“Emma did a great job of making a connection with our dog. It was apparent he felt comfortable with her. We really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent to us regularly. Thank you!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Julie provided for our three dogs. Her responsiveness to our emails and texts along with being very conscientious to our pets’ needs gave us peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy, healthy and most importantly, safe, when we returned home. We have already booked her for an upcoming trip. We highly recommend Julie if you want a responsible, caring pet sitter.”
“First time booking Audrey for house sitting (have booked previously for drop in visits) and I am very happy when I come home to two happy cats and a clean home. Thank you Audrey :)”
“Rosemary was very sweet and incredibly thorough when asking questions during our original meetup. That made me feel assured she was going to take great care of our pups, which she did! She stayed at our house while we were gone and took great care of that too. You couldn't even tell she was there! Her communication was great and we felt we could enjoy our time away without worrying. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook when needed in the future. ☺️”
“Meaghan took great care of our energetic 17 month old Lab. She arrived a few minutes early, which was much appreciated. Also appreciated was the photo of our dog having fun while we were away! Thank you Meighan.”
“Love, love, love Emma! If you’re looking for an exceptional sitter for your furry friends, don’t think twice about reaching out to Emma. She is super responsive to messaging, followed up as she said she would, was on time for the meet and greet and was on time the day she was supposed to start. She sat in our home for 2 dogs and two cats for three days. She sent multiple pictures of the pets, fed them to schedule and we felt very comfortable while away. We will reach out to Emma every time we need a sitter!”
“Velma did a super job of taking care of my elderly pup who has some special medication needs. He was healthy and happy when I returned and seemed not to get as anxious as he has with some sitters. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Morgan watched our 3 dogs and 1 cat, which was no easy feat, and she made it look easy. Not only is she trustworthy and kind, the animals loved her and she sent photo updates while we were on vacation. To have no stress while out of town and our babies looked after so well is priceless. She is now our regular sitter :)”
“Candice is great with our dog, for the past 2 years and now here on Rover. Maple gets so excited to see her like her long lost Bestie. She, spends time quality time outside playing with her, loving on her, hanging out & even waters my garden if we are gone for an extended time.”
“This was my first time having Macie house/pet sit for my senior dog and cat and she was awesome! Highly responsive, a great communicator and sent me daily pics and updates over the 3 days I was away. I’m a helicopter pet mom and was at peace because of how communicative Macie was. I will definitely choose Macie again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend her.”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our pups! We have a nervous Nellie and she spent extra time with them and worked around our flight schedule to reduce the time our pups would need to be crated. House was clean and neat when we arrived and we got twice daily updates. We’ll use her again if available!”
“she was amazing!! had a great meet and greet, updated us while we were gone, and left a thank you note as we left a ‘welcome’ note. it was a place having her watching our pet kids and we are looking forward to her next visit with us :)”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“Highly Recommend Jocelyn for Overnight Cat Sitting! We recently had Jocelyn stay with our cat, Wilson, for a full week of overnights, and we couldn't be happier with her service! From the moment we booked, Jocelyn was professional and friendly, and her care for Wilson while we were away was exceptional. Jocelyn was incredibly communicative throughout the week, providing regular updates and even photos of Wilson, which truly put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Beyond just caring for Wilson, Jocelyn went above and beyond in taking care of our home. We were so impressed to come back and find the house even tidier than when we left! She thoughtfully took care of details like taking out the trash and even washed the towels and sheets she had used – something we've never experienced with other sitters. This level of attention to detail truly sets her apart. Most importantly, Wilson was clearly very comfortable and content when we returned. He seemed relaxed and happy, which speaks volumes about the care and attention Jocelyn provided. We wholeheartedly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and exceptionally thoughtful cat sitter. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
About: We've been taking care of dogs all our lives, they are family! We whelped 2 litters of puppies from my sweet golden retriever Daisy. We love playing and cuddling with dogs and long walks on our property! Let your dog get a vacation/retreat from city life and enjoy the fresh air on the mountain here! Someone is pretty much here all the time so your dogs get LOTS of attention & walks. If your dog would be more comfortable you can bring along something that smells like home. Also their leash, food, snacks are optional and anything else they prefer. **We prefer to board dogs more than one night, that way there is less traffic on our road.** **Once you drive to the top of the mountain by our homes, please drive super slow to avoid dusting out the neighbors and them being happy, so we can keep boarding dogs! 🐕 thank you SO much!** We are home full time so we are here to give your pets the full attention they need! We are excited to have your pet experience life on the mountain with fresh air and long walks! I have a fenced yard, a friendly golden retriever who loves having friends over, and country trails to take the dogs on long walks. Trust us to take care of your pets and allow them to have a retreat away from home.
“Suzy was an exceptional kitten sitter. During her week-long stay at our home, she maintained everything and left our home just as she found it. I loved receiving the daily updates and photos of Lila while we were away. Upon returning, we found a happy and healthy kitten, thanks to Suzy's attentive care. Without a doubt, she will be our go-to sitter in the future! 😺”
“Carla was exceptional! I would absolutely ask her again for future care as she was so incredible with my senior dog Sheerah who is very attached to me and needs a lot of love, attention and medical care. Carla went above and beyond in her communication and attention to detail. If you are thinking of using or requesting her services, please do as she was top notch! Thank you again Carla so much for everything! Couldn’t have asked for someone as kind and thoughtful as you!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Valleyford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 749 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valleyford. 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 Valleyford 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 Valleyford 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 Valleyford 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.

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.
