“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!!”
“Patty was amazing! She sent photos throughout the stay and text back wight away when we messaged or had any questions. My home was clean if not cleaner than when we left it. My VERY anxious dog who is timid of everyone was ready to jump in her car when she was leaving. Thank you Patty for taking care of our babies and our home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 also have a spare room dedicated to crate training and wind down time if requested.
“Tania was so helpful with my two dogs! After a tough day at the vet, we were nervous to leave our senior dogs but I knew they were in great hands. She fed them, played with them & gave them all the pills they require. She stayed overnight at the house and gave great updates. Our dogs were well taken care of, as was our home!”
“I love her!! Will book again. My crazy dog went running while she was on an overnight and Arianna went chasing him & texted me right away. I felt awful and am super grateful she was willing to be so caring.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes through pet sitting for family members and friends. I’ve looked after large breeds like German Shepherds, medium breeds like Golden Doodles, and small breeds like Pugs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I have also house sat for family members and friends, keeping their homes clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive care. I will be starting nursing school soon, but my schedule still allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can give pets a bathroom break before leaving around 6:40 a.m., return around 12:30 p.m. for another potty break and check-in, and then be back after 3:00 p.m. From that point on, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention as needed for the rest of the day. I am committed to following your pet’s routine and will complete all care instructions and household tasks before leaving. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In my client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any other specific requests. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, taking out the trash, and making sure the home is secure before I leave. I communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Visalia
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 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.
Patty did an amazing job taking care of our two 5 yr old Boxer’s and home for 8 days while we were in Hawaii. She sent daily pics/video updates, followed their eating/sleeping/walk schedule and truly gave us peace of mind. We had no guilt or worry while we were gone which is super important to us. Our home was left pristine, she washed the sheets and left everything clean including the dog’s bathroom area. We greatly appreciate Miss Patty and recommend her to everyone esp in the Kingsburg area! Thanks again!
Jaime was housesitting for my 12 lb dog. She was here much of the day and all night. She tried walking Ginger but Ginger was a little stubborn. Hopefully, better luck next time. She left my home in good condition after a week and appears they played a lot with her toys. She also did a couple of extra things in the yard for me. I will definitely touch base with her in future

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Visalia on Rover is $48.84 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 224 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 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 Visalia. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
