We are grateful for your professionalism and look forward to your services in the future. Thank You!”
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.
“This is our second time having Jose watch our animals, and he was absolutely amazing, just like the first time! He was great with our animals, especially our more anxious dog. Will definitely be a repeat client 🙂”
“Jamie was a caring, kind sitter and I felt totally confident after meeting her that she would take excellent care of my little dog. She was understanding and helpful while I was on vacation. A pleasure meeting and working with her on all arrangements!”
About: 🐾 TYLER'S PET BOARDING - ABOUT MY CARE I've loved dogs my whole life, and opening my home to care for them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I believe pet care should be built on trust, comfort, consistency and clear communication. 🏡 HOME SETUP Your dog will enjoy a calm, structured home environment with supervised care, regular potty breaks, photo updates, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have three friendly pugs at home and experience caring for small, medium and select large dogs. 🛡️ SAFETY & STRUCTURE I introduce dogs slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and separate dogs when needed. Feeding is done separately to help prevent food guarding, upset stomachs, or accidental sharing. 🐶⭐️ BEST FIT For boarding in my home, I'm best suited for small to medium dogs and select larger dogs only when the fit is right. For larger dogs I am also happy to provide house sitting, drop-ins, or care in the owner's home. 💤🌙 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS My home is kept comfortable year round so every pet can relax and sleep comfortably. Dogs can sleep in their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area based on their routine and habits. 📸 Communication & Updates I send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Ask me about professional photo magnets of your dog, a nice keepsake from their stay. 🐶🤝Meet & Greets Held at my home in Lathrop by appointment, preferably mornings or late evenings. 🌅🚗🌙Drop-Off & Pickup My preferred drop-off and pickup windows are 8:00–10:00 AM or 8:00–10:00 PM. I’m happy to coordinate within those windows whenever possible so each pet has a smooth, calm transition. Flexible, open schedule, your pet gets my full attention and care, morning to night. I work from home so fully committed to making your pets stay as amazing as possible! Your dogs and animals will be safe, loved, and treated like family in a clean, pet friendly home. I follow your pet’s routine closely and provide constant supervision and affection.
“Logan is amazing. He has supported our doggy pack with our crazy schedules and even last minute emergency trips for house sitting. Reliable, caring, kind and communicative! 🙏🏽”
“Jesse was kind, organized, communicated with us while we were away...and the dogs took to him immediately. He has a great energy and we hope to be able to have him watch our girls again! Zero complaints. All praise.”
About: I am a college student at Chico State, my mayor is Ag Business. I lived with dogs my entire life and sharing is caring. I enjoy putting others priorities instead of mine because that will bring happiness to the individual and that will make me happy. I use to work at a BBQ restaurant as a waiter at first then became a cook and ended as an assistant manager. I left the restaurant business because I wanted to go to College in California. Now I’m here enjoying the California culture. I would be more than happy to help you with your dog needs. Feel free to contact me at any time of any day. Ohh I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador my father raised me bilingual.

I’ll treat your pets like my own and give them the love and care they deserve! I currently work full-time, but I’m available most mornings and after work for pet care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, walks, and visits when booked in advance. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they’re in my care. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Coralie house-sat over the weekend with my lab April. She took such great care of her and sent me pictures of her on walks and playing with her dog Zia. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and when I got home April was happy and healthy and she even loaded my dishwasher :) Coralie is very reliable and so great with my dog. We always have great experiences with walks and pet-sitting. Highly recommend her!”
“Eve was great! She watched my dog Bud at my place for 10 days and took care of the house while I was gone. She gave Bud lots of love and attention. She sent lots of photos and updates. I recommend her!”
About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
“April was absolutely great! I received picture updates daily and she took care of my diabetic dog that receives insulin injections twice a day with no issues. Will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up on a small farm, and from as young as I could remember, I was always the “Animal Wrangler”, and main caretaker for my friends’ and family's pets, anytime I would visit. I started pet sitting more professionally in 2012, beginning Team Max as an All-In-One, Pet/House/Child Sitter, with Cleaning, Transportation, and General Task Assistance available, as additional services. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, from big to small, old, or wild, and most with special needs. (Only Spiders are off limits). I’m currently getting my degree in Animal Training, followed by a Vet Tech degree; so, soon I’ll have a brochure of training opportunities I can provide and more. I'm available 24/7 for short term and long term stays; including emergency visits, performing additional tasks, and providing grooming or training services during anytime of the year! I like to build a foundation of trust by meeting with my clients beforehand. Not only for us and the pets to feel safe and comfortable, but, I enjoy getting a walk-through of the house, learning how it functions, and talking through any concerns, prior to the first stay or visit.
About: I’ve cared for rescue dogs for more than 15 years, and I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior—and I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to giving each dog the care, structure, and affection they need to feel relaxed and happy during their stay. I have open availability and spend most of the day at home, so dogs are rarely left alone. Caring for my 3-month-old baby keeps me on a home-based routine, which means your pup will always have supervision, company, and plenty of time for walks, play, and relaxation in a calm, safe environment. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. My friendly dogs love having visitors, and we always do slow, calm introductions. We follow each owner’s routines closely and can crate your dog if needed. I make sure every pup feels safe, supervised, and comfortable—just like part of the family
About: I provide a stress free and free roam experience for your pet (and sibling), where they can feel at home. I only take one pet and a sibling at a time to facilitate this environment. All dogs must have mandatory vaccinations; rabies, Distemper (DA2PP), Bordetella, Lepto, and flea medication. Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVCP), and flea medication. After multiple life changing events, my home feels unnatural without a pet. I work as an elementary school teacher nearby and enjoy walks or slow bike rides on my trike in the evening. On weekends, I enjoy throwing a frisbee with my son at the park, we'd love to have your dog play with us too! I treat animals as another member of the family who deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention. A little spoiling here and there doesn't hurt, right? I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of shade for your little one to roam safely. My neighborhood is older and quiet, perfect for peaceful naps.
“Errol helped us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute Dog sitter for our two pups. He brought a calm energy that the dogs loved, and I felt completely comfortable, leaving them in his care. The house was in the same condition that we left it, which has not always been the case with previous sitters. He sent pictures of the dogs throughout the day which I loved and checked in periodically to let us know how things were going. I would absolutely use his services again, great sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gustine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gustine. 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 Gustine 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 Gustine 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 Gustine 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 Gustine. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
