“Ashley is AMAZING. I booked visits for the wrong day and she was still able to help us out with only about an hour notice. So kind! Your dogs would be so lucky to have her as a sitter.”

“I had to go to the emergency room. And I reached out to Kim to take my dog out while I was gone. She responded immediately and dropped everything and came over in the next hour or two. Not really sure exactly when because I was in the ER 🙂 My dog loves her.... And she did exactly what I asked her to do for his habits. After personally talking to her on the phone, I felt comfortable to leave my front door open to let her in my house . And I will not hesitate to use her again!!”

“Meredith is absolutely the best she was so amazing taking care of our doggos! Even the little messes they made she did an amazing job taking care of them and even doing extra to clean up for us! I will recommend her to everyone!”

“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”


About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.
About: I am a veterinary assistant and I am currently trying to get into veterinary school. I have the knowledge and experience to keep your pet safe and take action should any issues arise! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday as a veterinary assistant. I can stop by during my lunch break and after work as needed, and I am available all day Friday-Sunday! I'm happy to accommodate any request that you might have for your pet, as I know that each one is unique and special in their own way! Personally, my dog has bad allergies, and I know how important it is for him not to deviate from his diet.
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with the care, attention, and companionship they need. I am patient, responsible, and dependable. Whether it's walking, playing, keeping them company, or following their daily routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I am available on weekdays after work and on weekends. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care during every visit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions, keep pets in a safe environment, and provide regular updates with photos. I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would give my own.
“Neamh is amazing! She watches my kitten four times a week while my partner and I are at work and takes excellent care of her. She is great at communicating any updates and changes throughout each visit, 10/10 recommend booking with her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs pretty much all of my life. I will give your Pups real one on one care, affection and presence. I am responsive, consistent and someone you can count on in a pinch. I am patient and calm. I will also be able to give you updates. I am retired, so my daily routine will be based around your needs or wants for your pup. I am not juggling a job anymore, so I am open for bookings to help give your dog structure and companionship I do not have the capability, at my home, of having pets at my home due to not having a fenced in yard for their protection.
“Thanks so much for taking great care of them. It looks like Jasmine was more comfortable this time. She must have remembered you. And Leo got his exercise time with the laser light. Thanks again! I am going to book for next month now we made our plans 😊”


“Finding Nancy has been such a blessing. Words I would use to describe her are: professional, prompt, honest, thorough, caring, and compassionate. I have used her services twice now, and feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my babies. I received daily pictures and notifications from her, and anytime I contacted her she was quick to respond, day or night. She is a keeper in my book and if you are in need of pet care, I give her 5 stars ⭐️”

About: Ensure your pet feels safe and loved even when you're not home. My dedicated pet sitting services allow your furry friend to stay in the comfort of their own space. From regular dog walking to attentive care for your pets, I cater to their needs while you're out of town or just away for the day. With a focus on individual attention and affection, your pets will enjoy a stress-free experience. Book with me and give your pets the care they desereve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give my full attention to each animal I look after. I visit clients’ pets before I start my work day and return directly afterward to ensure they stay on their regular schedule. On weekends — and on weekdays when I have extra time — I go beyond the basics by adding extra playtime, enrichment activities, or simply quality companionship for pets who value one-on-one attention. Whether they’re energetic explorers or calm cuddlers, I make sure each pet feels supported, stimulated, and loved every day their family is away. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure their routines and comfort come first. I provide fresh food and clean water, ensure they have proper potty breaks, and clean up any soiled areas to keep their space tidy and stress-free. Each visit includes 30 minutes to an hour of engagement — whether that’s active play, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed cuddle time depending on what the pet enjoys most. I also handle medication when needed, maintain clean litter boxes, and pay close attention to their overall well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
About: I love all animals! I currently have a dog (Sarge) and cat (Momo), plus my family is full of animal lovers. I have been on Rover for 3 years now, and have 2 more years of experience watching my friends, neighbors, and family's pets. I also have past volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am a university student on summer break and have pretty open availability! I do work a full time job during the summer at a daycare, so if you have any questions concerning that schedule please let me know :) On weekends I am completely available! Inquire for specific dates concerning availability and to see if I’d be a good match for your pet care needs ❤️ Your pet is my #1 priority when they are in my care! I am comfortable administering medication, handling puppies and high-strung dogs, using crates, and more! I am very open with my communication to pet owners and think it is incredibly important to update you throughout the visits :)
“Sam was awesome! She sent pics and the dogs Rover card and it really relaxed me to know my dogs were so well cared for when I was away from home. Thank you Sam for caring for my kids ?”

Again, Kim, thank you so much!!!! I had issues with renters today and had to call Kim last minute. I so appreciate that she came by and took care of my dog otherwise he would have been inside for over 9 hours. I trust Kim to let herself in my house and she knows where all Leo's stuff is... And he loves seeing her 🥰 Thank you so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Valparaiso on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 651 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Valparaiso. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Valparaiso stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valparaiso. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
