“Alexis was great! We had a last minute need to book a pet sitter and had some difficulty finding someone with all the dates open. We luckily found Alexis and she couldn’t have been more perfect. We did the meet and greet the day before leaving on our trip and knew immediately that we could count on her to be reliable compassionate with our dachshund. We could tell that he really liked her. She was very responsive in all communication and provided many great pics of our little guy while we were away. We will recommend her to our friends and make her our first choice for future bookings. Can’t say enough about her calm disposition and caring attitude. Thank-you, thank-you Alexis for being there when we needed you. Since we were away for a family death and funeral, knowing that we had someone as trustworthy as you to take care of our pet enabled us to focus on family and make the trip as best as it could.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She sent several photos for the kids and I and over communicated everything! Teddy absolutely loved his time with Jennifer and was well taken care of. 🐾”

I'm working part-time at a clinic, as BT which is 3 to 6 hrs depending on days I'm scheduled. I'm doing this as a side gig. I'll guarantee to help and take care of your pets for you.

About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I can remember; we’ve had big and small dogs. I give my dogs food at a timed time, I walk them, I bathe them and I play with them. I take care of my aunts cat I feed her, play with her and I also clean her litter. I am able to give multiple updates of your pet throughout the day to allow you to have a peace of mind, I know I would be worried if my dogs were away from me for too long as well :). I have a big back yard where your little ones can play and run. I am currently doing summer school for Fresno state I am available in the afternoons after 2pm, I’ll have plenty of time afterwards. Since it’s hot right now I typically go on walks at night.

“We appreciate Randee's excellent care of our three cats! She was fantastic and we will definitely invite her back. Not only were our cats very relaxed when we got home, it was obvious that Randee took excellent care of our home as well. Randee's communication while we were away certainly gave us a sense of peace knowing that our fur babies were in her good hands. She is a wonderful person, very caring and professional. I recommend her without hesitation!!”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of the dogs and our house. Her communication was amazing, and I appreciated the detailed updates. I would definitely book her again!”
About: For as far back as I can remember I have been a huge animal lover. Growing up my family always had multiple animals in our home. My dog is now 10 years old and I trained him beginning when he was 2 months. Through college I pet sat for several families and friends who needed someone they could trust while away. Now I am 35, recently became a stay at home mom and I find great joy in caring for others pets when they head out of town and need someone they can trust. I have experience with dogs/cats of all ages, sizes and various breeds. I work part time for a school district in the valley. My flexible schedule allows me sufficient time to dedicate to dog sitting/walks in the early AM, afternoon or evening on weekdays and a fully open schedule on the weekends. Whatever the rules and routines are for your pet I will be sure to abide by them and ensure they are treated with the utmost love and care. I myself love to travel and I know how much it means to have someone you can trust watching over your pets while away.

I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!

FAQs for House Sitting - Raco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 489 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raco. 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 Raco 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 Raco 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 Raco 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
