“Nina provided attentive care to our two dogs in our home. She provided daily check-ins that gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our 8 days away. She left our house clean and the dogs extremely happy!”
“It’s always nerve wracking having someone watch your dog who has trouble with strangers, but Rachel made it stress free! She was patient and kind, which helped our dog warm up to her quickly. We can’t wait to have Rachel come again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our cat. She provided daily updates and was so sweet with him. It was amazing to know that while we were gone, he was in such good hands. 10/10 recommend :)”
“Kelsie was awesome!!! Moose loved all the attention and cuddles and he can't wait to have her stay with him again. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pics for us throughout the stay. Thanks, Kelsie for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
“Michelle took excellent care of my high-maintenance elderly baby for 3 nights. She followed his routines (directions), treat and feeding habits, his need to go potty a LOT, and kept him calm and happy. She also kept me updated while I was away and sent pictures. I didn't worry while I was gone, and my baby seemed so relaxed when I got home. She also kept my house clean, which I appreciate!! I would highly recommend Michelle!!”
About: I grew up with both cats and small/medium/large dogs. I have pet sit a couple different times outside of this app. I don’t currently have pets myself and looking for some new furry friends 😻 I currently own my own online business that allows me a lot of downtime. I’ve recently been on a fitness kick and looking to walk some pups and meet some new kitty friends! I have a small, fenced-in dog park at my apartment and easy access to large grassy areas and many walking paths. My apartment is large, spacious, and animal friendly! I have no pets myself so no distractions or issues like that. I like to run around Lebanon Hills and other parks which I’d be happy to bring a fur baby along. 🐕 I am equipped to travel to the homes of those with cats, and to you for pet sitting/dog walking.
“Ruthie was great! She came to our home to meet Moses and stayed with him for a weekend. Moses is a large golden with endless energy so we feel blessed that Ruthie was up for the gig and she sent photos and updates which was great! Highly recommend”
“Jackie took care of our dogs in our home while we were away on vacation. She was really fantastic! Our dogs were well taken care of. They got their usual exercise. Jackie sent us daily updates and pictures. She also went above and beyond having to clean up after a sick dog one evening. She left our house spotless. Thank you, Jackie! Our pooches look forward to spending more time in the future with you.”
“Anika was sweet and responsive, our cats loved her. She sent many pictures while we were away. We came home to a pristine house with the sheets in the dryer, and very happy cats. Would not hesitate to book her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Aurora! She was reliable and caring. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and we really appreciated the regular updates. We came home to everything in great shape and would happily have her sit for us again. Highly recommend!”
“Meghan was great! She sent us daily updates on our boys and even shoveled our driveway and brought the garbage up for us! We will recommend her to our friends and use her again! Thank you so much!”
“Ryan saved the day. I was nervous about traveling with a senior dog at home in less than perfect health. Ryan kept me apprised throughout the duration of my trip, and gave a level of reassurance that my dog was in good hands. No offense to my former boarding kennel, but I wish I met Ryan years ago. Thanks again!”
“Kat was simply amazing with my two golden retrievers. She was incredibly communicative and arrived with great questions about my pets. She walked them and played with them and sent me cute videos and pictures. She also knitted cute bows for their collars:) I would 100% recommend Kat and I look forward to having her take care of Jack and Boldy again soon❤️”
“Nicole spent a long weekend with Hudson. (She stepped in pretty much at the last minute when plans for his care changed the night before I was to leave town for a annual trip with friends.) She was super accomodating and took care of all of Hudson's needs (and probably then some)! I always come home to Hudson looking fantastic and in a terrific mood. Nicole is fantastic with this puppy!”
“Julia was a great fit for our dog! She was very flexible when our plans changed several times. Buddy loved her attentive, loving care while she spent the week with him at our home! We are excited to have found a great dog sitter to stay with him while we are away!”

This is the second time she’s watched Bravo and stayed at our home, and she’s been amazing both times! She takes great care of him and our home, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter! 😊
Our experience with Kaelyn was great! It had been a while since we have left the dogs with a sitter and she quickly put our mind at ease. We received plenty of pupdates letting us know things were going well and carefully followed all the care instructions. We could tell they were well taken care of while we were away. We would definitely book with Kaelyn again.
We had a wonderful experience with Aurora! She was reliable and caring. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and we really appreciated the regular updates. We came home to everything in great shape and would happily have her sit for us again. Highly recommend!
Carter was able to help out last minute when plans changed. He communicated well, fit in a meet and greet before I left, and I came home to a happy and healthy dog after my weekend away. Carter was respectful of my home, and even helped me out and watered some plants while I was gone which I appreicated.
Outstanding! Renee was thorough and loved on and spoiled our pups. They loved her. She sent pictures throughout our absence and this enabled us to truly relax knowing they were being so well cared for and loved on. We were in constant contact and that gave us peace of mind. We were so lucky to have found her!
Errin is the BEST! We are so glad we found her! She is incredibly kind, respectful, and dependable. Our little Lucy absolutely adores her and is always excited when Errin comes over. In fact, Lucy is genuinely sad to see her leave. One thing that really stands out is that Errin always leaves our house in even better condition than when she arrived. She goes above and beyond in every way. We only wish we had more reasons to have Errin come over because she is such a wonderful person. We feel very fortunate to have found her and couldn't recommend her more highly.
Sam took great care of our pups while we were out of town for five days! He sent lots of great pictures and updates to help us feel comfortable. He found ways to get our dogs exercise while also keeping them safe with the extremely hot weather. He was very reliable and we would definitely use him in the future!
We just had Ally stay for 3 nights with our 2 cats. She is a great communicator, providing updates and photos frequently. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We came home to calm kitties and a tidy house. Ally is a wonderful sitter!
Savannah was amazing! She sent pictures multiple times a day, walked the dogs, played with them, communicated regularly with me and it was great to have her hang out with Thor and Loki for a couple days. I would definitely recommend Savannah to everyone looking for someone to watch their pups. I will be reaching out for certain!
This was our second time having Missy dog sit for us, and she was fantastic. We didn’t have a single worry while we were away on vacation! She communicates well and provides timely updates, which we loved. They made us smile knowing our dog was being well cared for and having her own little vacation 😊. Would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Apple Valley is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $80 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 3,334 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apple Valley. 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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley 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.
