“Great communication, lots of pics. House was in perfect condition. Alexis did an amazing job, I would definitely recommend her. I felt confident my pups were in great hands! Always love when the person caring for my 2 energetic pups has big dog experience. My 70lb lap dog got all of his necessary snuggles!”
“So we were a little worried and skeptical about using rover for the first time but Shauna was amazing with our pets. She sent us updates and pictures of the pets during a difficult time of year due to it being over the new year eve weekend (fireworks). She also took very good care of the house which we appreciate, would highly recommend Shauna to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Thanh-Mai took great care of our pets while we were away. She did more than what we asked for and went above and beyond to make sure our pets are well. It was raining during our trip out of town and she did not mind coming in more often to check on them. She also made sure they were fed, walked and not be in their crates for too long. Thanh-Mai communicated very well with what she was planning to do and kept us updated with pictures and videos several times a day. She took pride in her job and it shows. We would highly recommend Thanh-Mai with anyone, and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have experience working will all types of pets and their personalities: Seniors, babies, friendly, not so friendly, shy/nervous, even sick. It really doesn’t make a difference to me, i’m always going to do what it takes to make your fur baby comfortable while their favorite person or people are gone. I am currently employed with the Fresno Chaffee Zoo as a Zoological Care Specialist (zookeeper) for birds. While I’m not doing that I am on the look out for possible pet training or sitting gigs I can do because I really love animals that much! I like to ensure that animal care is a part of my daily life and I would love if you helped me with that by choosing me to care for your wonderful pet! Let me know how best to care for your pet. If you would like me to crate them to sleep or feed them at specific times of day I can do that for you no problem! I do best with written instructions :)
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.
“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”
About: I’ve grown up with a big group of animals my whole life including, dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I grew up on a farm in clovis as well as a farm in Oregon where I took care of the animals we had. I’ve been known to be very trustworthy and reliable to my friends and family for pet and housesitting sometimes watching more than one pet at a time while they are out of town! I’m a student right now living on my own. I currently have open availability and i’m looking for a full time job to do while using my passion of pet care to keep me afloat! 🤍 I don’t offer in home services due to having tow cats of my own and too many problems with cohabitation with other animals. But in your home I can adhere to any schedule provided for your furry friends incuding but not limited to, walks, playtime, kennel rounds, backyard fun, medicine, and cuddles.
About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.
About: I am a Veterinary Technician by trade so I know a lot about animals. If you have a pet that needs medication or special needs I would be able to offer that service to you. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. I have quite a few animals I take care of when their families go out of town and can provide references. I do work but can do overnights. I can also do evenings and morning drop ins or walks and my days off. We can work with my schedule easily. I won’t be able to have pets in my home because my dog is a rescue who needed to be the only dog in the household. In other peoples homes I go by whatever rules and wishes they have for me.
“Mary took great care of my pets and communicated with me about how they were doing, and she sent daily pictures. She was also very flexible when our travel plans changed, and even made the change request for me on the Rover app when I couldn’t figure it out. She also left a lovely note and a pretty vase of dried flowers. We will definitely request her for future pet sitting needs!”
“We are thrilled with the amazing job Frankie did while taking care of our dog, Mochi. From the moment we met Frankie, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. Throughout the entire time, she was incredibly caring and attentive to Mochi’s needs. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Mochi was in good hands. Mochi absolutely loved her, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate puppy sitter. Thank you, Frankie, for your outstanding service!”
About: Hey there! My name is Chloe and I am an unabashed animal lover! I’ve always grown up with pets—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, invertebrates—so I have quite the soft spot for them. At age 16, I started volunteering with the Humane Society, and continued for 2 years before going on to college to earn my degree in biology. I have over three years of professional hands on experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I am currently working towards my training certification, but have several years of experience under my belt using positive and force/fear free methods. My dog, Sprout, and I love training together and even more, showing off the results. Sprout has her BCAT, is working towards her first dock diving title, and trains for multiple other sports. My dedication to caring for animals truly comes through when you meet my dog! I’m currently working part-time which gives me the flexibility and availability perfect to care for your pet! Whether it be an overnight stay, drop-in, or walk, I make sure my clients are well-taken care of and happy when I leave. I try to follow your routine as closely as possible. Dogs find comfort in routine and giving them that extra sense of familiarity can help so much when their parent away. I live in a two-story home with a fenced backyard perfect for any pet! We don’t have many rules here, certainly none about furniture! Your pet will have freedom to roam, or, if you prefer, a safe place to be crated. I am very flexible with how you’d like me to care for your dogs!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and really started to help take care of them when I was around 15. I dog sit for family and for friends whenever they need and have always enjoyed it! Pet care for me is whenever I’m available. I do work part time and I’m a full time student but even if I am busy I can make time for your fur baby! I won’t be able to care for dogs in my own home because I am in an apartment. I will take care of the animal however the owner (you) recommends, and will make sure the animal gets a lot of love/attention! :)
“Rebecca was great and all of our dogs loved her. She understood our detailed instructions and did such a wonderful job managing them all. We will definitely request her again.”
About: I grew up in a big family with a bunch of pets. We had dogs, cats, chickens, even bunnies. I’ve taken care of fur babies up until they were grown 🐕 Your babies are safe with me🐶 I have had way too much free time lately, I thought what better way to occupy it than with a fur baby by my side I live in a gated apartment neighborhood. I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, as well as time outside if preferred. I do have a safe and minimalist home with everything your fur baby would need. Extra bowls, toys, etc.
About: I've personally had dogs since the age of 5. All of my dogs have been huge dogs over 90 pounds! I love all pets. I dog sit quite often, anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 years old. I have dealt with a lot of accidents that I totally do not mind picking up. If your dog needs a little more attention and activity that's even better for me! I currently am doing clovis community college online and I stay at home with my 3 big dogs. They love to go swimming so they do that everyday, especially cause it's too hot to walk them right now! I will almost never leave your pet unattended, which means they will be watched for however long you need me there. Hopefully that gets them to stay out of trouble.
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.
About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! 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. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - La Vina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 471 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Vina. 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 La Vina 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 La Vina 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 La Vina 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
