“Nate watched my 2 dogs in my apartment for me. He swung by beforehand to do a meet and greet. I liked him a lot and it seems like he took good care of my girls. I received photos and updates during his stay. I felt comfortable having Nate watch them and will definitely use their services again! Thank you.”

About: Growing up with dogs, I’ve developed a deep love and care for all animals! I truly enjoy spending time with these furry companions and making sure they get the love and attention they need. I really enjoy our walks at the park close to home. We can snuggle together while I’m doing my homework, and I always have a blast playing fetch and tug-of-war with my furry friends!⚽️🪁🤗 I have a spacious patio where you can safely crate your pets if needed. They’ll have plenty of room to play and explore. I’m always vigilant about leashes and aware of other dogs in the area.🧘🏻‍♀️🏠

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies who need extra patience and structure to older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or a little more reassurance. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic commands, crate routines, administering simple medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. Thank you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be consistent and dependable, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I enjoy spending time outdoors, taking walks, and having animals nearby, so caring for pets feels like a natural and enjoyable part of my day. I am also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you are away. Thank you! Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar, comfortable, and stress, free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, bathroom routines, crate preferences, and household rules carefully. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, exercise, and a safe, welcoming environment. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and never feel overlooked or alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focused on helping their pet feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I would give my own. Thank you!

“An absolute godsend - at the last minute we needed a pet sitter in our house and she said yes! The minute she walked in our normally growling grumpy little girl Doxie rolled over and let her rub her belly and we knew we could go to our event with no worries. When Andrea left, that same grumpy little dog followed her, barking and wagging her tail and offering her toy. Both dogs loved her so much. We are very happy and can’t wait to have her back.”

About: I own my own home in a beautiful community in Indio.My backyard is fully enclosed. Your pet will be welcomed and treated as a member of the family. I have owned and cared for dogs all my life...every breed, from small terriers to greyhounds! I work from home, therefore am able to give my full attention and presence to my "guests". Most recently, I spent the months of May and June in Seattle, where I cared for 3 dogs in different households. Each dog had their own unique, wonderful personality and I so enjoyed spending time and caring for them all! I live with Callie, my little mini Labradoodle...no small children, no cats...just us! I'm well versed in giving medication , both orally and via injection. I would love to care for your pet. About this sitter: I am a total dog lover, well-educated, own my own home and am very athletic and fit. Your pet will enjoy not only a comfortable home while you are away, but also have the fun of walks, hikes (if desired!) and tons of affection! If you would prefer to have your dog stay in his/her own environment, I would be happy to discuss a stay at your home. I have great references and you would enjoy the peace of mind of having your pup in their own environment with a well-qualified, reliable "surrogate mom"! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life and have owned dogs..large and small...throughout the years. I now own my little Labradoodle, Callie.

About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!

“Erica was amazing. We found her last minute when our faithful pet sitter was out of town, and she quickly stepped in to help. She came to our home, met little Missy, and took wonderful care of her. Erica kept us updated with photos and let us know how Missy was doing throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Valerie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 364 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valerie. 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 Valerie 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 Valerie 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 Valerie 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
