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!
“Kaitlyn was exceptional and went above and beyond to care for my kitty while I was away. Kaitlyn is very friendly and great with animals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter 😊”
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.
About: Hello, I am an animal lover with a pretty flexible schedule and a heart full of compassion. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I am present and fun and guarantee your fur babies will love their time with me! I enjoy spending time with animals and playing outdoors with them for long and short periods of time and also understand dogs have emotions just like people and need love just the same. I truly believe your pets will enjoy their time with me and will be very well taken care of while in my care. I understand how stressful vacation planning can already be and look forward to helping out with your fur babies in anyway possible. Talk to you soon! I’m currently working part-time (school hours) and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets after work. That is if they still have energy after spending all morning with my hubby, as he works nights. I am pretty much free after 3pm on weekdays. 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.
“Bethany is a wonderful sitter who came in to save us last minute when our usual pet sitter had to cancel. With less than 24 hour notice, Bethany came over for a meet & greet and watched our pups for a few days. Bethany provided each visit with a summary and a few photos which is always appreciated. Thanks Bethany!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Ashanti is the best! I know my animals will always be well taken care of and well loved when we are away. Our dog has big feelings and energy sometimes and Ashanti is amazing with her. I’m so thankful for her service. Two thumbs up and a waggin tail per usual!”
About: I have 1 medium dog Preslie, a fully fenced yard and love to play with other animal friends. I know the pull that happens when you go away from your pet and put them into the hands of someone else. Pictures will be taken regularly, video by request of our time together. I'm more than happy to accommodate most requests to ensure that you're pet is well taken care of. I work full time but have evenings and weekends free. I am dependable and love animals of all kinds so spending my free time with them would be a pleasure. I have a fully fenced yard that they can lounge out on the turf or under the covered patio. Plenty of indoor space if they prefer to be indoors versus outdoors. Quiet neighborhood that we can go for walks around.
“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!”
“Brittany took care of Patches as if she were her own fur baby! Brittany went above and beyond when Patches was struggling due to my extended trip. When I returned home, Patches was very calm and content as a direct result of Brittany's care!”
About: I have the biggest compassion for dogs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, from puppies to dogs. I am well aware on how to handle them, I currently have 3 dogs with 3 different age groups so puppies and elders aren’t a problem to me! I also love to participate in doggy day out of shelters! I currently work part-time which gives me plenty of days off that I would enjoy spending with and caring for animals in case their parents aren't able to! Fur babies tend to feel safer and comfortable in their own homes, I will be sure to be clean and efficient with caring for animals to be sure they have a fun & safe environment and for you to have a neat home!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Modesto on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 658 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Modesto. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 92% 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.
