“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“Jeffrey took care of our two dogs and house for a week, and we were so pleased with his careful, loving handling of animals and home. He communicated regularly and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying. Highly recommend Jeffrey! Super reliable and great to work with.”
“Nicole was great with the dogs, even with our old girl having some accidents in the house. Nicole was timely, communicative and trustworthy. Would love to work with he again!”
“Prior to our international trip we were a little nervous about finding the right sitter for our two dogs. However, we could not be more relieved to find someone as great as Tiffany. We got daily updates with photos and videos showing how great of a time they were having. When we returned, we found the house better than we left it and our dogs were so calm and relaxed. A testament to her great care and attention to them. Will absolutely be reaching out to Tiffany again for our next trip.”
“Mariah took excellent care of our two pups while we were on vacation! She was extremely responsive, sent pictures throughout her stay, and appreciated our dogs for their quirky traits 🙃. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Melissa did a great job of taking care of our three dogs . She house sat our One Golden , a mutt and a young sheppard. She texted us with questions and updates . We were able to leave without worrying about our babies. What a blessing she is. Great dog sitter !”
“Maggie was awesome! She house sat for us for about a week with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She sent us daily photos & updates and our house was exactly the way we left it - She kept it super clean and our pets seemed very happy and well cared for. Since she works from home, it made us feel at ease knowing someone was there to spend time with the pets during the day. Will definitely book her again in the future!”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
“As always, you provided Top Notch care and Love to my pets! I appreciate you So much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ I hope your friend’s wedding is wonderful and you have a great trip! Till next time!”
“Can not rave about Alicia enough. She communicated with me the whole time, went out of her way to help me out and really took care of my dogs. Would absolutely book again if she’s willing!”
“Me and my boyfriend have used Crystal as a sitter many times now, and we always know that our pets are going to be well taken care of. She’s so sweet, and you can tell she really cares about our animals. We always come home to very happy, and healthy pets!”
“Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.”
“Anne was great with our two dogs and cat. She was easy to communicate with and flexible when our flight home was delayed. We'd absolutely book her for house sitting again! We really appreciate her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Valley
I really appreciate it having Bailey with Jasper well we were away. She stayed over at the house since my dog is older and I'd figure he would be more comfortable in his own house. She kept him company during her stay and also was very communicative when the AC started malfunctioning. I am so grateful she was there and was flexible and helpful about the whole situation. Jasper was very well taken care of and I can tell she loves what she does. I definitely recommend Bailey to petsit and will absolutely use her again.
Ja was a great communicator, sent lots of pics of our dog, and left our house in excellent condition. I felt particularly bad for not setting up our house code properly when we left, which had her stuck outside our house for a half hour, but she was gracious about it and loved on our dog. Thank you Ja for helping us out, and on short notice to boot!
Kate did a fantastic job taking care of our house, English bulldog & herd of tortoises. One of the tortoises even laid eggs while we were away and Kate was all over it, she supervised the process and retrieved the eggs for me too! Everything was right as rain when we got back. Kate was super communicative and engaged throughout the whole time we were gone.

We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Marley! From start to finish, she was so responsible and communicative, keeping us updated the entire time we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog as so well loved, safe, and happy. We also came home to a clean house which is so nice. Highly recommend Marley!
Natalie stayed at our house and took incredible care of our puppy, Peach! She was communicative, sent daily photos, and cared for/trained/played with Peach perfect. She also kept our house in perfect condition. We highly recommend her to any Rover dog owners! 🐶 🍑

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunset Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunset Valley on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunset 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 Sunset 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 Sunset 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 Sunset 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.
