“Dayna is great! We will definitely ask to work with her again. She was caring and loving towards our cranky older cat who needed daily medicine and shared photos and comprehensive write ups of the cats after each visit. Truly, it was a great experience having Dayna care for our kitties!”

About: Your dog will have the best time with me! I've been around dogs my whole life and I love getting to just spend time with them. From playing to walking or even just sitting on the couch together, I'll make sure your dog has the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time/freelance so I have plenty of time to fit into your dog's schedule and make sure they get all of the attention and love they deserve. I will follow all of your instructions to the letter so that you don't have to worry while you're away. The most important thing is that your dog feels safe and happy.

About: German shepherds have been living with my family for decades. Loyal dogs to whom I'm grateful. Meeting new friends is fun, and opportunities to walk together are welcome. I'm currently in study mode. Got a certificate after months of work. To get out and meet new pets and people sounds good. I'm taking online classess, and spending some time to look for work in my field. Which are low-voltage & networking. So going for walks is a welcome activity. I used to live in a country-side house. The dogs would mostly take care of themselves. Except for the feeding, grooming, cleaning parts. I like meeting new friends, and I would inquire about the pets' preferences; the owners' too.

About: I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, and even hermit crabs. I love animals! I grew up with 3 cats in one home and 7 in another. Two of my cats lived to be over 20 years old, and my current cat is 19. I love senior kitties and have plenty of experience giving them shots and other types of medication. For cats I offer feeding/watering, litter cleaning, basic grooming, play, company, and medication administering. I also have experience with small and medium-sized dogs such as toy poodles and pugs. For dogs I offer walking, feeding/watering, basic grooming, play, and company. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time for drop-in visits and dog-walking throughout the day. I prefer morning and evening visits but can also do mid-day if needed. I treat your fur babies with the utmost care and love, as if they were my own. If anything seems out of the ordinary, rest assured I will contact you and take the necessary action to keep your baby safe.

About: I’m a compassionate, dependable animal lover who understands how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping each pet comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll follow their normal routine and give them personalized care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel completely at ease. Being around fury-children, while caring for them continues to warm my heart Being a full-time student taking care of fury-children compliments my lifestyle. I’m a spiritualist at heart. I love a nice meditation, yoga, & nature walk to center myself in my day. I care for each pet according to their individual routine, personality, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, medication, playtime, walking, and litter-box instructions carefully while keeping the space clean, calm, and secure. I give cats time to approach me at their own pace and provide affection, play, or quiet companionship based on what makes them feel safest. I also send regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel reassured while they are away.

About: As an avid animal lover from an early age, I've always gravitated toward animal care. I've volunteered with the Humane Society, worked on animal sanctuary farms, and rescued my own cats as strays. I have experience raising kittens and puppy training, working with trapping and adopting programs, and feel comfortable administering medications as needed I'm currently available for early morning drop ins, evening walks and check ups, or overnight stays as well! I am best suited for someone whose dog is okay with cats. I currently work Monday-Friday but have a flexible job with an office only 5 minutes away and can stop by house-visits as well as check in with pets staying at my home without issue I'll care for your pet the same way you would! When it comes to feeding schedules, exercise, and any other needs I'll make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I'll also happily provide updates throughout the stay with photos so you don't have to miss them too much!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 18 and have developed a genuine love and understanding of dogs at every stage of life. I’m also the proud owner of Sadie, my beautiful 9-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, whom I adopted when she was just 6 months old. Through my years of experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs, including high-energy pups, anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, and senior dogs who benefit from a slower, gentler pace. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive, and personalized care to make every dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM. However, I have open availability on weekends and am available for evening dog walking and pet sitting during the week. I look forward to providing your pets with reliable, attentive, and loving care! When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines, following their feeding schedules, and providing plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment, especially when their owners are away. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the individual dog's age, energy level, and personality. Whether it's a long, active walk for a high-energy dog or a slower, leisurely stroll for a senior dog, I make sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and care they need. I’m also happy to accommodate special instructions, routines, and any unique needs your pet may have.

About: I’ve lived with cats for about twelve years and pet sat for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience with insulin, medication, and special food needs for cats and special food needs for dogs. I also have experience with aggressive cats and am happy to watch them. I’m a college student with a part time job, but I can come mornings, evenings, and night on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The rest of the week I can come whenever needed. I think it’s very important to not just come over to feed animals and take care of their bathroom needs. Pets are used to having someone there 24/7 so they should have some company and someone to play with them while their owners are away.

Genesis did a great job visiting and taking care of our pets while we were away. She spent time with them, took lots of pictures, walked the dog daily, played with the cat ever visit, and was very easy to work. I highly recommend Genesis for any pet sitting needs! Thank you!

I'm very particular about who watches my dogs because they are very much my children. Sarah came to our home for a drop-in visit and she earned my trust completely. We have two senior dogs with different medical needs and physical limitations, plus a young, very opinionated lab-pit mix who needs her own kind of structure. It's a lot to juggle and I also gave her an extremely long list of instructions. She followed every detail, then went further by anticipating what each dog needed without being asked. The seniors got patience and gentle handling suited to their limits, while our younger dog got the engagement she needed. Everyone was calm, comfortable, and well cared for. What really sets Sarah apart is how much she cares. She's attentive, thoughtful, and clearly loves the animals she works with, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. If your dogs have special needs, your household has a lot of moving parts, or you are just a nervous wreck of a dog mom like me, Sarah is the sitter to book.

Detta was wonderful! She stepped in on short notice after our original sitter cancelled, and she took such great care of Bodhi during his drop-in visit. Bodhi had an upset tummy, and she followed all of his care instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout. I especially appreciated all of her notes after the visit — it gave me such peace of mind knowing how he was doing. Bodhi was happy and comfortable, and I would absolutely book Detta again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sun Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sun Valley is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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 17,707 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sun Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Valley. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
