“Celia did a great job taking care of our dogs, cats, horses and house. She sent pictures, kept us updated in the pets, and took great care of them. The house was clean. I highly recommend Celia and will call her again the next time we go on vacation.”
“Gina was amazing with our family dog, Daisy. While I was away in Florida, Gina took excellent care of Daisy, ensuring her daily feeding and walks. All the while, Gina kept me updated on Daisy's progress. She also took care of some things around the house, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Gina to watch your dog while you are away on business or on a vacation. I have recommended her to two close friends for their dogs.”
“Jessie made these anxious parents of an anxious 2 yr old spoiled huskey mix feel so much more at ease while gone on a very important weekend! I pray she stays in our area!!! Our new Maggie Mae’s BFF :)”
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
“Daniella did a pretty good job during her 3 day stay. She took care of Mochi, Buddy and Zoey and treated our dogs like her own. She also followed all instructions on feeding time, taking our dogs in the backyard and taking the time to spend time with them. I was also impressed when she also cleaned our kitchen counter tops, wiping down the cabinet doors and she even swept/ mop the floor and threw the garbage. That's what you call going up and beyond her job duties! We ask her to just take care or our dogs and she did more than that. I would highly recommend her to our family and friends! We also going to book her this coming December because we know we can count on her.”
“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”
“Brandie is absolutely incredible. We have two cats and a little dog, all boys. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and struggles with new people. Within the first few hours he warmed right up to Brandie. All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small.

I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away

“Max was amazing with photo updates and text messages throughout our 5 day away vacation. We could tell our dog and cat were calm and happy due to his attentive care. He was prompt in arriving which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and have already booked him for our next away trip!”
“Tabi, Mia and Sadie let us know that Shuree took excellent care of our dogs for 7 days. She stayed with them and fed and medicated them. She took them for a walk and kept them safe. She was very responsive to my questions and sent cute photos of them. We will use her services again and can recommend her to others.”
“Natalie beat my expectations! She was extremely attentive of the dogs in every way. My house looked better than when I left it and the dogs were very sad to see her go. I will certainly be using her services again and I wish I used her in the past. I’m recommending her to all the pet owners in my family because she made house sitting feel truly seamless. She even watered my plants and picked up after my dogs which were things I told her she didn’t have to do! Thank you so much!”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
About: I adore animals. I've had dogs and cats around my whole life, I'm the first person my family goes to for help when they go on trips. Willing to work with any creatures 😁 I work full time Monday through Friday, we can always chat about my schedule if you need! I'm normally home on weekends so I'm looking to fill the rest of my schedule. I live with my parents still so I can't bring pets into my home, but we have a husky malamute who we've trained to not eat our cats or rats!
“Ian was an absolutely amazing animal and house sitter. I give him 10 stars. He was attentive, kind and trust worthy. I felt safe knowing Ian was providing the best care to my dogs and taking care of my home. My puppies loved spending time with Ian and felt comfortable in his care. He was loving and observant to any of our puppies needs. He followed all our directions carefully on how to tend to our dogs and give them their medicine correctly. I will definitely be asking Ian to help me again with my babies, he is the only sitter I will be using from now on. Thank you so much for all you did for my dogs Ian and thank you so much for making sure they felt safe in their home when I was away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 313 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valley Springs. 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 Springs 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 Springs 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 Springs 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
