About: I have cared for all sorts of pets including dogs, cats and birds for at least 10 years (not including the time I spent caring for and helping to train my own dog growing up). I would periodically watch my grandmother’s two senior schnoodles as a teenager, have been asked over the years by family friends to house/petsit for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and with different medication needs, and once lived with two cockatoos who I got to care for as well. I am currently working as a substitute teacher which means my schedule is very flexible and -with advanced notice- I can be available for longer periods during the day to dedicate plenty of time to your pet(s). Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, I do my absolute best to treat them and your space as I would my own. I know how much trust it takes to allow someone into your home with the things that mean the most to you and take that very seriously!

About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.

About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.

We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!

Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!

Seven took great care of my two Siberian Huskies and my home. From the moment I met Seven he was very kind and laughed easily, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pups and home in his care while I went on a Valentines gettaway with my family. He was very patient when I was still packing after he arrived. He took my dogs for walks, one at a time, even when it was raining. My home was clean when I got home and the dishwasher was emptied. I loved the pics he sent too! One of my dogs usually howls a lot when I let them in from outside, but he was pretty quiet. Which let me know he was content and had spent time with Seven. Thank you very much!! I would hire Seven again, and recommend him. He's a wonderful pet sitter!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!

We were extremely pleased with Jolaine's care for our home and three dogs while we were away. She was punctual, responsible, and very communicative—sending daily updates and photos that gave us great peace of mind. The dogs received plenty of attention and affection. The house was left in perfect order. We would absolutely invite Jolaine to sit for us again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Valencia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Valencia on Rover is $16.65 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 623 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valencia. 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 Valencia 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 Valencia 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 Valencia 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 Valencia. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
