“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”

“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
“Amie is a wonderful and caring young lady. She quickly caught on to our dog: Molly's needs. Molly had hypdsplasia and is 14. It's hard for her at times to get up and move. She also needed meds to help ease her pain. We love our dog and she s pretty spoiled, we felt amiee treated her like she was her own. We truly appreciated Amie, and she has become like family in just the short time we have known her. I would recommend her to anyone. She works from her home which makes it nice to. I have did the kennels and drop in visits, I'm not crazy about them. We were gone for 19 days and amiee even graciously dealt with our neighbor who decided to take down are fence and redo it with no notice. Amiee is great and has alot of great references. Book with her folks ?”

“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”
“Selena was wonderful, she really bonded with our beloved Sterling the Snowshoe. It was great to be able to relax on our road trip knowing Selena was there caring for him and our house. She left the house in beautiful shape and we could tell kitty really loved being with her.”
“Oh my goodness things could not have gone any better. This was my very first time using Katherine/Rover and needing to leave my pet with someone. The whole idea of not being with my girl for an extended period was so uncomfortable to me. Katherine was so professional. She went above and beyond to help calm my nerves and make this process pleasant. It was so fantastic coming home to a well cared for home and pup. Katherine is not only kind but skilled. She made me want to look for reasons to need her again. When I was missing my girl while on the road. I had pictures and videos of her. I loved seeing my dog smile knowing she was not only ok, she was happy in in good capable hands. It was everything to us to not have to remove my dog from her home when we went somewhere she couldn't be with us. Thanks Katherine. Many thanks for a job well done. My heart is so full.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
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!
Angela was great with our 3 small dogs aged 9 mos to 15 years. Our overnight get-away was much more relaxing knowing they were in her experienced care. She also helped us out with our chickens which we really appreciated. Angela sent us updates and photos throughout her stay, letting us know how the dogs were doing. She was particularly attentive to the needs of our senior dog which was very kind and thoughtful. We would love to book Angela again.
Jadon was great with my reactive large dog and my health compromised small dog. He came at a time when the little one was in transition with back and bladder issues and he was kind, contientious, and communicative. I know they were in great hands while I was out of country and not able to manage. House was clean and well cared for as well. 100% will ask him again!
10/10! Amir (and Tiana) were amazing! The pictures and daily updates put our mind at ease while we were overseas for two weeks! They went out of their way to meet us two times beforehand to make sure everything was seamless and everyone was comfortable. We have 2 animals on medications and Amir did a great job making sure they got their meds as directed! Our animals were comfortable and the house was left in great condition (he even replaced our snacks!) Would 100% recommend to anyone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Happy Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Happy Valley on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,500 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
