“Max was amazing with photo updates and text messages throughout our 5 day away vacation. We could tell our dog and cat were calm and happy due to his attentive care. He was prompt in arriving which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and have already booked him for our next away trip!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Maryann! She took such great care of Lucca and treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!”

“Alyssa was great house sitting with our dog. She was easy to contact and would send us daily video updates. We will definitely be going to Alyssa again when we need someone to watch Tyson!!”


“We used Rover for the first time and couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our pet sitter arrived on time and did an excellent job following all of our instructions, including giving Manny his medication and bringing in the mail. She stayed for four days and went above and beyond by stripping the beds and cleaning up after herself before leaving. What impressed us most was how well she interacted with both of our pets, especially since neither of them is particularly friendly with strangers. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again. She made our first experience with Rover a great one!”

About: Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m 19 and I’m ready to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and entertained under my care! I have had pets of my own since I was young and love animals. I am most experienced in cat and dog care (all ages), but can care for smaller animals as well! I am always ready and willing to learn your pet’s exact needs and wants in order to fulfill them. Though I have my own pets I am well experienced in taking care of other people’s as well! I have been providing pet and house care services for friends and family since my pre teen years- it’s something I’m passionate about! Thank you for reading and I hope to care for your fur baby soon! :) I just graduated (class of 2025) and am looking forward to making this my part time job during this gap year, and hopefully in the long run! I love animals/pets and helping others, and am ready to dedicate my time to this important work for you and your pets included! I am prepared to learn your pets needs no matter how simple or complex they are- my top concern is your pets happiness and health! I promise any instructions discussed and or left for your pets and home will be followed to a T! This includes pets who are particular about how things are done, such as walks, meal time, Potty breaks, and etc (such as my own pets are- lol!) I understand that being welcomed into somebody’s home and taking care of their fur babies is a privilege.
About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. What better way to spend it than to be playing and caring for your pets while you are gone. I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

About: I've always loved animals as a kid especially cats since I have 2 of my own. I enjoy going out on walks and runs for really energetic animals and also enjoy making sure their needs are always met. I always enjoy having an animal by my side. I'm available anytime on a Mon/Wed/Fri schedule as I attend school Tue/Thu. I'm also sometimes available on weekends I would just need to know in advance. I have two cats and they are very shy around other animals they are more on the reserved side. I have a medium sized patio and live next to a park which is animal friendly. When I'm at a client's house I would usually do as I'm instructed to and look out for animals' social cues to have a clue on how they are feeling.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat she is very important to me. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I absolutely love animals and will treat your babies like my own while you’re away. I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care don’t scare me! My biggest goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re doing great. Also, I’m a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, I’m happy to check in as often as your pet needs. Need a late-night or even 2 AM potty break? I got you! Weekends are even better because I’m available all day to give your babies plenty of attention, walks, and love. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that makes them comfortable. I’m very patient with anxious, senior, and special needs pets, and I’ll never force interaction if they need space. Most importantly, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!
“Paige is by far one of the best sitters that we've had from Rover. She was not only very communicative, she was accommodating and fast to respond. She went the extra mile to not only contact me as soon as I sent a request, but to also set aside time to come to the house and spend an hour or so with our animals. In addition to watching our pets, she ensured that any packages that arrived were taken in right away. She managed any minor house things that came up and was very open to asking questions. On top of all of this, she was very communicative of her own schedule and kept us in the loop any time she had to leave the house unexpectedly for work/college activities; primarily to ensure that it was alright leaving our babies for any particular length of time. Guaranteed we will be booking Paige again any time we need someone to housesit and take care of our pets. She was well worth it.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Modesto
Literally could NOT have asked for a better dog sitter for our 3 girls. Chelsea watched our pups when we were in LA and was not only communicative, attentive and extremely affectionate towards our girls, but also has a great attitude and is altogether really cool. Another plus: one of our dogs didn't take that well to our last sitter, but she absolutely loved Chelsea from the moment we had the meet and greet. She even loved on our kitties and sent pictures of them, which wasn't even part of the Rover request. Without hesitation will hire her and only her for now on 😊

Barbara was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs! She kept in constant communication with us while we were away and made us feel so at ease. She asks great questions to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of and comfortable. I would have her stay with them in an instant and look forward to having her back. Thank you for being so wonderful, Barbara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Modesto is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $68 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 419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Modesto. 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 West Modesto 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 West Modesto 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 West Modesto 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.
