“Pamela was absolutely amazing! She kept in Touch with us during the day and sent us pictures of our fur babies. She went above and beyond - and walked our babies 3-4 times. I know when our dogs do and don’t like someone and they absolutely loved Ms. Pam!!! Thank you for everything Pam. Wish we could carry you in our pocket!!! You are the best”
“Tamara did a great job sitting for our pup Biko. She communicated frequently before the start date to make sure we were on the same page about what time we were leaving and coming back. Our dog can be anxious when we are gone but Tamara hung out with him and sent lots of pictures during the visit, it seems like he was at ease with her. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house, will definitely work with her again the future!”
“Ashton did an amazing job watching our two pups for three nights! She sent updates and photos multiple times throughout each day so we knew they were being cared for and having a great time! We will definitely book with Ashton again!”
“Savannah watched our cat Taz over a long weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went! She took great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the updates & photos of Taz during her stay, and we’ll definitely be rebooking Savannah for future trips!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have two dogs of my own. I’ve house sat and dog sat many times for friends and family, and I really enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Since I have two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and time to feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently a student at Utah Tech, and have classes mainly on Monday and Wednesdays. I have lots of free time during the week to be able to help out with your dogs. I really enjoy being outside and getting exercise so I would love to be able to do that while helping out! I have lots of experience for training and taking care of dogs. I have nannied for a family the past two years, and have taken care of their dog. I am a strong communicator when it comes to making a plan and keeping a good relationship with the families I take care of.
“Took care of my crazy baby well! Super appreciate and helped soothe my worries as it had been a while since I have let someone outside of family watch Riza.”
“Michelle took great care of our boxer dog, Gunner. She was able to work with our schedule and was available during the holidays. She sent pictures daily and played with him in our backyard. I would definitely recommend Michelle and I will use her services again.”

I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apple Valley on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
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.
