“We were so blessed to have Christina sit for the day and meet our 2 babies. She did an amazing job. We love that she called them 'the boys ' whenever she text us during the day, she was exactly what we were looking for we prayed for someone we could trust since I was in quarantine for over 1 year and this was a special day to get away and God sent a very great person who was responsible and respectful of what we asked for.”

“Wow! If I had to describe a perfect pup sitter it is Kaitlyn. She was amazing! Great updates, house was perfect, dogs were given a bath. She definitely is above and beyond!”

“Shauna was great! We never worried for a moment knowing she was taking care of our sweet girl. She communicated with us regularly with check-ins and pictures. We will definitely call her next time we need a dog and house sitter.”

About: I have been trusted since childhood to watch over my neighbors' pets and have experience with two pit bulls and countless cats. I don't mind giving medicine, as my senior cat took some for years. I work full-time during the week, but am free all weekend to give your furry friend some love. I am generally active, so walks in the morning and evening are not an issue and I can easily integrate them into my daily routine. I can easily crate pets, love to take daily walks, and play for about an hour or two with my own pets, so I do not mind addressing the needs of your pet based on their energy level.
About: I have had to help and support my three dogs at my old home. Also, I have had to help support my roommate's new dog. Some of the things that I have done included picking up poop, walking the dog, and feeding them to help my roomate or family have a break while they were at work. I am currently in need of a job to pay rent during the summer. My summer hours range from morning to mid-afternoon Monday through Sunday. When I have my full-time job in August, I am available for the weekends or part-time. Walking/House Sitting (your home): I will take your pet on a desired walk rate. I will play/socialize with your pet. I will take them on potty breaks as needed. I will monitor and support your dog. I can help clean their poop or pee when needed.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and sizes my whole life and cared for most small and medium sized dogs for many years. I have a medium sized dog who loves being around other animals, but mostly likes dinner and naps! I’m currently working Monday through Friday 7-4 so weekend care is best for me. I’m available for evening check ins or walks. Because I’m a teacher, I’m available most holidays and breaks. I have a large fenced and walled in yard. There is a pool and that is gated off, too. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I have space to feed dogs in different areas so I can be sure everyone gets there full meal.
“Kimberly was wonderful! So reliable and attentive the entire time. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again! -Beth and Knox”

“Asianna was great! She was prompt, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. He's shy but she did a wonderful job of getting to know him. I will definitely be asking Asianna back in the future!”


About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.
“Jessica is fantastic. I had some concerns leaving Lucy after a not so positive previous experience of boarding her in someone else’s home. So I opted to do an ‘in-my-home’ service this time and it was exactly what she needed. Jessica was the perfect fit who understood my concerns and made sure this experience was very positive. Jessica made Lucy feel comfortable, loved and safe! She took her on walks, spent quality time with her and put up with Lucy’s quirkiness. She sent photos and updates and tolerated me being an overprotective mom. I already have plans to use Jessica’s services again and highly recommend her to all!! Seriously, the best!”

“Mary Elizabeth was a fantastic pet sitter. This was our first time using a sitter because we are new dog owners, so we were worried about all kinds of things. From the moment of the meet and greet, our dog was at ease. She came over for the meet and greet and got all the instructions. She sent plenty of pictures, updating us when she arrived and when she left. She accommodated a minor schedule adjustment with ease. She was exactly the support we needed - our Velcro dog is used to me being at home all day and my roommate works 12 hour days. Mary Elizabeth kept our dog company for several hours each day and it put us at great ease during my vacation. She tidied up the coming areas of the house and left a beautiful flower as a finishing touch. We look forward to using her services again and again.”

“Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M”

“Errol helped us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute Dog sitter for our two pups. He brought a calm energy that the dogs loved, and I felt completely comfortable, leaving them in his care. The house was in the same condition that we left it, which has not always been the case with previous sitters. He sent pictures of the dogs throughout the day which I loved and checked in periodically to let us know how things were going. I would absolutely use his services again, great sitter.”

About: I can care for any animal you give me, from pets to farm animals and the more exotic, there is nothing I don't know. I am a student in the teaching zoo in Moorpark college, where I learn hands-on care experience on exotic animals and training them I have worked with ranchers before on farm animal work like a daily horse, cattle, sheep, and chicken care. I have also been in a veterinary class for two years. Currently I am a student in the teaching zoo in Moorpark college where I come in everyday to care for a selection number of exotic species such as hawks, serval, tigers, alligator, and monkeys. I will watch over the pets and play with them to make sure that they are entertained. And i will also make sure on special request that the owner leaves like medication, potty breaks, etc.
“My cats were well fed and very happy when I got home! They warmed up to Lola right away, which says a lot, since they can be a little shy with new people. Lola clearly took wonderful care of them and made them feel comfortable and loved. When I got back, the cats were happily hanging out with her like she was part of the family. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Lola for anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”


About: I’ve never met a pet I didn’t want to be friends with. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether they’re an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a little bit of a menace. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and you’ll probably get more photos of your pet than you asked for because I have zero self control when it comes to fur babies. I'm currently working remote and my availability has opened wide up. I love to stay active and doing things so why not do something i love (hang with cute animals) while i have the free time! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained until you get home. I’m great at following routines, giving lots of attention, and making friends with pets on their terms (even the ones who like to play hard to get). Whether that’s a walk, a game, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the care they deserve.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From raising my own dogs—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—to dog sitting for friends and family, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and the love that comes with it. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from leash and potty training to providing comfort and care when a pup wasn’t feeling their best. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where dogs can relax and just be themselves. Animals seem to sense my energy and often gravitate toward me, and I truly believe they know when someone understands them. I’m most centered when I’m around dogs, and I love giving back the same joy and unconditional love they bring into the world. These days, I’m lucky to share my time with a 6-year-old Goldendoodle, a 10-year-old Maltese, two playful goats, and a flock of chickens—each one reminding me how rewarding it is to care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or an overnight stay, your pet will be treated like my own. I work for myself, from home, and can generally work around your pet's schedule with the exception of Tuesdays from 11:30am-1:30 pm and Wednesdays from 11:30am - 12:30 pm. I'm able to help with potty training your pup, I have experience doing this with my own and know that consistency is key. Just let me know what method you're using!
About: Hi, I’m Johanna! I’m a dedicated dog lover with over 10 years of experience personally caring for and training dogs. From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I’ve personally trained my two rescue dogs, helping them grow into well-adjusted, social, and happy companions. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide your pup(s) with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks (we have a doggy door for 24/7 access), playtime, cuddles, or a structured routine, I can easily adjust to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Our spacious home has a fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play and relax. We also have access to parks nearby, making it easy to give your pup extra outdoor fun, exercise and socialization (if you feel comfortable with that)! I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and will ensure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Many of the dogs I’ve watched have become like family, and I’m grateful to share in the love and joy they bring. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pet, and I can't wait to meet them! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Since I work from home full-time, your pet will always have supervision and companionship throughout the day. They’ll have constant access to fresh water, our secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks, and a feeding and exercise schedule that matches their routine. Whether it’s cuddle time, walks, or structured activities, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! In my home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized care for every pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door for 24/7 access to the yard for play, exercise or just to sunbathe. Additionally, both our main doors and screen doors add an extra layer of protection, minimizing any chance of pups slipping out. I tailor each pet’s care to their unique needs, following their usual feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they feel at home. Whether it’s supervised playtime, cozy nap spots, or plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay! I tailor each pet’s care to their unique needs, following their usual feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they feel at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Madera Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 495 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madera Acres. 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 Madera Acres 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 Madera Acres 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 Madera Acres 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Madera Acres. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
