“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”
“I appreciate Marilyn staying with the boys again, for an at house sitting with my 2 pups. I would reccomend her to friends needing extra help for day trips or at home support. Thanks again 🙂”
“Todd was an exceptional dog sitter this was my first time to use Todd but I would definitely use him for future dog sitting. He was very attentive in regards to what my pets needs were and met those 100% he sent pictures and was in constant contact with me if questions arise. Todd is a five star dog sitter and I would highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs. We are ready have a trip planned and the following weeks and he is the only person that I would trust to stay with my babies. He is awesome!!!!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley, where I supported animals through post-surgical recovery, monitored their health, and assisted with feeding, cleaning, and enrichment activities. I’ve worked closely with veterinary staff and have been trained to recognize signs of distress, provide comfort, and ensure a safe environment for pets of all ages. I’m also fluent in ASL (American Sign Language), which allows me to communicate effectively with pet owners who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for-whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. Availability: I am available Monday to Friday: Flexible hours (varied schedule) Weekends: Available upon request I am able to accommodate appointments and special requests based on client needs. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow your routines closely to ensure consistency and minimize stress for your pet. I maintain a clean and secure environment, provide fresh water and food, and make sure your pet has a cozy space to rest and play. My experience at the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley taught me how to monitor animals during post-surgical recovery, recognize signs of distress, and respond calmly and effectively. I’m especially skilled in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering basic medications and offering gentle support. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and professionalism every step of the way.
“Makeda was very accommodating when I requested an orientation visit a week or so before the scheduled dogsitting, and impressed me not only by the details she had requested about my dog in advance but also with her recall of what I had told her. She sent several photos of my dog to me while I was away, and apart from a scattering of treats she left for my pet, she otherwise left no trace--very clean and respectful.”
About: I’m very excited to work with you!🌈🌻💛 I've been caring for a variety of animals ever since I started high school. I love them so much, I'm dedicating my life to saving each and every one I can as I study to become a veterinarian :) I have experience from high school and college as well as personal experience with animals of my own. I’ve interned with veterinarians in my previous studies and continue to pursue my passion in advanced animal science college classes. From cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, donkeys, pigs, and even the goats at the LA zoo — I’ve learned a lot! ｡:ﾟ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ﾟ:｡ I care for my pets as precisely as I possibly can depending on their needs. Considering I have experience caring for senior dogs and have one of my own, I am very familiar with the strict diets and medical needs. I would say senior dogs are my specialty, so if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter to look after your golden girl or boy you’ve come to the right gal😎 I work part time and have online classes, so my schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what times work best for you and I'll do my best to work with your schedule! For in home stays, walks, and daycare visits I attach an Apple Air Tag connected to my phone onto pets' collars during their stay/walk as well as a tag with my contact info in case of an emergency. As long as the collar is on, I'd be able to find a lost pet anywhere, I take safety very seriously! ｡:ﾟ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ﾟ:｡ I also have a Wyze camera and relatives who work from home so any doggies staying home if I’m out will always be watched :)
About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and was fortunate to help raise Golden Retriever puppies, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. I also grew up around horses, which has given me a deep appreciation for animals and the patience, responsibility, and consistency that come with caring for them. I'm currently available on a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of days and times, including weekdays and weekends, and am highly dependable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide attentive, loving care while following the owner’s instructions and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. I treat each home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and comfortable for both the pets and their owners.
About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I am also currently taking dog training classes to become a dog trainer. I’m available starting Friday afternoon and all day on weekends for onboarding sitting. Weekdays: Available for morning walks Available for morning and evening check ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕
About: I love all animals and though I am a BIG time cat lover, I’ve also been lucky enough to raise multiple puppy litters with my family. I have my own kitty and puppy now, and have been taking care of family friends animals as a side job for roughly 4 years now! I am currently a full-time student annd work on-call for nursing, so I have ample time on my hands to hangout with all the furry cuties you have. I take lots of pride in making sure all pets are safe and cared for, and I’m more than comfortable with crates, fences, etc. to ensure their well-being.
About: I think my skills at handling animals is very rare cause I see them as family not pets and they deserve love also just like humans Because the love I have for them I can make time cause you make time for what you love and I’ve had several pets and loved them all I care for all pets as directed and make sure that I do as taught and told and nothing more cause it’s a process dealing with pets and they aren’t all the same
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life, all with very different personalities! I also started pet sitting from a very young age. I’m good with all ages, from puppies to seniors! I’m currently medical school and miss my pets so much, so I would love to help take care of yours! I am in medical school right now, so I have class from 8am-12pm every day. I also have occasional afternoon labs, but I’m pretty flexible. At home, I have two dogs that live in the house and have access to a fenced in yard! However, I will only be able to accept services within the clients own home, so I will care for their pets however they feel is best!
“Jennifer was very responsive and attentive to detail. She was able to provide all the necessary compassion and needs for my 4 legged family members to feel comfortable for an at home overnight stay. I would both recocomend her to new clients and look forward to having her back. Thanks! 🙂”
“Cadence will always be the best sitter we’ve ever had for our cat, Miso! We would not hesitate to choose Cadence again & again to take care of our place and Miso. Thank you for being so sweet to our lil family!”
“Lindsey was incredible with our fur babies! She was very attentive to their needs including caring for one of our pups that was in heat. She was very thorough in learning their schedules and how to best care for them. She sent great updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking Lindsay again! 😁”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have cared for every personality you can imagine —> hyper pups, mellow cats, protective dogs, social butterfly pets, and those who think they’re human. Over the years I’ve learned the most important skill in all any care: patience. I began pet sitting in 2015 for friends and family and quickly became the go-to person when someone needed reliable care. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, turtles, snakes, fish, and hamsters. I am a former Petco employee so I have seen, cared, and handled them all. I adapt easily to each pet’s routine and personality, and I always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I can take care of our furry friend on days that become available to me. I have an accurate schedule set up two weeks in advance with plenty of time to check up on meet and greets. For 🐶: I have experience with crate trained dogs as well as house bound only dogs. I make sure that the pet’s physical health is stimulated by taking them on walks and playing games with them. I adjust to their schedule and their likes/dislikes in the home. I have experience with dogs that weren’t allowed in certain rooms or outside without a leash and I would make sure of that. For 🐱: these furry friends thrive on routine and familiarity, so I focus on keeping everything consistent and stress-free. When caring for cats in their own home, I stick to their regular feeding schedule, refresh water bowls, and keep litter boxes clean. I spend time with them based on their personality whether that’s interactive play or just being nearby for company. I also make sure their space stays tidy and cozy so they feel secure while you’re away. For all other friends 🐠🐢🐹🦜🐓🐰🦎🐍: I understand how important it is to keep even the smallest pets feeling safe and cared for while you are away. I always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routines consistent, whether that means feeding fish and turtles on schedule, refreshing water for rabbits and hamsters, making sure birds and chickens have a clean and comfortable space, checking heat lamps for reptiles, etc I pay attention to the little details that matter, like maintaining proper water / temperature levels for aquatic pets, cleaning cages and habitats thoroughly, and giving each animal the right balance of attention and gentle handling based on their needs. My goal is always to create a calm and secure environment so every pet, no matter how small, stays healthy and happy until you return. 🪴: I also offer plant care, keeping your plants watered and healthy so they thrive until you return.
About: Hi!! I’m an animal lover since childhood! Grew up in a household with dogs and other pets. Gained 5+ years hands-on experience walking, feeding & caring for them. I volunteered at my local vet clinic for about a year. I am currently an online student and on my way to becoming a veterinary technician. 🩺🐾 I currently work a part-time job. I’m available in the mornings and after 6pm. I love being active, so walking yours pets wont be an issue! I’m available during the summer and winter for boarding and house sitting. My dog by the name geo, is sweet and playful. He is an inside dog and loves going on walks. He goes crazy for walks, treats, and playful activities. I make sure to care for his needs (food, water, bathroom, dental, physical activity, mental health etc.) My other dog, Baby, is a pitbull. I know when people hear that they become terrified but it’s a myth! She’s a sweetheart! They both get along very well. The best small and big dog combo 🐾💕
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about most of my life growing up. I have a high tolerance for dogs more energetic than others and am able to connect with most animals fairly quickly. I am new to rover, but I am adaptable to all new situations and new environments and will be able to help make things easier. I go to college right now and have time on my hands to really enjoy quality time with your animals. I am reliable and easy to communicate with if any changes are met, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being the only days I cannot show due to classes. I heavily depend on the instructions I am given when arriving to a clients home. If there is a schedule required when it comes to feeding any dogs or cats I will accommodate to their needs as best as possible. Along with any restrictions there might be such as not letting them on certain pieces of furniture.
About: I have grown up around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience fostering and owning animals, understanding their unique needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet as I not only want to provide basic care but a positive and productive experience for the owner and pet. I am currently a full time college student. I have plenty of free time on my hands to spend with your furbabies. I own 6 of my own cats and understand the responsibility and attentiveness that is involved in the care of pets. I understand each pet is different, hence I want to adhere to an environment that makes them as comfortable as possible. Any established routines with your pet will be continued, extending to their feeding schedule and playtime. Additionally, I will take note of any special circumstances your pet may have and will adapt my care to fit their needs.

The average cost of House Sitting in Patton is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $32 per night.

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 Patton 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 Patton 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 Patton 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 Patton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
