability & time with your pets: I work a flexible, mostly work-from-home schedule, so I’m home for the majority of the day. Boarding dogs are rarely alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time, and I can do mid-day walks/drop-ins during the week and on weekends. I’m available for holidays and last-minute bookings with notice, and I’m happy to do meet-and-greets in Dinuba/Visalia area before any booking so you and your pet feel comfortable. Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety is always my first priority, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. In my home — for boarding & daycare: I have a clean, quiet, smoke-free home in Dinuba with a secure, fenced potty area. I only accept 1-2 boarding pets at a time, and never board large and small dogs together unless they’re from the same family. Pets are never left alone for more than 2-3 hours, and never left unsupervised in the yard. Food, treats, and toys are always kept separate, and I follow your feeding and crate/sleep routine exactly to reduce stress. I do a full pet-proofing sweep before every stay — no exposed cords, toxic plants, or small objects within reach. I also send daily photo/video updates, so you always know how they’re doing. In your home — for house sitting & drop-ins: I treat your home and your routine with total respect. I follow your written instructions to the letter for feeding, medications, walks, and house rules. I keep doors/gates double-checked, leashes secured before opening any exterior door, and I never bring other people or pets into your home. You’ll get time-stamped updates with photos at every visit, and I’ll leave your home exactly as I found it — clean, locked, and with a happy, tired pet. For all services: I always do a free meet-and-greet first so we’re all comfortable, I’m happy to provide ID verification, and I have a local emergency vet mapped out with your vet’s info on file before any booking starts. I use positive reinforcement only — no harsh corrections, ever. Trust is everything in pet care, and I take that seriously.

About: I’ve been surrounded by tails and paws my whole life, but nothing taught me more about true pet care than raising my own dogs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I treat every pet as if they were my own by giving them the kind of care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, providing comfort, or playtime, I make sure each moment counts. I’m available for overnight boarding at any time on weekends and weekdays. Doggy day care is available for all hours & days. Drop-In Visits & Walks are available WEEKDAYS : (6:30AM-12PM) or (6PM-8PM) & weekends at anytime .This makes it easy for me to accommodate overnight stays, walks, drop in visits, and day care. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or weekday work trip, you can count on me to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, safety is my top priority. I provide a secure fenced area, pet friendly space that’s free from hazards, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I make sure food, toys, and rest areas are suited to each pet’s size, age, and needs, and I always supervise to keep everyone safe and happy. I always keep a close eye on pet behavior and health so I can act quickly if something seems off.

“Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes through pet sitting for family members and friends. I’ve looked after large breeds like German Shepherds, medium breeds like Golden Doodles, and small breeds like Pugs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have also house sat for family members and friends, keeping their homes clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive care. I will be starting nursing school soon, but my schedule still allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can give pets a bathroom break before leaving around 6:40 a.m., return around 12:30 p.m. for another potty break and check-in, and then be back after 3:00 p.m. From that point on, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention as needed for the rest of the day. I am committed to following your pet’s routine and will complete all care instructions and household tasks before leaving. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any other specific requests. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, taking out the trash, and making sure the home is secure before I leave. I communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: For work experience, I did work at a doggy daycare back in my home state of Kentucky for 1 year and 3 months. I was in various positions like dog handler, kennel tech and daycamp handler. In summary, I learned a lot and have experience in reading dog behavior and body language to see if they have any stress, anxiety etc.. I also have experience in feeding meals to the pups based on what their parents’ instructions were, and also keeping their belongings clean whenever they had accidents. For Daycamp, this was where dogs who weren’t a good fit to be in group, either from being too aggressive or even too energetic, would be in the Daycamp handlers care for that day. I would take however many pups I had that day and take them for walks to the dog park we had nearby and play with them and keep them engaged with toys. I also would send their parents picture and video report cards just to let them know how their pup has been doing for that day and giving them a description on how they have been behaving! I have also had dogs all throughout my whole childhood so I have been around dogs basically my whole life. I also have a puppy of my own, a German Shepherd. I’ve always had a love for animals! I am available anytime and anywhere since I do not have another job at the moment. I will more than likely be able to work with any day or time! I will definitely give your pets love and attention all throughout the day and make sure they feel loved! I will also follow specific instructions that will be given to me to be sure your pet gets the care they deserve.

“Anessa is a fantastic pet sitter! I needed last minute pet care and she was there instantly. We met to walk through my dog’s routine and she was so kind and sweet to my dog and I. I can tell that she loves animals and treats them with love and care. She would update me constantly when something came up or if it involved my dog. She responds very quick which I really appreciated. I would definitely hire her again for any pet sitting needs. It felt like a friend was watching my dog for me.”

She spent time outside with or dogs and even took our blind dog on a walk. She communicated with us very well to inform us of any problems or if she was running late.

About: Animal Care and service was my career and my passion for many years, since I was a child. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from several Humane Societies and Animal Care Centers over the years. Loving, Caring for and protecting Animals have always been my passion as well as serving in my community. This is my opportunity to share my home, my passion and my love for animals with your (furry) family member and I am excited about that. I have always appreciated the trust, loyalty and respect given to me by the owners that love their dogs, simply put! It’s just a wonderful feeling to be around all that love. I am officially retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member, I also have a flexible schedule so that I can offer several Animal Care Services I have a gated front yard, fenced rear yard and a secure pool area if your dogs likes to have water fun, additional secure small Animal play Area (my Boston’s love it). The security cameras also give that little extra feeling of safety. I have crates, dog beds and private quiet rooms for the Animals to sleep or rest in if needed so your animal always feels totally at home. (because that’s the real goal!❤️).

About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dinuba on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 717 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dinuba. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dinuba. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
