“Dylan was great. My dog is pretty timid, but was quickly. comfortable with Dylan. The house looked the same when we got home as it had before we left, so I know Dylan cleaned up and took the trash out and was respectful of our home.”
“If I could give Robin 10 stars I would. Robin took such good care of my dog, followed all of my instructions, and went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate her efforts, her professionalism, and her genuine, caring nature. I highly recommend Robin.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! Updated us often and kept our home clean. She even went out of her way to let our pup out after her checkout time due to delays in our travel. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Grew up with dogs and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them in everyday life, including feeding, walking, basic training, and understanding different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m confident handling both calm and active dogs and adjusting to their individual needs. I now also own two cats, which has given me additional experience with feline behavior, routines, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and treat every animal with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on short notice when needed. I can’t take pets into my own home because I have two cats, but I’m very happy to stay at the client’s home and provide care there. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and keep their normal routine while you’re away.
About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! I have always been around animals and have cared for them growing up. I have also watched and taken care of other dogs while in college to earn extra income. I’m used to administering medication (dog epilepsy, diabetes, etc.), walking, feeding, and giving them the love and affection that they need. I work 30 hours/week as a therapist, but my schedule is very flexible. I never get off later than 5 pm and I have openings in between sessions throughout the day. I am willing to also stay overnight if needed and am open to being flexible to whatever you and your animals needs are! I also would host your dog at my house if need me :) I want it to be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!
“Lindsay is wonderful! She is reliable, professional and kind. She took great care of our sometimes anxious pup and he was as calm and content as can be when we arrived home after being away for almost a week. Lyndsay also took great care of our home while we were away. The house was in better order when we returned than it was when we left! Thank you Lyndsay!”
“Macy stayed with my fur babies and took the absolute best care of them!! My little place was cleaned and the kitties were so well loved and taken care of!! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to stay with my little puff balls while I was away!! :)”
“As always (our 4th-5th time with her, will book again!) Candace was fabulous. Our pup is always happy and healthy when we get home and we are kept up to date throughout the sit. Candace has also even washed her linens etc. which isn’t expected but a lovely surprise!”
“Zoe stayed at our house and took fabulous care of Finn while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She sent pictures and updates of Finn daily. He always looked happy & well taken care of. It was great to have her watch him. He’s a big cuddle bug & loved to cuddle with Zoe. Our house was just as clean as it was when we left it. Zoe even offered to wash sheets & towels before we got home. Will definitely book Zoe again next time we go on vacation.”
“Steven is an amazing sitter!! We came back to a happy, healthy, and exhausted pup! Would definitely recommend you book with Steven for a stress-free sitter experience :)”
“Brody was great and did an amazing job looking after our two little guys while we were out of town. He was with them frequently, sent us updates daily, and took care of our home. We would definitely use him again!”
About: I am currently a proud pet parent to two dogs and a cat - a 12 year old hound/retriever mix, a 6 year old Aussie, and a 15 year old Siamese cat. My pets are part of my family, and I would love to take care of yours while you are at work or away. Whether your have athletes or couch potatoes, I look forward to meeting you and your Best Furry Friend(s)! I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies/kittens and seniors. I am currently taking a work break, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. For in-home boarding, I will be with your pets most of the time, though I may need to step out to run errands etc. When we schedule boarding services, I will ask about your pets' specific needs for walks, potty breaks etc. and work my schedule to accommodate. My aim is to stick as closely to their regular routines as possible while you are away. I treat your pets and home like they are my own. Whether I am helping with check-ins during the day, or staying in your home while you are away, my priority is the safety and comfort of your pets. This includes ample exercise and walks, scratches and love, and making sure that they are properly fed, attended to for medications, and are let out for potty breaks. Dogs will be leashed at all times for any walks, and under my direct supervision while outside in their own yards.
“Sophia was professional and kind. She paid close attention to our sweet, medically complex senior gal. We felt confident that Sophia would take good care of Lillie, and are looking forward to continuing to work with Sophia again soon!”
About: I grew up with an Anatolian shepherd lab mix and 2 cats and have been sitting/dog walking for friends and family for the last 10 years! I currently have 2 cats at home who were raised with a 50 pound dog, so I get the perfect mix of both worlds!! Especially when my cats try to bark at the front door and rip up their toys. I can’t wait to meet your best friends! I work early mornings to afternoons, so I am free to drop by first thing in the morning, afternoon, or late at night depending on your needs! I’m flexible for those situations where you can’t be home and just want the peace of mind knowing what your pets are up to! I would treat your pets as I do at home. I would never let your pets live in a situation that I wouldn’t be comfortable with myself! I’m here to make sure the time without their owners feels shorter
About: I have had careers in taking care of horses, dogs and cats medically/training wise and more. I’ve grown up around animals all of my life! My schedule is open! I would just need your dates and plans of when you would need me to be at your service, I am very flexible. I am very attentive to detail when it comes to animals. I’m very attentive to when something is wrong and or what they need. I pay mass amounts of attention to the babies, and make sure they are well cared for and also behave through like put firm direction.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,691 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alta. 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 Alta 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 Alta 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 Alta 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
