“Sandra goes above and beyond in taking wonderful care of our two dogs, plus being responsible and willing to take care of household items like watering and handline items we have scheduled. Most importantly she is proactive in her care. While we were away there was a fire close-by and she monitored it constantly and was prepared to evacuate our pets with all their food, beds, and necessities if it became necessary. She communicated with us daily and we were relieved she was providing such loving and conscientious care.”
About: I love animals . I cant remember a time where I haven't had pets growing up. I am experienced with cat, dogs, puppies, and have no breed restrictions. Im experienced with dogs suffering from PTSD and the ones who need extra love to heal. I've received dog training at the Hounds Grounds in Huntington Beach,CA. , and spend time volunteering at Haven Animal Shelter , where I continue to learn new training techniques to manage multiple dogs at once. My goal one day is to have a sanctuary of my own, a safe place for animals to call home. I understand that leaving your fur children in the care of another may be a bit scary. I promise to treat your babies as if they were my own. I offer walks, playtime , cuddles , and proper rest. If your away and want to check on your beloved animal im more than happy to send videos, and pictures, giving you the peace of mind you deserve. I am available Friday though Sunday, and weekdays after 5:00pm for drop ins and walks. I can be available during some holidays provided you book in advance Safety first! I will always make sure your beloved pet is safe from the elements and wildlife that tend to prey on our animals here in So Cal. I carry a whistle , dog horn , and pepper spray during all walks making sure im prepared for the unexpected . I am experienced with redirection and commands. I also make sure during peak dusk and dawn hours your pets will be secured inside your home.
“They did a great job of watching my dogs for me in my home. The dogs loved them immediately and wanted to spend the entire time playing or cuddled up with them. They were also really quick to respond to my last minute message requesting a booking. I really appreciate them being able to watch them and doing such a great job. I would book again.”
About: I've dog sat for friends for several years and had a variety of pets growing up. I'm good at following directions for a specific pet's care. I work part time remote, so I'm flexible for house sitting or drop-by services. If you happen to have a bird, I can take care of them, too! I have a parakeet who lives in a large cage inside -- he doesn't know how good he has it, LOL! I also cared for a variety of pets growing up.
“Malia was so great to my furbbys. She played with and spoiled them while i was gone😍. They warmed up to her real quick. Definitely recommend Malia and will be booking her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up on a farm and we had a wide range of animals. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and are my happy place when I’m down. I have experience with every size dog and am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with administering medications and shots. I have three small dogs of my own, one of whom is trained to smell my blood sugar, another is a survivor of trauma. The last is just a goofball. I work full time in a hospital, but only three days a week. My work days are Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday are completely open. I hardly ever go out except for errands, and dogs are more fun than people, so I’d rather spend time with them. My yard is not fenced, but I have plenty of time to go on walks with them and three fur babies to keep them company. I have a crate if needed, a puppy play pen from when my babies were little, and plenty of pee pads in case of accidents. Plus a big comfy bed to cuddle in.
“Adam was able to accept a last minute overnight job which was a vacation-saver. He is the best dog sitter! He took Arnie on very long walks, followed all my instructions to a tee and was communicative with texts and pictures. He will be my go-to Rover sitter from now on!”
“I couldn’t recommend Suzie more highly for both dog sitting and house sitting! She is so sweet and thoughtful, and having her care for our dogs and home was such a relief. Suzie was a fantastic communicator, followed our instructions, and was punctual and reliable. We especially appreciated how much time she spent with our dogs. When she went out, she was back within a couple of hours, so they weren’t left on their own for long stretches. She also sent photos every morning and evening, which did so much to ease our anxiety and help us enjoy our time away. She was incredibly patient with our dogs’ early wake-up calls—even our older dog’s very insistent approach to getting her attention—and took it all in stride. She also left our home just as clean as we’d left it, right down to washing the containers we’d used to portion out the dogs’ food! Those thoughtful little touches really stood out. Above all, Suzie is someone you can trust. You can tell she really cares about doing a great job and, most of all, about the dogs themselves. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we would happily book her again!”
“Our shy and anxious puppy just adored Alyssa! He usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but became fast friends with her! We felt comfortable with her dog sitting in our house for 4 days, and will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals. With years of pet ownership, I’ve honed my skills in training and caring for my own dogs. Though I lack formal professional experience, my journey truly began in 2019 when I welcomed my German Shepherd. I was committed to his training and enrolled him in boot camp, followed by ongoing socialization efforts. Additionally, I've cared for my own pets and stray cats, ensuring their well-being. My experience makes me a reliable and nurturing pet sitter, dedicated to the happiness and safety of your pets. I'm currently a student, with my semester concluding for the spring and resuming in the fall. Until then, I am available with flexible hours and can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. During May through summer, my availability will increase, allowing for even more flexibility. I'm here to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve at times that work best for you! I believe that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. My approach includes understanding the unique needs of each animal, whether it's a specific diet, exercise routine, or special medical considerations. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. My experience with my own pets and local strays has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and playtime in building trust. I aim to provide not just basic care, but a nurturing experience that keeps them happy and healthy.
“Ebonnie was wonderful, she came earlier then asked to make sure the pups were settled down before she gave them their breakfast. She sent pictures, told us our pups were cuddle bugs and the best. We will use her again”
“Cassidy was very sweet, caring and patient with my senior beagle. She was patient and followed all instructions. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos. I have already requested another booking with her. I recommend Cassidy for your pet.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
“I loved how attentive and communicative he was with looking out for my senior dog. He has a hard time with new people and it made me happy to see he was so good on his second day with Martin. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Yvonne is a knowledgeable, caring, responsive and compassionate dog lover. We felt comfortable with her in our home and assured that our 2 pets were in great hands--relieving the stress of being away from them for a couple of days/nights. I returned to two happy dogs--a super energetic puppy and our 15 year old 'diva.' I have no hesitation referring Yvonne for house sitting and doggie care!”
About: I've always had friends with dogs and have done house and dog sitting for many years without any issues. I also have a saint Bernard, Banks! I'm currently looking for a new job after I was laid off from my former job. I have a lot of time on my hands currently so I have open availability. I take my doggo out on walks every day! We're also lazy from time to time but we're usually more active. I'm very engaged with my dog as he can be very energetic so I can definitely handle bigger dogs with a lot of energy.

The average cost of House Sitting in Cherry Valley is $57 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $67 per night.

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 Cherry 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 Cherry 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 Cherry 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.
