“I highly recommend Sammie! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos every day and we knew they were in great hands. She is a true professional and we’ll definitely use her again.”
“Renae was fantastic! She took wonderful care of River while I was away in Europe, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I could relax and enjoy my trip without worrying. Highly recommend her for house sitting and pet care!”
“Carolyn was a great dog sitter for our puppy! She was genuinely excited to spend the evening playing with her and took tons or photos and was super communicative with updates on how our puppy was doing. Our pup got lots of attention, play, and snuggles with Carolyn and slept like a baby after a fun filled day.”
“Shayna was amazing with our 4 year old boy Aspen! It was a last minute booking request and it was actually at a hotel as we are travelling for a wedding! Aspen loved her, she was awesome with send photos and videos! Thanks Shayna, would 10/10 book again when we’re back in town!!”
“We really lucked out finding Amy! She accommodated our last-minute request and immediately put us at ease with her understanding of Milo’s reactivity and his individual needs. She took wonderful care of him and left our house clean and well-maintained. The sweet “welcome back” note and homemade gift she left were such a thoughtful touch! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable dog sitter. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Londyn is very kind and did a great job house sitting my dogs, sent updates daily. On return, the dogs acted like I was never even gone; exactly what you’d like to see. Thanks Londyn!”
“We would HIGHLY recommend Mikayla to watch your pets and home. She spent a lot of quality time with our cat and dog and sent lots of pictures. We came home from our trip and the house was spotless. I knew even after our meet and greet that we picked a good one! Thank you, Mikayla!”
“This was our first time with Chuck and all went well! He reached out where clarification was needed and responded and shared updates, house was clean and Churro seemed happy :) Will definitely keep him in mind for the future.”
“Anja did an excellent job with our anxious senior lab. She got creative about helping her eat, which has been a challenge for us lately, and our dog ate better for her than she does for us some days! Her communication was clear and at a perfect frequency for us, and we came home to a happy healthy calm pup. She was timely in her arrival and did everything as expected. She was respectful of our home as well.”
“Brooke is amazing! We have a reactive dog that needs a few introductions before feeling comfortable with new people. Brooke took extra time with us and our pup to ensure everyone was comfortable for an overnight stay on our wedding day. She has such compassion for animals and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Susan was wonderful—extremely attentive to details. She sent me daily updates that made my day, and—most of all—my cat adored her. I know this because she still sniffs around for her… in fact the other day I caught my cat laying on a towel that I’d left out for Susan to use while I was away. So, I’m pretty sure that if you hire Susan the only unintended effect of her stellar care is that your cat will end up loving her more than you. For the peace of mind of a caring cat sitter, I’ll take it!”
“Jessica was great with our big family of pups and cats! They're rescues and all have their little quirks, but they all loved her! We felt at ease being away from them for five days and will definitely ask Jessica to come back in the future!”
About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. I’ve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. I’m available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.
“Carolina was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. She sent wonderful photos and updates frequently and always responded to any messages quickly. Our dogs had a great time with her! She stayed at our home and took wonderful care of it as well while we were gone. We will absolutely be booking with Carolina next time we need any dog care!”
“Hisham was a great house sitter,he stayed at my house and took care of my dog and three cats. His communication was excellent, I received daily photos of the pets. He walked my dog every day and snuggled the cats a lot. He was very responsible, and one of the best things was before we got home he not only stripped the bed but washed the sheets and re-put them on, and vacuumed the house! Very impressive, will be using him again for sure.”
“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”
“This was our second time using Grace as a house sitter, and she did a wonderful job again! She is great at communicating, kind, and takes great care of our cat and house!!”

Jade is fantastic! One of our pups is very slow to get to know people, but Jade was patient, followed all of our requests and ended up best friends with our dog by the end of the weekend. She took our dogs on daily walks, sent picture updates and left our home clean and tidy at the end of her stay. Highly recommend!
Alexandra stayed with our energetic golden retriever Ellie. We got daily updates about how things were going, including playing outside and the “sniffaris” they did around the house for mental stimulation when it was raining outside. Our house was well taken care of and we will for sure reach out to Alexandra when we need a sitter in the future!
Savanna did a wonderful job house sitting and watching our dog Angus for a week! She was communicative, asked thoughtful questions when meeting Angus for the first time, and sent photos throughout the week. We came home to a very happy pup - thank you Savanna!
I was so worried about leaving Kirby alone while I attended my son’s wedding. But he responded so well with Andy and they became fast friends. Andy kept us updated all day really soothing my nerves. Kirby was in good hands. I’ll definitely reach out to Andy again when I need another sittter. Thank you Andy.
Annie is exceptional. Not only is she a professional and great communicator but she is extremely warm, caring and friendly. She knows exactly what pets need and want. Our dog, Sasha loved Annie from the moment she met her. And we felt instantly comfortable with her as well. We are extremely selective about who can provide care for Sasha and we will select Annie again and again! And her photos are some of the best we've ever seen of our own dog. I highly recommend her for your pets.
Renae was fantastic! She took wonderful care of River while I was away in Europe, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I could relax and enjoy my trip without worrying. Highly recommend her for house sitting and pet care!
We had Sam stay with our dog for two weeks. Our dog has a lot of health issues and we were in the middle of figuring it out when we had to leave. Sam was very understanding and supportive. She agreed to make more rice when needed, send us her eating and pooping updates (:.It was hard to leave the dog in distress but we felt like we could trust Sam with food and meds. Sam also agreed to water the plants and take care of garbage and mail. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog!
Isabella stayed in our home for several nights recently to care for our cat. This was our first time having in-home cat care. Isabella was conscientious, professional, and kind. We appreciated her daily updates and photos of our cats. She let us know when there were any issues with our cat, asked appropriate questions, and kept our house in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to recommend Isabella for cat care, whether in-home or visits, and I'll definitely hope to book her again for our next trip.
Natalie was fantastic. She house-sat and dog-sat for us for over a week and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we got home, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all clean, and she even left our mail in a neat, tidy pile. It was clear she genuinely cared for our home like it was her own. She took wonderful care of Ginger too, lots of walks, and she sent us so many fun photos along the way so we got to see Ginger out enjoying herself the whole time we were gone. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Ginger was in such good hands. We would welcome Natalie back in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter. Five stars all around!
Hannah did an awesome job with Zoey, we could tell she was well cared for. Zoey is shy and a little stand-offish but she warmed up to Hannah right away. Hannah also did a great job taking care of the house, she left everything nice and neat. We would absolutely hire her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Golden Valley is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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 Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden 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.
