“Katherine did an amazing job looking after my old cat. I thought Dooney might hide for at least a little while but he didn’t hide at all. He quickly warmed up to Katherine and didn’t want her to leave. I appreciate all the time she spent hanging out with him and keeping him company while I was gone.”
“Erin was great! Super communicative throughout the booking which we really appreciated. It was great to get regular updates on how things were going and what they had been up to. We had confidence that our animals were in great hands and we would absolutely book with Erin again!”
“Thank goodness for Adam. After our initial pet sitter fell through at the last minute for a holiday weekend Adam was available on a moments notice to watch our dog and two cats and even do a meet and greet beforehand as well. He’s was responsive, reliable and constantly sending updates and pictures. So we knew we left our pets in good hands. We returned to a clean and tidy home and happy and safe pets and we couldn’t be more appreciative. We would definitely book Adam again.”
“Kimberly is the absolute best! She is so caring, sweet, and responsible! She also keeps me updated by providing updates with pictures/videos of my fur baby! Thank you Kimberly for everything! ♥️”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats pretty much my whole life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family for years. I’m really comfortable around different types of dogs and understand how to read their behavior and approach them in a calm, respectful way. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and well looked after. I’ve always been around pets growing up, so caring for them feels like a natural part of my routine. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly help friends and family by taking care of theirs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I genuinely enjoy it and make it a consistent part of my daily and weekly schedule whenever the opportunity comes up. At the moment, I’m not able to host animals at my place of residence. I’m hoping that changes soon so I can incorporate pet care more into my daily routine, but for now I’m happy to provide care in your home.
“Jade has provided consistent and reliable care for our pup—always and time and communicative. We really appreciate how engaged she is when sitting, and the daily reports (with awesome pics)”

“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!”
“Emily is a delight! I left my dogs for in home overnights for 3 days and I could not be happier. Not only were they cared for, they were loved...they were showered with attention: cuddling and play. I have only used Emily before for walking, which was great and the dogs so happy when she comes, but this quality of care eased my concern for overnights. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“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 :)”
About: My friends call me the dog whisperer. I love animals and will do whatever necessary to gain their trust. Happy to follow whatever structure they have. I care about pets and am happy to do what’s necessary to make sure they are good and happy and try to maintain a solid structure and schedule. My home is a safe place and everything in it is thoroughly thought of and planned to ensure maximum safety for your pet. Just want them comfortable!
“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!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I have always had a special affinity for our canine companions. I have a natural ability to connect with dogs and understand their needs, whether it's through playtime, exercise, or simply offering them love and attention. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and am confident in my ability to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to their behavior and body language, ensuring that they feel secure and happy in my care. Overall, I am passionate about dogs and would be honored to provide responsible and loving dog sitting services. I’m currently a freelance camera assistant/operator and I have a lot of free time to play and take care of dogs during weekdays and weekends . I always try to keep the pets busy, so l like to play with them or train them of course if the client doesn’t mind that .
“Olivia was a wonderful Dog Sitter. Trustworthy, dependable, kind. She stayed with Primo for a week and communicated regularly with happy puppy pics. She took great care of my house and plants also. Would definitely recommend. Ty Olivia!”
About: For the last 8+ years I have worked in dog kennels, boarding, training and shelter environments. I am focusing on gaining my trainer and/or handler certificate as well as animal CPR care. I am a professional dog walker so it's more than just a side gig for me; I take your dog's health, happiness and safety seriously. My visit to your pets will vary on their needs from just a potty break or feeding to an hour long hike. I am very detail oriented when it comes to communicating what services I have done from what meals or treats given, bowel movements and behavioral updates. I have experience with newborn puppies, elderly pups and reactive dogs. I may suggest a different walking harness or basic training methods if I feel it would be better for your pup; if I feel like I can't safely handle your dog I will do my best to help find a better fit. I am able to take up to 4 dogs in my car if all fit and get along. I love taking them out for hikes or parks but never off leash. I prefer visits no earlier than 8am or later than 6pm, but am willing to work with special requests. Currently serving the San Fernando Valley areas; Burbank, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Alhambra, Van Nuys, Sun Valley, etc. I currently have a rather open schedule for house visits, potty breaks, play visits, hikes and walks. I can not house any pets in my home but am available for in home pet sittings. I live in Burbank so can go about 20 miles radius depending on the care request. I try to stick with your usual daily schedule to help ease your pet's stress while you're away. I stay with any training requirements and diet restrictions. The only times I leave the home are for other pet care needed around town. I understand how stressful it is finding a new pet care friend and I value your trust more than anything. (Yes I will bring in your mail and packages of course!) I communicate daily with updated photos and texts. My rates are posted due to my years of experience and changing up my own life schedule to accommodate for your needs. I also don't mind taking care of plants too!
About: As a dedicated pet owner with over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience, I understand the importance of providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their furry family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I’m currently working part time so my schedule ranges and can be very flexible. I can work morning and nights, I also have my own transportation if pickups are needed. I have a dog park nearby by and many parks nearby to keep your fur baby entertained and safe, I also have dog and cat friendly animals at home
“10/10 will ask Dylan back! He stayed in my home for the weekend with my very energetic heeler, cared for my two cats and also took great care of the garden! He also took the time to offer some training help with my dog, which is much needed and appreciated. All around he knows animals and genuinely cares for them which made me feel at ease leaving them all for a few days.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Valley
Grace was a wonderful sitter for my complicated fur babies (3 cats, very large golden and elderly dog). She sent daily updates and pictures and took extra steps to ensure they were well cared for and loved. Grace went above and beyond and highly recommend! Wonderful experience and peace of mind♥️
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!
This was the first time I was leaving my dog Curly with a sitter, and Keri was the absolute best person for the job. She's super communicative and caring, sent me frequent updates while I was out of town, and I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her. She went above and beyond, and I'd book her again in a heartbeat.
Troy was honestly amazing and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. He was super communicative the entire time and kept me updated with lots of pics of my baby, which I loved. You can tell he really cares — he treated her like his own, gave her lots of cuddles, and made sure she was taken care of in every way. He also watered my plants, which I did not expect but really appreciated. There was a moment where she had a little accident, and he handled it so calmly and cleaned everything up right away without making it a big deal at all. He kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. He followed all of my instructions perfectly and was always available when I needed him. Just overall super reliable and easy to work with. I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone ❤️
Claris a is the best!! She came through for us for a last minute booking for our senior girl. She is professional, courteous and amazing with communication (little updates and photos each day we were gone- which helped this dog mom relax). Your pet is in great hands!!!!
Jocelyn was great with Barry and took really good care of him while we were away, even with the crazy stormy weather in LA. She kept us in the loop, made sure he was comfortable, and even let us know right away when she noticed a roof leak — which we really appreciated. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Barry and the house were in good hands. We’d absolutely have her back again.
Erin was great! Super communicative throughout the booking which we really appreciated. It was great to get regular updates on how things were going and what they had been up to. We had confidence that our animals were in great hands and we would absolutely book with Erin again!
We had a great experience with Sonia! She stayed at our place for about 10 days and took wonderful care of our cat November. Communication was super easy, and she kept us updated with photos while we were gone. November was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was just as we left it. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Valley on Rover is $31.19 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,075 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
- 97% 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.
