“Had a great experience with Patty watching our kittens for the weekend! Such a kind personality and our cats warmed up to her immediately! Came back to happy and healthy cats- thank you!!”
“Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!”
“David was friendly, reliable, and very warm and affectionate with our dog Oscar. He clearly enjoys animals, and Oscar seems to have had a really good time on his drop-in. We'd recommend David and would love to book again in the future. :)”
“This was our fist time using Rover, and I didn’t really know what to expect, but Brittany went above and beyond when taking care of our pets. Every day she visited, she truly spent quality time with our pets, making the most of her visit and being sure to leave a special note on how they were doing and send us lots of pictures. I am so appreciate of her kindness and love for animals. Thank you so much Brittany! 😊”
“Arianna was a great communicator and did an amazing job with our two cats! She shared not only photos but videos with us and kept us up to date with how they were doing. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“My dog, Mika, loved Frankie. I had left to travel out of country for a little over a week and my greeting was not nearly as big after she visited. I was bummed but it spoke a lot about her interactions with Mika. Happy puppy, happy mom!”
“Rebecca was awesome! I needed someone at last minute to come by and feed my two cats while I was out of town and Rebecca came through. I had very detailed instructions for each cat that Rebecca followed to a “T.” Rebecca was very flexible with my schedule. I will definitely be using her services in the future!!! Thank you, Rebecca!!!”
About: I’ve had every pet you can possibly imagine and I’ve taken care of them with all my love and knowledge! As a kid I wasn’t allowed to have cats or dogs as we lived in a small apartment. So I had hermit crabs, hamsters, turtles and fishes. At age 15 I got my first cat and now I’m a proud cat owner of 5! 2 of them live with me and the other 3 stayed with my mom when I moved out 2 years ago. But I still make time to visit them often. I also have a 1 year old puppy who I love very much. I also had a Veiled Chameleon who I had for almost 4 years. She past away last April but she lived her full life expectancy and had an enriching life. Im able to give oral medications, potty breaks, walks, play time, and cuddles. I work a 4/10/40 scheduled which is 10 hour days, 4 days a week, 40 hours total. I work 3 days in the office and 1 day from home and I am off Friday through Sunday. I have 2 loving fixed inside females cats and a 1 year old crate trained puppy who is also fixed. They are very loving of other animals and mostly just curious. They are all vaccinated as well.
“Anessa is a fantastic pet sitter! I needed last minute pet care and she was there instantly. We met to walk through my dog’s routine and she was so kind and sweet to my dog and I. I can tell that she loves animals and treats them with love and care. She would update me constantly when something came up or if it involved my dog. She responds very quick which I really appreciated. I would definitely hire her again for any pet sitting needs. It felt like a friend was watching my dog for me.”
“Making herself available for me, helping me so much dealing with my newly diagnosed diabetic cat. So patient with teaching me how to give the insulin injections, while I attempt to gain the confidence to do it myself.”
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and have experience with both dogs and cats. I enjoy caring for and interacting with animals of all kinds. We are available during weekdays before and after the school day, and most weekends as needed. We are looking to build pet sitting and friendships with animals within our neighborhood. We are happy to travel to pets in your home to care for them while you are in need. We love our community and want to work within our neighborhood.
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life, but I’ve been doing it professionally for over 5 years. I’m currently in a Vet Tech/Assistant program, so I have the training to handle everything from walks and grooming to giving medicine to diabetic or senior pets. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, or small mammals, I’m comfortable, educated, and ready to treat your pets like my own I do work as a youth service partner with adopted kids, but that position is intermittent, so I have flexibility and dedication to provide care for your pets. I will provide reliable, safe, loving care in your home. I will strictly follow all routines to make sure your pets stay happy and secure.
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.

Kailyn did a great job watching our cat while we were away! She was very responsive, sent us pictures and updates during each visit, and took care of everything exactly as we asked. We also really appreciated that she left our house clean and tidy. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands, and we would definitely book with her again!
Patty was amazing! I reached out to her just over a week before my trip and she was very quick to respond. We scheduled an in-person meet and greet and she was on board to take care of my cat. During the 11 days of my booking, Patty was either always on time or early, sent me tons of pictures of my cat, changed his litter, and made sure the food/water levels weren’t running too low. Very responsive if I had any questions/concerns. I’ve used other cat sitters before but my cat has never warmed up to anyone as easily as he did with Patty. I will be referring Patty to all my friends/family/neighbours/colleagues who need a reliable and dependable cat sitter and will personally only be rebooking with Patty in the future.
This was our third time booking with Vanessa, and we couldn't be happier. Our cat absolutely adores her, and seeing how well she treats our 'little man' gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled, and her 100% professional approach makes the whole process seamless. We trust her implicitly with our little dude!
Diana was so great with my senior husky. I had a short notice request to drop in and check on my husky while I was going to out for the day. It was a great comfort knowing Cali was in caring and experienced hands. Diana also sent great updates and I’d highly recommend her to care for anyone’s fur babies.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Visalia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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
- 90% 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.
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.
