“Kat was great. She watched my senior dog + puppy for 6 days. She took my puppy on walks, gave my senior dog her meds & kept in communication with me about all their feedings, walks, and activities! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. I currently only have 1 but at my previous apartment me and my room mates had 4 large dogs in total! I volunteered at my local animal shelter when I lived in northern California as well so your pup is in good hands! I am very open on weekends and my work schedule will be changing during the week so I will have more availability soon! I am a very active person so your dog will never be bored! Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for animals. Whether at my home or yours, I maintain a secure, hazard-free environment and strictly follow your specific instructions. I am experienced with crate training if your dog prefers a private space, and ensure all interactions with other pets are fully supervised, controlled, and safe.
“We just took our first family vacation since pre-pandemic, and it was a huge relief to leave our furbabies in Kim's loving care. She stayed overnight for a whole week with our pup and senior kitty. I was worried about our cat turning 19 while we were away because he was losing weight before our trip. When we returned, he had gained weight, and he looked healthier. Kim has a magic touch! She also cared for our guinea pigs, which are rather high maintenance, so I am very appreciative of her dedication to them. I'm so glad we found Kim so we have a trusted sitter for our next trip.”
“Thank goodness for Grace! She is the dream pet sitter. She was so helpful, communicative, and most importantly made me feel so much better about leaving my kitty. So grateful for her!”
“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! 🐾💕”
“First time I’ve had Keri for house sitting duties and she did an amazing job. Nyxie received her proper schedule of care with multiple walks and play sessions each day. My home was left tidy and cared for just as I had left it for her prior to my departure. I came home to a happy and healthy doggo and Keri kept me updated with great communication throughout. Definitely going to use her services again.”
“Jade was so wonderful and communicative! I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing that she was taking such good care of my babies, including giving them the medicine they needed! Cannot wait to ask Jade to watch my animals again in the future!”
“Catherine was awesome! My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and I could tell that she was able to calm him down. Mochi and Catherine seemed to really enjoy each others company and that always makes me happy 😊 will be hiring again!”
About: I’m patient, caring, and bring genuine love to every pet I care for. I know that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and provide care. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies and adult dogs. I also enjoy keeping kittens and cats happy and engaged through playtime, cuddles, and a clean litter area. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions from pet parents. In 2018, I adopted my first cat from Best Friends where I’ve volunteered on and off since. In 2025, I did a short term foster with a sweet dog from the Easy Valley Shelter which then led me to foster a second pet who I have since adopted. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I’m currently a grad student pursing a Masters in LMFT through an online program, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I’m available Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and Sundays 8am-5pm! I follow their normal routine, keep a close eye on them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I also respect each client’s home and follow instructions carefully.
“Hayley was so great with our kitty! Our girl Sadie was recovering from a spay surgery and Hayley listened to exact instructions and was very comfortable giving our kitty her pain medication. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi! I’ve been watching friends’ and family’s pets for about 8 years now, and I genuinely love getting to hang out with animals. I have two cats of my own, but I’ve always been a huge dog person too. I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pets and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually accommodate different pet care needs. I do have occasional meetings throughout the day, but otherwise I’m free and able to give your pet plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to work around your preferred routine as much as possible! I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m attentive to their needs, communicative with you, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your furry friend is doing well. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own.
“Dylan was a dream dog sitter! He came right on time, took great care of the dog and had great respect for our home. He sent tons of pics and gave a daily update. He gave our elderly dog medicine and walked her daily. He was great!”
“Emma did a very good job with her first overnight house sitting job with my dog Violet and kitty Charlie. She asked Qs when necessary and was responsible with caring for my home. I returned to happy pets and a well kept house. Emma was on top of reading the Google doc I share with all of my sitters for schedules, logistics, etc. and I would hire her in the future. Thank you Emma :)”
“Shenelle took such good care of our girl during the holiday! Our dog, Rory, hurt her leg the week before our trip so I wanted to make sure she had good support while we were gone. Shenelle was amazing and sent us pictures and updates. We will be booking with her again!”
“A huge thank you to Claire and Corey who took such loving and attentive care of Moon and Hermione. You can immediately feel their passion and kindness — our two furry friends were truly pampered. We entrust them with our little ones with complete peace of mind and full hearts.”
“Margarita is so great with peanut. He gets so happy when she comes over and she takes the cutest pics and videos of him. I can tell he has a great time and I can focus on my work knowing he is in great loving and caring hands.”
“Beth watched our 100 pound Lab and 12 pound fluff ball for a month while we were in Paris and did a wonderful job with the boys. Everyone in our community that ran across Beth with the boys, commented on how nice she was and how well the dogs were doing. I could not have enlisted any of the 60 plus year old dog sitters here to take the dogs to the precarious Creeks and ponds where the the Lab loves to swim. Both the boys are trimmer and healthy looking. The little Fluff is 16 years old with a bad leg and he is much trimmer which is very good because he can walk better and is more active. He runs around the house. But most importantly the boys were very much loved by Beth which is priceless. I highly recommend Beth as a dog and house sitter. She left the house clean and tighty which made coming home that much more pleasant. ”
“Cordelia was great with Rocky! She took the time for a meet and greet, communicated really well and seemed to really enjoy caring for a dog. We would recommend her and hope to use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sun Valley is $63

Jade is immediately warm, welcoming and professional. She was wonderful staying at our home with our 100 lb, sometimes anxious, Rhodesian Ridgeback. She followed our requests and took great care of Colt, right down to his walks and feed. Pictures and texts put my worries at ease. When we got home Colt seemed happy and content and the house looked great. We will definitely use Jade for any future needs! Thanks Jade!
Orion is More than we could ever ask for a pet sitter. Our plans changed last minute after a small dog fight where he was originally going to stay at, and our fur baby was going through a very difficult phase afterwards. He was scared and aggressive, and we unfortunately had to leave him with a stranger watching him. Orion became no stranger, and tried his very best to be a warm stable rock while we were away. His patience and kindness is no joke, and his constant updates made our trip possible to be enjoyed. The night that we came back, Umbo had Orion’s sock in his mouth and was whining walking around the house. Safe to say that Umbo, despite being sad that we were gone, was happy that Orion was the one that took care of him.
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.
First time booking with Adam, and I truly can’t thank him enough. Three days before my husband and I were supposed to leave for a work trip, our usual pet sitter texted us saying she had food poisoning and could no longer help. I was honestly terrified. We have a 19-year-old Maltese named Bear who has been by my side since I was 18. Bear is in the final chapter of his life and requires a tremendous amount of specialized care. The thought of leaving him with someone we didn’t know was incredibly stressful. After exhausting every personal connection we had, we finally took a leap of faith and booked Adam through Rover. It was the best decision we could have made. Even with only three days’ notice, Adam went out of his way to make a meet-and-greet happen before we left. From the moment we met him, we immediately felt at ease. He brought professionalism, good vibes, and the attention to detail our animals needed. Adam met our two cats and, most importantly, Bear. We warned him that Bear is deaf, blind, wears diapers full time, and has recently started showing signs of Sundowning/dementia. At this stage of his life, keeping him comfortable and feeling safe is our absolute priority. Because of his needs, we always have someone stay in our home with him when we travel so as to keep him in a familiar environment and not make his confusion worse. I warned Adam there would be accidents, diaper changes, oral medication, and most likely having to wake up with him in the middle of the night if he had any restless spells. Kinda like having a newborn. None of it scared him. Instead, Adam listened, asked thoughtful questions, paid attention to every detail, and made us feel like Bear was in incredibly capable hands. I felt so at ease getting on the plane the next morning. While we were away, Adam kept us updated, communicated consistently, sent us headshot-quality pictures of everyone, and treated our animals with the same patience and care that we would have given them ourselves. Even our cat Ellie, who is scared of everyone new, started to feel comfortable coming out of hiding a few times to say hi! Bear's senior needs are no joke, and I am sure it presented it's challanges for Adam, but he never let us feel that. Every update he sent was full of nothing but positivity, which allowed me to focus on my work trip instead of stressing about what was going on at home. Leaving the needs of my senior pup in a stranger's hands was really hard for me to do. I am so grateful to have found Adam and the excellent care he provides. I walked into our house after 4 days of being away to a clean home, freshly washed sheets, 2 happy cats, and little Bear sleeping peacefully on his bed. He wasn't scared or confused, which is the biggest blessing Adam provided us. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone, but especially to someone who has the same anxieties about leaving their babies with someone they barely know. If Adam will have us, we plan to add him into our pack and his mom, Ruth, too! Adam, thank you for stepping in when we were in a complete bind, for taking such incredible care of Bear, Ellie, and Joe, and most importantly, for giving us the peace of mind to actually enjoy our trip knowing they were safe and loved. Ok, thank you for listening to my TED Talk, now go BOOK ADAM!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Valley on Rover is $31.92 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,949 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
