“This is our second time asking Taylor to sit our dogs, and she unsurprisingly did an awesome job keeping our dogs happy, occupied, and cared for. It was especially important as it was my husband and my wedding weekend, so we knew that we could focus our attention on preparations while Taylor spoiled Tres and Laika at home. Thank you again, Taylor!!”
“Thank you Tom for watching the pup! Tom did a great job of sending reports and pictures. Will book again with Tom. I do recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter! Wholesome guy”
“Brianna and Sam were awesome! They provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. They gave Atlas lots of attention, walks, and play time. Atlas seemed healthy and happy when we arrived home, and the house was clean. We will definitely book them again!”
“Absolutely amazing. She sent us daily pictures and was so good with our geriatric dog. She left the house so clean and was an excellent communicator. She will be at the top of our sitter list from now on.”
“Kristin did a great job with Bones. Took care of him and our apartment and was very communicative. We came home and bones was happy and everything was clean. Would use her again”
About: As an animal science student and aspiring veterinarian, caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it's my absolute greatest passion in life. I bring hands-on expertise from working in extended animal daycare, giving me a deep understanding of canine body language, group play safety, and specialized care needs. Having dogs of my own, I treat every visiting pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own furry family members. You can trust that your companion will be in safe, knowledgeable, and genuinely loving hands while you're away. Because I am currently taking a semester off from my animal science studies, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and centered entirely around my passion for animals. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's mid-day walks, mental enrichment, or just hanging out, pet care is my main focus right now. Your routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and training cues, will seamlessly become my daily routine. In my quiet neighborhood home, your dog will enjoy a safe, fenced yard for supervised play and a cozy, stress-free environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow your established routines, house rules, and feeding schedules. Wherever we are, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable, secure, and showered with attention.
“Graham was great! She communicated with us and we didn’t feel like we had to worry about our dogs when we were on our trip. They seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home :) Thank you so much Graham!”
“Tori was fanatastic! Very prompt communication and completely dependable. Sent pictures and updates of our dog so we knew he was enjoying himself and being kept on his usual routine. We felt very confident leaving our lab and home in her hands. Will recommend and use again!”
“The best petsitting experience. Kate was so flexible with our last-minute booking and other changes and so kind. She sent updates and took great care of not only our pets but our home. Will be rebooking when we need her!!”
“Anny did a fantastic job looking after my pup. She consistently sent me pictures and updates. I definitely felt comfortable with her taking care of my dog! She also took fantastic care of my home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Felecia was AMAZING and took incredible care of our pup and our home. It was especially helpful to know that over the holidays Poppy was cared for and loved by someone so thoughtful. Thank you again!”
“I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Everything seemed well taken care of. She was easy to communicate with on time for meet and greet. Upfront and honest about times she'd be available. Of course, the only thing I would've liked more of was wpictures, but I am having her back at the end of the month and very excited to do that. she was awesome with Bonnie.!”
“Thomas provided excellent care for our Bella while we were away which gave us such peace of mind. He’s caring, communicative, timely and so much more. We would recommend him 100% every time!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! We have two needy dogs and she did wonderfully with them! She interacted with the dogs throughout the day kept us posted throughout the day! We hope to continue to use Rachel because she's fantastic!”
About: My name is Bre, and I am a 23 year old dental hygiene college student! I have been watching my friends and family's dogs since I was 16 and I adore it! I have experience with elderly and blind dogs, and dogs of all sizes. I have my own very anxious dog, so I know how important it is that she feels safe and cared for when my family isn't around - that's why I treat every dog I watch as if they were my own❤️ I go to school 5 days a week, but Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays are half-days for me at the moment. For Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it's more difficult for me to provide frequent potty breaks for dogs. However, weekends I am able to be there all day or as needed! As I have my own dog, I prefer pet-sitting for animals in their own homes. I am able to spend time with animals in any way they need, whether that be taking them on walks or just providing company and watching TV together!
“Barry was fantastic. The person we had booked fell through and Barry was willing to take the booking and squeeze in a meet and greet kind of last minute. Our dogs warmed up to him so quickly. He sent several pictures and played with them every day to get them exercise. He was easy to communicate with and our house was left in great shape. Will definitely be using Barry again if we can!”
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have experience with many animals, including hedgehog, large animals, dogs, and cats, etc. When I was in middle school, I fully owned and operated my own guinea pig rescue! I love all animals and caring for them and I plan to attend the university of South Florida next year as a major animal sciences on the pre-veterinary track. I plan to attend vet school after to specialize in large animal medicine. I plan to use any money I make pet sitting to help afford vet school! 😃🐂 I’m currently in high school released at 1 PM every day and have availability every day as well. I make sure to always commit my time to the animals I’m looking after as they are my highest priority at the time! I make sure to spend lots of time exercising, and playing with pets! For outside and farm animals, you can count on their stalls, always being clean and their bellies full.

Andrew house sat for us and cared for our 4 fur babies for 3 1/2 weeks. He did an excellent job caring for everyone and everything around the house. We will definitely be using his services again. He is reliable, caring and attentive to details. This is the longest time we have been away from our pets, and it made it a little easier knowing he was caring for them.
What a wonderful sitter to have found. Our three pups (including one who is 14 and one who is 8 months) were so well taken care of. They loved being in their own house and Christie was fantastic! She kept us updated all day, sent lots of fun photos and videos and the house was perfectly clean and cared for. We highly recommend her and will be booking again! She even had fun walks for the puppy who seemed so happy. Thank you, Christie, for being so fabulous!!
As always, Erica took exceptional care of Thor while we were on vacation for a week and the house was immaculate when we got home. I always feel at ease and have one less worry when Erica takes care of our little boy Thor thanks to her excellent communication skills and daily pictures! Thank you, Erica!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful with our dog! ❤️ We felt completely comfortable having her stay at our home and care for our dog while we were away. She was so loving, attentive, responsible, and thoughtful. She made sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while also keeping us updated so we never had to worry. Knowing our dog could stay in the comfort of her own home with someone as caring as Ashley gave us such peace of mind. Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking such amazing care of our girl. We truly appreciate you and would absolutely trust you with her again. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!
Addison was amazing with Butters! She made him feel very comfortable and made sure he was well cared for while we were away. She was always very prompt with her responses and regularly sent us photos and videos, which we really appreciated. She also left the house very clean and well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing Butters was in good hands. I would 100% book with Addison again and highly recommend her!
Liz was perfect with Henree. She updated su with photos. She contacted us because he was off his food and immediately tried adding cottage cheese as I suggested and everything was fine. She is very good with animals and has a genuine love for them. Highly recommended.
Calli has stayed with our 2 dogs and 1 cat a few a times now. Our girls are always happy when we get home and it’s clear they’ve been well cared for. Calli is communicative and thorough about their care, and she always leaves our home spotless. We’re so grateful to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dove Valley is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 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.

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 Dove 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 Dove 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 Dove 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
