About: I’m patient, caring, and bring genuine love to every pet I care for. I know that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and provide care. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies and adult dogs. I also enjoy keeping kittens and cats happy and engaged through playtime, cuddles, and a clean litter area. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions from pet parents. In 2018, I adopted my first cat from Best Friends where I’ve volunteered on and off since. In 2025, I did a short term foster with a sweet dog from the Easy Valley Shelter which then led me to foster a second pet who I have since adopted. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I’m currently a grad student pursing a Masters in LMFT through an online program, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I’m available Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and Sundays 8am-5pm! I follow their normal routine, keep a close eye on them, and give them plenty of care and attention. I also respect each client’s home and follow instructions carefully.
“Keri was amazing. She saved the day on a same day urgent sitting request when my other sitter came down with an illness. Incredibly kind and communicative!”
“Super patient with my dog and his anxiety/barking, but he warmed up by the end of the night and was playing with her which he’s never done before! I received updates all night. I’m very happy and would recommend (:”
“Hayley was amazing with my Sadie girl. Sadie has definitely made a friend. Hayley was on time and had great communication while we were out. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“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!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover. Sophia is totally AWESOME!!! Our "boys" are loving kitties anyway, but they took right to her, and she took such amazing care of them - and our home! Whenever we go away, Sophia will be the one we contact! Thank you, Rover, for doing all of the background work and giving our pets an awesome experience!”
“Lauren is fantastic! She responded so quickly to a last minute request we had, came by the next day to visit the pets for a meet and greet, and then stayed with them the next night while we were out. She is very friendly, punctual, intuitive and easygoing. Our dog was very comfortable with her to say the least, and our cat who is normally quite shy even came out of hiding while she was there. We are grateful Lauren could come by and are looking forward to hopefully having her back soon!”
“Kat took great care of Lusi while we were gone for the day. She sent us detailed updates and photos and helped us feel completely confident our girl was in great hands! Would definitely book again!”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Shenelle took such good care of our girl during the holiday! Our dog, Rory, hurt her leg the week before our trip so I wanted to make sure she had good support while we were gone. Shenelle was amazing and sent us pictures and updates. We will be booking with her again!”
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 cared for all types of pets and animals! I learned body language from pet sitting and animal watching. Have raised baby chicks, puppies and kittens with love :) I am on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays afternoon but besides that I have open availability for pet care! I am open on weekends if you need to go out for whatever reason! I usually house sit for my clients and watch their pets. If close enough I do walks or check-ins and feed when needed or requested.
“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!”
“I highly recommend Juilieanna she is patient and takes fanatic care of my pup. She sends me videos and photos throughout the day with status updates and I appreciate the kindness and great care she gives my dog!”
“Chelsea was amazing. Her ability to handle our large and various number for animals with ease was the perfect fit, she even made them special enrichment treats! We came home to a happy crew. Thanks again!!”
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
Waldo, my dog, was very comfortable with Adam from our first meet and greet. Waldo actually crawled up behind him in the chair and fell asleep on Adam's shoulder! We knew then that Waldo was in grest hands with Adam. Adam did a wonderful job at house sitting, taking Waldo on walks, and cuddling with him. Adam sent pictures and highlights about each day. When we arrived home, the house was clean and Waldo was a happy dog. I would definitely hire Adam again and highly recommend him to others.
Jade was so lovely and communicative with me while staying with my girls! She was persistent and patient with my kitty who has to take a medicine that she hates and I was so appreciative. She left my space clean and tidy! Overall, it was so lovely being able to travel and trust that Jade was taking fantastic care of my babies!
Beth was perfect! She accommodated us last-minute and handled our Doberman's medication schedule with ease. Communication was excellent. She is patient, kind, and a lovely person. Our cats and dog were at ease with her, which helped us make a quick overnight trip possible.
Taia was wonderful with Fluffy while I was away. Fluffy is a senior rescue with some anxiety, leash reactivity, and a medication routine, so I’m extremely particular about who I trust with her. Taia took great care of her, kept me updated throughout the stay, sent photos, followed her routine, and made me feel comfortable being across the country. I came home to a happy little girl, which is ultimately what matters most to me. I’d absolutely trust Taia with Fluffy again and really appreciate the care she gave her.
Orion is More than we could ever ask for a pet sitter. Our plans changed last minute after a small dog fight where he was originally going to stay at, and our fur baby was going through a very difficult phase afterwards. He was scared and aggressive, and we unfortunately had to leave him with a stranger watching him. Orion became no stranger, and tried his very best to be a warm stable rock while we were away. His patience and kindness is no joke, and his constant updates made our trip possible to be enjoyed. The night that we came back, Umbo had Orion’s sock in his mouth and was whining walking around the house. Safe to say that Umbo, despite being sad that we were gone, was happy that Orion was the one that took care of him.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
