“We used Rover for the first time and couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our pet sitter arrived on time and did an excellent job following all of our instructions, including giving Manny his medication and bringing in the mail. She stayed for four days and went above and beyond by stripping the beds and cleaning up after herself before leaving. What impressed us most was how well she interacted with both of our pets, especially since neither of them is particularly friendly with strangers. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again. She made our first experience with Rover a great one!”

About: Growing up around pets, I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years with drop-in visits, feeding, daily walks, playtime, and overnight sitting. I prioritize maintaining your pet's exact routine so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. You can always expect timely photo updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind! Pet care is a dedicated priority in my routine. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality, uninterrupted time to your pets. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day drop-in visits, feeding, or evening play sessions, I am available to stick to your pet’s exact routine so they stay happy and comfortable throughout the day. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are completely secure at all times.

I treat your home with total respect, maintain a clean environment, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Max was amazing with photo updates and text messages throughout our 5 day away vacation. We could tell our dog and cat were calm and happy due to his attentive care. He was prompt in arriving which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and have already booked him for our next away trip!”

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.

“Melanie was fantastic with Juno, my senior cat, and Luka, my dog for a day house sit. Her communication was excellent leading up to and throughout the stay. She sent clear updates the whole time, including for Juno's med administration. She treated both of them like her own, taking Luka on walks and adventures around the area and made sure Juno was getting enough attention. She made sure everyone stayed happy, healthy, well fed, and was well cared for. I was pretty nervous leaving them for 4 days, but Melanie made it very easy and reassuring. I highly recommend her!”

August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Having owned cats my entire life, I've picked up a knack for cat whisperering. I know how to read a feline's cues, respect their boundaries, and quickly earn the trust of even the shyest or sassiest cats. ​I also bring professional dog training experience to the table. allowing me to read your dogs body language and happily reinforce your puppers good habits while you’re away. ​Beyond cats and dogs, my heart has always had room for critters of all kinds. Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own. Im currently doing freelance work and can accommodate most schedules! Feel free to reach out and we'll make something work. i am sure of it! I’m detail oriented and can follow instructions to a T. I have no issues reaching out if instructions aren’t clear. Although, I am more than capable of caring for most creatures without instructions, I’d rather keep to their routines. I will make sure the only thing your pet(s) feel like is different from their schedule is that they also get my love while you’re away.

I take care of dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small animals. I promise you that any animal in my care will be treated as if they were my own. You can trust me with your pets, I have a special place in my heart for the beautiful creatures of this planet. Your animal will be in great hands with my care and I promise all rules will be followed.

About: Hi! I’m Susan! I’m a native Manteca girl. I have loved animals all my life but especially dogs!! When I’m with dogs that aren’t mine, they can sense my calm and rarely has there been a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m a calm person and always expect the best from my pets and they act that way. I believe that a calm owner or person in charge of any dog, creates a calm atmosphere which also makes it fun. I would love to meet your fur baby and love them just like you would. You can be assured while you are away that your four legged family member will be happy and well loved in your absence. I look forward to meeting you soon. I have my own part-time businesses, including Pet Sitting, so I consider myself available, almost always and very professional. Thank you for considering my services. Currently, I am unable to have my own pets, that’s why I love to pet sit for others. It gets my doggie fix in. I do have a cat, but he is partial to my mom, though he lets me love on him.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hills Ferry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 317 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hills Ferry. 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 Hills Ferry 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 Hills Ferry 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 Hills Ferry 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
