“Took great care of our babies! Did a great job with our diabetic doggo and his big brother 🥰 We normally like to travel with our dogs, but couldn't take them- so we were worried. Esp with our one dog needing a regular food/med schedule. They had a great response time and sent photos regularly, which made us feel better. Came home to a clean house and 5 happy fur babies.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Took immaculate care of my dog and even gave her a bath! He washed his sheets and kept everything clean and tidy. Sent messages and videos to keep us updated. 💯 recommend!”
“Gabe was an amazing dog sitter! He took care of our pup all weekend, staying in our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly responsive, kept us updated with photos, and made sure our dog got plenty of walks and attention. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the peace of mind knowing our pet was in great hands. Plus, our home was spotless when we returned! We’d absolutely recommend Gabe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. What sets me apart is my patience, strong attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with puppy care, including basic training and routine building, as well as senior pet care, giving them the gentle support and monitoring they need. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so every pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently manage resource coordination for a non-profit organization remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, play, feeding, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around each pet’s needs to make sure they receive consistent attention and care. I’m fully open to caring for pets in my clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I handle walks, feeding, playtime, and any daily routines they’re used to. I can also take pets to their vet appointments or any necessary check-ups, and I have a spacious vehicle that makes transportation easy and safe when needed. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can give them calm, attentive, and reliable care just the way you would.
About: Growing up with cats and dogs I have a deep love for animals. I consistently take care of my friends and families animals when out of town. My favorite thing is getting to play with amazing animals in this beautiful place I call home, Sun Valley! I will give your animal lots of love, walks, and time for play, while also ensuring they are on their best behavior! I'm currently in between seasonal work and have time for walks and care throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I would be thrilled to get to hang with your animals! I currently do not have any pets at home so your fur baby would be hanging out with me. I live very close to the dog park in a safe neighborhood in Warmsprings. I will keep your dog on leash unless otherwise informed.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a passion for caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just some cozy couch time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home—whether you’re gone for the day or away for a week! Dogs bring so much joy and balance to my day. I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or winding down with cuddles in the evening. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to enjoy! I have a yard where they can safely run around and play, or just relax on the porch and soak up the sunshine.
“Emily was amazing. She stepped in to watch our house/dog at the last minute and she was so great. Xena clearly had a great week while we were gone because we came home to a very happy and well-regulated pup! We are so grateful.”
About: I have experience dog sitting and walking throughout the past 5 years! I am active and love walking, or hiking with your pups. I am also always there just to make sure they are well fed and taken care of. I am currently working as a teacher 8am - 3pm during the week. I am able to let your pet out in the middle of the day if you live in the Sun Valley area. I have a fenced yard and will take very good care of your home. I pride myself on keeping places better than I found them!

Having lived in this area for nearly a decade, I know the local scene well and enjoy exploring its trails and hidden spots. I’m active, dependable, and adore keeping pets—furry or feathered—happy and cared for while their owners are away. As a remote worker, I’m often around to give your home and animals plenty of attention. Excited to connect and help you travel with ease! Im a remote worker, so pet care comes naturally throughout the day. I also need lots of breaks myself and can take dogs on walks frequently I give my client’s pets the kind of attention I’d give my own. All animals deserve love, attention, good food, lots of walks and lots of cuddles!
About: Ever since I started as a sitter, I have made sure to take care of any pets with great care and attention! All pets under my watch will be fed and played with, loved like they are my own, and that they are healthy once you come home! While I do work full-time, I will make time for any pet in need, whenever you need it!

The average cost of House Sitting in Ketchum is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 per night.

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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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.
