About: Volunteered at a vet clinic & pet sat for friends and family & discovered the joy of comforting pets when they're feeling anxious and home sick. I am pursuing a master's in computer science at UNM, and my schedule can be flexible. I will be home for the most part, but if I ever need to step away it's only for a couple hours. My boyfriend and I work as a team in caring for our dogs, and we do the same for our clients. It's normal for your pet to feel homesick, so we do our best to make them feel like they are at home and give them the quality time and affection they are used to from their loved ones ❤️ Baxter is 9 yo pit mix & Chiqui is an 8 yo Pomeranian/chihuahu. We have a small fenced yard and a kennel that Baxter uses for whenever we have to leave the house to run errands. Our dogs sleep in their beds upstairs in our bedroom, and we set up your pet's bed next to us as well. We typically ask clients to bring their pet's bed or crate/kennel and a blanket or toy they like to cuddle with to remind them of home 🤍 If you could also pack their food, food bowl, and leash for their stay, that would be great! 🐾
About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I regularly pet sit a boxer and bearded dragon monthly on top of my animals that I already have. I am able to drop in or stay the night as needed. I have a large fenced in yard where my great Pyrenees is able to roam freely. My cats have a large cat tree crates throughout the house that they can lay in if they choose. they also roam around the house they do not go outside. All of my animals have lots of enrichment.
“Brigit is the BEST. We have had her house sit with our dogs multiple times and we have been so grateful. She’s the sweetest person and i know she’s taking care of my dogs. We never have to worry when we are out of town. I got a ton of packages delivered while she stayed and she was amazing and made sure all of them were inside even though they were VERY heavy. We will continue to use Brigit anytime we need a dog/house sitter.”
“Luca did a great job pet sitting for us. He followed our directions, took great care of the house and was very caring with our 2 dogs. We appreciated that he sent pictures and updates about how our pups were doing. He watered plants and walked the dogs too. We will use Luca again.”
“Faris was absolutely amazing. Communication was top tier. He sent pictures and videos throughout the night and I could see how passionate he is about animals. I 100% recommend. I’ll be sure to book him again if I ever need his services.”
“My husky Koda, who is slow to warm up and suspicious of new people, absolutely loved Lauren! Her gentle demeanor was just what he needed, and I came home to a calm, happy dog.”
“We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!”
“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”
“Shakti is an amazing pet/house sitter! She is responsive and thorough, and she took great care of our dog and two cats. She followed instructions and went above and beyond by trying to mediate the ongoing drama we have between our two cats. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Michelle did an excellent job of caring for our Labrador and two cats in our home. She was very communicative and kept in touch with us the whole 10 days we were gone. She sent photos and little updates. She made sure the dog got regular walks, even taking him hiking one day! She also left the house spotless. She really went above and beyond! She clearly loves and cares for animals! Trustworthy , dependable and she’s great to work with! I highly recommend her!”
“Marcus was fantastic. His communication is stellar and he answered all my questions and eased my nerves as this was my first time using Rover. He came over and met my dogs beforehand and I immediately felt comfortable and confident having him in my home taking care of my 3 dogs. My dogs were well taken care of by Marcus and I look forward to knowing I have a great person to watch them. I received sweet pictures and an update on how each one did during their time together. A huge thank you to Marcus.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Kat was amazing at house & pet sitting. She was very communicative, sent pics and updates appropriately, and left our pets happy and home just as it was before she arrived. I highly recommend her!”
“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”
“Martina jumped in literally in the hours before I was leaving as my other sitter cancelled very last minute. Martina was attentive to all the needs of my very elderly cat, gave him his meds, cared for him as if her own. She left my house in really good condition and tidy/clean after an 11-day stay!”
“Misty was wonderful! She was available for my last minute request and Luna seemed to love her. She followed all my directions and even cleaned up a little:) Misty was very outgoing and I 100% will use her in the future”
“Grace was available last minute for pet sitting in my house, and was very accommodating for my open-ended return. She sent pictures and good updates daily. The house looked great when I returned and my dog was very relaxed - I could tell she had enjoyed her stay with Grace and that Grace had treated her very well. I can recommend Grace for your peace of mind while you are away.”
“Marty is a God-send. I hesitate to write this glowing review for fear that he will get really busy and won't be available when we need him. That being said -- Marty stepped in when we had only had our sweet pup for a week. He stayed for 4 days and was a great communicator while we were away -- he passed along everything he was observing with our new dog (the good, the bad and the ugly). Our pooch has some trust issues but he came around to Marty and they were best buds by the end of the trip. We knew both of our pets would be in great hands (our cat, too!) based on all of the previous reviews and Marty proved all of it to be true. We will be using him again in the future.”

Abby did a great job caring for our cat and dog for four days. She even kept all our plants alive and thriving! We also had a concern about a potential water leak, which she made the time to address right away. We returned to a happy home and happy pets. Would highly recommend!
CK took excellent care of our little dogs and our house. It made such a difference in our going away. We didn’t have to worry about anything. When you see Kay was there and was taking care of everything. The doggies just loved her and she sent us pictures. She’s just the best.
We were a bit nurvous leaving our pups, River and Ollie, with someone new but Nick was great with them both! He took great care of them, feeding twice a day and giving River her daily medication. Nick even gave River a bath after an unfortunate run-in with a skunk. He sent regular updates and pictures so we knew how things were going. Everything was great when we got back, the dogs were happy and he even kept the house very clean, bonus! We normally have family watch our dogs but will definately use Nick again when family does not work out.
We were so grateful that Daniel was able to watch our dog on such short notice! He did a great job with our dog who has severe separation anxiety! He is a great conversationalist and we felt comfortable having him at our house. We look forward to having him watch our dog in the future!
Cannot recommend Lily highly enough! Communicative and went out of her way to make sure she had everything she needed before house/pet sitting. She made my travels so much easier knowing everyone was well cared for. Came home to happy pets and a well cared for space. Thank you thank you!!
Teresa was so great staying with our dog. He’s kind of a goofy guy. And she just came in and handled him very well. And for us she was so good at keeping us updated and with pictures. Our house looked perfect when we returned. I am grateful it all went so well.
We hired Keri to pet/house sit for us while we were away over a 2 week period. I could not be more thrilled with her work! All 4 of my pets adored her. Keri sent so many pictures and videos. I never had to worry about how they were doing. I loved seeing all the fun they were having, especially the wonderful walks my dog got to go on. Keri left our house in amazing condition. Everything was clean including fresh bed linens on the bed she used. She even left a note detailing what pet supplies we needed to replenish soon. It made coming home so easy. The pets were excited to see us, but didn't freak out and get overwhelmed when we walked through the door. That was a sign to me that they had been thoroughly taken care of and loved while we were gone.
Shakti is an amazing pet/house sitter! She is responsive and thorough, and she took great care of our dog and two cats. She followed instructions and went above and beyond by trying to mediate the ongoing drama we have between our two cats. We will definitely use her services again!
Amie was amazing! Very communicative and quick with responses. She was very thorough when meeting the dogs which made us feel at ease. I have a generally anxious dog that I’ve never left with anyone else and Amie was able to make her feel comfortable and work with her. I really appreciated the frequent updates and picture of my dogs while I was away. Definitely will be using her in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Valley on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
