“Megan is wonderful! She watched our boys for the weekend and stayed with them at our place. She kept us up to date with their feedings and well being. When we returned we found very happy dogs and she left our home in immaculate condition.”
“Amy was an amazing dog sitter! We had a two week trip that she took care of both our dogs by house sitting in our home. She is a great communicator and kept us updated on our older pup as she needed to be seen by the vet shortly after we left due to getting anxious causing her to get sick. Amy was great, daily picture updates and never had any concerns about the dogs’ care. Thanks so much Amy!!”
“She is seriously the best. She keeps me updated the whole time and sends the sweetest photos during her visits, which makes such a difference. This is our second time booking with her, and I feel so much more at ease knowing my fur baby is in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
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.
“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 did a great job looking after my dog for a long weekend. He kept me updated and took great care of my little girl! I’m looking forward to the next time Michael will be watching Penney!”
“Gabby was the best house/dog sitter for our 11 year old Foxhound. Our dog has a fear of storms. Gabby understood and took great care of her. She is very detailed and sends lots of pics to reassure us our pet is doing well. We will hire Gabby many more times.”
“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.”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
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!
“We needed a last minute sitter and Emely helped us out! She was great and communicated with us well. I know our pup can be rumbustious, but she handled her well. Thanks again!”
“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!!”
“Dustin was great with my little pack of 3 and kept me in the loop with pictures, videos, and good communication through the weekend. I have 1 who can be shy and standoffish to new people, and typically will mope in his kennel the whole time, everytime I’m gone. He got zoomies as soon as he met Dustin and not only didn’t stay mopey during Dustin’s time watching them, but actually played with Dustin & seemed to have a great time! I would happily book with him again and recommend to others”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Valley
Incredible pet care is an understatement. Jessica was amazing with Tink and my Bunny. She sent pictures and updates daily and answered right away whenever I messaged. She left the house clean and even remade the beds so that we came home and could rest. She is kind, sweet, dependable and trustworthy. Anyone is lucky to be able to book her. Thank you so much, Jessica!

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.
Jessica was a true life saver! From our last minute request to issues getting our e-key padlock to work, she went with the flow and took amazing care of our pup. We are looking forward to having Jessica watch Thor again in the future because she is so amazing and caring for animals!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Valley on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 696 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.

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.
