“My dog was very happy with Margaret, even seemed sad when she left. Obviously they got along well! She even taught him to play fetch which he was never interested in before. I will definitely call on Margaret again.”
“Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!”
“Sammie is everything anyone could possibly want in a dogsitter. She is highly experienced, dedicated, flexible, clearly loves and knows a lot about animals. She is also a lovely person to work with.”
“Isabella was great with our 3 month old puppy! She sent us pictures and was very communicative and gave us updates while we’re were away. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and we hope to work with you again soon!”
“Ciboney was the sweetest house guest and took such good care of our elderly pup. He is a older and nervous but still thinks he is a puppy so boarding him at a friends or pet hotel doesn't work with his nerves. She was polite and helpful even when the power went out for a day. Don't hesitate to work with her!”
“Grace had a great stay with my critters, Billie (dog) and Bill Murray (cat)!!! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous to entrust my pets with a stranger, but Grace spent an hour with us during the "Meet & Greet" and took the time to walk with us around the neighborhood. That really put me at ease! She notified me right away as things came up, and checked in each day with pictures and videos. My dog has a difficult time with other dogs and Grace was able to re-direct her to keep her safe. This time of year is always tough, too. My neighborhood was covered in a sheet of ice, followed by a blanket of snow a few days later. Grace braved the weather and kept the pets on their routine. When I got back, everything was clean and in it's place, and the neighbors only had nice things to say after meeting her! She followed instructions to a tee and the pets were as happy as could be with mom gone for a week. I've already booked her for my next trip :) Thanks, Grace!!!”
“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!”
“Our dog loved Jade, and it was his first time being with a new adult. She came and met the dog first and was super punctual and great with our dog. Clearly a pro at this!”
“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.”
“Kendra is incredible! She does such a great job of watching our dog Tazer and we love getting the photos that she sends throughout the days we’re away! We sleep well knowing that Kendra is taking care of Tazer. Kendra is reliable, professional and very trustworthy! We are so grateful for her! ❤️🐾”
“Connie was amazing! She was very thorough with our meet and greet. My animals also instantly loved her and felt comfortable with her which is especially rare for my dog. My dog usually needs to be coaxed to eat special food while I’m gone but she went straight for her dry kibble shortly after Connie got there. She’s a true animal lover :)”
“Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!”
“Kimbrey and Sean have stayed with our dog twice and took great care of him as well as the house. Will book again! Great folks who communicate promptly and go the extra mile.”
“Alex did such a great job looking after our two dogs and home while we were away. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and she was very patient and understanding of both of their needs. She was respectful of our home and sent a lot of detailed updates, photos and videos. Would book again!”
“Katy did a great job pet sitting for our four pets while we were out of town for a long weekend. Despite a lot of instructions around our animal care routines (we have three senior pets, and all of our pets are either on meds or prescription diets), she handled everything in stride. She communicated frequently, clarified any questions she had, and kept our pets happy and cozy at home while we were gone. This was the first time we've ever used Rover, or a pet sitter we didn't know personally, and thanks to Katy's efforts, we will feel safe doing so again. Thank you, Katy!”
“Absolutely wonderful to have Jessica watch our dog. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel safe leaving her with him. The house was cleaner than when we left! Could not recommend more!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Golden Valley is $50

Kimbrey and Sean took such great care of Pollie while I was gone. This was my first time leaving my dog, and they made me feel comfortable/confident she was doing great with lots of photos and videos. Pollie was also experiencing a hot spot requiring oral medication, topical wipes, and use of a cone. They sent me pics of the wound every day as I requested and it was great knowing they could help continue caring for this issue while I was away. Will 100% be asking Kimbrey and Sean to watch Pollie again!!
Isabella went above and beyond. Super kind and loving to our dog. Our dog Mochi loved her and was so well cared for. Isabella was really good at communicating and giving us updates. She was staying at our home and had to deal with a plumbing emergency while we were away and was super helpful. This was our first time using Rover and we we found Isabella was amazing. I can't recommend her enough, she'll take care of your dog like if it was her own.
EJ took phenomenal care of our two dogs and our apartment. She stayed at our place for an entire week. When we returned, the dogs were happy and well taken care of, and our place was spotless. It was so nice to not have to worry about our dogs or our home while we were away, as EJ is extremely trustworthy, communicative, and an overall kind, good human. We are very grateful to have connected with EJ for dog and house sitting services. We will most definitely be reaching out to her in the future!
Alexandra was extremely accommodating and kind to stay with our precious girl Luna while we were away for two weeks. Luna was clearly well cared for and she left the house tidy and clean. So relieving having someone reliable and caring. We would love to have her back!!
Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!
Caitlin watched Panda for over a week and kept us updated of what was going on pretty well. What was important to us was to have someone at home and not to leave Panda alone for too long. She accommodated our ask and kept Panda on his regular schedule. We felt that she took great care of Panda while we were away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Golden Valley on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,498 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golden 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 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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.
