“My granddaughter suggested I get on Rover to find a sitter for my reactive rescue dog Mellow, because I was going out of town to get married and everyone who Mellow knew would not be available to sit with him. I reluctantly filled out the ROVER app., doubting that I'd find a good fit for him. But Jessica proved me wrong! At first we did a weekly "drop in" visit with Mellow being in his cage. Jessica and I took the time to get to know eachother. The first couple of times I was confident that Jessica wouldnt think "that it was a good fit. Again, she proved me wrong. Eventually he fell in love with her, couldn't wait to have his visits with her. While Jessica would be with Mellow she always sent me picutes and wonderful "reports." I will definitely use her as often as her schedule allows. This anxious mom of a anxious dog can't thank this patient, gentle, kind woman enough. She's a Rock Star*****”

About: What sets us apart is our dynamic as a dedicated sitters duo. With two pairs of hands, your pet gets double the attention, playtime, and walks. Because we don't have our own pets yet, your furry family member receives 100% of our focus and undivided love. We treat your home and pets with the ultimate care, ensuring a safe, personalized, and incredibly fun stay every single time. I currently work in a pet friendly office or have the flexibility to work from home if needed. I typically get home from in office work days around 5:30-6pm but that can be flexible if needed. I’m home most weekends and can care for your furry friends throughout the duration of the weekend. I live within a community that is within half a mile of a very large park! I also can travel to your home and have a ton of flexibility with whatever care your pet(s) need!

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a friendly mini golden doodle, I specialize in dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, and care. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your furry friend. Pet-friendly and full of love, I'll give your dog the attention and care they deserve! I'm currently working full time but Monday-Friday I'm available after 5. Depending on how early, I can do the morning on weekdays too. I’m available all day and night on weekends. When I am with your pet, it will be loved all the way until you return. There are already dogs that live with me, and they will learn to love your dogs. There isn't a fenced in area, but I always have the dogs on a leash and watch them carefully.

“We hired Nimo to house sit our cat for nine days. She is a joy to work with. She took great care of our cat. She followed our instructions, responded to our messages, and sent us loads of adorable pictures of our cat. We could tell that she loves animals. We feel comfortable trusting her with our cat and would recommend her to anyone!”

“I can not recommend Lauren enough. She was incredibly attentive to my pets. My dogs absolutely loved her, they were looking for her when we got back, and even this morning. My chinchilla has some new found confidence as well because of her. I am just honestly blown away by her care for animals and the communication is by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Look no farther, she will be the first person I will reach out to, to watch my dogs from now on. Kennels no more!!”

“Tabby was an exceptional house/dog sitter who accepted a last minute request for Thanksgiving week. I was thankful the previous dog sitter cancelled b/c I am so fortunate to find her. She would send daily updates, ask thoughtful questions and so many other little things that really added up (collecting mail, keeping up with my Xmas countdown, making the bed to it looked like a hotel bed, leaving the house looking as if no one was there at all). See? She was all around the perfect dog sitter. On top of all of that I felt so comfortable with her. She has a way of making you feel like you’ve known her a lot longer than you have. It was refreshing to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away for Thanksgiving. I can’t say enough good things about her! 10/10 recommend and will absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds and know firsthand the love and attention they need. From my first dog, Francis—a loyal Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix who was part of the family for 16 years—to Olivia, a playful Boxer mix who brought joy for 9 years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities and health needs. Now, I’m lucky to share my life with Lulu, a 3-year-old Staffy and Pitbull mix. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I make sure there’s time for walks, play, meals, and plenty of love every day. I’m used to paying attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s some extra energy to burn or just some chill cuddle time. Basically, I fit pet care into my routine because I genuinely enjoy hanging out with dogs and making sure they’re happy. I live in a quiet apartment with my dog Lulu, which provides a calm and safe environment for pets. I’m also close to several parks with plenty of space for walks and playtime, so your fur baby will get lots of exercise and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or during in-home visits, I always make sure water is available and follow feeding routines tailored to your dog’s needs. I take pride in giving attentive walks, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep your dog happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have been watching dogs and cats full time since 2016. I am a housewife with 17years experience caring for my own dog. My children are animal lovers too. Right now we have a Central American Wood Turtle, a Leopard Gecko and Hermit Crabs. Also, in college I studied animal behavior. I love all animals and have had many different kinds of pets. I can watch farm animals such as chickens, ducks, goats,rabbits, and pigs. In addition, I can watch your pet at your place. I am trust worthy and neat. Finally, I am responsible and I will treat your dog like it is my own. Right now I am currently open from 5:40 to 9 pm. Please ask if you need to schedule a different time which most of the time I can be accommodating. I have a high fenced in yard that we check frequently. I can easily crate your dog if I go to walk other dogs or do drop in visits.

Rachel was great to work with on Finn’s first stay. She kept me up to date on his activities and shared videos and photos. She made sure to understand his routine and follow his needs. Gave him lots of attention through play, walks and cuddles. Everything at home is the way I left it and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience and highly recommend.

Hailee is incredible! Did a great job taking care of our girl and keeping us updated throughout our time away! We loved hearing all the updates and seeing all the pictures! We felt like our house was safe and even more importantly, our girl was safe! Leaving your house and pet in the hands of a complete stranger is hard but Koda does best at home when we go away. We loved knowing that Hailee took time everyday to play and engage with koda. It made us so happy. She really went above and beyond. Kept to koda’s schedule and kept our home clean! We will 💯 use Hailee again if she available!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ore Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ore Valley is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $67 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,333 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ore 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 Ore 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 Ore 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 Ore 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ore Valley. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
