“Faith is incredibly accommodating and flexible! She watched my knoxie for the holidays and took last minute changes with stride! We were so lucky to have her, it makes our vacation 10x less stressful. She provided good feedback and lots of pics. I would deff book with her again!🤍 love Beth and Knox”
“Stephanie did a great job looking after our boys! She kept us in the loop at all times, she was kind and helpful, gave the boys all the exercise and affection they crave, and our dogs adore her. We will definitely rebook :-)”
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter! She clearly loves the fur babies and that is a two way street. She is timely, enthusiastic and sends the best videos and pictures. We had a couple of good sitters before Christina but when they weren't available, we had to go back to the Rover-Verse to find another one. She is the first sitter to get the fur babies to eat and handle their outdoor business consistently! We have a rescue dog as well as a cat who has recently transitioned to indoors and they both loved their time with Christina. That is a testament to her positive energy and true love for pets.”
“There are no words to rate or describe how wonderful Alivia was with Owen (16 year old dog). She arrived ahead of scheduled time and left after time allotted. She watched and kept Owen company for 3 days 8-5. They went on Adventures everyday rather than just sitting in a hotel room. The pictures she took and sent were amazing. She took Owen to an awesome pet store, had picnic and showed him the sites of Fresno. He was smiling and happy. Alivia made a horrible visit to Fresno (had trial in court) a good one and didn't have the stress of worrying about Owen. I definitely highly recommend Alivia-5++++++ stars. Thank you for your love and compassion.”
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I work full-time in healthcare, where attention to detail, responsibility and compassion are part of my everyday routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time M-F 8-5pm. I can do evening drop ins/walks by 5:30pm. Weekends are typically very open. You can rely on me on weekdays 5:30-9:30pm and weekends fully available morning-evening. I provide care in a safe, calm and structured environment during walks and drop in visits. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure while you’re away. During visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine-whether that includes feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or snuggles. I always follow owner instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet.
“Kaitlyn did amazing with my dog! We just moved to Clovis from Gilroy so my dog has had some anxiety. She was still able to get him to eat with her while I was at work. Thanks so much Kaitlyn!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid, and often pet-sit for my family and friends. I have experience with animals small and large, kittens and pups to elderly dogs, I even used to have chickens! I will be able to accommodate you and your pets needs, whether they are active, mellow, or on medication. I have plenty of time to take care of your furbabies, whether they are active or mellow, our day would suit whatever their needs may be! I have experience in taking dogs to events, farmer's markets, parks, hikes, adoption events so whether they are active and into sight seeing or just a chill day at home and around the neighborhood is perfect. Safety and trust are very important with animals, and I promise patience and care when seeing your pets. Information about their personality and behaviors will be very helpful in knowing how best to treat your furry friend.
“Chelsea was wonderful with my two dogs while we were away. She is very conscientious and the house was in perfect order when we returned. I would highly recommend Chelsea and would love to have her housesit for us again.”
“Dalene watched my 5 month old golden retriever, Walter, for a two day period and she was great. She kept my lad active and was in constant contact while I was away. Walter was very content and happy when I came home, which is a sign he had the best companionship with Dalene. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“We have 2 senior dogs and had our 3 y/o frenchie granddog that Faith cared for through the holidays. We came home to 3 well cared for pups. I will be happy to use her in the future. She is responsible and has a gentle way with the senior dogs. She comes highly recommended!”
“Fantastic experience with Shauna. She was responsive and took wonderful care of our kitten, who has a lot of energy! She played with him and put on his favorite tv shows and updated us regularly on how he was doing. We've already booked her three times!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my hands-on experience with animals in both volunteer and home settings. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. At home, I’ve also cared for five pets, so I understand the consistency, patience, attentiveness, and responsibility that come with managing multiple animals at once. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and temperament while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and given plenty of attention. I am currently working part-time in a remote position, which provides me with a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for pets. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks and potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, household instructions, and any specific care preferences provided by the owner. I also prioritize maintaining a clean, comfortable, and safe environment so pets can feel secure while their owners are away.
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my two pups and the house while I was away for a few days. My girls seemed happy when I got home and she left the house nice and clean. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“We love Grace! We’ve booked her multiple times, and she is absolutely wonderful with our fur babies. She’s always respectful of our home and takes such great care of everything. We highly recommend Grace! 🐾❤️”
“Adriana was great! She sent picture updates which was very nice. She did house sitting for us as well and we came home to a clean house and happy pups. She is very professional and followed our instructions for taking care of the dogs. One of our dogs is a senior and wears diapers so it was more than just feeding and letting them out to use the bathroom. Overall I highly recommend Adriana for dog and house sitting you won’t be disappointed!”
“Angela did a great job taking care of our three pets (2 cats, 1 dog) and house sitting during our week long vacation. One of our cats has health issues and requires medication three times daily and needs her skin cared for due to allergies and she did a great job managing all of it. We appreciated her communication and frequent updates and pictures. We came home to a clean home and happy pets! Will definitely book again and would recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I’ve house sat for my neighbors who have two dogs and a cat on multiple occasions along with taking care of family friends 3 dogs and house sat for many days on end and I loved every second of it. I am currently a college student at Fresno State University, so after I’m done with my classes I have plenty of off time to take care of pets. I have always been an animal lover and will always be gentle with any animal. I make sure that there is no way for them to run away and try to make them as comfortable as possible. I don’t like pushing animals out of their comfort zones and instead let them come to me when they are ready so they know I don’t pose a threat. I will always take care of any animal with love and affection.
“Senjai is a lovely pet sitter! Got pics and house was so clean when we got back. I messed up my original booking and ended it a day early. She caught it and reached out, and was available to stay another day!”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my little ones. All three took to her. The second meet & greet was definitely the key to her success! Thank you Sara…you are definitely on my radar for rebooking.”

Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away! She looked after our 6 month old puppy, our adult Frenchie, and our Maine Coon cat with so much care and attention. She also kept the litter box clean and made sure everyone was well cared for. She treated our home with respect and left everything clean and tidy when we returned. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in good hands. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
We usually have our family members take care of our dog when we're gone, but this time we we're going on a family vacation and we had no one that we knew who was available. We found Alexis on Rover and she had great reviews, but I was nervous since our girl will growl at strangers in our home. Alexis came to meet our pup, and after a while Elsa became comfortable with her and that put my nerves at ease. We appreciated Alexis texts/messages that kept us updated on how Elsa (and our tortoise) were doing while we were gone. I also appreciated her flexibility when we let her know that we were coming home earlier than planned. Thank you for giving us peace of mind with our animals. We would definitely recommend, and we'd hire her again when we have another trip come up!
Faith was great! However, we just moved to Clovis, so my dog has been stubborn. Faith was unable to get him out of our bedroom. She ended up cancelling that night because she was supposed to come the next day as well. I did really appreciate her honesty because she said she didn't want to get paid since she wasn't able to provide the services I needed.
Dear, dear Rita got double duty this trip. We added a second dog, who's a sweet elderly old guy with incontinence issues. Rita took it in stride, even managing to diaper the dogger successfully, which I hadn't been able to do. As always, the dogs were happy, and everything thing was taken care of. I have complete faith in her abilities, and so appreciate her!
Arianna and my dog get along so well! I am always peaceful knowing my little girl is in such good loving hands 🥰 Arianna is very communicative, reliable and trustworthy! She’s been walking my dog and house sitting for me for over a year now and have been very pleased with her services!
Joseph took good care of my two cats while I traveled out of state. I felt safe leaving them in the care of a more mature person. My home was tidy and well kept when I returned. And, he is also owned by 2 cats - that makes a big difference! Thank you, Joseph! 😽😸

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tarpey on Rover is $39.48 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 552 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarpey. 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 Tarpey 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 Tarpey 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 Tarpey 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 Tarpey. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
