“Michelle was great with our Australian shepherd! She was able to win him over and they had a lovely time. Our house was clean and as we left it for her. I highly recommend her!”
“Mia came out for an initial greeting to make sure it was the right fit. And she showed up on time and was able to get her into the house and care for Lily. It looked like Lily got plenty of exercise and was very happy. it’s funny how much I miss Lily and look forward to getting home. Mia was very pleasant and I would welcome her back in my home again anytime. I appreciated the photos that she sent to me while I was gone.”

She made sure our pup was happy and secure while we were away. She secured the hens each night and made sure to turn on their light as needed. Teresa’s communication was incredible throughout the whole process. We trusted her completely and would strongly recommend get.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 35 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I've shared my life with beloved pets, cared for neighborhood animal friends, and welcomed animals into my home. After losing our family dog a couple of years ago, I've found so much joy in sharing that love with other animals. Every animal has its own personality, quirks, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. I'm also a registered nurse with 20 years of experience, which has made me patient, observant, compassionate, and attentive to the little details. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for a beloved family member. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I care for animals the way I would want someone to care for my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet won't be spending long stretches feeling lonely! My husband of 26 years is also a huge animal lover, so there's no shortage of love, cuddles, and attention in our home. Caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy, and we love making them part of our daily lives. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. My husband and I are both lifelong animal lovers, and your furry family member will receive double the cuddles and attention! I'm also happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. For these visits, my husband would accompany me, with your permission, so your pets can enjoy some extra love and companionship. We respect your home, your pet's routines, and any special instructions you provide. With my 20 years of nursing experience, I bring an extra level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to caring for animals. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority.
“Jin was so awesome! He met up with me twice before the sit to make sure we were a good fit and to ensure my dog was comfortable with him. He sent images of my pets while I was away, and left the house in amazing shape. He was communicative and seems like an overall awesome dude! Would definitely book again.”
“Lindsey was great! He watched my dogs at my house for 5 days and he did an excellent job communicating with us daily, sending pics and updates on the pups. House was clean when we returned. He had good training tips as well. He even covered up our outdoor furniture for us when it started raining, which was much appreciated. I would rebook, dogs seemed very happy with him.”
“Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!”
“Alicia is the best! She takes very good care of our dog as well as our house while we are out of town. She communicates regularly and sends adorable pictures of our pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Alicia was wonderful with Bernie and Lucy! Bernie has some special needs, so it’s really important to us to have someone who is attentive, patient, and comfortable with his routine. Alicia did a great job with both dogs over the long weekend, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’d happily have her watch them again and definitely recommend her!”
“Taylor is reliable, kind, timely, and an excellent dog sitter. He took wonderful care of our home and dogs while we were gone. He’s very communicative and left our house clean and tidy. We will absolutely be having Taylor return and highly recommend.”
“Forest took great care of our crew during a weekend trip! Including our reactive pup who can be a challenge. Everybody was happy & healthy when we returned and he kept our house in great shape.”

Emily did a great job watching my dogs! She was very attentive to them, took them on long walks, and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. She was also very responsive and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch them again.
Corynn is amazing! We haven't had a regular go-to sitter for some time, but I think we've found her! She watched our two dogs and two cats while in our home while we were out of the country for a week, and she gave the the ease of mind to enjoy our trip, as much as we could without our babies. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. 10/10, would absolutely recommend her.
Erin is amazing! She took care of both are fur babies and one is a high energy puppy. Erin sent photos, kept in touch and was so sweet and thoughtful. When we came home she had even washed the linens from her stay. We highly recommend Erin and would love to be a repeat customer.
Erin really helped us out this weekend! They were able to come meet our big and elderly dog, Tallulah, then take care of her for an overnight. Tallulah needs medications, special food, and extra time moving around and Erin took care of everything, leaving us a carefree night out of town. Will definitely book with Erin 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 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.
