“My first time using Bethany this weekend and she was awesome! She was prompt and detailed about her drop ins and my cat was very happy with her. Will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend her.”
“Updates, pictures & videos daily. My pups were so happy I was afraid they wouldn’t want me back. It was hard to leave them behind but, Kaitlyn had me very comfortable that my pups were well taken care of and they loved her visits.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, I have experience with puppy’s, kittens, senior pets and I enjoy being with them I work part-time night shifts and attend school to become a Veterinary Technician, so my schedule varies slightly. I keep my availability updated and am happy to accommodate early mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many overnight pet care requests whenever possible. Please reach out if you have specific scheduling needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. As a Veterinary Technician student, I understand the importance of proper handling, close observation, and maintaining a safe environment. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through dependable communication, compassion, and reliable care.
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a little girl. I have two dogs of my own. My oldest, Whiskey, is four years old and my youngest, Milo, is about a year and a half. Whiskey is very much a couch potato and is highly attached to me. Milo is the complete opposite. He has so much energy and doesn’t understand the meaning of relaxation. With Milo, there’s never a dull moment so trust me when I say I have seen it all. I currently work part-time and go to school so pet care works with my availability as my schedule is always changing. I also love animals of all types and so getting to play with puppies and kittens is a dream come true. I don’t currently offer any overnight sittings but I’m hoping once I build a good reputation on this app that I can offer that soon. I have two dogs that are complete opposites of each other so I have learned what works best for both of my animals. My youngest dog needs a lot of walks, attention, and enrichment. I keep plenty of enrichment toys around my house to ensure that he is getting the proper care that he needs. My older dog is a couch potato and it does not take much to keep him happy, as long as he has food, water, and a comfortable space to lay down he’s good to go.
“Daisy was just perfect combination with my 2 fur babies, Hyphy and Boopy. Daisy took great care of the both of them to each of their specific needs, which wasn't much but still managed to do so. She displayed a lot of care and love for both of my puppies. Daisy offered that calming and comfort that my pups needed while my family and I were gone on vacation. Would definitely recommend Daisy for any services that your pet needs and will be rebooking her for any services that I need in the future. I dont trust many people to care for my pups, but Daisy has definitely made my decision worth it. A great "ROVER" in my book.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
“I would 1000% rebook Nadine! She was amazing! She did everything we needed, left great information about her check-ins, was very communicative, and just an overall fantastic experience! I’m verryyyy happy!”
“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”
About: As someone who has pets of their own, their health is my top priority! I have 6 cats, I work so they can have a comfortable and happy environment to live in! I currently work part-time with a random schedule, weekends are off limits but weekdays can work for me depending on what days I have off. I am able to follow clear instructions on any conditions about your animals. Animals are family, and I'll make sure that yours gets the best care needed. Understanding animals body language is important to me, knowing what our furry friends are trying to tell us builds trust, I want to make safe environment for myself and your animal.
“Teresa takes great care of our fur babies while we are on vacation. She responds quickly to messages and is very thorough when in dropping in. We really appreciate how caring she is and how many photos she posts of her visit.”
About: I believe taking care of a dog is like taking care of a baby, only with fur. I have 9 plus yrs of experience with dogs. I’ve dog sat for family & friends. What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience I have with dogs. I believe earning a dogs trust is a great sign of comfort of them be well raised dogs. Comfort &calmness is what dogs love most. Feel free to ask me anything. Open availability starting after July 18th 2026, out of country currently. Looking forward to new opportunity employment. I will give great pet care to my best ability upon return and ready to put your pet sitting worries at ease. At this time, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding or house sitting in my home because I currently live with family. However, I’d still love to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare (if applicable), and pet sitting in your home during the day. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Being attentive. Having a routine is what I believe pets thrive on to be an obedient. I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.

As for the month of June I am available after 1pm and completely available for the month of July. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them time to explore the outdoors. I am patient and am able to keep up with high energy pets as well. I use baby gates in my home for safety and access.
About: Animals have always been my passion! Ever since I was 13, I've taken care of many different kinds of animals, from scaley to furry; I've handled it all. I can dog walk, come to your home to pet or house sit, or stop by to let your dog out. You name it, I can do it! I live with 3 cats, and they all love attention! I also care for my dog and cat at my mother's as well when I can. I'll feed your pet, bathe your pet, take your pet to potty, play with your pet, and, of course, love on your pet! Animals are precious and always deserve love and attention.
“We left Aaron with our precious Lucy for 4 nights and we loved the way he knew how to gain Lucy's trust! We may have come by and take Lucy for a walk just so she remembers him. We felt confident with Aaron's dog whisperer skills. We will use him again. Thank you Aaron!”

“Melissa is a nice care giver! She would meet me 1 day before the walk starts to know Zoy and learn everything needs to know about Zoy. During the stay, she always keep the communication channel open and responds in no delay. We experienced the hottest weather in Bay Area, Mellisa make sure the fan is on max speed and air flows as well as leave plenty water for Zoy. Also provides professional observation and updated to me on how Zoy took the heat!! I was on business travel and she really took care of Zoy and eased on my worrisome mind. Highly recommend her!! Thank you Mellisa!!”

Kaiti is amazing! She is extremely communicative, reliable, and exceptionally sweet and truly just goes above and beyond. I looked forward to seeing her updates everyday while we were away and I had the best peace of mind that my boys were getting the absolute best care and lots of love. I highly recommend Kaiti and her services.
Daisy is an outstanding caregiver. My two cats absolutely adore her. She plays with them every day she visits. She sends me multiple pictures so I can see how much fun they’re having with her. I did not worry about them at all. I will definitely hire Daisy ❤️❤️❤️ 🐈⬛🐈⬛
Sarah is the absolute BEST. I went out of town for a wedding (very stressful and busy time) and Sarah gave me peace of mind that my pets are taken care of. I was never worried as she always sent very long, detailed messages about her visits and always goes the extra mile. I cannot recommend her enough! Very kind, communicative, and professional.
Grace is lovely! She stepped in to take care of my cat while I was away for 2 weeks and filled in the rover drop-in cards daily for me (with picutures) which was reassuring for me as a pet owner. Grace is very gentle and kind to animals and I highly recommend Grace to look after your pets.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Modesto stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Modesto. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
