“Bethany, is the best! My kitty was diagnosed with diabetes right before I had to leave for my trip. I was very worried about leaving but am so glad Bethany was available. She sent me reports daily. When my kitty stopped eating which was dangerous given his diagnosis. Bethany was kind enough to go out and find food that he would eat. She is the best and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a conscientious and caring person to watch their fur babies.”
About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.

“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: 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.
“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!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I was relied on to take care of them with feeding them, walking, bathing them and training them. Etc. I’m currently not working but I am a stay at home mom , So I’m able to have time to play with pets and make sure to do anything necessary to help out, I’m able to house sit, boarding, and foster. We do have a small male dog in the house that we can keep separate from the dogs/cats. I always check fence gates before letting a dog outside. Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates. We do prefer the animal to have a crate we can put them in or we can provide one too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Modesto
Daisy was phenomenal - she was perfectly on time to every one of her drop-in’s during our trip and provided detailed info about the dogs and how they were doing each day. It was such a relief to know they were in loving, capable, trustworthy hands and we cannot overstate the peace of mind that brought us while we were across the country. We’d absolutely use her again for future trips.
Sarah took care of my kitties and even my shy one warmed up to her charm. I received detailed updates on a daily basis and 10-15 pictures each day. I really felt like they were in good hands with Sarah. In addition to feeding, playing and caring for my kitties, Sarah was agreeable to take out my garbage cans and bring them back in. She gave extra water to new flowers I recently planted outside and brought in packages that were delivered. Sarah notified me of a pool problem and helped avert a big problem. I will definitely ask Sarah to do drop in visits again. She did more than just what I asked but used common sense in protecting my kitties’ home.
Danny HATES getting boarded. He always comes home anxious, hungry, or injured. We decided to try Rover this time and it was our best decision yet! Kaitlyn was great and gave us a ton of pictures and videos with details about each visit. She even gave lot of attention to our cats when she was there. 10/10 and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Kaitlyn again.
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.

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.
