“Patty is amazing! She took care of our boys over thanksgiving weekend, sent photos daily and responded quickly when I would message. This is our second time booking with her and we will continue booking for as long as she’ll have us.”
“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”
“Azrael was great! She stayed with our dog for several days while we were out of town. She provided us with updates on how he was doing. She helped administer medication and followed our instructions perfectly! Would definitely hire her again.”
“Daniel was a great sitter for my house and dogs while I was away. When I got home, one of my dogs didn’t want him to leave so I think they had a wonderful time. Would recommend his services to anyone in need.”
“This was our first try with Aubrey and what a remarkable young woman! She paid attention to every detail that we had discussed and had written down, perfectly. She was meticulous in keeping things as they were when she arrived (a much appreciated effort). She stayed with our pups essentially the whole time we were gone, which was fantastic as it gave them plenty of time to become familiar with her and also also eased our minds. We have elderly pups and she did a wonderful job of cuddling and loving on them! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her and I plan on using her many more times.”
“Tania was an exceptional Rover and did an amazing job with our girls! We got updates for walks and meals every day with pictures. She kept our house clean and even picked up the dog poop in the backyard. We will definitely be using her for all of our future Rover activities l if she’ll have us 👍🏼”
“Kaitlyn was on time, let me know how our dog was doing when she got there and sent us a full report when she was done which included some very cute pictures. As first time dog owners we were nervous about leaving her for this long and having someone come over but Kaitlyn put our minds at ease. I’ve already booked her for another drop in.”
“I had an amazing experience with Kailyn K. during her house sitting service from May 5 to May 7, 2026. She was fantastic with my dog, providing loving care and attention. Kailyn kept me updated with regular messages and cute photos, which really eased my mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and happy. I highly recommend Kailyn for anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
About: Our three senior dogs have recently passed away and we are looking to share our love for animals by offering pet services to the Tulare area. We have taken care of high-maintenance small/medium sized dogs with health issues for 15+ years. We are also familiar with giving medication and injections. We are currently working full-time Monday through Friday, but we have the ability to come home for potty breaks or medication every 2-4 hours if needed for your pet. We have a fenced-in backyard with a pool that is also fenced-in, so your pups will be secure. We have doggy gates throughout our house to block your little furry babies from roaming into certain areas or to keep away from other pets that may be present. We currently do not have any indoor pets.
“We are thrilled with the amazing job Frankie did while taking care of our dog, Mochi. From the moment we met Frankie, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. Throughout the entire time, she was incredibly caring and attentive to Mochi’s needs. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Mochi was in good hands. Mochi absolutely loved her, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate puppy sitter. Thank you, Frankie, for your outstanding service!”
About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.

I am always looking for more new fur friends to love! I have 4 dogs and many cats of my own. I also Foster kitties. They are truly a member of the family. I will provide honest, reliable, and professional pet sitting . I can administer meds including shots. I am patient with the shy pets and my calm demeanor will help them eventually be comfortable with me. With 20 years of pet sitting experience, I can truly say that I will provide awesome Care for your pet. Thank you Pet sitting is my full time business. I will be available to love your furry family member when needed. They will get lots of love. I will make sure your pet is safe in my care. I check Gates before I let them out in the yard. I will be aware of all the surroundings and keep my eyes on the pets at all time.
About: I’ve had animals all my life! I love all kinds of dogs especially pittys & goldens! We currently have a golden German shepherd mix name Liberty, a pure bred golden named Rosie, a kitty named Cleocatra, a bird and 3 beta fish. We are an animal loving family. As a single Mom of 6, I started Rover to help supplement income in hopes to help make ends meet. I am a full time college student as well as a full time employee for VUSD. I will always ensure that gate and doors are closed so that the animals cannot get outside. Our pets are always on a harness and leash when outside.
“We are so happy to have found David to care for our animals on our week long trip! It was our first time using Rover and we have 6 indoor animals so it’s a lot. David stayed at our house with them and took great care of the animals and our home. We felt totally confident in our animals being cared for while we were away for so long. Thankful to have a great reliable animal sitter in our lives now!”
“Abby was great! We had her watch our dogs in our home for the weekend (2 nights). She communicated well, and took great care of our 3 dogs. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Vanessa did an excellent job with my two dogs. She was able to help with their manner issues and I was very pleased. I would certainly request her for my next trip. The dogs were very happy with her also.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs ever since I was a kid. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and care for their animals. I currently work part-time so I’m available to care for your animal(s) whenever is needed. I love making sure they have a positive experience with me and their needs are cared for. I have a friendly dog that will keep your pet company. I can put my dog or your pet in a crate if necessary. I provide a safe and clean environment with plenty of toys. My dog and I also are always outside going on walks and playing at the park.
About: As a professional dog bather, I spend my days ensuring dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments feel clean, comfortable, and safe. My daily work gives me hands-on experience handling different coat types, reading canine body language, and keeping pets calm during routine care. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two rescue-level personality powerhouses—a high-energy Black Lab and a strong, affectionate Cane Corso/American Bully mix. Living with and caring for both friendly, active pups and powerful, large breeds means I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of any strength, energy level, or size. Whether your dog needs an engaging, controlled walk or attentive in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for. As a professional dog bather, my daily work centers on reading animal body language, handling pets of all sizes, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal in my care. My life at home is just as pet-focused: I manage a vibrant household with two large, energetic dogs—a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/American Bully mix—and five cats. Living with five felines and two powerful dog breeds gives me hands-on, daily experience with everything from high-energy walks and large-breed handling to subtle cat behavior, multi-pet routines, and meticulous home safety. Whether your pets need an active, controlled walk or attentive, low-stress in-home sitting, I bring professional handling skills, deep patience, and true everyday multi-pet experience to every visit. Care in My Home (Apartment Living) Structured Outdoor Time & Frequent Breaks: Living in an apartment means outdoor time is always active and intentional. I take dogs out frequently throughout the day for structured, leash-guided walks and bathroom breaks to keep them exercised, happy, and comfortable. Crate-Trained & Calming Environment: As a multi-pet owner (including a Black Lab and a Cane Corso/Bully mix), my home is built on clear routines and safety. My own dogs are well-trained and crate-trained. Crate training allows for safe, stress-free boundaries, individualized downtime, and secure separation whenever needed (e.g., during feeding times or quiet rest). Indoor Enrichment & Constant Supervision: Because apartment space is defined, pets in my care receive close, direct supervision, interactive indoor play, and dedicated individual attention rather than being left unattended in a yard. Maintaining Familiar Routines: I strictly mirror your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules so your pets feel completely secure in their familiar environment. Low-Stress Handling & Body Language Expertise: Drawing on my professional bathing background, I monitor pets for subtle signs of stress or discomfort, ensuring low-stress interactions—whether that means gentle companionship for sensitive cats or structured leash control for energetic dogs. Multi-Pet Home Management: I am thoroughly experienced in managing multi-pet households safely, keeping dogs and cats on their respective feeding and play routines while ensuring entryways and doors remain strictly secure. Cleanliness & Respect for Your Space: I leave your home exactly as I found it—handling litter box maintenance, wiping muddy paws after walks, cleaning feeding areas, and keeping your pets safe and comfortable while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years. I have two dogs, a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Maltese. They showed me responsibility and patience. I have a flexible schedule. I am available at any time of the week, given I have a lot of free time. I can watch your pet as early as seven am. I will hang out with them if they want to relax or sleep. I’ll be delighted to keep them entertained if they want to play. I also will make sure they won’t break anything when I’m caring for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tulare on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tulare. 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 Tulare 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 Tulare 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 Tulare 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 Tulare. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
