When caring for pets in their home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and any household rules. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure pets have fresh water and a clean space.

Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently care for my own 14-year-old dog, so I’m familiar with senior pet needs, including slower walks, extra patience during mealtimes, mobility assistance, and maintaining a comfortable routine. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, exercising, and providing lots of attention and affection. I regularly take my Doberman, Claddagh on runs and help care for my sister’s dog, so I’m confident handling both large and energetic breeds. I’ve also cared for a rescued litter of kittens and have experience with cats of different personalities and temperaments. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower-paced routine, I’ll provide dependable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently a full-time student at Lincoln Tech, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am generally available between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM on weekdays, have open availability on Fridays from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and am available all day on most weekends. Outside of school, I babysit and care for family pets, so I’m used to balancing responsibilities and maintaining consistent routines. I always make time to provide attentive, dependable care and will communicate clearly about my availability when booking. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, exercise, feeding schedules, or other special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing consistent care. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am available for morning and evening walks, feeding visits, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will ensure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. In my own home, I care for my Belgian Malinois, who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience with energetic dogs. I make sure she gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities in our backyard. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine closely, provide a safe and loving environment, and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I understand that every pet is unique and will tailor my care to their individual needs.

We had the pleasure of having Melissa care for our miniature poodle, Sabana, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Melissa listened to all of our personal requests and followed through on them perfectly—from playtime to potty breaks and everything in between. It was clear that she treated our puppy as if she were her own, and we truly appreciated her going above and beyond to ensure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and happy during her drop-ins. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate to request her—you’ll be glad you did!

Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.

About: I have taken care of dogs since childhood (had 6 Golden Retrievers since 2002, now have a Bichon Frise). Your pet will feel at home playing with us and our friendly baby. We’re a loving, pet-friendly home where your furry family member will be treated like our own. I work as a part-time behavioral therapist, and my husband works from home two days a week, so there’s always someone around to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and affection. Caring for dogs truly comes naturally to us. Our new home offers a spacious fenced backyard for playtime, along with nearby dog parks and a beautiful nature walking path—perfect for fresh air, exercise, and fun. Your dog will enjoy a safe, happy environment and feel like a part of our family during their stay. Note: Daycare hours are typically between 7 AM and 7 PM (or less). If you need care beyond these hours, please book a boarding request instead. Thank you! Your fur baby will be treated like family in our home! From cozy naps and meals to fun walks and playtime with our sweet pup Archie, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and as close to home as possible while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay comforting, fun, and full of care until their favorite humans return!

We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention.

Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!

Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -

Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lodi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lodi on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 26,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lodi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lodi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lodi with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
