“Ashley did a great job! Our pets were well cared for and happy to see us when we got home. House was spotless. We’re looking forward to her next visit with our furries!”
“Lauren was so awesome and friendly, and my dog loved her visits! She gave us lots of updates while she and Rouge played and walked. She was also super flexible about what I needed and times. I will 100% use and recommend her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals, specifically dogs and cats, since I was around 12 years old. My parish does not have an animal shelter or any service to help with strays so I began to take them in (I was basically fostering them). As I grew up my love for them never stopped growing. I worked at an animal shelter in college. I gained experience working at a grooming/boarding facility, and I also have had a little bit of experience in a vet’s office as a tech. I currently have 5 dogs of my own ranging in sizes XXL (100lbs)-XS (8lbs). They are like my children to me! My boyfriend and I also have 7 chickens and plan to hatch more soon. We also feed all the strays cats around our house and will never hesitate to help any animal in need. My main focus will be on dog walking and check in visits, as well as overnight stays. I would be happy to provide a bath and brushing, toe nail clipping, and anything else needed! Spending my days with animals seems to best way to do it to me. I can walk dogs any day of the week! My times available for walking are 6:00am-5:00pm. I am available to go check in on them any day as well. My availability for overnight stays is the same, reach out to me any day of the week! While your pet is in my home they will be my main focus and be with me basically 24/7! If they are comfortable with car rides they can come with me on any errands I need to do. I can also come to your home and watch your fur baby! I will follow any schedule you give me for them and try to figure out the best way to cater to their needs. Whether that be laying on the couch watching TV, taking a walk around the neighborhood, playing fetch, playing with the water hose, etc! I can provide medication if needed as well and make sure to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary in their behavior.
“Whitney is THE BEST! We were so nervous leaving our pups for 10 days but Whitney came in to meet them and they got along right away. She is so sweet and so caring and we felt so comfortable leaving them with her. She sent us so many pictures during her stay and we loved getting their updates every evening of our vacation. Will definitely be booking Whitney for our next vacation. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”
About: I own five different breeds of dogs and I have had my oldest since I was 10 years old. And that has taught me how to value animals in a different way Well with my schedule I have it worked around to where I can spend the majority of my day with my dogs to go around their feeding schedules and play time I have a well fenced yard and two well fitted crates if your dogs need it and all of my pets are really friendly. I have many toys and treats
About: I have three cats and three dogs of my own so I am very accustomed to chaos! I've had pets my whole life and treat mine like my own children, and yours will always be treated like my own! I currently am a stay at home wife so I have a lot of availability to help! Weekdays or weekends would be okay. My schedule is extremely flexible! My pets are treated like our children. I would treat yours no differently! My three dogs are on an eating schedule and get regular walks so I have no problem sticking to your schedule for your babies.
“Anika is the BEST! She made all my babies feel comfortable and took excellent care of them. She sent me a lot of pictures too! That really put my mind at ease - seeing how happy they were and knowing that Anika was there for them when I couldn't be. I 100% recommend Anika to anyone who is afraid to go out of town and leave their babies.... she is the best and your babies will love her!”
“ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS!!! Will be using her everytime!!! She kept our dogs at our air bnb for the day so we didn’t have to worry about them needing to go to the bathroom or getting anxious in a new setting. Sally absolutely rocked it with our great dane and pitbull Mix! Out great dane weighs 163lbs and our pitty weighs 55lb so she could definitely handle her own!!!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have cared for pets as well. My household loves dogs so there will be nothing but love during boarding. I am a caretaker currently and have flexible availability to walk and care for your pets. I am able to attentively walk and care for pets. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly small dog to play with your precious pup. Safety and love are the top priority for me!

FAQs for House Sitting - Modeste
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Modeste. 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 Modeste 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 Modeste 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 Modeste 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.
