“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!!”
“We had never used Rover before, so we were a little skeptical. We were fortunate enough to find Susie. She came to the house a couple days before to meet us, the pups and get instructions. While we were away, she sent up updates and pictures of our pups, I could not have been happier. I know our pups were happy because they were very tired when we got home. Thank you, Susie, for everything.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There is no one I trust more with my dogs. My dogs are not “just pets” to me, they are my family. So when I say that I trust her completely with them, that means everything. She has cared for my dogs countless times, and the love she has for them is so genuine. She knows their personalities, their routines, their little quirks, and what makes each of them feel safe and loved. They absolutely adore her, and seeing how excited and comfortable they are with her gives me a level of peace of mind that is honestly priceless. What makes her special isn’t simply that she is reliable, responsible, and attentive…although she is all of those things. It’s that she has a genuinely kind heart and treats my dogs as if they were her own. I never have to wonder whether they are getting enough attention, affection, or care. I know they are loved when I’m not there. Finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust with the animals you love is incredibly rare. I feel genuinely lucky to have found that person in her. If you’re looking through Rover wondering who you can trust with your own four-legged family members, this is the person I would choose every single time. I cannot recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾”
“Vanessa was great. My dogs took to her immediately. She was responsive and sent pictures daily (because I’m a paranoid dog parent) and even came back by and checked on them when my flight home was delayed. She’s wonderful and I’ll be booking her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
“Madison is the most wonderful pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job. We were gone for two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and cat. The loving care was outstanding & gave us peace of mind we were on vacation. Thank you!”

From raising my own dogs to pet sitting for family and friends, I've always enjoyed giving dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

I do have young children who love animals and have been taught to be gentle and respectful around them. For everyone's safety, all interactions between children and pets are closely supervised, and I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a family environment.

When we travel, I have peace of mind knowing my Shetland Sheepdog, Jeffrey, is in the best hands with Patty. My fur baby is very attached to me, but Patty follows Jeffrey’s routine and treats him like one of her own. My baby loves her so much and that makes me feel so good knowing he is being loved on while I am away. Thank you Patty.

Daniel took excellent care of my dog while we were out of town. It was the first time we’d ever left her with someone else, so we were understandably nervous, but he made the entire experience stress-free. He was very responsive whenever I texted him, followed all of my instructions carefully, and was incredibly attentive and caring with my dog. What really stood out was that he took the time to meet her before we left, simply to make sure we were both comfortable with him and to help build trust. That extra effort meant a lot and gave us real peace of mind. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Daniel with my dog again, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.
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!
We are so grateful for Vanessa's help pet and house sitting for us while we were out of the state! Everything went great and Vanessa kept us well informed with updates and photos throughout our time away. We appreciate her transparency and all the love she gave to our pups during their visit. They enjoyed walks and playtime, punctual meals / meds and a few treats, and some good cuddles---exactly what they needed! We highly recommend Vanessa to other pet parents and will look forward to booking with her again in the future.
Our experience with Rebecca was excellent from start to finish. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for our three dogs—Enzo, Brody, and Bella—as if they were her own. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which helped us feel confident and at ease while we were away. She was also flexible and accommodating when our return was delayed, which we truly valued. Her communication and care made the entire process seamless and worry-free. We would not hesitate to book Rebecca again and highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Visalia is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Visalia. 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 Visalia 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 Visalia 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 Visalia 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
