“Neil took great care of our 3 pets for a solid week while we were on a cruise and mostly unreachable. We’ve got a kitty that needs meds twice daily, a finicky corgi, and a super hyper pitbull— all of which we trusted in his care given his experience and glowing reviews. He sent lots of pictures throughout and ran into no issues. Our pets seemed happy and taken care of when we returned. 😊”
About: As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy. I currently work full time as a special education instructional assistant but I am flexible in the evenings (after 4pm), on weekends and during the summer. I take pride in following through with expectations with compassion and excellence. I also enjoy taking photos and sharing documentation of your animal’s wellbeing with you.
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”
“Savannah took wonderful care of my adult dog and puppy for the evening. She bonded with the dogs right away, sent plenty of photos and updates, and provided lots of attention with walks in the yard and playtime on the porch. I will definitely use her again.”
“I could not have asked for a more caring and loving individual to watch my two darling Shih Tzus when I was away. On the meet and greet, Megan took meticulous notes and it was clear how much she loves animals. While I was away, she sent many notes and photos. Her questions showed me how well-cared for my babies were and I could rest easy knowing that Megan was there. I feel so lucky to have found her! Not only did she take excellent care of Moxie and Tonks, but she left my apartment better than she found it! Amazing!”
“Kathy is the best! I picked her due to her lengthy good reviews, and just add mine to the long list! She was courteous and professional the entire time when it came to me and our home. She was playful and fun when it came to sitting our 3 German Shepard babies! She took care of them day and night for an entire month. Including making sure they got their individual medicines and cuddle times. She enforced the rules for the pups ( rooms, furniture etc) and handled a non working appliance and lawn ppl coming and going like a pro! Not to mention all the updates and pics she routinely sent me! I couldn’t have wished for anyone better! Thank you so much Kathy!!!!”
“She was good with the pets, including taking care of a dog who was afraid of thunder during several thunderstorms. She was also honest and responsible and sent pictures of the pets.”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Amy-Elizabeth was wonderful! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat, as well as our home. She left our house better than she found it and our animals seemed so happy with her! Her communication was excellent and we felt so confident that our fur babies were well taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
“Sarah did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 4 dogs. She kept constant communication and sent daily pics which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even added to our pups training! We will be booking again when we decide to travel next.”
“Jessie provides Excellent Quality Care, and is a true professional! We trusted Jessie with looking after our sweet dog Lucky and sit our home while my family and I traveled internationally. Throughout the entire booking cycle, Jessie created a wonderful client experience. We are now loyal clients!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Brittney did really great with our dog who has some behavioral issues and requires daily medication. She spent time with him at the meet and greet and he warmed right up to her and loves her! She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates including pictures, which was appreciated!
Kristen did an excellent job caring for my senior dog, Jazmine, while staying at my home. She provided daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and her communication was outstanding. Jaz was happy and well cared for when I returned, and my home was in great shape. I would gladly book with Kristin again
Josephine (JC) was fantastic. She did really well with our dogs when we had a brief meet and greet. She showed up on time on the day that her booking started. She sent us regular updates via text message and photos. The dogs really clearly liked her. I'm very eager to plan another trip and book her again.
Jessie went above and beyond to take excellent care of our dog, cat, chickens, and home. He provided a multiple photos of the pets relaxed and enjoying themselves in his care. He was very responsive to messages and was flexible and compassionate when I messaged that my return flight was delayed. I have full trust that, when we are away, Jessie has everything well in hand!
Elizabeth is great. She has dog/house sat for us a lot and we are planning other trip this summer that we will be booking her for as well. She takes care of our dogs as if they were her own! We appreciate the communication and pictures she sends. Overall she is just wonderful!
We just moved and are getting some fun new behaviors from one of our dogs. Carolyn was really understanding, followed instructions carefully, and had great instincts and skills with our one buddy who wasn’t sure about her. We went into it nervous and came away super confident. Would certainly recommend, especially if you have a rescue or special needs pup. Thanks Carolyn!
I'm almost reluctant to give Nathan the review he deserves. The reason is purely self-serving. If he benefits by becoming the most popular sitter on Rover, what happens when I need him?? All kidding aside, he's that good. Nathan is hands down the best sitter I've ever had and that is based on his conscientiousness toward my dog and my home. He communicated well, sent pictures and updates during the time I was gone and did little extras like staying longer when my flight was delayed. I would offer more stars if I could and I would be happy to have him sit for me again.
Amelia was fantastic! She took such great care of our two fur babies and even sent me photos during our trip. It was a real comfort knowing she was there loving them. When we got home she didn't leave a trace and even changed the sheets on the bed for us. Highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Happy Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Happy Valley on Rover is $55.5 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 660 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Happy 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 Happy 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 Happy 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 Happy 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
