“This is the second time Aarón has taken care of my home and my fur babies. He is reliable and my pets really like him. He always sends pictures and communicates very well with me easing my mind when I have to be away from home and my dogs and cats.”

“Leslie was just what I was looking for to help me with my anxious dog as I went away for the weekend. She is very easy to communicate with and responsive. She was great about arrival and departure times and kept my dog and my house safe. My dog was definitely less stressed when I got home compared to drop in visits which we have done in the past. I will use her again for sure.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
“We love, Marissa! This was our second time having her stay at our home with our 2 dogs and cat. She did a great job keeping us informed, sending pictures and building trust with our newly adopted dog. Marissa spoiled our fur babies and even gave them baths! She is great and truly has a love for animals ❤️”

“Absolutely fantastic. She was prompt and friendly during the booking process and great with our pup. Beth kept us updated on our pup daily which I didn’t think I would need but really appreciated it. I will most definitely book with Beth again.”


About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets.

I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Petey and Lola had a great time with Daisy. She sent me pictures and videos of them everyday. I could tell how much the dog loved her, because even though he was happy I was home, he was sad to see her go. Daisy was also super respectful of my home. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Ashanti did an amazing job house sitting for us. She went above and beyond caring for all our babies and the house! We highly recommend her services! She really truly loves animals and made sure our doggie had lots of love and playtime!”

“Chelsea was very responsive and sent wonderful pictures and videos. Our cat, which warms up to no one. Feel completely in with Chelsea. I highly recommend her ace will be reaching out again when future needs arise”

“We really liked Katie and our dog, Skyy, seemed to like her too. During our first meeting, she was friendly, engaged and asked the right questions. Before and while house/dog sitting for us, she was communicative which gives owners confidence. And during her stay, she sent us pictures of Skyy. She is a bright young lady and we felt the house and dog were in good hands!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and at this moment I have 2 friendly dogs; a 13 year old terrier mix and a 2 year old mini pitcher. I have a quiet clean (not scrubbed just cozy) home. Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.

“Cyndi was an amazing sitter for our Sprinkles. We came home to her being as happy and cared for as if we were at home with her the whole time. She kept us up to date with pictures and check-ins and we felt comfortable with our time away. I highly recommend her for bookings and look forward to booking with her in the future.”

About: I’ve always owned dogs and cats and I’ve always been an animal lover. My mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said that I want to play the piano for puppies. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I applied myself and went to school to become a Veterinary Assistant. And yes; I bathe my cat before applying flea meditation. Need a weekend getaway or a date night. I’m available on the week days. I am looking for a second job and with my experience this seems like a perfect fit for me. I will follow guidelines/standards set by you! Also, your animal can tell me the when, where, and for how long we should eat, sleep, play, walk, ect.
About: I have 1 medium dog Preslie, a fully fenced yard and love to play with other animal friends. I know the pull that happens when you go away from your pet and put them into the hands of someone else. Pictures will be taken regularly, video by request of our time together. I'm more than happy to accommodate most requests to ensure that you're pet is well taken care of. I work full time but have evenings and weekends free. I am dependable and love animals of all kinds so spending my free time with them would be a pleasure. I have a fully fenced yard that they can lounge out on the turf or under the covered patio. Plenty of indoor space if they prefer to be indoors versus outdoors. Quiet neighborhood that we can go for walks around.

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 and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. 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!
“Leah was great with my girls, they tend to be a bit anxious whenever I go away and she gave them exactly what they needed. She worked with my travel schedule to make sure they weren’t home for long stretches by themselves. Would definitely use again!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in West Modesto is $50

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Modesto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Modesto on Rover is $38.43 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 454 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 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.

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.
