I am willing to drop by for check ins, walks, feedings, and play time in the mornings and evenings. I have over 10 years of experience walking dogs. I will take my time to play with and give my upmost attention to any animals that I watch. I am willing to come to my clients home to care for any animal. Unfortunately I cannot board dogs in my house currently. I also am willing to do a small 30 min-1hr meet up so I can meet the animal and you!

“My two kitties loved their time with Katurah while I was away. The pictures and report card were so cute! Katurah was super responsive and kept me updated my whole trip. I really appreciate her communication, and reliability. Will use again for sure for peace of mind :)”
“This was the second time Jordan watched my cats and I think they remembered him because they were completely themselves around him. I love his updates from each visit. It makes it a little easier to be away from them. I'll definitely continue booking with Jordan!”
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those with specific routines. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure each pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits, walks, and basic care like feeding, bathing, and litter box maintenance. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pets are not left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate most feeding, potty, and medication schedules. I also offer flexible pickup and drop-off times when my schedule allows. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. I can separate pets if needed and always prioritize safety. For drop-in visits, I am respectful of your home and ensure your pet is cared for reliably and consistently.

Im currently working part time so there’s worry about my schedule I work around it easily. When scheduling I take into account my own animals as well and don’t take on more than I can handle. I take my 2 dogs for walks everyday they get baths when dirty and are very well trained.

“Nevaeh was punctual and she took good care of our pets. The shy one actually went up to her for a sniff of her hand. She followed the daily routine and sent daily communications at visit times. I highly recommend her. Thank you Nevaeh.”
“I was very happy having Emily care for my two cats while I was away for 9 days. She kept me informed and updated with photos and my place was very tidy when I arrived home. Would highly recommend Emily’s petsitting services.”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for my entire life. From volunteering and working in humane societies and other shelter settings, to fostering and owning pets.

About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life & cannot wait until I have a nice yard to adopt one of my own! I am no stranger to walks/jogs, throwing the ball or carrying a bag for when the time comes! I have no professional experience with training but would be open to working on commands upon request! I’m currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can work from anywhere so in-home sitting wouldn’t be an issue. I go on walks everyday and think it would be fun to have a buddy to walk around with me! In clients home services would be followed as directed by the client. Feeding schedule, walking schedule, playing, potty break schedule (or litter scooping) would need to be outlined to ensure your pet is receiving the care they need!
“Kerry went above and beyond expectation! She cared for my little one so well. I’m excited to have found such a reliable and kind hearted sitter, as I will be turning to her wonderful services in the future. Thank you!”
About: From young pups to aging/declining dogs, I have cared for their specific needs. I have also taken care of friendly cats as well as scaredy cats. My personality seems to make animals feel safe and loved. I work part time for The Cleveland Metroparks. I believe health & fitness is good for us and for our fur babies! I can help. I am flexible and can follow the routine you provide for your pet. I enjoy being friendly to all animals and truly care for them.
About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and cannot sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!
About: For in-home doggy daycare, I will make sure the doggies are played with, pet, and fed. I have a lot of love to give! If I am checking in on your dog in your own home I will make sure they feel some love that day and are given the attention they deserve. I have had animals my whole life from horses to dogs to chickens. I have had large dog breeds weighing over 150 lbs (caucasian Shepherds) and small beagles. Your dog will have potty breaks as often as they need, I have a very large yard for them to play in. With your permission and weather permitting they will be out as often as they would like! Dog park visits with prior approval after first stay. I currently work partly remote. I will only accept overnight care for animals that I can be home with also during the day. For visiting I’m wrapped up by 4, and have plenty of time for walks and visits. Love and respect go a long way for me! I try to treat animals as kindly and respectfully as we can. Safety is a huge part of my beliefs and will take the utmost responsibility to ensure all pups are safe. We take things slowly to make sure all humans and dogs are safe and happy.
“We are officially recurring customers. Amber is awesome! She not only cares for the boys but makes sure my house is in good order. She cleaned up the entire yard after my boys which was above and beyond expectations.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Valley City is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Valley City
We had a great experience with Mikayla during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. She followed all the instructions we left, made sure food and water were taken care of, and spent time giving our dog attention and exercise. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our dog was being looked after by someone responsible and thoughtful while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Valley City is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $16 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,293 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Valley City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valley City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
