“Katherine did an amazing job caring for the pups. Making sure they were given a lot of attention love and care. She was able to administer the medication and the pups were super happy! We appreciate you Katherine and will definitely be booking again!”
“Yoo Jee was so great with my dog Curly! She was very responsible and communicative, sent frequent updates, and gave Curly lots of pets and cuddles while I was away.”
“Peanut is so happy to see Margarita when she comes over. She is dependable and has great quick communication. Even when my work plans change last min she is understanding! It’s a joy and relief to have someone like her being able to watch my little puppy with patience :)”
“Gold stars all around. We have a senior cat who is clearly happy when we return home. Our dog is a simple girl and is obviously adored on when we are gone. Couldn’t be happier with Hayley.”
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our boy, Socks! Lane treated him like he was her own and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent us daily updates with the sweetest pictures and kept us informed about everything…from how much he was eating to making sure he got all of his supplements. Socks can definitely be a little stubborn sometimes, so it made us smile when she told us how sweet he was. It was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for with her. We're so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and we can’t wait to book with Lane again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾💕”
“This was the second time ever leaving my dog with someone and I was so blessed to have gotten Niki as a sitter. So grateful she available on Halloween and that she provided the absolute best care. She sent me over a dozen pics and I couldn’t be more thankful! 🙏🏼”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for 2 dogs, Max & Layla that were unwanted and abandoned, both lived long and happy lives under my care, reaching ages 16 & 13. Sadly Max passed away in June of 2017 and Layla passed away in September of 2024 I’m based in North Hollywood and available most afternoons and evenings. I currently work in the health and fitness industry, typically from 5:30am - 1:30pm. Showing up on time and providing excellent care is something I take pride in I spent 20 years taking care of dogs with special needs, I have a lot of experience in keeping both people and pets in a safe and happy environment. My last dog Layla was a troubled rescue from the Los Angeles Animal Shelter I was able to rehabilitate her and give her a wonderful life
About: Animals have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the past 15 years I’ve turned that lifelong love into trusted, hands-on pet care experience. I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means energetic walks, calm companionship, or sticking closely to established routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I am available for walks (long or short) and drop-in visits most days of the week. I am available for overnight stays on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I pay careful attention to instructions left for your pet's care. I make sure your pup goes outside/for walks frequently and that your cat's litter box is clean. I have lots of experience with both puppies/kittens and senior animals, so I can give special care when needed.
About: I have cared for all types of pets and animals! I learned body language from pet sitting and animal watching. Have raised baby chicks, puppies and kittens with love :) I am on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays afternoon but besides that I have open availability for pet care! I am open on weekends if you need to go out for whatever reason! I usually house sit for my clients and watch their pets. If close enough I do walks or check-ins and feed when needed or requested.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood, with most of my experience being with dogs. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m patient and respectful of their needs and boundaries. I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions and routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or simply giving a pet some space when they need it. I currently have open availability, as my college classes are online and I am not currently working another job. This allows me to be flexible with pet-care requests throughout the week. I’m happy to discuss specific schedules and do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their owner’s instructions. I will follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and other care needs. I’m also respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries and will give them space when needed. Whether caring for a pet in my home or the client’s home, I want both the pet and owner to feel comfortable and able to trust me.
“Thomas was fantastic, Very easy to work with and communicate with. He sent pictures and updates everyday. My dog struggles on walks and Thomas really handled the routine and instructions with ease. He spent more than enough time cuddling and hanging out with my dog. Absolutely hope to work with him again.”
About: I grew up with mostly dogs, but also ended up with three cats. I’ve pet sat for family and friends. But more recently have dog sat while my clients were on vacation. They were senior dogs who needed medication and some extra love and care. I’m currently working with children during the day. I am open to evening visits after 6:30pm and my weekends are some what flexible, with enough advance notice I am free to visit or petsit if schedule permits. If I’m going to walk your dog or do a drop in on your kitty. I”ll make sure that I arrive promptly, take them for a walk or check on kitty, feed and give them attention (if they want it it) and provide update. I’ll make sure to be respectful of your space and privacy. When I sit for a family I can do drop ins or spend the night. I’ll walk, cuddle, keep your pet company, and feed them until I have to be at work in the afternoon. I”ll come back after and get back to the routine with walking, feeding, playing whatever your pet may need. I’ll make sure to clean up after my visits and respect your home.
About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible. Sending pictures and/or videos to make you feel like your little ones are still with you and that you haven't missed a beat!
“I think I’ve already left Nare a review, but it bears repeating. She’s great! She takes wonderful care of the critters and they love her to bits. Super communicative and I always rest easy knowing the kids are in very capable hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Valley
Hayley did a great job with my two big fluffy dogs! It was the first time I have gone away in four years because I didn't have someone I was comfortable with watching my dogs Beau and Malibu. It was the first time I have used Rover, and I was happy I have found someone who I can trust with my pups. She was very reliable and communicated with me well with texts and pics. I look forward to having Hayley help out again in the future!
Emily is a fantastic dog sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She stayed at my home for 3 days and took care of my two rambunctious dogs. She was professional, conscientious, responsible, and incredibly communicative throughout her stay, always sending thoughtful updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. She was punctual, attentive, and clearly took excellent care of my dogs, while also being very respectful of my home and leaving it even cleaner than she found it! I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter to care for their pets and home.
This was the first time I used a pet sitter for my cat. Annie was great. My cat is very shy, and Annie found a way to make my cat comfortable and to play with her. Annie provided updates and pics throughout the time, so I was able to relax on my vacation. This was a great experience.
Waldo, my dog, was very comfortable with Adam from our first meet and greet. Waldo actually crawled up behind him in the chair and fell asleep on Adam's shoulder! We knew then that Waldo was in grest hands with Adam. Adam did a wonderful job at house sitting, taking Waldo on walks, and cuddling with him. Adam sent pictures and highlights about each day. When we arrived home, the house was clean and Waldo was a happy dog. I would definitely hire Adam again and highly recommend him to others.
Jade was so lovely and communicative with me while staying with my girls! She was persistent and patient with my kitty who has to take a medicine that she hates and I was so appreciative. She left my space clean and tidy! Overall, it was so lovely being able to travel and trust that Jade was taking fantastic care of my babies!
Katherine was very responsible and thorough. She sent me frequent pictures and updates of my cat while she was staying with her. I felt like Katherine made Cleo her priority for the days she was booked to pet sit and I appreciated the open lines of communication. I did not worry about Cleo's well-being while I was away because I knew she and Katherine became fast friends.
Julia was great with our dog and cat! We were able to fully enjoy our trip away knowing that the pets were taken care of. Julia sent pictures and video a couple of times every day, letting us know that everything was going well. We highly recommend Julia for pet sitting and look forward to working with her again.
Christina was awesome and such a lifesaver. I ended up needing a dog sitter to stay in my apartment for nearly a week very last minute & she was super communicative & trustworthy. She came by before to do a meet & greet & followed all my care instructions perfectly. Arleda enjoyed her time with her and I totally trusted her in my home and with my best girl. She sent photos and updates daily and honestly went above and beyond with loving on my girl. I will definitely book with her again!
Angel did an amazing job watching my pup for 2 days at my place. She kept me up to date throughout each day and sent plenty of photos. I appreciated her responsiveness and Lucky seems to have enjoyed having her around! He received plenty of attention from Angel and kept him great company. My place was in order when I came back and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for another dog/home sitting!
Prescilla is my go-to sitter for my senior cat, Stevie. We’ve done multiple drop-ins and overnights. Always a great experience! Stevie is always happy when I see her again, the house is always tidy, and Prescilla is a great communicator. Easy to book with, very trustworthy!

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 Sun 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 Sun 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 Sun 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!

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 .
