“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
“Madie was such a blessing to have as a sitter. She was beyond thorough and her love for my pet was tangible! She updated me all the time with pictures to keep my heart at ease while I was away from my geriatric dog haha. She handled my senior dog with great care and my house with the same respect as her own. I am so thankful!”
“Savannah is great- reliable, communicative, and friendly. While gone for the weekend she made sure to not only check on my two cats, but love on them and play with them too. My favorite part was the update pictures she would send, as well as feedback on how my cats were doing (eating, energy, litter activity, etc.) and having the veterinary background that Savannah does, my babies were in great hands. Consider Savannah for your booking and you won’t be disappointed!”
“Frenchie stayed with our two pups for a week. She was fantastic. Very responsive with her communication and attentive to our dogs. We'll definitely use her again!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.
“Britney was amazing with our dogs. We needed a dog sitter with relatively short notice and she made a point to visit prior to the stay to meet our dogs and take notes about their care. She gave updates and photos of the dogs each day and left our house in great shape. I highly recommend Britney as a responsible and attentive dog sitter. Thank you!!”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever, and later a yellow labrador who was my best canine friend throughout my childhood and teenage years. I helped my family raise all our dogs, including another yellow lab and a Bernese lab mix. I have cared for many neighbors and friends dogs, and am able to handle a wide range of personalities. I am confident handling any size dog on a leash and will work with your dogs specific needs, including any special conditions. I am comfortable administering medication if necessary. I take care of other dogs the same way I take care of my own, with lots of love and attention. It makes me happy to see dogs smile and I love to be the reason behind that smile! I am currently in grad school, so while busy, my schedule is very flexible and I'm able to care for dogs any day of the week, any time of the day. In my home, any pets I care for will be spending time with my own dog, Skye. Outside of my home, I'm able to provide pet care with or without the addition of my dog Skye based on client preferences.
“Air offered to do a meet-and-greet before the booking date, was on time, was very respectful of my home, and was super sweet to my Zoey. Zoey has separation anxiety, and she was fast asleep and totally relaxed in Ari’s lap when I got home. I highly recommend Ari and will be booking her again!”
About: I grew up with many pets including an iguana, a rabbit, a fish, a cat, and a dog. I always loved going outside with all our animals and caring for them. I have dog-sat for coworkers, friends, and family, who trusted me to care for their beloved furry friends. I currently do not have a dog of my own, and so I am excited to spend time with and care for others! I have a full-time job from 8-4 and have two days off that are not always weekends. I live an active lifestyle and love walking and hiking. I would love to be able to take dogs with me as a part of this program. I also would be able to check on pets early in the morning and then after work. I truly have a flexible schedule and am willing to be flexible for yours as well. I will follow all house rules as well as training rules. I listen to all owner needs and expectations, and follow through on them. I want your dog to feel safe and also have consistency.
About: I have been taking care of people's pets since 2014! I have cared for a variety of pets (both cats and dogs) of varying ages and sizes. Most of the pets I have cared for have been healthy, but some have had special feeding requirements or physical limitations, such as hip dysplasia. Animals are a huge part of my life as I have been doing wildlife work for the past 3 years, so my care for animals is wide-ranging. I'm ready to meet and love your pets! I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, with consistent availability T-Th with some flexibility on Fridays. I am always willing to discuss and adapt schedules as needed; just reach out! I exclusively do house visits and will always treat your home with the utmost respect. If any specific access instructions are needed, I will be happy to oblige. I can ensure that your pets will be kept under a keen eye during my visits and that I provide a positive environment for them in your home.
“Beginning to end Hannah made everything easy and felt comfortable with her immediate. I was confident she would take good care of are of my golden and communication was responsive”
“Ave is an amazing dog and house sitter! She stayed with our older dog for a long weekend and took such great care of him. She was easy to communicate with and sent regular updates. It gave us peace of mind to know Buster was in good hands in his familiar home environment while we were gone.”
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life spanning from kittens to elderly animals. I love and care for all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently a full time student who lives off campus who also works three days a week. My weekends and nights are totally free with many gaps in my class schedule that would allow me to go check on your pets! I am very excited to offer whichever environment your pet enjoys most! I can be exuberant and play with your younger pups or offer a warm lap for an elderly/shy kitty to snooze on.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Emma was attentive, responsible, and caring for my two cats during her housesit. She made sure the cats were safe and happy and left my house very tidy. Thank you Emma!”
“Alysse is truly exceptional. She took excellent care of our dog, Sadie! She was attentive, she played games with her and kept her engaged so that she wouldn’t miss us too much. She is super reliable, and I have every confidence in her as a sitter, especially with her background as a vet tech. I highly recommend Alysse and will absolutely book her again!”
About: I have experience caring for animals through more than 100 hours of work at a state park and 60 hours of volunteering at an animal shelter. I’ve also had pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish however I just moved so I have none currently. I’m responsible, patient, and comfortable helping with feeding, attention, and everyday pet care. I am a door dasher so I’m available whenever and not tied up to a schedule! So when you need me most I’ll be there :D I care for animals by feeding and giving them water of course but most important to me is safety when my dogs got boarded it was always a problem my dogs would always come back with some type of injury and I hate that I want to provide the most safe environment possible while haveing fun with them and my experience with animal care at a animal shelter/state park has thought me a lot and how to tend to animals and my teachers were professionals!
“Kaeli was a huge help to us last weekend. Our rescue Australian Shepherd is a high energy, high need puppy who has aggressive tendencies towards strangers. Kaeli knew exactly how to navigate the situation, how to work with her and how to create a trust breakthrough. On top of that, she took great care of our home and left it in better shape than what she found it in. She went above and beyond. If you are looking for someone who really knows animas as opposed to someone who just watches them, Kaeli is your person”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Patterson is $55

I feel SO lucky to have found Cate! I was out of the country for work for 3 weeks and she took amazing care of my 10 year old GSP Willie, and was also a wonderful house sitter. She kept me up to date with photos and videos, provided the exercise he needed, and was hugely attentive with cuddles and play. Friends who stopped by to borrow a car also raved about her. I would have her again in an instant, and I could tell that my pup just adored her. Don't hesitate to bring her into your home and care for your dog - she is just fantastic!
Lillian is everything you want a dogsitter to be! She loved our pups, our pups loved her, she updated us frequently with pictures and texts, was fantastic with communication, and took wonderful, loving care of our dogs. We’ll definitely be asking her to dog sit for us in the future! :)
Carol did really well with our dog! We came home to a hapoy dog and our home just the way we left it. She sent us daily pupdates and stayed in communication with us and I really appreciated that. We also had a mishap (that was our fault) that she handled very well! Im glad we found her and we're crossing our fingers that she will be available whenever we're out of town again!
Sagal treated Lexi like her own which was all that mattered in our book. Lexi ate well while we were gone, and full of energy when we returned so I know she was happy while we were out of town. Sagal left our house in a clean orderly manner. I’d definitely use her again if she were not moving away for college.
Nicolas, or Cole, watched Riley and Orion for us while we were gone several hours at a wedding. He kept in touch with us, took the pups for potty walks and sent photos to update us. Riley isn't always comfortable with men, but she was all over Cole, and Orion loved him, too!! He fed them, and they both ate, which isn't always a given during travel and new places. Cole was great with them, and they may have wanted to go home with him if we'd let them 😁 Thank you for making it much easier and worry-free to be at my niece's wedding. We appreciate the help!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Patterson is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Patterson. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
