“Michelle has watched our dogs multiple times. She is great with our old dog making sure he gets his meds and our younger dog making sure he gets some exercise. I’d highly recommend her.”
“Tori is FANTASTIC!! My animals loved her; my dog cried when she left. Tori has excellent communication skills and would send me photos and videos of my babies. She watched them and my house for two weeks. Tori left everything in great condition. I highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
“Leaving a fearful, reactive Blue Heeler is incredibly stressful- Sydney handled everything flawlessly while house-sitting; during my absence, there happened to be tree trimming which required parking spots to be vacated, chimney inspections, and exterior repairs during hot weather (of course it just HAD to occur during the ONE period I wouldn't be home). She handled everything flawlessly including understanding my dog's triggers, respecting their boundaries during nervous moments, and took the time to build trust safely. Sydney sent fantastic updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who truly "gets" herding breeds and reactivity while being patient and gentle. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”
“Frank took great care of Ziggy and Leia and our fishies/plants! Our apartment was super clean when we came home and it was clear that they spent a great deal of attention and care to our home and our babies. I would definitely hire them again!”
About: I’m so excited to meet you and your pup! I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs, including high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. I especially love elderly dogs and have experience administering medication and providing extra care for their needs. Every dog has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know each one. I can’t wait to start dog walking or sitting and give your furry friend all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I currently work full-time at Trader Joe’s, where I work morning opening shifts. Even with my morning schedule, I can still accommodate overnight stays and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need in the morning before I head to work and when I return! When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I enjoy giving lots of cuddles, going on walks, and making time for play. I’ll also send at least three photo updates a day so you can stay connected with your furry friend while you’re away! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and administering any needed medications. I love giving pets plenty of affection while respecting their individual needs and personalities. I’m also available for overnight stays and can provide morning care before my opening shifts at Trader Joe’s. I’ll send at least three photo updates each day so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind.
“I hate leaving a review because I want Jamie all for us! We’ve never had such a phenomenal dog and house sitter who takes such amazing care of our pets and our home. He lets us truly relax and enjoy vacation knowing everything at home is in the best hands. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
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.
“Karynne did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! She was communicative, flexible, followed all instructions, and left my house super clean. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Our first time with Celeste and we were very happy with her care of our fur kids. She took care of our two old pups - one who loves everyone and one who is less than thrilled with humans in general. The grumpy guy even liked her. And our three-legged cat was happy too. We got photos and videos daily, and everyone seemed happy and content. We will definitely have Celeste over again.”
“Val was communicative, sent pics of our cats daily and was responsive when I reached out. It was so nice to have peace of mind that our cats were taken care of while we were gone!”
“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years and taking care of family members pets as well. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch and play with pets. I’m super flexible with schedules and can plan around anything. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs. Both dogs know, basic commands and enjoy enrichment activities. Both are fed twice a day and given plenty of attention.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
“Amir has watched my pack three times now, and he does daily drop-ins when I am at work. He is awesome! Super attentive and very communicative. He goes above and beyond consistently; Like helping me battle the Little Black Ants that had invaded my kitchen. Seriously, he's the best. And I trust him implicitly. So do my three beasts!”
“Absolute joy. My fur babies are well taken care of, and happy. Aislynn keeps in contact with us and sends photos. She spends time doing tedious things my cat needs done almost daily and it is so appreciated. Highly recommend Aislynn.”
“Mary was great with our two pups while we were away. This is the first-time we have left them alone with someone through a service, it's always been family or friends before, so we were nervous. Came home to two very happy ladies. Thank you Mary!”
“Reagan was amazing with our puppy River! She is very flexible with scheduling and quickly adapted to River’s changing medical needs. She went above and beyond for our pup and I would highly recommend her services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Happy Valley
Tiana is always so great taking care of my Milo. He is always so, so happy to see her...definitely one of his favorite people! She did a great job taking care of him and my house while I was out of town for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates each day, kept him entertained, walked, and well-loved. And my house was in great shape when I came home! Will definitely rebook whenever possible!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Happy Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Happy Valley is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,518 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
