“Becky was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She over communicates, shows our pups authentic love and just went above and beyond for our home outside of what we agreed too! Would highly recommend her! Just don’t overbook her schedule, then I won’t be able to book her services :)”
“Jalyne did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a week. She followed all our instructions, left the house clean, and our dog happy and well cared for! Highly recommend Jalyne.”
About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.
“Catie was so wonderful to our pup during our weekend away! She came over in advance for a meet and greet and to understand the routines, sent regular updates, and administered oral medicine! We’d be happy to have her back anytime she’s available!”
About: Ive owned Dogs for most of my life, im a owner of rescued pets, including two cats and a African grey. I've discovered my love for animals but especially Dogs during a tough time in my life where the love, compassion, and loyalty of a dog filled up a big part of my heart that ever since that day I knew what it was to value and love your dog. I'm a very down to earth person I strongly believe a dog especially can tell and will show signs of either comfort, or discomfort so I look forward to meeting new dogs and awesome pet owners. Feel free to reach out with questions if needed I'm here to help thank you. LOVE & PEACE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”
“Joe did a great job taking care of Luna. We felt comfortable that our dog and our house were in good hands. It seemed like Joe really bonded with Luna and that he genuinely enjoys working with animals.”
“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”
“Heather was absolutely AMAZING. From our initial meet and greet I knew she was such a kind soul who my dog, Fred gravitated towards. She was so kind and so responsible it really put me at ease knowing my dog was being well looked after. She was extremely accommodating by turning up at my apt at 630am the day I left early and even took my pup on a walk before i landed back on a red eye flight! I would HIGHLY recommend Heather. She kept me updated with pics of my dog throughout my week away, stayed at my apartment and looked after it so well. You could not find a better dog sitter! BOOK HEATHER NOW!!”
“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”
“Jacqueline did an excellent job house sitting for us for our dog and cat. She was responsible and communicative throughout the 5-day trip and we felt very relieved that our home and pets were in good hands. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“We had Bianca watch our pup while we were away for the weekend getting married. Our pup is dog aggressive and we are always very nervous to leave her with new people that aren’t family, but we can confidently say Bianca is now our number one choice when we need a sitter!! She was communicative, took such good care of Freya and was so cautious about her needs. Not once did I worry about our pup! 10/10 cannot recommend enough !!!!”
“Yosef took great care of our 3 cats (including one who needs twice daily medication) and our house while we were out of town. He communicates frequently and sends great photos and videos, and the cats love him.”
“Danny was so fantastic with our two dogs, Hudson and Bella. Hudson tends to jump up and bark at other pups, while Bella is a nervous dog and gets startled easily. Danny was great with both of them and their unique personalities. Danny was also super communicative, sending pics/videos, which was helpful and reassuring while we were away. I'd highly recommend him and will use him again in future when we go away.”
About: I have experience with petsitting very anxious dogs, pets with special needs, and pets who need more attention than most. Just let me know ahead of time if your dog barks at everything so I can be prepared to soothe them. I'm pretty flexible with most pets! I'm available 24/7 in Westchester, NY. I need something to do to keep me busy since I don't have much of a schedule at the moment. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please bring toys or anything else your pet uses daily. I'm pretty flexible and I can sort out the rest of anything.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Valhalla on Rover is $61.05 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 18,082 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valhalla. 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 Valhalla 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 Valhalla 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 Valhalla 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 Valhalla. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
