“Caron has just started walking my 2-year-old GSP mid-day, and I love how attentive and caring she is. This is the first time Woody has had a "sitter" since the pandemic, and she is the perfect caretaker for him. She is very communicative, and always gives me an update after she's been over.”
“Clarissa is THE BEST. She is the only person we will use to watch our two doggos when we are out of town or away for a date night. weve taken short weekend trips, an evening away and now have an upcoming full week out of town - and we can only do it because she does so well with them. Highly recommend!”
“First experience using Rover, Alexandra made it super easy. She sent an update and pictures for every visit and the dogs warmed up to her fast! We will definitely contact Alexandra again to watch our dogs!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds throughout my life. Ranging from bloodhounds, German shepherds, to Belgian Malinois and others. I’m very familiar with working dog breeds and have trained myself own Belgian Malinois. No matter what need your furry family member needs, I will ensure it is met and exceeded. Currently I’m in the Army National Guard so I have tons of availability and free time to devote to animals and pet care. I also spend tons of time outside and hiking with my Belgian Malinois. I have a wooden fully fenced in back yard. I also am familiar with escapee dogs and am very quick to respond to many situations when needed. I am not afraid of confrontation so that is not a worry either.
“Anna was amazing! We have 3 dogs in the 55-60lb range, and she was so patient with the 2 anxious ones who needed a bit more time to warm up to her. Once they did, they loved her. She came to our house to care for them while we were away and sent us updates with pictures regularly. We're all big fans and will definitely be asking her to watch the pups when we go out of town again!”
“Gina was reliable, prompt, professional, followed our instructions, and took time with Grace to giver her attention and form a bond. She sent us pictures and videos at each visit and gave us updates to show us how well Grace was doing. We loved the care Gina gave Grace and highly recommend her. We will be booking with Gina again. Thank you Gina!”
“My dog took to her instantly and it’s apparent Caitlyn has been around animals. She’s very attentive to dogs needs. I feel grateful I found her. She spent a lot of time with me and Bella at the meet and greet.”
“Amber was great and asked many questions to make sure that my fur babies were well taken care of. She stayed in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos of my fur babies so I wouldn't be stressing. If you are looking for a phenomenal pet sitter, I highly recommend Amber.”
“Ginny was fantastic! She was dedicated to caring for our animals! She was also happy to send pictures along of our happy pets which made it all more comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we away on vacation! Thank you Ginny!!”
“Cheryl did a great job taking care of my somewhat persnickety cat, Dottie while we were away for a week. She came by every day and even helped me out by watering my plants one day, which was a huge help. We got cute pics of Dottie and I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. Would definitely use Cheryl again.”
“Bethany was so sweet and took the time to come meet Booger in person before the first official visit which was so nice. Next time I go out of town, I'd definitely feel comfortable with her watching my dog again.”
“Alexis was very flexible and kept us up to date. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans and she worked with us very well. She took very good care of our little pup :) Thank you Alexis!”
“Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.”
“Charlie did an amazing job caring for our dog! She showed up when we had a last minute cancellation by another Rover and we could not be more thankful and happy to have found her. She was extremely responsive and provided amazing updates and pictures while we were out of town.”
“AMAZING! My cats are wellll taken care of with her. I highly recommend angelica! She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and played with my cats🥺 Thanks again for all your help i will book again!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She kept me updated like I asked and sent photos every time - she ended up taking my new favorite photo of one of my dogs, too 🥹 Jessica was kind, thorough, and communicative. She was exactly what we needed, perfectly trustworthy, and reliable. We don’t know much of anyone in our town yet as we just moved, so we were very nervous with leaving our anxious dogs already. But Jessica’s care for our fur babies allowed us to enjoy our time away with little to no worries, leaving us confident that they were in good hands. We are so grateful, and will definitely look for her availability next time we need some help with our girls!”

Erika did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Tig. I really appreciate that she spent time with him and even went the extra step to refresh his water and sweep up. This is the second time she’s watched Tig, and she continues to be reliable and caring. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Valparaiso on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
