About: I’ve grew up with more than 12 dogs in the last 10 years. I have years of experience with taking care of dogs and cats! I’ve also taken care of family pets as well, helping out with dog sitting and walks as well! I’m an Animal Science major, so I’m always handling and providing on hands care for small and large animals! My days are always clear and open so I have plenty of time to care for you pets and make sure that they give the love and care they need! I also I have a clean and fenced yard, and a friendly pup and cat to keep your pup company! She needs some time to warm up but she loves making friends after she’s comfortable, as she is a rescue dog! I love to keep my home clean not only for others and myself but my the animals as well! A clean environment is one of my top priorities when caring for these animals! I have lots of dog treats, toys, and activities so your pup is never bored! I love going on walks and runs everyday, so I would love to bring your pup on a nice run or walk or even to the dog park!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. When I was 12 I started a little pet sitting business because I was determined to meet and care for any animal that I didn’t own. At 18 I was employed at a service dog training facility in Nipomo, CA and cared for as well as worked with up to 12 dogs at one time. I raised puppies from 2 months to 6 months for their program and helped get them ready for training as well. After that I found employment at a pet boarding establishment in Arroyo Grande, CA and worked there for 3 years while attending college. I have owned dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, fish, and snakes and enjoyed them all. I have a very active lifestyle and would love to take your pets on walks if that would be something they’d enjoy. I also live a few miles from a large, fenced-in dog park, and would take them on trips there if desired. I’m open to special requests and more! I am a stay at home mom of one and am available all day every day. I take walks every morning and sometimes in the evenings and would love to bring your dog(s) with me! I have a fenced-in back yard that is mostly grass as well as some rocks. If your dog is a digger, the rocks surround the outer edges of the yards by the fence, so they’d be unable to escape! I have one 6 year-old Doodle who is vaccinated and is a retired service dog from the facility I used to work at. He is a neutered male and loves any sized dog. He would prefer the company actually! Your dog would be surrounded by love, both human and not. I can crate them if need be as well, or keep them separate from my dog as well.

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Arianna, I recently moved to Hanford. Little about me, is that I grew up raising rabbits. I am a respectful pet sitter. I adore all animals no matter how big or small! I am responsible, and trustworthy individual who is here to love and care for your pet :) Currently I do not have a job, which allows me to have open availability. With this availability I will have more time to meet and love your pets! If your pet is young, old, big or small you can rest assure I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and extremely loved. I will follow their feeding schedule, give them playtime and exercise all while keeping their environment clean. When caring for a pet in their own home, I will follow instructions carefully and treat the home with respect.

“Jasmin's life long love of dogs, and deep insight into their nature, showed from the start. She did a wonderful job helping me understand my puppy, shared invaluable training skills, and eased my first time puppy mama fears. Levi was immediately at ease with her, and loved playing with her. I was totally confident leaving him in her hands. I give Jasmin the highest recommendation. Any puppy or dog would be blessed to be under her care.”

“I was on a trip in a completely different time zone and I always worry about my cats when I’m away. However Letycia was on top of every single thing that I asked for my cats that I was able to stop worrying. She even left all of their dishes washed and clean, automatic litter box emptied, and floors clean from litter when I got home. This was my first time using Rover, and I think I lucked out with an amazing sitter. I will 100% book with her again!”

About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes through pet sitting for family members and friends. I’ve looked after large breeds like German Shepherds, medium breeds like Golden Doodles, and small breeds like Pugs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have also house sat for family members and friends, keeping their homes clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive care. I will be starting nursing school soon, but my schedule still allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can give pets a bathroom break before leaving around 6:40 a.m., return around 12:30 p.m. for another potty break and check-in, and then be back after 3:00 p.m. From that point on, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention as needed for the rest of the day. I am committed to following your pet’s routine and will complete all care instructions and household tasks before leaving. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any other specific requests. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, taking out the trash, and making sure the home is secure before I leave. I communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.

About: Animal care has always been a huge part of my life and my strongest passion. I grew up on a ranch so My life has always been about animal care. For many years now I’ve worked as a volunteer for many local rescues as well as independently fostered many animals as well. The feeling of saving an animal from a horrible situation, showing them how love and attention feels and finding them their forever home and family will always be my most rewarding accomplishments and such an amazing feeling. Aside from rescue work, I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school. It started with family and friends and just grew over time. I have an amazing clientele that I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years and I enjoy creating that trust and bond with a pet as well, I feel that it makes the time away from their parents so much more comfortable and enjoyable for them because I know a lot of animals get separation anxiety because they don’t understand what is happening and change is hard. That’s also why I like to try to keep them on the same schedule and routine as much as possible to attempt to make the transition as easy as possible. I’m experienced with elderly animals as well as special needs and puppies too! There isn’t much I cannot handle lol. I also have experience with reptiles, farm animals and exotics too. I’ve taken nutrition courses, I’m certified in CPR and grooming. I’ve taken behavioral classes and poison control courses as well. I know how to administer basically any form of medication, including IV. I love to take pets on walks when they’re in my car because it helps with anxiety and it’s all around enjoyable for us both! I may be small, but I’ve managed to walk two huskies and a pit bull at once, multiple times so personally I feel like that’s impressive lol. I take them out for many potty breaks and I understand accidents happen in the house or car sometimes as well, so I use all natural cleaners when needed. I like to give many updates, weather it’s for drop ins then I’ll let you know when I arrive and leave and send pictures in between. If I’m house sitting I’ll send random pictures and updates through out the day/night and if for whatever reason I have to leave(to the store or to get food) I also let you know. And house sitting is the same. I also have my mobile grooming kit with me at all times too so If you think your baby needs a bath, their nails cut/grinded down, teeth cleaned, or even fur colored(100% vegan and animal safe dye only) please feel free to let me know any time. I have a simple form that I ask for you to fill out during our meet, it’s just basic questions like food schedules, any allergies, medication information(If applicable) vets information and misc. things You think I should know. I have had many people even just write me a care sheet which also works. I prefer the form/care sheet method just because everything important is right there so if eliminates any room for error. I make goodie baskets for new clients as well as the end of each visit I leave a little report card you know exactly how amazing they did! I make the treats in the baskets from scratch even if they have an allergy I can accommodate! I can make treats for all animals as well. If you have any further question please feel free to reach out, I will always respond and in a very timely manner. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope I can become your pets new best friend! I’m currently working by appointment only, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can almost always work my schedule to fit yours, if there’s any scheduling conflict I will know at least 24-48 hours ahead of time and I will 100% come up with a plan with you that works! Everyone is free roam in my house but I do have multiple size kennels set up in my home as well(they are comfy and cozy as well lol) so If you have a kennel trained baby who needs them, just let me know! I also can help out with kennel training too if needed. I have a fenced in yard but they are never unsupervised. And if we are going for a walk, I like to keep in inside my gated community where there’s hardly any traffic and there’s tons of grass to sniff and enjoy! Lol If I'm not out doing TNR and rescue work I enjoy spending time with your fur baby and would love to do this full time. I myself have a fensed in yard for everyone to roam and play, but still always being attentive and making sure everyone is safe too!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hanford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hanford is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 696 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hanford. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
