“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Justine. I had a sitter no show the morning of my trip and was honestly panicking. Justine stepped in with only a couple of hours’ notice, came right over, asked smart, caring questions, and immediately put me at ease. My two rabbits, Bunbun and Baby, have very unique care needs, and I’m normally pretty nervous leaving them. Justine was attentive, communicative, and so thorough. She kept me updated every step of the way, check-ins, updates, and tons of photos every day. She even brought my garbage can back in from the street, which was so thoughtful. What impressed me most is that Bunbun and Baby seemed to warm up to her faster than they usually would with someone new, which says everything about her calm, patient energy. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and for the first time, I was able to just enjoy my vacation without worry. I’m so genuinely grateful Justine was there. She turned what could have been a disaster into such a positive experience. Reliable, compassionate, and above and beyond. Thank you, Justine!”

“I highly recommend Jasmine for drop-in visits! She watched my three indoor cats and was incredibly punctual and reliable. I have specific routines for my cats, and Jasmine followed every instruction to the letter. Her communication was transparent and clear, providing great updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”


About: I absolutely love dogs and animals of all kinds. While I haven’t formally pet-sat before, I have years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, Luna. I walked her daily, fed her, bathed her, brushed her, played with her, and made sure she always felt loved and cared for those moments were truly the highlight of my day. Through caring for Luna, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are for a dog’s happiness and well being. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m excited to give other dogs the same love, care, and attention that I gave Luna. I am currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time to get some walks in! I’m up for any time of day to walk your pup it all just depends on my work schedule :) I currently only offer dog walking services. I focus on providing safe, attentive walks by using secure leashes, following your instructions, staying aware of my surroundings, and making sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I'm Misty- Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of 4! I know our pets aren't "just pets", they're family. I also understand how much trust it takes to hand someone else the leash or give them access to your home and ask them to care for someone you love. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. I'm responsible, reliable and detail oriented. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs through all stages of life. Puppy to senior and everything in between. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, goofy dogs and even stubborn dogs (I have 2 English Bulldogs and a French Bulldog, enough said!). For walks, I'll make sure your pup gets exercise, attention and plenty of sniffing time. For drop in visits, I'm happy to handle potty breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, cuddles and whatever routine helps your pet feel safe and happy while you're away. I am also happy to care for cats and other household pets during drop-ins. You can expect lots of communication, photos and updates from me. I'll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, double check doors and gates, and treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I am excited to join rover, as pets and exercise are two of my favorite things! Free time spent with animals sounded like a pretty great side job to me! If you're looking for someone reliable who will genuinely look forward to seeing your pet, I'd love to meet you and more importantly, your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I have a consistent Monday-Friday work schedule from 7:30-4pm, which leaves me available for early morning visits and walks before work, as well as evenings after 4pm. I am also available all day Saturday and Sunday, every other weekend, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play time and extra attention while pet parents are away. Because my schedule is predictable, I'm able to plan ahead and make sure every pet gets the time, attention and reliable care they deserve. I provide care in my clients homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration, and of course plenty of love and attention! Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes and harnesses are secure. I am respectful of both your pet's boundaries and your home. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so whether they're ready to be best friends immediately or need a little time and space to warm up, I'm happy to follow their lead. I'll also send photos and updates during each visit so you can feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy and well cared for while you're away.

“Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on.

About: Hello my name is Shondra and I absolutely love dogs. as a retiree, I'm home most of the time, so your pup will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day-they'll never be left alone for long periods. I've had dogs my entire life and have experience training German Shorthaired Pointers as hunting dogs. Although I no longer hunt, the knowledge, patience, and dedication I gained from training them helps me provide excellent care for every dog I meet. I walk my own dog every day, and if your pup enjoys walks and is able to join us, I'd be happy to include them in our daily adventures. My home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, giving your furry family member a comfortable place to relax and feel at home. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so i'll send you daily photos and updates so you can see all the fun your pup is having and peace of mind. If you have a puppy, I can also help with crate training and potty training by following a consistent routine and using positive reinforcement, but it has to be with a crate for cleanliness. My promise is simple: I'll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home. I have saved my dog Kiddy (who has now passed away at 19yrs old) from near death when she was 16yrs old. She had an infected tooth which got into her blood and caused her to almost die. the doctor gave her antibiotics but she wasn't eating or drinking for days. I put in a blender chicken and pedialyte, I then poured it into a feeding syringe and carefully put it in her mouth, I did this for 2 days and she came back to life. She got her tooth pulled as soon as she was better. I wanted to tell my story so you know that I will do whatever it takes to care for your pup. Our fur babies are family❤️❤️🙏 I am retired and home to take care of your pup. I do have one little dog and 2 cats. My pup is on an eating schedule and walking schedule so if your pup is on any schedule I will accommodate. My dogs and cats are cherished members of the family, and I will treat your animals as my extended family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your pet feels happy and secure while your pet feels happy and secure will you're away. I have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and live close to a park, where your pup can enjoy daily walks and exercise. I also have a swimming pool that is not fenced; however, your pets safety is my highest priority, and I closely supervise all outdoor time to ensure they stay safe. if your pet requires medication, I am experienced and comfortable administering it according to your instructions. I will also follow your preferred feeding schedule and routine to help your pet feel at home. I specialize in caring for small to medium-size dogs. if your pup enjoys relaxing on the couch, they're welcome to cuddle up with me. I can provide a crate if needed, or you're welcome to bring your own if that's what your pup is accustomed to sleeping in. For the comfort and cleanliness of my home, I do require that all pets be potty trained or crated while learning to be potty trained. I also understand that every pet has unique needs. For example, I currently care for a friends dog who uses a dog litter box, so im happy to accommodate that setup if needed. As a special treat, I make homemade boil chicken treats that many dogs love, of course, I will always follow any dietary restrictions or special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I will care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I want every dog or cat in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Gabriela was very attentive to my dogs. Made me feel much better that they were still getting attention each day and they were not losing out on anything. I will definitely be using her in the future for trips and she was very responsive and followed all directions as requested. She was a pleasure to meet before the trip and have the dogs meet her and she was happy to get down on their level and help them to get to know her and they got more and more comfortable as the days progressed. Thank you so much Gabriela we appreciate you so very much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lathrop is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $35 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 1,445 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lathrop. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
