“Donna was amazing with all my little doggies. She really went the extra mile to ensure my doggies were comfortable and well taken care of. She was very sweet to my boys and did everything just as I would do so that made me feel so content leaving them with her. She sent me photos and text updates my entire trip and I very much loved seeing them everyday. She’s amazing and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Donna for all that you did I really appreciate you.”
About: ~Cat Boarding Available~ Hi there! If you’re looking for an experienced and active sitter who will shower your pets with love while keeping them safe and happy, I would love to meet you! I’ve spent plenty of time around all types of dogs, including big, strong breeds, so I am very comfortable managing canine energy and practicing good boundaries. To make sure our outdoor adventures are as safe as they are fun, I focus my walks on small and medium dogs, or larger pups who are already pretty calm and collected on the leash. I happily offer dedicated home care with a touch of gentleness. I follow your pet’s normal routines and any pet care instructions you give. I enjoy providing comfort and a peaceful environment for all pets. I am also a cat mom of 4 and absolutely love all types of cats, so I am always happy to help with kitty drop-ins, feedings, and playtime too. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently have a flexible schedule. Whether your pup or kitten needs a last-minute check-in, a mid-day walk or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. When I am in your home, safety and respect for your space are my priorities. I treat your home with care, ensuring doors are securely locked, gates are latched, and your home is left exactly as I found it. I can follow strict instructions to ensure that your pet’s needs are met. I also love sending many photos on updates with every visit, so you have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“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!”

I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays.

About: 🐾 TYLER'S PET BOARDING - ABOUT MY CARE 🐶🐱🐴 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. Opening my home to care for them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I believe pet care should be built on trust, comfort, consistency and clear communication. I intentionally accept a limited number of bookings so each pet receives personalized attention, consistent care, and a calm experience. Meet & Greets are required for first time stays to make sure we’re a great fit. Your pet will be treated like family, with regular updates, photos, feeding routines, and plenty of attention while you’re away. 🏡 HOME SETUP Your dog will enjoy a calm, structured home environment with supervised care, regular potty breaks, photo updates, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have three friendly pugs at home and experience caring for small, medium and select large dogs. 🛡️ SAFETY & STRUCTURE I introduce dogs slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and separate dogs when needed. Feeding is done separately to help prevent food guarding, upset stomachs, or accidental sharing. 🐶⭐️ BEST FIT For boarding in my home, I'm best suited for small to medium dogs and select larger dogs only when the fit is right. For larger dogs I am also happy to provide house sitting, drop-ins, or care in the owner's home. 🐴 HORSE & PONY CARE I also provide horse and pony care through house sitting and care at the owner’s property. Horse and pony boarding is not offered at my home. 💤🌙 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS My home is kept comfortable year round so every pet can relax and sleep comfortably. Dogs can sleep in their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area based on their routine and habits. 📸 Communication & Updates I send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Ask me about professional photo magnets of your dog, a nice keepsake from their stay. 🐶🤝Meet & Greets Held at my home in Lathrop by appointment, preferably mornings or late evenings. 🌅🚗🌙Drop-Off & Pickup My preferred drop-off and pickup windows are 8:30AM-10:00 AM or 8:00PM -10:00 PM. I’m happy to coordinate within those windows whenever possible so each pet has a smooth, calm transition. Flexible, open schedule, your pet gets my full attention and care, morning to night. I work from home so fully committed to making your pets stay as amazing as possible! Your dogs and animals will be safe, loved, and treated like family in a clean, pet friendly home. I follow your pet’s routine closely and provide constant supervision and affection.
“After our previous house/pet sitter moved away, we were nervous to have a new person caring for our 3 dogs and 1 cat. One of our dogs can be quite vocal and barks a lot at strangers, but Maria did a great job reassuring us that she was excited to care for our pets and win our bark-y dog over. Maria stayed overnight in our home with the animals and was great about communicating with us about how our dogs and cat were doing. She was also able to get our bark-y dog to be comfortable and calm quickly after we left which was a huge relief to us! We received several pictures throughout our trip, our animals were safe and taken care of, and the house was just as we left it. Maria is very friendly, kind, and responsible. I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”
“We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats and even reptiles my whole life. I have volunteered with Delta Humane Society, Manteca Kitten Rescue and also serviced a cat adoption room inside Petco for months. I am dedicated to making sure your furry friend gets the best care! I currently work anywhere from 10am to 7pm Sunday through Thursday. Morning and late evening check ins should work best for me, but I can be flexible when needed. I prefer to come to your home and take care of your pet in the environment it knows best and feels the most comfortable in.
“Ariel gave amazing care to our elderly dog who needs medications and can get quite lonely. She went above and beyond to give her cuddles and love so that she didn’t feel alone while we were gone. We will definitely be using Ariel again 💗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manteca
Thank you !!Donna, she was the perfect match for our senior dog . And our Frenchie , if I could give Donna, 100 Stars I would. She was very knowledgeable on what we needed for our two dogs while we were away. Donna sent us pictures daily while we were away for the very first time without our pets. Once I met Donna,I had no worries or concerns . Donna is one of a kind thank you once again for taking care of our fur babies..... Bullet and Thanos miss you Donna!!!😄
Ariel was a great sitter! She stayed with our dogs for two nights. My dogs were comfortable with her right away. we did give her quite a few instruction on our dogs as they can be spoiled and picky. she was able to follow all of our instructions and asked questions as needed to make sure she was doing the right thing which me and my husband appreciated . I would recommend Ariel and rebook in the future .
Melissa was fantastic. She confirmed with us the day of, arrived right on time, and stepped in last-minute on Christmas, which we appreciated more than she knows. She listened closely to the care instructions for Toledo and was incredibly considerate of his separation anxiety. When she needed to step out for a quick errand, she let us know so we never had to worry. She brought everything she needed, kept the house clean, and left everything in great shape. Most importantly, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring with Toledo. We’re grateful for her flexibility and the peace of mind she gave us. Highly recommend!

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 Manteca 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 Manteca 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Manteca 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
