“We’re so grateful for Analisa. She agreed to watch our boys at the very last minute and was excellent in communicating with us her entire stay. We will definitely be using her for our future needs.”
“Chrissy accepted our booking the day before and we were extremely grateful. She asked questions ensuring she had the proper instructions to care for Stark. We received updates & pictures throughout the care. She was very flexible with our schedules. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Grace was amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated and they were well cared for. She reached out with any questions. She also took great care of our house and kept everything tidy for us. We would absolutely use her services again!”
“Waymon was great!! Our original sitter was a no show and Waymon saved us and our trip. He was available for us on such short notice and provided us with lots of photos and updates to keep us at ease and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I am currently an animal care assistant at a pet hotel where my main task is walking and taking care of animals straying with us! I also have been a vet assistant for a little under a year now but have handled numerous animals in my time! I would feed, clean, walk, and bathe as well as administer medications, flea/tick, dewormer, vaccines, etc! I’ve also grown up with cats my whole life and help walk my friends and family’s dogs from time to time! I am currently a college student at UC Davis and am available all weekends, as well as Monday Wednesday and Friday 9am-4pm! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available 11am- 2pm depending! I love snuggling and playing with all furry animals but know when boundaries are set! I am very attentive and will always be aware of mine and your animal’s surroundings
About: I've grown up in a family that owns cats. My family cutie cat was adopted 3 years ago and is almost 4 years old! Therefore, I LOVE interacting with different animals that have their unique characteristics. Knowing that every pet is different, I will do meet & greet before starting to take care of your furry family members. At the same time, I will carefully document my interactions with them to make sure you are comfortable with my feeding, playtime, medication delivery, and following any specific instructions to keep pets happy and comfortable. If you have younger/older pets that may need more consistency, I will definitely be more gentle with my care. My goal, like many sitters, is to always let your pets feeling safe with me while you're away. I have the confidence that your family members will be treated with real care!!! Thank you for reading my profile and I am looking forward to your request :) Even though I’m a student, pet care still fits well into my routine because I manage my time carefully and have enough flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m used to staying organized with my schedule, so making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins is something I can plan for and stay consistent with. I also enjoy being around animals, so pet care feels like a meaningful and enjoyable part of my week. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pet’s routine consistent since I know that familiar surroundings can help them feel more comfortable. I also respect the home by keeping things tidy, being careful with doors, gates, and food, and making sure the pet stays safe at all times. My goal is to make pets feel cared for and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in a safe and dependable environment.
“Mehma was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dog and cat, along with our home while we were away. Really appreciated how responsive she was too, checking in with photos of our pets throughout the day. We’d be lucky to have Mehma pet sit for us again!!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was born. Now, I have worked as a vet assistant for 6 years in both general practice and oncology. I have helped with emergencies for all kinds of breeds and done overnight care several times. I also work and volunteer at shelters consistently so I know how to deal with animal stress. I have never met an animal I didn't love no matter its personality and demeanor so I know they are in good hands. I am a college student but have gaps in my day to go back to my apartment and take them out. I would never leave a pet at home for more than 2 hours and live with just my fiance and I also well equipped in pet care, but I will be doing the caregiving. I love every furry friend and it would be a joy rather than a chore to help care for each pet. I am well versed in medication administration, feeding, playtime, small training activities, and more. Depending on the breed or species, I would ensure I am thorough with each pets need and go from there whether thats exercise and play or just chilling on the couch.
About: I have taken care of dogs, fish, reptiles, horses and cats. I get along with most of them I am not usually afraid of any animals. My schedule is flexible, especially on holidays. I can adjust it any which way that best fits what the person and pet need from me. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs,and 3 horses. All my pets are friendly and are not aggressive. I care for people's pets as if they're my own.
“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”
“Great cat sitter from start to finish. Nayzeth followed all instructions perfectly, provided consistent updates, and clearly understands cat behavior as she does have 2 of her own. Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up quickly, which says a lot and everything was neat and tidy when I returned.”
About: There's something about caring for dogs and cats that brings my heart alive. There's nothing I'd rather do than care lovingly attentively for these animals. I am a retired English teacher, and my time is unlimited. I prefer long term, overnight sitting in your home. I am fit and love walking and playing with your loved one. I treat them as if they were my own. Having been raised caring for my families dogs, cats, horses, cows, ducks, fish, and even peacocks, I am most comfortable with animals. I follow instructions, administer medicine when necessary, and leave your home in perfect condition as you left it. Some folks say I'm too old to do this...I know I'm not. I can walk 2 miles easily with dogs. I have described my affection for dogs and cats which I hope reflects the care I will provide, and I would be so pleased to serve you.

“Bari took care of our dog for 10 days, which is a big deal for our dog. She took great care of him and sent lots of photos and updates. Bari is also very respectful of our home when she stays. And she's so sweet and nice to interact with. I appreciate Bari so much and am so grateful that she watches our dog and our home while we're away!”

“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”
“Kati was a fantastic home and pet sitter for us! She was warm and caring with our dog and our bunny and took wonderful care of them and our house. She’s extremely conscientious and quick to respond. We recommended her highly!”
“Marisela went above and beyond with my girls. I appreciate your willingness to help me in my day notice request. She was extremely understanding and patient to my eldest dog who takes a little longer to build trust. I highly recommend her services— I have very picky expectations who watches my girls.”
“Logan was amazing! We had a last minute trip over thanksgiving and he had availability. He came over for a meet and greet and our two dogs automatically adored him. While we were gone he kept us up to date on the doggos. But when I really knew we would be using him again was when we returned. First, our dogs cried at the door for 20 minutes after he left. They have never done that for another dog sitter. Second, often when we come back from a trip it takes the dogs a couple days to readjust to our normal routine. Not this time! It was obvious that Logan had followed their daily routine to the letter. He’s professional and caring and I will be using him again! You can trust him with your fur babies!”
“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,802 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Esparto. 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 Esparto 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 Esparto 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Esparto 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
