“Caleb was wonderful with our cat while we were out of town. He was very easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures. You can tell he loves animals and took great care of all our cat’s needs. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs!”
“Jessie is the best! My cat can be very anxious around new people, but Jessie made it so easy for my senior cat (14 years old) to come to her and made her feel very comfortable. Plus, Jessie is very respectful of my home and my privacy. I appreciate her professional cat-sitting services. I already have Jessie booked for future services. :)”
“Thank you so much you did an amazing job taking care of our Colt. She even made an extra trip to check on him during the fireworks. I really appreciate it and I will definitely book you next time we have a trip.”
“Sarah was amazing with our 2 high energy dogs! This was our first time using Rover and she made it a great experience. Was great at sending us updates. And she even would check in on my cat even though she didn’t have to. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds over the years and genuinely love being around animals. I’m a stay-at-home wife, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own—whether that’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I am unable to do overnight stays, but I’m a stay-at-home wife, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. This allows me to give your pet consistent attention and stick closely to their routine. I also have a Labrador Retriever, so I’m very used to daily exercise, structure, and giving pets the time and care they need. I provide a calm, safe environment and always respect your home and your pet’s space. I have a Labrador Retriever, so I’m experienced with handling energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities. I’m attentive whether your pet is playful, shy, or independent, and I’ll follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and care. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Lisa was absolutely perfect when watching my new baby. She followed instructions very well, sent lots of photos and videos and even cleaned up after my girl when she had accidents in her crate. Lisa also gave me some awesome tips on caring not only for my girl dog but also my senior boy. Definitely will be booking her again when needed!”
“Mariah was GREAT! She watched our cats while we took a holiday trip this Thanksgiving and she was very attentive, caring, kind, and even sent us photos of our babies while we were gone! It was so reassuring knowing they were in such great hands! She is an animal lover who is currently studying to work with animals as well! We loved her care so much that we booked her for another vacation where we will be out of town! She will treat your pets the way you would treat them, it comes very natural to her!”
“Laura & Ryan were amazing! They responded quickly and were able to help me out super last minute. They kept me updated, provided pictures during the visit, and made the whole process stress-free. I really appreciated the communication and care they gave Dino. Definitely recommend and would book with them again!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school and want to help more people around my neighborhood and other communities with dog care. I’ve helped with a handful of different types of dogs and aside from dog care love helping out however I can. I’m currently working part time as security for special events. I am also enrolled in college online, but would like to take advantage of my free time helping others. I have a fenced yard and a dog husky mix of my own but she is extremely friendly even towards puppies, playful, or dogs that can be aggressive sometimes. I also have a garage in my backyard thats been converted to a room for me and the dogs I watch overnight or on weekends for friends or family. Aside from somewhere comfortable to sleep I make sure the dogs go on walks, get play time in the yard, and are hydrated/fed. I also have an excessive amount of toys for each dog to choose from during their stay along with a large crate in the yard that can also be moved into the back room for dogs that need to be crated.
“Alyssa was fantastic with our fur-babies! We ended up with some special needs that she went above and beyond handling. She was very flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend her and will be booking her again in the future.”
“Andrea thoroughly updated me on her visits with Scarlet. I'm so grateful that she was available to give my baby girl loving and brushes while I was out of town. Scarlet (who doesn't like most people) really seemed to like her. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again. Thank you!!”
“Joanna was the best possible choice we could have made. When things fell through for a sitter right before our big family road trip she came to the rescue and helped us out so much. She loved our doggos just like they were her own and treated them just as good, if not a little better due to all the walks, then we would have! Definitely our go to for the next time we need a little help”
About: I have experiences with a wide variety of animals; dogs, cats, chickens etc. No matter the kind all deserve to be treated with love, care and dignity. I believe in respecting the wants and cares of whomever would allow me the pleasure to serve as their furbabies caretaker. I am currently working part time so I am available for walks and pet play dates anytime during the week day other than on Sunday's. I can meet what ever preferences your pet has for play time either within the home or the yard. Whether your baby just wants pets or wants to be active I can be the friend they need.
“Amazing care for my cats! Cleaned up after them and changed everything that needed to be changed. Very attentive, professional and easy to work with! Will definitely be booking again, highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
This is the second year in a row that I used Amber to watch my dog. She was required to come to my house three times a day to give medications and feedings. She arrived as scheduled and spent the time playing with my dog. She provided pictures and videos of each visit. I could tell that she genuinely loves animals and is very conscientious about her taking care of animals trusted to her care! I will continue to use Amber in the future and highly recommend her to other pet owners looking for a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Apple Valley on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apple Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
