“Once again Sam did a great job! He kept our babies happy. Our house was just as we left it (actually a little better). Can’t thank him enough. It’s been such a relief to know we have someone that can help out when needed. Thank you Sam!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many animals. I have 7 doggies and 2 cats most of them being rescues. I occasionally dog sit for my neighbors. I’m currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am available any day of the week. I do not plan to board any animals just to be safe because I have too many doggies at home. but I love every dog like it’s my own and will make sure I am there for all its needs.
“Coreena was great ! Did a wonderful job Pets and housesitting. We have multiple rescue pets some with illness and meds. We were comforted that Coreena could care for our animals because she is a vet tech. Not having to board them is such a relief! Our Rescues do not do well with boarding due to anxiety and past experiences. Highly recommend Coreena and will be rehired for future pet and housesitting needs.”
About: Mom of 2 rescue pitbulls, lover of all dogs. Since rescuing my dogs, who have reactivity and aggression challenges, I have worked with professional trainers on basic obedience, on and off-leash obedience, and behavior modification, and can care for dogs of all temperaments . I also have experience in caring for dogs with medical challenges or disabilities and following a medication schedule, as one of my rescues just became a senior that has a heart condition and a visual impairment. My favorite part of caring for dogs is making it fun! I enjoy exercise and enrichment activities of all kinds. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to work around your schedule to care for your animals! Please message me to ask about availability! Safety is my number 1 priority, especially as an owner of dogs with behavioral challenges and breed stigma. I am experienced with crate training inside the home and in my vehicle, place commands, canine body language and situational awareness. I have experience advocating for dogs who need space on walks and even separation and rotation in multi-dog homes.
About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.
“Chaz is a great sitter and my doberman loves the attention he gets from him. Chaz stayed overnight at my house for several days and left the house clean and i could not tell he was even there after i got home and my dog was happy”
About: Personalized care, a safe environment, and lots of love and attention to each pet. Inc walks, treats, updates/pictures and an eased mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. Pet sitting fits into my daily life by integrating pet care tasks like feeding, walking, and playtime into your regular schedule, providing companionship and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensure their basic needs are met with regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Maintain a safe and clean environment, follow any specific instructions from the owner, and provide plenty of attention and affection to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”

On weekends, I am fully available and can provide flexible care to ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big responsibility. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, reliable communication, and structured walks to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and supported at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 17 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Patterson. 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 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.
Tip: 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
