About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have always been interested in becoming a veterinarian. I currently care for my three dogs, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily exercise, and basic training. I’ve taught two of my dogs commands like sit and spin, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I am available on weekends and during evenings, and I have flexible availability until I begin my new job. I am reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I offer services such as dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. During my visits, I make sure pets are well cared for by providing fresh food and water, cleaning bowls, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable and safe. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they are always supervised and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention as my own fur babies.
“Alexis did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated regularly on how Meelo was doing. We felt extremely comfortable leaving Meelo with Alexis and we plan on working with her again in the future!”

“Kaitlyn is awesome. We are so happy to have found such a great pet sitter to look after our pup and cat when we travel. Kaitlyn is a really great communicator and does such a great job. She is flexible and has helped us out on a number of occasions when we really needed a pet sitter for a spontaneous trip. We are just so appreciative. Kaitlyn is organized and very clean. We never have to worry when we are gone. Thank you so much!”

“Christina was great with our puppy. She took him for walks, played with him and sent lots of pictures and videos. The house was clean and I felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her and her staying in our home.”

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.
“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”

“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”


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.
About: I love pets and animals and have lots of experience! I pet sit for all my friends and coworkers as they say I have a special connection with their pets. Animals love me and I love them! Happy to watch young or senior pets, and have experience with exotic pets like reptiles and birds As a teacher, I have all federal holidays off as well as weekends. I’m in town otherwise, so I can dependably check in on animals over weekdays as well. I will always make sure to take good care of your pets in your home, and take care of your home as well! Homes are a special and sacred place and I will always respect your area. It is great to watch them in their own home as this is less stress for your pets!
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 3–4 years of experience working in animal shelters and dog daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, administering basic medications, and handling high-energy or reactive dogs. I’m confident reading dog body language and prioritizing safety in every situation. I also have experience with dog sitting and drop-in visits, making sure pets stay comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I can always accommodate overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks—flexible to fit your dog’s routine. I provide safe, loving care, follow each dog’s routine, give plenty of attention, walks, and play, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
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 have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.
About: I have never met a dog that doesn't love me. I enjoy caring for dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and petting them. What separates me from other dog walkers is that I will treat your dog like it's my own, always keeping their best interest in mind. I have been a pet owner my entire life and am currently a stay at home dog mom. Caring for my dog has inspired me to help out my community and care for others pets when needed. I have walked other dogs in my neighborhood, from small to large, and I would love to walk your dog too. I can assure that if you pick me to care for your pet he or she will be provided the best quality care!
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been helping take care of pets for years, whether that’s for family, friends, or neighbors. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I also have a 5-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and always pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in school, but I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of that and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting depending on the day, and I’m open most evenings and weekends. I’m good about communicating and planning ahead so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions you leave closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I keep a clean, calm environment and always pay attention to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I have a friendly 5-year-old dog who is well-socialized, but I can also keep pets separate if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and not stressed while you’re away.
“Jessica did a very good job and taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for the weekend. She communicated with us and sent us pictures to let us see our dogs were happy. We will use her again for our next trip away!”

“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!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Madera Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 509 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.

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.
