“We recently utilized Brittany's pet-sitting services for the second time, and once again, she exceeded our expectations in every way. Entrusting our two dogs, who have multiple specific needs, to a caregiver is never an easy decision. Brittany's exceptional attention to detail and genuine affection for our pets made it an effortless choice. Brittany adhered strictly to our feeding schedule and ensured that our dogs received ample playtime and social interaction. She provided us with multiple updates and videos throughout our time away, which not only showcased her commitment to their well-being but also gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. Her excellent communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our animals make her an invaluable resource for any pet owner. We are consistently impressed with the quality of service Brittany provides and feel completely comfortable with her caring for our dogs. As long as she is available, we will continue to engage her services. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. Thank You Brittany!”
“Another great sitting by Nina. My Sadie is 14 and recently had dental surgery. Nina handled it like a pro and was happy to chop up Sadie's food until her gums are doing better. I left my house is fairly good shape and came home to a house better shape! I am totally stress free when having Nina stay at my house. It makes my time away more enjoyable knowing my dog is in good hands!”
“Charlene was amazing! She kept in contact with me daily, administered my older kitties meds, checked in with me to make sure I’d be home as expected and embraced one of the cats snuggling and sleeping with her. A true joy and highly recommend!”
“Leah was amazing! She initiated a meet and greet upon booking, she walked our dog, and she took such great care of him while we were away! She is extremely kind and caring and communicative! Would 100% book her again!”
“Regina took amazing care of our pup, kept us updated and left the house and pup in excellent condition. She was super sweet with our dog, very respectful and knowledgeable. We feel so grateful for her work with our fur baby! Thanks, Regina!”
“I'm so happy that I found Amanda! She handled my three doggies with ease and on short notice. It's no small thing having a stranger sleep in your house, but I felt at ease with Amanda. She was a perfect house guest, and I came home to three calm and happy dogs.”
“Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings”
“We had a wonderful experience with Maryann! She took such great care of Lucca and treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve been a passionate pet owner and sitter for over six years, with a special love for dogs. I’m devoted to providing safe, fun, and personalized care for every pup. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every pet like family. I’m a college athlete with a busy academic and training schedule, so I’m available to care for your pets on weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have class from 12 to 4 p.m., but I’m flexible outside of those hours. My love for dogs and years of pet care experience means your dogs will get top-notch attention and care! I understand how important your home and pet’s safety are, and I take that very seriously. I will always respect your home by following your guidelines, keeping spaces clean, and ensuring your pet has a calm, secure environment. I value responsibility and honesty. You can trust that I’ll provide the best care for your pet and peace of mind for you.
“Ashlee is the best! She is so good with my doggies. She has to work to get them to warm up to her and then they fall in love with her. She house sits for us and even sleeps with our “girls” on the bed. She goes above and beyond so we always know we come home to happy doggies and a clean and well kept home! 5 stars!!!!”
“Jose accepted a last minute request for five days of house sitting for our two dogs who are both very anxious and shy. They’d never been left alone or with anyone else. Jose (and Joey) were amazing. They were patient with our dogs, letting them slowly come out of their shells, sent regular pictures and check-ins, keeping us updated on how things were going. And they went above and beyond, making sure Maui and Rain were alone as little as possible, giving them lots of attention and playtime. They took great care of the house too. We arrived home tonight to happy, healthy pups, who show no signs of stress despite being away for five days.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.
“Natalia is wonderful. She took such great care of my elder cat when I was away. Great communication, timely photos, and she left the house cleaner than I left it. I’m grateful for Natalia and will definitely ask her to care for Precious in the future. 🤗”
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I was in 4-H for 8 years and grew up on a ranch. I have volunteered for Canine Companions as well. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for, play with, and love on your pups! Whether it’s early morning cuddles, midday potty breaks, or evening walks, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it like my own—clean, secure, and full of love for your furry family member.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Escalon on Rover is $78.88 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 514 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Escalon. 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 Escalon 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 Escalon 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 Escalon 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 with handling special pet needs in Escalon. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
