“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“Emerson was able to provide house sitting for my 8 week old puppy last minute, which I fully appreciated. He has a way with pups, my pup slept the entire visit in his lap ❤️”
“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone outside our family and Jade did a great job communicating and making us feel comfortable leaving our dogs. Thanks for caring for our pups!”
“Carolyn is fantastic! We recently used her for the first time to help care for our new puppy Moose on the two days we are in office. She provides fun updates with photos and took detailed notes before the first visit! Her communication is wonderful and you can tell she really goes above and behind to care for the pets she watches! We have already booked her again for the following week.”
“Kimbrey & Sean were both very responsive and sent lots of appreciated pictures and videos of my pets! They both listened to all the details I shared on my pups special needs and answered all my questions while I was away.”
“Boone had a great time during his week with Alex, she was very responsive and provided lots of updates and photos along the way. We’re happy we could have someone stay with our little guy!”
“KRISTEN IS THE BEST! If you’re thinking of contacting her- do it. We were out of town for four days and we had never used Rover at all before. It’s safe to say we were nervous to leave our two dogs behind. Kristen was simply awesome. Both dogs have very unique personalities and needs, and Kristen was SO attentive to each and every need. Between an anxious dog who hid under the bed, taking the dogs to the dog park, walking them on trails, and up-keeping very specific potty and feeding routines, Kristen handled everything. On top of that, we received many pictures and videos, which made us feel so much better about leaving our dogs behind. Kristen even took the dogs out separately for potty and playing, which is something we are so thankful for. Additionally, our apartment was left probably even cleaner than it was when we handed over our keys to her. We are already planning on booking her again. She’s a totally dog person, and cares so much about every dog’s needs. We feel like we hit the jackpot, and very lucky. Thank you, Kristen!”
“Lauren took such great care of Jazzi and Remi! She sent updates and photos and I could tell they were all having the best time! I will definitely be booking her services again. Thanks Lauren!! 🐾💕”
“Elizabeth was great! My dog can be a bit of a diva but everything went well and River felt calm around her. I received updates and messages throughout and my house was left very clean!”
“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!”
“Amanda was a great sitter for our two dogs and went over and above in dealing with a wild furry friend in our yard. I would highly recommend Amanda and look forward to working with her again”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
“Brooke was stellar in her communication! I was getting pics and descriptions of what my dogs were up to. Let me know when they ate, how they did on their walks, and how much she enjoyed them. I would highly recommend Brooke for any of your pups' needs!!”
“Jordan was super communicative with us. We have a lot of animals and they all did super well while we were away. I have a lot of anxiety about my pets, but was able to enjoy my trip knowing Jordan was caring for them!”
“Connie was an absolute pleasure! She is so caring and personable. She took care of our Lola, who is a senior girl that required love and affection because her mama wasn’t there. Connie took such good care of her. Even shared some of her lunch when I told her that Lola wasn’t eating her treats or dog food.(after checking with me first). We cannot say enough good things about her. She sent us pictures and videos of Lola, providing extra reassurance that our little girl was doing ok Connie is a very genuine and respectful person. I would definitely use Connie again and whole heartedly recommend her to my family and friends!”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Valley
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.
As someone who’s never used this service before I am very pleased! But especially As someone who has a very senior dog (almost 18 years) I’m incredibly happy with how my dog was taken care of! I was extremely nervous but the pictures and consistent messaging gave me so much peace of mind! Thank you so much for taking care of my favorite boy 🐾
Ciboney was everything we needed for our Nova. The moment I met her, I knew she’d be a great fit. She had great communication, sent lots of pictures and made sure my pup felt loved while I was away. She is a rare jewel and I’ll definitely be using her again. Book her because she is ROVERS best ❤️
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!
This was Alexandra’s second time watching our pup while we’ve been away for an extended period and we love having her! Our beloved pup always seems so happy, we love to get videos and pictures from her, and she leaves our house looking even better than how we left it.
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.

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.
<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 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 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.
