Jaynell is a fantastic return favorite sitter for Pancake. She always does the little extra things too, and Pancake feels comfortable with her even through often standoffish.

Your pets are in great hands with Ashley! She took care of our pets for over a week and was able to help us out when our schedule changed unexpectedly. Our vacation was so much easier knowing Ashley was in charge. She communicated well and was super easy to work with. We highly recommend Ashley if you’re looking for a pet sitter.

Mariah stayed in our home and dog sat our two dachshunds over the weekend. She's really genuine and reliable & honest person. She took great care of our fur babies and our home and followed all the instructions we left. I will definitely rebook with her again in the future. It's hard to find people you can count on and trust but she checked all our boxes and was great!!! I highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter!

Tiffany was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our 8-month-old puppy, Disco, for 7 days/nights at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tiffany's communication was top notch-she sent photos every morning and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of Disco, ensuring she was happy and well-cared-for. It was clear that she also respected our home-when we returned, the house was clean, and everything was how we left it. Tiffany went above and beyond, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Megan enough! She is reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that my dogs weren't only cared for, but also having a great time while I was gone. I always have a tough time finding a sitter because one of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs and nervous when meeting new people. But from the first meet-and-greet, it was obvious that Megan was an animal lover and experienced with nervous dogs, so mine warmed up to her in no time! She sent regular updates with photos to let me know what they were doing, and when my trip was unexpectedly extended another day, she offered to stay longer which made my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter, and she'll be the first person I reach out to when I need another one in the future!

I see why Woody has gotten so many positive reviews about both the care they provide for the dogs but also the person they are. I am so particular about who cares for my dogs while I’m away and woody made me feel so secure!!!! My dogs adored her and so do I!! They updated me throughout the day and sent personalized videos. They were attentive and listened carefully when I discussed my dogs and what they’re used to. You can tell she really cares. On a personal note - Woody is a bright light of a person, such a pleasure to have found them and met them for future dog sitting needs. Thank you Woody

Jeffrey was amazing. We have two cats -- one of which is a very rambunctious tuxedo kitten. He ensured that Leo had plenty of play time so that his older sister, Ella, would still feel happy about life. The house was spotless when we returned and it was clear that he completely spoiled them! He's a very kind soul. Highly recommend him to watch your fur babies!

I cannot say enough great things about Magdalena! She is the best pet sitter I could have ever hoped for. I was SO extremely nervous about leaving my 2 dogs and cat for 8 days when I went on a cruise, but Magdalena made me feel so comfortable. She came over and met me and my animals once before booking and then again a month later to the day before I left for the cruise, which was very nice of her and really put me at ease. While I was away, she was extremely responsive, communicative (and funny!) and sent me daily updates with pictures, which I also really appreciated. She went out of her way to make me and my animals happy and comfortable. She followed all of my directions to a T (2 typed pages! haha) and I came home to a house that was cleaner than I left it. My dogs were totally themselves when I got back and they are pretty sensitive, so I know they were happy/comfortable with her. Magdalena really went above and beyond my expectations and I could not be more grateful for her because it really improved my vacation having someone I like/trust in my home with my babies. There is absolutely NO DOUBT that I would use Magdalena again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunset Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sunset Valley on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,744 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunset Valley. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
