“Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!”
“Courtney did a wonderful job with my two dogs. She arrived when she said she would, spent quality time playing with them and sent photos keeping me updated. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone reliable to look after their pets.”
“We were very nervous to hire anyone to stop in on our 2 dogs as they have only been cared for by family in the past. Also one is very anxious when people come over and the other is a senior with arthritis. Chris came over for a meet and greet, and we were relieved that our anxious dog warmed up to her quickly. We had Chris stop in this week and everything went great. Our dogs lived having a chance to play a bit and get an extra piddy break. Thanks to Chris we feel a bit more comfortable about having an”
“Sam was great! I needed drop ins for my little dogs while on vacation and she took great care of them. She advocated for the dogs when my house seemed a little cold, sent detailed reports and lots of photos that was much appreciated. Came home to happy pups! Would highly recommend”
“Beth has been very helpful and friendly, so nice to work with. We adopted a new dog from the Humane Society, who needs some TLC right now in her strange, new environment. Beth has been doing drop-in visits while we are at work. And our dog couldn’t be happier about that extra attention, and chance to romp in the back yard! We are very pleased to have met someone who understands, and loves dogs as much as we do. Thank you, Beth!”
“Kaelyn was great! Her availability was up to date which made hiring at the last minute easy. She played with our pets and took great care of them, I loved the photos! I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Eden was fantastic taking care of my furballs while I was gone! They loved him and came out to visit every time which is very rare for one of my kitties. I felt great relief knowing they were being taken care of everyday.”
“Lucy was wonderful as always. She was able to do a last minute check in on my pups, and they adore her. She’s wonderful at communication and is a very patient person with both dogs and me!”
About: I’ve cared for several, high-energy, hunting dogs for the past 10 years and grew up with a dog too. From puppies to adults and senior too. These are my and my husband’s babies and I will treat your pets with the same respect and care as I would my own. I work a full-time job that is three, 12-hour shifts a week and every third weekend. The days vary every week. I will be available almost all day on my free days. Every pet is different and requires different needs. I care for them individually and respectfully to make them happy and comfortable. Exercise is important too and I make sure they get their fair share of exercise too.
“Kristen is super kind and great with both of our cats! She was flexible and left great updates! Made us feel so comfortable having to leave town for an unexpected family emergency. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of my dogs and other dogs for 26 years. I love dogs. They are so happy to see us and love on us. I have not been trained but I love to train dogs. I really enjoy being a dog walker, it brings me so much joy! I would love to make dog walking my full time job! I am avaliable for daily and or weekly dog walks anytime! I can't wait! Although I would love to have dogs in my own home, I can not have animals in my home because of the condo rules and regulations. When I move into a home some day I would love to have dogs over!
About: Home full-time, active outdoors person, and love making dogs a part of my lifestyle! I have a young golden retriever who loves companions and is good with dogs of all sizes, and older one who is slightly more selective, but we stay very active! I will love your pet as my own, give them all the love, attention and activity they need. I will cater to you and your pet's needs to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I currently work remote and on my own schedule - so drop-ins and dogs walks can fit well into my flexible schedule. I rise with the sun and like to stay active during the day! Like my own. They will be well cared for, well exercised and I’ll be sure to provide interaction, play and stimulation while you are away!
About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!
“Allison has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs! One of them is very sweet great dane that is also a big baby. She does drop in visits whenever family is out of town, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing they're being loved and well cared for. She sends updates and pictures every visit, communicates incredibly well, and is flexible and easy to work with. My dogs have completely different personalities, but she knows exactly how to handle both of them and treats them like family. I'm new to Rover, but after a few weekends with Allison, I wouldn't trust anyone else. I already have her booked again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional sitter!”
About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Lucy was wonderful and did a fabulous job pet-sitting our cat Miracle! This was our first time using a pet-sitting service and we were a little nervous about it. A family member recommended Rover and once we had our Meet & Greet with Lucy, we were so relieved. She was so nice, reassuring and helpful. We really loved the visit updates and photos while we were away, and so grateful for the extra tasks she helped with also. We think Miracle was as happy to have her as we were, and we would definitely rebook with her. We highly recommend Lucy!
Claire is the best sitter! We always have a great experience! She is always reliable, followed all of the instructions we provided, and make sure our cats were well cared for while we were away. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are checked on, fed, and comfortable. We really appreciated the updates and the care they put into making sure everything was taken care of. We would definitely recommend and book again!

Tim is a contentious cat sitter. My cats look forward to getting treats and wet food when he visits. He brushes them and plays with them in addition to the liter box duties. He checks the fountain for fresh water and makes sure the auto feeder has food. He lets me know if they have left hairballs, etc. he also turns on different lights every day. I recommended him to my sister. He spends about a half hour with them each visit so all the boxes are checked.
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Erinn was able to stop by today for a last minute drop in request. She spent some time with Buddy and took him on a walk in addition to the regular duties. She is very responsible, attentive and communicates so well. We look forward to being able to have her stay with Buddy in the future since we had to cancel her weekend booking due to a medical situation for me. She was very understanding!
I just utilized Michelle for a long weekend for my Lab for x3 visits per day. She is full of great energy! When we came home my lab was happy and acted like we’d been gone for a few hours instead of days! Michelle made the separation during a trip enjoyable for everyone. I will definetly look her up for future walks and drop in visits

She was fantastic! Timely replies and so many pictures! I could tell my dogs were always happy to see her and even after I came back, they were still looking for her and expecting her to come hang out with them. I cannot recommend her enough! If I need to book through Rover again, I will always see if Cora is available!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Apple Valley on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,612 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
