Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have always been interested in becoming a veterinarian. I currently care for my three dogs, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily exercise, and basic training. I’ve taught two of my dogs commands like sit and spin, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I am available on weekends and during evenings, and I have flexible availability until I begin my new job. I am reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I offer services such as dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. During my visits, I make sure pets are well cared for by providing fresh food and water, cleaning bowls, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable and safe. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they are always supervised and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention as my own fur babies.

About: I am a fun, loving, outgoing individual that understands the needs of your furbaby. I have taken care of cats and dogs, puppies and kittens since I was 7 years old. I have trained my dad's Saint Bernard, and my own pitbull, and shitzhu so size does not matter. I am great with both cats and dogs. Both my cats and dogs get along with each other and we are all a happy loving family. I have some dog training videos of myself on Instagram where Oprah Winfrey's dog trainer liked a few of my videos. My neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I have fun with fur babies while maintaining a professional mannerism and a good example for all to benefit from my services. Having 3 cats and 2 dogs pet care is my life, I dont have any children so pets are my children. Pet care comes first in my house, so pet care is a huge part in my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced yard with 2 large friendly dogs and 1 friendly little dog, so there is a perfect size buddy for your companion. I also have 2 cats and one small kitten. I feed my dogs only the best grain free food and treats and I have plenty of toys and games for the dogs to play. I feed the cats a different food than the kitten since the kitten needs special nourishment to grow. I take the dogs on a walk in the many acres of grape fields that reside across the street. The dogs are pack animals and they look to the alpha for protection and leading, I know how to fulfill and give dogs the enrichment they need. I understand the needs of dogs and cats very well and I am confident and trustworthy of every breed size and characteristic your fur baby may have. I have alot of energy and I love to be outdoors. My cats are strictly inside cats but I am working on making an outside cat enclosure so they can enjoy the outside in a safe manner.

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

In my care your pet will be throughly loved and cared for. As of right now I am free any day of the week. I am more then willing to do holidays as well as weekends.

I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. My home is spacious, cozy, and fully pet-friendly! I have plenty of toys, treats, bones, and comfy spots for pets to relax and play. While I don’t have a yard, I’m close to several beautiful dog parks and walking trails here in Clovis—perfect for daily walks and exercise. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of providing daily exercise, feeding, grooming, companionship, and recognizing their individual needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I've had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been part of my day. I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for is something I genuinely enjoy. I am reliable, organized, and committed to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean by picking up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining their living area. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind during your time away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Valley Lake Ranchos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valley Lake Ranchos. 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 Valley Lake Ranchos 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 Valley Lake Ranchos 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 Valley Lake Ranchos 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 Valley Lake Ranchos. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
