About: I’ve taken care of dogs from the puppy stage to the senior stage. I started at a young age being raised around animals. In high school, I cared for the neighborhood dogs when their parents were out of town! I have experience in training puppies, senior care, dog walking and more! I currently work Monday through Friday. My husband is always home for the most part. Someone is always home! My household absolutely love animals! We make the flexibility aspect work between my husband and I. I have a fenced yard. If your dog needs to be crated at this time, I do ask you bring your own crate but, I do have space for it. There is a park nearby where I live where I can take your furrbaby too as well. For safety, I deep clean prior to each furrbaby this is to ensure safety within the vaccinated and unvaccinated dogs. I do ask that your furrbaby is up to date on flea medication.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of six pets. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I make pet care a priority and strive to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, routines, and preferences to ensure the best possible care. As a nursing student and licensed esthetician, I understand the importance of attention to detail, responsibility, and clear communication. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos throughout your pet’s stay.🙌

About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.

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.

Nelson is amazing not just with our pup and bunnies but in general. He's helped us out last minute twice now and each time we've have felt as comfortable as we would had we been watching them ourselves. Great communicator, very flexible, and truly understands the stress pet owners get leaving their loved ones with someone new. Seriously, can't recommend him enough.

About: Thank you for reviewing my profile! I am unable to edit, but my preferred name is Astro. I am a 23-year-old ag-business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This June 2026, I have cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat for two different weeks. I will be housesitting for her this June 21-28, so I will only have availability for walks and drop-ins at this time. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy! June 21-28 I am booked for housesittng, but available for drop-ins and walks. My earliest availability starts 1:30pm on Monday thru Thursdays as I work 8a-12p. Fridays I work 10a-2/6pm so I can drop in before 9a or after 2/6pm. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she has been away a week + weekends, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished. In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).

Could not recommend Coralie enough! She did a great job watching my dog when I was home for the holidays, despite the fact that my dog really really doesn’t like strangers. She definitely knows how to work with dogs - highly recommend especially if you have a dog that you’re nervous about leaving with someone new.

About: I have many years of volunteering at an animal shelter and my main job was to train, and social many of the new dogs they would be in. As well as my entire life my family has always had pets growing up. I am currently working full time at a dental office however I have a set schedule. I am a person that likes to be extremely organized and plan my days accordingly along with my own pets needs as well as caring for the needs of other pets. I am very flexible when it comes to changing spaces. So whatever particular care your pet needs won’t be a problem. I can follow clear directions as well if there’s anything specific to your pet needs.

About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.

Now I’m here enjoying the California culture. I would be more than happy to help you with your dog needs. Feel free to contact me at any time of any day. Ohh I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador my father raised me bilingual.

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life. I know all the responsibilities and how to take care of them. I’d love to help out anyone who needs it. I can understand pets boundaries and respect them. If pets need special requirements I am willing to learn! I am not working currently so I am always available. I also have a working car so I am able to commute and transport. I accept last minute requests and cancellation. In my home all my pets are indoor. They see the vet when needed and are always loved and cared for. One of my dogs is not doing too well and have to give her medicine twice a day. I know how to keep my pets happy and healthy and would love to help others! Many friends and family rely on me to watch after their pets if needed. I know how to read body language and handle emergency situations.

About: I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals. I currently live with 3 amazing pets and have cared for 4 others who’ve passed over the years. I understand the full range of pet needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets who require a gentler touch. I’ve personally cared for: • Large breeds like pit bulls and huskies • Tiny seniors with medication routines • Cats of all temperaments, from shy to bold • Multiple pets at once, including managing introductions, feeding schedules, and comfort needs I bring a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel at ease. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, needs extra patience, or just wants their belly rubbed exactly 3 times and no more, I’m here for it. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is my daily routine. I already spend each day caring for my own pets — feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, cuddling, and making sure everyone feels safe and loved. Adding your pet into that rhythm is a natural fit. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to give pets regular attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. I’m used to balancing multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care, whether it’s exercise, meds, or just sitting together in a calm space. When your pet stays with me or I visit them, they become part of a routine built around comfort, care, and presence. My home is calm, pet-friendly, and fully set up to keep animals safe and comfortable. I only take in pets I know I can give proper attention to, no overcrowding, no chaos. Every animal gets their own space if needed, and introductions are done slowly and carefully. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d like them to use their crate here, I’m happy to accommodate that. I see crates as a safe, cozy space for pets who are used to them, never as punishment. If your pet isn’t crate-trained, that’s totally fine too. I’ll work with whatever helps them feel most secure. I keep all food, meds, and cleaning supplies stored securely. I never leave pets unsupervised in the yard or near open doors. I follow your instructions closely and communicate openly so you always know how your pet is doing. Most of all, I treat every pet like one of my own, with respect, patience, and care. Whether your pet is shy, playful, anxious, or just needs a quiet spot to chill, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.

About: I have taken care of my siblings dogs when they didn’t have time to when I was younger. Then around 15 my uncle had these dogs that would always make baby’s and he would give away so I would always come over and take care of the litter. I am mainly busy Thursday- Sunday. I am cutting hair starting up my clientele and I get the busiest during these days due to high demand for the weekend outings. I simply try and get them accustom to my smell and energy around them. I keep it calm and simple, some dogs are easier to win over than others. I’ll just let the natural trusting process take its course and slowly catch a bond !

Jessica was timely , responsive and kept me abreast of status of my pup Noelle . She made me feel comfortable by sending lots of pic and keeping her safe by holding her to ensure she doesn’t run out and get hurt . She fed her , brushed her coat and teeth and provided ample play time . She maintained my home . I would recommend Jessica in the future .

FAQs for House Sitting - South Dos Palos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Dos Palos. 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 South Dos Palos 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 South Dos Palos 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 South Dos Palos 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
