“Hannah was an exceptional pup pal for Rizzo💙and CiCi!🩷 Hannah made sure her stay at my home was all about them… they had dance parties… plenty of snuggles… and I was sent heart warming photos while I was away! It was a delight to have Hannah hang with my furry friends and will definitely request her again! I tipped Hannah in person because I wanted to tell her how much I appreciated her attention to detail. Not only did she take exceptional care of my pups, she also went above and beyond in caring for my home ! Thank you, Hannah! I will be in touch!”

About: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for my family and their friends. With three pets of my own, I’m experienced in caring for animals, especially when my family is away. I’m dependable, loving, and truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. I work three days a week for 5–8 hours, and I have class from 8-11, but outside of that, I’m available to spend quality time with your pet, especially if they like long walks! I’ve been walking dogs since I was young, so I’m comfortable handling energetic pups. I always keep a firm grip on the leash to ensure safety and control. Whether your dog needs exercise in the yard or enjoys time at the dog park, I’m happy to help them burn off some energy!

About: I have a nine-year-old goldendoodle named Indie and have hosted dogs for friends and family. Caring for my own dog has taught me how much patience, attention, and a consistent routine matter. I’ll follow your instructions closely and give your dog plenty of care, companionship, and time to sniff on our walks. I’m new to professional pet care and look forward to getting to know your dog! Pet care is already part of my daily routine with Indie. I’m a college student, so I plan walks and visits around my classes—which are mostly online this semester—and other commitments. I’ll confirm my availability before each booking so your dog gets the time and attention they deserve. I’ll take time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs before caring for them. On walks, I’ll keep them securely leashed and follow your guidance about interactions with other dogs. During home visits, I’ll respect your space, check that doors are secured, and send photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing.

About: I love to play with and see doggies . I'm starting this business because my son and I love dogs so much and we just want to be able to walk or pet some because let's face it it wouldn't be good for the pup with my busy schedule going to college and 2 jobs. I've adored dogs since I was a little girl have opened 4 raised 1 from a puppy (dauschund) rescued one (German Shepard pyraness) great mix by the way. I volunteered at the shelter when I was 12 walking dogs and cleaning kennels . I take care of m cat every day .I brush her , clean out her pet litter , she gets filtered water and Buffalo cat food . I would allow the animal to walk around my home if it was friendly enough too or put them free in the basement w a baby gate up. But we would go for a walk get lots of pets and play w each other if he/ or she wanted too .my cat is friendly w dogs and has her front 2 paws de clawed

About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working full time as a medical assistant. I work Monday-Friday 9-5. Im not always free but willing to work something out so let me know! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

“I was very hesitant on trying this app for our “babies” while we were gone but Leo was awesome and I couldn’t recommend him more! He was very good with communication and what we needed done for the dogs. He always asked if there was more he could do and respectful of our home. I will 100% use him again when needed and would recommend him 10/10. He put me at ease about being away and our animals being able to stay home and be taken care of. Thank you so much Leo, can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you!”

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Spring Valley on Rover is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $49 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 35 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Spring 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
