“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Ana was so sweet and patient with my anxious rescue pup! She sent updates and my dog never does this, but she went to the door looking for Ana after she left 😭 highly recommend!”
“Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Jeffrey did a great job with my dog. She was content when I got home & not overly clingy, which tells me she felt safe in his care & got plenty of attention. 10/10 would book again.”
“Magdalena went up and beyond. I was nervous leaving my dog. Magdalena eased my mind at the meet and greet. She sent pics and cute texts every day. She cleaned the house, which wasn't expected, yet appreciated. When I came home my dog didn't care I was there. She's probably wondering where Magdalena was. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only did my dog, Ellie, have a blast with her, but she was happy and healthy when I returned. she was also very great with her communication with me and left my house in great shape.”
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
“Tiffany was great with my dog - it was clear she was happy and well taken care of. Tiffany was also flexible with my travel plans and was respectful to my house. I'd be happy to work with her again. Thank you!”
“Nicole is the best, and me and Cubbie are lucky to have her to help us out. My lil man is having issues and she handled his issues with care and professionalism. Nicole's awesome and we appreciate her.”
“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!”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“Mariah was very attentive to my instructions and left my house looking spotless. She made sure to send plenty of updates and my boys looked like they had a blast. Highly recommend Mariah!”
“Ali was great! She kept me informed of anything out of the norm. It is so nice to finally find someone I can actually trust with my dog/home. I look forward to using her in the future. Thanks Ali!!!”
“Brittany is a gem! She was communicative every step of the way and took excellent care of our pets. They hardly seemed to notice we were gone! We will definitely be booking Brittany's services again.”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
About: I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care! My family has always had cats and dogs so I’m always happy and comfortable around animals. I’m very patient, calm and attentive. My cat was very sick when I first got him but his symptoms were very subtle, the vet said had I not been so adamant about getting him checked multiple times, he probably would not have made it. I love all animals and would bring that level of attention to any fur baby that I sit for. I know that each animal requires specific care and is unique in personality and I am happy to work within whatever sitting style would make your pet comfortable and happy. I am trusted sitter for friends and family and would treat your pet with the care and love that I would treat my own. I just graduated with my masters at UT Austin so I currently have a very open schedule! I drive and would be happy to come by whenever you need. I think that it’s really important for your pet to have the care that you think is best. Whatever your routine or situation I’m happy to accommodate to keep your pet on schedule. For example, I am very particular about how I take care of my own cat in my home. He has an automatic feeder and a water fountain so that he is always fed on time and has enough water throughout the day. Each night I play fetch with him for at least 15 minutes to get his energy out before bed. At night time he sleeps next to me the whole time. This is what works for us but everyone’s situation looks different. If you give me a step by step of how your pet likes to be cared for I can assure you I will do exactly that :)
“Clair was amazing! Just after it and rebooked her house boarding. Hanai was super well taken care of, she kept me posted about everything and left my house spotless.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Valley
Alexa is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She goes above and beyond in every way. While we were away, she noticed our vegetable garden was drying up in the heat, picked the vegetables, and even froze them so they wouldn't go to waste. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare and appreciated. Our pups absolutely adore her. She brought them special treats and gives them so much love and attention. As an extra surprise, she even left us a sweet gift, which was such a kind and personal touch. We came home to happy dogs, thoughtful surprises, and complete peace of mind. Once again, we can't recommend her highly enough!
Michelle was fantastic! She took excellent care of our home and animals during our long weekend away. We appreciated her regular updates and the photos she sent us, which made us feel comfy when leaving our furry friends home while we were away! I would definitely recommend Michelle's pet sitting!
Bella is the best! She stayed with our pup, Marlo, for an extended weekend over the 4th and he had THE best time! Not only is she quick to respond, but she goes above and beyond by getting your pup out and about on trails, parks, and numerous walks. Marlo can be a bit skittish at times, but is filled with energy- taking him in public can be a bit nerve wracking, but Bella was able to help him get out of his shell to enjoy these new adventures. While she was here, she kept up with Marlo’s puppy training skills, loved on him lots, and bonus- left our home spotless. We couldn’t be more grateful and will absolutely be rebooking!
Ludo looked after our sheepdog & cat for a week stay and did an excellent job. He was great with the animals, gave them plenty of attention and they were clearly happy & provided lots of updates. Ludo was a great house guest, he left the house very tidy & was very helpful doing additional things like watering & taking the trash bins out. I thoroughly recommend him & looking forward to booking him again in the future! Thank you :)
Tiffany is AMAZING! My dogs both got skunked during her stay and she handled the situation SO well. She let us know immediately and took care of my Great Dane when she got scratched during the ordeal and was bleeding quite a bit. She kept us updated and made sure they were comfortable and safe and that the house was cleaned up. Not only that, but she also stayed close to my golden during fireworks on the fourth knowing he gets spooked AND cleaned up another health issue my Great Dane had during her stay. I hope after all that she would want to watch our pups again because we’d trust her entirely to take care of them again! Thank you for your patience and care with our babies during your stay. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.
Our dog and cat were in great hands with Baxter! She was communicative throughout the sit with updates and photos. It’s so important to know your animals are safe and happy, and Baxter provided all of that. Our house was in great shape when we got back as well. Highly recommend!
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!
Marley was wonderful with our two dogs! She was able to accommodate a 4th of July stay on fairly short notice, which we really appreciated. One of our dogs gets extremely anxious with fireworks, and Marley took such great care of her by making sure she got her medication, along with plenty of love, attention, and comfort. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such caring hands while we were away. We’d absolutely book with Marley again and highly recommend her!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,692 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.
