“Addison is amazing!! She has dog sat my 4 giant fur babies a couple of times. They are a handful but she is very good with them. You can tell she has a very calming presence and my dogs really like her. She is very responsible and very responsive. Would highly reccomend her to take care of your dogs or cats!”
“Stephanie took care of our 10 week old pup, Bella, for a weekend. Bella seemed to bond well with Stephanie. Stephanie sent periodic pictures of Bella to us. We could see that Bella was happy and well cared for during our absence.”
“Taylor is a great sitter and our baby dog loved her. She was on time, responsive, and responsible. She's very calm and was so good with our very active boy. She also kept us updated and sent great photos - particularly nice for nervous parents.... Highly recommend her and would give more stars if I could!”
About: My love for animals started at a young age; always the one to bring home the stray dog. From the wild to the domestic, I am a true animal advocate. I recognize that dogs have evolved into unique and intelligent beings, deserving of the same respect as any member of the household. I strive to assure you feel at ease knowing that your beloved pet is well taken care of in a safe and secure environment. Daily pics sent via email or text are provided. A plan for your pooch's stay at my Guest House will be tailored to your dog's individual personality, behavioral patterns, and owner preferences. If your pet needs 24/7 supervision, please inquire about availability before booking your reservation. A convenient location, we have a large shaded and fenced back yard for little dogs to explore and romp. Medium-sized pooches can be accompanied on walks around the pet-friendly neighborhood. A comfy bed awaits your pup for a sound night's sleep. Recently retired, so I can devote even more time to your fury family. Frequent home check-ins or dog walks are provided in the immediate Lodi area. All pets have their own preference. When boarding at Sleepy Pooch, pets are well supervised. Frequent outdoor activity is offered in a large fenced back yard. Larger dogs can be walked daily, if desired. Your loved one can sleep in the bedroom, alone in a kennel, or with the host’s pooch if he/she prefers. For pets who prefer to stay home, your host assures security of your property when entering and exiting. A mask will be worn at all times while inside your home. I assess the situation to identify any housekeeping issues that need to be addressed to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Any mail or packages are brought inside. Cat boxes will be thoroughly cleaned at all times. Rest assured that I will take responsibility for your pet as if he/she is one of my own family members. DOG WALKING NOTE. Please have doggy leashed and ready to pick up for their walk. If your request involves entering the home or property to retrieve and prep the dog for a walk, select “Drop-in Visit” and add a note to request a walk during the visit. —Proof of current unexpired rabies vaccination is required for all pets—
About: I have had pets since I was 11 years old, in fact, I was a dog and cat rescuer for many years. A true pet lover. Set your mind at ease by giving me a call so that you can leave with peace of mind that your pet will be taken care of with experience and knowledge. I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family for years. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet and companion. You can rest assured that your pet will be in safe hands so that you can enjoy your time off. I will feed, care and walk your pet(s) early in the morning and will return by noontime. I can also stay all weekend. I am very dependable and reliable. I currently work MWF from 9-12 PM. However, since this is only 3 hours, I am able to go back to my job as your pet sitter for the rest of the day. I lost my dog Lilli in 2021 and will get a much needed companion soon. Just a few years ago I rescued dogs and cats at the veterinary hospital that I worked with. I was the personal assistant/accountant for the hospital for over 20 years. I have learned about what types of medicine would be used for simple medical issues, what types of food for each type of nutritional need, condition and breed. I will take a pet first aid class to refresh my skills. I also have a sixth sense with animals if something is wrong or unusual. I will then contact you to make sure that you are aware as well. Good communication between the pet sitter and owner is very important. I will make sure there is fresh water always and a clean bowl. Exercise is important and play time to keep pets strong and healthy and preventing boredom. I also will keep up on medication with your instructions.
About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be a great anchor for an early morning walk or early afternoon walk. I am available Mon-Thurs 5am-7:30am and 3:30pm to 8:30pm. Friday, Saturday and Sundays I am available all day for those walks and check ins that are needed when errands outs are the priority. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean up thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.
“Daniella is wonderfully attentive to our 4-month-old puppy’s needs. Ash is still in the midst of potty training, and Daniella patiently observes Ash’s cues to ensure he makes his potty breaks on time. She doesn’t hesitate to spend time with him in his indoor playpen, actively engaging him in play while ensuring his safety, especially now that he can reach the top panel at chest height. Daniella also keeps our daily journal up to date with Ash’s meals and potty schedule, which helps us stay on track with his routine. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”
About: I used to work at doggie daycare/boarding facility. I have trained my own family dog 14 tricks. Trained, walked and dog sat my neighbors dogs. As well as my personal dogs. Multiple occasions. I am currently working full time and trying to help some furry friends on my days off. Hopeful to expands my hours of availability overtime. I know to listen to a dogs body language for what they do/dont like. Knowing when to remove the pet from a risky situation/bad environment. I would also follow all directions given to me regarding a clients pet. Helping in any way that I can.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Elementary. Friends, Neighbors & Family have relied on me for any & all of their pet needs. From walking, house/pet sitting at their home or mine, grooming to running them to vet appointments, I have done it all!! I love all animals & I treat them like family :) I spend my days with our Whippet Mix, Bambi, who is 7 years old. She gets along with all dogs, any age. We have taken her with us everywhere we go since she was a pup. We go on daily adventures, whether we go to the park, on a little drive or just on a walk, we like to explore. We're available for pet services & boarding pretty much any day of the week, not much notice is necessary 😊 We have a 4 bedroom home, and it's just my husband & I, so there's plenty of room! We don't mind animals on our couches, we also have a couple of dog beds with blankies & pillows. We have a toy bin Bambi has free range of, but we can always put it away so there aren't any toy arguments if needed.
About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
“Natalia did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat and our house. She was highly communicative, very flexible as our plans shifted, and sent tons of adorable photos and videos that were so reassuring to us as we traveled. She left our house in better shape than we did, and was generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”
“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”
“Destiny is amazing!!! First and foremost, she is great with my two doggies and my kitty. They took to her right away and that made me feel very comfortable. She is very punctual and follows up with text messages and let's me know when she will arrive. Super duper responsible!!! My dogs really like her alot and she is very caring and nurturing towards them. If you are looking for someone that you can depend on and know your fur babies will be taken care of, SHE IS YOUR PERSON!!!!”
“Gabrielle provided excellent care to our home and our fur babies. We appreciate her communication and pics while we were away for the 8 days. Definitely will use her again.”
About: I love animals and I love being of service to dog owners who want peace of mind when leaving their pup for the day week or month! I am a full time dog trainer, the only thing I am currently doing is training and caring for dogs full time all day every day. I have a fenced backyard, and I will be watching your pup every moment of the day to ensure their safety. As safety is my number one priority.
“Domynique, is fantastic she is always responsive and always keeps up with updates. This is the second time she has watched Nanea (2yo pitty mix) I swear I have not seen Nanea so happy with another person as she is with Domynique. I would 100% recommend using Domynique for your pups.”
About: I’m an experienced dog mom of 8 years now. I’m always somebody that people call when they need somebody to watch their dogs/cats because everyone knows how much I love animals. I prefer spending my time with animals compared to humans sometimes lol. I’m currently working part-time, but as of the next few weeks, I will be working from home, so I’ll be available anytime needed! I’m a very gentle, loving person. I will watch your fur babies and care for them as I do my own! I wouldn’t do anything that you wouldn’t do :)
About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lodi
Diane was godsend during my wedding weekend. She watched both of my pups, Teddy and Koko, while things were chaotic with an eventful 3-day fully booked she kept my mind at peace because I knew they were in amazing hands. She shared photos with me and checked in to ensure they were both doing amazing. She kept things very tidy around my place - very respectful and professional. I would welcome her to watch them again if she allows :) I hope she enjoyed her time watching the pups, too!
Shannon did a great job taking care of both our boys. She adapted well to the schedule including food, treats and medicines. She regularly kept us updated with pictures. After an initial adjustment the first couple of days the boys got very comfortable with her and we came back to very content and happy faces.
Jackie was amazing! She stayed with our pup while we were overseas on vacation and it was easy to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. She was very kind, caring, and communicative and we could tell that he was enjoying spending time with her. Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lodi is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $85 per night. 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.

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 Lodi 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 Lodi 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 Lodi 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.
