“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!”
“Kat took great care of Lusi while we were gone for the day. She sent us detailed updates and photos and helped us feel completely confident our girl was in great hands! Would definitely book 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.”
“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.”
“Margarita took such good care of my boy! She was super flexible and communicative setting up a meet and greet, which was nice since my schedule is kind of all over the place. She followed my instructions for my anxious boy to the t and sent great pictures and videos along the way. I had never booked with Margarita before but am definitely going to add her to my list of trusted people to watch my pup. Would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a good person to watch your pet while you're away! Thanks again, Margarita!”
“Shenelle was great!! She and my dog formed a bond after just one sitting. Makes me so happy to know he’s getting lots of love and great care while I’m away. Already booked her again.”
“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”
“My 2 Labradors loved Niki! She house sitted for a week with my two dogs and she always checked in with pictures , she bought them toys n treats, and gave them so much attention! I will definitely be using Niki’s services again!”
About: (To start off, I am trying to raise money for a car and this is the way I’d like to do that!) I’ve lived in a household of dogs and cats my whole life simultaneously. I am currently not working and have lots of free time on my hands! My fur baby whom I take on walks (Killer) is highly reactive so I’m constantly aware of things that trigger him. I hope to be your companion’s companion! My schedule is very flexible and open! I am not working as of late, leaving me more time to care for your fur babies! The only time I have reserved is 10:30-11:30 on Thursdays. There are three cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon in my home. There’s always some sort of mayhem going on that needs to be meddled with. That being said, I understand how to address a situation if a companion has gotten somewhere that isn’t safe. Protect our fur babies at all costs! ♥️
“Alex quickly responded to my request to housesit my pups and asked all the right questions prior to and during her stay. She took really good care of them and I received daily pics of my dogs having a great time with her. I will definitely book Alex again.”
About: I am new to housesitting and pet sitting, but I am a very responsible and hard worker. I am reliable and trustworthy if there’s any specific way you want me to take care of your pet and watch over your home please let me know. I want you to feel at ease and have no worries, when you leave your pets at home in my care I have grown up with animals all my life. I’ve had chickens, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, different types of animals growing up. My parents were really good to me and bought me any pet. We wanted growing up. My dad grew up in a farm so he likes having animals around the house we’ve always had unique animals growing up here and there like peacocks, quails, and pigs. I’ve seen my parents how they will take care of the animals. I would have to take care of my dogs as well growing up with them recently we’ve had several puppies my brother and mother wanted dogs again, so I’ve been helping them taking care of those cleaning after them bathing them playing with them making sure they eat on time. Right now I just have a small pitbull four months old, it is my brothers , but I’ve been taking care of it for him here and there while he’s busy working. I am not working right now so I am available whenever you need me. I’m really looking for overnight sitting specifically so anything for the night shift would be good. I’m used to working overnights. I’ve had several jobs working at night so that doesn’t bother me. Just let me know how you’d like me to take care of your pets and your home. I’ll feed them whenever you want me to feed them play with them when you want me to play with them. i’ve had several jobs growing up in my life. I would walk them and feed them and bathe them right now I’m taking care of my brother’s four months pitbull. I gave her dog treats. I clean after them I throw the pads away if they go to the bathroom on the floor
“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!”
“Christina is great! She is quick with communication and sent me some cute pictures of the girls during their time with her. Our dogs can be a little anxious around people or places that are unfamiliar so it is so relieving to know that Christina will stay in our apartment where they are comfortable. It is obvious that she has a lot of experience with many temperaments of dogs. We have already booked the girls for their next weekend with Christina!”
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 helped dog sit while my clients were on vacation. They were senior dogs who needed medication and some extra love and care. I’m currently an afternoon nanny 2pm-6pm on Week days. This will allow me to do early mornings and midday visits or walks. I am open to evening visits as well. 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 a dog, I make sure that arrive promptly, take them for a walk and provide update. I’ll make sure to be respectful of your space and privacy. Same would apply if I’m doing a drop in for a kitty. Make sure your pets are safe and happy. When I sit for a family I can do drop ins or spend the night. I walk in the morning and feed your pets and then go to work in the afternoon. Come back walk and play and do dinner. I’ll make sure to clean up after my visits and respect your home.
“Grace is an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of our two girls and our home! Can’t wait until we can have another getaway so Grace can stay with the girls again! We highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Chelsea went above and beyond to take care of Winston and Miso! Not only did she check in frequently, but she shared tons of photos and videos, and even did training with our pup. Winston can be a handful, and we felt at ease knowing Chelsea was watching after him. We would happily trust her to take care of our little ones next time we are away! Thank you so much, Chelsea!”
“5th time having Russell take care of our little Joey girl and he was wonderful as always! Joey looked happy in all her photos and he took great care of our place as well.”

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!

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 ❤️

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.
