“Kaitlyn was on time, let me know how our dog was doing when she got there and sent us a full report when she was done which included some very cute pictures. As first time dog owners we were nervous about leaving her for this long and having someone come over but Kaitlyn put our minds at ease. I’ve already booked her for another drop in.”
“Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M”
“Jessica is very caring and responsible with our pets. She left the house clean and the pets happy. She is a great communicator and we felt comfortable having her in our house with our pets. She even watered my plants while we were away. Would definitely book Rover with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10—big, small, shy, or extra wiggly! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and pamper their pets for years. Along the way, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and other unique companions. Whether it’s a turtle that needs tank time, a parrot that loves to chat, or a pup who lives for belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of the family! I’m a college student with an open and flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. My home is spacious, cozy, and fully pet-friendly! I have plenty of toys, treats, bones, and comfy spots for pets to relax and play. While I don’t have a yard, I’m close to several beautiful dog parks and walking trails here in Clovis—perfect for daily walks and exercise. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family.
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats for over 4 years, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I don’t work right now, so I have a very open schedule and can give pets my full attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your pet’s routine. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now, your furry friend will get my full attention and care while staying with me.
“Rebecca was great watching our two dogs at our house this weekend. We were glad to get periodic updates on the dogs and she left the house very clean. Would highly recommend!”
“This was a very last minute booking as I had some things come up but Mary Elizabeth was very sweet and easy to work with on such short notice! Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kind for 3-4 years. I’ve been trained using Cesar Milan methods. I’m also very patient and caring. Most dogs tend to naturally be drawn to this energy in me. I have an open ended schedule. No other jobs, except for DoorDash, which I can arrange around any dog care services you may need. Happy to help where I can. I am comfortable with crate training and adapting to different house rules. While I cannot home your furry friend in my home yet, I’m happy to do so in your home.
About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
“Andrew was great! He was very flexible on timing and was able to come early when our schedule changed. He took great care of our pets and left our house spotless. Will book again!”

About: I am a huge animal lover with experience working with a variety of species including dogs, cats, horses and even exotic animals such as sharks, dolphins, tigers and bears!

About: I am a dedicated animal lover who cannot have pets due to housing rules. Because of this, I treat every pet sitting opportunity with extra care and excitement. I am reliable, attentive, and will give your pet my full focus, affection, and high-quality care It fits into my schedule perfectly. While I currently do DoorDash on the side, I want to be more active. I have a lot of energy, love hiking, and thrive outdoors, which makes pet care a great fit for me. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect. I closely follow all owner instructions, maintain a clean environment, and stick to strict feeding and exercise schedules to ensure the animals stay safe, happy, and comfortable.

I am detail oriented, so I will be perfect if your pet needs scheduled food, medication, or any other activity. Let me know if you have any extra needs for your pet or your home.
About: I've always had pets in my home. I know how important it is for our pets to be taken care of and have access to water and their food. I learned that not only do they need to be fed but they need exercise and affection. Pet care fits well in my schedule. I will most likely be available in the afternoon and on weekends. My schedule can be very flexible if needed. I have cats in my home and the way I take care of them is every morning I feed them and make sure they have fresh water. After work, I feed them again and they come inside for a bit and relax with me for a bit. I love my cats so taking care of them is no hard work for me.
About: Hi! My name is Naylea and I’ve always loved being around animals. Most of my experience comes from caring for pets belonging to family and friends, and now I’m excited to start helping more pet owners while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Spending time with animals never feels like work to me. I love being outdoors and going on long walks, exploring, and giving dogs the exercise and stimulation they need. But if your pet prefers relaxing inside, getting belly rubs, or just having a calm companion nearby, I’m just as happy doing that too. I believe every pet is different, so I always try to match their energy and routine. I also have pets of my own, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with different personalities. I have a female French Bulldog, a male Pug, and a Siamese mix cat. My pug is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs, so if your pet enjoys other dogs, he could join us for a walk or some playtime. My Frenchie is a little more selective with new friends, so she usually sticks to her own space. And my cat mostly enjoys eating and napping all day like a king. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible with each pet’s needs and personality. My goal is to give your pet a fun, relaxed experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Experienced with dogs and cats 🐾 Comfortable with different energy levels and personalities 🐾 Love long walks and outdoor time 🐾 Patient and attentive with shy pets 🐾 Photo and update friendly My work schedule is pretty flexible. I would be able to watch and take care of your baby anytime of the week, I would just need to have 2-3 day notice so I can clear my schedule for the day/s. I have a small fenced yard with two small dogs, one is a little feisty when it comes to meeting new dogs & the other is a little timid but very sweet. My cat is also iffy when it come to meeting dogs but she is super sweet when she trusts them. I will cage my dogs if other animals are around, just for safety reasons!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Joaquin. 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 San Joaquin 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 San Joaquin 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 San Joaquin 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 with handling special pet needs in San Joaquin. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
