About: Hi everyone! My name is Kaela, and I’m a recent UNR graduate who works a 9–5. I’ve always been an animal lover and grew up with larger dogs, including Labs, Australian Shepherds, and Border Collies. I also come from a cat-loving family and currently live with an adorable kitty! I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and have experience caring for all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, and goats. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very excited for the opportunity to meet your best friend and help make your life a little easier! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work a 9–5, Monday through Friday, but I’m available to care for your pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I do not provide services in my own home, I care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I strive to provide reliable, respectful, and attentive care every time. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands!
About: I was born with a serious cat addiction. Cats are so fascinating with their little quirks and funny personalities. I truly enjoy every minute spent a cat graces me with their presence. I've been consistently around cats since I was 6 years old, so right around 25 years. I can provide shots to your kitties too, if they need them for medical reasons. As for dogs, I'm very new to them as I've never had my own. But I was a dog walker for one summer. I'm a very quick learner and a lover of all animals! Pet sitting is my top priority, so I'm happy to be there for you and your babies. Let me know what you expect, and I'll do my best to make it happen! Happy to provide feeding and a clean litter box (or a walk for the doggies) as often as you and your little buddies require. Currently studying up on pet CPR in best interest in the worst case scenarios. Of course play time is a must!

About: I've had dogs almost my entire childhood from small pomeranians to rottweilers. I currently don't own any since my apartment would feel small with a dog but I would love yo dogsit for anyone who doesn't want their dog or cat to be alone. My wife is home all day so your dogs would get the exercise they need and all the love and attention they would want as she too grew up around dogs if any size. Same day appointments are available as are same day cancellations. Feel free to email me if you have questions. References available. I currently work full time but do have days off for therapy sessions for a past injury. My wife would be caring for pets if I am not available in my stead and she is great with animals. She also has references if needed. We can persist any day of the week with an advanced notice for weekends and holidays. I live in an apartment but there is a park nearby if your dog needs exercise. I also have a patio in case they just want to sit/lay in the shade/sun. Everything that could be dangerous towards dogs would be put away
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!
About: I have 5+ years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with multiple-pet households, senior pets, and pets with disabilities or special needs, including following medication, feeding, and exercise routines. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide daytime visits throughout the week. I'm happy to work with the pet owner to find times that fit their pet's routine. I am communicative about scheduling or any changes. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible. I carefully follow instructions and pay close attention to each pet's comfort level and behavior and will keep you updated about how they're doing during my visits.
About: Detail-Oriented Pet Sitter 🐾💕 I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and come from a family of devoted dog and cat people! I have a 16 year old Westie-poo🐶💕 She’s sensitive to touch and wasn’t very socialized when she was younger, so I’ve spent her life learning her preferences, respecting her boundaries, and advocating for what helps her feel safe and comfortable. She taught me that every pet has their own personality, communication style, routines, and quirks! I also understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I know firsthand how reassuring it is to receive updates and know that your pet’s individual needs are being respected. I’d love to provide that same peace of mind to other pet parents. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped family members care for small- to medium-sized dogs through boarding, walks, playtime, companionship, and everyday care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routines and instructions closely so they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home! 🐾 Currently home full-time (when I'm not volunteering at Nevada Humane Society Shelter) and am available to meet you and your pup to schedule drop-ins and walks. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care! 🐶💕 I’m generally available from the morning through the late afternoon on weekdays, as well as Saturdays. My availability can vary slightly from week to week, so feel free to reach out with what you need, I’d love to see if I can make it work! 💌🐾 🏡 I live in a spacious, clean apartment with **no pets of my own**, so your pup gets my full attention! 🐶💕 I have a large enclosed balcony for (supervised) fresh air time 🌤️🐾 and a huge dog park nearby for walks, exercise, and enrichment! 🌳🐕
About: I worked at a pet hotel and doggie daycare for a year. We would create play groups for certain compatible dogs, feed, administer medications, and clean up after them. I also have two family dogs for the last 10 years. I currently work Thursday-Saturday and have four days off. Also I will not be working at my current job for the full month of February so I will have full availability! I currently am renting a room in a house so I would be unable to have pets over. I would be able to stay the night at the client’s home only. I can bring pets for long walks/hikes or just relaxing and playing whatever need be. I would also like a video of the condition of the house I’d be staying at in advance.
About: I’ve been taking care of friends dogs and house sitting for others for a while. I understand dogs comfortability with being in their own home. I love cats! Love to pet them and play if they are social. I’m very trust worthy and reliable. See my reviews! I work from home and make my own schedule. I am open to taking your dog for a walk, to the dog park, and cuddling it up with them. Cats will get some pets and play time if needed. Any other pet including chickens need to have more instructions for me on what to do, but I feel confident and comfortable in helping. I will also adjust my fees accordingly. Snakes and spiders are a NO 😃. I will play, tug, or cuddle with your dog at your home. Goal is to make them feel comfortable and happy while you are away. Please note that anything outside the McCarran loop, I will charge more per mile, but I do take requests within a 20 mile radius from where I live (near airport). Gas is expensive still unfortunately. Extra pets and treats are needed 😁. Im a clean and organized person, your place will be in shape the way you left it.

About: Hello! I have grown up with animals my whole life, whether that be dogs, cats, birds, snakes, or chickens! I have experience taking care of young cats and dogs as early as 2 weeks old. I have also participated in several obedience and agility classes for my own dogs throughout my life. I currently work a 9-5 on the weekdays but try to keep my evenings free for Rover jobs. I luckily have the ability to work remotely so if you need someone in the house to just keep your animal company and give them potty breaks, I’m your girl! I always have availability over the weekends and on Fridays for overnight jobs. I make sure that I follow all the house rules provided to me by the client and any requirements for how to care for their pet. I make sure to give consistent potty breaks and walks according to the owners and pets needs. I always try to get some play time in as well if that is something that your pet is interested in!
About: I have both dogs and cats at home so I am well versed with the effort it takes into caring for your pets. I am currently a kennel technician and doggy daycare attendant so I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work part time at a pet resort and animal hospital so being around pets has become a huge part of my routine ! I am available to provide pet care in the mornings, after my class or after work, and at night as well ! I’m comfortable with doing drop ins, overnight stays, and dog walking ! I understand that meeting new people can be stressful for our kids so I make sure to always take a gentle approach when introducing myself and being in their living space ! Message me for info about care at my home .
“Emily is so reliable and exactly who we needed for my first time away from my 8 month old kitten. Even though it was a last minute request, Emily made time to come over for an initial meet/introduction.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my veterinary focus and reliability. I notice small changes in behavior, I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and giving meds, and I stay calm under pressure. I keep your dog’s normal feeding, walk, and sleep routine, and you get real daily updates with photos and videos not just “all good.” Your dog gets lots of playtime, cuddles, and attentive care, and you get peace of mind. I work part-time giving me lot of flexibility to care for your pet at my home or for drop in visits allowing me to give the care that your pet needs. I am punctual, arriving to your home early for medications, potty breaks, and feedings. At my home your pet will receive the same amount of care plus extra cuddles!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have taken care care of family and friends dogs and cats when they go out of town. I currently take care of our family’s bernadoodle part time when she’s not with her mom and we love to take her on long walks and a run around the yard. When she is not with me I miss her and would love to give your pups or cats some love too. I am currently working part time 2 days a week so I can fit care for your pets on the other days of the week. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for your dog to run around. I also have gates in the house to keep them out of mischief. In your home I will keep your pets out of mischief by taking them on walks/ runs or adventures like a hike if permitted.

About: I have had a dog since I was 7 years old, I always take my dog to the park nearby my house. I also have experience taking her on hikes where I am originally from in Wisconsin. I also have experience taking care of cats, and even baby raccoons too which are absolutely adorable! I am a TMCC men’s soccer player so you can definitely trust me to take your dog for a good workout walk. I absolutely love animals no matter the size or kind! I am also a current volunteer at the SPCA. I am currently a soccer player and student for TMCC so I normally have practice during the summer at 4:30 on Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesday. But in season things become a little bit more complicated At my house here in Sparks it is not suitable to have your dog stay the day or night unless I have recieved the proper equipment to allow your dog to have a comfortable visit. But I can assure you I know how to take care of all types of animals. I am also a volunteer at the SPCA!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sun Valley is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $29 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 993 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sun Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
