“Amy took great care of our pets! She stayed over and provided a lot of attention to our pets. Luna is an energetic dog who needs lots of play time which she provided. Thanks for the pictures!”
“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
“Cassandra was amazing. She did an awesome job taking care of my dog. Cassandra was very loving ❤️ and my dog felt very comfortable around her. Thank you Cassandra. I would definitely book her again. I'm very happy to have joined Rover. Thank you so much.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Cindy! She had great communication from start to finish, was incredibly friendly, and really took the time to engage with our pets. What impressed me most was how comfortable and at ease our pets felt with her. They can be anxious around new people, but they seemed completely relaxed and happy in her care. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Shelby is an amazing pet sitter! Her communication was top-notch, and my dogs were happy and well-behaved when I returned home. I'll be booking with her again. I highly recommend her for peace of mind while you're away!”
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).
“Taylor is amazing. We have had her a fee times now and not only does she make us feel comfortable leaving our pups, but the pups feel comfortable being with her. Highly recommend!!”
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!
“I just wanted to express my gratitude to Ruby for doing such a fantastic job looking after my baby. We were away for three nights, and Ruby stayed in constant communication throughout. As someone who travels frequently, I am relieved to have found someone trustworthy to take care of my dog while I'm away. I highly recommend Ruby's services and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Diane was wonderful all around. Diane is a very gentle and caring caregiver and worked out perfect for Archie. She sent lots of pictures and overall it was a wonderful experience. Very tidy and thoughtful with feedback. We will use Diane's services again.”
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: 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!

“Cassandra was wonderful! She has great attention to detail, asking questions and making sure she had all of the information she needed before we left. She took great care of all of our pets while house sitting, including our very special kitty who needs medication twice a day.

We've used Jacelyn a few times now. She is responsible, has nice communication. Very attentive to our pets, their health and changes which is very comforting for our older pets. And has respected all our specific requests for time and attention during overnight care.
Kayla was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Topi in her care while I was away, and I truly appreciated having someone I could trust to look after my girl. It means so much to know Topi is in good hands when I can’t be there. Thank you, Kayla, for taking such good care of her! ❤️
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!!
Ginny was great - she came over to our apartment for a meet & greet prior to booking so she could get to know our pups, and when I accidentally messed up the apartment #/door code she handled it with ease. Our boys were so calm when we got home and our place looked great. Will definitely book again!
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.

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.

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. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
