About: I have many years of volunteering at an animal shelter and my main job was to train, and social many of the new dogs they would be in. As well as my entire life my family has always had pets growing up. I am currently working full time at a dental office however I have a set schedule. I am a person that likes to be extremely organized and plan my days accordingly along with my own pets needs as well as caring for the needs of other pets. I am very flexible when it comes to changing spaces. So whatever particular care your pet needs won’t be a problem. I can follow clear directions as well if there’s anything specific to your pet needs.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 10+ years of experience with dogs and other pets. I’m attentive, patient, and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and give them the love and care they deserve! I currently work full-time, but I’m available most mornings and after work for pet care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, walks, and visits when booked in advance. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they’re in my care. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Chelsea was very responsive and sent wonderful pictures and videos. Our cat, which warms up to no one. Feel completely in with Chelsea. I highly recommend her ace will be reaching out again when future needs arise”
“Max was amazing with photo updates and text messages throughout our 5 day away vacation. We could tell our dog and cat were calm and happy due to his attentive care. He was prompt in arriving which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and have already booked him for our next away trip!”
About: My name is Zoe, I’m a Delta College student who original went in with Business as my major, to now Paralegal Studies to then hopefully next nursing. Though it’s always been my dream to start my own boarding company in the future! I’ve worked with animals for 3 years plus, non profit organizations within shelters or adoption events within volunteer work, along with working at a pet store a couple years at Carter’s Pet Mart. Since working their I’ve built my own clientele with house sitting birds previously sold from us, or dogs that come in regularly for nail trims for me! As a child i’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, which has grown into the person I am today! I would love to meet yours furry friends! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as I house sit on a regular basis for plenty of people birds and dogs. I am a college student looking to make extra money outside of my regular job at a Law Office to make extra cash for college expenses and saving up for my own future as I am an independent student. I prefer to house sit, as it works into my schedule well, and makes potty breaks and etc, a lot more simpler and happier for your furry ones! During my work days I stop by multiple times a day to do potty breaks, and give them some love for a moment. On my days off i enjoy to walk the dogs or play with the birds by giving enrichment. As a college student and worker, I find the time throughout my day if working or having class to stop by throughout the day to do multiple potty breaks. Some prefer for me to stay at their home with their animals, and some just prefer for me to stop by and hang out with them as well as feed and water, and clean any business that had been done. Either way I am willing to do so! Though I do prefer to watch pets in the clients home.
“We booked Alysia to house sit our two dogs and cat with only a few days notice. She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away and was incredible with our pets and our home. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future and highly recommend her to others.”

“Jesse was kind, organized, communicated with us while we were away...and the dogs took to him immediately. He has a great energy and we hope to be able to have him watch our girls again! Zero complaints. All praise.”
About: I’m a kind, passionate and resourceful dog lover who grew up with dogs — I have worked with them my whole life. My own dog, a 105-pound Shepherd/Rottweiler mix, is my best buddy. We love to hike in different areas, going out twice a week or more, and sometimes bring along other clients’ dogs as well. At home we lounge with my cats, enjoying their nature and inherent laziness. Having worked in the past as a vet assistant in emergency animal medicine, I know how to discover each pup’s individual personality by paying attention to their behavioral cues. Their unconditional love and devotion lets me know that I’ve done my job (and it’s a great perk)! Working with and finding fur-ever homes for many kinds of dogs has taught me patience and to take the time to enjoy all the small stuff. I would love to grow my business by assisting clients with their dog’s walking needs or taking care of those sweet, four-legged babies while their people are away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Maryann! She took such great care of Lucca and treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!”
“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.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing. She took care of our two dogs and our two cats for ~5 days. Our animals, and our home, were all in great shape upon our return. She sent lots of videos and updates. I would highly recommend her.”
“Regina took amazing care of our pup, kept us updated and left the house and pup in excellent condition. She was super sweet with our dog, very respectful and knowledgeable. We feel so grateful for her work with our fur baby! Thanks, Regina!”
About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had a ♥ for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and a mini pig. A plus for me is that I have been a foster for Animal Rescue of Tracy for 10+ years now, so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, from those who need special medication to rambunctious dogs to newborn kittens. There is no animal you can give me that I will not love, pet, cuddle, and care for. 🌷 I am a responsible 25 year old who has been caring for animals my whole life. This is my first Rover account, but I have been pet sitting in the Tracy community for 10 years. I live on 1.5 acres with 25 + animals, so I am very experienced and would love to help out with your furry friends! :) I'm currently working part-time with the majority of my work being remote so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! 🏡 I live on 1.5 acres of property so your dogs will have plenty of space to run around, play, and relieve themselves. Depending on your dog's friendliness, they can remain inside with my two small dogs, or I can keep them in our supervised dog run area just for them. If you have cats, they will be contained in their own area in my house so that they do not run and hide, as new environments tend to cause anxiety. 🏠 If house sitting, I make the animals feel as comfortable as possible to ease any stress of their owners being away. Pets & play are always guaranteed. I also send pictures everyday & when asked! ⭐ My routine is simple: follow your directions on feeding, walking, medication if needed, and I will handle the other most important part: giving them lots of love!
About: I provide a stress free and free roam experience for your pet (and sibling), where they can feel at home. I only take one pet and a sibling at a time to facilitate this environment. All dogs must have mandatory vaccinations; rabies, Distemper (DA2PP), Bordetella, Lepto, and flea medication. Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVCP), and flea medication. After multiple life changing events, my home feels unnatural without a pet. I work as an elementary school teacher nearby and enjoy walks or slow bike rides on my trike in the evening. On weekends, I enjoy throwing a frisbee with my son at the park, we'd love to have your dog play with us too! I treat animals as another member of the family who deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention. A little spoiling here and there doesn't hurt, right? I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of shade for your little one to roam safely. My neighborhood is older and quiet, perfect for peaceful naps.

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 Patterson 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 Patterson 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 Patterson 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.
