“Neil was great with our 5 dogs, which includes multiple elderly dogs, one with diabetes who requires insulin, and a 2 year old mix breed with tons of energy. Would definitely use again.”
“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!”
“David was a wonderful pet and house sitter. He checked in daily and shared photos of our sweet dog Bear while we’re gone for 6 days. He took her for regular walks and to some of her favorite places in the neighborhood. David left the house in perfect condition, and Bear was a happy girl when we returned. I highly recommend David for any pet and house sitting needs!”
“This is my first Rover and I was a little nervous about leaving my anxious needy babies with someone I did not know. We only briefly met one time but was extremely pleased with the pictures sent and the communication with me while we were gone. I feel comfortable she spent the days being their companion. I got home and she had washed the dishes and taken the sheets off the bed. I would book her again the next time I need someone. Thank you Lynsey.”
“Jackson and Nichole were absolutely fantastic house and dog sitters! From the moment I initially reached out, they got back to me immediately and maintained incredible communication throughout the entire meet-and-greet process. When they came to the house, it was clear they were truly excited to meet and hang out with my pups, Lily and Thatcher. I admit I can be a little over-the-top when it comes to the safety and happiness of my dogs, but they made me feel completely comfortable and safe. I practically sent them a book of instructions and expectations, and they happily confirmed everything while working through any potential concerns. While I was away, they provided daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. They even went above and beyond by leaving work during their lunch break just to provide an additional potty break during the day. I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for attentive, reliable, and deeply caring sitters.”
“Kathleen was a great help taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town overnight! She was very communicative with updates and photos and was comfortable with giving oral meds. We would highly recommend her and hope to book her again soon. Thanks again Kathleen!”
“Levon was amazing - one of our dogs is very territorial/aggressive and struggled with others coming into our house. He got acclimated to Levon after just a few walks and Levon stayed at our place for 4 nights while we were out of the country - by the second day he was cuddling up with him. He left our place perfectly clean and gave us regular updates so we weren’t worried at all after the first day. Highly recommend!!!’”
“Kristen was awesome to work with! She gave lots of updates while we were gone and when we came back we could tell our pups had the best time! 10/10 would recommend booking Kristen ✌️💞”
About: I have had years of experience with various forms of providing care- such as house sitting senior dogs, walking/house checks, as well as taking tremendous care of my own girl Lola (who is a 6yr old corgi/dachshund mix). I hope to extend my love and care to your dogs as well! As of now, I have all the time possible to commit to taking care of pets. In the mornings, first thing is a potty walk. Then we have breakfast, relax, and play until lunch time. Mid-day, we can go for beach walks since I live right across the street! Later in the afternoon we can relax on the balcony until dinner.. naps.. and more! However you need care, I will specify and follow directions! Safety and trust are the most important things to me. I give care to others as I give care to my own dog and myself. Lots of love, communication, trust, and having fun!
About: Animals have always brought a sense of peace and joy into my life, and I genuinely love every opportunity to care for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing with their favorite toy, relaxing on the couch for cuddles, or spending time at the dog park, I enjoy making pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Animals have such a special ability to brighten someone’s day, and I love being able to give that same comfort and care back to them. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets over the years. Growing up, I had 4 Yorkies and as an adult, I also cared for two American Bulldogs, one of whom suffered from severe allergies, so I understand how important it is to be attentive to food sensitivities, environmental triggers, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid medications, pill poppers, and oral syringes. My cat Willow, was a sweetheart and required both pill and liquid medications, which gave me even more hands-on experience with patient, gentle care. I know how hard it can be finding someone you trust to take care of your sweet furry babies. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to create a safe, comforting, and loving environment while you’re away.

“Ava was an excellent sitter for Lupe while we were away for over a week. She kept me informed and responded quickly to my questions. I was worried about Lupe's joint problem but was pleased to find that she was not limping at all when I returned. She seemed very happy and not stressed at all. I would definitely recommend Ava as a sitter.”
“Laura was wonderful with our dog and 2 cats! Luca is very large and still a puppy, so, it’s not always easy with that combination! Laura was patient and kind! Would definitely like to use her again!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“Nate was great with my dogs! He stayed in touch without overwhelming me with texts and photos which is what I prefer. He was really attentive with my 3 dogs and I came home to tired pups which is always a huge bonus after a business trip. I hope he will be available next time I need a sitter because he’s so nice and left the house very clean.”
“Wow! Natalia was a dream. This was our first experience with Rover. We had an unexpected emergent trip out of town and needed someone to watch our 4 babies. Yes, you read that right , 4! Natalia came to our house before hand and meet all the babies and they were really taken with here. We immediately felt comfortable with her and once we left out of town she was a dream. She texted us pictures every day multiple times and walked our babies twice a day. In our time of duress Natalia was a great relief for us. For certain if and when we need sitting services Natalia will be our girl.”
“Mandolyn was wonderful! She's very comfortable around animals and is incredibly knowledgeable. Our pets loved having her around, and we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing our animals were safe and cared for. Mandolyn's communication is excellent and we got the perfect amount of updates on our pets. Will absolutely book her again!”
“Hailey did a fantastic job providing last minute in home pet sitting for our dog. Joe has aggressive tendencies with new people and Hailey was very patient with him. We appreciated her transparency and updates throughout her stay. We would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
“Juna was great! She was kind and communicative and sent me photos/updates that kept me at ease while I was away. She took great care of my dog, cats, and house and I would definitely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Our experience with Jessie was absolutely amazing. They were incredibly patient and kind with our overly anxious dog, which meant so much to us. Jessie kept us informed throughout the process and made us feel comfortable knowing our girl was in good hands. We truly appreciate the care and understanding they showed and will definitely be booking with Jessie again.
Megan stayed with our dog and cat for two weeks and took wonderful care of them! She’s trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use Megan again for future pet care and recommend her!
We’re so grateful to Diana for taking wonderful care of our rambunctious puppy in our home this past weekend! Shosh is a rescue who can be a little apprehensive around new people, but Diana’s calm, patient demeanor quickly won her over. As anxious new puppy parents leaving our girl for the first time, we especially appreciated Diana’s thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating as our plans shifted, which made the whole experience that much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and will absolutely book Diana again!
Lauren was great with our dog Snickers! She was very communicative and sent us pictures daily. She took him on walks daily and managed his leash-reactivity well. She gave our kitties lots of love and attention. Lauren also went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean house! We will definitely be using her again!
Ava has been very caring and patient with our anxious pup, Eola. She took pictures during house sitting that allowed my partner and I to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Ava has great communication and left the house clean and tidy. She even stripped the mattress before leaving. Thank you!
Nathan was incredible and stayed with our two difficult dogs (one senior mostly blind and a hound dog who doesn’t like new people coming inside) at our house for over a week while we were in Mexico. We can’t recommend him enough. He found out that our dogs got fleas while we were gone and bathed and shampooed them right away. He also watered all of our plants and garden and kept the place super clean. We also had a flight cancellation on our way back last minute and Nathan happened to have hand surgery that day but came over to right after to take care of them another night. We would highly recommend him and would rate him more than 5 stars if the app lets you).
Bekah did such a great job with my dog Louie. While he is sweet at heart, he can be a handful with his quirks. Bekah did a great job managing these quirks and kept him safe and happy. She always kept me updated on how everything was going during her time caring for Louie and my home. I highly recommend Bekah to anyone and will definitely use her services in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Happy Valley is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 644 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 , 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.
