“Daniella is wonderfully attentive to our 4-month-old puppy’s needs. Ash is still in the midst of potty training, and Daniella patiently observes Ash’s cues to ensure he makes his potty breaks on time. She doesn’t hesitate to spend time with him in his indoor playpen, actively engaging him in play while ensuring his safety, especially now that he can reach the top panel at chest height. Daniella also keeps our daily journal up to date with Ash’s meals and potty schedule, which helps us stay on track with his routine. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”
About: I have had pets since I was 11 years old, in fact, I was a dog and cat rescuer for many years. A true pet lover. Set your mind at ease by giving me a call so that you can leave with peace of mind that your pet will be taken care of with experience and knowledge. I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family for years. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet and companion. You can rest assured that your pet will be in safe hands so that you can enjoy your time off. I will feed, care and walk your pet(s) early in the morning and will return by noontime. I can also stay all weekend. I am very dependable and reliable. I currently work MWF from 9-12 PM. However, since this is only 3 hours, I am able to go back to my job as your pet sitter for the rest of the day. I lost my dog Lilli in 2021 and will get a much needed companion soon. Just a few years ago I rescued dogs and cats at the veterinary hospital that I worked with. I was the personal assistant/accountant for the hospital for over 20 years. I have learned about what types of medicine would be used for simple medical issues, what types of food for each type of nutritional need, condition and breed. I will take a pet first aid class to refresh my skills. I also have a sixth sense with animals if something is wrong or unusual. I will then contact you to make sure that you are aware as well. Good communication between the pet sitter and owner is very important. I will make sure there is fresh water always and a clean bowl. Exercise is important and play time to keep pets strong and healthy and preventing boredom. I also will keep up on medication with your instructions.
“Reyna is a fantastic 5-star sitter! Our energetic, 11-week old American Bully puppy, Ash, isn’t completely vaccinated yet, which is why we were in search of an in-home pet sitter. Caring for Ash is no small task as he’s also being potty trained but Reyna went above and beyond every single day. From the moment she walked in our home, it was evident she understood puppies. She got down on the living room floor to be at his level and started playing with him. He instantly took a liking to her as he rapidly wagged his tail and gave her snuggles. We were so impressed by the honesty in her profile, where she says her love for animals is what sets her apart as we can say without a doubt that it’s 100% true! From the moment she met Ash, her patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for him shone through instantly. Ash was happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored when we arrived from work each day, which says everything about the level of care he received. We were amazed at how well Reyna managed his boundless energy, kept his feeding and potty routine on track by journaling each event, and still gave him plenty of love and playtime. Reyna even took extra time to work on his crate training and manners, thoughtfully reinforcing the routines and lessons we’ve been teaching him. It’s rare to find someone who cares for your pet as if they were their own and even rarer to fully trust someone in your home but Reyna truly earned that trust. We felt complete confidence leaving Ash in her care while we were at work. Every time we texted to check in, she replied right away with the sweetest updates that instantly warmed our hearts and reassured us that Ash was truly in the best care. We’ll absolutely be booking Reyna again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring in-home pet sitter, no need to scroll further as a Reyna is truly awesome!!!”

Tamera was wonderful! She was amazing with our senior dog; she followed the schedule and followed all the instructions. She was so kind to our pup, loving and patient with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stockton on Rover is $80.12 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stockton. 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 Stockton 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 Stockton 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 Stockton 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 Stockton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
