“Elaine was beyond fantastic. We have a 9-month-old Westie that we have not left with anyone since we got her at Thanksgiving. We were very nervous trying to find a suitable person to watch Cotton. Not only would we be leaving her for the first time, but our trip to Europe was for a month. Elaine went out of her way to assure us and ease Cotton into a smooth transition. Elaine sent us many cute pictures during our journey, and we could see by the pictures that Cotton had found a second home. Now, if we have to travel again, we know we have found a wonderful person to care for our Girl. We highly recommend Elaine.”
“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”

I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my ability to cater to pets of all ages and needs, including providing patient care for senior pets and gentle, consistent training for puppies.

I’m a coach during the middle of the day, but mornings and nights i’m available. I’m also usually completely open on weekends. I can adjust to your schedule as needed.

“Crystal is wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy & has excellent communications! We felt at ease leaving for a couple of nights knowing our fur babies were home being loved on 🐶🐕✨”
About: I’ve taken care of my own chihuahua since I was 12, but since moving to the US I couldn’t have any pets at home due to family member’s preference, I would love to have the chance to care for other people’s dogs! I’m currently staying at home growing my small business, and I have taekwondo classes every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm. On my free days I’m able to commit to caring for pets, but will not be available from 6PM onwards. I love being around dogs very much, and really love taking care of them, I’m very hands on with my past chihuahuas and love cuddling them so much.
“Rhondee was amazing! She took excellent care of pups. They were happy and looked great when I got home from my vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
“Robert was great with our elderly dog who is both a picky eater and refuser of his medications. He was very patient, sending us frequent updates and we felt very comfortable that he would be able to handle any unforeseen issues. Robert has a calming energy, and our dog was definitely beginning to warm up to him after a few days together. We look forward to booking with Robert again soon :)”
“Erica was amazing. We found her last minute when our faithful pet sitter was out of town, and she quickly stepped in to help. She came to our home, met little Missy, and took wonderful care of her. Erica kept us updated with photos and let us know how Missy was doing throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Our dogs loved Kimberly from the moment that they met here. She is truly the best sitter for two dogs with way different personalities. She kept in touch with darling photos, and the dogs were sorry to see her leave. Our house was spotless and the bed linens were changed. We are so grateful to be able to leave our four legged family with such a wonderful kind person. We can't thank her enough.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sky Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 515 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sky 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 Sky 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 Sky 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 Sky 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.
