About: I have watched dogs of various sizes for friends, family, and neighbors. I follow care & feeding instructions very carefully to ensure my clients are comfortable and fed according to their dietary restrictions. All of my pets are also seniors, so I know what kind of patience and care goes into my elderly fur friends. I also tend to goats! My schedule is free for any animal that requires care at any time. Just drop me a message anytime from 10am-11pm and I’ll reply within 10 minutes! I will send photos and/or videos of your pets eating, walking, going outside, and their food bowl to ensure their safety and trust in your sitter!

About: I’ve spent the past year caring for pets, including helping care for a sick dog, where I followed specific instructions to make sure they were okay. That experience made me even more patient and attentive. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have school on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 12 PM, but outside of that my schedule is flexible. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including walks, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure pets get consistent attention and care, and I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to their routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you're away. I take safety very seriously, making sure it's a clean and secure place. I always pay close attention and follow all care instructions.

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.

About: Hey there! I'm from Wilton, and I'm great with animals. What sets my apart is I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life. On top of that I also have chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. So I don't mess around when it comes to animal care. Aside from providing exceptional care with my personal animals, I've also worked at a dairy where I milked the cows, fed them, and spent HOURS of time caring for them- so I'm definitely not new to spending some great time with animals that aren't mine. A lot of people I think come to pet sitting sites to earn some extra cash spending time with YOUR animals because it’s "easy". Truthfully, I'm doing this because I want to ease the anxiety of someone leaving their beloved family members (Yes I'm talking about your pets because they are definitely family) with someone they don't know, and provide others with the same amount of care and love I'd want someone to treat my animals with. My dog has a personal morning routine to get her hyped for the day, so I'm good with animals that need a little extra TLC! I work part time 4 days a week Monday through Thursday 6am-3pm. So for the rest of the day I'm free! I love to be outside and staying active so if your animals love the smell of the outside and having someone play games that get their brain moving- I'd love to help! I also do not work on weekend's so am totally free to pet-sit on weekends and weekdays! I live on 3 acres with friendly dogs, and lots of opportunity for your pets to be around animals they typically wouldn't see! I also have a kennel area if you would prefer that.

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

She also watered plants, filled my bird feeders, took out the trash and left our house neat and clean. I highly recommend Jelena, she’s the best!”

About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures

About: I’ve always had an affinity for animals. I trained & loved my 2 yorkies until they passed in their golden ages. I now have a 1 year old yorkie boy named Aston he is fixed, and very friendly. I also have a son that is 11 years old and he wants more pets, so I figured this would be a win win if we opted to be caregivers to give our guy a play friend and share our love of animals. Although my son will play with the pets, I assure that this time will be supervised and I will be the primary responsible caregiver. I work from home, as a life coach and my son is home schooled via zoom with his teacher. We can easily accommodate caring for additional pets during the week. I have a large, open real grass lawn space that is fenced in for there safety. I also Have all hardwood floors, so it’s very way to clean up any accidents if any occur.

About: Welcome to my profile! Hope you find what you’re lookin for. ❤️🐶 I have been a pet lover all my life and I've spent countless personal hours learning about our furry friends.. from physiology to behavioral sciences. I've trained and cared for every family dog that has passed through my home, which has given me in-depth experience with both young, old, and special needs pets. I am confident in my ability to care for your pet, big and small. You will find my hours extremely flexible, Mon-Fri: ANYTIME! Weekends: Negotiable (I am often volunteering at this time, but send me a message and I'll see what we can work out!) My own doggy gets fed and walked twice a day. I use a Redirect and Reenforce method that keeps dogs happy while maintaining good behavior. I keep safety in mind at all times, for example: never wearing headphones while outside with a pet- both animals and people can be unpredictable! Well versed with dog park etiquette if that is something you are interested in. If someone starts to get aggressive, we bounce!

(Up to 4 at a time!) 🐾 30+ Years of Experience ⭐ 5-Star Treatment 📋 References available 🐾 Puppies!! Kitties!! Doggies!!—Oh My! Since I was a kid I’ve always had a furry best friend by my side. I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. My specialty is small- to medium-sized boutique dogs and rescue pups, providing personalized care to the furry residents of East Sacramento, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst, and Midtown. As a resident of these areas myself, I know the neighborhoods, streets, parks, and walking areas well, so your pets will be cared for by someone who is truly local and familiar with the territory. I provide individualized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m especially patient with shy, timid, or cautious rescue pups and love earning their trust at their own pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, cozy couch snuggles, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to be their stand-in best friend while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean, tidy, and secure, respect your belongings and privacy, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner. .My specialties include expert belly rubs, enthusiastic walks, championship treat-giving (with permission!), and a Ph.D. in sweet animal baby talk. 🐶🐱💕 And kitties are welcome, too! I’m happy to provide meals, playtime, litter care, affection, and companionship—while fully understanding that cats generally prefer to be the ones in charge. 😸 Personalized care, happy pets & peace of mind—because your boutique babies and rescues deserve 5-star treatment! I’m currently finishing my degree in Social Work at American River College. I do have to go to campus (15 mins away) 4 days a week-Mon-Thursday from 10am-1pm. I prefer to work from anywhere with a reliable Wi-Fi connection, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while staying on top of my coursework. At the moment, I have a very open and flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also have reliable transportation, so whether your pets need walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or house sitting, I’m dependable and happy to help! Every pet is different, and I think that’s what makes this so much fun! I always like to meet in person or on zoom beforehand getting to know you and you getting to know me and of course learning about your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and favorite spots to be scratched before I even start. ***My goal is to make your time away feel as normal and stress-free for them as possible.*** Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, going on long walks, playing fetch until we’re both tired, giving medications, or simply curling up on the couch for a cuddle session, I’m all in. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep it clean, secure, and cared for, bring in the mail, water plants if needed, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner! My job is to make sure you come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and absolutely nothing to worry about. That’s the kind of peace of mind I’d want if someone were caring for my own furry family members.

About: My pet care experience began when I started living with my uncle as a teenager. Back in the Philippines, he would rescue puppies and keep them in the house until he could find them a foster home. After school, I would go straight home and take care of the rescues. I would feed them and keep them hydrated, and then take them out for a walk. I also taught them tricks until they could master it without treats. I strongly believed that training is an essential part of their growth. When I moved here, I adopted Astrid as a puppy and she has been with me for 3 years now. My main skills with pets includes strict attention to time management, understanding their behaviors, and attending to their needs. Other skills include having patience, clear communication with owners, being on time, and being responsible with the duties given. I currently work part-time as a cook in a nursing home. On my days off, I usually stay at home either on my computer or take my dog to play outside. I have a lot of leisure time on these days, and I believe that pet sitting will fulfill these times and keep me busy. In my home, I ensure that my dog sleeps and naps comfortably when tired. I make sure that there’s food for her and water always refilled. I keep my dog active by walking around the neighborhood and going to the playground. I also play the guitar and sing songs to her when there is nothing else to do. When she wants to go outside, I let her run free in the backyard surrounded with fences and have a shaded area for her when it gets too hot. I would also leave the door open in case she wants a colder environment which is inside the house. In a client’s home, I would ensure that their pets are well fed and hydrated. If there is an accident, I would willingly be responsible for that and take care of it. I would make sure that their pets are also being engaged in activities so that they would feel less bored when the parents aren’t home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sheldon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sheldon is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $55 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sheldon. 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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sheldon 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sheldon. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
