About: Meow! I'm Raelene, cat mom and pet guardian fluent in multiple dialects of cat, including orange, tabby, void, Maine Coon, Siamese, tuxedo, and cow. My current clowder has seven members, ranging from a spunky new orange kitten to my old lady who just turned 18.

As our fur children have their own personalities, routines, quirks, and needs, each visit/stay can be customized around what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means playtime, medication schedules, or providing an audience while they scream inexplicably from the bathtub, I'm happy to accommodate. I'm based in Yakima and am also willing to travel, with adjusted rates based on distance. Currently working towards a masters degree. My courses are online so my availability to care for your pet is flexible. My availability is open Sunday through Saturday, including overnight pet sitting stays (a perk of portable, online schoolwork). I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. Each pet receives an individualized Pet Care Plan covering feeding, medications, routines, behaviors, preferences, and any special needs. I follow their plan closely while providing plenty of play, enrichment, affection (or respectful admiration from across the room) according to their preferences.

“Are dogs are always comfortable and well taken care of when Sarah stays with them. She is a responsible sitter and we are always pleaser with her communication and updates.”
“William and Jessica were amazing! They were so kind and patient with our nervous, anxious dog who took awhile to warm up, and quickly charmed her with treats. They gave us frequent updates and clearly gave all our animal friends tons of love and attention. They were really responsible and professional, and we booked them for our next trip right away!”

About: Hello! My name is ash, I grew up in a loving animal house! As my mom would say I am an animal loving person. I love all different sizes or shapes such as rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats and birds! I have been loving, caring and gentle with animals since I was a little girl. My first ever pet was a puppy, we rescued him from an animal shelter. I have trained, fed and walked him. All of the pets that I have had were guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, lizards, horses, dogs and cats. So you can say I am an animal lover to the bone. I also have house sit, dog walking and trained a variety of animals for my neighborhood, family members and friend. I currently have a pit/lab mix. I am grateful to be able to give the love and care needed to your fur babies! I am currently a new business owner! So I do still have days off during the week and weekends. Typically I work in the mornings to late lunch. If have questions or anything, just ask away! I will care for your pets at your home. I can also do dog walks and do check ups! I will be communicating to the owners about everything the pet and I have done. From the time I get there and leave.
About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs! Big, small, happy and angry ones! I currently have 3 XL dogs who are my babies :-) I know all pups can be different and I plan to get to know each and every one of them! I just moved into the Yakima area and I’m available pretty much 24/7! I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant but I’m still very active for walks and play time with pups :-) I currently have 3 large dogs and have plenty experience with leash pulling/controlling large strong pups. I know an escape artist when I see one (I have a husky)!
“Harley did such a great job taking care of our home and fur babies. She left the house near and tidy - even mopped the floor and washed the sheets. She also watered my plants. It’s so nice to feel confident that someone loves my fur babies and takes care of them like her own.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Valley
Myra is the best ever! Our dogs are on medicine and one of our dogs is having health issues. Mayra distributed their medicine with no problem and when she sent pictures, my dogs looked the same as if I was there. I highly suggest Myra for house and animal sitting!!!
We have booked Olivia to stay in our home with 3 dogs for two separate occasions and we have had a great experience both times! Olivia is very attentive to our dogs needs and stays in contact during the stay with photos and updates. Each time we arrive back home, the dogs are well cared for and our home is left in great shape.
Chelsey was amazing! This was our first time hiring a cat sitter and I must say it was WAY better than relying on a friend. Our boys are rescues that we've only had for a month and we were so worried about leaving them. Chelsey eased our minds tremendously. She has great knowledge of cat behavior. Took amazing photos of our handsome boys and gave us daily updates on how they were doing. She was respectful of our home (we have food allergies) and it was nice knowing someone was able to stay overnight with our kitties. We will definitely ask Chelsey back again the next time we need to leave town! I would highly recommend her to others :)
Jenna was fantastic! We were gone for three nights and she went above and beyond to make our dogs feel like nothing had changed. She sent updates and photos multiple times a day and the house looked spotless when we arrived home. We will definitely use her again if we are to go out of town.
Elyse did an amazing job with my dog. He was a happy boy when mama returned and the house was spotless like she wasn’t even here. I really appreciated the 2 special times she and her husband went out of their way to visit Buddy and get to know him before the job. He went for walks and played the whole time and is tired. This was only a weekend but she is trusted now for a possible 7 to 10 day house sitting next time. Thank you so much Elyse.
I am so impressed by Lyn. They were on time, cheerful, listened to the care instructions intently, and greeted Sophie with joy and kindness. Sophie is normally nervous for me to leave her, but this time she didn't bat an eye. She knew she was in good hands. Lyn sent pictures and responded quickly to check ins. When we arrived home I could tell that Sophie really enjoyed her time with Lyn. I can't recommend them enough to care for your pet!

The average cost of House Sitting in West Valley is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $81 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Valley. 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 West Valley 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 West Valley 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 West Valley 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.
