About: I’ve taken care of dogs from the puppy stage to the senior stage. I started at a young age being raised around animals. In high school, I cared for the neighborhood dogs when their parents were out of town! I have experience in training puppies, senior care, dog walking and more! I currently work Monday through Friday. My husband is always home for the most part. Someone is always home! My household absolutely love animals! We make the flexibility aspect work between my husband and I. I have a fenced yard. If your dog needs to be crated at this time, I do ask you bring your own crate but, I do have space for it. There is a park nearby where I live where I can take your furrbaby too as well. For safety, I deep clean prior to each furrbaby this is to ensure safety within the vaccinated and unvaccinated dogs. I do ask that your furrbaby is up to date on flea medication.

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.🙌
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.
“Kirsten was very easy to work with, she understood and complied with all my instructions. She updated me during her visit, and I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Thank you for taking care of my babies. Moxy and Maverick loved you and they were well taken care. You did such an amazing job and communicated with me about everything they did.”

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. When I was 8 I got my first puppy never really pictured how much work it would take until I got her and she was NOT potty trained. So we got right to work and sure enough we nailed it in a few short weeks. Then came the easy part feeding, bathing and of course playing with my pup. She lasted 14 years with me. I’ve since not had a pet because of the heartache but I take care of my uncles and friends pets so It makes it feel like I still have a pup at home. Contact me today for your pets babysitting needs and the chance of meeting a new longtime friend ! I’m currently only working a seasonal part time job which starts up in March. So I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pup. During the off season im available Monday,Wednesday,Friday and best of all weekends!! Im available as early as 7am and as late as 11pm. During the season I’m available Wednesday,Friday and weekends as well. My hours do not change unless you ask for an accommodation which I am more than happy to make for you and your furry friend!! I do not have a fenced yard but I have a huge yard where they can roam around and play with my supervision of course. I do not like to leave them unattended nor crated but I can crate them if you ask. They are free to roam around in my home as they’d like. I have an extra room that I’ve converted into a pet room full of blankets, beds and tons of toys!

About: Thank you for reviewing my profile! I am unable to edit, but my preferred name is Astro. I am a 23-year-old ag-business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This June 2026, I have cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat for two different weeks. I will be housesitting for her this June 21-28, so I will only have availability for walks and drop-ins at this time. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy! June 21-28 I am booked for housesittng, but available for drop-ins and walks. My earliest availability starts 1:30pm on Monday thru Thursdays as I work 8a-12p. Fridays I work 10a-2/6pm so I can drop in before 9a or after 2/6pm. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she has been away a week + weekends, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished. In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).
“Nico had another great week with Nelson. Nelson goes above and beyond, making sure Nico is pampered and sends regular updates. He always leaves the house spotless and removes all the stress of being away from my old Carolina Dog. You can rest assured your pet will be in excellent hands with Nelson!”

About: Passionate about caring for your furry friend. When life happens count on me to care for your baby, I think it's important for our pets to have someone to watch them when we are away or busy. I am currently on summer break from work. I work as a part time aide at an elementary school and looking to stay busy and share my love to your pets. I am available everyday. I have a fenced backyard that they can freely roam in and can cage them if you would prefer that. I am okay with indoor dogs and would love for them to cuddle on the couch with me if that's what they like :) my main priority is for your pet to be as stress free as they can be when you are away. I have 2 friendly miniature poodles of my own(I can easily separate them, if needed).

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.
“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!”


About: I have cared for animals from a very young age and have always had a strong love and respect for them. Growing up, my home was always full of pets. Which gave me a lot of hands on experience with different types of animals and thier needs. Being around animals my whole life has taught me patience, responsibilities and a natural understanding of how to care for them. I am very good with animals and take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved Whether it's giving them treats, walking, or playing, i always make sure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow those routines so they feel happy and secure. When caring for someone else's pet, i treat every animal like my own. I know how important pets are to their families and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners feel at ease. I have a very flexible schedule and am available at most times, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive pet care whenever it's needed for you. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I build trust by following each pet's routine including feeding and exercise. I give them plenty of attention, supervision, and affection so they feel secure and relaxed while their owner is away.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life and have more than 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets.

I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work a full-time schedule during the week 7am-4pm, but pet care easily fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. I’m available before and after work (5:30am-6am and 5pm to 8pm), on weekends (full availability), and for drop-in visits throughout the week. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well.

My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“I was very pleased with the service Errol provided. This was my first time leaving my pet with someone besides family, and also having them in my home while away. Errol made me feel at ease and provided excellent care to my senior dog. I will definitely book with him again!”

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life. I know all the responsibilities and how to take care of them. I’d love to help out anyone who needs it. I can understand pets boundaries and respect them. If pets need special requirements I am willing to learn! I am not working currently so I am always available. I also have a working car so I am able to commute and transport. I accept last minute requests and cancellation. In my home all my pets are indoor. They see the vet when needed and are always loved and cared for. One of my dogs is not doing too well and have to give her medicine twice a day. I know how to keep my pets happy and healthy and would love to help others! Many friends and family rely on me to watch after their pets if needed. I know how to read body language and handle emergency situations.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dos Palos
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 118 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.
