About: Being available to care for your fur baby would be a privilege and honor! I do have a Shih Tzu, Dodger - who is a lover of other buddies! We would require a meet and greet of course, just to make all are comfortable!! I have over 20+ years of experience caring for furry friends! I currently work full time from home, I have the flexibility to take your pups on walks, as I also have a pup myself. I just want to make sure your pup is comfortable and enjoys his/herself! I do live in an apartment - no yard, but the only time your fur baby would be out of the home is if they are leashed and accompanied by me.

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.
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”
About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now.

About: I grew up around many domesticated animals my entire childhood, not just dogs but cats, fish, birds, hamsters, etc., to the point where I fondly referred to my childhood home as a zoo. My ability to care for those different animals have not disappeared; quite the contrary, it is constantly and consistently growing. I'm currently working at a veterinary clinic with hands-on experience in regards to the medical side of animal care, and I'm going to school to become a licensed vet tech as well. You can rest assured that your beloved babies will be in confident hands, and you can rest doubly if there are more complex instructions such as daily medication requirements. I'm confident and more than happy to go the extra mile to ensure your furry pal is well-loved and well-taken care of. Ask me any questions you may have, and I'll be more than happy to tell you! As mentioned before, I work at a vet clinic, so I have hands on experience working with the medical side of pet care. Not only that, but I've owned multiple pets of various species, with my current being a feisty little orange tabby. I know the basics, I know the specifics, and I can adjust as needed to meet unique needs. I am adaptable, and will always, always, adjust as needed to make my clients and their pets feel comfortable and at ease. New environments, new strangers in the house, are all stressful changes for a pet, and I know it takes extra time and care to detail to make sure everyone involved has a safe and happy time.

About: Hi, I’m Amy! I am a responsible and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are an important part of the family. I grew up on a farm with several animals. I have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other furry friends, which has given me a good understanding of animal behavior.

However, If this is an issue, I fully understand. I am available after 5 PM for my full attention. I am available overnights on Thursdays and free most of Fridays.

Rebecca stayed in my apartment overnight to care for my dog while I was working. She was very communicative. Made sure expectations from me were clear and asked a lot of clarifying questions. She send many pictures of my dog throughout her time with her and followed my instructions to the letter. She is very kind and clearly loves animals. 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
Having a bulldog with severe separation anxiety, we were worried about leaving him for our 10 day getaway… especially since we have never before left him alone for more than a day. After interviewing Beverly, we were very comfortable allowing her to live in our home to take care of Buster and our house. She exceeded our expectations, showing us photos of her interaction with our dog and providing updates during our entire trip. We were excitedly greeted by a very happy dog upon our return. Beverly did an OUTSTANDING job!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Valinda is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
