“Mia was quick to respond to my request. Short notice appreciated. I have used Mia before and know that Lily gets the best care. I really appreciate how attentive she is and getting Lily outside to play. Thank you.”
“Our dog absolutely loved Tori! We will definitely be constantly using her as our dog doesn’t not tend to get along with a lot of people. However Tori won her heart over!”
“This was the first time we left our highly anxious dog and older cat with Jordan. It was a bit if a rough start, but Jordan took feedback and suggestions well, and the visit went really well overall. Jordan was responsive, caring, and had a good attitude. We enjoyed working with him. Would hire him again.”
“Frank took great care of my older dog while I was away for the weekend. They were thorough and thoughtful and sent great photo updates. I would recommend booking with them!”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Charlie babysat my pups at the hotel when I visited Eugene for a late concert. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, as well as being soft and kind with my babies. I would definitely recommend and rebook when I'm in the area again!”
“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”
“I couldn’t recommend Jamie more! Jamie watched our cats and dog while we traveled and it was one of the first times that my husband and I were able to actually relax and forget about our pets, rather than worry about them with a sitter! Jamie was communicative, punctual, and warm. He sent pictures and updates and I felt comfortable asking for any needs that popped up throughout our time away! Jamie will be the first person I contact for our future house sitting needs. Thank you so much Jamie- excited for you to see the babies again!”
“Amir took great care of our dog and house during a 7 day house sitting. He was very attentive to detail, asked questions when things were unclear, and communicated well. He seems to genuinely love animals and I think that's apparent in the care he provides.”
“Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Naomi was super responsive and great about sending pictures and photos. She made my (high maintenance) pup immediately comfortable and she took great care of him. I highly recommend Naomi!!!”
“Karen was awesome, communicative and appropriate. She kept me up to date with pics, asked valid questions and showed genuine concern for my dogs and my home. Highly recommended!!!”
“Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!”
“Alice was great with my animals and my home. She is so kind and thoughtful, and my animals really felt at ease with her! Thanks Alice. Will definitely book with Alice the next time I need a sitter!”
“Philipp was super communicative, thorough, and generally was an easy sit for us. And it was apparent that Pepper very much loved her time with him! We’re hoping that we’ll be able to utilize him again in the near future!”
“Starla saved our butts when we desperately needed a sitter. My wife and I were travelling out of town, and it just so happened that we had no one available to watch our reactive dog, Momo. We had just moved to the area and were wary of Momo's comfort, but Starla was more than happy to meet Momo and get her comfortable with her. On our trip, Starla sent constant updates, and Momo seemed super at ease and happy with Starla. While we were busy on our trip, it was fantastic knowing Momo was taken care of. We came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thank you again, Starla!”
“Brigit was amazing taking care of our dogs and house while we were away for a week. We got daily updates and she was very aware of our dogs' moods and what they needed. It really made it so we could enjoy our trip knowing our girls were being taken care of.”
“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.”
“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.”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Happy Valley is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $75 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
