“Emily did a fantastic job with my dog Jack. She went beyond what we asked and made sure Jack had the best week full of walks and cuddles. We got regular updates and photos, and everything looked great when we got home.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Took immaculate care of my dog and even gave her a bath! He washed his sheets and kept everything clean and tidy. Sent messages and videos to keep us updated. 💯 recommend!”
“Highly recommended. We hired Nicholas to care for our Great Danes and my plants for 10 days. He stayed in our home and took fabulous care of our girls. Nicholas sent daily updates and pictures. He, also, reached out with questions that came up along the way. When we arrived home, our house was spotless, my plants and our pups were healthy and happy. I will reach-out to Nicholas for future visits.”
“Sydney is THE dog sitter. But she’s more than just that. She took tremendous care of our home. She looked after it as if it were ours. The dogs were loved and cared for. Photos and videos were sent. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions when necessary. I could rave about her professionalism and calm yet confident demeanor all day long! 11/10!”
“Both my dogs recommend Adam. His calm nature and laid-back personality helped them feel relaxed. He was the perfect buffer to help introduce a new dog into my household. Really appreciated his handyman abilities, helping me program devices and keeping the new condo up to speed. He is an enthusiastic dog walker, so there was plenty of exercise for the new pup. We all enjoyed making his acquaintance and look forward to booking him again.. Pam, Ace and DeeDee”

“Annika was awesome! She took extra great care of my new rescue dog- lots of cuddles and walks. Annika stayed for over nights and kept the house very tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Annika stay again.😊”
“The best dog sitter I have ever had!!! We received multiple updates a day with lots of pictures of a very happy dog, constant communication, and she went above and beyond what we asked for walks, attention, etc. Could not recommend more!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and honestly, my life just doesn’t feel complete without them. I’ve had 3 dogs, 3 cats and lots of different animal. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been gentle and caring with every animal. Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m studying psychology and hope to combine that with my love for animals in the future, maybe as a vet or through therapy work. For now, I bring experience, care, and a lot of love to every pet I get to look after. I’m currently working part-time until September 15. I usually work 12–7 PM, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m free all day then. On other days, I’m available for dog walks in the morning before work or in the evening after. I have a house back in my home country in Europe, and I currently have a dog and a cat. My dog lives inside but gets lots of outdoor time, and my cat goes in and out as she pleases. I walk my dog three times a day, and sometimes we go on long hikes. I really believe dogs should spend as much time outside as possible, get plenty of exercise, love, and a good diet. In my home, pets are safe, happy, and super well cared for. I’d give the same care, attention, and love to any pets I look after making sure they’re happy, safe, and well taken care of.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for many years and want to broaden my doggy friends! I trained my black lab puppy and also had an another black lab my entire life who lived 16 years, so I am skilled with older and younger dogs. I am a recent college graduate home for the summer and I love dogs. Just looking for things to do and may as-well make it enjoyable!! I have a condo perfect for dogs. I am very respectful and clean about other people’s spaces. Dogs are my besties and I am excited to meet more!!
About: I have owned mastiffs in German shepherds for the last 20 years and I’ve had pets my life. I am retired and love working with animals. I am available most days and evenings. I have a five-year-old German Shepherd who loves everybody but before boarding I would love for the pets to meet. If you need to drop off your pets for a few hours or longer, she will be here, but if I’m walking your pet for drop ins, she doesn’t need to be there. I have a very dog friendly home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture on my bed and it’s just me and my puppy so I do have a crate if dogs feel more comfortable. She likes to sleep in her sometimes but I am a crate free home I live in Elkhorn have a nice walking path and will always have your dog on a leash. My dog is off leash trained, but I always have others pets on leash.
“Absolutely amazing pet/house sitter!!! My 2 French Bulldogs were the happiest I’ve ever seen them have spent 2 nights and 3 days with THE BEST and most kindest, thoughtful and conscientious Sarah.! She was in touch with me several times per day to ease my worry about how Rex and Mochi were Doing, she stayed at the house most of The time to be with them as they are companion dogs and really need their human around to feel safe and secure, and send me adorable videos and photos that wanted my heart to see the fun slumber party going on while we were away. Do not hesitate to hire Sarah and have her stay at your home..she is kind, detail-oriented and finishes the job as strong as she started we felt our home and precious pets were in the best of hands the entire time!!! Lau Lapides”
“Ella was amazing to my little girl noodle! I was out of town for the weekend and she was timely and very attentive. She made sure to update me along the way and it was overall a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be using Ella again in the future!!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals my entire life, but the furry kind are my favorite! I’ve been trusted to care not only for others for babes but also human babies, too. I’m very reliable, trustworthy and patient. I do also foster dogs and puppies of all breeds and with all kinds of different needs or “issues”. As an adult I have my own fur gang, one being a reactive pup with lots of big feelings. I’ve done lots of training with him which in turn has pushed me into learning a lot more about dogs from a behavioral/psychological position. I’ve decided to branch out into pet care on a more professional level because I myself have found it difficult to find someone to care for my fur babes as I expect. As I have high standards for their care, I have high standards for myself when caring for others. I will treat them with kindness, compassion, understanding and love. I will send updates with photos, if desired, and will be home with them more then i’m away. I will take them outside to play ball, tug or whatever their favorite game is and I will also snuggle them if they choose to. I will whole heartedly love and treat them as my own to ensure they’re happy, healthy and safe while you’re away! I am happy to assist with any home needs as well. Mail pickup, plant care, lite house cleaning etc. I am a very organized and clean person and guarantee to leave your home at minimum as clean as you left, if not cleaner. My husband and I are business owners, and I work remotely. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to stay with your fur babes as little or as much as desired. I take pride in following any directions, guidelines, or rules set in place by each family as every pet, family and home is different from the next.
About: Passionate dog lover and responsible caregiver, I am excited to embark on this journey as a dedicated dog sitter. With a deep affection for our four-legged companions, I prioritize their well-being, offering a reliable and attentive service.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Valley on Rover is $55.5 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 49 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
