About: My family had owned dogs my entire life, ranging from a German shepherd to rescues with extreme anxiety. I have pet sit countless times for my parents and other family members when they are away on vacation. I also spent a year and a half working at Dynamite Dog Training in Delray Beach. I started as a handler but quickly moved up to becoming head trainer. Through that job I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently between jobs, so I have a very open schedule to work with. I am very much looking forward to working with dogs again and can usually fit my schedule to whatever services you are looking for. I have a fenced yard with a pool and multiple roommates, so your dog will have plenty of attention. Sometimes other small dogs stop by depending on the day. However if you prefer your dog being watched at your home, I will make sure they get plenty of play time and mental stimulation.
“First time ever leaving my babies with anyone but family. Dave did a job beyond our expectations. He sent photos and video every day while we were on a 7 day cruise. Our house was left like no one was here. I suggest always interview your sitter as we interviewed 3. Dave will be our permanent rover sitter. Rover should have other sitter’s just like him as a company standard. Five plus STARS!!”
About: I have worked in grooming salons as a bather for over 5 years on and off as well as a handler at a doggy daycare in Boynton Beach. I have dog sat many times for personal friends, and I personally own an 80lbs+ sweet dog myself. Very comfortable walking and playing with big dogs of varying temperaments. I am happy to provide references for my interactions with doggy day care handling, dog sitting references, and general work references. I am currently in between contract work and have open availability to play with your pup as much as desired! Usually my mornings and afternoons will be the most convenient times I am a very cautious and alert dog walker. My own dog gets excited easily and will lurch for food (or non food) on the ground and I am very skilled at keeping him safe while still having fun on his walk. I am a very loving pet sitter and will give your dog plenty of love at home during visits or playtimes.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding dog sitting service provided by Alix for our three Pomeranians! From the moment we left until our return, Alix demonstrated a level of care, responsibility, and genuine affection that surpassed all expectations. Alix not only ensured our dogs were well-fed and exercised but also took the time to send regular updates and adorable pictures, which kept us at ease throughout our time away. The attention to detail, including securing the dogs in their original cages, speaks volumes about Alix's commitment to their safety and well-being. We returned to happy and healthy pups, a testament to the exceptional care they received. Alix's professionalism, communication, and obvious love for animals make her an absolute gem. We are immensely grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Alix, for going above and beyond – you are truly the best.”
“Jessica did a fantastic job house siting while I was away! It let me actually enjoy my trip because I knew my pups were in good care! I got pictures of them frequently. When I came home the house was vaccumed and sheets washed which took a whole lot off of my plate from all of the catching up do to after a trip! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have so much genuine love for animals and my experience with a wide range of pets. I'm super comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I've got some training experience with puppies, so I can help reinforce basic commands and good behavior. Plus, I'm really good at recognizing when a pet might need extra attention or medical care, especially with older animals. I always make sure to keep their routines consistent and give them lots of love! I make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by prioritizing it. I schedule specific blocks of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and any necessary vet visits. I also keep a flexible schedule so I can adjust to any unexpected needs or emergencies that may arise. Since I don’t watch dogs at my place, I focus on providing top-notch care in my clients' homes. When I'm at your place, I stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible, so they feel secure and comfortable. I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I'm also super careful about keeping their environment clean and safe.
“She was great with my Rocco! My Rocco is not just a dog, he needs more than a pee break. Unfortunately, he is blind and diabetic. Gabby understood his needs and was able to successfully take care of him! Gave him his shots and made sure he had his tacos every night!”

About: Growing up my family was a cat family so I worked with cats since middle school always taking care of them as a child. Later in the years I would watch over my neighbors dogs and cats and I have been doing that for a little side in high school when the travel for vacation. So I’m a flight attendant and I fly for about three days a week and the the rest of the week I’m free. I can also make my own schedule so I’m very flexible on days and weekends. For my home it’s a gated community and I’m in house with two roommates and in our community there is a mini dog park. For the Clint house I’m respectful I have done other jobs where I would be in the clients home I used to do swimming lessons in the summer by driving to peoples homes.
“Maria is FANTASTIC. Maria communicates beautifully and was so easy to talk to about Kazak’s specific needs. She did an incredible job attuning to him, keeping me updated, and making sure he was happy and relaxed. Maria house-sat for Kazak, and the experience was so great that I’ve already booked her again for December! I highly recommend her — don’t hesitate to contact Maria!”
About: I have more then 15 years with dogs, cats and birds. I have worked with vets with dogs under my care. Dogs with medical conditions and healthy ones. I treat all animals with respect and all the love they deserve. While in my care I provide all that I would for my own. I have had up to 14 dogs in my care at once before, walked fed and love each of them. I have routines I follow for each pet I care for and will follow in home care routine as well. For daycare services I have a fenced yard and enough grounds to walk and keep pets busy. I do require all pets in my care to have shots, flea and tick treatment up to date with proof. All pets MUST be friendly with my own. All pets in my care must be house trained and when possible create trained. If you have a high energy dog that needs to be busy all day I can provide the exercise.

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us and took care of our cat, Star, for ten days while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring, and she kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages. It was such a comfort seeing how relaxed, happy, and comfortable Star was with her. Maria took excellent care of both Star and our home, and everything was perfect when we returned. Knowing Star was in such loving and capable hands allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Maria to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Maria!
I can't recommend Emily highly enough. She stayed at my house and watched my maltipoo for over two weeks, and she did an absolutely amazing job. I'd never met her before, so naturally I had some nerves about handing over my home and my dog to someone new, but those disappeared fast. She earned my complete trust. She took wonderful care of the house and even better care of Baxter, who was clearly happy and well looked after the whole time. On top of that, she kept me updated regularly, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Emily was an incredible find, and I'd welcome her back in a heartbeat. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, she's the one.
Julia was great! She took my dogs on walks, she sent pictures of them, and communicated very well. When I got home I could tell my dogs were well taken care of and they were treated as if they were her own dogs. My flight home get delayed and Julia was even willing to run back over and let them out again. She is very nice, professional, and left my home in better shape than I left it. I definitely recommend Julia and will book her again when I can!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
