“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Maria looked after our pups for a day and whenever she sent us photo updates, I swear our dogs looked so happy in her company. I could tell they just loved her. Will definitely use her services again if needed! Thank you Maria!”
“Lemuel was great! He came to watch our house and animals for a week and a half, and did a great job. We even have a couple dogs who don’t always get along and need some additional management and he took great care of that ensuring that everyone was happy and healthy while we were gone.”
“Elmer was amazing with my dog and sent frequent videos and photos. He also adjusted his schedule to accommodate a last minute change. I’m using him again next week because of his professionalism.”
About: I am a stay at home mom ready to care for your pets. I grew up with dogs my whole life. Our 8 year old pitbull has just passed away and we love the company of different pups! I’m also a nursing student. I have skills ranging from puppies to senior dogs. We love to play fetch or go on walks with the dogs we’re watching. (I make sure to walk early morning or later at night when it’s hot). I am available any day and time. I am a stay at home mom and I do school on my laptop. I am ready to care for your furry friends. I had a dog for8 years that just recently passed away. He was the sweetest dog you will ever meet. We have a fenced in yard and three children.
About: Dogs have been a part of my entire life. I've been sitting for friends and family over the last 6 years and have really enjoyed it. I am currently unemployed and available. I don't have much on my schedule and can devote all my time and attention to a dog sitting job. I will care for them just like my own. Will follow the routine and rules for the pets. Happy to have them sleep with me in the bed, etc.
“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”
“This was my first time using Adele. She was great , my golden retriever loved her . She was very good communication . Will definitely use her again . Sent lots of pictures !”
“Our pets are part of our family. Honestly, in our home, they’re more like our children, so entrusting someone new to care for them is always nerve-wracking. Between supplements mixed into meals, automatic Surefeed feeders, and a Litter-Robot setup, there’s a bit of a learning curve—but Demang and Shirley handled everything flawlessly, as if they’d known our cats forever. From the moment they met, it was clear that Demang and Shirley have a special gift with animals—a calm, intuitive presence that puts even the most anxious pet at ease. Our shy, skittish cat (who normally takes days to trust anyone) warmed up to them almost instantly. And our other cat, who loves attention, couldn’t get enough of their affection and playtime. When we returned home, the funniest thing happened. Our cats barely lifted their heads to greet us once they realized it wasn’t Demang and Shirley walking through the door! That says everything about how loved, secure, and happy they felt while we were away. It’s rare to find people who care for your pets with the same genuine love, attentiveness, and joy that you do, but that’s exactly who Demang and Shirley are. They’re true animal whisperers, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found them. I plan to use them for all our future cat care needs!”
About: I’ve had pets or all sorts since I was a small child. I grew up around cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals. I’m patient and also have experience in wildlife rehab— which means I can easily handle basic triage and medication/supplement application. Geriatric or special needs? My childhood dog was blind and diabetic. Fearful or anxious pet? I get it, I’m patient and understand animals need their space and time to gain your trust. I have a degree in wildlife biology, am a licensed falconer, and worked in retail pet care all through college. Now? I have plenty of pets of my own, reptiles, birds, mammals, and an amphibian too. I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule will hopefully change soon— but for now I’m happy to help take care of your pets as I’m free. Which is often. I’m willing and able to do drop ins on the weekends or late at night with fair warning or advance notice! Not the best early morning person, but I have plenty of my own animals that need am care— so I’m plenty capable of that too. I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Observant and patient, empathetic and gentle. I’m more than comfortable cleaning messes, handling high stress situations, and will do my best to keep your pets loved and comfortable in my care.
About: I have years of pet experience, from chihuahuas and hedgehogs to Great Danes and snakes. I will take care of yours like they’re my own. I’m a college student with a very open schedule till school starts in the fall. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and onboarding with notice. I have a fenced yard, pee pads, experience with giving oral medication, and small dogs and cats to keep yours company, also room to separate.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from big, small, old and young. I have always watched my families and friends dogs and other pets. I’ve lived and worked with all kinds of animals. I also worked in a vet clinic for about 5 years and I also have worked in Petco for about 4years. I do have a full time job, but someone is home to help out with your fur baby. But Your pets will have all my attention when I am home and will be my main priority. I have a fenced in 8.5 acre yard. I live on a farm so I do have cows, and a horse. Your pet would have lots of room to run and play.
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for 7 years, and my love for animals has led me to volunteer at local dog shelters and care for multiple pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and always treat them like my own. I’m very detail-oriented, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing extra love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am mainly free in the early mornings and later evenings! As long as I know the schedule ahead of time I am willing to make anything work for you and your furry friend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I am detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your pet receives the same love and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I also love providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Taylor was great! We were worried about leaving our cats for so long, but she kept us in the loop the entire time. One of our cats needs to be medicated twice a day and it seems like she was well taken care of. Very glad to have found Taylor.”
“Leslye did an amazing job! I had three fosters that all needed their poop picked up and to be separated from each other. She stayed and gave attention to every single one and took them for walks. One of my fosters was really injured so he needed special attention. She helped out tremendously giving him all of his medicine and doing hydrotherapy on him to help him heal. She did so great! I definitely recommend her!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fresno
We had a great experience! He took such good care of our dog and sent us lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. He followed all of our instructions, and our dog absolutely loved him! He was also incredibly thoughtful and even left us a sweet gift. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!
When Kennedy left our house, my two dogs were trying get in her car to leave with her! That’s how I knew Kennedy will be our dog sitter moving forward. We have a 15lbs schnoodle and a nearly 50lbs pit/boxer mix who love to play and cuddle and used to constant attention as we are always home, so finding a sitter that connected with them was most important. From the first meet and greet to the photos and communication during the in house sitting, we knew our babies were in good hands. I would fully recommend Kennedy to anyone needing a responsible and caring sitter.
Alyssa was wonderful with our dogs and did a great job house sitting for us. Timely, responsive, and accommodating to our requests and needs. I can't thank her enough for the care she provided our dogs and peace of mind that she provided. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a trustworthy responsible sitter.
Nicole was incredible! She was reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We felt very much at ease while being out of town for almost a week. Our dogs were happy and content, and our house well cared for. Nicole really went above and beyond expectation. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fresno is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $68 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 96% 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.
