“Denisse was wonderful with our three rescue dogs. She stayed the weekend with them and they were well taken care of. We will definitely have Denisse come back again when we need a dog sitter for an overnight or a drop in visit!”
“Alex was very thorough and very kind and went the extra mile for our dog Bandit. Always above and beyond what needed to be done. Bandit loved having Alex stay with him while we were on our trip.”
“Kristen is amazing. She is very kind and sent us many pictures daily of our pets. She really seemed to care. She even went and got dog food for our dog! She left our place super clean as well! We highly recommend her!”
“Neil took great care of our two dogs and pet rabbit while we were out of town. He accommodated us on short notice and made me feel comfortable while I was away. I know our pups received so much attention and cuddles while we were gone. It's also the first time I've gone out of town, and our stubborn senior rabbit didn't venge-pee outside of the litter box after I returned (he has a habit of staring at me while doing this to voice his displeasure). 10 out of 10!”
“A caring person and obviously very much an animal lover. She provided lots of feedback and pix. I was really pleased she was able to do our steep walking trail and so Toby got good workouts each day. That is not common with pet sitters I’ve had and so much appreciated. I was completely confident that she was providing excellent care while I was gone. Such a relief to feel you don’t have worry about a thing!”
“Theresa was great with my pups! She communicated frequently and took the cutest pics! We had a hiccup and Theresa handled it beautifully. She communicated the issue quickly and updated me regularly. This is exactly what I need - someone to care for my pups as I would! Thank you!”
“Hannah did a great job watching our 1 year old dog! She was kind and communicative, and followed the instructions that were given. Our dog made a huge mess in the living room (which was a miscommunication on our part) and Hannah cleaned up the mess so thoroughly. We so appreciated not having to come home and immediately clean up. We would definitely hire Hannah again!”
“Our dogs and cats were so happy with Laina. She left our home in great shape after staying with them for 4 nights, and communicated any questions or issues (which were minimal, because our animals are anxious!) quickly and professionally. We will definitely rebook for future petsitting. Thank you, Laina!”
About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Cheeto, a foster Redbone Coonhound who loves other dogs, as well as my new puppy!
“I can say nothing but good things about Katherine. She was very warm to my babies from the beginning at my meet and greet and throughout her stay. I received two updates daily with pictures and videos. She was on top of the maintenance at my home, and I felt comforted with her there. What else could you need? I also came home to the sweetest welcome home gift and card🫶. I've used many sitters, and she's been one of the best!”
“Caitlin was amazing. Sent daily pictures and updates of my dog. My dog is spoiled rotten with attention, food, love etc. Caitlin was able to give all of that to her while we were away for 10 days!!”
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up with 5 cats. I'd visit my grandparents farm over the summer and fell in love with the bunnies. But my biggest love is dogs. I've cared for my high energy dog for the past 13 years and am patient with shy and skittish dogs and love going for walks with furry friends in all weather. I'm an avid hiker and runner (just did a marathon in June) and can keep your high energy dog busy. I'm a former lawyer, reliable and professional. I'm generally available in the daytime and early afternoon, but happy to accommodate existing clients going out of town. I'm experienced with different breed dogs from beagles to Golden retrievers. I've taken training classes with my dog and understand some practical tips for getting dogs to feel comfortable and safe. Also, I have experience administering medications to dogs.
“Zaq took great care of Luna and our home, communicated well and left the house clean and tidy. Most importantly, he was patient with our sensitive girl! Would definitely use him again!”
“Summer has blown every other dog and housesitter out of the water. Between coming home to a clean house, a satisfied dog, happy cats and clean litter, there really wasn’t a box she didn’t tick! She even found my missing debit card. Truly the best rover experience I’ve had thus far. Thank you so much summer, you are so appreciated.”
“Sara was fabulous. This was our first time using her and we will 100% book with her again. She took great care of our 2 dogs, sent lots of photos/updates, and left our house the same as when she arrived. 10/10”
“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”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
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!
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.
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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 671 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:
- 94% 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.
