“Nina was fantastic! I have a older special needs pug & she was great with him. I was so worried about leaving him for 4 days but she took care of everything. I could relax on my trip away with no worries.”
“Isabella was great staying with our three pups! It’s hard for us to board outside of the house all together, and Isabella graciously came to stay with them over the weekend we were gone. She provided daily updates and the pups were all healthy and happy when we got home. We will definitely be reaching back out to her next time we’re out of town!”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching my little dogs! She was caring, professional and kind! She followed all of my instructions and she even took my trash bins in from the outside on trash day. My older dog wouldn’t go upstairs to the guest room with her so instead of leaving him alone downstairs she chose to sleep downstairs with him which was very sweet. Everything was left perfectly clean and Punky and Wilbur were so well taken care of and happy. Thank you so much for your excellent care, Nevaeh!!”
“Julieanne was such an amazing sitter! She communicated incredibly well and I am pretty sure my cat developed a cuddling crush on her over the three day weekend. Absolutely would ask her to pet sit again.”
“Nicholas was great! My dog took to him immediately and after our initial meeting, I was also very comfortable hiring him to care for Gracie while I was out of town. It was clear he loves animals! He left our space clean and tidy and sent a few photos and updates about Gracie, which were greatly appreciated. I am happy to recommend him to other pet owners in need of loving care while away from home.”
“Dylan is truly an angel, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment she walks in, our pups light up—they absolutely adore her. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing they are not just cared for, but genuinely loved when we’re away. Dylan is reliable, attentive, and incredibly kind. She takes the time to understand our dogs’ personalities, routines, and needs, and it shows in how happy and comfortable they are with her. We always come home to calm, content pups and a sense that everything has been handled with care and professionalism. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Dylan is the one. We are so grateful to have found her and feel incredibly lucky to have her as our pet sitter! 🐾💛”
“Lila did an amazing job watching our animals! Our shy cat was sleeping with her after spending the afternoon on her lap. We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing they were so well cared for!”
“Berkleigh was fantastic and we highly recommend! Communicative, thoughtful, and handled our relatively complicated dogs (all three of 'em) real well. We'll definitely work with Berkleigh again :)”
About: I have spent a decade taking care of dogs, helping raise dogs and providing not only a pet - human relationship but an inseparable bond. Many clients of mine have hired me to train their dogs since 2015. My "bible" when raising and taking care of a dog is The Art of Raising A Puppy. I practice non violence and calm tones while caring for all dogs while positively re-enforcing good behavior. Understanding your dogs needs is first and foremost what I will pay attention to. I spend most of my time outside and on trails with my Husky who is friendly, gentle and gets with all dogs. Your dog will have a fun, playful and outgoing stay with me. We will take long walks, go to the dog park, go for a run along the river or in Forest Park. The trails to Marquam and Council Crest are two blocks from my home and take my dog (and other dogs) there frequently. I cater to all needs of all dogs and am very responsive if you have any questions or concerns during your pup's stay. I have a yard and back deck with plenty of space and opportunity to play. I currently work remotely and have plenty of time to look after your pup, as well as take them on adventures on the local trails if the dog is up for it! I care for all dogs equally and will cater to specific needs whether they are a puppy, or even elderly dogs. The environment is clean, safe, and has ample opportunities to run throughout the day.
“Heidi was great housesitting and watching our 5 y/o german shepherd for 10 days. She replied quickly to messages, kept us updated with photos, and even kept our 2 potted plants alive during the 100 degree heat. Frieda seemed well cared for when we got home, and the house was as we left it. Would recommend and use again.”
“Saliha did an amazing job taking care of our cats. She is detail oriented, communicative, and flexible. I can tell that she really loves animals and treats the pets she watches as her own. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated. She followed all the instructions we gave her and did even more. I was nervous to leave our cats, as we had just moved, but she helped our cats feel comfortable immediately. Saliha also helped take out moving boxes which was so kind and unexpected!! I would definitely recommend Saliha to other pet owners, especially if you have a shy cat who is picky about who they like!”
“Julie was able to take a last minute booking, which was incredibly helpful. She was responsive and sent updates and pictures the entire stay. We would definitely book her again.”
“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was very young and have had two dogs my whole life. I also have experience dog-sitting for friends and family, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, giving medicine, and keeping pets happy and safe. I’m reliable and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to consistently make time for pet care. I’m able to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or overnight care. I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals and make it a priority to be reliable and consistent. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely and keep your home clean. I also make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Alicia took great care of our cats! We had just moved into our new home and she was very understanding of the fact that everything was still in boxes and sort of a mess. She provided consistent updates and photos when the cats weren’t hiding!”

Claire was great! She took great care of our dogs and sent cute pictures. They seemed very content with her. Our old semi-feral kitty even came in for some pets. She changed the sheets and the house was clean which is so great after a long trip and jetlag. Definitely recommend!
Elena recently stayed at our home recently for a week with our 7 year old samoyed. This was our first time so we were nervous however she was amazing both with photos and updates. And our dog absolutely adored her. Highly recommend and will we will for sure use her again
We had a medical emergency on our trip. August was totally flexible and supportive as we made our way through the changes in schedule that occurred. It felt as if we had a member of the family helping us out as there was no question about his being there as long as necessary. He checked in often, with reassuring comments. As for our girl Daisy, he kept us informed with wonderful photos of their adventures. August is an excellent photographer! When we arrived home, Daisy was only minimally excited and went to the front door looking for August! Highly recommend! There are not enough words to explain how confident we are in August's kind and good care.
Jacob did great with our dog and cat! He was communicative and flexible, met our dog beforehand, and spent a lot of time with our animals. Our dog developed a limp the day before we left for our trip and Jacob was happy to follow the ver instructions and administer pills. He sent updates and photos each day. We would absolutely have Jacob care for our pets again.
Brian did a great job taking care of our kitty for 3 weeks. He stayed at our home for this period. Our kitty was clearly well taken care of. When we got home she was very calm and content. She clearly received plenty of play time and positive attention. Brian also helped us with a few unplanned events which gave us piece of mind while we were away. We will look forward to using his services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Valmont is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $84 per night. 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 7,850 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Valmont. 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 Valmont 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 Valmont 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 Valmont 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.
