“Jace is the absolute best dog sitter in the Fresno area especially if you have a dog that needs a little extra attention, has a specific routine they need, or some detailed instructions that they need followed like our dog Sissy. When Jace came to meet the dogs they came prepared having read the instructions we shared via the app. They also came with questions and took careful notes to make sure they had a clear understanding of everything that the dogs would need. While we were away, Jace checked in regularly with photos and updates about what they were doing. They were proactive and asked about some of our dogs needs that weren't clarified in the instructions we left. Jace also quickly followed up when we had questions about how things were going. Jace was also an incredibly great guest in our home. They kept up with their own dishes and left our home as tidy as we left it. Jace is an absolute professional when it comes to pet care and you will not be disappointed. The level of thoughtfulness, consideration, and care for our animals was unparalleled and second to none. Its clear our dogs Barks and Sissy made a new friend in Jace and are likely looking forward to the next time they will spend with them! I would recommend Jace to anyone!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Domino has received. I feel completely relaxed and at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Domino can be a little particular, but the patience, attention, and genuine love he’s shown makes all the difference. I truly appreciate the updates and how comfortable and content he looks. It’s such a relief to travel and know he’s not just being watched—he’s being cared for. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and truly treat every pup like family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to provide a safe, reliable, and caring environment. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in playmate if they enjoy socializing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. On weekends, I work short shifts at a local plant nursery, so I’m still able to spend quality time with the pets in my care. I make sure every dog receives the love, exercise, and personalized care they deserve, whether they’re staying for the day or overnight. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, dogs have a safe, comfortable space to relax, play, and stick to a routine that helps them feel at ease. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My friendly dog enjoys making new friends, but I’m always mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship, I follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

I am currently working part time as a dog groomer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is generally 12p-4p on Tues-Fri and 8a-4p on Saturday. Otherwise, I’m free to pamper your pets! I am very patient and compassionate so I’m very willing to work with pets of all personality types. I love big dogs, shy dogs, and all bully breeds. I’m also calm and considerate for nervous kitties.

“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.”

About: I've always had pets in my home. I know how important it is for our pets to be taken care of and have access to water and their food. I learned that not only do they need to be fed but they need exercise and affection. Pet care fits well in my schedule. I will most likely be available in the afternoon and on weekends. My schedule can be very flexible if needed. I have cats in my home and the way I take care of them is every morning I feed them and make sure they have fresh water. After work, I feed them again and they come inside for a bit and relax with me for a bit. I love my cats so taking care of them is no hard work for me.
“Christina was great. Super flexible about times and changing plans, as well as dealing with our dogs. They were very nervous after little interaction with other people due to the pandemic. She was great, problem solved with me, and sent photos and updates. Would hire again!”

I am currently on Leave of Absence from work due to health issues which means I have all day and night to spend with your critters. I will follow your care instructions as closely as humanly possible! Need me to cuddle them during a storm? "Cook" their food before serving it? Shove a pill in a hotdog? Give your pet an IV bag? Been there, done that. Whatever they need, I'm there.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs while growing up since I was 7. I learned how to feed, walk, bathe the pets I had. And learned more things about dogs when I had my dog Oreo in 2020.

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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fresno
Grace was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for the weekend while caring for our two dogs, our special-needs Aussiedoodle puppy and our Great Dane, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and well cared for. Most importantly, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and gave them plenty of love and attention. The biggest surprise was that she was actually able to trim our Great Dane’s nails, something we’ve never been able to accomplish ourselves! That alone speaks to her patience, skill, and ability to build trust with animals. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fresno. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
