“I was so happy that we chose Melissa to take care of our kitties while we were on vacation! We didn’t have cell service for a significant portion of our trip, so I wanted someone who had positive reviews for reliability, and Melissa fit the bill. I’m very grateful that I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about what was happening back at home. We will definitely be rebooking Melissa for our next vacation!”

“I am so happy to find Egle! We just moved in and had to take a trip and I was nervous about leaving our kitty alone in a new place. I was able to find Egle last minute and she did a wonderful job sitting my saucy kitty Momo. Momo does not like many humans but Egle was patient with her and quickly won her over. We appreciated the very thorough updates and great photos while we were away. Egle is kind, patient, responsible, and communicative. I am so glad to have found her. Thank you Egle!”

About: Everyone needs an aunt nearby to check on their dog or care for their dog when you're away. I will spoil your pup with love and attention like I do with my German Shorthair Pointer! I work from home and have the flexibility to take your pup for a walk or stop by for a quick belly rub and potty break. And, of course, a little playtime! I love all breeds and sizes and respect each dog’s individual personality and needs. I can bring my friendly dog, Oscar, along for some play and socializing or come solo to give all my attention to yours! My goal is to help you worry less about your dog while your away from home to give your dog what they need. I work full time from home. My 1/3 acre lot is wonderful for active dogs like our GSP Oscar. Pups who prefer to lounge and snuggle have a spot in my office on the bed next to my desk. Oscar loves dogs of all sizes and so do I! Whether you need daycare or someone to love your pup while you’re away overnight, my lifestyle and home is ideal! I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced yard with lots of room to run! I allow the dogs on the couch and the bed in my office. Oscar is fully vaccinated and takes monthly Simparica. I regularly pick up poop in the yard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. I am skilled at walking two big dogs at the same time and often do during my lunch break.
About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.
“Bridgitte accommodated a last minute request for drop in visits to our sweet old cat over the Christmas holiday. She took wonderful care of Leonard and was both thoughtful and communicative. She shared photos and updates from every visit and Leonard enjoyed the extra attention. Bridgitte even handled some household needs while we were away without even being asked. We're so grateful and hope to work with her again! Thank you Bridgitte!”

“Tori is the best. She kept us up dates on are babys wile we went on vacation. She spoils them. Even tho my one of my pups really doesn't like anyone but me and my other half. He now lets Tori pet and love on him. It's so comforting knowing our fur babys are in good hands with Tori.”

“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”

“Adeline is officially my puppy’s favorite sitter, and we look forward to continuing to rebook her exceptional services! 10/10 recommend her to take care of your pets!”

“She took good care of my cats, followed instructions well and I didn't have to constantly check in to make sure my cats were ok. Great communication and Hayleigh was friendly. My cats seemed happy when I got home.”

About: We love animals! They have so much fun with us on their vacations. We treat them like family. In addition to our own, we have cared for many animals over the years. Mostly dogs and cats, but we also have experience with chickens and horses. We have some basic dog training experience, as well. When we had our dog, we had a sitter that we trusted implicitly, and that peace of mind was invaluable. That is what we aim to offer you. We tend to book up quickly so it's never too soon to ask! We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl, Sally and while we're not ready to have another full-time dog yet, we'd love to hang out with yours. Our schedules are such that one of us is almost always home, so you'll have full coverage for your buddies. Whether it's your place or ours, we will give you the peace of mind in knowing your animal is safe and loved. Dog parks, ball chase, short walks, long walks, hikes, whatever their speed is, we'll make sure it's met. We'll also send photos and updates as often as you'd like. We're available for extended stays and regular, repeat visits. We have never canceled a booking. When there's a dog here, they're the star of the show. One of us works from home, so they'll have daytime companionship. There's usually walks in the morning, play time in a big, fenced yard, hang time, scratches, and toys. Dogs can snuggle on the couch or in bed with us. If we come to you, we will give them all the comforts of home and make sure they're loved on while having a great time. This is a non-smoking home. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of space in the house if your dog needs to be crated.
“Chelsea was such a thoughtful and caring pet sitter for my anxious scaredy cat. I really appreciated Chelsea’s attention to detail and great communication. Chelsea gave my cat medicine and made sure all her needs were met! Chelsea was awesome & would definitely rebook!”

“Deanna did a fantastic job caring for our 3 kittens. Never having left them before we didn’t know quite what they were capable of.. Deanna was creative and good humored, communicated frequently and honestly probably saved our house from complete kitten destruction!”

“Merry was absolutely phenomenal! ❤️ She loved our cats, gave them all the attention and care I had asked for, treated them like her own, and sent us pictures every day. Knowing our girls were in such loving and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Merry kept in constant communication, which made us feel even more comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our fur babies! I will definitely be booking with Merry again for any future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares! 🐾💕”

Sarah was responsive, detailed, and amazing with our pups! She was able to accommodate all of my requests for my 5mo puppy and give both dogs lots of attention during her visit. After the visit, she provided a lot of photos and a detailed summary of her time with my pups which I absolutely love and appreciate from her. 10/10 would recommend booking with Sarah 😌

Marissa was great. We only had her for a couple of days for drop by visits, but she was accommodating and amenable. She played with the one of our cats that wanted to and sent cute pictures each visit. She brought in the mail and pulled in the garbage cans. Really appreciated her flexibility would easily book her again when we need someone for our 2 cats.

Rob dropped in on my two cats for a week. He proved to be intuitive and thorough with the feeding and litter box cleanings. He made friends easily with my cats, even with the younger, more skittish one. She has been known to hide for at least a week with other caregivers, but warmed to Rob in a couple of days. i would not hesitate to recommend Rob for any pet care needs.

Webb is great with our cats! One of them is allergic to fleas, and had some skin irritation while we were gone. Webb was quick to let me know and was able to give him flea medicine and kept me updated on his progress. They even got my shyer cat to play. Thanks so much, Webb!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Happy Valley is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 6,507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Happy Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
