“Alexa was amazing! I’m very much a “does this person have good energy?”-type-of-person and Alexa definitely has good energy! Both of our animals were comfortable with her right away. She stayed at our apartment for a week with our dog, cat, and 40+ plants. We received multiple daily updates and photos and came back to clearly content animals. My partner and I were initially a little uncomfortable with the idea of having someone in our space for an extended period of time, but with Alexa watching our critters and space we found that we weren’t worrying about the animals or the apartment at -all- while we were on vacation. Will definitely book Alexa for any future pet sitting needs. ☺️??”
“Before leaving on our vacation we felt reassured and confident that River was in good hands with Johanna. She was super attentive with calm energy- exactly what our girl needed. Came home to a clean home (which was unexpected and much appreciated) and a happy, well taken care of doggo. I highly recommend Johanna and would certainly hire her again!”
“Elena was absolutely fantastic as our puppy Kaia’s nanny! We felt completely at ease leaving her in our home while we traveled. Elena was attentive, caring, and really went the extra mile to ensure Kaia was happy and comfortable. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Deanna did a great job with our two pups! Communicating with her was a breeze. She always got back to me right away, and when we had a last minute change in plans she was very accommodating. Even though she was only at our house for one night, she sent a ton of photos and updates, which was much appreciated. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Ana was an amazing and very communicative sitter for my furbabies. She sent pictures every morning and afternoon and kept me posted about all things critters. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Lauren did a fabulous job caring for our two crazy dogs and our senior kitty. She walked the dogs daily, gave our cat her pills (no easy task), and made sure to send lots of updates. We felt super comfortable leaving our critters with her!”
“Crystal was a great sitter- kept my pup company and gave him lots of attention, sent daily updates and pics, and took good care of the house. Would def use her services again and recommend her!”
“Shanna was wonderful! She was very attentive to our demanding dachshund, Gouli, and moved slowly to gain his trust. He quickly felt at home with Shanna and was so excited to spend time with her! Looking forward to our future bookings with Shanna.”
“Aryanna was fantastic. She regularly updated us with pictures, videos and descriptions of what our boys had been up to. We’d love to have Aryanna come back again”
“Ali is simply outstanding. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little bit nervous and she put me so at ease! She was so communicative about how my dogs were doing and had plenty of updates for me before I was even able to ask. Not to mention, my dog who takes a while to warm up to people absolutely loved her! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Ali!”
“We love Victoria! She stayed in our home to take care of Buddy and Remmy. During that time, Victoria communicated well and was very respectful of my home. Buddy and Remmy enjoyed their time with her. I would most definitely recommend and would call on her again to take care of Buddy and Remmy.”
“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.”
“Jeff is great. Extremely reliable and compassionate with my dogs. He took great care of them. And left my house in the same condition as it was when I left. I highly recommend him. I have had a lot of problems with Rover in Austin and Jeff is one of the few sitters I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with”
“Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!”
“Cortney took incredible care of Baxter and Bean. They were in great spirits when we got home from a week away and Cortney left the house spotless! We can’t wait for her to stay with our boys again!”
“Megan was amazing! This booking was very last minute and it was so appreciated. Meredith loved her and we got lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be booking Megan again in the future.”
“Jeany was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lia! She went above and beyond every day—sending us multiple photo updates, taking Lia on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was happy and well cared for. Jeany followed all of our instructions closely and even managed Lia’s complicated medication schedule with ease (5 different pills/supplements at various times throughout the day!). It’s clear she’s incredibly attentive and genuinely loves what she does. We felt completely at ease knowing Lia was in such great hands. We would love for Jeany to take care of her again in the future!”
“Taking care of a 10 week old puppy, a 9 year old dog and two cats for a week is a tall order and Kate did a great job. She sent plenty of updates and photos. Would strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Valley
My fur babies are very bonded to me so leaving them is normally stressful for all of us. However, Mariah treats Ruby with such care that I can actually relax on my trips. My rescued feral cat HarleyQuinn even made an appearance this visit and she has never “appeared” for anyone before. I’m very grateful for Mariah.
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!
Rachel is a lifesaver! She stepped in for a last-minute booking and immediately put my mind at ease with her amazing care for Benny. She followed his instructions to a tee and left me feeling completely relaxed while on vacation. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️
Heather was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, flexible with our schedule, and took such great care of Oslo. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. Heather is thoughtful, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond. We would happily book her again and recommend her without hesitation!
Maddy was so wonderful caring for Joker and our home while we were out of town. We had some issues with the air conditioning and Maddy went above and beyond to help us trouble shoot and solve while we were out of town with limited service. She was truly a lifesaver and I'd trust her with our dog any time! We can't thank her enough!
Ana was amazing. She took great care for my dogs, which are a handful to say the least. Her communication was great and would provide daily updates with pictures of my pups that made me not miss them as much and reassured me that they were taken care of. If I need a sitter again I will definitely try and book her services. Thanks again Ana!
Katherine is amazing!!! She wanted our bulldog over the weekend and sent me so many updates with the most adorable pictures. She came over earlier this week to meet us and our dog. She was lovely and so easy to talk to to. She responded to messages so quickly. We will definitely be using her 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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,725 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.

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.
