“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”
“This was our first time leaving Bertie with a sitter - and using River - and we could not be happier! Donna is the BESTEST! We look forward to seeing Donna again 🥰”
“Mia does such a nice job with Lily. She seems comfortable in my home and her and Lily get along great…..but Lily gets along with just about everyone. I’m confident that Lily is being cared for and that she gets outside for plenty of exercise. Gladly would recommend Mia.”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“I have had dogs all my life but have always used a kennel. Since my girls are getting older, I really wanted them to stay in their familiar safe place...home. I interviewed a few Rover sitters and decided on Kiana, loved her personality, smile and contact with my two Westies. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She sent regular pictures and texts to let me know things were going fine. I came home to a clean house and even some peanut butter cookies! I will definitely use Kiana in the future. Thank you Kiana!”
“Tori was an excellent pet caregiver! She helped my cat with her stomach issues, ensuring she was comfortable and well-monitored. Tori also made sure my dog was walked regularly and felt loved in my absence. She went above and beyond by providing treats and sharing thoughtful insights about my pets while I was away on vacation. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Naiya did an excellent job house sitting for our wolfhound mix. Great communication and photos. The house was clean and our pup was happy, it was like we never left! Highly recommend Naiya’s services.”
“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!”
“Matthew went above and beyond!! Very very kind person. Very professional. Left the house nice and took care of our kitties well and he even left the coolest gift and note at the end of it. Best Catsitter we’ve had and we’ve had. Highly recommend!!”
“Megan was a really great sitter for our two cats. She gave frequent updates and many photos/videos, and peace of mind while on our vacation. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed to have barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond and took good care of our house as well, and left it clean and tidy.”
“Merry was punctual, and a good communicator. She was very friendly and clearly cared about my animals well being, and safety. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Kieran was a fantastic dog and house sitter. Our dog Pando was happy and healthy and when we returned and the house was in perfect shape. Kieran was responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our trip. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Sparkle house sat for our 2 1/2 year old dog & 12 year old cat, for a weekend. Sparkle was excellent in letting us know when they had arrived & when they had left the house. They were very diligent & patient getting to know our dog. And he clearly adores Sparkle. Our standoffish cat also warmed to Sparkle. Excellent care to our fur babies. Plenty of photos. Sparkle was very tidy & I very much appreciate their effort. They have strong communication skills. And the neighbors were delighted to meet them. We are hoping for many more visits.”
“Mario did an amazing job taking care of my dogs, Coco and Lola! He was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were his own. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Coco and Lola were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. I really appreciate the attention and care Mario gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Coco and Lola again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Mario!”
“Jordan took such good care of our babies!!! The house looked fabulous and our kiddos were all happy and healthy. Daily communication and medication dispensing was done without issue. We already have him rebooked for the end of the month.”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
