“Tatiana went above and beyond taking care of our dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention, gave consistent updates, and took very good care of my home. I would recommend her to anyone in need of dog sitting services.”
“Lilian is our go-to sitter. She goes above and beyond every single time; some of my favorite pics of the pets are from her updates during her stay. My animals love her, and they are all excited to see her when she gets to the house. I would recommend her 10/10 every time!”
“Second time we have asked Regina to come and watch the doggos for us. Once again she has exceeded expectation. I can't stress enough how well she takes care of the dogs, gives them a ton of attention, and continues to take them through their routines while we are gone. If available, we will always reach out to Regina to watch the pups. Everyone here is a huge fan of her!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.
About: I’ve worked with and lived around dogs nearly my whole life. I’ve helped my grandpa with his dog grooming shop over the summers and cared for family dogs including things like walking, training, grooming, and feeding when necessary. I work a part time job that can get quite busy sometimes, but no stress! your pet will always come first to an extra double shift. My schedule comes out weekly, so some things may change from time to time but it is a priority to not let that get in the way of any pet care. I am open on the weekends during the afternoon, easy for drop-ins or quick walks! I have a nice big fenced backyard, perfect for any dog not big on walks or dog parks. I have two dogs, one big, one little. the little is amazing company and goes along with whatever the vibe is. She could be a great buddy for your pup to go on a play date with! The big one may be a bit reactive at first, no aggression just barking and anxiety that usually goes away after a while, but she usually prefers to be alone. Because of this I am looking for jobs other than boarding for the most part. I have a small crate in my car for safe travel with little dogs, so driving around or going out to a specific location for a field trip is an option for puppies and small breeds!
“My two boys (a golden retriever and a goldendoodle) seemed to love their time with Brooke. She sent daily pictures and walked the dogs frequently while keeping the house in great shape. Highly recommend her.”
“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”
“Greg spent three weeks at our house looking after our beautiful dog Misty. Greg was wonderful, he cherished and cared for Misty as if she were his own. He also looked after the house, and kept us informed with pictures, videos, and texts, we have no complaints. I highly recommend Greg; you will not be disappointed.”
“Tessa did a fantastic job with my three dogs. She communicated daily and sent pictures which was reassuring. She was responsive to my requests to help with watering plants and bringing in mail. I will definitely book Tessa again. She is a wonderful dog & house sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of various types of animals so I know how to make sure everything is comfortable for them and they feel at peace I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to walk, play and care for animals of others. Can’t wait to start! I do not have a fenced yard, I also have two dogs and two cats who are all very friendly with other animals to keep our guest company and entertained. I can crate or separate your furry friend from my own if needed.
“Marty is awesome! He has now stayed with our pups on multiple occasions and has done a great job. He is very trustworthy and respectful of our home and dogs. He has been able to connect with our very hyper girls and understands their need to be active. He reaches out to us just to let us know the dogs are doing well while we're away. He gives us peace of mind while traveling knowing our dogs are safe and being taken care of. That is priceless! Thank you for all of your help, Marty! We highly recommend Marty to anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy and in tune with your pets!”
“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!”
“Seven took great care of my two Siberian Huskies and my home. From the moment I met Seven he was very kind and laughed easily, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pups and home in his care while I went on a Valentines gettaway with my family. He was very patient when I was still packing after he arrived. He took my dogs for walks, one at a time, even when it was raining. My home was clean when I got home and the dishwasher was emptied. I loved the pics he sent too! One of my dogs usually howls a lot when I let them in from outside, but he was pretty quiet. Which let me know he was content and had spent time with Seven. Thank you very much!! I would hire Seven again, and recommend him. He's a wonderful pet sitter!”
“August did a great job taking care of my dog, Ellie. August was great at keeping me updated and sending me pictures to let me see how well Ellie was doing. I could tell my shy rescue felt safe and comfortable around them. I would happily have August sit for Ellie again, they are awesome.”
“Brianna is the best! I immediately felt her sweet and warm energy and so did my dog. My dog loved her as soon as they met and had an amazing time with her. Brianna was excellent with her communication, she provided lots of photos and updates and I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was being attended to with love and care.”
“Colleen was amazing with our dogs and our home. She took care of our pups as if they were her own! Colleen sent pictures and communicated with us frequently and replied to our texts promptly.”

Tatiana was an absolute delight and best sitter for my big baby!! She was efficient, cleanly, and so so sweet to Castle. He is a mastiff with special food, potty, and slobber instructions, and especially needs someone around with him, and Tatiana went above and beyond. I couldn’t be more thankful for a perfect sitter that kept in contact, followed all instructions to the tea, and treated my doggo as her own. Thank you again Tatiana, we appreciate all that you do!
Regina did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. I received daily updates with pictures of the cats. She was on top of everthing that needed to be done. One of my cats need medication 3 times a day. Regina didn't miss a beat. She adminstered the pill with no problem. She did have a difficulty on one occasion. I told here if she misses one medication the world would not end. It meant a lot to me that she let me know. Overall Regina did an amazing job. I would absolutely provide a good review should someone show interest in having Regina pet sit.
Regi did an amazing job taking care of our boys for 5 days while we were out of town. She gave our elderly diabetic cat his insulin shots and was attentive to his meal schedule to make sure he was eating enough for his medicine. She was also great with feeding our picky Shih Tzu pup. Regi had excellent and frequent communication and asked us questions if anything seemed off with the boys. We came home to happy healthy boys and a tidy house and will definitely be having her sit for us again in the future. Thanks so much, Regi!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Valley on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 642 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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.
