“Jace was fantastic! He took great care of my pit bull Dottie while I was away. He kept me up to date with photos and highlights each day. He was friendly with my neighbors who witnessed him walking Dottie regularly. Jace was an excellent house guest who left the place better than when he arrived. I would 100% recommend Jace, he is a true animal lover. Thanks again!!”
“Christina recently cared for dog and stayed at my house for 3 nights. She is experienced and it shows. She took good care of house and dog, kept in touch and sent a few photos. I felt relieved and enjoyed my time away knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again when she is available.”

About: I have experience of 5 years as a cat owner and have been volunteering at the Fresno Animal shelter with dogs of all sizes for 2 years now. I have been trained to understand and report dog behavior. I work to provide enrichment for dogs through walks and yard play, while building bonds. Additionally I have done foster care with them for cats of all ages. I have experience in kennel, hallway, and outdoor cleaning of pets. As well as providing pets with their prescribed medications. I am a full time student but currently on summer break from June to August! I am available weekdays and Saturdays for drop in visits from 6am-10pm. I can house sit weekends and weekdays if needed. I am available for dog days walking as early as 6am and as late as 8pm. Due to Fresno weather I will not walk dogs between 10am-5pm! I will follow instructions given and ask any questions before being left alone with your baby. I strongly believe in communication between us to report any issues or follow up questions in a timely manner. I value punctuality, whether it’s providing medications on time or arriving from a walk. I will clean up after them and ensure their used areas are clean!
“Wow! If I had to describe a perfect pup sitter it is Kaitlyn. She was amazing! Great updates, house was perfect, dogs were given a bath. She definitely is above and beyond!”
“Thomas is Amazing! He is kind, considerate and very conscientious. He has been phenomenal with my 4 cats, which has been a HUGE relief for me because I have never left them for more than one day. Now I don't have to worry, which is Everthing!! Thomas sends me pictures and updates almost daily which gives me such peace of mind! I really appreciate him and feel like I've found my forever cat sitter in Thomas!”

I am very aware and attentive so your pet wont be able to chew on a shoe or dig up dirt! Any instructions for feeding/general care will be taken very seriously and followed precisely!
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
“Sara is the absolute best! She was extremely helpful, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We did have a housing issue arise, and she was very flexible and easy to work with to resolve the issue. She was very professional and timely and my animals loved her. She took excellent pictures and action shots of my pets and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. would definitely recommend her services and be a repeat client.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fresno
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fresno on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 563 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fresno. 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 Fresno 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 Fresno 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 Fresno 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.

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.
