“Was absolutely spectacular! Kept me up to date with everything. Was quick to respond to communication. I can't say how much I appreciate her being able to do this last minute!”
“Brigit is the BEST! She is my go to when it comes to having someone come and stay at our house and watch our two big dogs. I can be away with so much less stress and not worry.”
“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”
“Marty was an absolute delight! He communicated extremely well, and left the house looking beautiful. Our little dachshund was a happy camper. We look forward to having Marty return!”
“Daniel was wonderful! My 2 little ones loved staying home and being doted on compared to the kennel. They are glad I discovered Rover and Daniel. He shared pictures and details throughout the day which gave me great peace of mind. Daniel was also respectful of my home. I've already booked him for my next trip!”
“Vincent is the absolute best. He is calm, cool, collected and caring. He was flexible with my changing schedule (a few times), and was kind and understanding. He asked great questions about the dog (Skipper), beforehand. He sent me updates each day, and even came up with ideas for how to better get Skipper to take his medicine. I feel so comfortable and happy knowing Vincent was watching my dog (and my house). He is excellent, trustworthy and an all-around cool dude. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
About: I have done lots of long and short house sits over the years love keeping your animals in their routine and make sure they are comfortable while you are away. I currently work full time Monday through Friday but do not mind going for walks, and just being there for your pet in the evening when I am off work. Doing things at your house allows me to let your dogs be in their own environment and stay comfortable do not mind stripping beds and picking up after myself to make sure you come home to a home that is comfortable and not like Goldilocks.
About: Cats tend to trust me because I approach them with a calm, gentle spirit and allow them to connect with me at their own pace. I don’t force affection or treat their care like a checklist—I pay attention to their personality, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. My years of experience have taught me how to recognize when something may be wrong and how to respond calmly and responsibly. I take following instructions, maintaining routines, securing the home, and keeping owners informed very seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love cats and care deeply about their well-being. Every cat in my care will be treated with the same patience, protection, and compassion. I’m available most days and weekends. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Connect with me so we can discuss a schedule that works best for you. I primarily provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes, where cats can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, medication, litter-box care, playtime, companionship, and any special needs. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their cats and homes are being well cared for. References from previous in-home pet-sitting clients are available upon request. I generally do not care for cats in my own home, but I may consider special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. My home has multiple levels, no children, and a securely fenced backyard. I provide grooming services for cats only and on a case by case basis. I do no clip nails. I have years of experience bathing and properly cleaning cats, both my own and strays. I can provide the service for a small fee.
“Cossette was wonderful! She was able to stay overnight and take care of our two frenchies for a few days. She communicated quickly and easily. Having her stay with our babies put our minds at ease while we were away!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”
About: I believe that pets have emotional needs in addition to their physical needs. I love pets and I will care for them like they are my own. I am a student, but I will make sure pets get love and attention in addition to food and exercise. Pet care will always fit into my schedule because the well being and the happiness of your pets are my priority. I recognize that my primary job is to make pets happy and comfortable while their loved ones are gone. I will show them as much love and attention as I can.
“Lotte is great. She watched my minipoodle while I was at work. She is easygoing and made him feel comfortable instantly. My dog was very happy when I got home. I will be reaching out to Lotte again in the future.”
“Greg was patient with both me and the boisterous beasts. He looked after the gardens, the dogs, the pond, the fish, and our sensibilities. If you have a complicated situation like ours Greg is a super good fit. Highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life! I’ve been part of their entire life journey, from newborn pups to senior dogs, and I love them all! I also have a special place in my heart for cats! I currently balance work and school, but I always love making time for our furry friends! I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until around 6 PM, and I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 3:30 PM. I also occasionally work weekends. My work schedule varies from week to week, so my availability may change. However, I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work for everyone! I’m also available for evening visits and overnight stays when my schedule allows. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine! Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or staying overnight, my goal is to make sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! I also understand the importance of respecting your home and following any specific instructions you provide. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates and pictures while you’re away. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for with patience, kindness, and lots of love!
“Christina was great! From the moment she first met with my four large dogs you could tell that she is very experienced and comfortable with animals. That energy led to the dogs warming up to her immediately. She showed up on time and sent updates and photos throughout the stay. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a medical student who has dogs at home and would love to share my love while in school to your own fur babies! My clinical schedule is currently flexible, so I am free on most days of the week for a majority of the day to care for your babies! I ensure that I am treating your fur babies as my own. I meticulously watch over them and provide constant communication to ensure that you know your babies are safe and happy!
About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Valley
August did a terrific job taking care of our neurotic golden retriever Blue. She made a real effort to connect with Blue and did a great job taking care of her. It was also nice and reassuring to get regular text updates and pics of Blue. We highly recommend August and will certainly hire her again to take care of our dog!
Paulina was absolutely PERFECT! I've had sitters in several states and she is at the TOP! Dogs LOVED her! House and dogs were very well cared for. My little dog is 15+ and totally blind and everything was perfect for him and my very active White Shepherd! Will definitely have her sit for us again!
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.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Valley is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $64 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 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 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.

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.
