“Tyler took wonderful care of our three dogs. They absolutely love her. She listened to our instructions and made us feel confident that our dogs were safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love and attention. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week, including weekends. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of exercise, play, affection, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, and exercise needs before every visit. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive patient, attentive, and loving care. I know how important it is to find someone dependable, attentive, and compassionate, and that’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide for every pet I meet.
“Here's a thoughtful review for your dog sitter Jenna: We are incredibly grateful to have found Jenna as our in-home dog sitter. She’s been amazing with our fur baby, treating them with so much love and care every time we need her. Jenna’s communication is always spot on, keeps us updated and is quick to respond, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s not only reliable but genuinely passionate about taking care of our dog, and it shows! We feel lucky to have her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Jenna!”
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”
About: I used to have a dog of my own. Having him from 9 months old, to being 9 years old. He was a very easy obedient dog to take care. I miss him so much! Since my place isn't big enough to have any dogs. I would love to take care of other people's dog or puppy. I'm currently unemployed. Putting together some ideas for new project. Just need to work to keep myself busy with Rover.com. It would fit into my schedule M-F when parents are at work or on vacation. I'm a clean and organized person. I always made sure that my dog was clean and also to potty on command. I like to make sure to give the dog attention and be playful and have training them at the same time.
“Angela was absolutely amazing! She is so nice and she took very good care of our fur baby, Nora, while away for the weekend. Nora bonded with her immediately during our meet and greet and she left the house clean and Nora very happy! We definitely want to book her in the future. Thank you so much, Angela!”
“Always such a pleasure to see Victoria. Our husky, Mika, absolutely loves her. Her dog, Nova, is the sweetest too. Victoria is so wonderful with Mika and makes sure that she has a safe and fun time! Highly recommend.”
“Tasha did a great job of house/pet sitting for us. She kept us informed with frequent texts and pictures so we were assured things were going well. Our dog Ivy obviously enjoyed being with her. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Tasha kindly agreed to stay later when our return flight was delayed. We highly recommend Tasha.”
About: I've always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even cute little guinea pigs! I've owned them, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience pets need. I also lived with roommates who had cats, which gave me experience helping care for them as well. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate more time and attention to your babies. I'm available for longer visits, walks, playtime, and/or keeping them company throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and plenty of indoor space for pets to feel comfortable. There aren't many people in my home, so I can give your pet lots of attention and closely monitor their needs. I make sure they always have fresh water, and a clean/safe environment. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident they’re doing well while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my own pets for 15+ years, especially my golden retrievers I have had for 13 years. I have often been the main caregiver (vet visits, feeding, bathing, walking, and play) for all my pets. I have an affinity for all animals and especially love making new fur friends everywhere I go. I am currently seeking part-time work while also allowing myself the ability to work with pets and assist owners with help in raising their fur family members for a fair price and a kind heart. I have a fenced in yard, however I live in a more natural setting that has coyotes, so my pets stay mostly indoors with me. I have created pet friendly spaces for them (taking in account of dangers that could affect them like plants, allergens, and uncomfortable noises). I make sure to be aware of pets fears, anxieties, and allergies when I am in charge. The more information I have, the better care and love I can give.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog in my household and I was able to successfully acclimate them to one another using patience and positive reinforcement; and the 3 are inseparable now! Animals are my everything, I'm a recent college graduate with aspirations of running a non-profit animal sanctuary in the future. I'm currently working part-time and can meet any of your pet sitting needs with my schedule flexibility. I also go on daily walks as well, so any dog walks would perfectly fit my schedule. I am very experienced with caring for a variety of animals, whether it be in my home, a fairly large property with friendly animals, or yours; I can meet any of your pet sitting needs!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since 2018. I am a volunteer at Camp Companion, as well as in the hospital, so I’m familiar with how to care for humans and animals! I'm currently on a sabbatical so I have a lot of availability for whatever will best suit your needs! I am happy to help in whatever ways I can as we head into summer and can provide care on both weekdays and weekends. I am always aware of my surroundings, supervising both my own and my pets’ safety. My dog at home has lifelong allergies, so I’ve had to build trust with her so we can adhere to her medications, keep her clean, and keep her happy. I’m very adaptable and quick to create a welcoming environment.
About: I have taken care of pets and been around pets since I was a child. I mainly specialize in cats but I have experience with medium and little sized dogs too. I have had my own 2 kitties for about 8 years. I am a gig worker and I love having flexibility. It is great for being able to drop in and play with your animals or feed them. With my knack for attention to detail I can easily pay mind to any specific instructions I may need to follow. I give my pets love, patience and understanding and would treat your animals with the same respect I give my own.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah — a licensed, insured, Pet CPR/First Aid certified pet care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I provide calm, structured, home-style care for dogs who do best in a smaller, quieter environment rather than a loud, chaotic facility. My home is set up for comfort, routine, and supervision — where dogs can relax, play, nap, and settle in naturally. I’m home full-time and keep my group intentionally small so each dog gets real attention, not just rotation-based care. Some dogs love playtime, some prefer lounging, and others just want to be near a human — I adjust to what helps each dog feel safe and comfortable. Meet & greets are required for all new dogs. I only accept dogs who are social, manageable, and able to coexist respectfully with people and other dogs. If a dog is not a good fit for my environment, I won’t move forward — safety and stability always come first. I’m experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, shy dogs, and dogs who benefit from a calmer pace. If you’re looking for personalized care in a real home with an experienced sitter — not a crowded kennel — I’d love to connect. I’m home full-time, and caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. Pups start their day with breakfast, outside time, and gentle play or walks. Throughout the day, I balance playtime, enrichment, and rest so everyone stays happy and relaxed. Evenings are calm — think cuddle time, soft music, or a cozy movie while everyone settles in. I keep each dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and comfortable right away I have a secure fenced yard, safety gates, and one friendly resident dog who was raised in a doggy daycare environment and helps new guests feel at ease. I keep my group small so each dog gets personal attention and close supervision. Dogs are matched by energy and comfort level — some love to play, others prefer to relax. I can easily crate if needed, but most guests feel right at home free-roaming under calm, watchful care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years now. I have 5 of my own doggos ranging from ages 2-8! I’ve lived with all of them at some point in time and am comfortable with taking care of more dogs. Currently living with my two 8 year old yorkiepoos I’m shifting to part time and will be available daily and soon will be free all day weekly in June 2024! I’m going to be relaxing until I start grad school. I am comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and sleeping in the same vicinity as dogs. I have my own fenced backyard and will always be attentive to ensure safe playing
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Anthony! He cared for our severely injured pup with the utmost compassion, patience, and professionalism. From the very start, Anthony followed every single care instruction with precision, making sure our dog was comfortable, safe, and on track with recovery. Beyond just being attentive, he showed our pup so much genuine love and affection—it truly gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in the best hands possible. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, but that’s exactly what Anthony did. We are beyond grateful for his kindness and dedication, and we couldn’t feel more appreciative. We are already looking forward to having him doggy sit for us again in the future. Thank you for everything, Anthony!”
“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”

About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a deep understanding of pet needs, behavior, and well-being. From playful pups to independent felines, I’ve honed my skills in providing love, attention, and tailored care to pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it's managing feeding schedules, administering medications, or ensuring plenty of exercise and affection, I treat every furry companion as if they were my own. My experience ensures your pets are in the best possible hands, giving you peace of mind while they thrive under my care. I am working part time at an elementary school only a few minutes from home and love to care for furbabies in my free time! I have a fenced in backyard and front yard with extra protection for small dogs as well as a large crate if your baby is crate trained.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Valinda
I can’t say enough good things about Beverly! She stayed at our house to take care of our dogs while we were away, and honestly, it made our trip so much easier knowing they were in her hands. She sent us the sweetest photo updates throughout her stay and kept us in the loop about everything, from playtime to nap time. It was clear our pups absolutely loved her, and they were happy and tired in the best way when we got home. We’re already hoping Beverly is available the next time we need to travel. Thank you so much, Beverly!
Jaylin and Isaiah housesat and took care of my sweet anxious dog, Magpie while I was out of town. I returned home to a completely spotless house, towels folded, and a relaxed dog who was listening to some zen dog calming youtube videos, which I thought was extra sweet and thoughtful. They were great communicators and sent me lots of cute picture updates. I'd definitely book them again!
Tasha did a great job of house/pet sitting for us. She kept us informed with frequent texts and pictures so we were assured things were going well. Our dog Ivy obviously enjoyed being with her. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Tasha kindly agreed to stay later when our return flight was delayed. We highly recommend Tasha.
Miah has been the best person I’ve used on Rover. I have a hard time leaving my senior pups because they are my babies. But boy did they love Miah! She was very attentive and mindful of their senior needs. I always received updates and pictures daily. Miah is so responsible and will truly love your pets as if they are her own. My house was left as if we never went on vacation. We were away for a week and although we were far I always felt that my fur babies were in good hands. As if family was caring for them. She truly was the best ! And I could tell that they missed her and were looking for her when we got back. We will be contacting her for the future! Thank you from our family Miah.
Dev is absolutely incredible and my number one choice any time I need a pet and house sitter! She is not only incredible with my animals (which include a large, senior dog losing his hearing and sight, my three legged cat, and two rambunctious kittens) but she takes care of our home so thoughtfully! She sends updates and photos of our babies every day and gives us a recap of everything when she leaves and is so easy to contact when we reach out. I will always highly recommend her and truly trust her in my space when we have to leave for extended periods which is so important!
Joanna is an absolute gem of a cat sitter. She watched my cat Spooky overnight several days while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She’s a true animal lover—patient, warm, and totally unfazed by Spooky’s sometimes feisty (and bitey!) personality. Not only did she take the time to play with him and earn his trust, but she even got him to cuddle—no small feat! Joanna was great about sending updates, photos, and videos, which made being away so much easier. She also helped administer his new medication, which involves using a cat inhaler and requires holding him still, which she handled with ease. I came home to a spotless apartment, as if no one had been there. I would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat.

FAQs for House Sitting - Valinda
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Valinda on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valinda. 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 Valinda 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 Valinda 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 Valinda 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 Valinda. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
