“Ashlee is the best! I am beyond happy and satisfied with my experience. Let me start with, I was very hesitant about using Rover, but meeting Ashlee and the relationship she had with my fur babies put my mind at ease. I will use her from now on and refer to my friends and family. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which I loved. She noticed my girl needed her donut to stop licking her paws. Coming home and seeing how well they were taken care of is the best and stress-free.”
About: I am a registered nurse working mostly night shifts. That means I'm off during the day! I can do overnights if needed. It also means I know how to handle dirty situations. I'd love to walk your furry dog. I grew up with two to three dogs in the house. I do not have a dog here in California so i'm missing hanging out with dogs! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. Let me take care of your animal while at work, on vacation, or otherwise. Im super responsible, punctual, and have reliable transportation. I can take the dog on a hike, crab digging on the beach, or an easy walk in the neighborhood. Let me know the dog needs and i'll be right there! I work three 12 hour night shifts a week, mostly open to walks on my days off. My schedule rotates every other weekend but can be more flexible. I take care of your pet as my own. I understand the love and care that each dog deserves and that they are part of the family!
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Rebecca was really good with our dog, took her for many walks, sent lots of photos daily, extremely friendly, capable, knowledgeable and left the house spotless. We would definitely engage Rebecca again.”

About: 🐾 TYLER'S PET BOARDING - ABOUT MY CARE I've loved dogs my whole life, and opening my home to care for them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my week.

I have three friendly pugs at home and experience caring for small, medium and select large dogs. 🛡️ SAFETY & STRUCTURE I introduce dogs slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and separate dogs when needed. Feeding is done separately to help prevent food guarding, upset stomachs, or accidental sharing. 🐶⭐️ BEST FIT For boarding in my home, I'm best suited for small to medium dogs and select larger dogs only when the fit is right. For larger dogs I am also happy to provide house sitting, drop-ins, or care in the owner's home. 💤🌙 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS My home is kept comfortable year round so every pet can relax and sleep comfortably. Dogs can sleep in their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area based on their routine and habits. 📸 Communication & Updates I send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Ask me about professional photo magnets of your dog, a nice keepsake from their stay. 🐶🤝Meet & Greets Held at my home in Lathrop by appointment, preferably mornings or late evenings. 🌅🚗🌙Drop-Off & Pickup My preferred drop-off and pickup windows are 8:00–10:00 AM or 8:00–10:00 PM.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stockton
We had a wonderful experience with Juliana, our dog sitter! She kept us updated throughout our time away and sent lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!
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. She sent pictures and kept me in the loop with how things were going. Tamera went above and beyond, would recommend without hesitation.
Wonderful experience! Elizabeth was very sweet with our dogs! They seemed to love her! She was very communicative and followed our requests and asked great questions! And I love all the pics and the video we received! She also left a lovely card in our screen for when we got home! Thank you Elizabeth! We will definitely be booking again!
Our first booking with Gabriella was for nearly a week and I returned home to two very happy buddies! I could see that they were well cared for and my home was too. She is communicative and sent photos and messages as needed. I would recommend her and will hopefully be having her back.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stockton
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.
