“Shenelle was great!! She and my dog formed a bond after just one sitting. Makes me so happy to know he’s getting lots of love and great care while I’m away. Already booked her again.”
“We’re so lucky to have Katherine as our pet-sitter! Our cat Dooney loves her. We were gone for 2 weeks and had no worries about Dooney, knowing he was well-cared for. The pictures she took of him were very reassuring and better than many of the pics I took of my vacation!”
“Lane took such amazing care of our old gal, Penny! She sent tons of photo updates, spent lots of quality time with her, and walked her every day. We felt so at ease knowing Penny was in such caring hands. Would absolutely hire Lane again and highly recommend her!”
“Ally is so fantastic! This is the second time we've booked her and it couldn't have gone smoother. She's incredibly communicative and gets along with our dog and cat great! A huge miss if you aren't able to book!”
“Joanne is always great! Highly recommend. She is super detail oriented, kind, gentle with the doggies and punctual. She is the best! She even arrived at 745am to go through medications with me. Thank you joannne!”
About: I provide personalized attention for each dog, enrichment activities that give mental stimulation through play, dog-friendly outings, and of course safety always comes first! :) I’m an actor looking for part time work. I sometimes have weeks off when I’m preparing for my next job. Working with animals felt like the right job for me. I always respect your home and I know safety is very important when inviting a stranger in to take care of a pet as they are family. My goal is to ensure trust!
About: I grew up with mostly dogs, but also ended up with three cats. I’ve pet sat for family and friends. But more recently have dog sat while my clients were on vacation. They were senior dogs who needed medication and some extra love and care. I’m currently working with children during the day. I am open to evening visits after 6:30pm and my weekends are some what flexible, with enough advance notice I am free to visit or petsit if schedule permits. If I’m going to walk your dog or do a drop in on your kitty. I”ll make sure that I arrive promptly, take them for a walk or check on kitty, feed and give them attention (if they want it it) and provide update. I’ll make sure to be respectful of your space and privacy. When I sit for a family I can do drop ins or spend the night. I’ll walk, cuddle, keep your pet company, and feed them until I have to be at work in the afternoon. I”ll come back after and get back to the routine with walking, feeding, playing whatever your pet may need. I’ll make sure to clean up after my visits and respect your home.
About: I have had and cared for many different sizes and breeds of dogs my whole life. I am always a pet sitter that my friends and family can count on! I currently work part time as a barista so I always have time to take over when you need the help. You never need to worry about finding someone because I will always show up! My home is 100% pet-proofed. All windows have secure screens and my space is entirely free of toxic plants and chemicals. All cords are safely locked away and I have a quiet, dedicated room where shy fur babies can safely relax at their own pace if needed. My home is completely dog-proofed and secure for apartment living. Because I do not have a yard, all dogs are strictly 100% leashed before opening any doors for outdoor or potty breaks. I also do not care for pets from different families at the same time so there will be no issues during feeding.
“Chelsea went above and beyond to take care of Winston and Miso! Not only did she check in frequently, but she shared tons of photos and videos, and even did training with our pup. Winston can be a handful, and we felt at ease knowing Chelsea was watching after him. We would happily trust her to take care of our little ones next time we are away! Thank you so much, Chelsea!”
“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”
“Tommy is truly exceptional at what he does. We have two English Bulldogs—an adult male (3 years old) and a 4-month-old female puppy—and we entrusted him with their care in our home for a full week while we were on vacation. On the very first day of our trip, our puppy experienced a medical emergency (a UTI). Tommy immediately noticed something was wrong and acted quickly. He rushed her to the vet of our choice, kept us updated every step of the way, and administered her prescribed antibiotics for the remainder of our time away. His attentiveness and responsibility gave us incredible peace of mind. He took outstanding care of both dogs, treating them as if they were his own. When we returned home, we were touched to find a beautiful framed photo of our two babies that he had printed and gifted to us—such a thoughtful gesture. Our dogs absolutely adore him (they were genuinely depressed when he left!), and that says it all. We would welcome Tommy back without hesitation and recommend him 1000%. Thank you, Tommy! R & R 🙂”
“Liz was great! Kept me informed, took and shared pics. Took such good care of Frank. She played with him, took him on plenty of walks and followed all instructions well. We will definitely use Liz again. Thank you!”
“Vincent is the best sitter we have ever hired! We had a last minute situation come up with our boarding facility and Vincent stepped in last minute and truly saved our holiday trip. There is no better feeling than knowing your baby is taken care of while you are gone! Vincent took her on so many walks, play dates, and sent so many photos and videos. He also took amazing care of our home while we were gone! We will be rebooking with him and recommending his services to all of our friends. Thank you Vincent, you are the absolute best!”

“Hayley did a great job with my two big fluffy dogs! It was the first time I have gone away in four years because I didn't have someone I was comfortable with watching my dogs Beau and Malibu. It was the first time I have used Rover, and I was happy I have found someone who I can trust with my pups. She was very reliable and communicated with me well with texts and pics. I look forward to having Hayley help out again in the future!”

About: I have grown up with pets from as little as I can remember! Frequently taking care of my own pets, to sitting for friends, has made me confident in my experience to provide service to the animals that is loving, caring, and comforting to all parties involved! Currently searching for jobs as I just moved to the Studio City area, so my availability is as open as can be! Can work whenever is preferred for the owner's! I love to appeal to any animal and their needs, therefore any adjustment needed is one I am happy to make! If they need more walks, extra care, or any other specific attention!
“Cece is great. She took great care of our dog (who loves her!), she's totally reliable, responsive and proactive, nice person... we're very happy to have found her and will definitely have her dog sit next time we go out of town.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets, both cats and dogs, and have extensive experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities. I am reliable, attentive and committed to treating your beloved pets as the family members they are. Although I work full time during the day, I finish relatively early, making me perfectly available for reliable pet care during the afternoons, evenings and weekends. I typically care for pets in their own homes, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and affection. I put great care into keeping dogs active and content, while ensuring cats feel happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Village
Kari was a dream! From the moment we met her, she was very calm and patient with our two anxious girls who are terrified of strangers. She took lots of photos and updated us during our three days away. The house was just as clean as we left it. We’re so happy to have had her and plan on hiring her in the future for sure. So kind and professional. ☺️🩷🩷
Maizy was SO wonderful with our senior (but still spry!) dog Sadie and our two teenage cats! I never worried once about my animals or my home while I was on vacation and the animals absolutely adored them. Maizy handled everything from walks, feeding, play time and light medical care for our senior doggie— all while house sitting for us (getting mail, etc.) I am so beyond grateful and satisfied with the care they gave to our animals. Maizy is truly so respectful, caring and supportive. I would recommend them a thousand times over and would definitely reach back out for babysitting in the future.
Hayley did a great job with my two big fluffy dogs! It was the first time I have gone away in four years because I didn't have someone I was comfortable with watching my dogs Beau and Malibu. It was the first time I have used Rover, and I was happy I have found someone who I can trust with my pups. She was very reliable and communicated with me well with texts and pics. I look forward to having Hayley help out again in the future!
Sophia went above and beyond caring for our senior pup while we were away for an extended trip. She sent frequent updates and was able to make decisions for our pup’s care that were thoughtful and improved her condition. We came home to a happy and healthy dog and would book with Sophia again in a heartbeat!
Emily is a fantastic dog sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She stayed at my home for 3 days and took care of my two rambunctious dogs. She was professional, conscientious, responsible, and incredibly communicative throughout her stay, always sending thoughtful updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. She was punctual, attentive, and clearly took excellent care of my dogs, while also being very respectful of my home and leaving it even cleaner than she found it! I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter to care for their pets and home.
With experience as a dog owner herself, Kate is a fantastic and incredibly reassuring dog sitter. She is gentle, fun, and firm — exactly what my pup requires. She’s reliable, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while apart from my dog. I highly recommend Kate, especially because she’s also an awesome person. Thank you Kate!
We were gone for 6 days & Wynn has never been away from us that long. After meeting Taylor you could tell that this wasn't just a job, but a passion. We received "Taylor" made text messages, pictures, & videos from her EVERY day. We even had a special video of Wynn dancing for his sister's, our daughter, wedding. In addition to providing for Wynn, Taylor watered my plants, & we walked into a house that was cleaner than when we left. Taylor is the BEST!
This was the first time I used a pet sitter for my cat. Annie was great. My cat is very shy, and Annie found a way to make my cat comfortable and to play with her. Annie provided updates and pics throughout the time, so I was able to relax on my vacation. This was a great experience.
We couldn't have asked for better care for River. Michele kept him happily engaged from morning to night, and it was clear she genuinely enjoyed his company. She was attentive, warm, and completely reliable, and we came home to a content, well-loved puppy. We're grateful and will gladly book her again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Lauren! Lauren stayed with my cat, Boo, and house-sat for the weekend, and she went above and beyond. She took photos and kept me updated the entire time, so I never had to worry. Boo was happy and cared for, and my home was in great shape when I got back. I'd trust her again in a heartbeat. Love her! 💛
The pups loved her. They are rowdy and fun and active and mischievous but she handled them like a champ. They were happy and active and loved her company. We really appreciated her taking great care of our guys and gal. We could not believe the pictures of our Audrey who is so shy rolling around on the grass and having a ball.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Valley Village is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $99 per night.

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 Village 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 Village 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 Village 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.
