About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—from growing up with family pups to now having one of my own. I truly love being around dogs and building a connection with them. Three years ago I adopted my dog from a shelter, and training him and earning his trust has been such a rewarding experience. It taught me patience and how important it is for dogs to feel safe and understood. I love learning each dog’s unique personality, quirks, and behaviors. When caring for dogs, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pup is being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spend time with and care for your dog with patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability most weekdays. Occasionally I may work one weekday, but my schedule is generally open. I’m available to help with house sitting, drop-ins, or walks during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your home if needed. I will care for your pup the same way you would in your own home. I always follow the routines and instructions you provide so your dog feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to accommodate whatever helps your pup feel at ease.
About: I have had and cared for many different sizes and breeds of dogs my whole life. I am always a pet sitter that my friends and family can count on! I currently work part time as a barista so I always have time to take over when you need the help. You never need to worry about finding someone because I will always show up! My home is 100% pet-proofed. All windows have secure screens and my space is entirely free of toxic plants and chemicals. All cords are safely locked away and I have a quiet, dedicated room where shy fur babies can safely relax at their own pace if needed. My home is completely dog-proofed and secure for apartment living. Because I do not have a yard, all dogs are strictly 100% leashed before opening any doors for outdoor or potty breaks. I also do not care for pets from different families at the same time so there will be no issues during feeding.
“Audrey was great! Roxy warmed up to her really quickly. She was very communicative and send us plenty of photos to show that our pup was having a great time. Would definitely book Audrey as a sitter again!”
“We are so grateful we found Bernadette! This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time with someone outside of the family. I was nervous because our senior dog has doggy dementia and back leg mobility issues, but Bernadette was exceptionally knowledgeable and handled everything so well. Our dog usually gets very distressed while we’re away. However, we came home to find him super calm and relaxed. She kept him wonderful company and gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't recommend her more!”
“This was our very first time with a puppy sitter— on the Rover or otherwise. Emily was an absolute delight with our not-so-easy 10 week puppy and we can’t wait to have her back!!”
“Ariel goes above and beyond with the care of the animals and the upkeep of the house. She communicates very well and sends amazing pictures of the animals. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Emily was so wonderful! Very communicative and I'm super appreciative of her flexibility when I was booking her. My Tuna had a great time. Loved the photos and check-ins I received while I was away. Would love to book her again!”
About: My goal is to create an environment and relationship that makes your life easier and your pup happier. I’m loving, gentle, and patient with all pup ages! I’m available any day of the week. I just ask for a 2 day notice for booking and for canceling. For walks, preferably early morning or evenings (especially in hot days. I want your pup to enjoy their walk, and not be uncomfortable or in pain from the hot pavement) I appreciate your consideration! I adapt to what your puppy is used to. My goal is not to brake their routine. I would like to jump in where you need me to assist and maintain the routine you approve and would like to maintain. I’m here to help you both!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Richard provided for our boys while we were away. He went above and beyond to ensure they were well looked after, and it was clear from the moment we returned that our dogs had bonded with him. They were so attached that they even wanted to follow him when he left! Richard is attentive, reliable, and truly has a way with pups. We felt completely at ease knowing our boys were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Thomas was fantastic! He was kind, patient, punctual, and sweet to our cats and rambunctious pit rescue that is still being housebroken and behind on training. I was concerned about leaving her alone since she has separation anxiety, is still being potty trained, and still learning not to jump on people or playfully bite at them. He gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy a night out while our babies were being cared for. I highly recommend Thomas and will book his services again. <3”

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.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sun Valley is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $93 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 12,948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun 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 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.
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 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!
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 with handling special pet needs in Sun Valley. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
