About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.
“Cassandra was a perfect Catsitter - she left us lovely messages every morning and evening and it really seemed like our shy kitties warmed right up to her. We would absolutely recommend her and happily have her sit for us again.”
“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”
“Janet is an All Star! I was hesitant to get a pet sitter, but meeting Janet immediately put me at ease. She was great with communication, trustworthy and professional. But, most important, my little anxious puppy is still looking for her after she left! I will rebook with Janet again.”
“It’s always nerve‑racking to have a stranger in your home taking care of your baby, but Chris put us at ease on the first day. He cared for our dog in our home for 8 days and exceeded every expectation — punctual, communicative, and deeply attentive to our pup’s needs. We received updates twice a day with no fewer than 15 photos each day; the pictures were incredible — Chris could easily be a professional “pooch photographer." Chris even went as far as to bathe him. Our dog clearly loved the walks and playtime. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and compassionate; we’ll definitely book Chris again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable in‑home dog sitter.”
“More than 5 stars! Devin was AWESOME with my difficult dog Oliver. Very communicative throughout the stay with pictures and daily updates. Followed the instructions that I left to a T! The best part was that Oliver seemed to have a great time with him (I'm sure he will post some pictures) I hope to book him again this summer if I need to go on another trip.”
“Danika was available on a moments notice when we had to rush back east for a family emergency. The dogs loved her and she took great care of them. They were so happy while we were gone and she kept in constant contact with pictures.”
“Michael was a dream sitter! He was so professional and took care everything with our two dogs and the house. Friendly, polite and left the house clean. Our new rescue dog is afraid of most new people but Michael did great with her. Our dogs loved having him 😍 Recommend 1000%”
“Eshanki is an amazing dog and house sitter. She is trustworthy, clean, responsive, organized, and very caring. She gave us updates and photos regularly which helped as we missed Mikaeala. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I am troustworthy and reliable animal lover, this is how I got recruited into dog sitting years ago. I have experience with both large and small adult dogs. I also am a cat whisperer! I am an active person, so if your doggo needs some exercise and play time, I'm there to wear them out! I like to remain in touch with owners by sending photos and videos throughout my time with your pet, and understand that sometimes plans change or flights get delayed- no worries as I am a super flexible problem solver who will make sure your furry friend is well taken care of in your abscence! I'm new to Reno and am taking a break from my career, so my schedule is very much open and flexible! Let me know if you have special scheduling requests or even last minute needs! You can trust me to show up, communicate, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and fed in your absence. I most certainly will do my best to take care of whatver special needs your pet has. They will get all the attention and loving needed. I can also provide cleaning or grocery shopping services so your home is nice and clean upon your return (for additional fee).
“Rachel was fantastic from the beginning: communication was easy, my dog was super comfortable during the pre-booking meet and greet, and the sitting went flawless. I’ll definitely try to book again next time!”
“I had a last minute trip and needed to find a dog sitter on short notice. Not only was Vivica very quick in responding to the request, she was very accommodating to my schedule. Not only that, she did an awesome job looking after my pups. I will definitely be recommending her to others I know may need a dog sitter.”
“Heather was fantastic with my dogs. She followed all of my instructions carefully, communicated clearly, and treated them with real care and attention. I felt completely secure while I was away and had total peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“Bailey let me feel at ease leaving my fur baby on vacation. She sent me updates which I appreciated. All around positive experience with her as my first rover. Definitely will reach out again in the future. Thank you Bailey!”
“Chyann was great with our dogs while we were away. We had a last minute change of plans and she was available and stepped right in to help. Our house was clean when we came home and the dogs were happy.”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and have cared for and taught them all the basic pet commands. I have also worked at a doggy daycare for multiple months and have been a pet parent favorite Canine Coach I’m currently a college student that has class Monday through Friday mostly in the morning with evening classes on Friday. I am available all weekends for home/pet sitting. I am able to do overnight stays on weekends as long as I can go to class in the morning. In my own home I have a Dalmatian where I take him out hourly with 2 walks and if my schedule permits a car ride to the dog park. I always check my dogs water bowls and feed him two times a day with proper spacing of eating and exercise to ensure no bloating or stomach issues. I have also taught him to use the correct restroom spot in the backyard

Jacelyn house sat and took care of our two cats for almost two weeks while we were gone and did an amazing job. She gave our babies all the love and care we could have asked for and was so respectful of our house! We have one cat who has specific dietary needs and she was great with that as well. We were looking for someone who would be able to spend time with our babies and not just stop by for 20 minutes a day and she went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend her and we will be rebooking again for our future trips. She also sent us lots of updates and pictures everyday. Jacelyn is the best and so sweet!
Megan was absolutely amazing!! She was so understanding to my need for several visits in advance so my dog could become comfortable with her and she took amazing care of him while I was out of town so I didn’t need to worry about him at all. I received great daily updates and pictures and felt very at ease during my vacation. I am very grateful and will be using her again. Thank you Megan!
Jo is super sweet and friendly, took such amazing care of my little dog, she sent me updates and photos as well which eased any anxiety i had. She also left my home in great condition and i came back from my vacation to see my dog in a happy mood. I would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Devon! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable during the Fourth of July fireworks. She also kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, so we always knew how they were doing. It was clear she genuinely cared for our dogs, and they were calm and well cared for when we got home. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Whitney was so great to our high energy Border Collie/Australian Shepherd and our big boss cat. She sent us many photos of them and kept us informed on what the gang was doing. We've had a few dog sitters that didn't met our expectations, but Whitney is one of our top favorites and will be using her again. She met with us on short notice and was happy to reach out if she had questions.
Yubia is a great sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/house sitting. She was responsive and reliable during a busy period and sent us regular updates. There were no doubts that our 3 dogs were being cared for under Yubia's care. We plan to work with Yubia for all of our dog sitting needs.

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.
