“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
About: I recently cared for a new born American Pit Bull Terrier, and 16 year old black American shorthair cat. The experience/care for both animals has helped me understand and appreciate a pet owners everyday task. There is so much sacrifice, dedication, and love that animals need on a daily basis. I would like to alleviate the daily stress that some pet owners may encounter while trying to juggle life, work, and caring for their animals. I have recently been laid off due to covid-19 pandemic. I now have an open schedule, please send me all your fur request. I cant wait to meet them! I care for animals in the same way I care for humans. Animals feel and think in similar ways that we do. Knowing and understanding a animals personality will only make my care for them more enjoyable.
“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs for the majority of my life, including 4 years with two dogs under the same roof. I have experience helping raise a doggo from 2 months old through end-of-life care, giving me experience with the different stages of a dog’s life. Big or small, short or tall, I’m comfortable caring for friendly and curious dogs of all breeds. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets over the past 3 years. I’ll follow your four-legged friend’s routine and instructions, spend time playing with them, earn their trust, and make sure they get their walks and activity. My goal is to provide your dog with safety, comfort, companionship, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I hope to meet your four-legged friend soon! I am currently working overnights and attending school full-time during the day. My availability is rather consistent and goes as follows: Weekends: 8AM—8PM Wednesdays: 7PM-10PM Thursdays & Fridays: 8AM—8PM If you are interested in any hours outside of those listed, feel free to reach out and inquire, thank you in advanced and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, secure doors and gates, and provide updates before & after walks and visits. I understand every dog is different and will take the time to build trust at their own pace! They will always be treated with patience, respect, and responsibility!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around animals!

Expect plenty of belly rubs, lots of affection and photo updates! Every pet is treated like my own little guy at home ☺️ I am currently a college student who is also working part-time, im used to managing my schedule in order to fit around all my responsibilities. I love to spend time with animals, I have my own at home so I understand what it's like to needing that extra care for our animals especially when we have our own responsibilities outside of them. Im here to give your pets the time they need whether that be through time, attention, exercise, or whatever care they need. Im committed to being a reliable and consistent care for each pet I look after! I try to focus on making your pets comfortable and as close to their routine as possible due to the change in caretaking, I understand the affects it can have on our animals when there is change in their routine. I will make sure they have food on schedule, fresh water, playtime, as well as attention. Any specific instructions given by the owner will be tended to, I will also make sure photos and updates are sent in order to keep a peace of mind with leaving your pets in my care :)
About: I love animals so much! I have experience caring for dogs, feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them safe, happy and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time while attending college! I have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to care for your fur pets.

About: growing up on a farm I've always been closer to my dogs and puppies. Not only do they learn from us but I've realized that we learn from them as well. How to be a better companion and a caring parent to them as well. Dogs need a lot of affection and attention as well as we do. They show us to go out more and enjoy life, literally spending more time with dogs and puppies enhances your ability to be less stressed. All in all dogs are the best! I live in a fenced house that is an acre long and a non busy street with trails right behind, so there is no excuses for our companions to get into any trouble. I’m ready to love your pet as much as you are!
“Amanda did a great job taking care of my 7 month old bernadoodle. She also took care of my home and garden. I would highly recommend her services! I loved that she sent me pictures of my baby!”
“Cindy watched our dogs and house for a few nights while we were on vacation. Our dogs and home were very well cared for. I appreciate how communicative she is and will continue to use her. We appreciate her so much!”
“Paris did a wonderful job with our fur babies Bodhi and Ashley! She kept in regular contact and sent us photos and updates. It’s always hard to leave them but she helped us feel reassured that they were in good hands. Thank you, Paris!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals. With years of pet ownership, I’ve honed my skills in training and caring for my own dogs. Though I lack formal professional experience, my journey truly began in 2019 when I welcomed my German Shepherd. I was committed to his training and enrolled him in boot camp, followed by ongoing socialization efforts. Additionally, I've cared for my own pets and stray cats, ensuring their well-being. My experience makes me a reliable and nurturing pet sitter, dedicated to the happiness and safety of your pets. I'm currently a student, with my semester concluding for the spring and resuming in the fall. Until then, I am available with flexible hours and can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. During May through summer, my availability will increase, allowing for even more flexibility. I'm here to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve at times that work best for you! I believe that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. My approach includes understanding the unique needs of each animal, whether it's a specific diet, exercise routine, or special medical considerations. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. My experience with my own pets and local strays has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and playtime in building trust. I aim to provide not just basic care, but a nurturing experience that keeps them happy and healthy.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for many different kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles and farm animals. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, large breeds, seniors, newborns requiring bottle-feeding, and animals with disabilities or special needs. I also have experience fostering dogs and kittens, as well as providing attentive care to animals requiring medications and critical, around-the-clock care. My farm experience has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of animals and understand their different needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, nervous, recovering, or needs extra attention, I’m dedicated to providing patient, loving, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3:30 PM. I’ll be happy to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I have an apartment with plenty of space where I’m accompanied by two friendly kittens who are fully vaccinated and have no exposure to other animals or the outdoors. I regularly clean and disinfect my home to maintain a safe, sanitary environment. I also have plenty of nearby hiking and walking areas for pets who enjoy outdoor activities. My apartment community offers dog parks separated by size, providing a safe place for dogs to exercise and socialize. For cats and other animals, I’m patient and gentle when building trust. If a pet needs to be separated from my own animals, I can provide a separate, comfortable space and make sure they receive the individual attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their established routines and care instructions. This can include crate training, scheduled bathroom breaks, physical activity, feeding times, medication administration, and other necessary care procedures. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and on the routine they are familiar with while their owners are away.
“Not only did angel help me out by babysitting a bit last minute. She was extremely attentive, sent me so many pictures and Maya had a blast. Would absolutely recommend especially since my girl is more of a hyper pup and Angel handled her with ease 🥹❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,868 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
