About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.
“Melissa did a great job and was very attentive to my corgis! They are full of personality and she embraced them so open heartily! She was very easy to work with and will definitely book again!!! Can’t thank her enough!!”
“Cat Z is a Great Pet Sitter. I received pictures and updates a couple times a day. We were very happy and had a great time in Dallas Wedding. Our home was left clean, dogs were happy and I give her a 10+++++. Thanks Cat.....I will be contacting you soon.. Tonto and Trumps mom and dad.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for many years and genuinely love animals! I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, fed, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the week and weekend! I’m available for walks, check ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, cleanliness, exercise, and making pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure at all times.
About: Since I was a little kid I’ve always loved pets, I was always the girl whose friends and family say “aw he likes you! He doesn’t really like anybody” about their pets to me. I believe pets feed a lot off of energy and they tend to love me because I have a warm and inviting energy. Because of this friends, roommates and family have entrusted me to feed, clean after, and walk their pets. I’m also a big believer that your pets are like your family and should be treated as such - so I promise to give your furry humans the same care I would give my own pets if I had any myself - I will be like their favorite aunty! I work 40 hours a week during the day and run errands after work before going home to get ready for the next day so it would be best for my schedule to currently do over night sitting when I have the next day off or a few hours on my days off I currently rent a room here in the SCV so I cannot bring pets home..yet. However I am happy to take care of them over night or for a few hours a day in their home. I think that should help with any anxiety some pets may have over being in new places or their family being away for the time being - i believe it will make trust easier with them.
About: I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence. My home is warm, relaxed, and animal-friendly with a fenced yard. We did hospice for a number of dogs and cats from 2014 to 2025, so we installed Life Proof floors and have furniture to accommodate the older ones. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe, are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed.
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
About: I am not shy to large dogs or animals in general. I do not judge dogs based on size. All dogs deserve love no matter their looks, age, or size. I’ve had bully breeds all my life and have grown accustomed to being around them. Cats I just adore too, whether they’re cuddly, or shy, I’ll be sure to treat them with respect. One thing I can say for myself is that I hope you’re okay with me giving your pets treats! Please let me know what treats your pets enjoy and I will provide them. :) My schedule is flexible and very open at the moment, all I ask is that you request the day before. If it’s last minute request however I’m open to listening to you if you really need a last minute sitter as I know things happen. What I have always been taught is to leave a space cleaner than you found it. This also may include your pet if you would like them bathed I do not mind at all. If I was to stay overnight as well do not think for one second there would be a crumb left from myself. I do not believe in leaving trash or dishes in a sink, or making myself “too at home.” I have a lot of experience in housekeeping, as my friends and families typically ask me to watch their homes for them.
“Lisa was just what we needed for our pups. She was always on time, had clear communication and made sure our pups were fed, did their potty breaks, played fetch and got lots of love. She sent us lots of cute photos, too. Definitely recommend working with her if you want a reliable pet sitter.”
“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: Sometimes I think I should be paying your pets for hanging out with me! I've had pets since I was 4 years old and always rescuing them off the streets to find their owners or good homes. Now as an adult with my own home, I continue to care for animals in every way I can. My husband and I have 2 dogs and 2 cats all rescued from various circumstances. For the past 3 years, we've fostered 13 dogs. All had their own traumas, medical problems and quirks to them so I like to think I can handle a variety of personalities and care instructions. I'm experienced in administering medication, insulin shots, medical baths and plenty of butt wiping LOL. We're a no kid household with no plans to have them, so all our "pets" are very much our four legged children. I'm a helicopter mom at its finest with my local vet and emergency vets on speed dial so rest assured your baby will be safe and loved while under my care. I love to provide photos of my little furry clients to send to their parents while their away so if you're anything like me and can't get your babies out of your mind, you'll be spammed with updates :) Feel free to reach out and ask me any concerns you may have :)
“We are so happy we found Jeff- highly recommend! He watched our big boy German Shepherd and our older Pittie. He gave them plenty of time at home, watched the house, and took care of medications and feeding regimens perfectly. A+++!”
“Danielle was the perfect match for my fur babies. She was calm, quiet, and unfazed, even when my one pup wouldn't stop barking at her. She has lots of experience with giving medications, and had no qualms caring for my dog who has seizures...administering medication 12 hours apart, and being comfortable assisting him if he had one (thankfully he didn't). Danielle had my critters feeling so comfortable that the barker even warmed up to her, and let her love on him, after just one overnight visit (that's saying a lot, since he doesn't warm up to many people). She took photos and shared them with me, and kept me up to date on how the animals were fairing. Not only did Danielle make sure my pets were well cared for, but she took time to care for my home, as well, by fixing a toilet that kept running...now that's great service! If you are looking for someone to house or pet sit, or both, you could not pick anyone better. She will be my go-to house/pet sitter from now on.”
About: Ever since I can remember, animals have been apart of my life. Animals are my entire life and I can’t wait to broaden my knowledge while taking care of more animals! I’m currently out of work, making Rover fit into my schedule perfectly! I am available anytime of the day, anytime of the week, and whenever you need! I have much experience with any size dog, making it easy for me to control and manage the animal! I have a fence at my home and will always make sure the animal is leashed if not!
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”
“Brigette is an amazing pet sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats who have very specific routines and needs. They cuddled with her which they don’t even do with our family and she took great care of our home while we were away. We received daily updates with lots of photos. The cats for sure miss you. They got a little vacation of their own with lots of play, treats and attention. Thank you Brigette for all you have done for us. You are the best!!”
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.

The average cost of House Sitting in Val Verde is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $59 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 Val Verde 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 Val Verde 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 Val Verde 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.
