“Rylinn took great care of our dogs! She even watered our plants, brought in mail and washed sheets and towels. I couldn't even tell she was there. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Brittany was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she took amazing care of him - he usually doesn't do well without us but was clearly comfortable with Brittany and her family! We really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures, and Brittany went out of her way to drop him back off at our place. We'll definitely be using her services again!”
“Allie was truly a God send! Our dogs were so well taken care of. Allie kept us updated entire time with videos and updates. She is so organized and very thorough with the particulars. She also kept the house spotless! This made our quick trip so worthwhile! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Joylyn was the absolute best watching our dog. She was very communicative and really made us feel comfortable being away as we knew our dog was getting excellent care!”
“Michelle is such a calm and reassuring presence around dogs. She can read their body language and reacts exactly how the dog needs. I would be thrilled to have her watch my dog again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lexie! This was my first time using a pet sitting service and I was a little nervous, especially since my dog Brewer can be awkward and reserved with new people. Lexie was wonderful with him—patient, understanding, and made him feel comfortable right away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated, which really put my mind at ease. I never had to worry about Brewer’s routine being disrupted or him feeling lonely. I’m so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Our dog loved Zoe! He was so happy to see her that he’d cry and lean on her. This speaks volumes to what a great job she did with him! I’d have her sit with him again and again! So lucky we found her!”
About: I treat every pet like family, not just a client. Early mornings, late nights, weekends— I work around your schedule. You’ll always know how your pet is doing with fun photos! I work part time at an assisted living facility in Lakewood (20 hours at most) so I’ve got lots of time for play and snuggles Before any booking, I schedule a meet and greet to make sure the fit is right for everybody involved. I stick to routines and give one on ones with each pet in the home!
“Chloe was phenomenal with our dogs - she watched them for a long weekend when we were out of town. Not only did she tax excellent care of our fur babies, she left the house in pristine condition - she went above and beyond what I requested - what a superstar!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding someone to stay overnights with my pets. That was a really big deal for me. James has been amazing since the first time we talked. He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!”
“Kayla B. was awesome! So happy to have found her to watch our dog. She gave him lots of tender loving care and kept us up to date on his wellbeing. She took care of our home as though it was her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From childhood through adulthood, I’ve regularly spent weeknights and weekends caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs exercise or a more relaxed companion who just wants company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care—not just a quick check-in. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In a client’s home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos. If pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I supervise closely, keep them on their usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of interaction and care.
“Kate was such a life savor booking us at the last minute! She was very communicative and prompt! Our little guy is hard to warm up to and she was very patient with him and made him feel very comfortable! She sent lots of photos and videos of our pups while we were away and missing them!! We will use her again!”
“Maura was great with Rory, he loved to snuggle with her on the couch. Took great care of him-sent pictures and updates and made him feel comfortable and relaxed. Also was very respectful of the home. Will be happy to have her back.”
About: I have grown up with my own dog my whole life. Besides my own pup, I have experience watching serval different breeds of dogs (often very energetic). As well as, I have taken good care of a few very cute kitties I work a part time job where I may be away for 4-5 hours max but have a flexible schedule and will make sure to find time to help your pet feel well loved! As well as my evenings are ways free. I have good awareness of surrounding and can take good care of your pup while on plenty of walks and make sure they get the care they need.
About: I have been in a dog family my whole life! Labs at my dads & many different rescues. Pittbulls, chihuahuas, and everything in between. There is not a puppy (all dogs are puppies to me lol 🐾🐕) that I have not found a bond with. I am respectful and loving to them, their parents and space. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 2 year now, with 300+ visits under my belt. For me personally, my world is my/all dogs, my/all children, myself/all women, and nature! We are out almost every day enjoying life and being of service to others. I would love to become fast friends with you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time at a women's shelter for domestic violence on the weekends. I am home with my daughter and my teenage son for the summer. I'm in and out of the house a couple times a day, doing dog walks or taking kids places. But my availability is widely open and pretty typical with a wonderful support system. I can usually make anything work. I have a fenced in yard with a wonderful dog door in our laundry room. They have an easy ramp to go in and out of our backyard, with 2 friendly dogs to hang out with our 12lbs lil boy, almost 2 years old and the most gentle mixed lab/shepard/collie, six years old sweet girl. Our yard is shady, with a lot of big trees, plenty of room to roam around! Plus our neighbor dogs are our best friends too.

FAQs for House Sitting - Valley City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Valley City on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valley City. 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 Valley City 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 Valley City 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 Valley City 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
