“Amy, did fantastic! We will definitely hire her again to house sit and take care of our elderly dog Alice. She was very accommodating and even helped feed our bird, water the plants, and bring in our mail/packages while we were gone. We are very particular in whom we let watch Alice (shes 13 years old and very spoiled). Amy met every request and particulars for her including giving her medications and special feedings, and the biggest one was not leaving her home alone longer than 4-5 hours at a time. Thank you Amy you did great!”

“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”

About: Hi! I’m Carlee- a wife, mom, and animal lover! Our family has a one year old Golden Retriever named Sonny, who keeps us active, entertained, and smiling every day. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. As we all know, they’re not “just pets”, they’re family. My goal is to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give Sonny. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and over night stays in the comfort of your pets own home. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets. I’d love to get to know them, learn their routines and personalities, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away 🤎🐶🐈 I’m a mom with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and lots of attention throughout the week. I love getting outside for walks and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family.

About: I have experience with animals my whole life and even more after doing rover for 2 years now. I treat all animals as if they are my own! I work full time away from home but my bf Riley works from home. I would be the primary caretaker Wednesdays- Saturdays but other days it would be my bf watching the dogs at home until I get home. We are an active family and would love to take your fur babies on adventures with us if that's something you'd like! NOTE: Any daycare request that is over 9 hours will be an extra $5 Pick ups or drop offs after 9PM will be an extra $5 *House sitting price will vary depending on the situation/distance *We only watch pups together that we know will get along and usually no more than a couple at a time. We have a fully fenced yard and a dog door so you're pup could have access to outside all day. We have space for crates if you need your dog to sleep in a crate at night, otherwise they are free to sleep wherever they are comfortable! My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so she has free roam therefore all dogs must be respectful of cats. She does like to play but not roughly chased. I will take lots of photos of your pup during their stay as well!

About: I’m a professional behaviorist and trainer with hands-on experience in boarding, daycare, house sitting, walking, and working with dogs facing behavioral challenges such as fear or aggression. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—I’ve owned a pack of three since I was nine—so I’m very comfortable in busy, energetic households and with dogs of all temperaments. I recently moved to the area and am currently focused on building my clientele, getting to know the community, and offering support wherever it’s needed as I continue to grow my presence here. Many of my friends and clients rely on me for trustworthy care when they’re out of town, or when they need guidance and support with their dogs. I also recently launched my own training business, Simple K-9, where I offer private in-home sessions, outdoor excursions, and more. I’m currently building my client base for my training business, so while I may have private sessions or excursion days scheduled, my availability is fairly flexible and I’m happy to adjust as needed! Unfortunately, I’m unable to host client dogs in my home due to HOA restrictions. However, I have extensive experience handling dogs in a variety of environments, including outdoor settings and in the comfort of their own homes. I drive a Jeep that comfortably accommodates at least two large dogs and one small dog, and safety is always my top priority. I’m committed to ensuring your pet is cared for with attention, patience, and a focus on their well-being. I would never put a dog in a situation that could lead to fear or failure. If we were to encounter any unexpected challenges, I’m fully confident in my ability to manage the situation calmly and professionally, ensuring a positive and safe outcome.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I especially enjoy working with adult and senior dogs, as well as high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I also have experience with puppies and enjoy reinforcing basic training, boundaries, and good manners throughout the day. I love finding ways to keep dogs mentally engaged through things like lick mats, treat puzzles, sniffing games, and simple enrichment activities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m a full-time college student and also work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule because two of my college classes are online. I’m available for pet care around my school and work schedule, and I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs who enjoy having company and attention throughout the day. My in-person classes are Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 AM–2:30 PM, and I work Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00–8:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. I plan my bookings around these commitments so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. Safety and trust are very important to me. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to each dog’s individual needs, and make sure doors, gates, food, and anything potentially unsafe are properly secured. I’m especially careful with dogs who are anxious, reactive, very energetic, or still working on training. I believe pets do best when they have consistency, patience, and clear boundaries, so I try to maintain their normal routines as much as possible.

About: With 10+ years of experience in veterinary general practice and emergency medicine, I bring a level of experience and preparedness that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I’m trained in CPR, BLS and ALS and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, ages and medical needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication routines, pets with ongoing medical needs, post-treatment care, and owners who simply want the reassurance of leaving their animals with someone experienced in recognizing when something isn’t right. Every household is different. My listed rate reflects standard overnight care for pets with typical routines. Care needs, number of pets, medical requirements, extended daytime care and other special circumstances can be discussed during our meet & greet. If additional care is needed, we'll agree on the scope and final Rover booking price before your stay begins. I’ve personally cared for multi-pet households including dogs, cats and exotic pets, and I understand that every animal has its own routine, temperament and comfort level. My goal is to keep your pets’ lives as normal, safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away and give you the peace of mind to actually enjoy your trip. I work in veterinary medicine Monday–Wednesday and Friday, so on those days I am typically away during normal working hours and return in the evening. I’m available for overnight care, morning and evening routines, and additional care depending on the needs of each pet. My partner may also assist with daytime check-ins when arranged in advance. We believe strongly in transparency and safety, so anyone assisting with Rover care will be properly added to the account and background checked through Rover. During our meet & greet, we’ll review your pet’s normal routine and how long they are comfortable being alone to make sure the arrangement is a good fit before booking. Your pet’s safety and routine come first. With more than 10 years of veterinary general practice and emergency experience, I’m comfortable caring for healthy pets as well as seniors, pets requiring medications, and animals with more complex care routines. Before your first stay, I like to learn your pet’s feeding schedule, medications, normal behavior, exercise routine, veterinarian information, emergency contacts, household rules and any medical or behavioral concerns. Knowing what is normal for your pet makes it much easier to recognize when something has changed. In your home, I’m respectful of both your pets and your space. Doors, gates, medications, food, walks and household instructions are handled carefully, and you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you know how things are going while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Aly. I am a Reno local and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Ecology from UNR in 2020, so my passion is animals. I have been pet sitting on the side for about 5 years and have experience with small dogs, big dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses. I am able to provide any oral medication needed, feeding, walks, playtime, and whatever else your pet requires to be comfortable. No job is too big or too small! This is my full time/year-round job and my hope is that I can help people live the flexible lives they want/need with the comfort of knowing their home and pets are safe and being taken care of. Pet care is my full-time and year-round job. I am available 7 days a week and also on holidays. I accept same day bookings because I know life happens and I understand the additional stress of finding pet care last-minute. My hope is to alleviate that stress and provide reliable care for your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, I try to keep the pets schedule consistent with their normal routine. That includes feedings, medication, bathroom breaks, and sleep schedules. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so you can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos of your pet while you’re away.

“Cat M. did an excellent job with my dog, Maggie. Cat walked Maggie twice a day and she even bathed her after Maggie had rolled in the dirt. My house was in the same condition as when I left it, which was greatly appreciated. Cat even spent her own time with me after I returned to teach me some tricks to use when taking Maggie for a walk, as Maggie is a puller and she is reactive to other dogs. Cat has been the best pet sitter through Rover that I’ve had in the past and I will definitely book with her again.”

We are SO grateful for Bailey! She stayed at our house with our 2 young border collies for about a week. We were very nervous about leaving our 10 month old, recently adopted, pup because she’s very shy and requires more attention. But Bailey is calm, patient and caring — so much so our sweet pup ended up wanting to cuddle with her every night 😆 She is very responsive, provided daily updates/pics + runs for our high energy pups and treated our house like it was her own. She was even willing to stay an extra night after we missed our connecting flight last minute and were unable to get home. We will definitely be booking her again and I’m sure our pups can’t wait!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sun Valley is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $89 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 677 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 , 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 .

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.

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.
