“On short notice, Sarah was able to come over for the night and play with our dog, Coco. Sarah is really sweet, and everything went just as planned. We felt very comfortable leaving our Coco with Sarah!”
“Jenna was awesome! It was the first time leaving our pup for the night and I missed him as soon as I left but Jenna sent a picture right away of her and him playing outside together. He looked so happy and it made me feel so much better! Throughout the night she continued to send me several pictures and keep me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend booking with Jenna!”

About: Every animal brings pure joy into my life, and I genuinely adore caring for all pets—from energetic wanderers to quiet, gentle souls who take a little time to warm up. I meet every pet exactly where they are, learning their unique language, respecting their boundaries, and making sure their days are full of comfort, safety, and genuine love. Living with my own three-legged dog and having nursed my sweet cats through cancer, I bring deep patience and calm confidence to medical routines, medication schedules, and unique physical needs. Whether your companion needs a brisk walk, a gentle ear scratch, or thoughtful care with their daily treatments, I’d love to connect and give your furry family member the dedicated attention they deserve! I have an open, flexible schedule dedicated to pet care from Sunday to Thursday (all day and evening). Whether your pet needs an early-morning walk, mid-day playtime, or evening drop-in visits and medications, I can easily match their exact routine. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their environment familiar, safe, and stress-free. I strictly follow your established routine—from exact feeding and medication times to favorite walking routes and play habits—so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space. During every visit or house-sitting stay, I provide attentive companionship, clean food and water bowls, and handle any necessary light tidy-up around pet areas. You will always receive detailed updates with photos after each visit, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is secure and your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.
About: In my near decade of experience as a pet sitter and owner, I’ve cared for dozens of animals ranging in age, size, and species. Throughout my life I’ve owned and fostered dogs of all breeds ranging from Mini Schnauzers and beagles to pitbulls and Great Danes. I am especially comfortable handing nervous and reactive dogs on walks, seeing as I am physically fit and have experience with rehabilitating abused and neglected canines. As a feline caretaker, I primarily have experience with senior cats and energetic kittens under a year old. When it comes to reptiles, I’ve had the great pleasure of caring for leopard and Mediterranean geckos, as well as bearded dragon lizards, and am comfortable with feeding them live meals as required. Finally, in the realm of fish, I’m well versed in caring for freshwater fish such as gold fish and betas, and am skilled at monitoring a tank’s ecosystem and water quality. I’m currently a self employed artist running my own small business, so I have an incredibly flexible schedule and plenty of freedom to spend time caring for your furry or scaly friends! I care for the pets in your home by providing them with consistent meals, regular exercise/stimulation, and dedicated comfort and companionship during the their family’s time away from home. While in my care, I closely monitor your pet’s health and mood to ensure that all of their physical and emotional needs are being met throughout the day.
About: My name is Erin. I have loved animals from birth. I am a horseback riding instructor, I live on a farm with my two horses, my parents, and our dog Petey. I am a practicing natural horseman and dog trainer. I have a private in law apartment, a five acre back yard, a fenced in dog run. While watching your dog I will treat them like my own. A typical day at the farm starts at five AM when we feed and turn out the horses. Petey the puppy gets his breakfast and morning constitutional. I'll take Petey down to the barn with me while I muck the barn out and I let him loose in the fenced dog run behind the barn. After morning chores its training time for everyone! The horses get excercised, Petey does his drills, and everyone gets lunch! In the afternoon typically I"ll take Petey for a walk in the trails right down the street. Then around four PM the horses are turned in for the night and everyone gets dinner! While staying at my house, dogs will have the opportunity to go for hikes in peppercorn state park, interact with horses and other dogs (if you so choose), play fetch and run free in my fenced in dog run. I am not able to watch dogs who are not up to date on vaccinations, are not house broken, or are under eight months of age. Im working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! Im available for drop ins, dog walking (or cat ;)) and house sitting services with frequent picture status updates. I love being outside and my last dog was 120lb Im comfortable with tiny to mighty! I’ll treat your animals like mine.. after owning a variety of animals most of my life I understand that communication, sticking to your pets routine and frequent updates are vital as well as being able to respond quickly in any issues. I love walking dogs and am an expert cat scratcher
“Rebecka was attentive to my dog's needs and went above and beyond taking care of the house. She sent me detailed updates throughout her stay. She was excellent!”
About: I have taken care of several dogs for several families for my entire adult life. I have watched dogs from puppy age up until older adult dogs. I also have a dog at home. I am available every day except on every other Saturday. I can care for pets any time of day, including overnights. I only cannot board. I take the dogs outside or for walks and I maintain a clean and safe and loving environment for all pets in my care always.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cherry Valley
Kaylee did an excellent job caring for our young energetic dog and our elderly cat, in house. Our family left for Italy for ten days to visit Rome and then attended our daughter's wedding at Lake Como. It was a wonderful gathering of family and friends that I couldn't have enjoyed if I didn't know that our dog and cat were in such capable hands. Kaylee is very professional and thorough; and kept up with me, sending daily reports and cute pictures of our beloved animal friends via text. Kaylee also kept a watch over our house, watering plants and attending to routine maintenance. I'd definitely use her services again, and highly recommend her to anyone who loves their pets.
If you're looking for someone you can trust to take care of your babies, look no further than Jared. With Jared you will have peace of mind knowing your babies are with some one you can trust, they are being well taken care of and they are happy. Jared sat for our 2 dogs, Olive and Binda, both 6 year old lab mixes for 5 days. They loved being with him and I loved not having to worry about them. Jared is caring, thorough, and very experienced. He sent us updates and pictures showing two happy pups. We will ask Jared to sit for us again, no question!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
