“Madison was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone. She stayed at our home for two weeks and took great care of our older dog and our cat. She is quick to answer any questions, sent us adorable updates, and took wonderful care of our home during a flood watch. She loved our animals so well and it provided such peace of mind while we were away. You shouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her.”
“Daryia is the sweetest person ever!! She was amazing with our sweet dog and took such good care of him. Our dog is older and has a few heath issues and Daryia put so much thought and care into making sure he was okay. I can’t recommend Daryia enough!!”
“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Azure was awesome: we had a thorough meet & greet, there were plenty of updates during her house sitting stay, and both our dogs and our house were well-cared for. 10/10 recommend!”
“Charles was beyond amazing with my animals! Super accommodating and followed directions well. Maven is a stranger reactive dog and quickly got along well with Charles after a rough first few seconds of introduction. He took such good care of my house in addition to two dogs and two cats.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was young, from my own, to watching others. Ive previously had friends and family who I would regularly dogsit for. My previous roommate had a puppy who is now three! He’s my little baby, I was one of his moms until he was about 2 1/2! With that said I helped all throughout the puppy stage and miss it every day! I also have experience with the reactive pets as my childhood dog was a rescue with an aversion to new people. I do currently have a full time job, but with a quiet life style. I work from 7-3 Fri/Sat, and 8-4 Sun-Tues. I am available anytime after my shifts! I’m available for boarding on my weekends, Wednesday and Thursday. I live downtown with easy access to long walks and can be crated if needed! I have plenty of time outside of work for cuddles and/or adventures for your baby!
“Natalie is a wonderful dog/house sitter. She is very mature and responsible and can be relied on to do what she says she will. She is a great communicator who responds to texts/call promptly. Her love for animals is obvious, and my Boston loves her, especially posing for all the photos Natalie takes and sends while I'm away. She left my home in great shape. You won't find better!”
“I would recommend Meagan to anyone looking for someone who is a great communicator and genuinely cares about your pets! She was reliable, kind, and sent very cute and reassuring photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jessica is a great sitter for my higher maintenance old dogs. She is good with communication, checking items and asking questions. On top of that, I think the kitchen was cleaner than before she arrived! Highly recommended.”
“We had Ron stay at our house and care for our dog, Ruby. Ruby was well taken care of, and the house was immaculate upon our return. I would definitely recommend Ron for caring for your animals.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life, including large breeds, senior dogs and puppies, dogs with strong or sensitive temperaments or prey drive. I take a calm, observant approach and adjust to each dog’s needs and routine. I’m very comfortable with medication administration, senior and puppy care, and helping dogs settle when their owners are away. I’m steady, reliable, and prepared to handle the small things that come up so your pets stay safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of many temperaments, including shy or cautious dogs or cats who need a quiet, patient approach. I keep routines consistent, handle feeding and litter care thoroughly, and pay close attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m comfortable with medication administration and with giving pets space if or when they need it. My goal is to keep things calm, predictable, and clean while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize a calm, predictable routine. I follow your instructions closely, secure doors and gates, check water levels, and monitor behavior for anything unusual. I’m comfortable with medication administration, senior needs, and basic first-aid situations. I don’t bring my own dogs to visits, and I avoid dog parks or interactions that would expose your pet to harm or unnecessary risk. I emphasize daily enrichment. My focus is on keeping your pets safe, settled, and well-attended to while you're away. I take keeping your home secure seriously.
“Kathryn was fantastic! She watched our dog, Oakley, for 4 days and treated our home with total respect. Our dog immediately warmed up to Kathryn at our meet and greet and was very excited to see her when she arrived to start her sitting. She showed up on time, was great at communicating, and provided daily pics (which we really appreciated). We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. We would certainly book with her again.”
“Kelcy is amazing with Ru. She's a great communicator and works collaboratively to problem solve when Rufus doesn't want to walk or listen. I trust her in my home and with my dog, and am so grateful I found her!”
“Our dog, Kacey was in great hands with Halle. He was his usual happy self when we got home. Halle took Kacey on daily walks and snuggled with him just like we do! Halle sent photos and communicated with us daily. She left our house just as we left it for her, neat and tidy. We are already booking Halle for an upcoming trip!”
About: I have dog walking and sitting experience for giant all the way down to miniature breeds. I also have a lot of experience with multi-dog households. I adore all animals but dogs have my whole heart and you can place full trust in me to do right by your dog. I am a college student so when I am not actively attending class on campus, I can be with your pet. I am very active and am happy to run, walk, or take your pet to the park frequently. As I live in an apartment with roommates and a cat that is not my own, I don’t plan to take your pet to my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sudden Valley
Desmond was the absolute best with my two rescue dogs. He was patient with them and met them where they were at. They warmed up to him very quickly :) He took great care of them (and my home) while he house sat. Great communication as well, 10/10 will book him again!
Don is the nicest and most thoughtful sitter. We trust him in our home with our fur babies! It’s really a relief to have him be our recurring sitter when we have to go out of town. When we come home the dogs are happy to see us but not overly so, which we understand to mean that they were well cared for.
We just had Philip watch our three dogs for the second time and he was wonderful. He provided pictures and updates, which I love to get. When we returned, he had watered all of my outdoor gardens and the dogs were happy and relaxed. Yay! Definitely would ask Philip to take care of our pups again.
We had a great experience working with Jordis. She was great with the dogs (two St Bernards and one who needs multiple eye drops daily), a good communicator, and was respectful of our home. She accommodated a fairly last minute request for care around the 4th of July and was flexible at we delayed our departure bc of an issue with our home. We'd be happy to work with Jordis again.
Matt did an excellent job of caring for our dog and home while we were away for a week. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a clean home! We were very comforted to receive Matt's daily updates detailing Stella's activities and care accompanied by photos/video. We would LOVE to have Matt dog/housesit again for us and we highly recommend him!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sudden Valley is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $105 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Sudden 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 Sudden 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 Sudden 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
