“Taylor has all the qualities of a 5 star Rover sitter. First and foremost she gives your animal the love and attention it needs. She sends daily pics and videos letting you know how their day is going. She stayed in my house for a week and when I came home it was just as clean as when I left. But the best part of all was that it was apparent my dog was happy having her here and showed no sign of stress. I highly recommend Taylor and have already booked her for a second visit.”
“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”
“JuliAnne was wonderful! I would recommend her and hire her again and again. My little Maltese, Remy loved her. She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is also very friendly and easy to work with. Thank you JuliAnne! Remy was extremely cared for.”
“Brianna and Sam were terrific from start to finish! Our two goldendoodle pups had a great time getting lots of head rubs, retrieving balls, and playing tug-of-war in the back yard. Brianna sent pics and updates daily, which were much appreciated! Her communication was excellent and it was great to go away for over a week and feel certain our home and the pups were in good hands.”
“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.”
“We were a bit nervous having never used Rover before, but so glad we found Keonia and highly recommended her! Our dog is definitely a creature of habit and very accustomed to his routine, so it was very nice to have somebody who could come stay with him. Keonia was extremely responsive, proactively communicated, and sent lots of pictures to help ease our minds and give us comfort that he was being well taken care of. We will be checking to see if Keonia is available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Isaiah house sat for our 2 older dogs. His communication was great and did well with dogs. Gentle manner and seems to really like dogs. Came for a free meet and greet with them prior to dog sitting. He even sent pictures of the dogs, which helps when we’re away from them. He also gave the medicine to the dogs just fine, which was really important. We plan to use him again.”
“Liz was extremely reliable, loving, and was able to spend plenty of time with our dog. She provided frequent updates that put us at ease while away from home. She was able to administer daily medication with ease and took great care of our house as well. We are usually very anxious to leave our dog behind but we truly didn’t worry for one second with her in Liz’s care. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Anna is great! We did have one tiny communication issue the first night but everything was perfect! She send lots of pictures and took amazing care of our animals. We are currently finishing our basement and a few contractors had to come over while we gone and she had work with them to make sure the dogs were good while they were there, which was above and beyond the typical Rover. If you are looking for a dog sitter that goes above and beyond, we recommend Anna.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Brit! I reached out in desperation at last minute and Brit came through. With the apprehension of meeting Brit last minute, my worry was eased with many photos, excellent communication and following the same routine my fur baby was use to daily. My dog has a medical condition and Brit followed the regimen for that as well. Most of all, my baby was so relaxed when I got home from being away for an entire week! I look forward to booking Brit again soon!”
“We just got back from 8 nights away while Shaylyn watched our crew of two cats and two dogs. There were a variety of needs, directions and personalities, but everything went super smooth and we came home to everything just as we left it. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Shaylyn!”
“Vlad was wonderful! I had to head out of time in a pinch and he was ready & able. He took great care of my 2 pups and my home. I highly recommend Vlad!”
“This was Tom’s second time staying with our dog while we were on vacation. Once again, he was a great communicator and took such good care of our dog. Thanks so much, Tom!”
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!
“James was terrific with both our dogs. Both seemed to instantly like him. James did a great job with feedings and the much appreciated picture updates. We will definitely be using him again”

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.
As of November 2026, there are 7,751 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dove Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
