About: I have worked at a Veterinary Clinic in boarding and daycare for 4 years and have been dog sitting for about 2 years. I recently became a Veterinary Assistant about 5 months ago, and I am currently attending clesses to become a Veterinary Technician. I know how to care for animals including tasks like feedings, walks, medications, and more. I hope to become a Veterinarian myself one day! I love being around animals especially dogs, and I would love to help care for your pet! I currently am working part time at the Lodi Vet Clinic so I would very easily be able to check in on your pets around my schedule I will take great care of your pets in the comfort of your own home, and I am very open to specific requests such as extra long walks etc.
“Lizzie is AMAZING! She took fantastic care of Baker and understood all of his quirks. She loved on him like he was her own pup. We highly recommend her and will rebook. :)”

“Emma was extremely helpful and took great care of the house and our kitten. The pictures she sent were greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable with our home in her care.”

“Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, all with very different personalities and needs. I’ve put a lot of time into training and creating a successful multidog household, which has given me experience with everything from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, resource guarding and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, using the training methods and equipment your dog is accustomed to, and adjusting my approach based on each individual dog. I understand that not every dog is a social butterfly, and I’m happy to give dogs the space, patience and structure they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your dog. I’ll care for yours with the same attention and respect I expect for my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care and medication instructions. I am not only certified in human CPR but also Red Cross Dog/Cat/Pet CPR and first aide certified. I’m also used to communicating clearly, so you can expect plenty of updates while your dog is in my care I’m an RN with a rotating schedule, which gives me several days off during the week and plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and plenty of attention! I am home most of the time and my husband works from home so someone will usually be here. With the occasional instances of going out a few hours at a time. We do keep our dogs crated while we are gone and have cameras on the kennel/dog room to keep an eye on them. I know every dog has their own routine, personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your established routine and any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates or training. I have experience with multidog households, reactive dogs and special-needs dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away
About: Hello! I’m Shanon. I am a new empty-nester and looking to fill my newfound free time taking care of animals and your fur babies! I am open to doing walks, check ins, feedings, or whatever your pet(s) may need! I am available early mornings, afternoons, and nights for check ins, feedings, snuggles, and walks. I am available most weekends as well. Thank you for your consideration and let me know if I can help! I am an empty-nester looking to fill my time with some fur-friends. I have a LOT more free time on my hands these days! :) I have been a pet owner my whole life, from hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, cats, to dogs. I am a pet lover and look forward to caring for yours too. I know what it is like to leave your fur-babies home while you are away or needing that last minute check-in when plans pop up, I got you!
“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”

About: I am currently a full-time Team Coordinator that works remotely out of my home, or any place with wifi! Working remotely has provided me with a lot of spare time, not having to commute to and from work, so I am looking to fill some of that time caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and two cats at home. I have experience with all types of dogs including small dogs, like my dad's Peekapoo, and large dogs, like my brother's Great Dane. I've taken care of puppies as well as senior dogs with extra care needed included insulin injections and eye drops. I am available for entire weekends, individual weekend days, full weeks and individual week days. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and please don't hesitate to ask me any questions! If weekdays are needed, I have the flexibility to work from your home which gives me the opportunity to be there all day long if needed. Only working from 7:30am to 4:00pm with no commute gives me plenty of extra hours for pet/house care. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect as if they were my own. I would ask for any special requirements that pertain to housesitting and pet sitting ahead of time so I can follow them when I am there. I always make sure to lock doors and stay vigilant, especially at other peoples’ homes. I can be available to you by phone any time of the day or night when I am watching your pet/house and am always willing to help out with anything that may come up!
“Ashley was wonderful with my pup. She checked in on her multiple times per day, sent me updates and photos from each encounter. Would definitely use her again and again. Its the second time i left my dog home alone for multiple days under Ashley’s care.”

“Monica stayed with our dog overnight in our home and did a fantastic job caring for our pup. She was very communicative and followed all of our precise care instructions. She showed genuine interest in our dog and we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We would be absolutely delighted to have Monica in our home again to play and care for our dog. She is reliable, responsible and kind.”


About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of every kind my entire life basically. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me since I was a little girl to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently dog sit full time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding all seven days of the week at anytime of need! I have a spacious yard and two friendly female dogs(both spayed) to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Ramon is a gem! He is so good with our furry treasures, and they love him, too. It gives us peace of mind when we’re away to know they are in good hands. We always come home to a clean house as well, an added bonus!”

About: I am a down to earth dog lover! I have two silly labs at home and they are the highlight to my family. We frequently visit the dog parks and walk trails. I have experience with dogs young and old, sickly, High energy to lazy. While your dog is in my care we will have lots of fun! I have a 4 year old son who absolutely loves dogs and my wife who would adopt every dog if she could! We are a dog family through and through! We will take tons of neighborhood walks, and even visit your favorite dog park! My future goal is to open a doggie daycare center for dogs of all size and age to have a day of play while the owners are away!
About: I love any and all animals. I have consistently been around animals since the day I was born. I have grown up with dogs and have 20+ years of experience caring and being responsible for them. I now have my own dog, a four year old corgi named Millie. I recently switched to a remote position, so I am available to care for your pet at home any day of the week with any kind of schedule. When I am not at work, I am home enjoying the day with my dog, Millie. Depending on the animal, Millie likes to play or will give them the space that they need. We go on lots of walks, play fetch, and work on puppy puzzles. I have a dog run in my building in case the weather doesn’t allow a long, outdoor potty break. There is a park that I frequently visit with my dog a couple of blocks away. Because I am a nurse, I can care for any of your pets medical needs and I will always keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe.
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and truly treat every pet as if they're my own. I grew up around horses and farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for larger animals, I have years of experience with cats, dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone who will love them like you do! My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax & enjoy your holiday, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving lots of love and attention!! I currently work part-time and bartend a few evenings each week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate many pet care needs. I'm available for morning and afternoon walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, with open availability on most weekends. On days I bartend, I'm happy to work around my shift to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I always communicate my availability in advance and make it a priority to give every pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. You'll also receive regular photo updates and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away!! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to learn their needs and follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing training, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I'll care for them just as you would. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and any safety concerns before and after each visit. Having over four years of professional pet & house sitting experience, along with growing up around farm animals, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and quick responses while you're away. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease from the moment we meet!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lodi is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $49 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.
As of October 2026, there are 776 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lodi. 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 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.
