I do my best to work with schedules into mine. I am available everyday except Tuesday and Thursday, but if it’s really needed I can work in the afternoons. I make sure your pets are included with everything I am doing. I’m my home my dogs are always doing activities, such as passing a ball, watching movies, playing with bubbles, sleeping, eating, drinking, and getting headpats. I even plan outdoor park time for my senior dog to take in the sun he needs. Like I said I want everyone to feel included so I even take my time to carrying him up and down the stairs of my house.
About: We all love our fur friends, but life gets in the way sometimes. That’s why I’m here! My family once had 5 dogs and 1 cat all at once, and I loved every second of it.

Just let me know, I am honestly really flexible. I just don’t have the space to sit, but I dan walk your pets and sit them at your home! I current can’t sit at my home, but at your home, I will follow every safety rule AND SOME because this is someone’s fur baby.
“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!”
“Nelson is amazing not just with our pup and bunnies but in general. He's helped us out last minute twice now and each time we've have felt as comfortable as we would had we been watching them ourselves. Great communicator, very flexible, and truly understands the stress pet owners get leaving their loved ones with someone new. Seriously, can't recommend him enough.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of six pets. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I make pet care a priority and strive to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, routines, and preferences to ensure the best possible care. As a nursing student and licensed esthetician, I understand the importance of attention to detail, responsibility, and clear communication. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your pet’s stay.🙌
“Alexis was great! We had a last minute need to book a pet sitter and had some difficulty finding someone with all the dates open. We luckily found Alexis and she couldn’t have been more perfect. We did the meet and greet the day before leaving on our trip and knew immediately that we could count on her to be reliable compassionate with our dachshund. We could tell that he really liked her. She was very responsive in all communication and provided many great pics of our little guy while we were away. We will recommend her to our friends and make her our first choice for future bookings. Can’t say enough about her calm disposition and caring attitude. Thank-you, thank-you Alexis for being there when we needed you. Since we were away for a family death and funeral, knowing that we had someone as trustworthy as you to take care of our pet enabled us to focus on family and make the trip as best as it could.”
“April was absolutely great! I received picture updates daily and she took care of my diabetic dog that receives insulin injections twice a day with no issues. Will definitely book again!”
About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.
About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Having owned cats my entire life, I've picked up a knack for cat whisperering. I know how to read a feline's cues, respect their boundaries, and quickly earn the trust of even the shyest or sassiest cats. I also bring professional dog training experience to the table. allowing me to read your dogs body language and happily reinforce your puppers good habits while you’re away. Beyond cats and dogs, my heart has always had room for critters of all kinds. Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own. Im currently doing freelance work and can accommodate most schedules! Feel free to reach out and we'll make something work. i am sure of it! I’m detail oriented and can follow instructions to a T. I have no issues reaching out if instructions aren’t clear. Although, I am more than capable of caring for most creatures without instructions, I’d rather keep to their routines. I will make sure the only thing your pet(s) feel like is different from their schedule is that they also get my love while you’re away.
About: I’m a full time registered veterinary technician. I’m mostly available during the weekend. During the week I’m available after work on the weekdays. I have four animals in my home, two dogs, two cats, and sometimes fosters. animals in general are my passion. I’d rather much spend my days with animals than anything else. Luckily, I’m able to do that everyday. My everyday job really is rewarding when I see patients leaving feeling so much better than when they came in. In ten years I imagine myself having about 100 dogs. I do work a full time veterinary job so I am available for care before and after work. I have a few regulars that I care for and am always open to more. I will always care for your animal like my own. Clean and caring environment. My animals have several places to be comfortable, are fed appropriate diets, comfortable temperatures, and lots of love.
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 always had a love for animals, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent years helping take care of dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I take pride in making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have lots of hands-on experience with all parts of a dog’s routine — taking them to the groomer, brushing their coats to keep them clean and comfortable, and making sure they get plenty of time outdoors. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the day! I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, whether it’s exploring the neighborhood, playing fetch, or just enjoying the sunshine together. Every dog I care for is treated like family. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and unique personalities, and I always do my best to make them feel right at home. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in loving and reliable hands while they’re away. I currently work and go to school in Mesa as a graduate student, but when my schedule allows and our availability aligns, I love spending my extra time caring for pets. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy and find relaxing — it’s a great balance to my school and work routine. Pet care is something I genuinely look forward to during my week. It gives me a chance to slow down and connect with animals, which I truly enjoy. When your pet is with me, you can trust that they’ll get gentle, attentive care every time. When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their regular routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. During overnight stays, I focus on keeping their environment calm and familiar — providing plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention while making sure they have everything they need, from meals to bedtime comfort. For drop-in visits, I check in to make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, a clean space, and gets a little one-on-one time filled with love and play. I also take time to tidy up after any messes, refresh litter boxes if needed, and ensure your pet feels content before I leave. During walks, I make sure every outing is fun, safe, and suited to your dog’s energy level. Whether it’s a short stroll for fresh air or a longer adventure, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. My goal is to make sure your pet feels cared for and loved — just as they would if you were home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with two Cane Corsos and a miniature poodle, so I’ve always been around both large and small dogs with completely different personalities and needs. I helped care for them daily by feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playing with them, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I = love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and calm, or super affectionate. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and larger breeds, and I always try to match each pet’s routine so they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I also know how important communication is for pet owners, so I love sending photo updates and making sure owners feel confident that their pets are being well cared for and getting lots of attention, love, and playtime while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available during mornings and afternoons after 2 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends for boarding, walks, playtime, and overnight care. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I love making pet care part of my daily routine. I make sure every dog gets lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while helping them feel comfortable and at home! My home in Atwater is very dog friendly and made to be a safe, comfortable environment for pets to stay in. I have both a fenced front yard and fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of secure outdoor space to play, relax, and get fresh air throughout the day. My home also has wood flooring throughout, which helps keep the space clean and comfortable for pets.
About: I have many years of volunteering at an animal shelter and my main job was to train, and social many of the new dogs they would be in. As well as my entire life my family has always had pets growing up. I am currently working full time at a dental office however I have a set schedule. I am a person that likes to be extremely organized and plan my days accordingly along with my own pets needs as well as caring for the needs of other pets. I am very flexible when it comes to changing spaces. So whatever particular care your pet needs won’t be a problem. I can follow clear directions as well if there’s anything specific to your pet needs.
“Another wonderful overnight stay with Coralie and our pets. As always she sent text and photo updates and was all around wonderful, we feel so comfortable having her stay in our home and take care of pets. It really gives me peace of mind and we will continue to use her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dos Palos. 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 Dos Palos 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 Dos Palos 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 Dos Palos 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
